Item # 714SW115B | MFR # 1012935
This item is no longer available.
Whether it's an explosion or earthquake on a Hollywood soundtrack, low notes from a bass guitar, or the subterranean thunder of a large cathedral pipe organ, the Klipsch SW-115 lets you hear and feel those extremely low frequencies, adding realism and excitement to your movies and music. This subwoofer's high-output 400-watt amplifier pushes a 15" driver capable of delivering deep, bone-crushing bass even at concert-hall volume levels. The front slot port helps minimize turbulence for clean sound. And since the port is in the front, you won't hear unwanted "boominess" from sound reverberating off your walls and floor.
Deep tight base with no "muddiness". Great output and earth shaking bass.

Average Customer Review(s):
Deep tight base with no "muddiness". Great output and earth shaking bass.
Pros: Great supplement for really low base.
Cons: Minimalist styling.
Very strong bass. Plenty of room-shaking bass. From other reviews was concerned about size, but not an issue.
Pros: Complements RF 7
Cons: None
Replaced my front 12" 150 watt sub in my theater room with the Klipsch SW-115 15" sub. I was very impressed with deep earth rocking sound. My son & I watch a lot of action movies & this sub is outstanding. Was a little concerned with the cost but once insatlled worth every cent. WOW
Pros: Deep Rocking Sound (great for action type movies)
Cons: cost
Ever since Klipsch introduced the SW-115 powered subwoofer, I've read everything that I could find online concerning it's performance. I wanted to up-grade my existing sub in my home theater system and the SW-115 really gets it done. The deep, thundering bass really makes action movies come to life. You actually feel the strong vibes and this sub has a deep, clean, throbbing sound without sounding mushy. Some reviewers seem to complain about the size of the box and the finish. I have no issues at all about this. After all, it takes a good sized box to accommodate a 15 inch driver and the amp. I believe that Klipsch has produced a winner in the SW-115. I don't think that anyone else can offer this kind of performance at this price.
Pros: Clean, powerful, booming bass that will rattle everything in your room. It makes HD home theater systems rival public movie theaters. The buying experience from Crutchfield's and the knowledgeable phone rep made the purchase very quick and easy. I received the order in three days.
Cons: None!!
Little skeptical at first due to being a music lover but needed a sub to do both music and theater that would keep up with my Klipsch dual 8" mains and 6" center & surrounds. This baby does not disappoint! It is quick enough and clean enough for my music (mainly rock, but really a little bit of everything) and reaches lower octaves for theater and gaming that I didn't think would be achievable given my large room size. It is sitting in the corner of the room, originally firing out from behind the TV towards the seating area. But I found in my room, the best location was still in the corner but with the sub firing towards the wall, spaced 10" from the wall. This simple change extended the lower range noticeably; now there are movie and game effects that you barely hear but they shake you, and the pictures on the opposite wall that is about 40' away! Great experience with both the product and the Crutchfield service.
Pros: Great sound, incredible extension. Bought a scratch & dent unit; arrived in perfect shape. Not a found defect at all, still wrapped in plastic with all paperwork. Saved $100.
Cons: It is large and heavy, but what did you expect from 15" ported enclosure with response down to 18hz? Who cares about the size, just have someone help you get it into position.
Wow! I received my new sw-115 on friday afternoon it came 2 days after purchase although the LFE channel did not work I use left channel line in after I got it setup with my home theater system it is awesome and loud and clean n deep!
Pros: Loud clean and deep simple and yet powerful
Cons: Kinda cheap cabinet no eq or bass boost or cut and no q values

BASH Digital Hybrid Class AB Amplifier: The Klipsch SW-115 powered subwoofer features a highly efficient BASH digital hybrid class AB amplifier which produces reliable, high-powered sound. The built-in amplifier is rated at 400 watts RMS (800 watts Peak). The RMS power rating indicates power available on a continuous, long-term basis. The Peak power rating indicates power available for large, short-term peaks in your music or movie soundtrack.
15" Fiberglass Woofer: The Klipsch SW-115 powered subwoofer features a front-firing 15" non-resonant woven fiberglass driver with a durable rubber surround for tight musical bass.
Bass Reflex Enclosure: The Klipsch SW-115 utilizes a bass-reflex enclosure with an advanced front-firing slot port to produce tight musical bass. This highly efficient enclosure design produces more output using less energy.
Power LED Indicator: Located on the powered subwoofer's front baffle, this LED indicates the operating status of the unit's built-in amplifier. The LED is off when the amplifier is in standby mode and green when the amplifier is on and receiving a signal.
Rubber Feet: The Klipsch powered subwoofer is equipped with four integrated rubber feet to help prevent against vibration.
Placement: Klipsch powered subwoofers are designed to reproduce deep bass and deliver the impact that makes your movies and music come alive. Typically, optimum performance will result if you place the subwoofer in a corner of the room on the same wall as your front channel speakers.
Gain Control: The gain control of the Klipsch SW-115 adjusts the subwoofer's volume relative to the rest of your home audio system. If the Klipsch powered subwoofer is connected to the Subwoofer Output (LFE) on your AV receiver, first set the subwoofer volume level control in the receiver to the "half-way" or the "0-dB" position. Then increase the gain of the subwoofer until the subwoofer's volume level matches the output of your main speakers. After this setup is completed, the volume control of your AV receiver will be the volume control for both the Klipsch powered subwoofer and your connected loudspeakers.
Lowpass Crossover: The Klipsch SW-115 powered subwoofer features a variable lowpass crossover which is adjustable from 40-150Hz. The crossover point chosen determines where low bass frequencies are "handed-off" from your AV system's loudspeakers to the Klipsch powered subwoofer. Set the crossover point based on the size of your systems' main left/right speakers. As a general rule, for larger, floor-standing speakers, set the crossover point between 40-90Hz. If using small bookshelf or satellite speakers for your mains, set the crossover point between 90-150Hz. The smaller the speaker, the higher the setting until the bass frequencies blend well between the loudspeakers and the Klipsch powered sub. If setting the crossover point in the receiver, turn the Lowpass Filter knob on the subwoofer to the farthest point right (150Hz).
Phase: The Klipsch SW-115 powered subwoofer has an adjustable phase control which can be set between 0° and 180°. This control is used to acoustically match the subwoofer's output to your system's main speakers. Select a position between 0° and 180°, in which the subwoofer has more output at your main listening position.
Power Auto/On/Off: The Klipsch powered subwoofer features a 3-way power switch. This is the main AC power switch for the subwoofer. This switch must be in the "On" position for the subwoofer to operate or the "Auto" position for the Auto-On feature to function. Set this switch to the "Off" position if the subwoofer will not be used for an extended period of time. When this switch is in the "Auto" position, the subwoofer will automatically turn on when it senses a signal. It will automatically turn off after 20 minutes with no signal.
Line-Level Input: The Klipsch SW-115 powered subwoofer is equipped with a pair of line-level RCA-type inputs. Most of today's AV receivers have a line-level subwoofer output (LFE) labeled Subwoofer Pre Out, Sub Out, or SW Out. If your receiver has this output, connect on end of a subwoofer cable to it and connect the other end of the cable into the powered subwoofer's line-level input labeled "LEFT/LFE". This connection allows the subwoofer to operate with both music and surround sound movies. In absence of a subwoofer (LFE) output on your receiver, as an alternative hookup, you can connect Left & Right channel pre-amp outputs from a receiver to the "Left/LFE" and "Right" input on the powered subwoofer.
Speaker-Level Inputs: If your AV receiver does not have an LFE out or subwoofer preamp output, you can connect the Klipsch subwoofer to the receiver via speaker-level connection, using the powered subwoofer's 5-way binding posts. Using 16-gauge or larger speaker wire, connect the Red 'positive' (+) terminal of the AV receiver's Left channel to the Red (+) terminal of the subwoofer's Left speaker-input channel. Connect the Black 'negative' (-) terminal of the AV receiver's Left channel to the Black (-) terminal of the subwoofer's Left speaker-input channel. Repeat this procedure for connecting your AV receiver's Right channel input. The terminals on the AV receiver used to connect the powered subwoofer will be the same terminals used to connect the AV receiver to your main speakers.
Note: Take care that no bare wires from any of the connection touch any other terminals, or each other, as this could damage your equipment.
WA Port (optional): The Klipsch powered subwoofer is fitted with a proprietary 4-pin "WA-Port" connector for wireless operation, using Klipsch's optional WA-2 wireless subwoofer kit (714WA2, sold separately). The Klipsch WA-2 wireless subwoofer kit consists of two components; a wireless Transmitter & wireless Receiver. The WA-2 wireless subwoofer kit makes adding the Klipsch powered subwoofer to your home theater system much easier, because it replaces the need for a separate subwoofer cable that traditionally must be connected between the receiver and the powered sub. Now, you can easily place your powered subwoofer where it both sounds and looks best in the room since you're not restricted by an audio cable.

