Hey, guys!
On Wednesday, Carolyn Voelkers had another chance to shine in the 7.5k race. I thought back to all those training days we had in Athens, at Levis Mound and Thorp. She worked so hard for this opportunity.
The Russian girl in her division is an awesome skater, but you know that didn't really matter. Carolyn skied with the best in the world.
Those of you, who know me well, know that I was in tears as soon as Carolyn started her race. She came out on fire.
Only a few coaches are allowed on the course during competition and I had a choice location.
I think I mentioned how hilly/mountainous the course was. Well, halfway through her first 2.5k lap, she fell, got up and fell again. We could see her but couldn't do anything.
After that, her technique fell apart. Coming down a large hill with a corner on the course, she fell again. We have radio contact throughout the course, so we know what's going on.
When she went by us, I told her how proud we were of her. She smiled, got back her skating technique and kept going.
During the second lap, we realized she was sitting pretty well.
Russia was way out ahead, but Carolyn was ahead of Finland, although not by enough to make up the 30-second start interval.
Going strong into the second 2.5k lap, she was 17 seconds ahead of Finland.
Her third lap started and she looked confident again. It looked like she pulled ahead a bit.
With 1k to go, she was 25 seconds ahead of Finland, but well behind Russia.
She climbed by me again and was still smiling.
I told her she had to get more distance between herself and the girl behind her.
Skiing hairpin loops down the hill she entered the Olympic Stadium. I'm not sure what happened in that home stretch, but knowing Carolyn, she reached way down inside and pulled out whatever it took to beat Finland by two seconds.
That took unbelievable guts and determination and months of training. The other Wisconsin coach (Steve) came over to me and practically picked me up off my feet. We were both crying.
We threw on our skis and skied back to the finish line. Carolyn was already in the awards tent, where coaches can't go.
Lucky for us, though, some of her family members were they. Hugs and tears were flying.
Once again, Carolyn Voelkers, of Thorp, Wis., amazed everyone. From the doctors at the Marshfield Clinic who performed a risky surgery eight years ago to help make Carolyn seizure free, to her sisters, who worked so hard to help train her for these Olympics, to Steve Meurett, from Neillsville, who knows everything there is to know about skate skiing, to Betty and Gib, who always told Carolyn she should follow her dreams.
One of her dreams came true in Japan and I was glad I could be there to see it happen.
Team USA was wild when Carolyn took to the medals stand. She made all of us so proud.
Coach Meurett and I finally got to connect with her by the fence after the awards ceremony and had one of the longest three-person hugs ever. We all cried.
It was one of those moments in life where you know you will never forget.
Carolyn told us how glad she was that she decided to learn to skate ski. She said, "You never really know what you can do until you try."
What a smart girl.
'One of the most courageous
athletes I've ever met'
I also had the opportunity to work with one of the most courageous athletes I've ever met - Andrew Beyel, from New York.
On Monday, while he was skiing the training course for practice, there were six Russian skiers skiing the wrong way. He couldn't avoid them, so he took a fall injuring his shoulder. The team doctor took him into Nagano for x-rays. Fortunately, nothing was broken or dislocated, but Andrew still had an extremely sore shoulder.
He had one day off and then came the 10k race. Although his shoulder was recovering, Andrew's shoulder wasn't 100 percent. (Where is Josh Ice when you need him?) He had a great start, but half way through the race, he fell on one of the steepest hills re-injuring his shoulder.
So, what does he do?
He had 5k left to go (that's three miles to you non-metric folks) and he skied the rest of the race using only one pole, because at the time, he couldn't move his shoulder at all.
Can you believe that?
We watched him ski into the stadium and trying to sprint to the finish line using one arm when he normally does a kick-double-pole was inspiring.
Tears were running down his face as his teammates and coaches surrounded him at the finish line.
Wait! There's more.
Friday was the 4x1k relay race. Andrew is on the Team USA #1 relay, which happens to be my team. He talked to me about skiing without poles at all and I told him, "No!"
He was my starter and I wasn't able to switch and put in an alternate or change the order of the relay at that time.
I talked to the other three relay members about Andrew's injury and how much harder they would have to ski if they wanted to medal.
We started our exchange warm-ups and during the tag between Andrew and Carolyn, their skis got tangled up and Andrew went down on his bad arm. Now he is in serious pain again, but he pleads with me not to scratch the team. He said he would go out and do his best.
At the start of the race, there's a mass start with 14 other skier. I look all over for Andrew only to catch sight of him near the front in third place. He was double-poling using his bad shoulder and just "givin' er."
He skied the whole race pushing himself. The other three skiers skied the best race of their lives and, you guessed it - Team USA brings home another gold medal.
Andrew was on the podium with tears just running down his face. I found him afterwards and told him that he is the bravest person I have ever met.
He gave me a hug and sobbed while I held him. That was the highlight of my day.
Saturday, we packed up and moved into Nagano, where the closing ceremonies took place. Then we went to the Air Force base to fly out Sunday.
The tears are starting, especially with the athletes. They are beginning to realize all that they have accomplished while they were in Japan. They became very close to the other athletes and coaches and know that they may never see them again. So, you just hug them and tell them everything will be okay. Then you turn around and walk away so they can't see you crying.
It sounds like all we did in Japan was cry. It wasn't.
It was so huge and emotional in Japan - it's hard to explain unless you've experienced it.
I know for myself a part of me now belongs to the 31 athletes and seven coaches who I lived with for the last two weeks and that each and every one of them touched my heart.
I'm not sure how it has changed me, but I know life will not be the same.
We call it the "Special Olympics Hangover." It stays with you for a long, long time - at least until the next big Special Olympics' event.

Joe Plumeri, chairman and CEO of Willis Group, is no longer planning for a traditional market turn — a "rising tide that lifts all boats."
Instead, he sees a future where refined tools are used to measure individual risks, allowing carriers to drill down into individual sectors and subsectors of various industries, with pricing based on a more detailed understanding of the marketplace.
"In the absence of our traditional tidal shifts in pricing, we are seeing a marketplace where smaller, localized waves are the dominant force," Plumeri says in an introduction to Willis' "Marketplace Realities 2013" report. "Macro gives way to micro. Industries as useful groupings are giving way to sub-industries. Diving even deeper below the surface of the tide, regional divisions are forming inside those sub-industries."
Plumeri notes that executives had predicted for years that a devastating loss year, like 2011, would turn the market. This prediction proved untrue, he says, stating that rates instead have been drifting upward in response to the current interest-rate environment.
He suggests that the industry may have "turned a different kind of page." Plumeri says, "The industry, after decades of waiting for a rising tide to lift all boats, may actually be getting smarter about how we price risk."
Plumeri explains, "Where we once might have offered broad conclusions about pricing for life-sciences risks, for example, now we may be more likely to talk about therapeutics risks."
This "sharpening of focus," he says, will also change the way brokers and insurance buyers approach the insurance-buying process. "Enjoy the soft markets; brace for the hard – that has always been the operating principle" for brokers and buyers, Plumeri adds. "But where are the opportunities now? We believe, in fact, they are everywhere."
He says brokers and risk managers have risks to mitigate, risk-transfer alternatives to consider, marketplaces to shop, and overall strategies to devise. "There are still big savings to be had, even in a market that is firming after years of soft rates," Plumeri notes.
He continues, "The key to success in a micro world is specialization, customization and individualization. And underpinning it all is the need for discipline."
Of course, Plumeri says a market-turning shock could still happen, where a string of catastrophes drains the industry's excess surplus. "That's possible," he says, "but that's not what's happening now, and that's not what we're planning for."
In line with the spirit of Plumeri's opening statement, the Willis report predicts that commercial-insurance buyers in 2013 will see a mix of rising and falling insurance rates across varying sectors.
For property risks, the report says that 2012 has been a year of recovery for insurers after $116 billion in global losses in 2011. Most insurers are posting combined ratios in the low 90s compared to over 100 last year, says Willis, and reinsurers say they expect rates to remain flat into next year.
With policyholder surplus reaching $570 billion, compared to $550 billion in 2011, and abundant capacity, Willis believes rates could decline as much as 10 percent in 2013 on some non-catastrophe risks, and remain flat on catastrophe risks.
Turning to casualty, rates are generally on the rise, especially for risks with poor loss history and perils with significant risk. Willis says rate increases may be as high as 7.5 percent in 2013 for most lines, with some lines such as workers' compensation rising by as high as 20 percent.
For executive risks, Willis says most lines will fall into a range of flat to 10 percent increases next year. Willis expects 5 percent increases to be the norm in 2013 for errors and omissions risks, with poor risks seeing increases as high as 25 percent or more.
Another line expected to see 2013 increases is employee benefits, which could see 8 to 10 percent rate hikes as insurers pass along the costs of complying with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Among lines of business that will probably not see dramatic increases in 2013, trade credit, surety, and political risk were noted to be flat to decreasing. Cyber risks, too, are expected to be very competitive for first time buyers, and renewals will likely run flat to minus-3 percent, Willis says.

