If you ask Elizabeth Markevitch, the biggest problem currently facing the school district is a lack of consistency in management.
"Every year everything is changing," Markevitch, 54, said in a recent interview. "The teachers and the students have suffered from a lack of consistency."
The other issue that needs to be tackled: reading ability of the district's students.
"Students know a lot," Markevitch said, "but their reading ability is very low." A way to fix the problem, Markevitch continued, is to add resources and hire more teachers to improve students' reading skills.
While Markevitch said that Superintendent Mark Toback has been addressing the issue, there still needs to be "incredible, incredible improvement."
As a parent of a high school student—Markevitch's daughter is in 11th grade—the candidate has said she is happy with the programs at the high school. Her daughter is taking Advanced Placement classes, takes part in the theater program and "has excellent teachers every year."
The AP program at the high school is another area where the district needs improvement, said Markevitch, who has lived in Hoboken for the last 26 years.
Part of the success has to do with the amount of parent involvement, another issue that should be addressed by the school board, according to the candidate.
"My husband and I have spent many hours and a lot of time helping our daughter," Markevitch said. "But I know that's not possible for all parents to do."
This is not the first time that Markevitch, who is a Republican, has run for school board. In 2010, she ran with Real Results, but didn't get elected.
While she said she is campaigning in much the same way, she feels better about it this time around.
"I think it's very important to talk to as many people as possible and educating people about what's going on," she said, "we weren't able to do that enough in the last campaign."
Markevitch—together with Anthony Oland and Felice Vazquez—makes up the Move Forward ticket that is trying to take the majority of the school board from the Kids First coalition. While the two slates differ on many issues, there seems to be one area where all candidates agree: Superintendent Toback.
If elected, Markevitch said she, and her teammates, wouldn't "micro manage" Toback, indicating that that's what the current school board does.
In her professional life, Markevitch is an executive recruiter and a career adviser. She has been a frequenter of the meetings for the past few years.
When asked why people should vote for her, Markevitch said that she will advocate for the public and "listen to the community."
"I just think it's very important that when you have a great town," Markevitch said, "you have great schools."

News ČEZ bosses face charges over settlement with minority shareholders
The Ministry of Finance's special financial analytical team has prepared criminal charges against the two top figures in state controlled electricity producer ČEZ. Cases have been prepared against general manager Daniel Beneš and his deputy, Martin Novák, the ministry confirmed. The cases relate to the buyout of minority shareholders in the North Moravian regional electricity distribution company. The suspicion is that around 350 million crowns of ČEZ funds was misused in the out of court settlement with the small shareholders, some of whom were represented by the company Associated Energy. ČEZ says the settlement was approved by the board and the deal probably saved it around 700 million crowns.