Correia throws seven scoreless, but Royals rally late
MINNEAPOLIS -- On a hot and humid Minnesota evening, Kevin Correia stayed cool against whatever pressure the Royals created.
The Twins right-hander did not allow a run over his seven innings of work in Tuesday's series opener at Target Field, giving up six hits and two walks. He struck out seven over 118 pitches, setting a career high as he outpaced his old record of 114 pitches -- a mark he matched twice previously, in 2005 and '09.Full Game Coverage
MINNEAPOLIS -- On a hot and humid Minnesota evening, Kevin Correia stayed cool against whatever pressure the Royals created.
The Twins right-hander did not allow a run over his seven innings of work in Tuesday's series opener at Target Field, giving up six hits and two walks. He struck out seven over 118 pitches, setting a career high as he outpaced his old record of 114 pitches -- a mark he matched twice previously, in 2005 and '09.Full Game Coverage
But Correia's solid outing went all for naught, as it was undone in the eighth. The Royals used three straight one-out singles to finally open up the scoring -- leading to a 6-1 win.
"He pitched very well," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He matched [James] Shields inning for inning out there. A strong effort by him throwing the ball. He used all of his pitches, he had them all working for him just like their guy did."
Correia ended his night with an 11-pitch at-bat to Eric Hosmer, with Emilio Bonifacio sitting on second. After two straight strikeouts to start the inning, Correia gave up the double that Bonifacio roped to right-center. Correia dug deep and battled with Hosmer until the Royals first baseman lined one right at shortstop Pedro Florimon to end the inning.
"It's big," Correia added. "Obviously, one hit in one of those situations and they're taking the lead. You're facing their ace, who is a very good pitcher, so you have to throw up as many zeros as you can to try to match him."
With Jared Burton on in relief of Correia in the eighth, the righty struck out Billy Butler before allowing three straight hits to Salvador Perez, David Lough and Chris Getz. Getz's bloop single into right field allowed Perez to score after moving to third on Lough's single to right field, making it 1-0.
Burton walked Alcides Escobar to load the bases before giving way to Caleb Thielbar. On Thielbar's first pitch, the Royals ran a perfectly executed squeeze play, allowing Lough to make it 2-0 and Jarrod Dyson to keep the bases loaded.
"We talked about it: Take a shot at putting one down for a hit," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "We told Lough, 'Hey, be on your toes here. If he puts one down, you've got to get a good jump.' So Dice did a great job."
Alex Gordon followed with a base-clearing double down the right-field line for the 5-0 lead. As he tried to stretch to a triple, Gordon was tagged out at third on the relay from right field.
"A good ballgame until we got to the end of the eighth and things kind of unraveled out there," Gardenhire said. "We couldn't really stop them. The ball kept going their way, the bunts -- you name it, everything -- those stolen bases, the bloops and there you have it, a five spot."
The Twins got one back in the bottom of the eighth. Brian Dozier dropped a double into the left-field corner, allowing Trevor Plouffe, who reached on a single to start the inning, to score from third to make it 5-1.
But with runners on second and third, Chris Herrmann and Justin Morneau ended the threat with back-to-back strikeouts. It's a trend that continues to plague the Twins, as they went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position.
Butler made it 6-1 as he led off the ninth with a shot to right field, jumping on a 2-1 pitch from Ryan Pressly.
Shields allowed one run on four hits and four walks in 7 1/3 innings. He also struck out seven before giving way to Will Smith in the eighth, who registered the final two outs of the inning.
"I felt great, I felt like I was pounding the strike zone, I gave out more walks than I really wanted to," Shields said. "I thought the pitches were really close but they were balls and I was just trying to be aggressive."
"He's got great stuff," Gardenhire added. "He had a great changeup early in the game and it was diving like a slider. He really used that effectively to get in the fastball counts and being able to throw a changeup and make it dive. He pitched really, really well."
With the loss, the Twins fell to 4-13 against the Royals this season.
"They've improved so much through the year," Correia said. "They have good young hitters. Hosmer is going to be one of the best hitters in the game. He has a good approach and he can cover pitches not a lot of guys can. So it's just a matter of making good pitches."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Three charities received brand-new furniture Wednesday, courtesy of Ashley Furniture and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Sulzbacher Center, Wounded Warrior Project and Daniel Kids Foundation all received new recliners for their facilities.
The first delivery of the morning was to the Sulzbacher, where new recliners were added to a special entertainment room for the homeless veterans who stay at the center.
"We always feel like someone is out there looking out for us and our needs are always met so we're very lucky to have partners like the Jaguars," said Allison Vega with the Sulzbacher Center.
Jaguars' cornerback Will Blackmon and Ashley Furniture then moved recliners into the Wounded Warrior Project center.
"To see how the community reaches out and shows service members all this support is, you know, it's just a great thing for us; you know we really appreciate it," said Army Staff Sgt. Carlos De Leon.
"Well, they served for us. They protect us, so it's only right for us that it's my duty, I feel, to serve them as well," said Jaguars' cornerback Will Blackmon
The third furniture donation of the day went to the Daniel Foundation, where the chairs were added to Daniel Academy School's reading room.
"Being able to focus on reading, and that's this kind of nice atmosphere. It's really important so we really appreciate what the Jaguars have done for us," said Jim Clark, president and CEO of the Daniel Foundation.
About 100 kids will get to use the recliners in the reading room. The school serves children a part of the Daniel Foundation as well as children in the community who have trouble fitting in at public school.
Blackmon says he hopes to continue to do good in the community because, "It's fun to help others."

