Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by John Pollard Do you want to add some bass to your ride without losing storage space? Take a look at the Kicker PT8 powered subwoofer — its heavy-duty enclosure is slim enough to fit in many locations and powerful enough to help fill in the low end of your sound system. A perfect match It can be tough matching subs, amps, and enclosures together. Kicker's taken the guesswork out of the process by matching a 90-watt RMS amplifier with an 8" subwoofer, and housing them together in a rugged, compact box. This way, you won't have to waste time juggling specs — just focus on enjoying your bass. Out in a jiffy A quick-connect power harness and removable straps make it easy to pull this sub out of your vehicle, so you can get some storage space back in a pinch. The enclosure is only 6-3/8" deep so it'll fit in a variety of spaces, while the carpet covering will protect the enclosure and your vehicle against scratches and dents.

To produce bass, you need a sub, an enclosure, and an amplifier, and it can be little tricky to match them all up. A powered sub eliminates all the hassle, as the manufacturer designs the enclosure to house the sub and amp together. This all-in-one solution is especially useful in smaller vehicles, where there's no room to mount a separate amp, or in any vehicle where you need every bit of cargo space. Powered subs range from small, flat boxes that fit under your seat to larger boxes that go in your trunk.

Fantastic little subwoofef Written By Anonymous, Winnipeg, Manitoba on Thursday, March 06, 2014 This thing is awesome have it in my 2 door hatchback CRZ. I have all the speakers upgraded JL audios C2 etc etc . Amped up and this sub can keep up with the output and does not distort unless I really crank the gain. All in all impressed. It does not however get those really really low notes that are held for extended periods of time. Regardless still an awesome product. Pros: Small Loud Well rounded sound Cons: No real low notes Was this review helpful? Yes No rocking out Written By jordan, Columbus, OH on Monday, August 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love it. I put it in my 2002 jeep grand Cherokee. Pros: Nice size Cons: It was a little hard to install, but it was my first time, so it could have been worse. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Speaker to add base to Jeep Written By Rich, LA on Wednesday, August 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was looking for compact Subwoofer to add bass to my vehicle, and this did the trick. The install was easy, but I have been doing this for a long time. This Speaker Amp combo works great to give your vehicle fill bass and complete the music experience for you. What is speaker will not do is shake your vehciel or wake up your neighbors. Since is real compact you dont loose a lot of truck space for it. if you are looking for and Sub to fill the missing bass in you car and want compact size this is the way to go. Pros: Compact Cons: Wiring Harness. Wires could be longer (inout lines, Ground, remote) Power line was long enough 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Vary Impressed!!! Written By Terry, Washington State on Monday, July 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I needed something small...I have a 96 rav4 2 door....anyway mounted it to the rear door and wired in to sys.. up graded from stock deck to a Kenwood w/HD.....Awsum sound in my little car!!!!!! Pros: all good Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes No Best Option for Jeep Wrangler Trunk Written By Josh, Vail, AZ on Monday, June 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) If you are looking for a powered subwoofer for a Jeep Wrangler trunk (small), this is the one you want. The unit is compact, fits perfectly (leaving a small amount of area for storage in the trunk), and adds a lot of bass without becoming obnoxious. Pros: Good bass Compact Fits Jeep Wrangler trunk perfectly Cons: None 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Kicker 11PT8 Written By Brent, Murphy, NC on Friday, September 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This sub is perfect for an extra cab Ranger, removed the jump-seat and built a bracket to solid mount the Kicker. Plenty of base, and barely have it turned up, the remote is also nice, depending on the music. Pros: Perfect size for my application (2005 extra cag Ranger) great sound quality paired with factory radio with upgraded speakers Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No 2012 Chevy Silverado Crewcab Written By SteveP, Sanford, NC on Tuesday, September 25, 2012 I have the factory stereo (not Bose) in my truck and have been pretty pleased with the sound quality. BUT, it really lacks bottom end when when I increase volume. I wanted to add bass without spending a ton of money or using a bunch of the cargo space that I bought the truck for in the first place. The common sense solution seemed to be a powered sub. However, I had my doubts about sound quality. While working in VA, I decided to drive the 90 miles over to Charlottesville and check out the retail store. Jason S. was extremely patient and helpful in making a decision. Of course, this is no surprise to any regular Crutchfield customer. The Kicked 11PT8 turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. Fits perfectly under my rear seat and I can either stand it up or simply unplug and remove it if I need the cargo space. Its a great compliment to my factory unit and really easy to install. If you're smart about routing the wiring, you'll have plenty (I had more than I needed on all wires). It sounds great and can be adjusted with the wired remote. If you're into hiphop and want to rattle the change in other peoples cars, this is NOT what you want. But if you want to fill your own space with great sound, you wont regret buying this sub. Pros: Great price, simple to install and great sound. Add in Crutchfield's customer service and its a no brainer. Cons: Haven't found one yet. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Product! Written By Nat D., Hattiesburg, MS on Sunday, April 29, 2012 Fits perfect in my '02 Nissan crew cab. Would recommend to others! Pros: Sounds great, easy to install. Cons: Wiring for power and sub not long enough for most cars. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No great value/sound Written By Brad A, Cincinnati on Wednesday, April 11, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Unit was pretty simple to install. Only gripe is that it should have come with master sheet since it has speaker level input option and I had to extend several leads on the factory harness. Has about the right amount of bass you would expect. This unit fits flat under the back seat of my '10 Tundra double cab. This sub has a hi/low input option so you can connect it speaker level on a factory radio or line level on an after market unit with preamp outputs. You do not need a line level converter. Pros: Price, sound quality, compact size Cons: Length of some leads on harness Was this review helpful? Yes No Perfect Written By kevs jeep, Montgomery, al on Sunday, April 01, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have a jeep wrangler, and with the top down and large tires, the road noise is LOUD! The little 4" speakers were bottoming out because i had to turn them up too much. With limited space and not wanting to have too much money invested (its easy to break into a jeep) This speaker/amp is awesome. I took the bass out of the small speakers and use them for highs and mids only. All the bass comes out from this speaker and it sounds great!! Even at 70 mph them system sounds great! Note: dont forget to buy the RCA converter! Pros: Size, power, sound, price, everything Cons: ZERO! 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Perfect amount of thump Written By Sookie, Plano Texas on Saturday, November 19, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have a 04 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab with limited space to add a sub. The Kicker fits perfectly behind the rear seat and adds just the right amount of bass and thump to round off my stereo.