Komárek to step down as head of anti-corruption unit
Milan Komárek will step down as the head of the country's anti-corruption and financial crime unit on July 31st, his superior, Police President Tomáš Tuhý, told reporters Friday. Komárek took over as head of the unit last June and oversaw the founding of team Kobra, targeting tax crimes. Before, he had worked as a regional deputy chief of police in Central Bohemia. Police President Tuhý said he respected Komárek's contribution and made clear the unit head was stepping down for personal reasons. The job will be filled in the interim by deputy head Jaroslav Vild. A successor should be found by the autumn.
Fuel tax bill voted down in lower house
The Chamber of Deputies on Friday voted anew on a bill aimed at lowering the excise duty on fuel. This time MPs voted down the proposal, which first passed in the lower house on Wednesday - to the surprise of the ruling coalition. One its members had inserted changes into the bill that lowered the tax on petrol and diesel across the board rather than just for farmers, which would have negatively impacted the state budget. After another coalition MP on Wednesday, however, challenged the result, arguing his vote had been incorrectly recorded by the electronic systém, a new vote was scheduled. The centre-right opposition, which had threatened to petition the Constitutional Court if a new vote was held, walked out of the chamber.
Fortieth Uherské Hradiště film school starts
The 40th Uherské Hradiště summer film school starts Friday with thousands of film fans expected and more than 200 short and full length films being screened. Some of the stars making appearance will be US independent film director and script writer Todd Solondz, who has won prizes at the Sundance Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival. The main guest is British director Peter Greenaway. Spanish films are one of the main themes of the summer school this year.
Czech clubs progress in Europa League qualifiers
Czech football clubs Mladá Boleslav and Slovan Liberec have cruised through to the next qualifying round of the Europa League. Mladá Boleslav beat Bosnia Heregovina club Široki Brijeg 4:0 away and Slovan Liberec put three goals past Slovak club Košice without reply at home. Both team won the first leg matches. Slovan will face Lyon in the next round with Mladá Boleslav's opponents Romanian club Giurgiu.
Kuřim affair aunt conditionally released from prison
One woman in a highly publicized Czech child abuse case known as the Kuřim affair, after the town near Brno, has been conditionally released from prison. Kateřina Mauerová was sentenced to 10 years in prison as one of the ringleaders of a six-strong group who tyrannized her two young nephews. They were kept in a cage, burnt with cigarettes, and beaten in what was described as an attempt to induce total obedience. The case only came to light by chance in 2007 when a neighbour installed a baby monitoring device which picked up images of the close circuit tv used to monitor the abused children. A national furore followed in which the accused were rumoured to be linked to various sects.
Czech parties seek to get in on Věra Jourová European Commission team
Czech parties are now seeking to get their nominees in the team likely to accompany European Commission candidate Věra Jourová to Brussels. The Christian Democrats have confirmed that they are pushing for unsuccessful European Parliament candidate Eduard Hulicius to be part of Jourová's team. The Social Democrats are also pressing for a representative to be part of the Cabinet as well. ANO's first deputy chairwoman and current Minister for Regional Development should be confirmed by the government as the Czech nominee for the future commission late on Thursday.
Olomouc university centre stage for centipede congress
Olomouc's Palacký University Faculty of Science is hosting an international conference about centipedes, millipedes and related insects. The conference is giving particular attention this year to the largely untapped medicinal uses that they could be used for. Some of the insects secrete substances which have already been found to give partial protection against malaria or to reduce pain. The first such conference was held in Paris in 1968 and the last was held in Brisbane, Australia in 2011.
Inspectors found more than half Prague restaurants inflate bills for foreigners
Czech inspectors have found that more than half the restaurants they checked up on discriminated against foreign clients. The inspectors from the Czech Commercial Inspectorate found that eight out of 13 restaurants they checked up on added extra charges to the bills of foreign customers compared with Czechs. Agents went undercover for the inspections by pretending they could only speak English. Other shortcomings were found at nine out of the 13 restaurants. The inspectorate pointed out that Prague is highly reliant on tourists with the aim that they should be treated fairly and not exploited. The inspectorate said it would continue checks throughout the tourist season and beyond because restaurants also served ex-pats living in Prague.
PM Bohuslav Sobotka says committee will continue to monitor restitution
Ongoing problems with the restitution of church property will be resolved by a government committee prime minister Bohuslav Sobotka told the lower house of parliament on Thursday. Sobotka intervened in a debate over the controversial subject called jointly by the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia and the Dawn party. The prime minister attacked the deal to compensate churches and religious group for confiscations undertaken by the former Communist regime, saying that mechanism were lacking to check that property was not given back which religious groups had not owned in the first place. Sobotka's Social Democrat party has attempted to reopen the restitution settlement agreed by the former centre-right coalition government without success.
TOP 09 seen winning Prague local elections
Centre right party TOP 09 has a high chance of retaining its position as the biggest party in the Czech capital when Prague City Council elections are held in October. A survey by the polling agency SANEP suggested that TOP 09 would be the strongest party with 21.3 percent support. A three way coalition of the Christian Democrats, Mayors and Independents, and Green Party could win 14.2 percent of votes. The ANO party would come in third place with 12.4 percent followed by the Social Democrats with 11.8 percent, Civic Democrats with 11.1 percent and Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia with 7.6 percent. The Pirate party and Free Citizens Party would also get more 5.0 percent of the vote according to the survey. TOP 09 currently govern Prague City Hall in coalition with the Social Democrats.

In a game that was much closer than the final score indicated, Crockett rans it record to 2-0 by coming from behind late to beat Rusk 22-14 at Monte Jack Driscoll Stadium in Crockett Friday evening.
The Eagles (0-2) gave a much better account against Crockett than they did in a loss last week to Terrell.
The Red and Black got on the board first and led 7-0 early on before the Bulldogs tied the game, 7-7, going into intermission.
Each team then doubled their respective points in the third period, with Rusk's touchdown being earned when Chris Sanchez fell on a fumble in the end zone after DJ Glenn had raced 45 yards before fumbling the ball near the goal line after being stripped of the pigskin by Crockett's JaMarcus Moten.
After Sanchez hit the PAT, the score was knotted at 14.
That's where things stood until Crockett took the lead for good on a safety that came with about seven minutes to go in the game and gave the Bulldogs a 16-14 edge.
A 4-yard scamper to pay dirt by Bulldog quarterback Case Robinson that took place with 2:57 to play turned out to be the icing on the cake for the home team as Crockett upped its record to 2-0 after defeating Lexington, 35-34, a week ago.
Morgan Johnson and Garrett Ault teamed up to block the final PAT try by Crockett.
Rusk's defense turned in another noteworthy effort against an explosive Bulldog team — the Eagles sacked the Crockett quarterback six times in the game.
The Eagles will play at Eagle Stadium for the first time in 2013 when they welcome Eustace to town for a 7:30 p.m. contest on Friday.

