SALADO Once upon a time there was an artist who labored to make a sculpture for the bridge in his town.
The sculpture was based on his wifes very favorite tale, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, and he worked night and day to mold the clay into its whimsical shape.
Eight years later, the artist found his happy ending: His sculpture, Troll and Billy Goat Gruff, was unveiled in Salado, in front of his wife and many of the townspeople.
When they installed the bridge in 1996 or 97, I came up with the idea of doing Troll and Billy Goat Gruff on the bridge, said Troy Kelley, the Salado artist who crafted the sculpture. It was one of my wifes favorite fairy tales since she was in kindergarten or first grade, so I thought it would be unique to do that.
The statue was dedicated Tuesday morning on the green walking bridge off Main Street in Salado. Mostly big kids came out to celebrate the unveiling, but the enthusiasm was childlike.
The dedication has been a long time coming, Kelley said. Its been so long, now that its finally come, its just like Wow.
Kelley completed the clay in 1998, but it took seven years for the sculptor to finally receive the funding necessary to complete the project. Much of the credit is due to the Public Arts League of Salado, he said, as well as to the Village of Salado and Jackie Mills.
Ramon Carver, the president of PALS, said the Tuesday event showcased the first public arts project the league has helped to produce. He said he was excited that Kelleys work others of which can be found in the springs of Salado and the Salado Civic Center, as well as the Killeen airport can finally be enjoyed by everyone.
This is really remarkable, Carver said during his opening remarks at the dedication. Heres an artist who not only has an idea for what he wants to do, he also does the dirty work.
Carver brought his Living Room Theatre of Salado actors to the event to perform an original Salado-centric work, The True Story of the Troll and Billy Goat Gruff, before the statue was finally unveiled. Mayor Pro Tem Michael Cooper accepted the work on behalf of the people of Salado.
Some area residents have already had the opportunity to glimpse the work, which Kelley said he hopes will have an interactive feel to it.
When I was installing it, these three girls walked by. I told them, If you dont rub his hump, thats what your future husband will look like. So two of the girls ran over and rubbed his hump, Kelley said. The third girl, who had this purple-and-green hair, looked over at it and said, I think hes kinda cute.
Kelley ultimately hopes his artwork brings a happily ever after to the people of Salado, as well as to his No. 1 fan.
I think just the unveiling, the response of the people, was great, said Kelleys wife, Vickie. I think the best part is having the public come out and enjoy it.
Anyone interested in contacting the Public Arts League of Salado can reach the organization at (254) 947-3104.

Modern Family Actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Home Pictures
Inside the Home of the Real Modern Family
Modern Family star and newlywed Jesse Tyler Ferguson has another reason to celebrate. According to Trulia, the actor — who plays Mitchell Pritchett on the hit Emmy award-winning show — and his husband, Justin Mikita, just plunked down $4.495 million for a mansion in LA's Los Feliz neighborhood. The stunning Spanish colonial revival is filled with craftsmanship charm that dates back to the 1920s. If design details like the 25-foot cathedral ceilings, beautiful tiling, and intricately carved doors don't get you, then the home's library, eat-in chef's kitchen, high-tech media room, and pool/spa might. See the spaces in their new home that are making us swoon!

Whether it is the curves of the Coca-Cola bottle, or the lines of a car to the name of a band, the most successful products appeal strongly to our emotions. Music as an industry used to be particularly great at this. Music fans are some of the most passionate consumers out there. The emotional appeal is so strong that fans actually leverage the emotional response they get from music to evoke an emotional response from others about themselves.
As a result, it's not enough for your average Mega-Death/ Eminem/ Michael Bolton (ok, probably not him) fan to sit at home and quietly listen to their music on the Ipod. No, they need to buy shirts, hats bags, pins, etc. to let the rest of the world know that they're a Mega-Death/Eminem fan. Music touches so many primal emotions in humans, that entire identities are formed around it.
Sports are another great example. You can literally walk through a stadium and feel the passion for the product. One of the original uniting principles among us is geographic similarity. East cost vs West coast. No. Cal. vs. So. Cal. NY vs. Boston. Cleveland vs. Pittsburgh, etc. People take a tribal-like pride in where they're from and thus have passion about things that supposedly represent it.
I always found it interesting that the NBA allowed the Golden State Warriors to be named as they are. The team plays in Oakland and is supposedly representative of the Bay area. But their name is Golden State. That name brings up no knee jerk geographic pride from anyone. The Golden State Warriors? I live in San Francisco, not the Golden State. Besides Los Angeles and Sacramento are in the Golden State too - and those cites have three teams between them. So who cares if Golden State loses to Milwaukee or Portland? Not me. Let me know when San Francisco plays though.
Accordingly, even in years like this where they're pretty good, no one seems to care. Change their name to San Francisco or Oakland Warriors - tap into that irrational geographic emotion and I bet more people will become passionate about the team.
Sure logic would say that if you named the team the San Francisco Warriors, that would alienate fans outside the city. One thing I've learned though is that if you try to be all things to all people, you end up being nothing to everyone. So forget about the lowest common denominator. It's just that. It brings out zero emotions. Which is perfect....if you're marketing to a Vulcan.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Afghan president said Tuesday the top commander of U.S. and NATO troops has ordered a retraining for the coalition forces following recent deaths of Afghan civilians in military operations.
Hamid Karzai said he received a letter from U.S. Gen. John Allen saying NATO was aggressively investigating the deaths and had ordered all units to retrain their troops on the procedures for using force against insurgents while protecting Afghan civilians
On Nov. 23, six children and an adult were killed in a NATO airstrike in Zhari district of Kandahar province in southern Afghanistan. Allen said then that the incident occurred when coalition forces were responding to offensive actions by insurgents.
The statement from Karzai's office quotes the letter the president received from Allen.
"I have issued direct orders for all units to conduct retraining on our methods of employing force against insurgents while protecting Afghan civilians," the statement said, quoting Allen. "No later than Dec. 5, units will confirm to me that they have complied with these orders."
U.S. Army Lt. Col. Jimmie Cummings, a spokesman for the coalition, said Allen's letter to Karzai was meant to reaffirm his commitment to investigate the incidents and make sure that the right protective measures are in place to prevent Afghan civilians from being killed or wounded in the future.
Karzai has long complained about the number of civilians killed in the crossfire during military operations against militants.
A recent report by the United Nations said the number of Afghan civilians killed in war-related violence rose 15 percent in the first half of this year. The U.N. said 1,462 Afghan civilians lost their lives in the first six months of the year compared with 1,271 in the same period of 2010.
In an incident early Tuesday, Afghan and coalition troops captured an al-Qaida operative in Surkh Rod district of Nangarhar province in eastern Afghanistan, NATO said. The coalition said two individuals who displayed hostility toward the joint force were killed and a third suspected insurgent was detained.
Gulam Sakhi, a relative of the two killed, claimed they were not insurgents.
"They were ordinary laborers," he said. "We have no link with al-Qaida."
Separately, a tribal leader and former jihad commander was shot and killed by the Taliban militants in eastern Afghanistan, according to Wardak provincial governor's office.
Milam Aziziullah, who also was member of the Jaghatu district council, was killed as he was driving home Monday afternoon.
"Azizullah's death is a big loss for Wardak people," Wardak provincial governor Mohammad Halim Fedawi said. "He was a commander during jihad and fought against the Soviets and was at the service of the local people as a tribal leader."