Signal Input: The signal input wires on the included harness can be used with a speaker level or line level signal. Standard speaker wire is used in the harness, so an RCA to speaker wire adapter is needed when using a line level signal (item number 20609ZISL, sold separately). Low Pass Crossover: The amplifier's low pass crossover point is continuously variable from 50 to 120 Hz; the crossover slope is 12 dB per octave. Subsonic Filter: In addition to the low pass crossover, the PT8 features a 24 dB/octave subsonic filter fixed at 25 Hz. Ultra-low frequencies that cannot be reproduced by a subwoofer do not become sound, but unnecessary oscillations that cause distortion. These frequencies also waste amplifier power and can damage the speaker. The built-in subsonic filter removes the frequencies below 25 Hz to improve the sound quality by eliminating harmful distortion. Bass Boost: The bass boost circuit provides a variable (0-6 dB) signal boost centered at 40 Hz. Status Indicator Light: There is a status indicator LED on the control panel on the left side of the enclosure; it lights green to indicate that the amplifier is turned on and operating normally and lights Red to indicate the amplifier's protection circuitry has been activated. Remote Bass Level Control: The included remote bass level control lets you adjust the output level of the amplifier from anywhere in the vehicle. A 20' cable is included and when it's plugged in, the gain control on the side of the enclosure is bypassed. The remote bass level control can be mounted under the dash with the included mounting hardware, it has the following dimensions: Width: 2.215" Height: 1.193" Depth: 1.718" (3.076" including the knob and cable) Controls: All the PT8's controls and connections are located on the left side: Auto Turn-On: two position switch; choose +12V (amp turns on when +12 volts is applied to the remote turn-on wire) or DC Offset (amp turns on when a 6 volt surge is detected from a speaker-level source on the signal inputs; in this mode the amp's remote turn-on wire acts as a +12 volt output to turn on another component) Input Level: two position switch; choose Hi when using a speaker level input, Lo when using a line level input Phase: two position switch, the sub's phase can be easily inverted; 0° or 180° Gain: rotary knob; continuously variable from 125mV to 5V when the Input Level switch is set to Lo, 250mV-10V when the Input Level switch is set to Hi X-Over Frequency: rotary knob; set the low pass x-over point; continuously variable from 50 Hz to 120 Hz Bass Boost: rotary knob; continuously variable from 0 to +6 dB Connections: Remote Bass: 3.5mm mini-jack for use with the included remote bass level control Fuse: a single 7.5 amp ATO style fuse protects the amplifier Wiring Input: Molex plug for use with the included power/ground/remote turn-on/signal input harness; the wire length varies by function: Ground: 18" Signal Input: 16' Power: 19' Remote Turn-on: 20' Our Product Research Team At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.

Ratt's Warren DeMartini on Their New Record Deal and Having Carlos Cavazo in the Band
Along with Mötley Crüe and Poison, Ratt were known as the kings of the 1980s Sunset Strip scene. Formed in 1976 by San Diego vocalist Stephen Pearcy under the name Mickey Ratt, the band went through years of working the southern California club circuit. In 1982, the name of the group was shortened to Ratt and Pearcy surrounde

When the XNA Community Games service was announced at GDC 08 Microsoft was coy about its launch plans. Other than telling reporters the service would hit during the holiday 08 season, Microsoft sidestepped questions regarding its pricing structure (if any) and game specific release schedules. At E3 08 Microsoft could answer our questions by returning to XNA Community Games and reveal its future with the Xbox community.
As a well attended and known event, E3 is the perfect place to reveal plans for the service. As the fourth quarter approaches and XNA continues to evolve, E3 is your best bet for all information Communtiy Games.
Maybe Not
Considering Microsoft's history with announcing services only to sweep them under the rug when they hit a speedbump (sup, Live Anywhere?) it's possible the launch has been delayed and details will be slim. Could Community Games hit as an even wider open beta this holiday rather than a full fledged launch to make sure the service is ready across the Xbox 360, PC and Zune platforms? It's possible.
As PR ninjas attempt to keep Peter Molyneux's promises at bay, a lingering question about Fable 2 remains -- is the announced drop-in-drop-out co-op also available over Xbox Live? While Lionhead isn't talking, E3 would be the perfect time to tout the fan favorite feature.
Crackdown. Gears of War. Halo 3. Too Human. What do these Microsoft published titles have in common? All share co-op experiences over the Xbox Live service. As an important exclusive in the Xbox 360 library, Fable 2 has to include the feature. Gamers have come to expect it today as much as we expected quarters be placed onto cabinets back in the age of arcades.
Maybe Not
Fable. Nay, Lionhead. Nay, Peter Molyneux himself have been known to over promise and under deliver. While Fable 2 marketing is quick to deny Xbox Live rumors it is possible that the feature was simply too time consuming to meet the (expected) fall release schedule. Rather than promising and disappointing earlier, Lionhead could deny and disappoint later.
It feels like the media blackout of Alan Wake has clouded our minds. Was the gamer ever really announced? Did we dream it? As one of the most interesting exclusives under Microsoft's belt we'd expect some form of information to be showcased during the most important industry event.
What else can we say? Alan Wake has blockbuster potential written all over it. In a world where Resident Evil and Silent Hill still hold weight, Alan Wake could be the exclusive title (in a new genre) Microsoft needs. E3 or bust.