By JENNIFER MESCHINELLI
---- — PLATTSBURGH — One of three men who pleaded guilty to methamphetamine charges connected to a clandestine lab on Eleanor Way has been sentenced to state prison.
Jaime H. Gaudette, 36; Kristopher Peryea, 36; and Aaron Prim, 35, were arrested on July 17 at 10 Eleanor Way in the City of Plattsburgh, following an investigation by the Adirondack Drug Task Force and the Clinton County District Attorney's Office.
The apartment building was evacuated following the raid; Plattsburgh City Fire Department and other agencies worked to decontaminate the structure and the suspects.
Tuesday, Gaudette, who had no prior felony criminal history, was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in state prison with two years of post-release supervision. The Plattsburgh man, who lived at 10 Eleanor Way, was also ordered to pay $375 in mandatory surcharges and provide a DNA sample.
"Four-and-one-half years in state prison will be the standard for first-time offenders caught producing methamphetamine in Clinton County," said Assistant District Attorney Douglas Collyer in a news release.
"Production of methamphetamine will not be tolerated by law enforcement in this county. Those who choose to produce meth here must be prepared to face the consequences when they are caught."
All three had faced charges of second-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, second-degree conspiracy and unlawful manufacture of methamphetamine.
On Sept. 14, in satisfaction of a grand-jury indictment, Gaudette, pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance before Clinton County Court Judge Patrick R. McGill.
Peryea, on Oct. 22, entered a plea of guilty to criminal possession of a controlled substance, also as prompted by grand-jury indictment. His recommended sentence, the DA's Office said, is also four-and-a-half years in state prison with two years of post-release supervision.
He will be sentenced on Jan. 3, 2013. Tuesday, the Saranac man remained in Clinton County Jail in lieu of $20,000 bail.
Prim, of Redford, who made the same guilty plea to the same charge on Nov. 5, has the same recommended sentence. He was also still incarcerated on Tuesday in lieu of $20,000 bail. He is scheduled for sentencing on March 6, 2013.
Neither Prim nor Peryea had prior felony histories either, the DA's Office said.
Gaudette was represented by attorney Michael Phillips, Peryea's legal counsel is Keith Bruno, and Prim is represented by Miriam Hadden.
The bust was one of several in Clinton County this year; other raids netted arrests in the Town of Plattsburgh, Keeseville, Mooers, Altona and West Chazy.

