Historic turning point for Louisiana
Many in America may have been surprised upon reading about the passage of historic education reform in Louisiana. This dawn of a new day in public education happened as a result of the House and Senate passing Gov. Bobby Jindal's education reform package, covering school choice, scholarships, charters, tenure, and other governance issues. For a state that struggles to let go of its past, this was a monumental achievement—and a great day for children.
The rest of the country took note of Louisiana's actions. National business leaders read this in The Wall Street Journal: "Louisiana is poised to establish the nation's most expansive system of school choice by adopting a package of vouchers and other tools that would give many parents control over the use of tax dollars to educate their children." Back home, a Times-Picayune editorial praised Jindal's reforms, saying, "Gov. Jindal is right to be bold. Despite those earlier reform efforts, Louisiana students still lag behind their counterparts in most other states. Implemented wisely, these reforms could make students more competitive—and improve their lives and the state's economic future."
As the battle unfolded with protests at the state Capitol, I thought back to the days when the unions tried to stop Louisiana from becoming a right-to-work state. Now they were back, this time trying to block the governor and legislators from creating a "right-to-learn" state. Thank goodness for those legislators who showed the courage to stand up for children and parental choice. I applaud them—and the many other people and organizations that worked so hard to help this become a reality.
This was a hard-fought battle and, in my view, each vote was a litmus test as to whether one was "pro-child, pro-reform" or "pro-union, pro-status quo." This was about willingness to try new solutions to an old problem versus accepting a system that leaves children trapped in failing schools with little hope for the future.
You should go to the legislative web- site and look up the bills (HB 974 and HB 976 by Rep. Steve Carter) and see how your legislator voted. They have been branded one way or the other. No excuses. Nowhere to run and hide. They had their chance and had to choose sides. Their votes are part of history.
Noel Hammatt, the former East Baton Rouge Parish School Board member who, in his last election, was defeated by a 3-to-1 margin, still hasn't come to grips with the fact that his 16-year record on the board was a dismal failure, accentuated by increasing student flight from the system, breakaway independent school districts and what remains of the district being rated as one of the worst in Louisiana. Yet, according to Hammatt, none of the blame resides with him or his then-colleagues on the school board. Instead, he says, blame everything on poverty.
Hammatt, in a recent Advocate letter to the editor attacking CABL's Barry Erwin and his support of Gov. Bobby Jindal's education reform, did his best to impress by throwing around "statistics" linking poverty to school failure. This self-proclaimed "independent researcher" noted St. Helena Parish has both the state's highest poverty rate as well as the lowest public school scores.
What Hammatt did not share were facts about another Helena—this one Helena, Ark., a city located in one of the poorest counties in that state. Helena is also home to a KIPP charter school opened in 2002 and run by Scott Shirey. It's interesting to note that Shirey was previously a Teach For America teacher in Baton Rouge before becoming a KIPP Fellow who wanted to open a KIPP school in Baton Rouge to serve impoverished students.
To be clear, there is no doubt that there is a link between income and academic achievement, but an impoverished student is not guaranteed a life of academic failure, as Hammatt would lead one to believe. And Shirey and KIPP have proven that.
What Hammatt fails to mention is that he, along with Rep. Pat Smith, then an East Baton Rouge school board member, is a longtime, outspoken critic of charter schools. Hammatt and Smith were two board members who strongly rejected Shirey's request to open a KIPP charter school in Baton Rouge. Instead of supporting innovative, risk-taking opportunities, they opted for the status quo, and now both decry the conditions of our public education system. Instead of taking responsibility for their failures, they opt, instead, to blame others for the continuing decline of public education in Baton Rouge.
Here are some stats, courtesy of KIPP, that might interest Hammatt: According to U.S. census data, only 30% of all Americans aged 25-29 have earned a four-year college degree. For students whose families are in the bottom economic quartile, only 8% hold a four-year college degree by their mid-20s. By contrast, 36% of KIPP students who finished eighth grade at KIPP 10 or more years ago have completed a four-year college degree. This rate is higher than the average for all students across all income levels nationwide, and four times the college completion rate of students from low-income communities. To summarize, KIPP students, almost all of whom come from impoverished backgrounds, earn college degrees at a rate greater than the American average, regardless of economic background.
Let's get beyond the stats and look at reality. Shirey, after being rejected by the likes of Hammatt and Smith, took his talents to Arkansas and opened a school in Helena. (He has since opened several other KIPP schools in Arkansas.) In a recent profile of Shirey, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette wrote, "As the third class of seniors begins its final year at KIPP, Shirey confides that the attitude of each class has evolved. The class of 2010 was unique; they were the pioneer graduates, and all 23 students were accepted into college. In one of the poorest counties in the state, where 89 percent of the students are eligible for the free school lunch program, this was a major milestone."
You don't hear Shirey making excuses about students from poor backgrounds in "his Helena" being unable to achieve high academic results. Instead of excuses, Shirey is producing results.
It is interesting to note that a decade after Hammatt and Smith rejected Shirey and KIPP, they are still coming up with excuses and fighting reform. Meanwhile, Shirey and Helena are celebrating success as their graduating seniors from poor financial backgrounds go off to college. And just think, it could have been Baton Rouge's lower-income children getting ready for their freshman year in college.