Maybe Not
Microsoft has all but ignored the existence of Alan Wake during previous industry events and, so far, all signs point to another skipped chance for the Remedy developed title. Microsoft isn't even mentioning Alan's name anymore, does that bode well for a new IP? Microsoft has promised the game is still in development in the past. Only time will tell.
Ever since the developer was acquired by Microsoft gamers have wondered what spectacular title would return Rare to its original form. Titles like Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo failed to capture the attention of the masses in the way that Goldeneye had but Rare has been known to play its cards close to the chest. While work is spinning on Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts we wonder what else Rare has up their sleeve -- and we hope it's an Ace.
Is Rare working on another title other than Banjo's return? Yes. Do we know what it is? No. Could it be Killer Instinct 3? Another Perfect Dark? A whole new IP? So many questions that Rare could answer. Showcasing a "hardcore" title could re-enforce support in the publisher that could translate to a better following behind Banjo, a following that titles like Viva Piñata seriously lacked.
Maybe Not
Why pimp the next hotness when the new hotness isn't even out yet? Banjo Kazooie and Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise might not be for all gamers but it's an interesting and beautiful title that Microsoft wouldn't want to take focus away from. While saving face with a fantastic reveal would be nice, it might not work in Microsoft's favor in the long run.
Meet you somewhere in the middle! With dropping manufacturing costs for consoles and accessories, Microsoft could find success in creating a middle road for gamers looking to dive deeper into downloadable content and movies who aren't willing to shell out the big bucks for an Elite or 120giger.
Based on what we've heard from industry rumblings, tipsters and listening to our own logic -- a 60GB HDD is a foregone conclusion. Removing the 20GB model, replacing it with a 60GB and substantially dropping the price of all version of the accessory is the closest the Xbox 360 will get to achieving world peace.
Maybe Not
Really? More peripherals to confuse the masses? We want to go there ... again?
With additional characters and a focus on a more dramatic story gamers are clamoring for the ability to experience Gears of War 2 with multiple friends. Already confirmed to be co-op online for two players, as it was in the original, Gears 2 is a game that not only begs for 4-player co-op, it pretty much demands it.
Bigger, better and more badass. It's been said so often about Gears of War 2 that it might as well be the sales pitch on the retail package. What's bigger and better than doubling up on co-op players taking full advantage of the team surrounding you as you battle the Locust horde? Gears 2 has been nothing but more. More enemies on screen, more characters to interact with, more weapons, more multiplayer players. Gears of War 2 will most certainly add more to the co-op experience.
Maybe Not
While the updated Unreal Engine 3 has promised additional on screen enemies, they have been shown and described as background set pieces to give off the allure of a larger scale battle. Could the two man squad be as much as the engine can stretch?
What is Halo Chronicles? Your guess is as good as ours. Initially touted as a new kind of game when Peter Jackson announced in at an E3 many moons ago, Halo Chronicles (as its been officially codenamed) has many potential storylines. It could be the rumored Master Chief-less Halo 4, an MMO or a tactical shooter staring the ODSTs. Whatever it is, E3 is the time to push it out and show Xbox 360 owners that the future is looking good.
Showcasing the future of the series since obtaining the rights during the amicable split from Bungie, Microsoft could ease worried fans that the franchise is dead in the water (quality wise that is) by revealing its future.
Maybe Not
Halo Wars. Gears of War 2. Too Human. Fable 2. Microsoft might not want to lose focus on these by shocking Xbox 360 owners with awesome sending their wallets into hibernation until Chronicles releases.
With an unfortunate stigma of negative press following it, Too Human still remains an anticipated title for the Xbox 360 this year. Hitting in August, Silicon Knights lead Dennis Dyack himself has stated the game will see a pre-release demo. Considering we're inching in on that release date, E3 is the highest profile time to either silence detractors or fuel their fire.
Silicon Knights needs to get Too Human into hardcore hands in demo form. While some are being accused of hating the game for the sake of hating it, the only way to prove their title is worthy is by showcasing it with a strong demo. E3 is the time.
Maybe Not
A month lead time might be too long for a demo to drop for a game that is already swirling in controversy.
Hitting the Xbox 360 as a timed exclusive this September, Rock Band 2 is one of the most anticipated titles at E3 08. Landing the music game as a timed-exclusive means Microsoft is going to want to show it off.
If you've got it flaunt it.
Maybe Not
If they were crazy. So, yeah ... it could go either way!
Rumorangs went flying after the recent Bungie ViDoc for the map 'Cold Storage' revealed an interesting message (Keep It Clean) and a suspicious icon. Add to the fact that the Bungie Day podcast hinted at a July 14 reveal and you've got our attention.
Little is actually known about the latest Bungie title. But according to hints we'll find out what the superintendent icon is all about.
Maybe Not
It's Bungie and now they're independent. They could pretty much do what they want now. Including not reveal a thing!
We've seen the fan mock-up. We've heard the 3D Dash rumors. That's all well and good but it's time to tell us why the Spring Update was put on hold.
Now is the time to reveal the future of the Xbox 360 Dashboard.
The newly appointed CXO (which we wish stood for Chief Xtreme Officer) could make a return at E3 08 from his Zune adventure.
Velocity Girl better not come up. Just saying.
There's a reason why we selected this as the FREE SPACE in the bingo ticket.
All signs point to it happening. Color us insanely surprised if it doesn't.
While its happened before the gimmick might be played out.
Based on the dramatic shift for Gears 2, we'd think (and hope) the designer formerly known as Cliffy B would holster the weapon and settle for a simple waltz in to amaze us with an on-stage demo.
Hold on. Before you make us bust out our flame suits, hear us out. We're not talking about Metal Gear Solid 4. We're talking Metal Gear Online. Currently exclusive to the PS3, MGO shows signs of a multi-format release. Allow us to explain.