Flames NewsFlames Home > News
Flames Cruise Past Highlanders, 10-3
With the win, the Flames move to 4-3 in Big South action and 20-9 overall on the year. The win was the 1,000 victory in the 37-year history of the Liberty program. For the second consecutive contest, each of the nine Flames in the starting line-up had at least one hit in the game. The Highlanders fall to 4-3 in conference play and 13-14 overall.
Teufel runs his record to 6-1 on the season. The senior left-hander allowed three runs on eight hits over eight innings of work. He struck out 10 and walked one, retiring the last nine batters he faced. His strikeout total eclipses his former career mark of nine, which he has reached three times.
Liberty batted around to open the contest, plating five runs on five hits and two errors in the top of the first. Center fielder Curran Redal walked and moved to second on a one-out single by third baseman Tyler Bream. Catcher Nathan Thompson followed with a single to bring home Redal with the first run of the game. When the throw on Thompson's single back into the infield went to home plate, Bream moved to third and later scored on a sacrifice fly by shortstop Matt Williams for a 2-0 advantage.
After second baseman P.J. Jimenez bounced a two-out single through the left side of the infield, designated hitter Jeff Jefferson doubled into the left-center field gap to plate another run for a 3-0 Liberty edge. Right fielder Michael Robertson then legged out an infield single, allowing Jimenez to score. A fielding error by Brett Highlander shortstop Brett Mollenhauer on a grounder by Trey Wimmer permitted Jefferson to come home with the final run of the uprising for a 5-0 lead.
Radford got onto the scoreboard in the second inning. With runners on second and third and one out, Mollenhauer lifted a sacrifice fly to center field to deliver the first Highlander run of the contest. Center fielder Tyren Rivers followed with a run-scoring single to make it, 5-2, Flames.
In the third, the two squads traded unearned runs. With one out, Jimenez tripled to the right field corner and plated a run on a two-out fielding error by third baseman Matt Mack in the top of the inning. In the bottom of the frame, right fielder Matt Hillsinger reached on a fielding error by Teufel and moved all the way to third base, as the pitcher's throw was errant. Two batters later, Hillsinger scored on a ground ball by left fielder Raphael Turner, trimming the Liberty lead to 6-3.
The Flames extended their lead in the fifth inning with three more runs. Williams led off the frame with a single and moved to third on a one-out double, ripped past the third base bag by Jefferson. Robertson followed with a double off the right-center field wall, cashing in both runners. After moving to third on a ground out, Robertson gave Liberty a 9-3 advantage, scoring on an infield single by Redal.
Liberty added a run in the ninth on a sacrifice fly by Casey Brown, who entered the game in the top of the eighth inning, for the final score of 10-3.
Radford starter Aerik Taylor falls to 2-1 on the season. He was roughed up for nine runs on 11 hits over five innings. He struck out one and walked one.
Jimenez, who has multi-hit games in seven of his last eight contests, had three hits to lead the Flames. Williams, Jefferson and Robertson each had two hits apiece. Robertson also had three RBIs. Hillsinger and Cook each had two hits for the Highlanders.
Liberty and Radford will meet again tomorrow in the middle game of their conference series at RU Baseball Field. Game time is scheduled for 2 p.m.

Who the hell are these guys? Was the republican party in a coma on election day, 2012 or did they think that they were in a time warp and back in 1980 during the dawn of the Ronald Reagan fantasyland? Either way, they are acting against the interests of the American people. The president won the election! The picked up seats in the house and in the senate! The republicans lost. They lost on their platform. They lost on their candidates. They lost on their philosophy.
Plan B......Is this Speaker Boehner's idea of legislative morning after contraception? Remember, Mr. Boehner, that was another area that you had your collective backsides whipped on during the past election cycle. Ms. Fluke stood up to Rush Limbaugh and then to your republican congress and became an American heroine for women's rights. That disqualifies your party from using morning after contraception. You have to bring this tax negotiation to term.
Plan B......Is this anything like plan 9 from outer space? That, like your plan, was one of the worst concepts in history. At least that movie had Bela Lugosi {in his last role} staring through the curtains of the space ship and allowed us to laugh hysterically at how bad it was. We can't laugh at your plan B because it isn't funny. You are holding our country hostage along with your gang of alien idiots who obviously can't read or remember. We will all remember that and make sure you stay a minority party for the next century if we have to.
Plan B.....Is this a precursor to plan C or plan D or even plan E? That sounds like the act of a desperate man trying his hardest to keep his head above water while the eddy of history takes him down. Your tea party right, your money grubbing corporate masters, and your religious right wing are pulling the republicans to their doom.
Stop already with the plans. Sit down and work with the president. Bring the deal that the majority of Americans want to the floor of the house. Allow an up or down vote. If the far right of your party won't vote for that American mandate, let them get that vote on the record. At least when you go down in flames, you will go down as a patriot, not as a pandering manipulator who is willing to shoot the nation in the back for the satisfaction of being reelected speaker of the house. A hollow victory indeed. Burn down the house to live in it's ashes. Not very bright.

College of Liberal Arts
Law and Society
Students majoring in law and society are concerned with the sociological examination of the etiology, distribution and control of crime and other deviant behaviors. Study entails the use of sociological concepts and methods to measure and analyze crime and deviance and to examine dimensions of the criminal justice system and other systems of social control. The program provides a basic foundation for students interested in pursuing careers in human service and law enforcement. The major also provides a strong foundation for students who will pursue graduate work in sociology, law, criminology and criminal justice.
Students working toward a degree in sociology examine a variety of forms of social organization and the composition and behavior of human groups and ways in which these groups affect individuals. Class sequences include study of social inequality, criminology and social deviance, family, health and aging, politics and economy, religion, and social survey and other methods. With the proper selecton of electives and related areas, students are prepared for careers in actuarial science, labor relations, urban planning, management analysis, market research, personnel work and public relations.