I usually don't like to get into discussions about sourdough, too many conflicting opinions and information or more likely misinformation. My question to those who believe a culture remains stable, can you still make genuine San Francisco sourdough with your starter once you leave San Francisco? San Francisco bakers say NO! So do a lot of sourdough "experts".
I always have a starter on hand, sometimes several at once, but all my starters are made in my house, I've never imported one. Flavor profile remains pretty constant. I don't get too deep into the technical stuff, I usually keep my starters under refridgeration, and when I'm gonna use them to bake I'll start a feeding regime to bring them up to strength. I used to read a lot about sourdoughs, then I just decided to go my own way and I get great results. I do remember reading that eventually the local strains would overtake the original yeast strains. With all the conflicting info, that was the reason I decided to just do my own thing and not worry about the science behind it.
I would love to hear your theory on this David, b/c Brian's post is pretty clear....One thing to keep in mind about sourdough cultures... They all adapt to your available yeast strains and bacteria after about two weeks and no longer have many of the properties of the propagated strain that you purchase. After 2 weeks you have a sourdough culture that you could have made yourself.So in other words, after a 2 week period, ALL starters will adapt to local yeasts and be a (drastically or completely) different starter than what you originally started out with. That is the starter will have different properties. I am assuming that he is referring to the flavor profile and leavening power. Am I misinterpreting or misunderstanding anything here? So whether you have 2 starters or 200, ALL will become the same starter if fed with the same local flour within 2 weeks because the local strain(s) will have taken over. This either is true or it is false. It either happens or it does not. And as far as my senses tell me, it has yet to happen in my kitchen.
Okay, have you noticed among your different starters if they remained different or have they become the same starters? Are you interested in me sending you 2 distinctly different starters to reactivate and use. You can without much effort, monitor them over the course of say 1 month, feeding them with the same flour and routine as you normally would with your local starters. Then at the end of 1-2 months of use, you can compare them to your local starter(s) and then report back...1) if both starters have remained fairly consistenty in flavor and leavening strength since reactivation.2) if both starters have remained different in flavor and leavening strength from each other.3) compared to your local starter(s), if the 2 new starters remain different in flavor and leavening strength if applicable.By now, I am assuming that you are well familiar with the flavor of your local starter(s) and will be able to tell the difference in flavors of the raw starter and finished baked goods.PM me if you are interested.
in many cases I don't even bother using an airtight lid.
Well. As I said, I can construct different scenarios. So lets say for instance I had a starter that was in bad health, or very nearly dead due to self poisoning. I don't feed it. I store it out in open air in my hot apartment in Florida. It's been all around mistreated in general. It's got too much alcohol, or too much acid, or mold or whatever crap in it you want to dream up is in it. If I add flour and water to it, it does two things; dilutes the environment to one that is inhabitable and introduces the only healthy yeast in the jar. Eventually I get my culture back and I notice that it tastes the same as the one it was sitting right next to it that I started myself. In response I come up with this theory about how all starters adapt to their local environment eventually.There is one *takeover* scenario that might happen to one person but not another person. So it can be hard to say if something is point blank true or false without describing the conditions involved. For all I know, Brian stores his starters in his wallet. Back pants pocket all day long.
Pardon me for hijacking but as long as I have all the sourdough guru's attention, I have a question/problem. I buy some starters from sourdo.com & activate them as per the instructions. The smell great, I feed them a few more times and they lose the sour smell and flavor. When I use them to bake Tartine bread or anything else they perform well as far as leavening but the flavor is virtually non-existing. I have had the same experience with Ishia, SF, Camolodi. Any ideas?
I typically feed 2 times per day. I remove all but about 1/2 cup and add about 1/2 - 3/4 cup flour and enough water to make a very thick batter. I have tried temps from 65-80 with out an variation in flavor although as expected starter activates a lot faster with the higher temps.
David, with all due respect, this example is bordering on absurd.
Notwithstanding, it still is probably a lot less likely than you think. I have on many occasions left a starter unfed and unattended on my counter for over a week. The food supply has been completely exhausted for days, and it is full acid, alcohol and the other waste byproducts of the yeast and bacteria. That does not mean the entire flora is dead. I feed it some flour and water it will come back in a day or so and behave exactly as before (I do draw the line at mold any mold and its going into the trash).
When you say adding flour introduces the only healthy yeast in the jar, I do not believe you are correct. The yeast cells in the flour are not healthy. If they were, it would not take a month or two to start a culture from them as you indicated is necessary. It would take a day or so.
If you are correct that it takes a month or two to start a culture from flour and water, I dont see how could also believe the yeast naturally in flour could take over an existing, established culture given any realistic set of assumptions.CL
I typically feed 2 times per day. I remove all but about 1/2 cup and add about 1/2 - 3/4 cup flour and enough water to make a very thick batter. I have tried temps from 65-80 with out an variation in flavor although as expected starter activates a lot faster with the higher temps.
Here is the routine; I take the starter out of the fridge, feed it 2X day for a day or two until it gets real active. I then use what I need, feed the starter again & leave on counter for an hour then return to fridge until needed again.

Carly Rae Jepsen's upcoming album has quite the roster. While some collaborations were more organic, like her duet with Justin Bieber, others came about randomly.
Carly spoke with MTV News of how she first ran into LMFAO's Redfoo after Canada's MuchMusic Video Awards and how they came to write together.
"I actually met him in the airport after the MMVA's. I didn't have security with me and his security came when I got paparazzi'd," she recalled. "So he saved me and then we made friends and we started working on a song together. [We] actually wrote the majority of that song over the phone together."
Carly said her album, which is due for release in September, will be pop with a hint of dance-pop and folk-pop. While she wouldn't reveal too much about the song with Justin Bieber she did explain the backstory.
"It's a really lovely song. The way he presented it was pretty cool. It was my first time meeting him. I was at the studio, and he basically just said, 'What do you think of this song?' and I was like, 'Wow, I love it.'"
In addition to working with Bieber she also joined forces with fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff.
"That was sort of a random collaboration of us both really digging what the other person did," she said.
As far as when fans can expect the album, Carly tells Rolling Stone she doesn't know the exact date.
"Definitely in time for the fall. I want to have it in time for the Justin Bieber tour."