Trek Madone vs. Trek Emonda decision
Discuss light weight issues concerning road bikes & parts.

Seems a lot of bike for the money, different wheels and it's quite a bike.
Thanks, that is a great price. I was planning on going with Di2, but maybe I'd just use mechanical or take the mechanical off and put it on another bike and then install Di2 on it.
kgt wrote:+1
Emonda is obviously the "pure race machine". The 19 watts advantage calculations are only good for Trek's marketing department, not the racing team.
Figured it wouldn't be long for you to show up and clutter the thread with your agenda.
FIJIGabe wrote:Before the conversation gets derailed, I'll just chime in: unless you're doing really hilly climbs, I'd go for the Madone. That being said, here are the knocks:
The brakes are a bear to set up. I built my bike up, myself, and this took longer than routing the cables through the frame (thank God for the liners!)
It is heavy. Like, really heavy. Like, heavier than my previous Madone 5 (all the parts that could be transferred, were transferred over from that frame - so it is an apples-to-apples comparison).
Here are the positives:
It is incredibly comfortable. Much more so than my Madone 5. I haven't tried a full century on it, but metrics are a walk in the park.
It turns heads, and you'll get a lot of questions - if you're into that.
Once you know what you're doing, the maintenance work isn't all that hard. There is a steep learning curve, however (it took me 12 hours to set it up, initially, but changing cables, recently, took me no longer than my Madone 5 (faster, actually).
Thank you FIJIGabe! That was the kind of response I was hoping for. Very informative. Seems like you have a bit of experience with the current Madone. Do you also have time with the Emonda SLR?
wheelsONfire wrote:Ok OP, what are you landing? Madone or Emonda?
I would like to ask what you think speaks for either M or E?
I also wonder, when the bike is a few years old, what will you feel about working on a bike that is more complex and demanding (M), compared to the easier (E) bike?
I have noticed that what annoys me in due time, is those small things that proves more hassle than needed.
Still undecided at this moment. Still really like both of them. I plan to run Di2 on whatever one I get, so working on it will be minimal.

lol, that is perfect! 10/10
spdntrxi wrote:I prefer the look of the madone and the weight of the emonda... why can't I have both ?
Exactly. But the integration + tube shapes of the Madone are heavier to incorporate. Maybe one day?
Svetty wrote:I don't get this choice? If I want a road aero frame I'd choose between various models from different manufacturers, and similarly if I wanted a light-weight climbing frame. The intended use should determine the options, not a common manufacturer (unless I only had one manufacturer's frames to choose from of course).
I like what Trek has been doing. The Madone is one of the best, if not the best all around aero-road frames on the market right now. Especially if one is ok with the integration aspect. It has the top notch aero, the stiffness and the comfort. So it makes it a solid choice.
The Emonda is a great lightweight bike and when looking at the major manufacturers it is the lightest option at the moment. For the $3,000 price tag for the frame, it is very affordable compared to what something like this would have cost just a few years ago.
The intended use is a multipurpose all around use frame. Both can do that. I just want to know whether the Emonda excels in areas other than weight over the Madone. From what I have read, it sounds like stiffness and comfort are comparable and that the Madone might even be slightly more comfortable.
JBeauBikes2 wrote:I'm interested in this topic because Trek's new Emonda really appeals to me. I live in a "hilly" part of Indiana and don't see mile long climbs like many people on the forums do, but I feel like the Emonda would be a great crit bike if it's stiff, lightweight, and corners well.
I've never ridden either, which will change soon. Does anybody race the Emonda in crits or road races? I generally make it into some breaks which means I could get value out of the Madone, but how marginal would the benefit be if I'm already running Enve 4.5s? As light as the SLR is, I'm sure it accelerates well so long as the lightness doesn't bring along flex in the BB.
I personally would never race the Emonda SLR if I get one. I would get the Emonda ALR for that. If I was sponsored by a team or shop and get the SLR for free or pennies on the dolloar I would race the SLR, but since I buy all my own gear, the ALR is a much better option for what-ifs and could happens.

I bought an Emonda SL6 2018.
I am disappointed. The bike does feel steef and nice, corners excellently.
But the down tube is too too large. I feel it slows you down a lot.
What do you think ? have you already raced in crits with the Emonda ?

watch this:
buy a 2014 Giant TCR frame, and kit it out with Dura Ace 9000, good wheels and you will save thousands and you will be quicker

In case you didn't know, this is the 30th anniversary of the Ninja motorcycle line from Kawasaki. To commemorate the occasion, Big Green has already debuted the 2015 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 30th Anniversary Edition and 2015 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 30th Anniversary Edition motorcycles, and today the 2015 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R ABS 30th Anniversary Edition joins them.
Like its sport bike brethren, this special ZX-14R comes with a special livery, which will be available to only 300 lucky owners (each unit is specially numbered). Finished in a "Firecracker Red" with "Metallic Graystone" paint, along with gold pinstriping and gold brake calipers, you can be certain that the changes are purely skin deep for this special model.

As promised, here's the update on how things went at the Tennessee Tea Party 2009 on Friday, February 27, 2009. The Tennessean reported:
Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the state capitol Friday, despite the heavy rains that turned the War Memorial plaza into a puddle, for a "Nashville Tea Party" rallying against the $787 billion federal stimulus package.
In fact, the estimate was about 600 in attendance bearing tea and hilarious signs. One totally crazy guy even dressed up like a Native American the way they did at the original Tea Party in Boston:
He argued that we were doing a great thing that day, but that our actions paled in comparison to those of our forebears, who had to disguise themselves to avoid retribution at the hands of a tyrannical establishment. He said that their actions were far bolder than ours and that we 21st century Americans aren't radical enough.
He was the best dressed guy there. After the event was over, half the crowd marched down the street to the local Congressional office of Congressman Jim Cooper to rebuke him for voting to pass the "Stimulus Package."
"Mmmm... Protesting Makes Me Hungry."
Here's The Tennessean's short video covering the event. It's only two minutes long and if you wait until the end, you'll hear a "really smart" guy say a thing or two about the protest. He had a little bit of nervous energy, but he showed a lot of spirit!

