National security
National Defense Authorization Act
Kline voted in support of HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[12]
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations
Kline voted in support of HR 2217 - the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 and was largely along party lines.[12]
Keystone Pipeline Amendment
Kline voted in favor of House Amendment 69, which would have amended HR 3 to "require that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security, conduct a study of the vulnerabilities of the Keystone XL pipeline to a terrorist attack and certify that necessary protections have been put in place." The amendment failed on May 22, 2013, with a vote of 176 - 239 and was largely along party lines.[12]
Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act
Kline voted in support of HR 624 - the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill would allow federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities.[13] The bill was largely supported by Republicans but divided the Democratic Party.[12]
Farm Bill
- See also: United States Farm Bill 2013
Kline voted to support the Farm Bill on July 11, 2013. The bill passed in a 216-208 vote.[14] The bill passed included farm policy, but did not include food stamps.[15]
Immigration reform
Several Republican members of the U.S. House may have faced a tougher path to re-election in 2014 because immigration reform did not pass in the House in 2013, according to a Public Policy Poll released in July 2013.[16]
According to the poll, a majority of voters in seven Republican congressional districts said they were less likely to vote for their representative if he failed to support immigration reform. Voters also reported in the poll that they were less likely to support Republican candidates in the 2014 general election if the Republican House members blocked immigration reform proposals.[16] Kline was one of the seven representatives who served in a district that had overwhelming support for the Senate's immigration reform plan.[16]
Repealing Obamacare
Kline has supported all attempts to repeal or delay the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.[17]
Social issues
Kline supported HR 1797 - Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The resolution passed the House on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 228 - 196. The purpose of the bill is to ban abortions that would take place 20 or more weeks after fertilization.[18]
Kline ran in the 2014 election for re-election to the U.S. House, representing Minnesota's 2nd District. Kline sought the Republican nomination in the primary. The general election took place November 4, 2014.
He has been listed by the House Majority PAC as a target in 2014.[19][20][21]
Kline won re-election in 2012.[22] He defeated David Gerson in the Republican primary.[23] He defeated Democrat Mike Obermueller in the November general election.

Effect of redistricting
Given the new district maps, Democrats in the state said they had better odds of defeating incumbent Kline, who won his last election by a 30 percent margin. Democrats hoped that Kline's south suburban and rural district, which includes a southeastern swath of Minnesota from Dakota County to Wabasha County and over to Scott and Rice counties, could turn in their favor. However, they were unsuccessful in taking the seat.[24]
According to the Washington Post, redistricting transformed the 2nd district from a safe seat into a swing district. While the 2nd formerly went safely for Kline, the newly drawn district became a battleground for Republicans and Democrats fighting for control of the House.[25]

According to the University of Michigan, it was a bumper year for new car fuel efficiency this year.The average fuel economy (window-sticker value) of new vehicles sold in the U.S. in December was 23.9 mpg, up 3.8 mpg (or 19%) from the value in October 2007 (the first month that the University of Michigan began monitoring). However, the fuel economy in December was down 0.2 mpg from November, likely reflecting the recent reduction in the price of gasoline. The average fuel economy of all vehicles sold in 2012 was 23.8 mpg, up 1.3 mpg from 2011 and up 2.9 mpg from 2008.