Yesterday environmental and community groups came together for a bus tour and rallies outside five legislative offices in Ocean and Monmouth Counties to build support for an override vote on the Fracking Waste Ban bill. The Bus for Progress was packed with activists demanding these important protections be put in place. Additional rallies were held across the state urging our Legislators to stand up for clean water and override Governor Christie's veto. Hundreds of individuals came out to demand protections from this dangerous waste.
This bill is critical for stopping the disposal of fracking waste in our state. This bill can protect our drinking water and environment from industry waste that can contain over 700 chemicals and radioactive materials. Companies in New Jersey have already been accepting wastewater, drill cuttings, and sludges. Thousands of residents have already written to legislators demanding a ban and now activists will be delivering letters those letters and urging legislators to publically support an override.
We took this bus tour because we need to get the New Jersey legislature moving on banning fracking waste in the state of New Jersey. Hurricane Sandy should be an eye-opener about the potential that waste can have on our waterways. We need the Legislature to override the Governor's veto to protect our drinking water for future generations. We need to put the override into overdrive.
The bus tour and rallies were held in front of the offices of legislators that voted yes on the bill in the past but have not committed to vote yes again in an override vote. The Legislature passed the bill with strong, bipartisan support and groups are calling on these legislators to continue to stand up for our clean water and override the Governor's veto. The Bus Tour will visit the offices of the Senator Chris Connors, Assemblyman Brian Rumpf and Assemblywoman DiAnne Gove, Senator James Holzapfel, Assemblyman Ronald Dancer, Assemblyman Declan O'Scanlon and Assemblywoman Casagrande, and Assemblywoman Amy Handlin. Individual rallies will be held at the offices of Assemblywoman Holly Schepisi, Assemblyman David Russo, Senator Kevin O'Toole and Assemblyman Scott Rumana, and Senator Tom Kean Jr.
According to Tracy Carluccio, Deputy Director of the Delaware Riverkeeper Network, "Frack Waste is highly toxic and New Jersey facilities are not equipped to treat this dangerous waste yet fracking companies want to dump it here. One thing we cannot tolerate is more toxics, especially when Hurricane Sandy has shown us how difficult it is to contain pollution and contaminated runoff in a catastrophe. For the sake of our health and the environment, we are calling upon our Legislators to affirm their support for clean water and protected communities by saying NO to frack waste dumping in New Jersey with an override of the Governor's veto of the Frack Waste Ban Bill."
During Hurricane Sandy we saw a number of problems at water treatment plants, resulting in raw sewage and other dangerous materials being discharged directly in our waterways. If we allow frakcing waste to be brought into New Jersey that waste could also potentially reach our waterways in such a weather event. The Passaic Valley Plant alone spilled over 2 billion gallons of raw sewage into Newark bay. Other plants in Sayreville, Hoboken, and Union Beach also discharged sewage in the aftermath of the storm, resulting in between 400 to 500 million gallons being discharged everyday across the state. Stormwater can also flood the pipes entering treatment plants causing combined sewer overflows with sewerage entering waterways like in Hoboken. Adding fracking waste to this mix would add over 700 chemicals to the mix.
A recent study out of Stony Brook University found that the biggest threat to drinking water supplies from the fracking process came from the disposal of waste water. The fracking process creates millions of gallons of wastewater and solids for every new well drilled and each well can be fracked multiple times. Fracking waste contains over 700 hundred chemicals, many of them known carcinogens. The gas industry is not required to disclose all the chemicals used in the process, and with these unknown additives it is impossible to know the full threat fracking waste presents. The waste also contains harmful natural contaminants released from deep underground in the fracking process and brought back to the surface, including radioactive materials.
David Pringle, Campaign Director for NJ Environmental Federation noted, "As we recover from Sandy, we can't make things worse. Legislators need to stick to their beliefs, vote again to prevent frack waste from being discharged into New Jersey waters and contributing to more climate change and more severe weather."
Fracking waste is already coming into New Jersey. The DuPont plant in Deepwater has accepted partially treated fracking wastewater. The Clean Earth facilities in Kearny and Carteret have accepted fracking drill cuttings at their landfills. LORCO Petroleum Services in Elizabeth has accepted over 105,000 gallons of drilling fluids produced during fracking. The DEP recently revised guidelines on this type of waste but is still allowing it to be disposed of in New Jersey.
New Jersey's wastewater treatment facilities are not designed to handle the toxins found in fracking wastewater and cannot remove all the chemicals before discharging the waste into our waterways. This could potentially lead to the discharge of dangerously high levels of harmful pollutants into our rivers, groundwater, estuaries, and bays.
Fracking waste is exempted from critical federal protections regulating the disposal of hazardous waste and hazardous materials. This free pass from important standards increases the risks to public health and the environment. There are also safety concerns with the transportation of the waste into the state. There could be accidental spills as fracking wastewater is being trucked to treatment plants with impacts to local communities, water bodies and groundwater.
The Fracking Waste Ban Bill passed the Assembly 56-19 and the Senate 30-5. For an override vote 27 votes are needed in the Senate and 54 votes are needed in the Assembly.