The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) yesterday confirmed that party Chairman Ma Ying-jeou (
The party, however, denied that Ma and the campaign initiator and former chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Shih Ming-teh (
"No plots were hatched during the meeting between Chairman Ma and Shih. Chairman Ma did not make any promises to anyone, either," KMT spokesman Huang Yu-chen (
Huang made the remark in response to a story in the Chinese-language Liberty Times yesterday, which claimed that Ma, who had previously said that he would not join or interfere with the campaign, met with Shih last Thursday and told the former DPP chairman that he had found a solution that would allow him to stage a sit-in protest 24 hours a day from Aug. 23 to Sept. 7.
The Taipei City Government's Bureau of Public Works' new construction department and Taipei City Police Department on Thursday granted Shih's camp permission to stage an around-the-clock sit-in protest in front of the Presidential Office on Ketagalan Boulevard.
While declining to confirm his secret meeting with Shih, Ma yesterday insisted that he had never made any promises.
Meanwhile, a group of DPP lawmakers yesterday said Shih's anti-Chen campaign was driven by the KMT, and linked with fugitive tycoon Chen Yu-hao (
"I know that Shih met with Chen Yu-hao on July 26 in Thailand. They conspired to bring [President] Chen down," DPP Legislator Lin Kuo-ching (
Chen Yu-hao, former chairman of the Tuntex Group who had escaped to the US, is listed as one of Taiwan's 10 most wanted fugitives.
Chen Yu-hao has accused the president of accepting millions of dollars in illegal political donations during the campaign for the 2004 presidential election.
"As Chen [Yu-hao] now holds a Chinese passport and has a close relationship with China, we suspect China might be involved in Shih's anti-Chen campaign," Lin said.
In response, Shih's campaign spokeswoman Ho De-fen (
"Chen Yu-hao had made a political contribution to the DPP when Shih was chairman. It was just a meeting .... no big deal. Shih went to Thailand to gain a better understanding of mass movements, not to meet up with Chen Yu-hao," Ho said.
Ho also held a press conference, announcing that as of yesterday, its had raised almost NT$81 million (US$2.48 million) in funds. Former DPP chairman Hsu Hsin-liang (許信良) also led a group of former DPP members to show their support for Shih's campaign at the conference.
In a separate press conference held by Shih's camp yesterday, former lawmaker Wang Lie-ping (王麗萍) said: "We have received reliable reports that the pan-green camp is planning to assassinate"Shih.
In response, DPP Legislator Gao Jyh-peng (
"They fabricated the news because it will be easier for [Shih's] camp to reach its goal of [raising NT$100 million (US$3.06 million) from 1 million people] come true," Gao said.

RallyX circuits 2018
Graphic News
April 14-November 25, 2018 -- The 2018 Rallycross season comprises 12 events, commencing with the World RX of Catalunya from Apr 14-16. The season concludes in South Africa in November.
The FIA World Rallycross Championship (World RX) is head-to-head short, sharp racing on mixed surfaces (dirt and asphalt) contained within amphitheatre venues. High-profile drivers are equipped with RX Supercars with over 600bhp and the ability to accelerate from 0-60mph in less than two seconds, faster than an F1 car. World RX debuted in 2014 with a 12-round calendar.
Race meetings are normally run over two days and include four separate qualifying sessions, two knock-out semi-finals and one final.
In the FIA World Rallycross Championship each vehicle must run a lap with a detour once during each single race, called a "Joker lap". This lap must be at least two seconds slower, therefore the alternative route makes the lap longer.
This season includes a round in the United States for the first time, with the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, scheduled to host the event.

1: World RX of Catalunya
Apr 14-15 - Circuit de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain

Post subject: My Short Review
The game crashes in my MS Windows Vista VM (using VirtualBox).
It seems to work in Wine 1.1.35, but there are problems with the resolution:
As you can see by the highlighted "Custom Start" button, the recognized mouse pointer location is probably correct while the graphics are problematic.
So I Quick Start a game, and again the graphics are drawn beyond the actual screen boundaries, making the game unplayable.
Also, terrain at the screen border is not drawn correctly because trees on off-screen tiles which should be partially visible on-screen are not.
The sound effects seem to stutter horribly some of the time and work just fine at random.
Of course, I don't know if those are problems with B&S, Wine, or both...

Hi Admiral! Thanks for trying the game.
I hadn't tested it on any emulators or VMs.
Actually I haven't gone back to test the accelerated version on XP yet either.
I'm still using MMF2 for the front end, this time with the DirectX 9 renderer. Which is itself an older Beta version, but renders so much faster on my netbook. I'm also using an extension to mess with the window size because again, MMF2 doesn't do it right.
I've updated the zip with the non-accelerated version ( software renderer ). This might work better?

The software renderer works fine in Wine, it's just really slow!
I've tried to play the game, but it has too many features already to grasp it in 10 minutes without a tutorial.
I found out how to attack enemy units, that X means miss, skull means a soldier dies and nuke means that a vehicle is destroyed (maybe?)
Gameplay elements like cover, morale, number of soldiers/movement/whatever in a unit are not clearly visualized on the map.
I think the scrolling would feel more natural if you could "grab" the map with the mouse. When the mouse cursor is then dragged across the screen, the map is dragged with it. I would personally prefer this method to the current one where the map will not immediately scroll to the right as much as you move the mouse to the left, but will continue scrolling even though the mouse movement has stopped.
The game could probably use a tooltip window much like the one in the lower left corner. It should tell the player not only what unit or tile the mouse is currently hovering over, but instead what will happen if you click there. i.e. "Attack Unit X" instead of "Information about Unit X"
The buggy landscape on the screen area borders is back. Compare the following two parts of two screenshots, both from the upper border:
If I scroll just a little higher, the trees suddenly appear:
So far, it looks like the game already has most of its core features implemented. Did I see the screen shake a little?