Immunotherapy (also called biologic therapy or biotherapy) is a type of cancer treatment designed to boost the body's natural defenses to fight the cancer. It uses materials either made by the body or in a laboratory to improve, target, or restore immune system function. Although it is not entirely clear how immunotherapy treats cancer, it may work by stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells, stopping cancer from spreading to other parts of the body, or helping the immune system increase its effectiveness at eliminating cancer cells.
There are several types of immunotherapy, including monoclonal antibodies, non-specific immunotherapies, and cancer vaccines.
Monoclonal antibodies
When the body's immune system detects antigens (harmful substances, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites), it produces antibodies (proteins that fight infection). Monoclonal antibodies are made in a laboratory, and when they are given to patients, they act like the antibodies the body produces naturally. Monoclonal antibodies are given intravenously (through a vein) and work by targeting specific proteins on the surface of cancer cells or cells that support the growth of cancer cells. When monoclonal antibodies attach to a cancer cell, they may accomplish the following goals:
Allow the immune system to destroy the cancer cell. The immune system doesn't always recognize cancer cells as being harmful. To make it easier for the immune system to find and destroy cancer cells, a monoclonal antibody can mark or tag them by attaching to specific parts of cancer cells that are not found on healthy cells.
Prevent cancer cells from growing rapidly. Chemicals in the body called growth factors attach to receptors on the surface of cells and send signals that tell the cells to grow. Some cancer cells make extra copies of the growth factor receptor, which makes the cancer cells grow faster than normal cells. Monoclonal antibodies can block these receptors and prevent the growth signal from getting through.
Deliver radiation directly to cancer cells. This treatment, called radioimmunotherapy, uses monoclonal antibodies to deliver radiation directly to cancer cells. By attaching radioactive molecules to monoclonal antibodies in a laboratory, they can deliver low doses of radiation specifically to the tumor while leaving healthy cells alone. Examples of these radioactive molecules include ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) and tositumomab (Bexxar).
Diagnose cancer. Monoclonal antibodies carrying radioactive particles may also help diagnose certain cancers, such as colorectal, ovarian, and prostate cancers. Special cameras identify the cancer by showing where the radioactive particles accumulate in the body. In addition, a pathologist (a doctor who specializes in interpreting laboratory tests and evaluating cells, tissues, and organs to diagnose disease) may use monoclonal antibodies to determine the type of cancer a patient may have after tissue has been removed during a biopsy.
Carry powerful drugs directly to cancer cells.Some monoclonal antibodies carry other cancer drugs directly to cancer cells. Once the monoclonal antibody attaches to the cancer cell, the cancer treatment it is carrying enters the cell, causing the cancer cell to die without damaging other healthy cells. Brentuximab vedotin (Adcetris), a treatment for certain types of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, is one example
Other monoclonal antibodies approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat cancer include:
- Alemtuzumab (Campath)
- Bevacizumab (Avastin)
- Cetuximab (Erbitux)
- Ipilimumab (Yervoy)
- Ofatumumab (Arzerra)
- Panitumumab (Vectibix)
- Rituximab (Rituxan)
- Trastuzumab (Herceptin).
Clinical trials of monoclonal antibodies are ongoing for several types of cancers. Learn more about clinical trials.
Side effects of monoclonal antibody treatment are usually mild and are often similar to an allergic reaction. Possible side effects include rashes, low blood pressure, and flu-like symptoms, such as fever, chills, headache, weakness, extreme tiredness, loss of appetite, upset stomach, or vomiting.
Although monoclonal antibodies are considered a type of immunotherapy, they are also classified as a type of targeted treatment (a treatment that specifically targets faulty genes or proteins that contribute to cancer growth and development). Learn more about targeted treatments.
Non-specific immunotherapies
Like monoclonal antibodies, non-specific immunotherapies also help the immune system destroy cancer cells. Most non-specific immunotherapies are given after or at the same time as another cancer treatment, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. However, some non-specific immunotherapies are given as the main cancer treatment.
Two common non-specific immunotherapies are:
Interferons. Interferons help the immune system fight cancer and may slow the growth of cancer cells. An interferon made in a laboratory, called interferon alpha (Roferon-A [2a], Intron A [2b], Alferon [2a]), is the most common type of interferon used in cancer treatment. Side effects of interferon treatment may include flu-like symptoms, an increased risk of infection, rashes, and thinning hair.
Interleukins. Interleukins help the immune system produce cells that destroy cancer. An interleukin made in a laboratory, called interleukin-2, IL-2, or aldesleukin (Proleukin), is used to treat kidney cancer and skin cancer, including melanoma. Common side effects of IL-2 treatment include weight gain and low blood pressure, which can be treated with other medications. Some people may also experience flu-like symptoms.
Cancer vaccines
A vaccine is another method used to help the body fight disease. A vaccine exposes the immune system to a protein (antigen) that triggers the immune system to recognize and destroy that protein or related materials. There are two types of cancer vaccines: prevention vaccines and treatment vaccines.
Prevention vaccine. A prevention vaccine is given to a person with no symptoms of cancer to prevent the development of a specific type of cancer or another cancer-related disease. For example, Gardasil is a vaccine that prevents a person from being infected with the human papillomavirus (HPV), a virus known to cause cervical cancer and some other types of cancer. It was the first FDA-approved vaccine for cancer. Cervarix is another vaccine that is approved to prevent cervical cancer in girls and women. Learn more about HPV vaccination for cervical cancer and the role of HPV in other cancers. In addition, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all children should receive a vaccine that prevents infection with the hepatitis B virus, which may cause liver cancer.
Treatment vaccine. A treatment vaccine helps the body's immune system fight cancer by training it to recognize and destroy cancer cells. It may prevent cancer from coming back, eliminate any remaining cancer cells after other types of treatment, or stop cancer cell growth. A treatment vaccine is designed to be specific, which means it should target the cancerous cells without affecting healthy cells. At this time, sipuleucel-T (Provenge) is the only treatment vaccine approved in the United States. It is designed for treating metastatic prostate cancer. Additional cancer treatment vaccines are still in development and only available through clinical trials.

