Member Perspective: Joshlyn Earls | Breast Cancer Action

Posted on June 27, 2012 by Caitlin C.

Editor?s Note: Zoe Christopher, BCAction?s Information and Resource Liaison, is on the receiving end of most of the emails, letters and phone calls we get from BCAction members. She hears both the inspiring and the deeply disturbing stories from our members and does the research to find answers to your questions. One of the hard truths we all know about breast cancer is that sometimes there are no good answers to find. For this issue?s Member Perspective we asked Zoe to talk with a fierce, inspiring BCAction member named Joshlyn Earls who has been frustrated by the lack of information and resources available anywhere for African-American women living with inflammatory breast cancer.

Joshlyn Earls is a woman determined to beat the odds she?s been given by the medical establishment. Diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), she completed chemotherapy, bilateral mastectomy, and radiation, and is now experiencing the side effects of tamoxifen. ?Why can?t I find significant data on African American women and IBC? We?re diagnosed more often and at younger ages than other women. About 10 percent of new breast cancer cases in African American women will be IBC ? you?d think they?d be doing more specific research.?

?Joshlyn belongs to an IBC support group with about 2,000 members. ?When I asked how many were African American, the answer was zero!? she says. ?What does that mean? Is our survival rate different? Is this a cultural issue? I can?t find answers to a lot of my questions. Much of the data I do find is misleading, or the statistics apply to breast cancer in general, not IBC.?

?An energetic mother, grandmother and wife of 38 years, Joshlyn is used to getting answers. ?I want to talk to women who are living with IBC and look like me. I want to talk to women who were diagnosed more than two years ago, but I?ve only been able to find four who are living with it,? says Joshlyn. ?And I want to talk to African-American women who?ve discontinued tamoxifen. The side effects are terrible, and I know there are many women who choose quality of life over toxic medications.??

Joshlyn says, rightly, that we need improved detection and more education for women about inflammatory breast cancer. Though symptoms are often felt and seen externally ? thickening of the breast skin, redness, swelling, heat ? IBC is aggressive and is often diagnosed very late. It forms in layers, as opposed to a tumor, and is less likely to be detected on a mammogram or by breast self-exam if women are looking for a lump.?

For years, Joshlyn owned and operated a full-service beauty product distribution company and produced one of the largest multicultural beauty trade shows in Northern California. During the course of this work, she was exposed to an array of toxic chemicals. When she became pregnant, she pulled back. ?I knew it was a toxic environment. Maybe that?s where my cancer originated ? there?s no way to know,? she says. ?But I actually developed an organic alternative product ? I was ahead of my time. It?s a hard field to change, and after 12 years I stopped promoting it.??

Joshlyn?s online research about breast cancer brought her to BCAction. Learning about our work in support of the Safe Cosmetics Act and the Safe Chemicals Act of 2012, she found a niche. ?Now you?ll find me fiercely advocating for both. I?m encouraged to know this is getting attention,? Joshyln said.

?A feisty activist by nature and not one to settle for the status quo, Joshlyn founded her own nonprofit to address the gaps she?s found to be so frustrating. ?I want to educate the breast cancer community, particularly African American women, and provide solid, meaningful information about this very serious form of breast cancer,? she said. ?I want that information to be accessible when people need it. I also want to find ways to provide financial assistance for people who are in treatment because I found that organizations that claim to offer assistance, don?t. They?re misleading.?

It?s well-known that fewer African American women are diagnosed with breast cancer than white women, but the mortality rate for African American women is higher than for white women. ?The information seems to stop there for us. And in regard to IBC, I know we?re not all dead, though my research would lead me to think otherwise,? she insists. ?I know we?re out here. How will we ever reduce mortality or effectively treat IBC, or improve our quality of life unless we unite and raise our voices and demand progress??

peeled garlic,21food - How To Make Pickled Garlic?