Hi Admiral, sorry for the late reply.
That's some great feedback. I know the user interface can be improved a lot, so I appreciate those good ideas.
I tried the other mouse movement that you mentioned ( a bit more 'Black and White' and wasn't very happy with it. It felt more difficult to use )
The tile appearance bug will be easy to fix, just need to adjust the edge values.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Ron Paul is exiting the political stage, but his legions of followers insist they are only getting started.
Libertarian-leaning loyalists of the two-time Republican presidential candidate have quietly taken over key-state GOP organizations, ensuring future fights with the GOP's establishment and laying the groundwork for a future presidential candidate.
Their new relevance, especially in early caucus states Iowa and Nevada, could clear the way for such a candidate, perhaps Paul's son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. It's the next step in the group's ongoing development, from rambunctious malcontents of just a few years ago into more serious party activists bent on reshaping a party they say has drifted from its conservative roots.
"It's the maturation of the movement," said Matt Strawn, a former Iowa Republican Party chairman not affiliated with Paul. "If you're going to keep the franchise going, you need a candidate."
Iowa's state Republican governing body this month voted to re-elect as chairman and vice chairman two of Paul's top 2012 Iowa caucus campaign aides. Last year, Nevada Republicans similarly elected top Paul supporters to its two spots on the Republican National Committee.
All this despite Paul having lost Nevada's presidential caucuses last year to Mitt Romney, and finished third in Iowa's behind Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
Paul backers also have made inroads into Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, in part vestiges of his 2012 presidential campaign.
Indeed, across the country, thousands of Paul's followers, many disillusioned after fighting in vain for his failed bid of 2008, regrouped in 2012 and dove head-first into the behind-the-scenes Republican Party delegate elections, fighting tooth and nail with old-guard GOP establishment activists for national convention seats.
And while Paul retired from Congress this month, his disciples picked up House seats in Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan and Texas last year.
"In 2008, we came in thinking we could change the world," Nevada RNC committeeman James Smack said. "In 2012, we felt we at least had some say in it."
Yet, it's not clear how receptive the wider party will be to party members who agree with the GOP's core fiscal tenets, but break sharply on national security and foreign policy.
On social policy, Paul lines up with the GOP's mainstream, opposing abortion rights and gun control. On fiscal policy, he shares the view of many in his party that the current tax code, and the Internal Revenue Service, should end. But he is out of sync with the GOP broadly in supporting a return to the gold standard and ending the Federal Reserve system.
He is most sharply at odds with his party on military and international policy. He opposed the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, foreign aid to Israel and the option of U.S. military force to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, a position that cost him in the week leading up to last year's Iowa caucuses.
Pro-Paul state GOP organizations have been quick to distinguish themselves at times from their state's senior elected officials, as Iowa GOP Chairman A.J. Spiker did last fall in calling for the ouster of a state Supreme Court judge over gay marriage, a position GOP Gov. Terry Branstad did not publicly advocate.
Paul supporters' simmering tension with the party establishment, which overwhelmingly supported Romney, spilled over during the Republican national convention in Tampa, Fla., last year. Paul's supporters protested loudly pro-Romney committee votes to replace delegates from Maine who backed Paul and for a rule narrowing routes for delegates to future national conventions.
The contempt from the more mainstream elements of the GOP is mutual in places where Ron Paul supporters are on the rise.
In some states, establishment Republicans connected to the party's donor base have complained that the newcomers are hostile to candidates who didn't fit with Ron Paul's ideology.
These critics have pointed to measurable dips in state party fundraising in Iowa. Likewise in Nevada, where Romney and the RNC set up a shadow campaign last year out of doubts about the state GOP competence.
National party leaders are reaching out to these new leaders.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, elected in 2011 to resuscitate the RNC's fundraising, has sought out Paul supporters as he seeks re-election.
And the view is emerging within the broader national party that it's better to have them inside the GOP organization, where they will be expected to perform in fundraising and, ultimately, winning elections.
"The bottom line is they want to be part of the process. It's good more of them are in charge," Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer said.
Given Paul's appeal to younger voters, the broader Republican Party would be wise to listen, Paul advisers and supporters say.
According to exit polls conducted during the November election, Obama outperformed Romney among younger voters. Fully half of voters who backed the Democratic president were under age 45, compared with 40 percent of Romney's supporters.
Likewise, 49 percent of voters who consider themselves Democrats were age 44 or younger, compared to 42 percent among self-identified Republicans. The gap was even greater in the 10 most closely divided states, according to the exit polls conducted for The Associated Press.
Yet, during the nominating campaign, when Paul drew blockbuster crowds while campaigning on college campuses, he carried a higher percentage of younger voters than Romney.
"Young people are embracing his small government, libertarian principles," said Jesse Benton, Ron Paul's 2012 presidential campaign manager. "That can make the party much more attractive as segments of the party age."
Paul's network could give son Rand a readymade platform on which to run, although former aides note it's not a guarantee he, or any Ron Paul protege, would automatically inherit his supporters.
Utah Sen. Mike Lee and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz also get mentions from Ron Paul supporters as philosophical heirs to the former Texas congressman.
"Whether it's Rand Paul or someone else, I have allegiance not to them, but to their ideals," said Drew Ivers, Ron Paul's 2012 Iowa campaign chairman and now finance chairman for the Iowa GOP. "Whoever steps forward to lead that charge is the kind of leader we should champion."