Questions to ask the doctor
Talk with your doctor about whether immunotherapy may be part of your treatment plan. If so, consider asking the following questions:
- What type of immunotherapy do you recommend? Why?
- What are the goals of this treatment?
- Will immunotherapy be my only treatment? If not, what other treatments will be a part of my treatment plan?
- How will I receive immunotherapy treatment and how often?
- What are the possible side effects of immunotherapy, both in the short term and the long term?
- How will this treatment affect my daily life? Will I be able to work, exercise, and perform my usual activities?
- What clinical trials of immunotherapies are open to me?
- Whom should I call for questions or problems?

We are devastated to report that a three-month-old Pit Bull puppy named Joey was thrown from a car in Brentwood, Long Island, on Saturday. A witness found the tiny 10-pound pup in a plastic bag near the Sagtikos State Parkway, covered in fleas and crying out for help. Joey suffered three broken vertebrae in his neck and is recovering at the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island.
The ASPCA is offering a reward of $15,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case. This reward is in addition to a $5,000 reward offered by the Suffolk County SPCA. We are also providing a $10,000 grant to the Veterinary Medical Center to offset some of the costs of treating and caring for Joey.
"We were both outraged and saddened to hear about this disturbing case of violent abuse, and the callousness that was demonstrated by those responsible," says Matt Bershadker, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Group. "While our ultimate hope is that these types of heinous acts never occur, this is a message that cruelty toward animals will not be tolerated. We are pleased to be in a position to help those who are helping Joey."
If you have information related to Joey's case, please contact the Suffolk County SPCA by calling (631) 382-7722.
Animal cruelty is a crime in every state—if you see something, call 911. Please join our battle against animal cruelty today!
Anyone who treats a helpless animal in this way deserves whatever the law brings upon them. I believe in an eye for an eye so these cowardly criminals should have the same brought on them, 10 fold!!!!!!
If Joey needs a forever home he has one here in cincinnati. I foster for Luvfurmutts and have been rescuing pits for a couple years now. I would love to show him the love he deserves..
People are just crazy!!! It is hard to beleive someone would do that to an animal!! And we wonder why our nation is so screwed up! My prayers are with little Joey.
People are just crazy!!! It is hard to beleive someone would do that to an animal!! And we wonder why our nation is so screwed up! My prayers are with little Joey.
People that do this should be executed, plain and simple.
It saddens me to know that there ate people in this world that can pick on a defenseless little pup .Who I'm their right mind could be mean is to abuse one of our Lord's animals we ate suppose to be her e to Cate for them in every way possible not torture or abuse them. My heart goes out to Joey am all other animals that are done this way . May those who do these life of this to these animals rot in hell. And may God bless those of you who care for them all.
I hope these scumbags are caught, and may they burn in hell!
This breaks my heart and is so sickening and senseless. What is wrong with people?! Thoughts are with Joey and that he makes a full recovery. And to whoever did this, you'll get yours.
Healing angel for Joey-(..)- and Lord help the human species.
Please keep all of us informed on Joey's recovery process. I just lost my little dog and of course, I haven't been open to getting another because of the emotional commitment. Part of the package is saying goodbye that dreadful day sure to come. But after seeing this, I'm open to adopting Joey and providing a life of continuos love. IF JOEY NEEDS A HOME ASAP, HE HAS ONE WAITING. If this is possible, somebody contact me.