BERLIN (Oct. 18)
Berlin's and Germany's last Denazification Court of Appeals increased from $8,200 to $12,000 a fine imposed upon Dr. Karl Genzke, former chief of the SS Medical Corps, whom an American military tribunal less than then years ago sentenced to penal servitude for life for cruel pseudo scientific tests to which he subjected concentration camp inmates.
A small town physician, Genzken joined the Nazi Party as early as 1926 and eventually rose to the rank of a lieutenant general in the SS. He was found guilty in 1947 of barbarous spotted fever experiments on helpless human guinea pigs, but in 1954 received a parole. At his Denazification Court trial last year, he was given an $8,200 fine and barred from participating in elections, holding public office or drawing a government pension.
In Bonn, two SS concentration camp guards notorious for their brutality have been indicted, almost a year after they were returned to Germany by the Soviet Union. "Iron Gustav" Sorge and "Revolver Bill" Schubert, the former an SS lieutenant and the latter an SS sergeant, were among the most sadistic torturers and killers in the Oranienburg, Esterwege, Sachsenhausen and Riga concentration camps. It is expected that witnesses can be found for hundreds of murder, manslaughter and aggravated assault charges.

世界の電気メーター市場:2015年 第2版
Electricity Meter Report 2015 Ed 2
|StatPlan Energy Limited
|英文 416 Pages
※ このページに掲載されている内容は最新版と異なる場合があります。詳細はお問い合わせください。
2 Trends lead the Meter Market
Electricity meter sales will top 173 million meters globally in 2015. After four years flatlining the race is on and sales will accelerate in 2016. Global sales excluding China will increase 22% from 2015 to 2020. Twenty years ago 99% of the world's meter stock was electromechanical, today it is 66% and this will be down to 44% by 2020. 29% of European LV meters were AMI in 2014 and this is predicted to reach 64% by 2020.
The United States market has slowed down following the end of the fiscal stimulus. The long awaited smart meter expansion is beginning in Europe and the Middle East. South America will follow with smart meters and prepay-ment meters. In 2015 smart meters amounted for 35.4% of low voltage (LV) meter sales, and this will rise to 45.7% in 2020. The market for smart meters is taking off but some planned schedules may be overly ambitious , while other deployments will be completed before 2020.
A new and escalating trend is prepayment metering (PPM), an old technology with a new twist. In 2015 PPM sales were 11.2% of LV meter sales outside China. This will rise to 14.9% in 2020, an increase of one third in five years.
PPM provides an intermediate solution to the chronic problem of energy theft in Asia, especially the Indian sub-content, sub-Saharan Africa and South America. In some African countries only 50% of electricity generated is paid for; half is not even billed to the distribution companies and another half is stolen by the consumers; PPMs are the preferred solution. Indonesia, the fourth largest population in the world is well into the largest pan-national deployment of PPMs, as is Mexico. Egypt announced in August 2015 the can-cellation of a smart meter tender and substituted a RFT for 3 million PPMs.
Energy theft is the one of the main reasons for deploying smart meters. Smart meters with prepaid- and post-paid functionality are available. How will PPMs mesh with smart meters, competition or enhancement?
Among manufacturers of meters a new trend is increasing. Asian and African companies are buying established European meter companies to spearhead a drive into global markets; one such acquirer is now global No 4.
The author of the StatPlan Electricity Meter Report is Euan Blauvelt, who has 20 years experience in research-ing the meter industry and markets. Before founding Statplan Energy Ltd he was founder and Research Direc-tor of ABS Energy Research, which published six editions of the ABS Meter Report between 2000 and 2010. In this time he has built up a wealth of knowledge of the metering world, its technologies and global markets. The Stat-Plan Meter Report builds on this experience and introduces new dimensions in the breadth of the analysis and forecasting, both short term and long term.

Saturday is a day for the dogs.
The fourth annual Barktoberfest is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Lions Club Park in Killeen, and recreation superintendant Sara Davy said it's "fun for everyone."
"It's a day to honor your pets and give them a day at the park," she said. "There are so many events for children and residents, but this one is for the dogs."
Activities scheduled throughout the day include dog demonstrations, a bark walk, open dog swim and off-leash play.
Davy said the annual "pooch pageant" includes new awards this year for best "pooch smooch" along with best trick, best costume and the owner-dog look-alike contest.
"This event has grown every year since 2010 when it began," she said. "It's a great way for owners to enjoy a day with their dogs."
There will be free goody bags for attendees, vendors and door prizes given away throughout the event.
Local shelters will be on-hand with pet adoption information.
Davy said about 200 to 300 people attend the event each year with about 150 dogs.
The event is free and open to the public. Davy said registration for events can be made at the gate.
"This is just a great, fun event," she said. "It's fun for owners and their dogs, and we have arts and crafts for the kids. Everyone has a good time, especially the dogs."