Ulcers caused by Milk/Dairy47 messages in this subject.
|I have always been a dairy person. Milk, Cheese, Yogurt, Ice cream.. you name it. As long as I remember I used to have canker sores pretty regularly and worse during winters. I finally connected dairy to canker sores. Stopped dairy completely and havent had a single one for last 2 years. I also removed added sugar from my diet. That didnt fix the canker sores but made me feel great in different ways.
|Raj 27 February 19
|Found many years ago that after drinking milk straight more than 2 days , my mouth will get canker sores, next time i will test with organic milk. I am age 30. I use to drink protein shake with soya milk everyday and i got no issue with canker sores.
|David 1 November 18
|Hi All, I have been suffering from awful mouth ulcers since I was a child (now 39!).
I noticed that the same problem seems to occur in the (maternal) female side of my family. We all suffer from the same thing. The drs and dentists have not helped at all over the years. However, I think I have worked out the culprits:
- the contraceptive pill (yes! It changes your hormone balance and it definitely triggered a huge surge on mouth ulcers
when I was on it)
-tart oranges (whole or juiced) and excessive lemon or vinegar in foods eg tabbouleh or fatoush
-English walnuts (I instantly felt these triggered a reaction when I ate them).
-avoid almonds and chocolate when you have ulcers - it makes them worse
-unpasteurised cheese (major cause!) eg cheese from France
- probiotics eg keffir, yakult, actimel, etc (major cause too!)
- certain yoghurts
-toothpastes containing SLS (for me, corsodyl mouth wash also spread the ulcers)
I hope this helps!
|Elena Yannis 17 October 18
|I used to get impitigo on my face and arms if I ate cheese, when I was a child, it stopped as I got older. I have always had food intolerances and reactions, this all resulted in a septic colon 2 years ago which had to be partly removed. Since then I was very intolerant of any dairy (haveing a rather violent toilet type reaction), I had a lactose test and its not that and have started to tollerate dairy a little more. Cheese still make my mouth blister and ice cream / cream is totaly off the menu but im now ok with a bit of milk in my brew.
|Debby 18 September 18
|Dairy causes ulcers for me too. I suffered from them for as long as I can remember, then gave up dairy a couple of years ago, as I am intolerant, and the ulcers cleared up straight away. If I go back to dairy, I go back to ulcers.
For years I thought it was Sodium Lauryl Sulphate in toothpaste that gave me them. When I used toothpaste without they would get better, but I was still susceptible. Now my gums are fantastically resilient, without dairy.
Hooray for a dairy free diet and pain free mouth. I do miss cheese, mind you.
|Featherard 6 July 18
|Has anyone tried organic milk instead of regular milk? I just wonder if its some kind of antibiotic or pesticide that is causing it. I have gotten canker sores since I was a child, I am now 24, but I have always been a big dairy eating person. I just wonder if its any kind of dairy, even organic dairy.
|Anita 16 March 18
|I suffer from mouth ulsers usually on my gum or lip. I only recently considered that they may be triggered by my ice cream habit.
This is not a preventative suggestion, but I wanted people to know about this bee product I use called canker-rid. I have no affiliation w that company and wont even link to where you can buy it. However I can say that after getting these my whole life it is the only thing that has made dealing with them easier.
It is expensive and difficult to apply but once on it provides immediate relief. It changed my life I hope this helps someone.
|Forest 1 February 18
|I miss the milk shakes but not the pain! I'm a male in my mid 40's. Within the past year I discovered that cow's milk consumption led to mouth ulcers for me. Like many posters, I suffered from these painful mouth ulcers since early childhood, or as early as I can recall. But not until the last year did I put the connection to milk together. I don't consume much dairy as a drink as an adult though. I can still eat cheese and not have an occurrence however I don't consume much cheese in general. I googled this connection between mouth ulcers and milk to see if anyone else had come to a similar conclusion. Every dentist and doctor should know this and share it with their patients!
|John Concern 13 December 17
|After reading an article on the dairy industry, I decided to give up milk and dairy products. Straight away, I notice that my constant mouth ulcers stopped and only reappeared when I accidentally ate something containing dairy. After suffering for 52 years, I headed straight to the doctor to ask two things - why had I never been told that milk might be a cause? And do people know this, because no one should suffer like this if it can be stopped so easily. He decided that the best option was to send me for all the standard tests (B12, platelet count etc) and when they showed nothing, tell me that it wasn't likely to be the cause. I know one thing - I take no dairy, I get no ulcers. I would like to have some kind of test, but only to refine my understanding of the cause, ie is it lactose, cassaine etc, but until then I just want everyone to know.
|MaryC 29 October 2017 29 October 17
|I am 21 years of old, I used to suffer from mouth ulcers per every 2 months without unknowing what could be the reason for this?
|Uday M N 23 August 17
|I have found that drinking A1 type protein in milk brings on terrible lesions in my mouth, like shallow Stanley knife cuts also, and these resolve in ten days or so after stopping using that, and drinking goats or sheep milk instead, which is always 100% A2 protein (unmutated). Some cows - Holstein or Friesian type mutated-3,000 to 5,000 years ago and produced a new protein, A1 protein, and evidence suggests that this mutated A1 protein in cows milk and meat causes or exacerbates autoimmune disorders, including cancer. Many breeds have now been interbred with Holsteins, so many other breeds now carry some amount of A1 protein. I only drink raw milk now, as pasteurized milk is quite toxic. I have seen reports that pasteurized cow milk causes calves to die in 60 days usually, as all the nutrients are not available from that, so it cannot be good for us either, hence the US, UK and Sweden having the largest (pasteurized) dairy consumption, also having the largest incidence of arthritis and osteoporosis, with the largest percentage of artificial knees and hips as a result.
I have found that whenever I use antibiotics, my OLP flares up again, leaving patches of raw flesh on my gums and swollen raw tissue.
|Dave 12 February 17
|I think it could be the different types of bacteria in the dairy products
|Lyn 6 February 17
|I too get these from pineapple and most items with much acid. I got on here this morning to check on the milk thing because i love cereal. Whenever i eat cereal it seems to happen too. However my doctor prescribed Valtrex a few years ago and it works quick fast and in a hurry. If i know im going to be in the sun (another trigger of mine) or do something else i really want to do, i take it at the same time or right after and I don't have to have it cause issues. I have NO side effects.
|Stacy 5 September 16
|Me too. I suffered from canker sores most of my life. I am 55 years old. When I was in university I used to drink milk instead of water. I love milk. I love cheese. In my forties I started getting mouth ulcers but nothing major. However, later on canker sores started showing, big, painful, and many at a time. My mouth was never free of them, 5 to 7 at a time, on the tongue, under it, on the gums, just below the teeth, every little part of my mouth had one at a time. Very painful. Can't eat, can't talk, can't laugh. I finally stopped milk, they were gone. Brenda mentioned Cadbury chocolate, it never crossed my mind, but it is so true. I ate Cadbury chocolate two days ago, and I have since been suffering from painful sores. My sores form in less than 24 hours and need 6 days to heel.
I am so happy to learn that my conclusion is correct, and that you all had the same conclusion.
I need to check the effect of different dairy products now. I love cheese. I will look for NZ cheese.
I wonder whether its the lactose causing this reaction or something else. I know that hard cheese dont have lactose, so I am not sure what the real issue is.
|Hadalu 3 September 16
|I found out that I am allergic to cows milk 30 years ago. I get ulcers in my mouth(24 hours after ingestion of milk). I can eat cheese, (the cream part of the milk that floats to the top of the milk after the cow is milked). My allergy showed up after I went on a 7day fast and refrained from drinking milk for about 3 months. It took the Doctor and I awhile to figure it out. My History: As a Baby I was colic, at that point my Doctor believes that I obtain a level of immunity to milk. I would get sick once a year; after drinking milk, my stomach would just feel like the milk would curdle in my stomach, I would vomit and get a below normal temperature. This would last 24 hours. This started in my teenage years. Now when milk gets into my system I can almost feel it immediately in my blood system(I feel a sensation in my body like I can feel the blood in my veins). I will take aspirin Immediately (I have found that this is a wonder drug for me). I can stop the allergy reaction quickly. My emergency dose of aspirin is High and not recommended(1,000-1,500 mg). There was one time I had to take this High dose twice thirty minutes apart. My new wife at the time did not believe me, so she slipped a high amount of milk in my food. I was in extreme pain, had to pull into the next gas station and purchase aspirin. She told me the truth a year later. I carry aspirin with me always now. Non-Dairy foods have dairy in them! many will use the Proteins of milk. I was taking a childs dose of aspirin daily for a long time. I stopped a couple years ago(doctor recommendation). Have been having more mild issue. I think it is due to the trace amount of the Non-Dairy Dairy proteins being used. today I am going to restart my daily child dose of aspirin again. I am 53. I hope this helps. Please be care full with the use of aspirin. ask Your Doctor or research the damage aspirin can cause to your stomach lining etc... P.S. I can use goats milk. I drink cashew milk.
|JohnL Morgan 28 July 16
|Yogurt caused my canker sores. Never had them in my life until my mid 40's when I thought I needed the protein & calcium from yogurt so I started eating it daily. After GI doc telling me there was no relation to my gum health & my gut health I decided to try an experiment myself. No yogurt for months. Then some plain greek yogurt = canker sore on my gum within a few hours. I kept eating yogurt for 4 days with canker sores. Then stopped eating yogurt & whala no canker sores. Big message: listen to yourself!!
|Yogurtcausedcankers 11 June 16
|I have exactly the same symptoms as many people here. I grew up on a farm and drank milk my whole childhood, mostly straight from a cow. Around the age 20 I started to notice ulcers on my tounge and feeling so stuffed up all the time. The ulcers were so painful I found it hard to talk or even close my mouth. And they were constantly moving, Changing shape, multiplying. At first I just put it down to going out all the time and not looking after myself. Being young and reckless. But after a while I came to the conclusion I was allergic to dairy, that somehow that was the cause. So for 7 years I was completely dairy free, and completely ulcer free.
When I became pregnant with my first child I started to eat a little bit of dairy again. By this time I had educated myself on food and what we should be eating. So it was unhomoginised milk products, unprocessed and mainly organic if possible. I found out I can still drink milk straight from a cow. I can drink/eat unhomoginised products. I have no trouble consuming dairy products in Europe. And overall I am not allergic to dairy, but more something they put into the dairy products that is not labeled.
I live in Australia and can not drink the milk from the supermarket, only unhomoginised milk from Organic stores. From the same store I can not eat the Australian cheddar cheese but can eat the NZ cheddar. It's crazy! What are they putting in our food??
Over the past 8 or so years I have had two really serious reactions and both times have been from Cadbury chocolates - cream egg and chocolates from a celebrations box. Both times a lapse in judgement and I could feel it almost instantly start to burn/tingle my throat and mouth. I have it now and it's so so painful.
I must say it's nice to read these comments as for many years I was going crazy not knowing what was wrong. And many doctors telling my I was crazy to think that milk products were the cause. I would not want anyone to go through the pain of this reaction, it's so horrible!
|Brenda 15 January 16
|Ais - milk (or lactose) is something I hear about quite often as a cause. Some people find they are OK with product from goats, one I remember couldn't tolerate anything from cows or goats, but was OK with products from buffalo, she established this by allergy testing.
|Dom Walton 15 December 15
|I have been suffering my while life of mouth ulcers, i hate it when i have them X( , it a life style changing situation i often get them under my tongue on on tongue on my teeth gum, underlips, inside the cheeks , and even very deep close to my throat! to the point where i think i have sore throat..
It sometimes gets so bad to the point where i cant eat or even talk. i went to doctors but got nothing and i searched the internet with no point as no one knows the real cause of these sores and they always say that there could be many reasons that are hard to point or spot that varies from stress to constipation..etc.
So what i noticed the last 3 months : i had some mild acne so one of the things i did is that i stopped having (Milk), thought this could be causing me acne to appear in such late time as i am in my late 20s, well apparently milk is not the reason for my acne and i have been having milk my whole life technically, BUT i noticed something else ! once i got back to drinking milk after i cut it I GOT REALLY BAD SORES ! and i was like WAIT ! i haven't got sores since last time i had milk!! So i am really not sure yet but i think MILK IS CAUSING THESE SORES to happen!! . what i am going to do is to cut the milk for another 3 months and see, if i don't get any sores I'll get back to this blog and post the result . Will see ...
|Ais 13 December 15
|Greek Yogurt made the roof of my mouth feel as if I ate hot lava, the sores were deep and painful, and eggs make my teeth feel numb.
|rose 23 September 15
|Could it possibly be the citric acid, and not necessarily the dairy and chocolate? I already know highly citric foods like pineapple orange lemon tomatoes are a big trigger for me and I do avoid them but citric acid is stuff I didnt even knpw had it like chocolate, cheese, even shampoo and beauty products. I can go a while wihout a canker sore even though I eat eggs and milk daily, but noticed mozzarella and cheddar would cause a canker sore and sure enough they are really high in citic acids ( extra citric acid is added during proccessing so try to avoid processed chees) The processed/ cheaper chocolate has citric acid, I'm fine if I eat pure chocolate, dark chocolate, but if I eat processed chocolate I get cankers right away. Gummy bears, runts, nerds etc I avoid like the plague, all instant triggers again high citruc acid. From my understanding citric acid although naturally occurring in most fruit, legume, it is also used as a preservative and flavor agent, so mostly canned, jarred, processed frozen food candy, but in a synthetic form and sometimes it is derived from black mold! Eww yuck! After reading that I'm avoided citric acid but its so tricky because sometimes its not listed, or is listed undrr other names.
@Judi even though you have cut out dsiry, are you esting foods with high citric acid
|Pam 3 July 15
|I have recently been bombarded with canker sores and as soon as one goes away, two more pop up but I have been a vegan for almost a year now and eat no dairy of any kind. Puzzled!
|Judi Lewis 30 June 15
|I have suffered from mouth ulcers on and off for years, but most recently I have had them non stop for the last four months. I usually have about 5-7 at a time and when they clear up I only have about two days of relief before the next batch come. It is incredibly painful and very hard to live with. I decided to have a food panel allergy test done in which I was tested for the 120 most common food allergies. My biggest allergy was dairy but more than anything it was the proteins, casein and whey. I of course am dairy free now, but I have to be careful because even dairy free products still have casein in them. If you are lactose intollerant and have dairy allergies, be careful when you buy products- it could be the casein that bothers you.
|MegL 4 June 15
|I am glad I am not alone with this canker sore problem. I have had it all my life. I notice that when I eat tomatoes and later chocolate I brake up in canker sores and they will not go away fast, it takes up to 2 or 3 weeks. OUCH! Then lately I started making home made milk shakes, and just like most of the comments here, I found out that milk brings them on. I am beganing to think Milk is the one thing that most effects them. Chocolate has milk in it and I have always broken up after I ate delicious chocolates. I am staying away from milk and chocolate but I know that one fine day when I feel great and have not had canker sores I will go back to chocolates and break out! Depending on whre they are in my mouth it can also effect my speech.
|Izzi in Dallas, Texas 30 May 15
|I am 38 years old and I have been suffering from mouth ulcers for over 25 years. About ten years ago I did an elimination diet and found out it is lactose that brings on the cankers. I now read every label. I accidentally failed to read a label on allergy pills and my mouth if full of cankers at the moment. Dealing with the pain for 10 days is unbearable. I will think again before not reading a label on anything! The pain!