Paint the town
Baton Rouge can take another step toward becoming a cool city with your support. Casey Phillips and Kathryn Thorpe are spearheading the BR Walls Project, which has a goal to "transform the dull, beige and grey walls downtown into modern works of art" and "enhance BR's visual arts scene."
Lamar Advertising has agreed to produce the vinyl artwork that will display the works of local artists, selected by a jury of artists and museum directors. The first walls will be located on Fourth Street.
But first they have to raise $25,000 by April 26. You can get more information at brwallsproject.com.
Remember to vote
For those who live in the city limits of Baton Rouge, Baker or Zachary, you get to vote on the CATS tax on Saturday, April 21. I will vote "no" for many reasons, as I explained in my last column. You can find it online here.

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will evaluate patients with abnormal immune function that results in recurrent or unusual infections or chronic inflammation. This may include inherited conditions, such as X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID), chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), and leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD), or conditions resulting from outside factors, such as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The information from this study will be used to establish the pattern and pace of change of the disease and to help develop new treatments. The period of observation and study following enrollment in this study may be for up to one year. In addition these studies may provide the medical information needed to determine eligibility for enrollment in other clinical study protocols and more prolonged follow up.
Patients of any age with abnormal immune function who have recurrent or unusual infections, whose blood tests show evidence of immune dysfunction, or who have GVHD, XSCID, CGD or LAD may be eligible for this study. Patients' parents, siblings, grandparents, children, aunts, uncles and first cousins of any age also may be included. Healthy normal volunteers between 18 and 85 years of age are recruited as controls.
Normal volunteers undergo a physical examination and provide blood, saliva, and urine samples for immune function studies. Patients' family members provide a medical history, have a physical examination, and give blood and urine samples, and possibly a saliva sample. The samples are used for genetic and routine laboratory studies. Investigators may request tissue samples, such as biopsy specimens, previously removed for medical reasons to be sent to NIH for study. Patients undergo the following tests and procedures:
- Medical history and physical examination.
- Blood and urine tests, including analysis for genes involved in immune disorders.
- Buccal smear (in some patients) for genetic studies. This involves scraping the lining of the mouth near the cheek.
- Specialized tests to evaluate specific conditions in patients who have an immune disorder that might affect lung function, gum infections or eye problems. These may include chest x-ray, CT scan, breathing function test, dental, eye, and hearing examinations.
Follow-up visits of patients with immune problems may occur at 6 months and at one year after the first visit (or more frequently if medically required) to include:
- Medical history update
- Physical examination
- Follow-up on abnormal test results and medical treatments initiated at NIH
- Collection of blood, saliva, urine, or wound drainage samples for repeat immune function studies
- Tissue study of specimens removed for medical reasons at other institutions besides NIH
Immune System Diseases
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Screening and Baseline Assessment of Patients With Abnormalities of Immune Function
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|August 2005
This protocol is designed for the screening and baseline assessment of patients with abnormalities of immune function as manifested by recurrent or unusual infections, recurrent or chronic inflammation, or previous laboratory evidence of immune dysfunction. Abnormalities of immune function may be inherited or may be iatrogenic such as that following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or other treatments resulting in prolonged immune dysfunction. Blood and/or bone marrow cells may also be used to investigate the utility of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) for immune cell derivation and targeted gene correction. This is not a protocol to study or screen for human immunodeficiency virus infection, though patients with HIV infection who may have other causes for immune dysfunction are not excluded. First or second degree genetically related family members (limited to mother, father, siblings, grandparents, children, aunts, uncles and first cousins of an affected patient) may also be screened for clinical, in vitro and genetic correlates of immune abnormalities. Healthy Volunteers will be enrolled as a source of control blood samples for research testing, not to include genetic testing. Screening and baseline assessment under the auspices of this study may be limited to two visits over one year period, unless the patient has been determined by initial evaluation to require further study at NIH or are ongoing long-term safety assessments as required by their participation on a gene therapy or transplant protocol. Patients with documented immune dysfunction may receive limited medically indicated treatment if that medically indicated treatment is related to the abnormality of immune function under study, with such treatment limited to the period of the one year baseline assessment indicated in this protocol. When screening and assessment is complete, patients will be offered an opportunity to participate in another study, or if there are no active studies appropriate for the patient, other options will be suggested to the primary or referring physician.
This protocol will allow detailed investigation of patients with abnormalities of immune function with up to one year of observation with the following goals:
- To determine the degree, scope and cause of immune dysfunction;
- To establish the pace and pattern of change in the disease process;
- To determine the extent of organ involvement and damage from immune dysfunction.
This screening and baseline assessment is necessary to discover new causes of immune abnormalities, to delineate epidemiology of immune deficiencies, to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic tools, and to determine a patient's eligibility for other studies.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|up to 90 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
- Patients with abnormalities of immune function as manifested by recurrent or unusual infections, recurrent or chronic inflammation, or previous laboratory evidence of immune dysfunction are eligible for screening and baseline assessment under this protocol.