Japanese whalers' resupply ship snared
The Japanese whaling fleet's key re-supply ship, Sun Laurel, has been found by anti-whaling activists south of Australia, throwing into doubt the whalers' ability to refuel.
The 5,700 tonne tanker was located on Thursday in the Southern Ocean about 1,250 nautical miles south of Albany, Western Australia, Sea Shepherd Australia said.
The group said its new Australian ship, Sam Simon, bought in a ruse last year from the Japanese Government, found the Sun Laurel and the flagship Steve Irwin had changed course to meet up.
Sea Shepherd Australia director Jeff Hansen said the group would block access to the tanker by any whaling ships attempting to refuel, representing a "crippling result".
"It's time to rein in your fleet, Japan and head back to Tokyo," Mr Hansen said.
Last time Sea Shepherd located the Sun Laurel, in 2011, their blockade held up against the fleet for weeks before it broke free and was able to refuel the factory ship Nisshin Maru.
The blockade comes with a lawyer for Japan's Institute of Cetacean Research already threatening to cite the US arm of Sea Shepherd for contempt over the near approach of the group's ship, Brigitte Bardot, to a harpoon ship.
The US Ninth Circuit appeals court imposed an injunction on the Washington State-based Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS), restraining its ships from attacking the whaling fleet, or approaching within 500 yards.
The group said Nisshin Maru was believed to have had fled westward since being located south of Hobart last month, and would have had very little time to process whales killed by its single accompanying harpoon ship.

CARSON, Calif. – Brazilian midfielder Juninho has been at the heart of the LA Galaxy midfield for three years and has enjoyed plenty of battles with Seattle Sounders FC. This Sunday, he'll be part of yet another battle in the Western Conference Championship First Leg at The Home Depot Center.
Juninho was stationed in the center of midfield for all three of the Galaxy's matches against Seattle this season where LA accrued a 1-2-0 record against the Sounders this season. In those matches, the midfield battle turned on Juninho's battles with Seattle's Osvaldo Alonso and Brad Evans.
The Brazilian will need to be on point on both sides of the ball in the Western Conference Championship First Leg on Sunday as LA look to crack a Seattle defense that allowed just 33 goals this season—the lowest amount in the Western Conference.
Ahead of Sunday's match, Juninho believes that team defense will ultimately decide the Western Conference Championship.
"Now, it's who plays better on defense. We have two games and we need to be smart about that. I hope that we win both games and advance to the final, "said Juninho. "[We need to] play simple and smart because we have two games and the second game is [in Seattle]. We need to score a couple of goals [at home] and play smart and intelligent."

Sean "Diddy" Combs has danced his way to Forbes' list of "Hip-Hop's Wealthiest Artists," surpassing power earners such as 50 Cent, Dr. Dre and Jay-Z.
The "Forbes 5" list, which was released yesterday, included an elite grouping of five rappers with big bank. This list calculates overall net worth, unlike the previous "Cash Kings" lists, which compiled the year's earnings.
When all the chips were counted, Forbes tallied Diddy's worth at $550 million, crediting his deal with Ciroc vodka, his new cable channel Revolt, his Sean John clothing line and other lucrative ventures, with setting Combs on his way to becoming "hip-hop's first billionaire."
Jay-Z followed with a total of $460 million. The list places heavy emphasis on his touring earnings, the sale of Rocawear in 2007 and $150 million LiveNation deal.
Dr. Dre hit the list at No. 3, with an estimated net worth of $270 million. For Dre's recent bump in wealth, Forbes points to a $3oo million sale of his stake in Beats Electronics, the company he co-founded that produces the popular Beats headphones.
No. 4 went to Birdman, Mr. Cash Money. His estimated worth is set at $125 million, followed by 50 Cent, who was reported to have $110 million. 50 made a huge chunk of his wealth from selling off his Vitaminwater stake in 2007.

Cartel boss convicted in U.S. court
Updated 1:16 am, Saturday, September 29, 2012
BROWNSVILLE — A federal jury deliberated two hours Friday before finding a self-proclaimed Gulf Cartel plaza boss guilty of a decade of conspiring to import and distribute cocaine and marijuana from Mexico into the United States.
Juan Roberto Rincon-Rincon, who on Sept. 17 rejected a plea deal, looked down grimly as the verdict was read, his hands crossed in front of him. He faces 10 years to life in prison at his Jan. 7 sentencing.
U.S. District Judge Hilda Tagle earlier in the day denied a defense motion to dismiss the case for lack of evidence linking Rincon-Rincon directly to narcotics coming through the Rio Bravo "plaza," Rincon-Rincon's fiefdom opposite Hidalgo County.

"They're just going to try to say that if it's here it belongs to the Gulf Cartel and ... it belongs to Mr. Rincon," Defense Attorney Richard Zayas said, referring to testimony of 14 large marijuana seizures totaling more than 5,000 kilograms made on the U.S. side of the plaza during Rincon-Rincon's reign over a cartel sector that had a $95,000-per-week payroll.
Evidence also showed that Rincon-Rincon, 41, had between 2004 and 2009 been boss of the San Fernando sector, where planeloads of cocaine were regularly delivered to remote landing strips for transport to and beyond the Texas border.
Zayas did not present evidence, but in a closing statement stressed that the government's case was based largely on unrecorded interviews and testimony from convicted criminals willing to say anything in hopes of a lighter sentence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jody Young countered that proof of Rincon-Rincon's guilt came from Rincon-Rincon himself, who according to testimony puffed out his chest and proudly told an investigator his identity.
"Yo soy un comandante del Cartel del Golfo (I am a commander of the Gulf Cartel)," Young said, repeating Rincon-Rincon's statement.
Young added that the testimony only corroborated years of intelligence into both Rincon-Rincon's identity and the power struggles within the cartel.
Testimony provided a rare and comprehensive look into the workings of what had been one of Mexico's most powerful drug smuggling operations.
But as Rincon-Rincon, also known as "Primo" and "X-5" rose, the cartel was disintegrating.
The 2003 capture and subsequent U.S. conviction of former cartel leader Osiel Cárdenas-Guillén left Jorge Eduardo "El Cos" or "El Coss" Costilla in power, and Rincon-Rincon became one of Costilla's top men.
But Osiel's formation of the "Zeta" group of specially trained enforcers proved ill-fated when the group splintered into a rival faction, and of late family of Osiel and a Reynosa-based faction known as the "Metros" were simultaneously trying to topple Costilla.
Costilla was arrested in Mexico earlier this month.
Young, the prosecutor, said he was pleased with an "important" verdict.
"It shows that we're certainly looking at individuals on both sides of the border who continue to traffic drugs inside our country, and we'll continue to do this," he said.