|Thanks to menopause, I became lactose intolerant and I only recently learned that now being lactose intolerant meant I would get 4 to 5 canker sores at a time. Over and over and over! But now I take a dairy digestive supplement (for lactose intolerance) from the local Walmart store and the canker's have all but disappeared. Yay!

|Hi! Ive suffered my entire life with ulcers! It got a point where my dentist thought I might have an allergy to chloride in toothpaste! Turns out, I didn't! I thought it might be stress related as naturally I'm a bit of a worrier but to be honest, I hadn't had one in a while until recently. I've been lactose intolerant for about 2 years now but this Easter my lovely friends decided to buy me dairy free Easter eggs! I enjoyed my easter eggs but even as I ate them I felt like I could physically feel ulcers forming in my mouth! It's been 4 days since my first bit of dairy free chocolate (and my first ulcer) and now I have 4 ulcers! 1 by each wisdom tooth, one on the inside of my lip and one on my tongue! Could it be something in the chocolate or possibly the dairy alternative? I read in a previous comment that soybean can cause ulcers...? Has this happened to anyone else?
|Sophia 8 April 15
|I am a 66 female from the UK. I have suffered with mouth ulcers since approximately 5 years old. After trial and error, I find the culprit of my lifelong allergy and misery, is: CADBURY'S DAIRY MILK CHOCOLATE!
I sincerely hope this helps somebody!
|Lover of Cadbury's Dairy Milk 30 March 15
|OMFG i have had these ulcers come and go for the past 15 years and have been saying to many different doctors i think i might be allergic to milk, they all pretty much laughed at me and said don't be sill.

I am 40 yrs old
|I hate doctors 17 March 15
|I develop Canker sores whenever I eat dairy products manufactured/produced in North America! Milk, cheese, butter, milk chocolate, ice cream. However, I am able to consume the same foods when I'm in Europe or South America with no ill effects whatsoever! I can eat anything in Europe for a month, no problem, but as soon as I get on a flight home, if the cheese or butter on the plane is manufactured in USA or Canada, Bamm! Canker sores. What's up with that?
|Cheryl Morris 6 December 14
|I have the same problem as yours. I have been suffering canker sores in my whole life. Now, after I read your stories about canker sores and you have discovered that dairy product(s) is the culprit, so I must try this also to avoid any dairy products. I am so glad, I have found this link. I hope will work this for me!
Please give me some tips what are the other things that I should do and donts to get rid of this canker sores! Thank you so much....:-) I