This is the thing though...i think this whole situation is suspicious because Tyson himself said he felt good before he even got traded...and now all of a sudden basically is "damaged goods"? I just need the whole situation cleared up
Tyson has done nothing all year, and he will continue to do nothing. The guy is mental, and is moody on the court. Sometimes the does not even jump for a rebound. VanGundy has called him out in two games he has commentated, and he was right with what he said about TC. The guy has more than just physical problems.

Turf Toe? Really? That's a career threatening injury?

That was my initial reaction to hearing the news, I'm worried about the luxury tax now. Also, there was reason to not believe the injury news considering it was leaked the day TC was traded.
You say being coddled gets you no where, insulting people and making snide remarks doesn't either.
more than he has been this season? that would be awful!Originally Posted by Nola Hornet
DUDE im so mad...I don't even want to see Chandlers face anymore. F the CCC is a frikn ally ooop people!!! It counts for 2 pts not 10pts. Thats all this guys worth right now. If we got wilcox, Cp3 would've toook his game to a whole nother level. Wilcox would have been the player of CP's dreams because he is very strong and athletic and fights for rebounds plus he's a very powerful dunker. UGH

I can see TC sitting on the bench in street cloths this Friday. Laughing on the sideline like he always does and acting like a little kid. He deserves to be ridiculed.
If he was so bad why would the team including CP# and West be pissed!!!
i was looking forward to Wilcox and Smith providing depth. i think we'd have been in better shape. now we have Chandler back, but good luck dealing him anywhere, even this summer.
hopefully Bower's got a plan up his sleeve before 2 pm tomorrow.
You guys act like the Hornets will cease to exist is they have to pay the lux tax.
I'm done being p!ssed about this Chandler deal/no deal... I wanted to see Wilcox and Joe Smith doin their thang in the arena.
But now... I think Peja should have his bags packed... if his 3-pointer isn't falling he's useless to us.

Fact of the matter is, the luxury tax of four million isn't nearly as important as keeping an expensive player that may not ever fully heal, at least for the life of his current deal. Facts come out yet your opinion remains the same. It's mindboggling.

When work is complete on the Tempe Town Downstream Dam in early 2016, it will be a modern marvel and the world's largest hydraulically controlled crest-gate dam. The new dam will replace the existing rubber dam, which has failed in recent years owing to age and UV damage.
In an operations-focused construction company like PCL, the emphasis is most often on building great projects. Traditionally we think of the tangible and lasting things completed when we think of construction: shopping malls, water treatment plants, bridges, and others too extensive to list.
Last year, PCL demonstrated its commitment to exceptional service in a phased turnover operation at the Chief Joseph Fish Hatchery in north-central Washington. Often, construction projects are handed over at full completion, but this newer approach features two distinct benefits for clients: early access to portions of a facility, and thorough systems integration at several checkpoints.
The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) represents the entire design and construction industry, and is the only organization that defines, promotes, and teaches the best practices in design-build. It was founded in October 1993 by Preston Haskell, founder and chairman of The Haskell Company, and the first executive director of DBIA.
The General Mills Hogwarts II (2) project—an expansion to the food processing and packaging manufacturing facility, and no relation to Harry Potter—required PCL to work within the plant's Good Manufacturing Practices, which prohibit unnecessary or exploratory holes from being drilled through walls and floors.

Customize Your Thermostat
Whether you still have an old mercury-vial thermostat or a newer, basic digital model, consider upgrading to a programmable thermostat. These allow you to program automatic temperature settings to suit the household's activity on a daily or weekly basis. For example, you can have your thermostat turn off the AC just before you leave the house for work, then turn it on again just before your return at the end of the day. This is one of the simple measures that Weiner recommends to homeowners looking to save energy on cooling. "It just makes it easier to manage household comfort without wasting energy."
Nancy Kellogg has a clever trick to capture a little free cooling and balance the temperatures inside her home. Her thermostat has a "fan only" option that simply runs the blower motor on her forced-air furnace. During hot days, when the upper-level rooms are heated up and the basement (where the furnace is) stays much cooler, she runs the fan for a while. The system draws in some of the cool basement air and circulates it throughout the house. In her case, this can lower the temperature in her living spaces by 6 to 7 degrees.