A year later, the volume isn't merely dialled down; the thing has been smashed to its constituent parts and buried out back.
Hardly anyone with a reputation to defend is picking the Toronto Blue Jays to be anything other than an also-ran in the American League East, baseball's division of death – where the World Series defending-champion Boston Red Sox could be in a dog fight for a playoff spot.
That's okay, it's easier to be the underdog than the lead dog.
And nobody ever got anywhere by accepting all was lost on the first day of the voyage – the Jays remain an outwardly confident group.
"I feel good about our team … this year has to be better," said shortstop Jose Reyes, the statement-of-intent trade acquisition from the winter of 2012, whose first year in Toronto was derailed by an April ankle injury.
That's not to say that Reyes is in tip-top form, he sat out the final week of spring training with a tender hamstring, but successfully tested it on artificial turf during a two-game set at Montreal's Olympic Stadium.
"I don't want to say it's 100 per cent, but it's good enough. I just need to control myself a little bit running-wise," Reyes said this weekend.
On Sunday, the team said that closer Casey Janssen would start the season on the disabled list with an abdominal strain, meaning Sergio Santos take over his job for the time being (catcher Erik Kratz was recalled from Triple A). Jays fans are left to hope dark clouds aren't massing again.
But hey, it's the first week of a new season, there's no more appropriate time to suspend one's cynicism and negativity.
Toronto opens the season against the mighty Tampa Bay Rays – no bets on whether the home team will manage to draw as many fans in the opening four-game set as the 96,350 that the Jays and New York Mets packed into Montreal's Big O on the weekend.
Sure, the Jays' pitching rotation is held together with binder twine and chewing gum, yes, they have a bunch of fragile players.
But things can't possibly be as bad again as they were last year, right?
Reyes and centre fielder Colby Rasmus both missed extended stretches, as did B.C.-born third baseman Brett Lawrie (out for 55 games, in all).
"I think everybody's ready to start walking the walk ... everyone is comfortable with every one now. Last year was about establishing a little chemistry, and that's already there this year," Lawrie said.
Over the weekend, general manager Alex Anthopoulos argued that with the Jays' core – led by power-hitting outfielder Jose Bautista – there's no reason to doubt Toronto can't make some noise in the AL East.
"It didn't work out last year, but we're definitely built to win now," he said.
Anthopolous didn't need to add: as long as we stay healthy and our pitching is up to snuff.
Now, about those arms.
Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey's reliability as far as innings-pitched is unassailable, and if the Jays' opening-day starter can rekindle his second-half form from a year ago he'll be an effective ace.
Similarly, lefty Mark Buerhle can be expected to continue to hungrily chew up innings.
After that it could get complicated.
Manager John Gibbons has pencilled Drew Hutchison in behind Dickey.
The 23-year-old hasn't been seen around these parts since the summer of 2012, when he left the field clutching his elbow. His velocity hit mid-90s in spring training, suggesting he is all the way back from ligament-replacement surgery.
"You can't make up lost ground, so you have to just let it go … all you can change is what's going to happen from here on out," he said.
Hutchison looked good in his last spring start, giving up one hit in 5 2/3 innings. Fourth starter Brandon Morrow looked even better, striking out eight New York Mets in his final spring training start on Saturday in Montreal.
"We're confident in what we have … I think we have more depth than we did last year," said Morrow, who made only 10 starts in 2013 because of a forearm issue.
Fifth starter Dustin McGowan, he of the knee and shoulder surgeries – he has only pitched more than 150 winnings once since 2005 – can be a significant contributor if he can stay healthy.
Again, the optimist's view: Doesn't every pitching staff in baseball have to deal with a bunch of guys who have had Tommy John surgery and high-mileage shoulders?
With a lineup widely acknowledged to be their strongest since the World Series glory days of the early 1990s, the Jays stumbled to a 74-88 record in 2013, last in the AL East.
Given they share divisional space with the Rays, Red Sox, the deep-pocketed New York Yankees and resurgent Baltimore Orioles, pretty much everything will have to go right for the Jays to grab a playoff spot.
That rarely happens over 162 games, but this is the one day of the year where everyone is allowed to believe it might.Report Typo/Error

It's been a fun and fizzy season over at Vista's Moonlight Amphitheatre.
All summer long, the company has staged feel-good productions, from "Legally Blonde" to "Fiddler on the Roof" to "Anything Goes" — happy musicals that complement the outdoor theater's casual, friendly vibe.
But as summer turns to fall and Moonlight puts on its final show of the season, the mood becomes much, much darker, thanks to a "Demon Barber of Fleet Street."
"Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street"
When: 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays (gates open at 6 p.m.); no show Oct. 3. Through Oct. 6.
Where: Moonlight Amphitheatre, Brengle Terrace Park, 1200 Vale Terrace Drive, Vista
Tickets: $15 to $50
Telephone: (760) 724-2110
Online: moonlightstage.com
Incoming artistic director Steven Glaudini directs an ambitious production of Stephen Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd," a Victorian tale filled with blood, gore and madness.
This musical thriller is about Sweeney Todd, a barber set to avenge the men who raped his wife, and eventually he targets most anyone who sits in his chair. Sweeney Todd teams up with the pie maker, Mrs. Lovett, who turns the victims into meat for her pies.
It's a grisly subject, backed by an equally creepy book of songs that at times requires the ensemble to scream disturbing lyrics like "City on fire! City on fire!" Add to that realistic bloody costumes, eerie smoke that always seems to be swirling and bone-chilling music, and it's definitely not your typical night at Moonlight.
All that darkness, however, never completely settles in at a place known for lighter, family-friendly productions, which may explain why Wednesday's opening production had plenty of open seats.
But that doesn't mean the show's not entertaining.
"Sweeney Todd" has an excellent cast, including Moonlight regular Bets Malone, who steals the show as the sassy, devilish Mrs. Lovett. Up until she appears on the stage, it's not clear that the musical is also a dark comedy. Malone's delivery is quick and witty, and she shines brightest when she performs "A Little Priest."
Because the musical was adapted into a popular movie in 2007, it's hard not to compare Robert J. Townsend's Sweeney Todd to Johnny Depp's version. And once you get over that, it's clear Townsend is moving and powerful and extremely brooding. But he doesn't quite inhabit the part in the same way as his co-stars Malone and Randall Dodge, who plays Judge Turpin so convincingly that he got booed when he took his curtain call.
The production also benefits from creative stage design, which is sparse but constructed to be able to send victims down a trap door, a trick that never got old during the three-hour show. It definitely helped make up for the odd, pale makeup that had most of the cast looking like vampire ghosts.
"Sweeney Todd" has been around long enough to have its own set of fans, and they will no doubt enjoy the large-scale feel that Moonlight brings. But even the amphitheater's regulars expecting a quality night at the theater will still find it, buried in guts and gore, an evening well spent.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Supervalu/Cub Foods Facing Meat Mislabeling Lawsuit
MINNEAPOLIS - Two consumers filed a class action lawsuit against Supervalu Inc. based here, alleging that the company's Cub Foods division systematically mislabeled regular USDA choice beef, and sold it at a higher price for the past five years.
MINNEAPOLIS - Two consumers filed a class action lawsuit against Supervalu Inc. based here, alleging that the company's Cub Foods division systematically mislabeled regular USDA choice beef, and sold it at a higher price for the past five years.
The lawsuit -- filed in Anoka County by the Vadnais Heights, Minn.-based Consumer Justice Center on behalf of plaintiffs Michael Olson and John Wylde -- alleged Supervalu's Cub Food Stores routinely mislabeled choice beef as genuine "Black Angus," a breed-specific, premium priced type of beef that is largely regarded as being superior to regular cuts of beef.
The suit alleged that Cub Foods engaged in a violation of Minnesota's uniform deceptive trade practices and unlawful trade practices laws; consumer fraud and false advertising statutes and fraud by omission.
The lawsuit received considerable media coverage in the local market, where all major networks extensively covered the story, according to the plaintiffs' attorney, who said two meat cutters who worked at several Cub Foods locations claim the mislabeling practice was rampant and dated back at least five years.
"It is our firm belief, based on confidences assured to us by our butcher sources, that Cub would receive choice beef in boxes and then re-label it as Rancher's Preferred Black Angus beef," attorney Thomas J. Lyons, Jr. of the Consumer Justice Center told Progressive Grocer.
"It's an easy enough matter to get to the heart of," said Lyons, noting the audit trails in place for record-keeping and verification in accord with the USDA's provisions for recognizing and providing specification and classification for Black Angus through a variety of bulletins, schedules and other mechanisms.
The Cub Foods meat-cutters who brought the alleged practice to light were not identified and were not named in the complaint.
Although Supervalu did not respond to requests by Progressive Grocer for further information, Cub issued a statement saying, "We absolutely stand behind the integrity of our products. Fundamental to the success of our business is providing customers with the quality they expect. If, at any time, that standard is not met, it will be corrected immediately to ensure our responsibility to our customers is intact."
Prior to the filing of complaint, former employees of Cub Foods brought the practice of improperly labeling and selling non-Black Angus Beef as genuine Black Angus beef to the attention of Cub Food and Supervalu executives, according to the suit, which further contends that when the former employee's concerns were ignored and the practices continued they contacted The Consumer Justice Center.
The plaintiffs alleged this mislabeling practice by Cub Foods has gone on for several years. Lyons said class action status is being sought because there are so many potential plaintiffs that allowing each to bring separate actions would clog the court system for years. The suit further alleged that "thousands of tons of mislabeled beef has been sold and that Black Angus beef often commands a price of about $1 per pound more than regular USDA Choice beef."
Supervalu, parent company of Jewel-Osco, Acme Markets, Shaw's and Save-A-Lot, among others, ranks third among the nation's biggest supermarket chains after Kroger Co. and Safeway Inc. In 1980, the company purchased Cub Foods, which currently operates 54 stores in the Twin Cities market.