Utilizing the Konami ID service, rather than the Sony PSN login ID, MGO suspiciously removes all dedication to the Sony brand (unlike MGS4 which is rife with Sony love). Konami has stated in the past that MGO and MSG4 are two different games and specifically has said that MGS4 is currently a PS3 exclusive. A standalone Metal Gear Online release for the Xbox 360 could work the same way Counter-Strike did on the original Xbox. As a focused multiplayer experience, Xbox 360 gamers could jump into the world of Metal Gear Solid without having to switch console allegiances. However, Konami could market the release of MGS4 to Xbox 360 owners in this way. By giving them a taste of the universe it's possible they could entice some gamers to head to the store, wallet in hand. While there are plenty of holes in our theory we do think that MGO is a strong possibility as an Xbox 360 release. Also, and dare we say it, MGO hitting the Xbox 360 probably wouldn't get under any PS3 fanboy skin. It's actually an even bigger Xbox 360 tease.
Maybe Not
Konami released Frogger 2 for the XBLA the same week as Metal Gear Solid 4. They might not have as much love for the console as we hope for.
You might as well 'X' this one right now.
Tipsters have been sending in internal retail memos and leaked flyers that all point to this one being legit.
Color us surprised if this doesn't happen before the conference.
Lips. Never has a videogame blog written the word so often. Finally we'll get to learn what the fuss is all about and answer the questions we all have. Our first question? Who codenames this stuff?
Rumored to be Xbox 360's answer to SingStar, Lips is expected to be a karaoke title developed by iNiS, the Japanese dev best known for its Elite Beat Agents and Ouendan Nintendo DS games. Showing off a library of songs and solid release schedule for both the game and content could overshadow SingStar (which has had a rocky launch Stateside.)
Who names this stuff?
From Ensemble Studios comes the first Xbox-released title in the Halo Universe not developed by Bungie.
The console RTS takes place before the Master Chief trilogy and is missing one simple thing.
A release date!
Expect news at E3 along with hands-on impressions.
What better way to silence detractors then to reveal an anticipated sequel is in the works.
We don't need a 10 minute on stage demo, a simple teaser trailer with a logo would suffice.
Could it help Silicon Knights save face and boost confidence for Too Human? We don't know. We're too busy dreaming. Hey, it's possible.
There are a handful of reasons the rumor that Microsoft will allow other companies to create Xbox 360 consoles could happen, but we can't wrap our head around why.
Microsoft could drop the challenge to other companies while they reap the benefits of software behemoths Gears of War and Halo.
Could it happen? I think Sega would be the first to say, "Never Say Never."
With Sony catching up with features some gamers are questioning if a paid service can survive. As Sony's service evolves the question remains, does the Xbox Live service need to go free to remain competitive?
As Sony attempts to catch up to the Xbox Live service Microsoft could squash their progress by announcing a new free model which would allow players to play games online. Then, as Sony still scrambles to regain their footing with their online features, Microsoft walks away with the online trophy ... err ... achievement.
Maybe Not
Something tells us Sony is going to have to get much closer for Microsoft to flinch. Also, money? Yeah. Microsoft (and every other company) likes it.
What better way to get our attention than to announce the premier XNA Community title, Dishwasher, was ready to release in its full XBLA form?
Seriously. The demo we got months ago was more polished than most recent XBLA releases!
Yeah. That's what we need.
Either do it or don't.
At this point we're all a little tired of the "Newton" rumor.
With rumors already swirling about what might be announced, we anticipate the possibilities that XBLA will bring at E3 08.
No maybe about it. Without fail Microsoft will showcase various XBLA releases via stylish montage. The only question is what wacky music will they play it to.
Castle Crashers
Release it already.

Top 5 Eco Vehicles From the Detroit Auto Show
The Detroit Auto Show kicked off this week with a slew of fantastic electric and hybrid vehicles ranging from the purely conceptual to the near production-ready. Electric vehicles were so prominently featured that they prompted the convention to open Electric Avenue, a 37,000-square-foot showcase where visitors could see and test-drive evs! Without further ado, check out this year's Top 5 from the Detroit Auto Show.
5. 2011 Honda CR-Z
Honda's CR-Z has looks reminiscent of the early-to-mid-90s CRX, but sports a full hybrid drivetrain. Slated to be released later this year, this small hatchback has only a modest 36 mpg in the city and 38 on the highway (numbers that can definitely be improved), but it is undoubtably a step in the right direction.
4. Fiat 500 BEV
The Fiat 500, that famed little Italian car, has finally made it state-side in full-electric form, thanks to Chrysler's EV technology. This car has no official release date but there is strong support for it here in the states and signs that Chrysler and Fiat are moving towards a greener future. Rumor also has it that this car is going to be fast. A speedy, small, cheap EV? What more could we ask for.
3. Volkswagen's New Compact Coupe Concept
Although the name might be a bit boring, this streamlined VW is the first to sport a full hybrid drivetrain. Under the hood sits a 1.4 Liter Inline 4 Cylinder Engine partnered with a 20 kWatt motor. Currently being considered for production, this car gets an estimated 45 mpg and will also feature an all-electric mode, although no specific range has been defined.
2. 2011 Ford Focus
Ford has designed what they call a World Car; which means the new Ford Focus will sell in the U.S., European and Japanese markets and will be based off exactly the same platform. Ford also confirmed that this car will be all-electric by 2011 and will support a 80-100 mile range, which means Ford will be the first company to produce an all-electric car for the entire world market.
1. Toyota FT-CH
Toyota, the current leader in hybrid technology, has released this beautiful FT-CH concept, which is a full hybrid and is being tauted as a cheaper, younger, and smaller version of the Prius. We can only hope this car is released in the near future, as Toyota's existing hybrid technology paired with a smaller, lighter vehicle heralds significant gains in MPG.

Diesel harmless? BS.