Really wish they cut away to Rhea Durham's face more last night during the MTV Movie Awards. Did you see her expression after the Rihanna/Eminem performance? I can't the video because they keep pulling everything down but if you have it on your DVR still, go back and find it. Mrs Wahlberg has a reputation. Full Story

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Red Sox manager John Farrell said prior to his team's spring training game with the Twins that reliever Craig Breslow — who has been dealing with left shoulder stiffness — most likely won't be ready to contribute by the time the Sox take on the Yankees in the season-opener on April 1.
"He's in the strengthening today. He's on an every other day throwing program right now," Farrell said of Breslow. "It's hard to project right now that he'll be ready to go once camp breaks. He's going to need a little time. He's going to have to go back through not only the long toss progression but bullpens and (batting practice), that normal progression. For a reliever, it's a little bit shorter but still, he's got some steps he's got to go through."
Another lefty who has been slowed is Franklin Morales (back stiffness), who Farrell explained will have to enter the season on a reliever's program due to his relative inactivity. Morales was originally slated to be stretched out as a starter.
There is also no certainty that Morales, who has been on anti-inflammatories, will be available by Opening Day.
"Depenidng on these next probably five to seven days go and how he can pick back up in the throwing program, that's going to give us a better read on whether he's going to be ready to go," Farrell said. "But he's had one appearance and one inning. It's not been a lot."
With the two ailments putting a dent in the left-handed options in the Red Sox' bullpen, some righties who have had success against lefty hitters — such as Koji Uehara and Clayton Mortensen — may be relied on to fill the role short-term.
"Coming into camp, there was, just by numbers, there was a surplus, and just some guys out of options," the manager explained." They're limited in what movement you can do with certain guys. This is clear proof that it has a way of sorting itself out at some point."

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the JL Audio HD Series HD600/4 by Gabrielle Thorndyke My system has plenty of power. 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. Small amps, big power JL Audio's HD Series amplifiers offer high performance from an ultra-compact chassis. These Class D amplifiers use less power, take up less space, and generate less heat than traditional amp designs — you can even stack them up to create a sweet-looking installation. JL Audio technology goes to work for you HD Series amplifiers reproduce your music with exceptional accuracy, so you'll hear high-fidelity sound even under the most demanding conditions. JL Audio uses Single Cycle Control™ technology to eliminate the excessive signal distortion that's plagued Class D amplifiers in the past. Differential-balanced inputs eliminate noise before it hits the preamp stage, and allow you to connect the amp to just about any in-dash stereo. You'll hear clear, true, studio-quality audio, exactly what you expect from JL Audio. 4 channels of reliable power The 4-channel HD600/4 amplifier pushes 150 watts RMS per channel to your speakers or subs, from a 2" tall chassis that's about the size of a sheet of computer paper. The regulated power supply allows this amp to deliver its rated power to a wide range of impedances, even when voltage levels drop during heavy use. Removable power and speaker plugs make it easy to pop this amp out if you need the space in your cargo area. Some extra touches You can use JL Audio's optional stack kit to mount one HD Series amp on top of another, so you can maximum power from minimum space. JL's wired remote allows you to control your HD amp's volume from your front seat.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Controls Connections Features Four-Channel Full-Range Amplifier: The JL Audio HD600/4 is a Class D four-channel, full-range amplifier that is rated at 150 Watts RMS x 4-channel in 1.5 to 4-ohm at 20 to 20kHz with a signal-to-noise-ratio of 110 dB and a total harmonic distortion of 0.03% while receiving 11 to14.5 Volts. The amplifier can also be bridged to output 300 Watts RMS x 2-channel in 3 to 8-ohms. High-Fidelity Class D (HD) With Single-Cycle Control: The JL Audio HD600/4 utilizes patented Single Cycle Control Class D technology for all channels. This technology delivers reference-grade sonic performance while requiring far less current from the vehicle's electrical systems than a conventional amplifier. Single Cycle Control is a unique approach to controlling a full-range Class D amplifier. By tracking the audio signal, comparing it to the real PWM waveform and then correcting it in each and every cycle (over 400,000 times per second), a multitude of distortion-causing mechanisms can be tightly controlled to enable pristine amplification. While there are certainly less expensive ways to make a full-range switching amplifier, no other Class D control system works faster or more accurately than Single Cycle Control. Compact/Efficient Design: The JL Audio Class D amplifier on average is 13% smaller overall and over 1/2-inch shorter in height than most class AB amplifiers. The HD600/4 features outstanding overall efficiency (80% at 1/2 rated power) which allows for huge power from a tiny chassis and is easy on your vehicle's charging system, drawing 60% less current than a class AB design of equal power. R.I.P.S. (Regulated, Intelligent Power Supply): R.I.P.S. stands for "Regulated, Intelligent Power Supply" and is a central feature of the JL Audio's JL Audio HD amplifier. The JL Audio R.I.P.S. System ensures consistent