Molli Serrano, known for her inspiring commitment to athleticism and motherhood in the face of life-threatening pancreatic cancer, has succumbed to the disease at the age of 40.
The Florida mom passed on Monday according to an obituary in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
"She was a phenomenal athlete. Her peers in the athletic community loved her and admired her for her strength and willingness to work very hard," her husband Juan Serrano said. "She was an A-plus mom and even better than that, a first-class wife."
Serrano's struggle with pancreatic cancer was documented last year on Everyone Has a Story. She also appeared on TODAY last year along with her sister and a friend (video above).
She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2011 after a friend adivsed her to get an MRI to investigate stomach pains she was experiencing.
She underwent surgery, losing numerous organs. Despite this, she returned to her rigorous training routine for the Ironman competition.
Her strength and determination became an inspiration to her family and friends.
"My mother and I said it, every time we saw her, we were amazed. You would think that we would have to lift her up, and she was the one, when we were with her, she lifted us up," said her sister Nikki Kantis.
She competed in the Ironman World Championship last November, and was considered one of the best amateur triathletes in the country.
Aside from her husband, Molli Serrano is survived by the couple's twin 9-year-old children, Nicholas and Isabella.

Johnny Tapia, a prizefighter who won world titles in three weight classes in a chaotic life that included jail, struggles with mental illness, suicide attempts and five times being declared clinically dead as a result of drug overdoses, was found dead at his home in Albuquerque on Sunday. He was 45.
The Albuquerque police said an autopsy would be done in the next few days. Foul play is not suspected.
Tapia, who was 5 feet 6 inches, said the raw fury he displayed in winning his world titles came from the horrific memory of seeing his mother being kidnapped and murdered when he was 8. He said he saw every opponent as his mother's killer.

GSA Takes Information to Thousands of Librarians
June 17, 1998
Contact: April Kaufman
WASHINGTON -- In an effort to make it easier to find your way through the maze of government information available, several organizations within the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) will come together for the 117th Annual Conference of the American Library Association at the Washington Convention Center, June 27 - 30.
GSA anticipates reaching approximately 15,000 librarians from across America at this year's convention through "Your Search Made Easy," an exhibit on ways to help locate information more rapidly. Available to discuss programs and answer questions will be GSA experts from the Consumer Information Center, Federal Information Center, Federal Procurement Data Center, Federal Domestic Assistance Catalog, GSA Library, Emerging Technology Center, and the Federal Supply Service.
Together, these organizations respond to approximately a half million inquiries every month.
"The opportunity to reach so many librarians is valuable because it gives GSA the ability to reach the people who are often the 'frontline' in an individual's search for information," said Jerry Varner of GSA's Federal Procurement Data Center. "By informing the nation's librarians of the information and services GSA provides, we will be able to help millions of people each year."
Varner said that GSA's Consumer Information Center is a valuable source of information on Federal government brochures covering everything from "How to Give Medicine to Children" and a "Guide to Health Insurance for People with Medicare" to "Buying a Used Car."
Scheduled to speak at GSA's booth are:
Saturday, June 27
James Zawada, Information Manager, Consumer Information Center, 9:00 a.m. - noon
Warren Snaider, Federal Information Center Director and Developer of the Federal
Clearinghouse, 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Sunday, June 28
Jerry Varner, Marketing Specialist, Federal Procurement Data Center, 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Monday, June 29
Jim Adams, CD-ROM Developer, Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance and Federal
Assistance Awards Data System, 9:00 a.m. - noon
Marlene Shipley, Communications Officer, Federal Information Center, 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Tuesday, June 30
Jacqueline Garrett, Information Analyst, Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance,

2008 Ford Escape Hybrid Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
An abnormal noise may develop from the transfer case. At this time parts are not available to repair internal damage to this type of transfer case, replacement is the only option. It is not uncommon for irregular tire wear to cause a similar noise. Diagnoses should be performed to confirm the actual cause of the driveline noise. Tire noise can be reduced by rotating the tires at least every 5000 miles.
The 2008-2012 Ford Escape Hybrid with manual temperature and fan controls may have problems with the the blower motor only blowing air on certain settings. Most commonly the fan will only run on the highest setting. This is a well documented problem, and is caused by a failing blower motor resistor.
Correcting the problem is straight forward, and requires replacement of the small resistor. The resistor is normally found behind the glove box, next to the blower motor.
The 2008-2012 Ford Escape Hybrid with automatic climate control may have a problem with frequent fan speed changes when using the heater or air conditioner. Normally, the fan speed changes only to maintain a selected temperature, but when the fan speed changes frequently and needlessly, there is an issue with the fan speed control unit.
The fan speed control unit, sometimes erroneously called the blower motor resister, regulates the speed for the blower motor in order to maintain the temperature set by the driver. When it fails, the fan will run at random settings, and the climate control will be inaccurate.
Note: this does not affect the temperature of the air that comes from the vents, it affects the amount of air that comes from the vents.
The repair is simple, and quick. The control unit is located behind the glove box in most models, and removal and installation takes only minutes.
Also note: this only applies to vehicles with single or dual automatic climate control.
The Check Engine Light may illuminate with code P0442, P0456, and/or P1450. These codes are related to the EVAP system. Our technicians tell us that if no EVAP system faults are confirmed, updated software is available for the powertrain control module (PCM) which should correct this concern.
The hybrid models have a coolant pump that cools control electronics. The pump can fail or spin slowly, which causes a Check Engine Light to illuminate and complete engine shut down.
Hard driving conditions, including quick starts from a stop and hard acceleration up hills, can cause the rear motor mount to crack. The broken motor mount needs to be replaced, otherwise damage to the hybrid drive system may result.