January 18, 2010 at 7:06 am
none of these are eco friendly. All of them use huge batteries which give off more emissions and polution in their making and disposal than an ordinary diesel car would give off in it's life time
January 17, 2010 at 6:34 pm
I just do not totaly understand. I owned a 1984 CRX HF with a 1.3 engine coupled to a 3 barrel carberator. It was a fun car to drive and it got 45mpg around town and 60, YES, 60mpg on the highway. This was nto estimated but actual milage I was getting. Now a friend of mine that works with fuel systems says that the new emmissions standards are the cause of this. It would be really great if someone would check into this and get an article into the car magazines explaining why this is happening. I really wish I had kept that CRX because there are very few left that have not been moded out with the larger V-Tek engines.
January 17, 2010 at 12:39 pm
Hopefully American consumers (albeit, only the rich ones at first) will actually break the ice and buy these cars. It seems likely to happen, seeing as how oil is above 80 dollars a barrel even at the trough of a disastrous recession. More green vehicles will also give the government a shot in the arm to roll out badly needed improvements to the power grid.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) leads the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) and partners with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to provide quality case management and prevention of malaria, strengthen surveillance, monitor control efforts and conduct operational research.
USAID announces $126 million to help rebuild health care systems in EVD-affected West African countries. The Monrovia Medical Unit (MMU) in Liberia plans to close on April 30. EVD response teams visit more than 29,000 households in Guinea's Forécariah Prefecture during pilot stay-at-home period. The week of April 6–12 reflects the lowest total number of prefectures and districts in EVD-affected countries to report a confirmed EVD case since the end of May 2014.
The Electoral Reform and Civic Advocacy (AERCA) project supports an Afghan-led electoral reform process that addresses inadequacies that were highlighted in past Afghan elections. The current electoral system does not yet allow for full representation of Afghan citizens and limits opportunity for the growth of effective political opposition. In response, AERCA engages with reform-minded civil society advocates to support improvements in the electoral system and facilitates public opinion research on electoral reform and democracy issues.
All contacts related to the last confirmed EVD case in Liberia graduate from observation. The Government of Guinea (GoG) launches its first stay-at-home campaign in Forécariah Prefecture. Seven of Sierra Leone's 14 districts have exceeded 42 days with no new confirmed EVD cases. Treatment capacity now surpasses demand as a result of declining EVD cases in Guinea and Sierra Leone.
The USAID Economic Stabilization Program (ESP) creates jobs and improves economic opportunities in Bajaur, Mohmand and South Waziristan Agencies of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). USAIDESP will develop farmers' and livestock holders' skills and resources to improve the quality and quantity of their produce.
The Municipal Services Program (MSP) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh seeks sustained improvement in municipal service delivery to better address basic needs and build the capacity of provincial governments to manage key municipal services such as the drinking water supply, sanitation systems (including drainage and sewerage), and the solid waste management (SWM) systems within three administrative divisions (Peshawar, Malakand and Dera Ismail Khan) of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and selected towns of Sindh.
USAID is partnering with the Government of Pakistan to rehabilitate the Mangla hydroelectric power station located in the Mirpur District of Azad Kashmir. The main objective of the project is to add 90 MW to the national grid through the refurbishment and upgradation of the power plant which will improve the reliability and availability of this power plant for the next 2025 years.
The Women's Hostel Project supports the construction of a new women's dormitory at Forman Christian College in Lahore. The new women's hostel provides 384 additional beds, thus permitting the university to accept more women students, especially at the graduate level.
The Agriculture Innovation Program helps USAID meets one of its goals in Pakistan of improving the economic lives of citizens by improving the business enabling environment and the economic performance of firms in the agricultural sector. The program enhances food security by improving the productivity of the agricultural sector through agricultural research and innovation.
SHAHAR will help fully realize the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan's vision for a nationwide municipal governance system that will support individual municipalities to develop standard policies and procedures, monitor municipal progress to improve performance, and provide technical assistance when progress lags.

ROUND 11 – Belgium, 25 August 2013
1st: Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull Renault) 1hr 23m 42.196 (av. race speed 220.817 km/h)
2nd: Fernando Alonso (Ferrari) gap: 16.869s
3rd: Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) gap: 27.734
Fastest Lap: Vettel 1:50.756 = 227.657 km/h on lap 40
Pole Position: Hamilton 2:01.012 = 208.362 km/h
With those two words Lewis Hamilton summed up Sebastian Vettel and his Red Bull Renault as the three place-getters gathered in the anteroom before heading out on to the Spa-Francorchamps podium. Though Hamilton's Mercedes was on pole, Vettel – perhaps boosted by the go-faster colour of his newly-dyed hair -- made a superb start from the front row, breezed past the Englishman on the opening lap of 44 and cruised to one of his most dominant victories with Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and Hamilton in his wake. This was the 31st victory of Vettel's career, putting him equql fourth on the all-time list with Nigel Mansell. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of that statistic is that Mansell had to wait until he was 32 for the very first of those 31 wins at Brands Hatch in 1985; Vettel's 31st comes while the German is still only 26. Next in his sights is the man who finished second on Sunday, Fernando Alonso, on 32, and ahead of them both is the 41-win legend named Ayrton Senna.
"He did the damage on the first lap," said Red Bull team principal Christian Horner of his German phenomenon, and Vettel was quick to agree. "It was a fantastic race for us," he said. "Once I passed Lewis we had incredible pace, we just had to control the race." Encouraged by his crew to look after his tyres from as early as the second lap, Vettel two-stopped his way to the finish on laps 15 and 31 and increased his lead in the Drivers' Championship to 46 – almost two full race wins – over Alonso, with Hamilton now another 12 points back in third place.
"We had to recover some places," shrugged Alonso when asked about his superb effort in coming through from ninth on the grid to second position. "Everything went OK from the start, the car had the speed to pass some other cars – it was a little boring once we got to second place because we knew we could not get close to Sebastian." Teammate Felipe Massa was seventh on a weekend that further increased paddock speculation about the Brazilian's tenure on his Maranello seat for next season.