Cantor ran for re-election in Virginia's 7th Congressional District in the general election on November 4, 2014.
Prior to being the House majority leader, Cantor served as the House minority whip from 2008-2011.
Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, Cantor is an average Republican member of Congress, meaning he will vote with the Republican Party on the majority of bills.
Before entering politics, Cantor was a lawyer.[3]
The following is an abbreviated list of Cantor's professional and political career:[4]
- 2001-Present: U.S. House of Representatives
- 2011-Present: House Majority Leader
- 2008-2011: House Minority Whip
- 2005-2009: House Deputy Minority Whip
- 2003-2005: House Deputy Majority Whip
- 1992-2000: Virginia House of Delegates
Committee assignments
U.S. House
As majority leader, Cantor was not on any committees for the 113th congress.
As majority leader, Cantor was not on any committees for the 112th congress.
Legislative actions
113th Congress
The second session of the 113th Congress enacted into law 224 out of the 3215 introduced bills (7 percent). Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 4.2 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the second session.[5] For more information pertaining to Cantor's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[6]
National security
NSA surveillance programs amendment
The U.S. House of Representatives voted on July 24, 2013 to narrowly defeated an amendment brought by Justin Amash meant to halt the National Security Agency's bulk collection of surveillance data.[7] The amendment would have stripped funding for an NSA program that collects the telephone records of people in the United States, but not the content of calls.[8]
The vote scrambled the usual ideological fault lines in the House, with conservative Republicans siding with liberal Democrats.[9] The House voted 205-217 to defeat the amendment with more Democrats than Republicans voting in favor of the amendment.[10][8][11] From Amasha's own party, 134 Republicans voted against the amendment, with only 94 agreeing with it, while 111 Democrats voted for the amendment, with 83 voting against.[10]
Among the Republicans opposing the measure was Michele Bachmann. Bachmann defended the NSA's data collection programs, arguing that "here's no Fourth Amendment expectation of privacy or right to the business-record exception" concerning the collection of phone metadata.[10] She continued by saying, "If we take this program and remove from the United States the distinct advantage that we have versus any other country, it will be those who are seeking to achieve the goals of Islamic jihad who will benefit by putting the United States at risk, and it will be the United States which will be at risk. I believe that we need to win the War on Terror. We need to defeat the goals and aims of Islamic jihad, and for that reason I will be voting no on the Amash amendment."[10] Bachmann was joined by, among others, Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Cantor in opposing the amendment.[10]
The House on July 24, 2013 overwhelmingly passed a separate NSA amendment, put forward by Rep. Mike Pompeo, that was intended as a middle ground but was blasted by civil liberties advocates as achieving nothing.[8] The measure would ensure that the NSA is barred from acquiring or storing the content of emails and phone calls of people in the United States, but it would allow the NSA to continue storing phone metadata.[8]
- See also: United States involvement in Syria
Cantor released a statement regarding congressional approval for intervention in Syria. He said, "I intend to vote to provide the President of the United States the option to use military force in Syria. Understanding that there are differing opinions on both sides of the aisle, it is up to President Obama to make the case to Congress and to the American people that this is the right course of action, and I hope he is successful in that endeavor."[12]
Cantor voted in support of HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[13]
DHS Appropriations
Cantor voted in support of HR 2217 - the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 and was largely along party lines.[13]
Keystone Pipeline Amendment
Cantor voted in opposition of House Amendment 69, which would have amended HR 3 to "require that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security, conduct a study of the vulnerabilities of the Keystone XL pipeline to a terrorist attack and certify that necessary protections have been put in place." The amendment failed on May 22, 2013, with a vote of 176 - 239 and was largely along party lines.[13]
Cantor voted in support of HR 624 - the CISPA (2013). The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill would allow federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities.[14] The bill was largely supported by Republicans, but divided the Democratic Party.[13]
Farm bill
On January 29, 2014, the U.S. House approved the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, H.R. 2642, also known as the Farm Bill.[15] The bill passed by a vote of 251-166. The nearly 1,000-page bill reformed and continued various programs of the Department of Agriculture through 2018. The $1 trillion bill expanded crop insurance for farmers by $7 billion over the next decade and created new subsidies for rice and peanut growers that would kick in when prices drop.[16][17] However, cuts to the food stamp program cut an average of $90 per month for 1.7 million people in 15 states.[17] Cantor voted with 161 other Republican representatives in favor of the bill.
2014 Budget
On January 15, 2014, the Republican-run House approved H.R. 3547, a $1.1 trillion spending bill to fund the government through September 30, 2014.[18][19] The House voted 359-67 for the 1,582-page bill, with 64 Republicans and three Democrats voting against the bill.[19] The omnibus package included 12 annual spending bills to fund federal operations.[20] It increased the paychecks of federal workers and military personnel by 1 percent, increased Head Start funding for early childhood education by $1 billion, reduced funding to the Internal Revenue Service and the Environmental Protection Agency, and protected the Affordable Care Act from any drastic cuts. Cantor voted with the majority of the Republican party in favor of the bill.[18]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
On September 30, 2013, the House passed a final stopgap spending bill before the shutdown went into effect. The bill included a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and would have also stripped the bill of federal subsidies for congressional members and staff. It passed through the House with a vote of 228-201.[21] At 1 a.m. on October 1, 2013, one hour after the shutdown officially began, the House voted to move forward with going to a conference. In short order, Sen. Harry Reid rejected the call to conference.[22] Cantor voted to approve the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[23]