The Walking Dead Episode 305
"Say the Word"
Written By: Angela Kang
Directed By: Greg Nicotero
Original Airdate: 11 November 2012
In This Episode...
At the prison, Rick is in shock. Rather than hug his son or hold his new baby (it's a girl) he grabs an axe and heads into the prison to kill anything he can find. Hershel gives the baby a once-over - it seems healthy - and gives it over to Carl. Maggie and Daryl go on a supply trip to find baby food. Glenn digs graves for their fallen friends, then watches the perimeter with Axel and Oscar. Hershel and Beth take care of Carl and the baby. (The baby doesn't get a name tonight. The group leaves the naming rights to Carl since Rick is MIA. Carl's only ideas are Sophia, Carol, Andrea, Amy... Lori. Names of women who they have lost.) When they return, Daryl feeds the baby and it turns out he is great with kids.
The Governor is having a party in Woodbury. While he is entertaining, Michonne sneaks into his house and takes back her sword. She hears something behind a locked door and tries to open it but the Governor, Merle, and Milton come in for more beer. Michonne escapes out the window and around the back of the building she discovers a holding pen with a half-dozen zombies in it. She jimmies the lock to let them out, then uses them as target practice. She slices them up with ease and it seems to be a good release for her - until someone carrying a bucket of zombie slurry comes out and tattles. The Governor gives Michonne a real talking-to. When rules are broken, punishments must be doled out, otherwise chaos will ensue. The Governor offers to Michonne that he will keep this quiet and she can stay in Woodbury if she joins Merle's recon gang. She refuses. The Governor reaches out to Andrea to alert her to what is going on and gentle encourage her to encourage Michonne to stay. But Michonne wants out, and she leaves. Andrea stays in Woodbury because she doesn't think she can last another eight months alone in the wilderness.
In order to cheer her up after Michonne's departure, the Governor takes a special interest in Andrea, inviting her for a drink and a chat. Evening falls, and the festivities are underway. Andrea is the Governor's "special guest" for the entertainment: Gladiator fights with zombies. A half-dozen or so zombies are chained up in a circle, with two humans in the center. The humans go into bare-fist boxing and not only have to keep an eye out for their opponent, but also for the zombies. With every round, the stakes are raised and the zombies' chains are loosened a little bit, making the circle smaller.
Dig It or Bury It?
Good episode. Nothing major happened - not like last week - yet it was still engrossing. Carol hasn't come back yet - I have to assume she is still alive somewhere, maybe hiding or lost. But the rest of the group doesn't know that.
Kill o' the Week
Rick's rampage was fun. He finds the walker that ate Lori. It is bloated and sluggish from eating too much. Rick feeds it one more thing: his gun. He then picks up a knife and starts stabbing the bloated bastard in the gut. I thought that he was going to cut the zombie open to retrieve Lori's wedding ring or something, but he just stabs it violently a few times then sits down and cries. It would have been better if he dug her ring out.
Zombie o' the Week
This week's disturbing zombie fact about the Governor: his daughter has become a zombie, and now he keeps her wrapped in a straight jacket with a sack over her head ("nap time") in a locked room. In his spare time, he enjoys brushing her hair.
Andrea starts to see that maybe she should have listened to Michonne and she jumps the fence.

Daily Item
---- — President Barack Obama lost the first debate by essentially conceding it. For those who score like boxing judges, the president may have won on points in the second debate. But to most voters, the contest was more akin to a draw.
Mitt Romney has closed the gap by appealing to moderate voters and middle-class families. It is a function of our election process that candidates win primary elections by appealing to partisan voters, then those same candidates struggle to reconcile those positions with the views of most other Americans.
Romney's success has meant that the election has become a referendum on Obama's record.
The stakes Monday night, then, were huge in the final presidential debate before the Nov. 6 election.
There were reasons to believe that the foreign policy debate would be a good place for Obama to expose Romney. The Republican candidate bungled a seemingly harmless visit to the Olympics by offending the host country, England, one of the greatest allies in our nation's history. Leaked videos showed Romney suggesting that the Palestinians have no authentic interest in pursuing peace with Israel.
Critics of the Obama administration have maintained that the White House was not initially forthright with the American people about the circumstances of the attack in Benghazi that claimed the lives of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Romney's efforts to capitalize on Benghazi have ranged from ill-timed, coming too soon after the attack, or ill-played, as in the second debate when the president responded that he had described the episode as a terrorist attack the day after it happened.
Obama needed to demonstrate that Romney is not ready to step into the role of leader of the free world. By and large, he did not. The president spoke with greater authority, but Romney demonstrated sufficient command to engage Obama on an equal footing.
Both realized that the nuances between their views on foreign policy will matter little to voters in two weeks. As a result, each repeatedly tried to shift the conversation to the economy in the U.S., the issue that will drive voters to the polls.
Romney's rhetoric has sent fact-checkers into hyper-drive, but he has successfully blurred his policies enough to mitigate Democratic attempts to cast his platform as an attack on the middle and working classes. That is why the presidential race remains a dead heat two weeks from Election Day.

LAKE PLACID — A Lake Placid man is facing multiple felony charges of possession of child pornography.
The Lake Placid Police Department was advised of possible computer transmittal of child pornography and served a warrant on 26-year-old Scott A. Premo Jr.
Lake Placid Police Sergeant Chuck Dobson said the investigation was conducted in conjunction with the State Police Computer Crimes Unit.
"State Police developed information that child pornography was being transmitted and/or possessed from a specific IP (Internet provider) address and, in a joint investigation, we developed other leads that led to a search warrant," Dobson said Thursday.
"We served a search warrant on the defendant's residence in Lake Placid."
Dobson said they arrested Premo Monday at 11:55 a.m. on felony charges of promoting a sexual performance of a child and possessing a sexual performance by a child.
Police seized 15 items from Premo's residence, including computer equipment.
Premo was processed at the Lake Placid police station and arraigned in village court.
He was remanded to Essex County Jail in lieu of $5,000 cash bail or $10,000 bail bond and will return to court for a felony hearing.