An innovative addition to any relish tray, pickled garlic can also be used to spice up many sauces and other recipes. It tastes sweeter than raw or cooked garlic. It's relatively easy to make at home using fresh garlic cloves in good condition. Like other relishes, it can be purchased ready-to-eat from many specialty stores. Pickled garlic comes in jars and can be found in a variety of flavors, such as spicy, mild, and habanero, as well as plain.

For those who are particularly adventurous in the kitchen, pickled garlic can also be made at home. The preparation time is minimal, but the soaking of the garlic lengthens the project. Recipes vary depending on the specific tastes of the cook, but most follow the same basic structure.

The garlic should be peeled before it is pickled. Only clean, fresh cloves of garlic should be used to make pickled garlic. Before beginning the pickling process, a cook should examine each clove and discard any that have brown spots or blemishes, are soft and rotted, or are beginning to grow a sprout in the center.

Next, bring six parts white vinegar and one part white sugar to a boil in a large saucepan. Blanching the unpeeled cloves for 30 seconds to 1 minute makes removing the papery skins easier. As the cloves need to be whole or nearly whole when pickled for aesthetic reasons, a cook shouldn't smash the cloves with a knife to remove the peels. Another way to remove the peels is with a vegetable peeler. Other ingredients, such as dill, celery seed, or peppers, can be added during the boiling stage to achieve a different flavor.

Once the mixture has boiled a second time, the cook should take it off the heat and let it sit for a day at room temperature. When the vinegar and peeled garlic mixture has rested for a day, the cook should then pour it into a clean glass jar, cover it with a lid, and store in the refrigerator. Once the jars have been filled, seal them and store them in the refrigerator. In approximately three weeks, you will have your own home-made pickled garlic.

Pickled garlic is not only a delicious treat for garlic lovers. Today, garlic has been proven to contribute to cardiovascular health and to boost the immune system. Historically, garlic has been used to treat arthritis, freckles, and cancer. Like fresh garlic, pickled garlic also has a variety of health benefits.

Parties are worlds apart on how to fix economy

Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, gestures during a campaign stop at Monterey Mills on Monday, June 18, 2012 in Janesville, Wis. Democratic and Republican candidates agree that the economy is everything in this election. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Millions of Americans are desperate for work, runaway government spending clouds the future and Democratic and Republican candidates are busy making one thing clear: They're light years apart on what to do about it.

They do agree that in this election, the economy is everything. President Barack Obama calls it "the defining issue of our time." But for voters wishing Washington would come together in a time of crisis, Obama, his Republican rival Mitt Romney and their congressional allies don't offer much hope

Instead, they've taken to describing the gulf on economic policy in galactic terms. Romney must be "on a different planet," an Obama adviser declares. The president is "living in an alternative universe," the Republican Party chief says.

On planet Republican: The economy is backsliding, and the president is to blame. His stimulus spending did more harm than good, and his big-government rules are strangling businesses. The answer is repealing health care, energy and financial regulations and cutting taxes. That should spark investment and create jobs. Tackling the deficit requires huge spending cuts, just not at the Pentagon. The unsustainable guarantee of Medicare and Medicaid must change.

In the Democratic universe: The economy's slowly improving, thanks to government spending that helped fend off a depression. Another dose of targeted spending will help. Republican policies in the Bush administration ? cutting taxes and eliminating rules ? brought on the financial crisis and budget deficits. The rich should help dig us out by paying higher taxes. The Pentagon's budget must be cut, but entitlement spending can be controlled without drastically altering the social safety net.

"These two positions are almost diametrically opposed to each other," said Sung Won Sohn, a California State University economics professor. "And there's no common ground it seems."

They can't both be right.

How do voters decide which economic world they're living in?

You could try asking an economist.

Republicans and Democrats alike offer up prominent names ? many still arguing the supply-siders versus Keynesian debates that heated up during the Reagan administration. Did President George W. Bush's tax cuts boost the economy or just pile up more debt? Was Obama's $831 billion stimulus worthwhile or wasted money?