Dave Emison takes a sharp right, eases his foot over the gas pedal and points his tram in the direction of Cà d'Zan.
Careful to stay in a straight, predictable line, he obeys all stop signs and watches for crossing tourists as he motors past Mable Ringling's rose garden and stops in front of a knotty banyan tree.
"The kids get a kick out of this," he says, pointing to a statue of a stone cherub tangled up in the tree's gray roots. "Over time, the tree just engulfed the statue."
He putters up the long, curved drive leading up to the mansion and idles near the front door, waiting for wayward tourists to hail a ride. As an older couple nears, he calls out to them.
"Need a lift?" he asks.
They say, "Yes, to Treviso," the swank Italian eatery inside the museum's visitor's center.
"The first time I came here I was scurrying around trying to hit up everything," says Emison, a Lakewood Ranch resident. "I didn't realize there were trams running between the buildings. I think people are pleasantly surprised when they see us."
A retired pharmaceuticals executive from Connecticut, Emison, 57, started volunteering for The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art three years ago.
He usually works the afternoon shift, logging eight hours a week driving one of the museum's three gas-powered trams. He loves the job, especially the part where he gets to moonlight as a tour guide.
"I think most of us tram drivers take pride in the museum," Emison says. "It's sort of like showing someone around your backyard — well, not my backyard, but you know what I mean."
The first thing he did when he started running the tram was stock up on history books and horticulture guides in the museum's souvenir shop.
"I wanted to be able to describe the different plants and the significance of the buildings and statues," Emison says. "When I got here I didn't have a clue what was what and I wanted to be more than just a bus driver."
As he circles the lush grounds, identifying Royal Poinciana trees and Roman statues, it's evident that Emison is no two-bit chauffeur.
"You know, we have one of the largest collection of Rubens in the world," he says. "The Louvre has two and we have five."
Emison takes his job seriously, more seriously than some people regard their paying jobs. He often drums up business for the museum by giving speeches at Kiwanis or Rotary club meetings, plugging new art exhibits, programs or events.
When asked to compare the museum's sleek new electric trams to his loud, quivering shuttle, he whispers, "Don't let it hear you, but it's really just a giant golf cart."
He never tires of taxiing sightseers around Ringling's 66-acre estate, even if he can rattle off every hackneyed remark ever uttered from the backseat: "Where do you keep the elephants?" "Why did John Ringling build his home so close to the airport?" "I didn't realize this place was so big!"
"It's very relaxing," Emison says. "Sure, I have to pay attention, but it's not like I'm driving a Mack truck."
He passes another tram heading in the direction of the circus museum and throws a friendly nod to the driver. Drivers like to mix up their routes as much as possible. At the height of season as many as five trams will loop the estate, sometimes towing trailers, more than doubling Emison's seven-passenger load.
He rolls up to the visitors center. The older couple gets out and two new tourists hop in.
"Where to?" Emison asks.
"The art museum," they reply in unison.
Emison puts his foot on the gas and the tram lurches forward.
"Good choice," he says.
Dave Emison takes a sharp right, eases his foot over the gas pedal and points his tram in the direction of Cà d'Zan.

About the Cornell Inn property
LENOX -- The four-acre Cornell Inn property at 203 Main St. includes three houses with 28 rooms for guests, as well as innkeeper's quarters.
The 10-room MacDonald House -- oldest of the buildings at the site -- was built in 1777 as a private residence and adjoins a garden and waterfall. It retains original corner beams and floorboards and was owned by multiple generations of the family, including state Rep. Edward MacDonald during the 1870s. Later, his two daughters resided there.
The 10-room Main House, a Victorian completed around 1880, was home for the Cornell Family.
The Carriage House, built in 1889, offers a pair of loft suites and six other rooms, but is structurally challenged, according to former innkeeper Eiran Gazit and current manager Lance Fyfe.
Photos provided to prospective bidders illustrate the building's precarious underpinnings with temporary supports.
A vintage photo hangs on the wall near the inn's front desk, showing the property being operated as Twin Maples, apparently as a guest house, about 100 years ago.
The recent B&B operation began in 1986 and the property was renovated in 2006. In 2008, when it was put on the market by Century 21 Franklin Street for $3.9 million, it had a year-round occupancy rate of about 30 percent and gross revenues exceeding $650,000, and included a pub and restaurant for guests only.
A year later, offered at $3,495,000, the occupancy rate was put at 25 percent with gross revenue down to $560,000.
A private appraisal had valued it at $4,185,000 in 2008.
After Billie and Doug McLaughlin abruptly closed it in September 2009, causing at least 30 guests who showed up to find locked doors and lights off, the inn reopened three months later with tourism consultant Eiran Gazit as innkeeper as efforts to sell it continued. After ownership was transferred to the German bank, Gazit departed; he acquired the Gateways Inn on Walker Street last December for $2.5 million.

The Effect of Group Play Therapy on Social-Emotional Skills in Pre-School Children
Background: Childhood is important and critical period in human life. The foundation of ego is shaped in childhood. Play therapy is one of the successful strategies to help children with inner conflicts problems. This method of psychotherapy is base on the normal learning processes of children, provides solutions to relieve feelings of stress, and expands self-expression. Group play therapy can enhance the self-awareness, self- regulation, social communication, empathy and adoptability in children.
Methods: Present study investigated the effects of play therapy on relational and emotional skills of pre-school children. For this purpose, the total numbers of 372 pre-school children were randomly selected, and divided into two equal groups (case and control). In next step, the BUSSE-SR methodology was used for evaluation and comparison of self-awareness, self-regulation, social interaction, empathy, adoptability, and control groups. Pre-test were performed for both groups and case group was involved in-group play therapy. According to the results of post-test, correlation of variables between case-control groups was examined by multivariate analysis of covariance.
Results: Frequency of boys and girls in our sample were 51.3 and 48.7 percent, respectively. The mean age of children was 5.1±0.6 year. According to the results of present study, play therapy significantly enhanced the social-emotional skills (P< 0.001). Our findings are consistent with the results of previous studies in other nations with different environmental and cultural properties. In conclusion, it seems that play therapy can be used in pre-school centers to help children learn problem-solving skills and communicate with others.

General Discussion / Packing for flights« on: March 28, 2013, 11:11:52 am »
The question I have is, what is the best way to pack your gear for flights. I plan to use a cardboard box for my bike,
but for the rest of my stuff, I am not sure of the best way to packing them. Do I put them in a luggage holdall and send
the holdall back after I arrived at destination? Do I use bin bags and wrap them it with duct tape? I am totally clueless
on the common methods.

Bone is living tissue that is constantly undergoing a process called remodeling. In remodeling, cells called osteoclasts are breaking down old bone, as cells called osteoblasts are replacing it with new tissue. Many factors can affect the remodeling process and leave you with bones that are less dense and more fragile.
Some factors that affect bone remodeling are:
Regular weight-bearing and resistance exercise helps build muscle, as well as maintain and increase bone strength. Exercise causes the muscle to contract against the bone. This action stresses or stimulates the bone, and the bone becomes stronger and denser. The three main types of exercise are (some activities can be more than 1 type):
In aerobic exercise, you continually move large muscles in the legs, shoulders, and buttocks. This action causes you to breathe more deeply, and your heart to work harder pumping blood, thereby strengthening your heart and lungs. Examples include:
In weight-bearing exercises, your bones and muscles work against gravity, and your feet and legs bear the weight. Your bones adapt to the weight and pull of the muscle during weight-bearing exercise. Examples of weight-bearing exercises include:
Resistance exercises use muscle strength to improve muscle mass and strengthen bone. Examples include:
Before starting any type of exercise program, check with your doctor about any possible medical problems you may have that would limit your ability to exercise.

text: Perhaps no industry has witnessed more wreckage from the economic crisis than the automotive sector. From manufacturing to media, millions of jobs are tied to this beleaguered industry. Auto sales realized their worst performance since 1992 because of the sales reversal of light vehicles, from 16.1 million units in 2007 to only 13.2 million in 2008. General Motors alone lost $30.9 billion. According to the Economic Policy Institute, a nonprofit Washington, D.C.-based think tank, approximately 19,000 fewer African Americans were employed in the auto industry in November 2008 than in December 2007, when the recession began.