Hamilton had started from his fifth pole of 2013 and his fourth in a row but he knew the writing was on the wall as Vettel blazed past him on the way up to Les Combes hairpin. "I got everything that I could out of the car today but we just weren't as quick as Sebastian and Fernando," Hamilton said. "I made a nice start and it felt like the exit out of turn one was good, too. But Seb just caught me on the run out of Eau Rouge and there wasn't really much I could do to defend: I moved once, like we are allowed to, but then I just had to watch him glide by. From that point, it was very difficult to hold on to him, and the same thing happened with Fernando, too, later in the race."
Fifth was Mark Webber in his farewell race at Spa – and sadly for the Australian it started in typical fashion when his Red Bull proved problematical at the start. With his clutch bite-point "all over the place" Webber was swamped on the opening lap and had to play catch-up all day. "Once the car was up and running it performed pretty well," he said. "But when you're stuck in traffic you end up taking more out of your tyres and I had other issues like gear ratios to contend with as well. I'd expected to run in clear air during the race and had set my top gear accordingly, which meant I didn't have the top speed to pass people."
Other talking-points
Kimi Raïkkönen lost ground in the Championship when his extraordinary run of race results came to an end with suspected brake failure after 25 laps. The Finn was putting a move on Massa at the Bus Stop chicane when the Lotus Renault suddenly shot straight on, wheeled back into pit lane and retired on the spot. Raïkkönen had gone a staggering 38 races without a retirement, the last 27 of them producing World Championship points, but he is now 63 adrift of Vettel as talk of a move to Red Bull or Ferrari continues to swirl around him.
For multiple Spa winners McLaren Mercedes it looked briefly as if Jenson Button might steal a first podium of 2013 when he and the team made a late call to try to one-stop, but the 2012 race-winner couldn't make his tyres last and came home sixth. "In terms of performance there's been a small but definite improvement, so we should be pleased with the progress we've made," Button said. "I'm pretty happy with the feel of the car now, in fact; okay, there's still room for improvement in terms of pace, but the good thing is that we know which areas we should be focusing on. So I'm looking forward to Monza – another great circuit – where hopefully we can take another small step."
Teammate Sergio Pérez was given a drive-through penalty for a muscular pass on Romain Grosjean after eight laps, the Mexican finishing one place outside the points, but McLaren had the consolation of moving up to fifth overall, four points ahead of Force India. They had Adrian Sutil in ninth place while Paul di Resta saw the back of his car wiped off in a Bus Stop blunder by Pastor Maldonado that also saw the Williams man given a stop-and-go penalty.
A last quick word for Marussia, who enjoyed a rare moment in the spotlight on Saturday when Jules Bianchi and Max Chilton stayed out on slicks in a damp Q3 and earned a place in Q2. Sadly they couldn't translate it into Sunday points, with Chilton also copping a drive-through for failing to observe blue flags.
Next race: round 12, Italy, September 08
The last European round of 2013 takes us to the last of the great traditional circuits at Monza. Catch our full preview right here…

2. Not more than one running board courtesy lamp on each side of the motor vehicle that emits a white or amber light without glare.
3. Not more than two backup lamps either separately or in combination with other lamps, but a backup lamp shall not be lighted when the motor vehicle is in forward motion.
A.R.S. § 28-947. Special restrictions on lamps
A. A person shall direct a lighted lamp or illuminating device on a motor vehicle, other than a head lamp, spot lamp, auxiliary lamp or flashing front direction signal, that projects a beam of light of an intensity greater than three hundred candlepower so that no part of the beam strikes the level of the roadway on which the vehicle stands at a distance of more than seventy-five feet from the vehicle.
(b) The lights are activated only in a parade, for an authorized assemblage of historic vehicles or for testing purposes.
C. Except as provided in subsection D or E of this section, flashing lights on motor vehicles are prohibited except either:
D. A vehicle may have lamps that may be used to warn the operators of other vehicles of the presence of a vehicular traffic hazard requiring the exercise of unusual care in approaching, overtaking or passing. The vehicle may display these lamps as a warning in addition to any other warning signals required by this article. The lamps used to display the warning to the front shall be mounted at the same level and as widely spaced laterally as practicable and shall display simultaneously flashing white or amber lights or any shade of color between white and amber. The lamps used to display the warning to the rear shall be mounted at the same level and as widely spaced laterally as practicable and shall show simultaneously flashing amber or red lights or any shade of color between amber and red. These warning lights shall be visible from a distance of at least one thousand five hundred feet under normal atmospheric conditions at night.
E. A person may equip a motorcycle with a means of modulating the intensity of a head lamp beam between the higher and lower brightness at a rate of two hundred to two hundred eighty cycles per minute. A person shall not modulate the head lamp beam during the hours of darkness as prescribed in section 28-922.
If the headlamp which you are planning on using violates any of the above, it is not allowed. Lamps are supposed to emit an amber or white color in order to make sure other drivers are not temporarily blinded by the lights. If you have questions about your lights specifications you can ask during inspection, or ask a mechanic for information regarding your exact lights.

Founded in 1999, Learning Matters has rapidly become one of the UK's leading independent higher education publishers, and joined SAGE in the summer of 2011.
We publish books and ebooks for professional and vocational courses studied at universities and colleges. Although our books are usually referred to as textbooks, we think of them as "learning books" – we work very hard to make sure each series and each title will help students learn the subject knowledge and skills appropriate to their course, as well as prepare for their subsequent professional career.
Our first titles were for students on teacher training courses and we now also publish in social work, nursing, policing, youth work, sport, counselling, public health, medicine and psychology.
Our approach to publishing is to understand the needs of our market, and to publish titles that clearly reflect those needs.
Our approach to business is to keep things simple, and always to aim to do things as well as we can.