text: An upstate New York mother is accused of hiring strippers for her son's 16th birthday party late last year, according to the Saratoga County District Attorney. Judy Viger, 33, of Gansevoort is charged with five counts of endangering the welfare of a child, District Attorney James Murphy said in a statement. The parents of five teens who attended the party reported the presence of strippers to police. The complaining parents found out that the strippers had been at the November 3 bowling party through photos posted on Facebook. The parents took the pictures to the South Glens Falls police, who then started taking witness statements, the district attorney's statement says. http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/20/us/new-york-strippers-teen-party/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

People interested in helping guide how wildlife is managed in Utah are being sought to fill two upcoming vacancies on the Utah Wildlife Board and positions on the state's wildlife Regional Advisory Councils (RACs).
Del Brady, of Vernal, and Ernie Perkins, of Layton, will complete their six-year terms as Utah Wildlife Board members in August. The board sets rules and regulations regarding, fishing, hunting and wildlife management in the state.
The departures leave a vacancy to be filled by someone from northeastern Utah and someone from anywhere outside of central Utah because there are already two board members from that area.
The board meets six or seven times a year, and members are encouraged to attend wildlife Regional Advisory Council meetings when possible.
Applications are due by March 15 and will be reviewed by the Utah Wildlife Board Nominating Committee, which comprises 11 people appointed by the governor. Recommendations will be forwarded to Gov. Gary Herbert, who will make the final appointments.
Visit the Division of Wildlife Resources Web page at wildlife.utah.gov/dwr/ and look for the Wildlife Board section for more details and application information.
State officials are also encouraging people to apply for positions on RACs. These five councils in regions statewide listen to wildlife-management proposals from Division of Wildlife Resources biologists and then hear public input on the proposal before voting on their own recommendations.
Those recommendations are passed to the Utah Wildlife Board for consideration of final approval. Visit the Division of Wildlife Resources Web page and look for the Regional Advisory Council section for more details and application information.

Taillon embraces morning start in win
Bucs prospect throws seven scoreless, lowers ERA to 1.00
By Benjamin Hill / MLB.com | April 17, 2013 2:07 PM ET
The last time that Jameson Taillon toed the rubber for the Altoona Curve, he established a career high with 10 strikeouts. On Wednesday afternoon, MLB.com's No. 15 overall prospect burnished his professional resume even further.
Taillon scattered two hits and three walks while striking out six over seven scoreless innings, improving to 2-1 on the season as the Double-A Curve held on for a 4-3 victory over the Richmond Flying Squirrels.
This marked the fourth occasion in the 21-year-old's career that he lasted seven innings, and the first at the Double-A level. Taillon also exceeded the 100-pitch threshold for the first time, finishing the day with a palindromic 101.
"I was pretty comfortable out there, and that comes down to having a gameplan with the coaches and the catcher and then putting it in action," said Taillon, who has allowed just two earned runs over 18 innings this season. "[Catcher Charles Cutler] and I were on the same page all day -- I wasn't shaking him off much at all."
Nonetheless, Taillon got off to a bit of a shaky start. The 6-foot-6 native of Florida allowed two runners to reach base in both the first and third innings, three of them on walks. He acknowledged that he "fell out of the zone" and was "still feeling out my delivery" during this stretch of the contest, but wasn't about to blame that on the anomalous game time. The day's action at Altoona's People's Natural Gas Field began at 10:30 a.m. with the completion of Tuesday's suspended game, with Andrew Lambo winning it for the Curve with an 11th inning walk-off single. About 30 minutes later, Taillon took the mound.
"After my first two years in pro ball, I'm used to that kind of stuff. You get thrown into those sorts of situations all the time," he said. "I remember one start I had in Daytona that was game two of a rain-delayed doubleheader. It was 10:30 at night and I'm out there stretching as fireworks are going off between games."
During his final four innings on Wednesday, Taillon was nearly unhittable, retiring 12 of the 13 batters he faced.
"As the game went on, I picked up my pace and intensity. I started pounding the zone and was able to power downhill with my fastball," he said. "I don't know if I'd ever gotten to 100 pitches before, but I was prepared to do it. We played a pretty long game yesterday [before it was suspended], so I really wanted to go out there and eat up some innings. That's something I take pride in -- to be decently efficient and make the most of my pitches."
With Taillon finally out of the ballgame, the Flying Squirrels mounted a late comeback attempt. Javier Herrera's three-run homer off of Nathan Baker with one out in the eighth pulled Richmond to within one, but Jeff Inman recorded the final five outs without incident en route to his first save of the season.
The game's early start time meant that the Curve players would have plenty of time to savor their victory, but Taillon was planning on keeping his celebrations low-key.
"I'm just going to put on some gym shorts and a t-shirt, and then my roommates and I are going to pop in Django and hang out for a while," he said.

Coburn's Newt Gingrich Problem: Oklahoma Senator Knows Too Much about Former Speaker
Gingrich, of course, is running for the Republican presidential nomination. According to some polls, he's running well in Iowa and South Carolina.
But Newt is problem for many Republicans, including Coburn.
Why such antipathy? As Sen. Coburn explained earlier this month, Coburn served in the U.S. House when Gingrich was the House speaker. That experience, Coburn has admitted, has left him unimpressed by Gingrich's leadership skills.
"I just found his leadership lacking," Coburn said recently.
That may be an understatement. Beyond leadership, Gingrich has a laundry list of misjudgments, ethical problems and moral failings, all of which are serious enough to turn off voters.
Nevertheless, a recent SoonerPoll found Gingrich the top choice of Oklahoma Republicans. We don't have a dog in this fight, but Oklahoma voters might be well advised to listen to Sen. Coburn.

If you really want to get the skinny on Newt, you should check out Tom Coburn's book, Breech of Trust. I'm surprised that this book has not been publicized more during the election. It's both a great book, and a great reason why I won't vote for Newt.

The cell substance is irritable, and is endowed with the power of contractility.
Galvanism was tried without the patient showing any contractility.
The long-continued tension of a muscle enfeebles its action, and eventually destroys its contractility.
The contractility of the nerves was so strong that it could not be taken from him.
Some authorities have thought their animality proved by the high degree of contractility which their tissues evince.
It is produced by a loss of contractility of the intestinal wall.
It is said to be due more to a loss of contractility of the bowel than to the narrowing of its lumen.
We will close with a comparison between Glisson's irritability, and Bichat's contractility.
In some of them, with improved nutrition, regeneration takes place with a return of contractility.
Voluntary muscle loses quickly its contractility when a solution of potash is injected into its vessels.
1706, from French contractile, from Latin contract-, past participle stem of contrahere (see contract (n.)). Related: Contractility. Contractile vacuole is from 1877.
contractile con·trac·tile (kən-trāk'təl, -tīl')
Capable of contracting or causing contraction, as a tissue.