Andy Pettitte pitched the Yankees to their first win of the season and Mariano Rivera made a successful return to the mound in New York's 4-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night.
Brett Gardner and Francisco Cervelli homered for the Yankees, providing some unexpected power to a depleted lineup missing the "sore four" — Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson. All those All-Stars are on the disabled list, and without them New York dropped its first two games at home to the rival Red Sox.
Gardner and Cervelli each hit a solo shot, the first homer for both since they went back-to-back off Baltimore's Tommy Hunter on Sept. 6, 2011. Neither player spent much time on the active big league roster last season.
Lyle Overbay had a two-run single off Ryan Dempster (0-1), who struck out eight in his Boston debut but needed 101 pitches to get through five innings. The two-time All-Star signed a $26.5 million, two-year contract in December after spending last season with the Cubs and Rangers.
Pettitte (1-0) tossed eight sharp innings on a chilly night and Rivera entered to a standing ovation from those left in the bundled-up crowd of 40,611 as the familiar chords of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" blared over the Yankee Stadium speakers.
Baseball's career saves leader, set to retire after this season, missed most of last year after tearing a knee ligament May 3 while shagging flies during batting practice in Kansas City.
Rivera issued a leadoff walk to Dustin Pedroia and gave up a one-out double to Jonny Gomes before Will Middlebrooks drove in a run with a groundout. But the right-hander threw a called third strike past rookie Jackie Bradley Jr. for his 609th save and first since April 30 last year at Baltimore.
It was the 69th time Rivera has saved a win by Pettitte, a major league record. And by appearing in his 19th Yankees season, Rivera broke a tie with Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle and Jeter to set the franchise mark. Jeter will match Rivera again when the captain makes his season debut.
With fans chanting his name, Pettitte got through the eighth inning and pumped his fist before heading into the dugout for good.
Backed by three double plays — one that he started himself — the 40-year-old lefty allowed one only run and eight hits. He threw 94 efficient pitches and gave the New York pitching staff a huge boost after Hiroki Kuroda was pulled in the second inning Wednesday night with a bruised middle finger.
Looking for their first season-opening sweep at Yankee Stadium, the Red Sox managed only Bradley's run-scoring double in the seventh.
Pettitte, beginning his 15th season with the Yankees, earned his 246th career win and improved to 19-10 in 38 starts against Boston. He missed almost three months last season with a broken left ankle and finished 5-4 with a 2.87 ERA.
Eduardo Nunez, often a defensive liability, turned two double plays at shortstop and made a leaping grab to rob Shane Victorino of a leadoff hit in the fourth. Nunez also had two hits, including a key double.
Pettitte looked perfectly comfortable out there on a 43-degree night. He blew on his pitching hand to warm it up, but never struggled to throw strikes and had a good enough grip to command his breaking ball.
Pettitte has practically made a career of righting the ship for the Yankees. The team said he is 18-3 with an ERA below 3.00 in 27 starts with New York trying to avoid a regular-season sweep, according to research by the Elias Sports Bureau.
He was working on a five-hit shutout when Middlebrooks smacked a two-out single in the seventh and scored on a double by Bradley. David Ross made a bid for a tying homer with a long drive to left-center that was caught by Gardner just in front of the fence, near the 399-foot sign.
Cervelli greeted Clayton Mortensen with a leadoff homer in the seventh that made it 4-1.
Victorino tried to score from second base on Pettitte's wild pitch in the first inning. Cervelli was slow and a little nonchalant in retrieving the ball, then scrambled back to the plate in time to tag Victorino as both players dove headfirst.
Victorino appeared shaken up but remained in the game.

If you had only watched last night's Dynamo match, you would have thought Will Bruin and Calen Carr had been playing off each other for years. In fact, the sophomore striker (Bruin) and seventh-year veteran (Carr) were playing in only their first game together as the forwards in Dominic Kinnear's 4-4-2 formation. That partnership paid dividends, however, as the two players combined for two goals and an assist in Houston's 2-1 knockout round win over the Chicago Fire.
"I think we did a good job of complementing each other tonight," Carr told reporters after the match. "We knew we wanted to come in and try to make them have to worry where we were and where we were popping up. We were also able to press them too and get into some good spots."
Although the first goal was assisted by Brad Davis, it was a Carr run behind right back Jalil Anibaba that set up the corner kick that Bruin headed home to put Houston ahead. In the second half, Carr picked up the loose ball and found Bruin for the eventual game winner.
"We are starting to gel," Bruin said of the partnership with Carr. "At training this week we were clicking and starting to figure each other out. I think people could tell tonight we were playing off each other, we were talking, we were making runs and it worked out."
With a two-goal lead, and the game opening up, Carr and Bruin found more space to work with in the second half. If not for a strong second-half performance from goalkeeper Sean Johnson, Wednesday's match could have been out of reach before Alex's 83rd minute goal gave Chicago some life.
"[Will Bruin] and Calen [Carr] had some good plays tonight," head coach Dominic Kinnear said. "They ran well off each other.
"For Will, twelve goals [in the season] and then two goals to start the playoffs is good for him," Kinnear added. "I think hitting the target was good for him tonight. The first one gave him a ton of confidence. The second goal kind of fell into his lap and he had to take it well and he did."
With a formidable Sporting Kansas City defense on the horizon (fewest goals allowed in 2012), the Dynamo's new strike partnership will need to continue to grow if the club hopes to continue playing beyond next Wednesday.
"It's always a battle when we play them," Bruin said of Sporting. "It's turned into a pretty fun rivalry. I'm sure they are going to be out for revenge but we want to keep going so we're going to keep battling."

The Gulf Coast's Premier Custom Show Celebrates its 10th Anniversary in Style
The town of Biloxi, Mississippi, is a tranquil coastal villa eleven months of the year. Its multitude of casinos, luxury hotels, and miles of windswept sandy beach always draw tourists, yet the town remains relatively peaceful. However, all this changes each June, as the arrival of Scrapin the Coast transforms this town into a bustling mecca of custom vehicles. The show, which has been held in Biloxi each year since 2003, draws the finest custom cars, trucks, and bikes from as far as Florida and Arizona. This year's show, located at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum, lasted from Friday, June 22nd through Sunday evening, and was jam-packed with events, competitions, vendor booths, and even a mobile dyno. Live music and the scent of fried food filled the air, along with the region's ever-present 90-degree summer heat and 80-percent humidity. Regardless of the weather, the show experienced an excellent turnout and had an abundance of jaw-dropping rides of every variety. Check out the pictures we snapped throughout the weekend, and for information on next year's show visit scrapinthecoast.com.