|vongai 3 November 14
|I'm 36 and suffered from mouth ulcers all my life until recently, I had it almost all the time, often couldn't even properly eat or speak
then I accidentally found out that its all due to dairy products! only because lived in a dairy free environment for a while, cant believe it, I never had any allergies, and neither doctors or dentists ever suggested that it may be caused by this, they just kept referring to each other!
3 months dairy free and no ulcers at all!
|AV 3 October 14
|Yip, cheese does it for me. I was never sure however I now know cheese is the culprit.
I have also found a 10 sec mouth rinse with 3% Hydrogen Peroxide seems to clear it up quickly.
|MacTitan 11 September 14
|I agree, milk will do it!
|Kurt 10 September 14
|My story:
I had canker sores all of my life. I would usually just get 1-2 a year.
My canker sores took a twist for the worst. On New Years Eve, 2011, I had a canker sore out of the blue, just appeared on my tongue.
From than on, I have been bombarded with canker sores, I would get multiple canker sores at a time, which would last at least a week, and there was only a day or two, where I had no canker sores. This went on for a couple of years.
Since late last year, they stopped being so frequent.I was able to enjoy Christmas without a canker sore.
There was even about a month a went without canker sores. Now, they seem to be starting back up again.
I have at least 5 right now.
I found out it was dairy and stress, but not together which causes them.
I was off milk, I had some cheese, and got a canker sore. While having a canker sore, I ate some more cheese, and a few hours later, my tongue got really bad.That was a couple nights ago.
I know it's dairy and not just a coincidence. I eat some cheese last summer and got full canker sore in a matter of minutes.
Another thing I thought I should mention, is summer of 2012? I went to the hospital for an X-ray on my knee. When I left, I got one out of no where, even though I didn't eat anything. Maybe I had milk or something that morning and it just took awhile for it to come on. It started and fully formed within minutes.
I told my doctor and she was astonished that a canker sore could build up so quick. Usually, before I was bombarded with them, on New Years Eve, they would take some time to build up, at least 12 hours.
They would always also be bright on by a burn, or if I bit my tongue.
I don't know why some happen so quick.
I think I am having a more and more strict tolerance to diary, as it seems to be less and less required to be consumed before the canker sores start. Pretty soon, I will be getting a canker sore from just begin around it or thinking about it. Sarcasm.
My canker sores are often extremely painful paralyzing pain, that stops me dead in my tracks. I'm often in tears, becuase the pain is so bad. I have to take multiple numbing stuff (Anbesol, Orajel, Kanka, etc), so my body does not become immune to it. The worse it is, the more I have to use. It only numbs it for a minute or two.
I really like skim milk and cheese, but I can't enjoy it without paying a heavy price.
|Bud Borden 3 July 14
|This is great! I always had a theory that milk caused my sores, but no one I talked to had every thought there was a link. I normally avoid dairy, but last night had some ice-cream, woke up this morning and there they are. Glad there is actually a link, soy for me from now on! any advice on what gets rid quick?
|MEE 21 March 14
|I had oral ulcers for 15+ years, not a week would go by where I did not have at least one inside my mouth - usually several at a time. Tongue, inside of the cheeks, back of the throat. I finally just started removing things from my diet and I can say it has been about a year now since I have had one and what did it for me was milk. I would eat a bowl of cereal every morning with 1 or 2% milk. I switched to soy milk and have been freed of these horrible things. I can eat Greek yogurt without a problem, and cheese has been ok sliced in a salad (feta, cheddar) or on pizza, even icecream in moderation. That is the only thing I have changed, I just cannot believe it worked. After all that time suffering with them, I just hope this continues! Should say I recently had a desert with whipped cream and I could sense one coming on. Probably not having a bowl of cereal the next time saved me. While milk may not be your trigger, I urge you to systematically remove things from your diet to rule out food as a cause. Best of luck to all of you out there suffering.
|Sans-milk 25 February 14
|I'm 65 years old and was raised on a dairy farm. I have drank milk all my life. About 3 years ago I started getting ulcers all in my mouth. After going to several doctors and not finding out what was causing the ulcers I started paying close attention to what I ate or drank , realizing it is milk. I went 3 months no ulcers and one day I thought I would drank a glass of milk to see what happened. Sure enough I woke up with mouth ulcers. Ever since then if I drank milk I will get mouth ulcers.
|Bettie 12 November 13
|OLP sufferer 26 July 13
|Yep, milk does it for me too. If I'm not careful I can get enough to fill my whole mouth. I discovered that I can still have milk/milk products but I have to limit it carefully. It seems a little dairy every few days is about my maximum. I also keep a tube of Triamcinolone Acetonide dental paste on hand. Since my doctor prescribed that to me about ten years ago it has dramatically changed my life. Now at the onset of ulcers I just put a dab of that on them, pain gone. And they seem to disappear faster. One tube lasts me about a year now along with being more contentious about dairy intake.
|Shannon 5 July 13
|This is exciting. Jake something changed three weeks ago to start the canker sores up again. Think hard what are you eating now that you wernt eating then or vice-versa what were you eating then that you are not eating now. Did you eat beef and dairy products then?
|Ed 18 March 04
|I wish there was rhyme and reason to the appearance of mine. I just went 5 months with none, and thats the longest Ive gone my whole life. I ate the same types of foods over that 5 month period as I always do. Then about 2 weeks ago the bastards started to show up, and as I write this I can barely talk to eat due to the pain. I have them under my tongue, on my tongue, and inside my cheeks and on my gums. I HATE THEM!!
|Jake 17 March 04
|Vitamin B helped me a lot too. When the first megavitamin pills came out I took the 1000 mg pill a day and gradually reduced it to 50mg. Centrum was my vitamin of choice for a long time. I quit the pills because I cant determine if they contain beef liver. The vitamins reduced the severity but not the incidence of canker sores. I only get them now when I ingest one of the unsafe foods. I have learned that it takes 36 hours for a sore to appear. Often the first indication is when I bite my tounge or cheek or a small blood blister will form on my tounge or cheek,dissolve and turn into the canker sore. Lysine will help heal but not prevent it. Only a very strict diet will reveal the cause of your canker sores. Try going withou any beef or dairy products for at least three weeks and then add them back and see what happens. Be aware that bread is often a dairy product in that milk is often used in baking it. i woould be very interested in your results.
|Ed Elkins 17 March 04
|Well, I eat lots of salted peanuts, and drink gallons of coffee a day, and I put quite a bit of milk in my coffee, and I often have meat in my meals, but none of that seems to cause me to have mouth ulcers/canker sores. It seems that gluten, deficiency in one or more of the B Vitamins and maybe even lack of sunlight are causes of the sores for me.
|TomF 16 March 04
|YOU ARE CORRECT it is the milk. Its also all beef relatd foods including steak and gelatin (Jello). Safe meat products appear to be Chicken and Pig. Beans and Nuts, including soybean and peanuts are the major vegatable products causing Canker sores. Canola Oil Soybean Oil, and especially Flaxseed Oil are to be avoided. Sunflower Oil and Safflower Oil are acceptable. Roots (potatoes, beets, and carrots) and fruits (apples and peaches) cherries and berries, including coffee which comes from a berry not a bean are also acceptable. Beaware that cola comes from a bean.
|Ed Elkins 16 March 04
|Im 32 years old. After suffering my whole life of mouth ulcers, Ive discovered lately they happen every time I eat dairy products, including cheese, milk, etc. Im lactose intolerant, and milk protein gives me arthritis pain and swelling in my knees and wrists.