power delivery over a wide range of battery voltages and load impedances. This technology provides optimum power at any impedance level between 1.5 ohm to 4 ohm per channel and at any vehicle voltage level between 11V and 14.5V. Regulated Power Supply: "Regulated" means that the power supply adjusts its operation so as to maintain the amplifier's rated power output and low distortion operation over a wide range of vehicle voltages (11V-14.5 V). This allows the JL Audio JL Audio HD amplifier's the rail voltage and clean power output to remain stable in real-world car-audio systems, resulting in superior fidelity and stability. Intelligent Power Supply: The "Intelligent" portion of the R.I.P.S. System is a circuit that actually monitors output current to optimize the amplifier's output power over a wide range of load impedances (1.5 ohm to 4 ohm per channel). The R.I.P.S. System detects the actual impedance being driven and adjusts output rail voltages to deliver optimum output. The entire process is seamless, automatic, and results in incredible dynamics for satellite channels and consistent power output for a wide range of subwoofer configurations. It also takes into account the real impedance of your car-audio system, rather than relying on often inaccurate assumptions based on a speaker's rated impedance. RealSink Heat Management With Rollback Protection: This JL Audio amplifier employ and advanced type of heat management, called RealSink. This features takes advantage of convection and radiation effects to remove heat from the amplifier circuitry. For optimum cool performance, the vertical heat sinks located at the sides of the amplifier should be exposed to as large a volume of air as possible. If a JL Audio HD amplifier should ever reach an unsafe temperature, its unique Advanced Rollback Protection circuit also adjusts power until the amplifier cools down, without ever shutting your music down. Differential-Balanced Inputs: The JL Audio amplifier features differential-balanced input architecture to effectively control noise and ensure compatibility with a wide variety of source units, including many OEM systems. Without resorting to line output converters, you can directly connect most OEM source units to the JL Audio amplifier without creating any noise or compatibility issues. Unlike conventional single-ended inputs, the differential-balanced design does not connect one side of the audio signal to chassis ground. This eliminates any voltage sensitivity between one input terminal and ground and greatly reduces the incidence of alternator whine in a typical car audio installation. The JL Audio HD amplifier provides range switching on each of its inputs via the "Input Voltage" switch. This permits connection to a wide range of source voltages while retaining excellent sensitivity setting precision. Note: You will need two speaker wire to RCA adaptors (136XDCLR2S, sold separately) to connect this amplifier to your headunit via speaker-level. Protection Circuitry With Status Indicator Lights: There is a single multi-color LED on the control panel of the amplifier to indicate the amplifier's operating status. Flashing Green: When the LED is flashing green, the amplifier is powering up and audio output is muted. Constant Green: This LED lights green to indicate that the amplifier is turned on and operating normally. Constant Red: This Red LED lights to indicate that the amplifier has exceeded its safe operating temperature, putting the amplifier into a shelf-protection mode, which reduces the power output of the amplifier. The red light will shut off and the amplifier will return to normal, full-power operating mode if the heat sink temperature drops back to a safe level. Constant Yellow: This amber LED lights to indicate that the impedance of the speaker load connected to the amplifier is lower than the optimum impedance load range for the amplifier. When this light is on, a protection circuit engages and reduces the power output of the amplifier. The amber indicator will also light when a short-circuit is detected in the speaker wiring. Alternating Red/Green: The LED alternated between Red and Green to indicate that the amplifier is experiencing a fault that may require service of the amplifier, its wiring, or the vehicle's operating system. Audio is muted when this fault occurs. Note: There is only one condition that will shut down the HD600/4 completely and that is if the battery voltage of your vehicle drops below 10 volts. Mounting Options: The HD600/4 has two mounting option to choose from during installation. Standard Mounting: The standard method of mounting requires removal of the four corner caps with the 3/16-nch he-wrench included with the amplifier. Using the appropriate mounting screws (not included), you can then secure the amplifier in all four corners and replace the corner caps. Lateral Mounting Feet: Lateral Mounting Feet are also included with the HD600/4 to provide an alternative mounting option. Each mounting foot should be attached to the bottom of the amplifier by screwing the provided bolts into the bottom of the amplifier and up into the corner cap with the supplied 1/8-inch hex-wrench. Then, using the appropriate mounting screws (not included), you can secure the amplifier by its four lateral mounting feet. Controls Control Panel Cover: The HD600/4 features a Control Panel Security Cover which protects and hides the amplifier's controls. When installed, the cover ensures that the amplifier's settings are not accidentally changed while creating a clean aesthetic look for the amplifier and your installation. The control panel security cover is pre-installed at the factory and must be temporarily removed for access the amplifier's controls. The security cover is secured by a single 2.5mm hex-head screw. Simplified Gain Setting: The amplifier's