The shutdown finally ended on October 16, 2013, when the House took a vote on HR 2775 after it was approved by the Senate. The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funds the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[24] The House passed the legislation shortly after the Senate, by a vote of 285-144, with all 144 votes against the legislation coming from Republican members. Cantor voted for HR 2775.[25]
Cantor urged Congress to sit down and talk on October 1, 2013, the first day of the government shutdown. He said, "I just think that we need to talk. None of us want to be here and the only way to resolve this is to sit down and talk and to iron out the differences," Cantor said in an interview. "I don't think that there is any other way to do this other than to sit down and talk." He added, "The American people did elect this president, but the American people also elected a Republican Congress. So we have a divided government because the American people voted that way. They expect us to sit down and work things out and work together." Cantor did not think the public was concerned much with partisan politics, despite the shutdown. He said, "I don't think that the working moms and dads and families in Richmond are waking up thinking about the Republican Party, the Democrat Party, they're worried about their financial security, their health care security and frankly our nation's security."[26]
Cantor planned to place his pay in escrow for the duration of the shutdown.[27]
Farm Bill 2013
Cantor was blasted by several members of Congress over his failure to get the farm bill passed. Democrat Marcia Fudge came away from a meeting ready to make concessions on food stamps. But her meeting with Cantor left her frustrated, "He doesn't want a bill. Just in terms of our discussion, it was clear to me, it was my sense that he really does not want a bill." Cantor's office claimed he wanted to create a replacement for the nutrition progam--the old one was dropped at his urging from the farm bill in June 2013.[28] Back in June 2013, Minority Whip Leader Steny Hoyer traded barbs with Cantor over the initial bill failure. Hoyer blamed Cantor, alleging he "...turned a bipartisan bill... into a partisan bill." Cantor retorted, "It really is a disappointing day. I think that the minority has been a disappointing player today."[29]
Peterson expressed frustration with House Majority Leader Eric Cantor while at Farmfest in Minnesota in August 2013. Peterson said Cantor is the main roadblock to get a farm bill passed. He added, "I don't get along with that guy and I don't know what to do about him."[30]
Morton Memos Prohibition
Cantor supported House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain illegal aliens residing in the United States.[31] The vote largely followed party lines.[32]
Repealing Obamacare
Cantor supported all attempts to repeal or delay the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.[33]
Catastrophic coverage
Cantor blasted the decision in December 2013 that would allow people who lost their health care as a result of the ACA, to purchase catastrophic insurance policies no matter their age. Cantor said, "Our entire health care system can't be fundamentally changed at any given time subject to the random impulses of President Obama. The White House actions clearly prove ObamaCare can't work as designed. It's time for ObamaCare to be delayed for all."[34]
Social issues
Cantor supported HR 1797 - Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The resolution passed the House on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 228 - 196. The purpose of the bill is to ban abortions that would take place 20 or more weeks after fertilization.[35]
Previous congressional sessions
Fiscal Cliff
Cantor voted against the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. He was 1 of 151 Republicans that voted against the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257 - 167 vote on January 1, 2013.[36]
In the special election to fill Rodney Alexander's 5th District seat in Louisiana, Cantor endorsed state senator Neil Riser (R).[37][38]
Political positions
Cantor began abstaining from earmarks in 2004, but he was joined by four other Republican U.S. representatives in 2010. In March 2010, House Republicans passed a year-long ban on all earmarking. This meant all Republicans were to abstain from approving money within appropriations bills aimed for specific programs, states or localities.
Republicans announced another moratorium for fiscal year 2012.[39]
Comments on Randel's arrest
Although Cantor had previously said there should be "zero-tolerance" for ethics violations within the Republican party, a statement made by an aide suggests a softer stance following Representative Trey Radel's arrest and guilty plea for cocaine possession. Cantor's aide said Cantor is "glad he is seeking treatment and encourages him in his recovery. This is clearly a difficult time for him and his family."[40]
Kids Act
In January 2014, Steny Hoyer attacked Eric Cantor prior to Cantor's speech at the Brookings Institute. Cantor's speech promoted school choice as a way of reducing income inequality. Hoyer said, "Talk is cheap. Performance is what pays off. The Kids Act provides for authorization, not appropriation, for pediatric research. Now, the [National Institutes of Health] spends $800 million annually on pediatric health. This bill, which they talk about and which Mr. Cantor thinks made a good statement, does make a good statement about the need for kids research [but Republicans] voted for a budget offered by [Paul] Ryan that would have the effect of cutting NIH by $6 billion, if the cuts were applied across the board. And of course politically it sounds very good because they take away from politicians and conventions. I don't think anybody cares whether they take that money away or not, whether you have the public pay for that or the private sector pay for it." Hoyer concluded, "It's very nice to go around the country and say you're for education, but … you cut the Labor-Health bill by 22.6 percent in your budget. It's very nice to say you're for No Child Left Behind, but you didn't fund it. So talk is cheap, performance is what counts, it's the Reagan 'Trust but Verify. Okay, so you say nice things. What are you doing?"[41] Cantor's spokesman Doug Heye responded, "House Republicans put talk into action by passing the Student Success Act, which included a Cantor amendment directing Title I money follow the student, and overwhelmingly approving the Gabriella Miller Kids First Act. We're especially grateful for the 72 House Democrats who rejected both Mr. Hoyer's cynicism and whip and voted for Gabriella Miller's bill."[41]
Presidential preference