Anti-Abortion Michele Bachmann Claims Republicans "Want Women To Have Their Own Choices"
Senator Kristen Gillibrand gets the Girl, You've Got Bigger Stones Than Me Award of the week for going head-to-head on "Meet The Press" yesterday with none other than Rep. Michele Bachmann. (Rep. Bachmann, let me remind you, refers to emergency contraception as "the morning-after abortion pill" thus conflating it with abortion, suggests the HPV vaccine can make children become mentally retarded, jokes about so-called "ex-gay" therapy and does not allow her daughters to ask boys on dates.) Somehow Sen. Gillibrand managed not to reach through the TV screens and shake her … even when Bachmann said Republicans want women to "make their own choices."
Although the moderator was trying to get the women to discuss the recent Ann Romney/stay-at-home mom/Hilary Rosen kerfluffle, Sen. Gillibrand pivoted the conversation to Republican attacks on birth control and abortion.
"The Republican Party of the House of Representatives have made it part of their agenda that they want bosses to tell women what medicines they are eligible to take. Nothing could be more insulting. Ninety-nine percent of America's women take birth control in their lifetime. This is a debate that has long been settled."
Rep. Bachmann then interrupted. "That's a false portrayal," she said. "What we want is women to be able to make their own choices. We want women to make choices." (And, no, it's not an false portrayal. There was a bill introduced by Republicans in Arizona — not the federal House of Representatives — that would have allowed employers to force women to prove they were prescribed birth control for medical reasons.)
Sen. Gillibrand then interjected, "Not when your boss tells you, you can't."
And then Rep. Bachmann responded:
"We want health savings accounts and the ability to be able to make their own choices in health care. You see, that's the lie that happens under Obamacare. The president of the United States effectively becomes a health care dictator. Women don't need anyone to tell them what to do on health care. We want women to have their own choices, their own money. That way they can make their own choices for their future on their own bodies."
Republicans want women to "make their own choices for their future on their own bodies"? That's why frontrunner Mitt Romney said last month he would "get rid of" Planned Parenthood? Why recently-dropped-out GOP candidate Rick Santorum suggested pregnant rape victims "make the best out of a bad situation"? Why an all-male panel was convened before Congress to discuss birth control in health care reform?
Glad we're clear on that one.
While I understand the argument Bachmann was making in the larger scope of the health care reform discussion, it is beyond laughable to me that she of all people would co-opt the language of "choice." She is anti-abortion, anti-morning after pill, and pro-abstinence only education. (And, not to mention anti-gay and anti-gay marriage, which is another issue entirely!) I mean, crikey. When Michele Bachmann says Republicans want women to have choices, she means "choices" like the ones she believes are moral — which is no choice at all.

" Brand: Fabulous Fudge Company / Type: Fudge "
The Fabulous Fudge Factory are a small, award-winning company who make fudge and coconut ice that is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
This is a review of their very yummy coconut ice!
It can be bought online or from health food shops like Holland and Barrett and occasionally supermarkets and sweets shops have it too. The price usually ranges between £3 and £4 so it's not cheap but it's definitely worth it. It's one of life's little luxuries!
It's dairy-free and doesn't contain any cochineal food colouring like some coconut ices which is why it's suitable for veggies, vegans and those who are lactose intolerant.
When you open the bag you can smell the coconut ice but it's not over-powering. It's cut into blocks, the shape you'd expect fudge to be. They are fairly solid with a bit of crumbling at the edges.
Now for the taste! As with all coconut ice, it's very sweet and it has the right balance of chewy-ness and crumbliness. It can be a bit sickly so only those with an extremely sweet tooth would be able to finish a whole bag in one go. It has a slightly different taste to the normal coconut ice as raspberry flavouring is used in the recipe. I'm not sure if I can really taste them but it's certainly a different taste experience to the usual stuff.
Each bag contains 200g which is enough to share or for one person to nibble on over a few days. You seem to get about 10-15 pieces in each bag.
I really love this stuff and I have to resist the urge to buy a bag every time I visit Holland & Barrett!
From the Fabulous Fudge Company website:
"Our Coconut Ice looks different!!
That's because not only is it suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans but it is also free of nasty colourings. The pink part is flavoured with a special recipe made in Italy using raspberries. You can taste the raspberry flavour coming through."
Sugar, Glucose Syrup, Coconut, Raspberry puree, Colours Beetroot, Anthocyanin, Flavouring Caramel.

When it launched in the US and Canada in 2011, the Nest Learning Thermostat was one of the first devices to make home automation look stylish and simple. Along with other devices like Belkin WeMo switches and the Philips Hue light bulbs, it helped persuade the public that a smart, internet-o'-things home could be cool. It has now arrived in the UK, but it's no longer breaking ground: we already have Honeywell's EvoHome system, which lets you control radiators individually, British Gas's app-controlled Hive system is in over 50,000 homes, and Tado uses similar person-detection to turn the heating off when you go out.
warning: the following passage contains the phrase 'knob feel'
So, what makes the Nest worth waiting for? In a word: algorithms. The thermostat senses temperature and usage data, figures out when you're home and what temperature you like, and controls your boiler accordingly. Nest says it will roll out fresh algorithms each 'heating season' (winter), and that the micro-adjustments these algorithms allow the thermostat to make will save you a chunk of money. Nest says you could save up to 29% on your heating bill, depending on where your house is and what sort of boiler and insulation you have. If you're spending the £600-£700 it now costs to heat a home per year, that means the thermostat could pay for itself within 18 months.
In two words: knob feel. It's a nice thing to stick on your wall, with a big, responsive dial that offers just the right amount of resistance when you turn it, like the volume dial on an expensive hi-fi amp. You might not think this is all that important, but if you're going to use something every day, good design (of which knob feel is a part) matters. The menu system is simple and easy to use, and the dial gives a satisfying level of control that's missing from the apps and controllers in other systems.
If you already have a Nest Protect smoke alarm and carbon monoxide (CO) detector, they'll work together; if the Protect sniffs CO, it'll tell the thermostat to turn off the boiler.
what took you so long?
Because UK homes have different tubes and wires to American ones, Nest has built a new piece of kit to allow its thermostat to perform its micro-adjusting magic on your heating. The Heat Link sits on your boiler, controlling it, and the thermostat itself can now be moved around the home on a special little stand (£29) to give it a better idea of the temperature where you are.
The thermostat (with Heat Link) can be bought as a standalone box for £179, but Nest recommends you get it professionally installed for £249, and you can get free installation if you buy the standalone box before April 8. It's available from John Lewis and B&Q, among others.