R.I.P.S. feature also allows for easy gain setup. Because the amplifier will always deliver the same amount of power within its operational range of impedances and supply voltages, the maximum, unclipped output is very predictable. This makes setting the gain level of the amplifier via the input sensitivity control very simple. All you need is Digital AC Voltmeter (142TK12V, sold separately) and a Test CD Disc (503CD104, sold separately) with a sine-wave test-tone recorded at 0 dB reference level in the frequency range to be amplified for that set of channels (50 Hz for subwoofer channels, 1 kHz for a midrange application). Flexible Input Section And Active Crossover Network: The JL Audio HD amplifier provides a flexible input section and a comprehensive crossover network to fine tune your system effectively and accurately. The variable filter design employed in the JL Audio HD amplifier crossover sections allow you to seamlessly switch slopes, easily change filter frequencies and address what frequencies the preamp outputs will pass. The HD600/4 offers the following independent crossover adjustments for the front and rear channels along the unit's front panel, behind a removal cover plate. Input Mode: This switch allows operation of all four amplifier channels with only one pair of input signals (2-CH Input Mode) or with independent front and rear input signal pairs (4-CH Input Mode). You will only need to connect the front RCA inputs when placing the amplifier in 2-CH input mode. Filter Mode: The amplifier features a Full-Range, variable Low-Pass or variable High-Pass filter mode for the amplifier's preamp input section. Switchable Slope on all filters:12dB/octave Butterworth or 24dB/octave Linkwitz-Riley alignments allowing for more precise integration of subwoofer and speaker channels. Variable Frequency: Fully-variable frequency selection from 50-500 Hz for high-pass or low-pass crossovers. Connections Power/Ground/Turn-On Plug: The amplifier features a Power/Ground/Turn-On plug which detaches from the amplifier to make connecting your power, ground, and remote turn-on lead wires more convenient. Once your connections are made the Power/Ground/Turn-On connector simply plugs into the amplifier. Power and Ground: The JL Audio amplifier's set-screw Power and Ground connections found on the detachable Power/Ground/Turn-on plug are designed to accept 8 to 4 AWG power wire. A 4mm hex-wrench is supplied for making connections. Remote Turn-On: The JL Audio HD amplifier's set-screw turn-on lead found on the Power/Ground/Turn-on plug will accept 18 to 8 AWG wire. A 2.5mm hex-wrench is supplied for making connection. Note: The Amplifier is not equipped with a fuse. An external 50-amp AFS, AGU, or MAXI fuse (not included) must be installed on the power wire. If a wiring kit is used which includes a fuse with a value other than 50-amps, the original should be replaced with a 50-amp fuse Speaker Output Plugs: The amplifier features two Speaker Output plugs which detach from the amplifier for easier speaker wire connection. Once your speaker wires are connected to these plugs, they simply push into the amplifier. Each Speaker Output plug features four set-screw terminals. The HD600/4 amplifier's eight set-screw speaker terminals found on the Speaker Output plugs will accept 16 to 8 AWG speaker wire. A 2.0mm hex-wrench is supplied for making connections. Preamp Inputs: The amplifier features two sets of differential-balanced RCA jack inputs. The amplifier features a dedicated Input Sensitivity gain control for the front and rear channels of the amplifier. These controls are designed to match the input sensitivity of the HD600/4 to the specific signal source that is feeding it. The amplifier's input level can be set independently for the front and rear channels to Low (200mV-2V RMS) when connecting the amplifier to a low-level preamp signal or set to High (800mV-8V RMS) when connecting the amplifier to a high-level speaker signal. Preamp Outputs: The HD600/4 incorporates a pass-through preamp output sections, so that additional amplifiers can easily be connected to the same signal(s) feeding the HD600/4. These preamp output signals are buffered to prevent noise and are always preamp level, regardless of the level of signals feeding the HD600/4's inputs. The amplifier's set of preamp outputs can be configured two different ways. Front: The preamp output delivers the same signals that is connected to the HD600/4's front RCA inputs. This mode is useful for feeding a subwoofer amplifier when the HD600/4 is being used to drive front and rear speaker system. In this mode, the preamp output level will track with the signal level of the front input signals, allowing you to fade the rear channels in and out, without affecting the subwoofer level. F+R: This mode delivers a sum of the signals being fed to the front and rear RCA inputs of the amplifier. When the HD600/4 is being used to drive front and rear speaker systems, this preamp output mode will deliver a summed front/rear signal to the subwoofer amplifier, while permitting fading of the front and rear speaker system fro the source unit. Remote Level Control: The amplifier features a standard telephone connector for adding an optional wired remote level control. With the addition of the optional wired Remote Level Control (136HDRLC, sold separately), you can control the volume of one or both channel pairs of the HD600/4 form the front of your vehicle. This is useful for subwoofer level control or even as a master volume control for your system. If desired, multiple HD amplifiers can be controlled from a single HD-RLC controller using a simple phone line splitter and multiple phone cables (all sold separately). Note: All inputs and outputs are located on the rear side of the amplifier to make installation of the amplifier simple and neat.