Question by thatonecrazylady 1158 · Sep 07, 2011 at 06:23 PM · celiacglutenpaleo
If you are not gluten-intolerant (or celiac), what are your interactions with celiacs like?
I've had a couple run-ins with celiacs and I was really shocked by their... anger. One in particular who said "You're doing a fad diet, if I eat gluten I'll get colon cancer." I was kinda disappointed as I wasn't trying to compare any affect of gluten on me vs. someone with celiac, just reasons why I avoid grains, especially gluten.
On one hand I can understand, if we have an era of people who tolerate gluten but choose to avoid it- restaurants may not take people seriously when they ask for the gluten-free menu (the question in mind would be ok is this person truly allergic/intolerant or on a "fad" diet).
But on the other hand, I think celiacs and paleos should get along well- we can share most recipes (I'm not interested in a rice flour recipe lol), could have dinners together, put out the demand for more grain-free products.. where's the love? If I were diabetic I wouldn't be upset at anyone who chose to give up sugar- I'd say "right on, good for you!"
I know there are many gluten-intolerant/celiac on paleo hacks.. so what say you?

I have celiacs and what pisses me off the most is people lauding the healthiness of their "gluten-free" lifestyle, but having pizza on the weekends.
I WANT PIZZA. (gluten free pizza sucks)
It feels like they're cheating and I'm jealous because I can't cheat. I think a lot of it is jealousy. We don't have a choice and seems like people CHOOSING to do this makes the suffering that our disease causes us seem paltry and unworthy of other people's concern. Also, if the majority of the people coming into a restaurant are sneaking bread while ordering off the GF menu restaurants will stop taking us seriously, thinking they can sneak a little flour here and there and it isn't going to hurt anyone. It's gonna hurt me, man.
Over-all I like being Paleo, it felt like a natural outcrop of my GF diet, eliminating almost all possibility for CC and other exposure, I'm glad that my non-Celiac partner and my friends from my gym are on the same train because it means I don't feel like a burdern when we're talking about where we want to go for dinner.
Paleos and Celiacs can get along, and be friends, as long as everyone agrees not to be patronizing or high and mighty about it.

Answer by Lady_Arwen 7697 · Sep 07, 2011 at 10:21 PM
My husband is a celiac and you think those with gluten issues and autoimmune would be more motivated to do Paleo but I'll make some observations. We tried gluten-free (and I read a bunch of books/cookbooks) before Paleo and we saw some benefits, but Paleo was dramatically superior for both of us!
We went to "Healthy Villi," in Boston - a nonprofit (but funded by gluten-free junk food makers) organization dedicated to celiac awareness. About 1200-1500 people, including us attended their Fall 2010 conference. One third were underweight, one third were average weight (but poorer body composition than Paleos of average weight), and one third were overweight/obese. The free gluten-free luncheon was 95% gluten-free junk food/snacks. The irony was that the only healthy things were the salad and few pieces of pepperoni (probably grain-fed) on the pizza (not the crust).
The Healthy Villi newsletter addressed a question if Paleo could help celiacs. Their nutritionists that follow conventional wisdom responded while NOT critical of Paleo (wow!) mentioned it wouldn't provide any additional health benefits - which frankly is ignorant and a lie. Those of us who understand lectins, saponins, phytates, etc. would know that Paleo is superb, and the best advice for anyone with autoimmune/gut permeability. Paleo is also far superior than gluten-free vegetarian and vegan for healing the gut because Paleo reduces lectins, saponins, phytates and other gut-irritants that vegetarians and vegans eat in large quantities. That is why many who dabble with vegetarianism and veganism for long periods of time are risking more autoimmune, leaky gut, and cardiovascular/metabolic issues. It's just a threshold and a matter of time - and some can tolerate more than others - but who wants to be the sad person at the end of the day??!!
My experience is the hostility towards Paleo is for many reasons: 1) they are junk carb-addicted - it takes a lot of willpower to do Paleo - and the more damaged you are the harder it is and the longer it takes - and I've seen a lot of metabolic deranged celiacs. 2) it shatters their worldview of health - who wants to believe that millions including medical professionals (MD, RNs, PhDs, etc.), governmental officials, friends, family and "other smart people" - including people they love are WRONG/MISLED for so many reasons. 3) people are lazy - don't want to read even basic books like Robb Wolf, Sisson; don't want to make even simple meals - like boiled eggs, salads with grilled meat 4) afraid what their doctor, friends, family, spouse etc. will say/do 5) they believe in the myths of Paleo - the usual conventional wisdom - Paleo will make you fat, cancerous, diabetic, sick, give you gout, it works for "some special people" but not most 6) people don't like to change their food behaviors - especially food because there's such an emotional connection to family, friends, social events, weddings, birthdays, etc. (mostly carb/gluten memories to be more precise)
Paleo scholars SHOULD be speaking at more autoimmune lectures (especially gluten sensitivity and celiac events) but I expect opposition and skepticism from junk-food gluten-free industry. It's nice to have gluten-free grain foods once in awhile (we have them as occasional cheat meals) but to live on them is NOT optimal.
If there is good clinical trial done with Paleos and celiacs that might help, but industry funds gluten vaccinations/drugs for research so don't look for funding there!