"Love - love is not a luxury for this life - love is a necessity, if we hope to survive. If we cannot love, fear will win the day and we will turn on each other over things as small as getting our own way or as slight as the name we use for God. Love is what we were formed by, conceived with and created for. Love is what life, what God, is about and therefore a life fully lived has no room for fear. Love is one of the most profound human experiences. It is one of the noblest aspirations."
Reflections of "Love Come Down"
A sermon based on Philippians 1:3-11.
"Love - love is not a luxury for this life - love is a necessity, if we hope to survive. If we cannot love, fear will win the day and we will turn on each other over things as small as getting our own way or as slight as the name we use for God. Love is what we were formed by, conceived with and created for. Love is what life, what God, is about and therefore a life fully lived has no room for fear. Love is one of the most profound human experiences. It is one of the noblest aspirations."
ALL Means ALL
Luke 3:4-18
4as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, "The voice of one crying out in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 5Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth; 6and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'" 7John said to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8Bear fruits worthy of repentance. Do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our ancestor'; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham. 9Even now the ax is lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire." 10And the crowds asked him, "What then should we do?" 11In reply he said to them, "Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise." 12Even tax collectors came to be baptized, and they asked him, "Teacher, what should we do?" 13He said to them, "Collect no more than the amount prescribed for you."14Soldiers also asked him, "And we, what should we do?" He said to them, "Do not extort money from anyone by threats or false accusation, and be satisfied with your wages."
15As the people were filled with expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Messiah,16John answered all of them by saying, "I baptize you with water; but one who is more powerful than I is coming; I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire." 18So, with many other exhortations, he proclaimed the good news to the people.
ALL Means ALL
I'm not sure what big city it was. It was either Atlanta, San Antonio or Washington, D.C. Admittedly, in my early years of travels they were all just "big cities" to me – places that represented the unknown, places where I felt lost and overwhelmed – a concrete wilderness.
On this particular trip, I had stopped at an ice cream shop just off the city square. The square was encircled with a three-foot stonewall that seemed to hold up the grassy park that was littered with park benches, people and pigeons. Just off one edge of the park a street herald stood perched atop the wall on his stacked stone pulpit. He was dressed in clothes that were tattered and torn. They looked as if they had never been washed. His salt and pepper hair was long, matted and wild. His face bore the badges of a long and difficult life. He held a ragged Bible in his right hand and with his head cocked back he proclaimed to the rooftops, "The time is near. Are you ready for Jesus? Has the blood of Jesus saved you from the fires of hell?"
When I finish my mint-chocolate-chip waffle cone, I got up from the park bench from where I'd been watching him, and I intentionally walked past him. I kept watching him – a fact that did not escape his attention. "Son, do you know Jesus?" I paused for a moment and said, "Yes sir, but I think the Jesus I know and the Jesus you know…aren't the same Jesus." I said it with very little thought and I regret it to this day.
I cannot help but think of my experience with this modern-day John when I think about John the Prophet almost 2000 years ago - the one crying in the wilderness. Proclaiming the one yet to come – the one whose sandals John was not fit to untie – setting the foundation and way of Jesus. "The voice of one crying in the wilderness – Prepare the way of the Lord." Much like Jesus in the temple, in the saying of these scriptures, John fulfils them – he is a voice crying in the wilderness. He is laying the foundation, the path, the highway, in the wilderness. This imagery did not fall on deaf ears. Those listening knew of the highways the Roman Empire were cutting through the desert that sweltered with heat. They were straight-a-ways that cut through the hills and raised up the valleys, giving access to everyone – making the desert a doable thing for everyone.
Luke's use of Isaiah is foundational in establishing the remainder of his Luke-Acts tale. In the opening declaration of the one yet to come, Luke suggest the Jesus movement is going to be about removing the obstacles in this world, making the paths straight, giving access to every one – making the modern day deserts a doable thing for everyone.
Making modern day deserts a doable thing is a theme that one 20th century prophet carried into the heart of today's deserts. Dr. Martin Luther King was a voice crying in the deserts of racism and classism. "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.'" Make no mistake, Dr. King knew the significance of John words from Isaiah - "I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
He was a voice that cried out for the millions of voices that still cry out today. They are crying for a higher way – calling for a path that is not so unnecessarily cluttered with the mountains and the pitfalls of the powerful. They are crying out not only for help, but to help. How do we prepare the way for the Lord? How do we begin to usher in the Baseliea, God's new social order? Level the playing field – Dr. King saw it: "I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together." That's what happens when we level the playing field, ALL flesh will see the salvation of God. Not white flesh, not male flesh, not rich flesh, not intellectual flesh, not American flesh, not heterosexual flesh – flesh flesh – ALL flesh… not Christian flesh – flesh flesh – ALL flesh.
What then does this highway look like? What should we do? For John it was nothing less than social revolution. Verses 10 through 14 have no parallel in the Gospels. It is not from another source. It is unique. It is here for a very pointed reason. Resounding in it is the rhetorical refrain, "What should we do?" Among those who came to be baptized were at least three social groups each asking "what should we do?" and John speaks to each of them. The wealthy should share their wealth of food and closets of clothing with those in need. "The mountains and the hills will be made low and every valley shall be lifted up." The tax collectors are to stop their shifty ways. "The crooked will be made straight." And the solders are to stop taking physical advantage of their social position. The Mesopotamian mafia is to cease and desist. "The rough ways will be made smooth." It is nothing less than social revolution.
The danger here is allowing it to become about charity rather than social justice. John is not talking solely about the abuse of power, but about the source of power. It is not just about the people, it is about the system of domination. But the axe is at the root of the trees. The systems of domination bear the fruit of domination. The same strange fruit that white supremacists hung from the trees in the South - The same strange fruit that the Nazis baked in the ovens of Auschwitz – The same strange fruit that was diced and sliced with machetes in Rwanda - The same strange fruit that is left to rot to death in Africa because the cost of a cure may undercut someone's bottom line – The same strange fruit that is pounded to death daily with rocks and bombs in the Middle East - The same strange fruit that are depressed to death because of homophobic bullying. Trees that bear these fruits, systems that bear these fruits are to be cut down and thrown into the fires – they are the chaff that God wills to burn in an "unquenchable fire" - for in this new social order, they will bear fruit of domination no longer.