My only advice is, if you going to spend this much money on this amp ,don't go cheap with the speakers ,it would a crime to use this amp with the factory speakers or coaxials for that matter. 15 out of 18 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Amazing Product Written By Alan, Fort Lauderdale, FL on Friday, March 27, 2009 I've been a car stereo enthusiast for 3 decades, whether installing the equipment myself or getting lazy (lately) and having others doing it for me. When the salesman told me that the HD600 would have more than enough power to drive my set of 3-way components and a JL 12w3 Sub (in a Stealthbox), I was quite sceptical. Still, I thought why not try. I am amazed that this little Class D amp drives my entire system with ease. It only gets warm to the touch, is quiet and clear, and will allow my system to get as loud as my ears can handle (and body can shake due to the awesome 12w3 Sub). If you have not experienced JL equipment, you really need to. It's in a league of its own. 15 out of 15 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Pure sweetness.... Written By HarrisonZ, Jacksonville, Fl. on Tuesday, November 18, 2008 I bought this to replace 2 amps. I have speaker system up front with a 8" in the door, 3" Mid in the kick, and 1.1" in the dash and had a 5 channel Alpine MRV-F450 running bridged to 2 channel at 120watts pushing them before. Had a FD2200 amp pushing my JL Audio VR-650CXi's in the rear doors. Now that I have the JL HD600 in there, the system sounds so much better. The 8" in the front doors slam, the whole system is crystal after a few adjustments on the Fosgate 360.2 processor. My question to the people who are having noise issues.... did you use a volt meter to set the "Input Sensitivity"? I have no issues and no complaints. I am waiting for my HD750 to get here in 2 days for my 12W7 and I'll be a happy camper. In the 17 years I've had systems, I can honestly say that this is the BEST amp I have EVER owned, and I have had way too many to count. Small, compact, clean, and powerful. Fantastic buy everyone. You'll be happy. 12 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 awesome amp Written By Michael, tampa, FL on Thursday, November 13, 2008 i hooked this amp up to the stock head unit in my 08 honda accord coupe with NAVI. I didnt use any processors like the cleansweep. There is absolutely no noise, no turn on pop, the sound is loud, clear, and smooth. I am running a set of JL C5 splits off the front channels and a JL sub off the rear channels bridged. The clarity and volume out of such a small amp is unbelievable. I had an old RF BD1000 running my sub before this and the 300 watts from this amp are almost as loud, but much more musical than the 1000 watts from the BD1000. I couldnt be happier with this amp. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Small, runs cool, loud as you will ever need, and plays so wonderful. I replaced a pair of 300/2 amp with this and I have to say this amp sounds better than the other two. Clearer, cleaner, and way smaller. Worth every penny. 7 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Awesome amp Written By Bruce, Canton, Ohio on Wednesday, September 03, 2008 I purchased this amp to replace my Alpine PDX 4.150 which was too noisy. This amp is incredible. I have no noise as stated in previous review, and the sound quality is better than the Alpine PDX by far and on par with my JL slash 4x75 amp. I am powering 2 sets of Boston 6.5"s and 1 12 inch woofer. If you want to save space and want top quality sound, this is your amp. I would rate it on par with my last set that were running my components. 11 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good power a little noisy Written By kenny, Italy on Sunday, July 27, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this this amp to power my Boston Acoustics Pro50 components and one JL 12w3 Sub. I was immediatly impressed by the amount of power for such a small amp, I couldn't believe it! I don't have any complaints with the clarity of the amp but then again I didn't have another amp to compare it to. However, the compliant I do have is the noise in the signal. It seems to be a bit loud even though its rated at 109db then again it might be my patch cables too, not sure but I'll try a different pair. Overall, I'm very happy with performance of the 600HD. 11 out of 16 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Price does not justify performance. Written By NO KA OI, Maui,HI. on Sunday, July 13, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Was very excited to try amp out for my 2 sets of Infinity Kappa 6.1 Perfects.I must say I was impressed by the size and power.you can really feel the power but the clarity just wasn't there.It left me scratching my head,but I was not worried because Crutchfield has an excellent return policy.So I put my JL 450/4 back in and that alone sounded great like always.So in my conclusion for the money and clarity it did not sound cleaner than the JL 450/4 and justify me spending another $800.00 for my system.And a big thumbs up for Crutchfield,excellent service and fast shipping. 43 out of 54 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Not certain, but they appear to be True-Arc+ cams, which were produced in 2005, I think. I have heard a few references to a Martin Tom Cat, but have nevere seen it listed as a production model. I know it's not in their 2005 Catalog. Possibly it was a rebranded model made for Dick's Sporting Goods.

That's a nice bow.
I believe the Tom Cat was made for Gander Mountain Outdoors in 2004-05 and was not in the Martin line up and or catalog. Not sure on the Cams, would believe bfish as no info/specs on that model.

Using imagery and specific life situations including his parents' divorce as a child, being a victim of bullying, drug and alcohol use as a teenager and young adult, and the death of his mother, father and brother, Mero told The Daily Tribune News following the presentation he wanted to reach students through relatable experiences, not just statistics. For example, he presented a "Death List," featuring the names of numerous friends, including professional wrestlers, who met premature deaths due to the use of drugs and alcohol or poor decision-making.
"We become what we surround ourselves with," Mero told the crowd, referring to friends as well as substances. "... When people say alcohol doesn't lead to other drugs, they're wrong."
Through his presentation, which included skits, dancing film and photos, Mero also addressed a topic that has received national attention over the last several years: peer bullying and consequences such as self-harm and suicide. To emphasize the reach of such acts, Mero played a video that showed photos of teenage suicide victims and testimonials from relatives.
"So many times you as young people try and take on the world by yourselves ... [and you become] like a volcano," Mero said.
Sophomore Brandon Hams said the presentation was powerful and struck an emotional chord.
"His family story about how he lost all these people around the same time, that made me really emotional. It was just a really strong story," Hams said.