Mt. Killamanjaro — @MikeKillam
John Cena and CM Punk do battle for the WWE Championship for what may seem like the hundredth time, tonight at Night of Champions. But as far as I'm concerned, if the two of them can hold to a level as good as they were on last week's Monday Night Raw, Punk and Cena can trade blows from now until TNA posts a 3.0 television rating. More on that – Cena/Punk, not TNA's low ratings – later on in this preview.
United States Championship
The US Champ and former Ring of Honor tag specialist will take on the winner of the YouTube-exclusive pre-show Battle Royal. WWE has been pushing social media content for Brodus Clay all week long, so I have to assume he'll be getting the go-ahead to compete in his first Championship match tonight! It's much too soon for Ryback, but hot damn is he over on Raw! Another safe prediction is Santino, to continue the rather lackluster program he (and the cobra) have with Aksana.
Regardless of opponent, I can't see Cesaro dropping the belt tonight. Is he great on the mic? No, and Aksana isn't helping in the least bit. Is he great in the ring? Absolutely, but you wouldn't know it from the way WWE has used him thus far. I won't say they've "dropped the ball" with him just yet – for fear of sounding like a "mark" whatever it is the kids are calling it these days – but anything short of tag team competition with the now-Kassius Ohno seems like wasted potential in my eyes.
Prediction: Cesaro retains
Intercontinental Championship
I do not think the segment we saw on Monday Night Raw last week was in any way a "face turn" for Cody Rhodes. WWE has almost steered away from the days of polar shift changes in characters anyway. Now they're into this whole, "let the fans decide" phase, and it's resulting in a bunch of tweener characters with a no depth. That being said, the segment – despite still being in relative shock over the Jerry Lawler incident – was still good. It still showed that Cody, the former Champion (and in many people's eyes the rightful holder of that sexy white belt) isn't going to stand in Miz's shadow. He wants his title back, and that makes for good television no matter heel or face.
Mysterio and Sin Cara are eye-candy to this otherwise well-built match. Despite the WWE's attempt to build up chemistry between the two opposing sides, I've never felt like they wanted to truly get behind the angle. We have two former World Champions, one of the longest reigning Intercontinental Champions, and a Mexican lucha-legend (I'm being nice today…) competing in the same match; there should be more going on here than a few tag encounters and Cody's obsession with masks. But I suppose this month we'll just have to settle for a potentially fantastic wrestling match. Oh bother…
Prediction: The Miz retains

New data from the Urban Libraries Council show the outrageous prices libraries have to pay publishers for e-books.
They just published a two-page report on the subject, noting that none of the six largest publishers sell or license e-books for public libraries to access in the same way we do print books. "Three have adopted pricing policies that make e-books more expensive than print editions," the Council notes, even though the materials cost to publish an e-book is near zero.
The Council gives an example, the price to buy Justin Cronin's "The Twelve." Print edition: $15.51. E-book cost on Amazon: $9.99. Cost to library: $84.
The Council's conclusion is dead-on: "Publishers' inequitable practices hurt the communities and constituents who depend on their public libraries to provide unrestricted access to information."

LAS VEGAS -- The National Bulk Vendors Association concluded in late March its 63rd annual convention and trade show, which it termed a success. It was the third NBVA show to collocate with the Amusement Expo, held at the Las Vegas (NV) Convention Center from March 20 through 22.
The NBVA drew some 250 participants, down from last year's 260. There were 18 exhibitors in 42 booths, compared with 23 in 49 booths the year prior. According to one association official, "if the show fell marginally short in attendees, it was more than made up for in enthusiasm of those who did show up."
While the show did not break records any for visitors or exhibitors, it did produce a few new association members. "The show did as well as last year," said NBVA president Steven Schechner, Capital Vending (Florence, AL). "And if you can hold your own in this environment, you're doing great. And there were few complaints from exhibitors or operators. I had one exhibitor tell me that even if the show would have closed after the first day, they still would have made money."
During the show, the association held its annual meeting to elect new board members. They are Mark Brooks, Quality Candy Services (Hampton, GA.); Scott Ausmus, National Entertainment Network Inc. (Broomfield CO); John Lander, Concord Confections Inc.; R.J. Brooks, Phoenix Vending Inc. (Brighton, MI); and John Honeycutt, John Honeycutt Inc. (Clearfield, UT).
The NBVA also appointed two committee chairmen. George Wells, Mid-Maine Vending (Winterport, Maine), is membership chairman and Brian Kovens, A&A Global Industries, is product safety and compliance chairman.
During the annual NBVA on March 21, the association presented several awards.
Best 1" Capsuled Product » Brand Vending for Sqwishland
Best 2" Capsuled Product » Cardinal Distributing Co.'s Special Forces.
Best Sticker » A&A Global Industries for its NFL series
Best Tattoo » Flatline Corp. for Pink & Black
Best Candy/Gum » Concord Confections for its 1080-ct. gum
Best Bulk Vending Machine » Beaver Machine Corp.
Best Crane Mix » A&A Global Industries for its plush
Best Booth Décor » The Northwestern Corp.
The association also honored an exceptional vending operator. Matt Miller of Marz Vending (Kingwood, TX) was NBVA's Most Innovative Operator of 2012.
Amusement Expo is jointly sponsored by the Amusement and Music Operators Association and the American Amusement Machine Association, which have consolidated their separate trade shows.
"Everything ran smoothly this year," Schechner said. "Fantastically smoothly, in fact. The AMOA and AAMA really have made us feel welcome. And the mood among vending operators was upbeat. I'm really looking forward to implementing my team's ideas at the 2014 show."
The 2014 Amusement Expo and collocated NBVA show will be held from March 26 to 28, Wednesday through Friday, again at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The National Bulk Vendors Association, founded in 1950, maintains an office at 1202 E. Maryland Ave. Ste. 1K, Phoenix, AZ, 85014. Information on NBVA programs and activities may be had by calling (888) NBVA-USA [828-2872].

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Alteridge family emigrate to North America: George Aldrich who settled in Dorchester, Massachusetts in 1639; Henry Aldrich, who came to Dedham in 1645; George Aldrich, who arrived in Swansea in 1659.