Harlequins beat Leicester 30-23 on Saturday to win the Premiership title.
Harlequins controlled the game for large periods, and were more clinical when presented with an opportunity. Leicester were at their most dangerous in the second quarter and led 13-11, that was until No 8 Thomas Waldrom was sin-binned fro cynical play.
Harlequins scored nine points in Waldrom's absence, the accurate boot of All Blacks flyhalf Nick Evans captialising on every kickable opportunity. England captain Chris Robshaw scored an important try in the 57th minute and the conversion by Evans took Harlequins to a commanding 27-13 lead. Another three-pointer all but secured the result.
The Tigers hit back strongly with a converted try, and a further penalty by George Ford put them within sight of levelling the scores. Ultimately they left themselves with too much to do in the final quarter, and Harlequins held out for a deserved victory.

More energy than before I had my 3 kids | (Posted on 1/25/15)
Review by Post
I started taking this 3 weeks post surgery and wow! I seroulsy had more energy and happy mood then i've had in 5 years. I felt like I had more energy than I did before I had my 3 kids (ages 7, 4, and 2). I ran out last week and was taking some Oragnic stuff I got a local grocery store and thought I was just becasue the flu was in my house. NOPE! I noticed it was because I was taking the old brand I used to take. Ordering in bulk right now! mama need her energy with all 3 kids and hubby has the flu.