Aaron Rodgers Gets Some Much Needed Help From Hans and Franz in Hilarious State Farm Commercial
Subscribe to News Radio 1310 KLIX on
After a less than scintillating performance in the season opener against the Seahawks, Aaron Rodgers may want to think about pumping up some more.
Rodgers stars in a new State Farm 'Discount Double Check' commercial. This time, Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon dusted off their sweats and reprised their classic '90s 'Saturday Night Live' characters Hans and Franz.
Perhaps Hans and Franz could work with the Packers offensive line to bulk them up and give Rodgers more time.

Apple iPad Air vs Microsoft Surface 2
Luckily, we're able to get through a solid 8-hour work shift with heavy usage out of both of them – so there are no worries about constant recharging. Still, in our experience, we find the Surface 2 pulling out more juice from its battery. In fact, a full charge gets us up to 2 days of normal usage – whereas it's only just over a single day with the iPad Air.
It's still early in the holiday season, but you know that the competition is going to be fierce between these two prized tablets. In its attempt to try and gain ground on Apple's stranglehold, Microsoft strategically prices the Surface 2 at the base price of $450; $50 less than the iPad Air's starting price of $500. Of course, it's a great tactic that should help to shine some light on it – especially when the Surface 2 is more PC-like than your average tablet.
Meanwhile, the iPad Air is gearing up to take the holiday season by storm, despite the competition it sees from the lower priced Surface 2. Should it be scared at all? Well, not really.Donning a new design, one that's remarkably thin and lightweight, it's sure to catch some eye brows from prying shoppers who are eager to pick up a tablet. And as we've seen, it continues to prove itself as a venerable competitor – mainly due to its excellent performance and diverse apps ecosystem.
Seriously though, we can go either way with this comparison. Depending on your needs, either tablet can suffice in a number of ways – albeit, the savings is found with the Surface 2. If you're in the mood to experiment, or want something that can almost double as a laptop, the Surface 2 is a fantastic choice. If not, the obvious decision is to go with the safe route of picking up the iPad Air. Whatever decision you make, there's no arguing that they're equipped in dealing with a handful of needs.

"especially when the Surface 2 is more PC-like than your average tablet."
Actually, Microsoft made the PC tablet-like, so that when people use their tablet, they get the impression they are on a PC.
2. darkvadervip (Posts: 365; Member since: 08 Dec 2010)
Is this just the surface 2 or the pro because the pro blows the iPad air away. Can I get a motion for that
15. stealthd (unregistered)
It's also much more expensive and has much worse battery life. They're really in different categories.
3. xIJoeyBoyIx (Posts: 7; Member since: 25 Oct 2013)
I'm not a apple fan but the new ipad is a great piece of kit the look and fell is phenomenal. If only android could add more tablet optimized apps and someone like Samsung make a tablet that is made from aluminium but yet has great specs then would that only be an ipad beater but also a fantastic project. I'm just surprised that it hasn't been done yet.
6. Jason2k13 (Posts: 1302; Member since: 28 Mar 2013)
so it has to be made out of aluminium to be considered premium?
16. stealthd (unregistered)
I think it was a suggestion, not a requirement. The point is the plastic Samsung uses definitely isn't premium. Plastic can seem premium, but the slimy glossy plastic they've been using isn't it. The Note 3's texture is better.
19. xIJoeyBoyIx (Posts: 7; Member since: 25 Oct 2013)
Personally I think premium is when software and hardware and aesthetics work perfectly. The Samsung note 2014 edition is a beast of a tablet, great screen and great performance but yet still doesn't do it for be with the build quality. If I am paying over £400 for a tablet I want it to feel better in the hand. I use a nexus 10 and I still believe its the best android tablet you can buy and that's not made from aluminium. Also to answer your questions no aluminium doesn't need to be considered premium but it helps product seem more money worth.
21. Jason2k13 (Posts: 1302; Member since: 28 Mar 2013)
90% of people i see with ipads or samsung tablets uses a cover/case... they probably have the same view as you about having the "premium feeling".
7. taikucing (unregistered)
My $12 Chinese MP3 player with speaker is made of aluminium. My $5 Chinese iPod nano clone is made of aluminium. So my cheap MP3 player is premium?
You want an iPhone beater? Goophone i5S
You want an iPad clone with aluminium case? Chinese can make it.
You want someone like Samsung make a tablet that is made from aluminium? Your wish comes true --> Motorola Xoom
11. c.hack (Posts: 614; Member since: 09 Dec 2009)
What a surprise. Another droidtroll thinks his slow laggy Nexsucks with the toy camera, stuttering screen, and loads of malware can even compete. At least it finally has 4G. Too bad it has nothing else to compete.

Thank you for a fair review. They are so hard to come by, seriously.
5. MojoDojo (Posts: 102; Member since: 11 Jul 2013)
If one follow your comparison one would think that the conclusion will be to buy a Surface 2. It wins in most of the inportant comparisons between the two, and the categories it doest win in, it eqauls. Except the app ecosystem. Yet Surface 2 got 8 and Ipad Air got 9.2!!
An example of what you can do with the Surface 2:
8. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Surface 2 will start getting 9 + once it captures 10% of market share.
9. HASHTAG (unregistered)
How does market share have to do anything w/ the score it gets?
10. MojoDojo (Posts: 102; Member since: 11 Jul 2013)
Are you serious? I dont know if your comment is funny or stupid. Maybe both.
17. stealthd (unregistered)
Tablets are pretty much useless without a decent app ecosystem. Unless you're content with just using the browser and the few apps available. The surface 2's screen is also lower res, processor isn't as fast. Then there's Windows 8's still awful tablet/desktop hybrid UI. I think it's pretty clear why the Surface didn't win.
12. alaahershy (Posts: 34; Member since: 02 Jan 2013)
iPad Air ---> Who care it's on ios 7
Surface ---> I care It's 8.1
14. shammont (Posts: 32; Member since: 22 Jun 2012)
These 2 devices are pretty equal. Go with which ever gives you a warm fuzzy feeling. I personally would pick the Surface. I have a Galaxy Tab2(Android) and a Surface Pro. The Tab2 is so clunky and jerky. It is just not smooth like the Apple and Microsoft products. I would take 100 bucks for the Tab2 and it is brand new. Anyone interested let me know.
18. pookiewood (Posts: 631; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
Can't wait to get a Surface 2. Almost there!
20. sgodsell (Posts: 4735; Member since: 16 Mar 2013)
Still only one browser (Internet Explorer) on Surface 2. Not to mention a really limited app selection.