This Date In Royals History – October 26, 1985
Saturday, October 26, 1985 – Game Six of the 1985 World Series at Royals Stadium in Kansas City. The 'Miracle on I-70' included great pitching, some interesting strategy, several key clutch hits (which were hard to come by in the series) and yes a missed call (or two).
We in Kansas City are just going to have to get over it and remember only the course of the game was influenced and not the outcome of the entire series. Umpires sometimes miss calls it's as simply as that; they're human and just because the World Series Championship is coming down to the wire doesn't make them any more omnipotent.
Yes, with the naked eye I thought Frank White was out trying to steal second base in the fourth inning just like umpire Bill Williams. But when you look at the video Ozzie Smith missed tagging Frank's leg and by the time he collided with his hip Frank's foot had touch the bag. Of course had Frank been called safe then Pat Sheridan's single would have probably scored him and the circumstances of the game may have been different. But the Royals needed to keep their composure and stay in the game because the game didn't end with that play – let alone the series. No doubt few remember this play because there were several innings to go instead of being down to what might have been the last three outs of the series.
Nor did the game or series end with no outs in the bottom of the ninth on another missed call, despite a quarter century of revisionist history. But before we get to that let's remember this was a great pitchers duel with Danny Cox and Charlie Leibrandt (him again) matching shutout inning for shutout inning until the top of the eighth.
It was the Cardinals Brian Harper who looped a clutch two-out pinch hit RBI single into center to drive it the game's first run in the eighth. A frustrated and dejected Charlie Leibrandt then walked Ozzie Smith to load the bases for National League Batting Champion Willie McGee. Dick Howser countered with Dan Quisenberry who got McGee to ground into a force out to end the threat. The Cardinals had a chance to punch a hole in the game and the Royals bullpen ace turned them away as he did again in the ninth.
In the bottom of the ninth Whitey Herzog summoned his closer Todd Worrell to protect a 1-0 lead. Dick Howser then went to his bench (professional hitters is what he loved to call them) for some all-out clutch at-bats in the tightest of circumstances. The first up was Jorge Orta who bounced a ball to first base and reached on a missed call. The call was clearly missed, but the game did not end on that play. In fact here is exact sequence that followed:
- Jack Clark misplays foul pop which should have retired Steve Balboni
- Steve Balboni singles to left
- Jim Sundberg lays down sac bunt attempt with two strikes; Orta is forced at third base
This would be the only out recorded in the inning. That is correct, Jorge Orta – called safe on a missed call at first – ended up being the only out the Cardinals put on the scoreboard in the tense ninth inning. Then came one of the most important plays of the entire sequence. With Hal McRae pinch-hitting Darrell Porter is charged with a passed ball allowing both the tying and winning runs to move into scoring position with only one out.
- Hal McRae is walked intentionally
- Dane Iorg lofts the clutchest of clutch hits into right
- Pinch Runner Onix Concepcion scores the tying run
- Jim Sundberg makes the perfect slide to score the winning run
With a combination of strong relief pitching, luck, opportunity, strategic managerial chess moves and some veteran at-bats the Royals had the series tied at three games apiece.
Luckily for both teams no single missed call ever ended a game in the series – there was always a chance to persevere and win. All of which led to baseball's ultimate big game opportunity for the Cardinals and Royals, Game Seven of the World Series.
Just A Bit More: Over the last three games of the 1985 World Series the Cardinals scored two runs on 15 hits – total. And the Royals only used four pitchers over those 27 innings of play: Danny Jackson, Charlie Leibrandt, Dan Quisenberry and Bret Saberhagen.
The pitching was the ultimate difference in the series and perhaps the most important and overlooked performance was Quisenberry. His ability to stall the St. Louis offense at one eighth inning run in Game Six was crucial. The veteran came through for the Royals where the Cardinals rookie struggled ever so slightly with the game on the line.

PA-18-141, PA-18-159 Mechanisms, Models, Measurement, & Management in Pain Research (R01, R21)
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to inform the scientific community of the pain research interests of the various Institutes and Centers (ICs) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and to stimulate and foster a wide range of basic, clinical, and translational studies on pain as they relate to the missions of these ICs. New advances are needed in every area of pain research, from the micro perspective of molecular sciences to the macro perspective of behavioral and social sciences. Although great strides have been made in some areas, such as the identification of neural pathways of pain, the experience of pain and the challenge of treatment have remained uniquely individual and unsolved. Furthermore, our understanding of how and why individuals transition to a chronic pain state after an acute injury is limited. Research to address these issues conducted by interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research teams is strongly encouraged, as is research from underrepresented, minority, disabled, or women investigators.

I have an eBook on Smashwords...... not a lot of activity. Made a zillion changes for the first marketing piece.
Ross Rosalynn
By Rita Saladano
Liz played with her straw, gripping on it like a man's junk, she waiting for the man across to make a move. He dressed in his two-piece suit; he was handsome and dangerous. She played her part right, and she was flirty and seductive, her stare was deadly.
The man approached her, "Bartender, another one of whatever she is drinking. Make it two." Less
The sky was profanely dark, a cold, windy night. Rosalynn ran, he ran not to get caught; he couldn't see, but he could hear the police sirens, they were many, they search for him, the black man on the run. The helicopter's propelled him to run faster. Sweat pour down his forehead. Branches slapped his face, as he pushed them out of his way, he jumped from the obstacles of broken branches on the ground. He could smell the leaves, his heart thumped. Rosalynn turned to see if they were following him. He could see the red white and blue from afar. His throat was dry, and he needed a break as he panted for breath which was uneven. Shivering under a tree trunk he hid.
"I thought I saw him." The police officer said, "This way."
The broken twigs above Rosalynn, who was holding his breath made him wince. Dirt dropped on his head, but Rosalynn didn't move an inch. They moved swiftly searching around. Rosalynn could smell the heavy cologne spread. The cops' keys rattled around making sounds as they clash together. Rosalynn closed his eyes to relax his breathing.
The sound of boots disappeared, and Rosalynn was relieved. Coast was clear again, and he made a run for it.
Elizabeth sat on the empty stool, drinking whiskey on the rocks. She drank like the world was ending. Before arriving at the bar, she walked dressed up with nowhere to go. Liz made her way to a regular bar. It sounded fun. It made her feel alive, and she was wild and free. Everyone loved Liz; she glowed to those who saw her. Liz didn't have a problem spreading her body around Georgia.
Liz played with her straw, gripping on it like a man's junk, she waiting for the man across to make a move. He dressed in his two-piece suit; he was handsome and dangerous. She played her part right, and she was flirty and seductive, her stare was deadly.
The man approached her, "Bartender, another one of whatever she is drinking. Make it two."
Liz grabbed his tie, pulling it a little, "Pretty tie."
"You want it?"
She winked, "Everything I want I get."
"Really." She pulled him closer, lips to lips. Her tongue playfully circled his lips. Her lips tasted of cherry. "I told you I get want I want. Want go to China town."
Tim grinned back at her, "Take me to China town baby. I'm all yours."
They made their way to a near hotel. Clothes quickly came off, shoes flew across the room, Tim and Liz jumped onto the soft mattress, bare naked. They drank the night away, Liz felt alive again, drinking and casual sex with a complete stranger.
The thrill will subside, the feeling of being alive won't last, she would do it again tomorrow with someone new. With another conquest, she needed to feel, and she needed to hurt. How can she fear anything if she didn't have emotion left? She was dead inside. Tonight we drink, tonight we ****. She thought.
Liz couldn't turn back, even while she slept she was never on her best behavior. She ruled her life no one else. Then why did the guilt creep? Did she make the most of the freedom but for how long?

2014 Mazda6: 2012 Paris Auto Show
- The mid-size sedan category just got more interesting.
- This model is US-bound in early 2013.
- Could there be a diesel in the mix?
Don't look at the back of the 2014 Mazda6 wagon. Not that it's proving a dud with visitors to the 2012 Paris Auto Show, but it's the lines from the C-pillar forward that will interest prospective American buyers the most. Those bold yet sweet lines and proportions give us the best idea yet of how the next Mazda6 midsize sedan will look when it comes stateside in early 2013.
The outgoing (second-generation) US-spec model was slightly bigger than those sold in the rest of the world, but that might not be the case this time around. The new car will be built solely in Japan and is 2.2 inches shorter, although its wheelbase is 1.6 in longer, which helps with passenger space.
The body has an extremely advantageous drag coefficient of 0.26 (the 2012 Toyota Prius, one of the most aerodynamically efficient cars on the market, runs to 0.25) and is around 30 percent stiffer, but lighter than generation two. Educated guessers expect a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine and a 2.5-liter four making 189 horsepower and 189 lb-ft of torque. Don't be completely surprised if there's a diesel option; Mazda's Skyactiv-D 2.2-liter engine is extremely clean. Safety features such as blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning and LED headlights are also anticipated.
The reason not to look beyond the new Mazda6's rear door handles? The wagon version will not be imported, because Americans generally don't like wagons when there's an SUV or crossover to be had instead.
What this means to you: The new Mazda6 should make a pleasant alternative to the usual Honda Accord/Toyota Camry midsize sedan choices.