He also said the aspects of Mero's presentation regarding teen suicides stemming from bullying was an eye-opening experience.
"[The presentation] just opened a lot stuff, considering the way you talk to people can really affect them," Hams said. "[For the teens in the presentation], getting bullied really caused them to commit suicide, so that really makes you think about the way you treat people."
Mero said one of the motivating factors in continuing his mission to reach students is the amount of letters he receives from students following his presentations.
"I get a lot of letters that just say, 'My parents don't care, I do this and I do that and they don't care,' and kids actually want boundaries ..., it's just when they're free they do things and they get involved with things like cutting and burning; we're seeing kids who are hopeless," Mero told DTN. "I am screaming from the rafters we are losing our next generation, kids are going through isolation, loneliness, depression ..., suicidal thoughts."
He continued, "When I was in school you kind of knew who the school bully was and you stayed away from that guy, but today you can wake up in the morning and go get on ... whatever social media account you have and read how ugly and stupid and worthless you are, imagine starting your school day like that; ... that's when kids start feeling hopeless and they start believing the lies about them and then they go to negative behavior." Mero said.
Principal Steven Butler said it was important to have speakers like Mero not only to reach out to students, but faculty as well.
"... One of the things that comes with the pressure we have in schools now with curriculums and test scores and all those types of things, it's sometimes easy to push away the caring aspect of dealing with kids because during class, you're hitting the content of your curriculum in order to meet testing goals and those types of things," Butler said. "Sometimes you have to stop and take time because before we're students, before we're athletes, before we're anything we're people and we have to take care of each other as people first."
Mero came to Bartow County through the help of local businesses as well as Lake Point Church. He will be speaking today at Emerson Elementary School and South Central Middle School. He will speak at Woodland High School Friday as well as on Sunday morning at the school's Performing Arts Center, which will serve as the site for Lake Point Church. The Sunday service and presentation, which Mero said will include his personal testimony, will begin at 11 a.m.

Got into the hotel around 1 am, so it was technically 1/27/13. Stood in line behind 2 other parties and got the next available clerk who was a SE Asian woman in her mid-20s. She was not overly friendly. Handed sandwich and asked if there was any possibility of a complimentary upgrade to a suite. She never really responded to that question and took all the cards and the $20 and placed them all at the top of her keyboard. She double checked our room reservation on her computer and re-confirmed that we were booked for a standard Park Ave room. She asked what bed type we wanted and if we wanted smoking or non. We told her we wanted a King non-smoking room. She replied, unfortunately, we do not have any Park Ave rooms that are King non-smoking, so I can upgrade you to the Madison Ave street view. I was a little disappointed because it sounded like we would have gotten the upgrade anyway w/o the $20. The room itself was on the 19th floor, relatively low, and facing the roller coaster so we could hear people screaming. The room was dingy and tired, the carpet had seen better days and I never went barefoot in the room. The toilet had a weird black stain in the bottom - looked like a fat permanent marker - and the shower was like being under a watering can. Overall, I was disappointed. We had better luck when we left NYNY and checked into Mirage 2 nights later and got a fantastic room I was really happy with.
Checking in to NY-NY around 3:30pm. After standing in line for about 20 minutes, I was ready to try the $20 tip trick. I handed the clerk the sandwich with $20 easily visible and asked if there was an upgrade available to a Spa or Marquis Suite. She typed for a few seconds and said the Spa Suite was $25 per night and the Marquis Suite was not ready yet.
I told her to forget it and she continued to check me in flipping the $20 with the cards but not touching it with her hands. She finished and handed me back my cards and money the same as I gave it to her.
Flight arrived about 6:30 from Omaha, there was no wait in line. Handed the young clerk the sandwich. She smiled sheepishly and looked kind of shocked. Asked if the hotel was offering any complimentary room upgrades since my husband and I were celebrating our anniversary. She said she'd see what she could do. Upgraded us from a standard room to a Madison AVenue room with a very nice view of the mountains. Handed the $20 back to me and said it was complimentary and to have a nice anniversary! Score! :)
Got to nyny at around 3:00 on a Thursday. There were 4 women working check out two older two younger. I got a younger gal which I was glad. Walked up put sandwich on desk and asked are there any complimentary upgrades available for my stay. She said let me see what I can do. Presto she upgraded us and gave us a corner strip facing room. I thanked here left the 20 on the counter said that is for you and she thanked me. I will definitely try this again.
Flight landed at 8:30 AM so went to check in early and was greeted by Monica. She was great and very nice. I told her that my wife and I were there to celebrate our first anniversary and I was looking for an upgrade to a suite and slipped her the $20 between my license and credit card. She noticed it and set it on the desk while she worked to look for upgrades. She told me that suites would only be available for an additional fee/day, but that she could offer me a complimentary upgrade to a Madison Avenue room, so I took it. She then returned the $20 because the upgrade was complimentary. She was very nice. Maybe $50 may have been a better play.