"Our economy is too complex, too complicated. No one knows for sure what the right answer is," Sohn said. "Economists are the first ones to admit we've been wrong many, many times."

This time, the stakes are high.

Recovery from the financial meltdown and 2007-2009 recession has been slow. Not even half of the 8.8 million jobs that were lost have come back. States and cities are still laying off workers. Unemployment hovers at 8.2 percent. Even for those with jobs, wages and net worth haven't recovered. Europe's troubles pose new threats.

More problems are ahead: Annual deficits of more than a trillion dollars per year have piled up $15.7 trillion in national debt. The crush of baby boomer retirees over the next two decades threatens to ruin the nation's finances, unless politicians slow spending on Medicare and Social Security.

Anxiety about the mushrooming national debt, exacerbated by bank bailouts and stimulus spending, fueled the tea party movement that helped Republicans win control of the House in 2010. That set off a series of showdowns with Obama over taxes, spending and the federal debt ceiling.

The ongoing brinkmanship has unsettled Wall Street investors, business owners timid about hiring and plenty of voters, too. Three-quarters of Americans say the federal government is too divided along party lines. Only 20 percent think it can usually work together to get things done, according to a Pew Research Center poll conducted in April.

A glimmer of Washington cooperation would make a big difference for the economy right now, said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics.

"If they could signal that they would be willing to work together to do something substantive and helpful," he said, "it could ease the collective psyche and help soothe nerves."

So far, no one's signaling a congressional kumbaya to come after the November elections.

Instead, Obama is telling voters they can break the stalemate by electing Democrats. That's a longshot ? an Obama win would be unlikely to sweep Democrats into control of the House. If elected, Romney is considered more likely to enjoy a kindred Congress. But Democrats would probably hold onto enough Senate seats to impede Romney's agenda under that chamber's rules.

Times of war bring the nation together; maybe economic peril can do the same. Are voters scared enough to push for action?

"People like low taxes. People like small government," said David Wyss, former chief economist for Standard & Poor's. "But then they want their Social Security and Medicare, and a strong Defense Department, and getting the airport and the roads built in their city. Nobody's willing to tell them they can't have it both ways."

Sohn, who's been following these debates since serving as an economist for Richard Nixon's White House, said the problems are too dire this time to allow politicians to hide behind their partisan differences.

"In this situation, the worst thing you can do is to cause gridlock by trying to stick to your economic philosophy," he said. "We want to make sure the economic ship stays afloat. If the ship sinks, all this argument is for naught."

MP Del Mastro bank records turned over to Elections Canada

Conservative MP Dean Del Mastro is under investigation by Elections Canada for spending too much to get elected, court documents released Thursday confirm.

The Peterborough, Ont., MP has been the subject of three production orders since April 23, 2011, including two that required Royal Bank of Canada to release his personal banking records for the investigation into his 2008 federal election spending.

At issue is a $21,000 contract for polling and research, which Del Mastro says was for work never performed, but which the man in charge of the research company says was performed but never reported to Elections Canada.

In the court documents, the investigator for Elections Canada says he is convinced through the interviews he has conducted and the information he has obtained that the $21,000 contract with Holinshed Research Group was paid by Del Mastro from his personal bank account "in a manner that facilitated the concealing and misreporting of election expenses and contributions."

No charges have been filed and the allegations have not been tested in court.

Del Mastro reiterated his innocence Thursday evening.

"My statements for both the campaign and the association accurately reflect all of their activities," he said in an emailed statement. "They have been professionally audited and reviewed and a matter of public record for almost four years. Any expenses that I personally incurred on their behalf have been refunded."

Del Mastro has been under fire since a news report last week said Elections Canada is investigating him for exceeding federal campaign spending limits.

The punishment for breaking federal election spending laws is a maximum $5,000 fine or five-year prison sentence.