It is easy to see that in the United States, our entire social system has become an "economy." Profit is the highest social good. Consumerism is the fruit of our burdens. Consumerism is the only universally available means of participating in this society. The work ethic has been replaced by the consumer ethic – the temple with the skyscraper, the hero with the billionaire – the saint by the executive - and theology by a consumer ideology. This modern replacement can continue no more. Charity tries to fix up people so that the system will work better. Justice tries to fix up the system so that people will work better. The axe is at the root of the system. Claiming to be justified by your social position is not justifiable…for God can rise up socialites from stones.
Liberation theologian Gustavo Gutierrez says the domination system is so internalized that the focus is not where it should be. Charity focuses on helping the bourgeois discover the meaning of life while justice assists the dehumanized to recover their humanity. "The mountains and the hills will be made low and every valley shall be lifted up. The crooked will be made straight. The rough ways will be made smooth."
Much like Jesus in the temple, in the saying of these scriptures, we fulfill them – we are to be voices crying in the wilderness. We are to follow his example, maintaining domination-free relationships in a discipleship of equals that includes all flesh. We are to lord over no one…for God can raise up lords from stones. Look at the life of Jesus. Most scholars agree, Jesus himself rejected the titles people tried to give him. In the very next chapter of Luke the Devil itself insinuates Jesus' kingly title, "behave like a messiah: be like the great heroes of Israel." Jesus refused to take the title, for God can raise up great heroes of Israel from stones. We are reminded of a king who's thrown was a manger, who's wealth was a cross, who's crown was made of thorns. His very life confronts the economic inequities that are the basis of domination.
In that peasant society …poverty, taxation and brutality kept the poor in their place. Our modern day sensibilities dress those methods in the clothing of social programs that promise economic and social upward mobility. The problem is, that while individuals are able to rise up above their class, the system itself and the consumer ideology keeps them looking critically at the domination system out of which they operate. It is the system that needs to change not just the people, but the system is built to call your attention away from that undeniable fact. What is needed is an ax at the roots of the system of domination. Breaking with domination means ending the economic exploitation of the many by the few. John the Baptist set the tone "Lower the mountains; raise the valleys; make the crooked straight; who ever has, share; take the ax to an root of the problem."
A voice was crying in the wilderness and I did not hear it. I mean, I heard that crazy man whose voice was crying out across the sea of people who did not hear him, but I did not hear the voice of the One crying. Thankfully, someone else did. All I had for this modern day John was condemnation. As he looked down from his stone pulpit at me, I looked down my Presbyterian elitism at him – "I think the Jesus I know and the Jesus you know…aren't the same Jesus." My heart sank when just after I passed John an elderly man, who was following behind me, did not just walk on by. The man slowly sat down next to John and without saying a word placed his small paper sack between them. He then carefully slit the bag down two sides and pealed the opposing faces back until they lay flat across the stack stone pulpit that was now being transformed into an alter. With a slight nod of his head he invited John to take part in his sandwich and chips. As the rest of the world bustled by busily attending to their lives, the old man and
John ate a feast together on that earthly alter of stones.
Me? I began to realize there was nothing fulfilling about my ice cream indulgence. The real confectionary indulgence that day took place when those two men broke bread together. In that moment, the radical justice of God was realized here on earth in the midst of a concrete wilderness.
A voice crying out in the wilderness, remove the obstacles, live outside of the power structures, be a person of power with not power over – be with people where they are. We too must have a dream that one day even the great nation of the United State, a desert nation that sits on the mountains of superiority, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

Details are still not known, but word is beginning to trickle out that Penn State's board of trustees voted last night to remove the statue. Kim Jones of the NFL Network and WFAN radio in New York—a Penn State alumna—was first with the news:

Hamilton Pleased With ETSU's First Scrimmage
Friday, August 16, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Aug. 15, 2002) - East Tennessee State' football team had its first scrimmage since starting practice, and no one was happier than head coach Paul Hamilton. The Buccaneers, who struggled with their ground attack last season, concentrated on the running game in the first scrimmage. While ETSU's experienced defense held the upper hand for most of the action, the Bucs ground game showed some spark, with all of ETSU's backs showing some flashes. "I think we had a lot of enthusiasm out there tonight," said Hamilton. "Our defense is ahead of our offense at this point, but we had a strong defense to begin with. I did see some positive things with our offense. We have some running backs that run the ball very, very hard. We came out tonight, learned some things and got better. "I am really proud of the way our team came back this season in terms of conditioning. Our kids were very committed this summer; they were up here working together and it was obvious to me as we started practice that they were prepared to go out and work in this heat. This football team has made a deep commitment to be successful. I just hope and pray that we stay healthy, we keep working and I think some good things can happen for us. "It certainly takes awhile to get your offense going in practice. I have not locked the defense down as far as certain looks or tell them not to blitz. We saw a lot of things coming at us offensively tonight. Our defensive people can run, we've got some guys that can really chase the football. The thing I was pleased about tonight offensively was that we had some productive drives and with a little more practice time we will have a chance to finish those drives off and get them in the end zone.

Didn't see this anywhere yet... It only took one year to get rid of him..
CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports that the Jets' firing of offensive coordinator Tony Sparano is "imminent."
Sparano has been fileted on ESPN and elsewhere for the offense he fielded in 2012, which saw Mark Sanchez take yet another step back in his career. Per La Canfora, GM Mike Tannenbaum is Sparano's biggest supporter inside the Jets' organization, and Tannenbaum may very well be fired as well. Per La Canfora, as many as a half-dozen head coaches will be let go on "Black Monday," the Monday following Week 17. And that doesn't even begin to include coordinator firings.