Helton to receive pain treatment
First baseman will be given epidural to treat back, leg pain
By Dave Fultz / MLB.com
MILWAUKEE -- Rockies first baseman Todd Helton will get pain treatment for his ailing back on Tuesday. Helton, who is on the 15-day disabled list, will receive an epidural in hopes that it may help the recent pain he's been feeling in his back and one of his legs. On Monday, the Denver Post reported that Helton was feeling leg numbness related to his back injury, but he denied this in a story by the Rocky Mountain News. "I have had a pain in the leg and my back locked up, so we felt it was time to address the issues," Helton told the News on Monday. "I have never had any numbness. I don't know there that came from." Before this injury, Helton had only missed four of the team's first 85 games, but wasn't quite the same player he's been his entire career with the Rockies. Helton has batted .328 with a .428 on-base percentage and a .574 slugging percentage over his career. In 2008, he has hit only .266, and his power numbers have taken a bigger hit, with his slugging percentage falling to .391. Manager Clint Hurdle opted to move his first baseman to the DL rather than letting him try to play through the pain. "We just feel we're best served by shutting [him] down for awhile and also giving him a chance to heal, rather than trying to push his way through," Hurdle said Friday. "I don't think he's capable of pushing through this one."

ADELBODEN, Switzerland (Reuters) - A last-gasp mistake by arch-rival Marcel Hirscher handed American Ted Ligety his first victory in the Adelboden classic giant slalom on Saturday.
Ligety clinched his 15th top spot in the discipline in a combined time of two minutes 28.67 seconds.
The world champion owed his fourth win of the winter to World Cup holder Hirscher.
Austrian Hirscher, who had been on the podium of the last nine giant slaloms he entered, was leading Ligety by more than a second when he missed a gate close to the finish line and had to settle for 16th place.
Ligety beat Germans Fritz Dopfer, 1.15 seconds adrift, and in-form Felix Neureuther, who finished 0.09 behind his team mate.
With 15 giant slalom wins, Ligety became the third most successful skier in the discipline, level with Italy's Alberto Tomba and behind Swede Ingemar Stenmark and Swiss Michael von Gruenigen.
"I absolutely wanted to win this because it was a real chance to seize," said Hirscher after he was to explain why he did not ski more conservatively.
"Today I stretched my limits but it's good to see you can beat Ligety. I took too many risks and I paid the full price."
Ligety's victory was well deserved.
"I really went after this one. It took so long it's a real relief. Okay, it was handed to me by Marcel but I'm not going to refuse it," he said.
"Marcel should have won this but the same thing happened to me here a couple of years ago when I lost after a silly mistake close to the finish.
"It's a shame but that's skiing. I'm really proud of this for it was the only classic I had yet to win.".
Ligety had never been able to even reach the podium on the Swiss giant slalom course, lined as usual by some 40,000 fans.
While Ligety made a giant step towards claiming back the discipline's crystal globe in this last giant slalom before the world championships in Schladming next month, Hirscher lost precious points in the race for the big globe.
His closest rival Aksel Lund Svindal made it clear he was far from giving up with a good sixth place, 1.86 behind Ligety, yet he was disappointed after winning on the same slope two years ago.
"After being fourth in the morning run, I was expecting better than a sixth place. I can't win giant slaloms like I used to but I really look for a podium," he said.
The Norwegian is only 26 points behind Hirscher in the overall standings, making Sunday's slalom on the same piste another key race for the Austrian, who will have the double pressure of defending his crown and collecting vital points.

LCD Turbocharger
Most video display demos aren't terribly convincing. First, the manufacturer spends 15 minutes telling you about his whiz-bang new technology. Next, he turns on the display and shows you pictures of flowers, vegetables, and Japanese girls in bikinis. You probably say, "Yeah, that looks pretty good." (Unless you're a consultant, in which case you say, "That's terrible. How can you show this to people?")
A recent series of demos Sanyo held in New York and Los Angeles proved refreshingly different. I walked into a darkened ballroom in Los Angeles's InterContinental Hotel and saw two projection screens showing the same picture. The one on the left displayed the typical problems that LCD's detractors often describe: washed-out color and grayish-looking blacks. The one on the right delivered a stunning image, with intense - but not cartoonish - color, and the deep blacks one would expect from one of today's top-notch projectors.
"Is the one on the right the new one?" I asked hesitantly, dreading that I might have to spend the next half hour listening to Sanyo's reps extol the virtues of an obviously flawed technology. (It has happened to me, and way too many times.) "Yes," came the reply, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
The one on the right was the new PLC-XP200L projector with Sanyo's new QuaDrive technology; the one on the left was the PLC-XP100L, a similar model without QuaDrive. The PLC-XP200L is a $9,995, 7,000-lumen industrial model designed for large venues - you wouldn't dare use it in your home. Even five years ago, its old-school 4:3 aspect ratio would have branded you among home theater aficionados as a total loser. Sanyo says it will introduce QuaDrive in the home market in 2009, in a more compact, quieter, 16:9 projector.
So why do we care about this new Sanyo? Because QuaDrive adds what could be called a video turbocharger: an extra LCD panel. A typical LCD projector has a single light source (i.e., lamp); filters or dichroic mirrors that break the light into red, green, and blue; and LCD panels with thousands of pixels that allow the three colors to pass through to varying degrees. Sanyo's QuaDrive technology adds a yellow filter and what Sanyo calls a "one-pixel" panel to modulate the yellow light coming through the filter. The one-pixel panel covers the entire image, so it basically works as a shutter, giving the projector's image an extra blast of yellow when it's needed. The added yellow light is injected into the light path for green, so the physical structure of the projector doesn't change much. And the filters for the other colors are tweaked a bit to compensate for the turbocharged yellow.
Do I have your attention, now? Are you curious (yellow)? Read on.

Spring Training Info
Twins on the mound: In his second Grapefruit League appearance (first start), Kevin Slowey tossed three scoreless innings, allowing just a leadoff single to Pie. Slowey struck out two and walked one. A day after signing a four-year deal, Nick Blackburn also had an impressive outing, throwing three scoreless frames. Blackburn also picked up a pair of strikeouts and issued a walk.Orioles on the mound: Starter Brian Matusz yielded two runs on three hits in the first inning, but he rebounded to strike out the side. Matusz fanned Luke Hughes to open the second and retired the next two batters. He finished with six strikeouts in 2 2/3 innings. Closer Michael Gonzalez pitched around a walk, a double and a single, thanks to a play at the plate for the fourth inning's second out. Gonzalez struck out Chris Parmelee to end the inning. Setup man Jim Johnson allowed a run on two hits in the fifth, while Koji Uehara tossed a scoreless sixth. Worth noting: Revere, one of the Twins' top-ranked prospects, fell a homer short of the cycle in the leadoff hole and scored twice to continue his impressive Spring Training. Grapefruit League records: Twins 3-3; Orioles 1-5. Up next: The Orioles are slated to play their third straight home contest Tuesday vs. the Rays at 1:05 p.m. ET. Chris Tillman will get the start and is expected to be followed by Cla Meredith, Dennis Sarfate and Alberto Castillo.

The Twins are set to host the Cardinals on Tuesday in a 12:05 p.m. CT contest at Hammond Stadium. It's the first meeting between the two clubs this spring. Right-hander Carl Pavano is scheduled to get the start and he'll likely pitch three innings.