Del Mastro told CBC News Tuesday people are confused because of a quote for services that his campaign paid by mistake, which was refunded, and a less expensive invoice issued the same day by the same company. That invoice, for $1,575 ? $1,500 plus GST ? was paid and included in his campaign filings.

"The campaign never incurred a $21,000 expenditure from Holinshed research. Did not," he told CBC News.

Free Pets to Good Home ? Blog Archive ? Fish Aquarium

A fish lovers work is rarely accomplished, a few of us that love and respect fish know this for a truth, the by no means ending seek for new sorts of fish to position in our aquariums alone is enough to make some folks tired already. You can get Fish Aquariums from petsmart.com, and while buying don?t forget to use petsmart coupons to get discounts. The maintenance and vitality that one needs to put into having a powerful aquarium in his home is one thing that simply equals a full time job. However it is a passion that has touched many, and many extra discover that there?s something very special and distinctive to growing fish and having an aquarium of any measurement in your home.

Fish are quite common pets if you consider it, in almost any pet store you can see an abundance of fish, somebody can foolishly assume that this means that most people are acquainted with the knowledge of rising them, it is not necessarily true. While most of the fish growers enthusiasm starts at a young age, and in fact most of the lovers of fish begin as young girls and boys staring on the pet store window wishing to get some fish, after getting a few fish you begin realizing that you?ll have to do way more than just fill a tank of water and feed the fish each couple of days.

With this realization you?ll also perceive that the sum of money that you?ve got meant for this objective might be going to be somewhat larger than what you initially planed, and type here the story starts. The fervour is to have a singular aquarium that holds many different types of fish, so as to add as many features to the aquarium and make it as harmonious as potential, at the same time as pure as possible to reflect a real way of living in a sense.

For the reason that fish market has much to supply a aquarium fish grower can almost never run out of more choices to make his aquarium richer and more colourful, but also more healthy and stronger. The race within the expertise in offering better aquarium gear that we keep the aquarium wants better is never ending, the products will not be very expensive at first but as you begin to grow you aquarium to larger sizes you will have to invest correctly within the upkeep produces you use.

The last part of the article is dedicated to the design of the aquarium, now we have all seen these motion pictures wherein the dangerous guy has an enormous aquarium with sharks swimming spherical in it, that is somewhat the common dream for the common fish grower, and although it is not possible that many growers will get this, some will, but everybody tries and makes their fish aquarium look better. The design of the aquarium has rather a lot to do with the individual that has it, it is not only the fundamental design of the aquarium, however of what is in it, what it uses as an aquarium stand and the putting of the entire thing. Numerous effort goes into this part and I hope that once you spot a pleasant aquarium you let the proprietor know he is doing one thing right.

What Beginning Gear Does the Newly Certified Diver Really Want ...

The Starting Diving Wetsuit Gear that the Inexperienced Diver Needs!

Ocean draws heat energy from your body TWENTY FIVE TIMES quicker than air does. Many of us do not realize that almost half of a individual?s warming loss occurs right out of the top of the head.

Covering your brain with a diving hood will increase heating and comfortability and expand your journeys into the deep blue a great bit longer.

Even in warm water, you may not need a scuba head cover for the first couple of days of a trip, but on following days, the water seems colder because you have lost core heat. Comparable to air temperature, water environment throughout the world are different in winter than they are in summer months. Gals tend to get chillier a lot quicker than males. This is seeing that ladies tend to have more surface area (curves) then men do. If a couple is traveling together it will almost always make more sense for the woman to have a warmer scuba hood than a man would to the same destination at the same time of year.

Could you be a water enthusiast and want to investigate what dwells on the bottom in the deep blue ocean? Right now there is a great deal to view in this mind-boggling waterworld. It is fully the fantastic world of scuba diving, snorkel diving, freediving, swimming. . . any water-sports activity. In order to conduct this pastime successfully.

Are you a H2O lover and want to explore what dwells on the bottom in the deep blue sea? There is plenty to check out in this breathtaking waterworld.