Some folks don't seem to understand that not all bad reactions to gluten are obvious and dramatic. In my case, I lived with relatively mild complaints my whole life and I never had a clue that my constantly stuffy/runny nose, coughing/hacking, GERD, and irritable bowel were all related to wheat. Except, when I went primal those symptoms all went away and when I splurged after several months they instantly came back. When I returned to primal they disappeared again and when I splurged a second time they came right back. If I eat sugary treats with no wheat I don't have the symptoms so it's very clear that wheat is the problem.
Tests on my colon are still normal, probably because my symptoms are milder than others report. My point is that I have good reasons to live primal even though I'm not celiac and may or may not test out as gluten intolerant.

My mother has Celiac disease. I eat gluten-free prophylaticaly because I have a good genetic chance of developing it myself.
I went to a Celiac support group in my area one night and my god, the looks I got when I said this. People jumped down my throat about needing to be tested. (Why? So a gastro can tell me I don't have Celiacs and that I need to go home and eat more whole grains for the fiber?)
Testing is not the end all and be all. Testing will just confirm Celiac disease, but its often not sufficient to prove gluten intolerance.
My favorite part of the evening though was when the organizer held up a box of some gluten-free, but grain & carb laden cereal that had been donated to them by the company selling it and said "This isn't health food. You should only eat this way if you really have too." While I understand what she meant, I wanted to scream "of course its not health for lady!! It's full of stuff that is going to cause cross reactivity and blood sugar unbalance. Put down the cereal and grab some veggies- that's health food for everyone!"

I went to the Gluten Free expo in Sydney the other weekend, ran by the Coeliac Society. I was expecting to find lots of Paleo people and Paleo friendly food there - but no! I honestly left feeling that going back to a SAD diet would be better than eating the diet they seemed to be promoting.
I got really funny looks when I turned down all of the food saying "I don't eat grains"... I'd love to have a Paleo stand there next year!

Well, I'm fairly certain I have celiac, and I try to stay paleo and highly recommend it to all my friends (much to their occasional annoyance), but there's a couple possible reasons.
There's what FED mentioned; sometimes it makes me really ticked off that I can't have a (good) pizza or sandwich when I cheat. It could be instead of trying to accept her position in life, she lashes out.
Then there are some rare people who feel that their disease makes them special, and more people having it, or acting in a way that's similar to those who have it, in their mind takes away the "specialness." These sad and thankfully-uncommon souls, you probably can't do anything about.

Answer by Kathi 1095 · Sep 07, 2011 at 09:57 PM
Well, there is another side to the coin. Just why do i find myself telling everyone my daughter is gluten intolerant?
Because people respect that. They do not respect freedom of choice... because that forces them to question their own choices.
And even intolerant hardly works. I have to literaly go through the whole scenario, stomach cramps, diharea, constipation. to get an....oh well in that case. Just what does that mean? In that case i excuse you for being different?
glutin is a bag of crap...but you get pity if you are celiac, resented if you are not.
so, we are in the same boat. Just a different venting of fearful emotions.

I started having reactions to gluten in November of 2009. I went to Five Guys with a friend and had a burger (with bacon) and the fries... since that mishap, I have been having problems. At first it was terrible. Being the Italian that I am, twice weekly pasta meals were the norm. With my dad, he always asked "where the pill" was. He thought that it was crap that my reactions to gluten were as bad as they were and he said that no Italian could ever get sick like that. (he is better now with it, but still insists there should be a pill to take so that I can eat real pasta) Then this past January I was introduced to the paleo way of life. Now if I want pasta, its spaghetti squash all the way. I don't miss it that much anymore. All my CF friends that do paleo/GF as a choice; I have nothing negative to say to them at all. I can't tell what someone should do and not do. Do i sometimes think about a nice big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs.. HELL YEAH, but I can handle not being able to eat it...there is so much more yummy and nutritious food out there... In March, I was introduced to my boyfriend who decided as his New Year's resolution he was giving up gluten (mostly bc of the research that he had done and all the negative things he was learning). He adapted the paleo lifestyle with me and I love it. Paleos and celiacs can live together... my bf and I are proof of that...the celiacs just have to get over the jealousy they have when they hear that someone gave up gluten bc of its health effects.