We checked in on Sat. around 1:30 pm on Labor Day weekend so we weren't really expecting to get an upgrade on a holiday weekend. There was a pretty good line but it went fast and we were lucky to get a young guy. I handed him the "sandwich" and he said "Oh, is this for me?", I said yes and asked him if there were any complimentary room upgrades available. He said that he could upgrade me to the next level room with a strip view also. I thanked him and off we went to enjoy our vacation thanks to frontdesktip.com!!
Couldn't target the young guy I wanted to talk to, got a 40-something woman from the Philippines.
I gave her my friend's ID cause the room was in his name, then I gave her my sandwich w/ my ID & CC, saying I wanted to put the resort fee on my card.
When I handed the sandwich, I asked if there were any complimentary room upgrades available, and she said no first without looking at the computer. she said that all the spa suites were booked because of the Lady Gaga and Rush concerts that weekend. She checked on the computer, too. I even leaned over the counter and nudged my CC so that the $20 was more visible. She just ran all the info and then handed back the cards & $20 without ever acknowledging the money. Totally ignored it. FAIL
Checked in about 4pm on Saturday, there was a very short line, maybe 2 people in front of us. I didn't target a clerk, just figured it was worth trying with anyone. Handed the sandwich to a female clerk in her early 40's. She moved the license and the bill fell out in front of her. She said in a surprised voice "oh, is that for me?" I said yes and asked for an upgrade, she checked the computer and offered a spa suite if we were ok with a smoking room. Well worth the $20 and made up for the crummy weather this weekend since we could more or less hit the pool in our room.
We targeted a younger woman at around 4pm and gave her the sandwich. At first she was confused. I explained I was interested in comped upgrades and we ended up with a booklet good for some free drinks, free morning paper and a upgrade to the next level room with a strip view.
Got in after midnight. Only 3 people ahead of us and the line went quick. Gave the clerk my credit card and drivers license, but had the money in my hand. My wife asked if there were any available upgrades. I added, free upgrades. He checked and said he had one, but it was a smoking room. We took it and luckily it didn't smell bad at all. He even threw in a bunch of free drink coupons. At the end of the transaction, I thanked him with the $40. Was my first time asking and it worked beautifully!
Checked in late 11 pm - waited in line 90 minutes - only one clerk having a bad night - asked for complimentary upgrade none available - used the 50 trick - just looked at me and said no upgrades available - will not be staying at NYNY again - won't even gamble here - had better luck at TI last trip
Flight arrived late - after 11 PM - though this would be good for an upgrade - stood in line for over an hour only two clerks working the check-in line - approached available clerk - presented the sandwich with a $50 for upgrade - asked if any were available - told nothing was available - saw the 50 - looked at me upset - said she could place me in a smoking room - passed - room we received had a great view of the backside of the same hotel - service from front desk on was poor - did not even gamble here - will stay at TI next trip
Handed the sandwich over. Clerk immediately pushed the twenty back and said thanks. Asked for any available upgrades, he said they were available, but I would have to pay. He made me feel like I farted in church. I'm not doing this again here.
I gave the $20 between my CC and DL and asked for the complimentry upgrade. The lady slipped back the $20 and told me there was nothing available (it was a Friday at 1200). My room was on the 30th floor looking out at the MGM. I was very satisfied with the view. I am not sure if this was an upgrade, but I was happy with what I got.
I slipped a fifty between the cards. She immediately agreed to upgrade and slid the fifty back with a smile. Because of the bad economy now is a perfect time to visit Las Vegas if you can. There are no crowds at all and the hotels have fantastic deals. I have already booked another trip for March.
Slipped $20 in the passport and since I stayed once before, I was able to make conversation saying how different it was while being checked in, and being very polite. I simply asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available, and she typed away, and got upgraded to a nice view of the Strip and got the $20 back as well!
checked in sunday @ 3pm. quite a few people in line.
slipped a $20 on my photopage of my passport. reservation was booked via travelocity sale @ ~25$/night (83 inc tax for 3 nights), so no need for credit card. told i could upgrade to broadway suite for $20/night or spa suite for $55. no complimentary upgrades avail.
ignored the 20 and handed it with my passport back to me.
clerk looked v official, placed passport and $20 asked for upgrade to higher floor and strip view.Said strip view would be $7.50 a night but could get us a higher floor. declined $7.50 a night as staying a long time after checking in clerk curious why $20 on top asked did i want change. embarressed left got room already booked.
We checked in around 8:30pm and there was a longish line. The woman checking us in was pretty young but very serious, all business, so I had a bad feeling about our odds of success. When she asked for id I placed the credit card, id, and $20 bill all on the counter together. She didn't bat an eye at the $20. At some point I told her it was my friend's first time in Las Vegas (which was true), and I asked if there might be any room upgrades available to make the experience more memorable. She immediately said the hotel was full, so all she could do was upgrade us from the lowest room (skyline) to one class higher (park avenue). However we had booked with an internet promotion on their website that was already supposed to get us the park avenue room, so this was not actually an upgrade. I took the $20 back. The eventual room was not that high and had a nice view of the construction next door. Oh well.
Asked about a complimentary upgrade. Clerk said that they were sold out and there were no upgrades available and returned the money.
He actually asked me if the money was for the complimentary upgrade and seemed surprised. He also worked a little extra time to find us a king, non smoking room even though he initially thought there weren't any available.