It is truly, you must have the knowledge, and choose the right fitting scuba wetsuit, basically because a wetsuit is possibly the most invaluable component of scuba diving equipment in your scuba toolbox.

Smiley face

Snorkeling wetsuits by their feature, are used to preserve heat alongside your body even when you?re in 10 freeze degrees beneath the H2O. It assists as your coverage from cold and makes you experience comfortable. It has gotten its identity even though it makes you truly feel heat. Your scuba wetsuit contains water in the middle of the wetsuit and your skin ( and warms that liquid up to 98 degrees) so that you can enjoyably feel warm, and sustain that warmth.

For more complete look at this, please read on the K2 blog, ? Why Are You Cold in Your Wetsuit??

Yet another tip is to consider a scuba wetsuit that is flexible. Fullsuit fashioned wetsuits have trunk area insulation and decrease flushing (as mentioned above) making them significantly better for chilly water; and kicks butt over farmer John style wetsuits.

Telling the full-blown specifics, in today?s market-farmer John style wetsuits are used as rental outfits at local dive shops. This is because it is ?one-size-fits-all? opportunity for dive shop managers to fit their trainees into wetsuits for cold water scuba diving.

Wouldn?t you love it if you did not have to worry about anything but inhaling and exhaling on your dive and snapping gorgeous photos with your underwater camera; and appreciating the display of the reefs and fish?

Comfortably, there are ?all kinds of formulae that ?determine ?exactly how many pounds a person ?should really? make full use of, these update with different kinds of exposure protection.

Indeed, a handful of them are even really quite accurate. But similar to a recipe, these might as well be managed as simple tips; starting pointers.

Regardless, your individual gear choices, you may be proficiently adjusted for amateur scuba diving if, with an evacuated BCD and totally full lungs, you float at eye level in the water column; you should really sink when you breathe out.

Straightforward as that! I would say the thing to do typically write down the figure of weight you will want with some other gear configurations (eg, tropical or drysuit) in your logbook, so you will always remember that you keep diving in numerous spots.

Certainly, be sure to review the many websites accessible out there, and kindly keep in mind to wear rash guard when you are out in the direct sun light. We also just incorporated new types of beach cover ups, so please come take a look! Mosey on over to the Tribe K2 at 866-523-4846. We are here to lend a hand to you in making the right purchasing determination.

Have Fun in Paradise and comment if/how this has helped you!

In tornado-weary Joplin, graduates eager to move on despite Obama visit

JOPLIN, Mo (Reuters) - Having the president of the United States speak at commencement would normally be the most memorable day in the life of a high school senior.

But not in Joplin, Missouri, where President Barack Obama's commencement address on Monday will come one year after the deadliest tornado in the United States in six decades killed 161 people.

"I'm pretty sure we will remember the tornado more than Obama's speech," said graduating senior Ethan Ritschel.

Joplin is still recovering from the EF-5 tornado - the strongest rating possible - that claimed among its victims one graduating senior returning home from his commencement and six other public school students. It also destroyed 7,500 buildings, including Joplin High School.

Students who graduate Monday said they will do so with a mix of relief, sadness and gratitude. They went to classes their senior year in a shopping mall building that serves as the temporary school for 11th and 12th graders.

"It's bittersweet," said senior student Taylor Camden after high school seniors finished a commencement practice Friday. "It's going to be a sad, emotional day for a lot of people just to be at graduation. We all lost something, and everyone here lost their high school."

The high school, a two-story 1950s building, has been demolished and lays in rows of rubble behind a chain-link fence decorated with painted wooden stars that memorialize the school and victims.

A few blocks away, graduating senior Danielle Campbell sat on the front steps of her newly built house Friday with the just-released 2012 high school yearbook on her lap.

Her previous home was destroyed as her family and small dog huddled in a closet. Campbell's neighborhood is rebuilding, but vacant lots and treeless horizons are still reminders of the disaster.