Fortunately, I haven't experienced that problem with any of my Coeliac family members...they've been very supportive. It sounds like the negative reaction you're getting from some of those with Coeliac is all about people getting their noses into other peoples' business, and then being pissed off/indignant about something that doesn't even concern them. It's disappointing, but I guess the only thing you can do is disregard them. You could try to explain to them how we should all be allies in our anti-grain-ness, but I suspect it would be a waste of breath, with them wanting to cling to their sense of outrage instead. :-/

More visibility for product, manufacturing costs
Ingersoll Rand to expand its deployment of aPriori software
According to a recent report by Aberdeen Group, best-in-class manufacturing companies enjoy significant advantages when they increase the visibility of cost drivers within engineering and reap the benefits of the improved decision making that result from it.
aPriori, which has been using its product cost visibility software within Ingersoll Rand, will expand the use of that software to all business units at Ingersoll Rand. The aPriori software provides IR with detailed product cost visibility throughout its entire product development process.
This helps IR officials identify savings when evaluating alternative designs, manufacturing processes and supply chain sources so they can attack cost at the point of origin where it yields the greatest possible impact on product cost reduction.
"The rapid success of aPriori at Ingersoll Rand is clear evidence of the extremely strong return on investment that our product cost management platform delivers," said Stephanie Feraday, aPriori's president and chief executive officer. "As the product cost savings start adding up, the management team quickly realizes that they can save significant sums of money if they get the tool in the hands of everyone that makes decisions impacting product cost."

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

From Staff Reports
Corsicana Daily Sun
Corsicana —
The Kerens LadyCats open the playoffs Friday night with a much different path in their quest to get back to the state tournament in Austin.
A much more challenging one.
Standing in the way of the No. 5-ranked LadyCats are top-ranked Martin's Mill (26-4), which beat Kerens in the state semifinals last year, and undefeated Martinsville (32-0), which is on the same side of the Region III-1A DI bracket as the LadyCats.
The good news for the LadyCats — they are playing their best basketball of the season entering Friday night's area round playoff game against Grapeland at 6 p.m. at Fairfield High School.
Kerens (25-5) lost for the first time this calendar year last Saturday to Winnsboro 51-45 at the East Texas Playoff Preview. LadyCats starting guards Taylor Ames and Cambree Betts traveled on their own to Tyler for the game after taking the ACT college standardized test that morning.
Before that Kerens won 10 straight district games to win the 18-1A DI title.
But really, Kerens has had its sights set on the postseason since falling to Martin's Mill 71-52 last March at the Frank C. Erwin Center in Austin.
"We're ready to see what we can get done," Kerens coach Denise Lincoln said. "I know I'm ready to see.
"It's never the same from year to year. The playoffs are a whole new world. We've got a tough road ahead of us."
Kerens has a tough task if it beats Grapeland on Friday night. There's a potential regional quarterfinal matchup with 29-2 Slocum, which plays Harleton in the area round (Harleton beat Wortham 49-46 on Tuesday).
Then it's likely to be undefeated Martinsville and Martin's Mill ahead at the regional tournament Feb. 22-23 at Tyler Junior College.
Kerens and Martin's Mill missed out on a rematch at the Brownsboro Tournament in December. The LadyCats' players wanted the game then. Lincoln wanted to wait, hoping Kerens will get its chance in two weeks for another trip to Austin.
"Yes, we're ready," Lincoln said. "They wanted to play them in Brownsboro. "I said, 'No, let's save that for when we need it this most.'"
Frost girls ready for Blum: The Frost girls, ranked No. 10 in Class 1A DII, resume the playoffs Friday night with an area round game against Blum at 7 p.m. in Maypearl.
Frost (27-3) continues to use a balanced attack to pace their high scoring offense. Jae Moore and Jasymn Steels combined for 38 points in the Lady Polar Bears' playoff opener against Irving Universal.
Frost has three losses, one to Kerens in the Kiwanis Classic championship game and two to 19-1A DII district champion and No. 7-ranked Coolidge by a total of four points.
Mildred boys can make playoffs: The Mildred boys can qualify for the playoffs with a win against Buffalo on Friday night in the 23-2A third-place game in Fairfield.
Mildred and Buffalo will play at 8 p.m., immediately after the Kerens-Grapeland girls playoff game.
Mildred and Buffalo split in the regular season. The Eagles won at home 66-56 in late January. Buffalo won at home 70-67 on Jan. 4.