Campbell said seeing the high school destroyed made her teary. "But I don't cry much anymore," she said. "You have to pick yourself up and keep going. I've become a stronger person."

The yearbook is titled "Back to the Drawing Board," a reference to starting over in what students call "Mall High School." Ground will be broken Tuesday on a new high school, middle school and two elementary schools to replace buildings destroyed by the tornado on May 22 of last year.

Allie Pederson, who dodged the tornado by getting into a large freezer with others at a convenience store, said attending school at the mall has been difficult.

"It gives you an ominous feeling; it's a reminder of the tornado every day," said Pederson, a junior.

But an outpouring of generosity and support has given students some unusual benefits, Campbell said.

GIFTS, OPPORTUNITIES

Every student got a MacBook laptop to use all year. The prom was sponsored in part by singer Katy Perry and included discounted dresses and tuxedos, free makeup for the girls and top entertainment and d?cor.

The football team got to play at the stadium of the NFL Kansas City Chiefs. A softball player, Campbell threw out a first pitch at a St. Louis Cardinals game.

"There were so many amazing opportunities we were able to get through school because of the tornado," Campbell said.

And of course Obama is speaking at commencement.

Ritschel said the perks were welcome but cannot fill the void for students who lost family, friends or their homes.

"It's not going to replace anything," he said.

More than 3,000 students lived in the path of the tornado, which was up to three-quarters of a mile wide and stayed on the ground for 13 miles. The storm forced 4,200 students to attend temporary schools.

The school district received extra counselors to help students cope with their fears and feelings, said Lisa Orem, director of special services. In all, 40 percent of students received help, with many of them complaining about fear of another tornado or losing parents, she said.

Some students said the trauma of the tornado changed them. Rachel Berryhill, who took shelter in a bathroom with her family when the tornado tore the roof off their house, said she no longer gets stressed over small things -- such as being "super neat" or wearing the best clothes.

"I'm more relaxed," she said. "Not having material things doesn't bother me."

Pederson said she values people closest to her more than she did before the tornado and she tries to reach out to them more often.

"I've become more caring, more attached to people," she said. "I'm trying to live my life in a better way."

At commencement, tribute will be paid to the two high school students killed in the tornado. Senior Will Norton died when the tornado pulled him through the sunroof of his car just as he was arriving home from graduation. Freshman Lantz Hare also died in a vehicle.

Commencement, normally held on a Sunday, was moved to Monday evening to accommodate Obama. A statement released by the White House said Joplin's "resilience and selflessness in the face of tragedy continues to inspire our nation."

The city has rebuilt at a rapid pace with the help of thousands of volunteers in cleanup, construction and other services. Building permits have been issued for two-thirds of the destroyed homes while 446 of 553 businesses have reopened.

On Tuesday, the anniversary of the tornado, the city has organized a "walk of unity" through the long path of the tornado. Many of the 428 students who graduate Monday are expected to take part.

Many students have grown tired of the attention the tornado has brought, Ritschel said.

"I'll feel relieved and I think most everyone will be relieved," he said. "It's time to move on with college or wherever life takes people."

lines and colors :: a blog about drawing, painting, illustration, comics ...

New York based artist George Boorujy creates striking images of animals, rock formations and other natural and man made objects using ink on paper.

His website, and the few interviews I?ve been able to find, don?t include much information about what kinds of inks or other details about his process, but the results are highly detailed, textural and visually forceful.

Boorujy?s work is currently on display in a show titled ?Blood Memory? at the P-P-O-W gallery in New York that runs until April 14, 2012.

The gallery on his website includes detail crops, sometimes more than one, for some of the images. I?ve taken the liberty of applying an outline to the full versions of his works, that often include white or very light backgrounds, so you can more clearly see his compositions (which some of the blog articles listed below obscure by only posting detail crops).

I learned of the exhibition from the Wired Science blog, which has a nice additional gallery of his work.

Romney scores big win over Santorum in Illinois

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Republican Mitt Romney cruised to an easy victory over top rival Rick Santorum in Illinois on Tuesday, moving him one step closer to clinching the party's volatile battle for the presidential nomination.

Romney's comfortable win gave him a fresh burst of momentum in the White House campaign and new ammunition for his argument that it is time for Republicans to rally around his campaign and end an increasingly bitter nominating battle.

"Elections are about choices, and today hundreds of thousands of people in Illinois have joined millions across the country to join our cause," Romney told cheering supporters in Schaumburg, Illinois, a Chicago suburb.

"I'm offering a real choice and a new beginning," he said, touting his business experience and ignoring his rivals to focus his criticism on President Barack Obama. "I have the vision and the experience to get us out of this mess."

With 95 percent of the votes counted, Romney had 47 percent and Santorum, a former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, took 35 percent. Romney's remaining rivals, Newt Gingrich, the former U.S. House of Representatives speaker, and libertarian congressman Ron Paul, lagged badly. Gingrich was in fourth place.

While he has failed to win over many conservatives, Romney has more than twice as many delegates to the nominating convention as Santorum. Romney's campaign has argued that his rivals cannot catch him in the contest to pick a challenger to Obama in the November 6 election.

Santorum and Gingrich hope to keep Romney from capturing a majority of delegates by the time the nominating contests end in June, leaving the choice up for grabs among the party's mostly conservative delegates heading into the August nominating convention in Tampa, Florida.

"We don't need a manager," Santorum told supporters in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania after the results were announced, referring to Romney, who is the former head of a private equity firm. "We need someone who is going to pull government up by the roots and throw it out."

The win in Illinois allowed Romney to expand his lead in delegates over Santorum. A CNN delegate count gave Romney 540 delegates to Santorum's 239 in the race for the 1,144 needed to win the nomination.

There were 54 delegates to be allocated in Illinois from Tuesday's voting, but Santorum was not eligible to win many of them because he failed to meet deadlines to file a slate of delegates in some districts.

'FEELING VERY, VERY GOOD ABOUT LOUISIANA'

The results leave Santorum with a tough path in the Republican presidential battle, although the next contest, in the conservative southern state of Louisiana on Saturday, is a state where he should do well.

"We're feeling very, very good about winning Louisiana on Saturday," Santorum said.

The race then heads to Maryland, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia on April 3 and to five northeastern states, including his home state of Pennsylvania, on April 24. Without several key victories in those showdowns, Santorum could face growing pressure to end his bid.

Romney and Santorum had launched a new round of attacks on each other ahead of the vote, with Romney calling his rival an "economic lightweight" and Santorum accusing Romney of being "a Wall Street financier" who would have a hard time winning in November.

Santorum, a staunch social conservative, campaigned heavily in rural southern Illinois and courted conservatives who distrust Romney for the moderate stances he took as governor of liberal Massachusetts.

But the Illinois result followed a bad week for Santorum, who spent two days campaigning in Puerto Rico before losing badly there on Sunday. In an effort to minimize the importance of Romney's business experience, he also told a campaign rally he did not care about the unemployment rate.

The diverse electorate in Illinois paid off for Romney, who has been unable to translate his substantial financial and organizational advantages into broad support in many states.

Exit polls showed Santorum won among voters who said they were evangelical Christians, very conservative or strongly supported the conservative Tea Party movement, but those blocs were smaller than in states where Santorum has done well.

Evangelicals made up about four of every 10 voters in Illinois, compared to more than seven in 10 last week in the Mississippi and Alabama primaries, which Santorum won.

Romney, a multimillionaire who has struggled to connect with blue-collar voters, slightly led Santorum as the candidate who best understood the average Americans' problems, exit polls showed.

Despite his poor finish, Gingrich pledged to keep running until the convention. He said if Romney was unable to capture the delegates needed by the time voting ends in late June Republicans will have to evaluate who should be the nominee.

"If that's what happens, then we'll have a real conversation," Gingrich said on Fox News.