Review by Linda
I started taking these severe critical omegas after my accident. I was amazed how quickly I began to see and feel results!! They helped immensely with my short term memory loss and definitely helped improve my concentration. In my opinion, this is one of the BEST on the market.
Still waiting | (Posted on 11/13/14)
Review by Jeanne
I have only been taking this for a few weeks, but I believe this is helping some joint problems , but the verdict is still out....I will see in another few weeks if it is indeed the magic! The bottle is way to big for the 60 pills, they could easily cut it in half! My bottle, on opening, had a fishy smell and I do burp up some of that taste, nothing that I can't handle though. In reading other reviews I think they must of changed something if you were not able to smell or taste them!
good product | (Posted on 10/16/14)
Review by Melinda
I like Norwegian Gold for the range of omegas and the additions of lipase and Vit D3, which at my age I look for wherever possible.
Reasons for the neutral rating:
-large gelatin capsules sometimes get caught halfway down after swallowing
-bottle seems way too large for 60 capsules
-cost is higher than I would prefer in a fish oil
The natural orange flavoring helps eliminate any fishy taste or bottle smell and I haven't noticed a fishy taste repeating on me later. I always take this product with a meal along with the digestive enzymes by RenewLife.

Review by Super Critical Omega
I've been using super critical omega for about three years. I purchase a bottle about every 6 weeks and typically take one capsule a day. Two if I remember. I was diagnosed with chondromalacia and given the recommendation to have surgery. Well, I credit the fish oil in helping relieve or extinguish pain in my knee even when the weather is cold and damp. I notice a correspondence between my ability to walk several flights of stairs and the return of pain in my knees when I forget to take the softgels for a week. Twice in the last 5 months a strong fish smell was evident upon opening a bottle: I refrigerate the bottle and it seems to diminish the smell. Wondering about the whys of the smell: never know know if the bottle I'm picking up will have a fishy smell or not. Thus, the 4-star rating.
Different package, different formula? | (Posted on 6/13/13)
Review by Gene
I took Norwegian Gold Super Critical Omega in 2012. It was recommended by a friend as a "non-fishy" supplement and he was right. I went through several bottles without much of a problem.
However, a recent order unveiled a new package. It also revealed a couple of surprises:
1. Upon opening the bottle, there was a much stronger scent of fish than I recall from the previous bottles (which used the old packaging graphics).
2. Handling the capsules would leave an oily residue on my hands and fingers.
So far, there haven't been any side-effects so perhaps it's much ado about nothing. But something is definitely different about the formulation and only time will tell if the changes have any other effects.
On another note, customers expecting these capsules to be "burp-free" may be slightly disappointed. My experience is that while these don't cause you to burp, burping after taking them can result in a rising aftertaste under certain conditions. I usually take them at breakfast time and by late afternoon, I can get an aftertaste in my throat. It's still much milder than other supplements I've tried, but it's still fishy.

Review by Critical User
Have used Renew Life (Super Critical Omega) for over 2 years and have been a strong supporter. The last order I received though, I noticed the new packaging and a new problem. I've never noticed a strong smell leaching from the capsules in the past, nor a bit of the fish oil sweating from them either. Also noticed that Omega 8 was removed from the new formula, Why? I hope this is a one time event and that the company will look into it in order to maintain the level of excellence I've always enjoyed.
no results..YET | (Posted on 2/18/13)

I've been using norwegian gold ultimate fish oils, super critical omega. And its helped me so much especially with my anxiety problem. I've tried other omega 3 products, but I've finally found a product that I can rely on for the rest of my life. I am truly dedicated to your product, & I'm very thankful that its helped me so much with not only my anxiety but my depression as well. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating such a great product. Thank you again!
No Noticeable Change as of yet | (Posted on 1/10/13)
Review by patatsea
I'm only rating this product 3 stars for now because I have not seen any noticeable changes since I started taking them 1-1/2 months ago. I take two per day. Having said that, I will wait a couple more months to see if anything changes and then I will re-review. You can also get this product at Walgreens (exact same product from Brenda) at $16.99 for 30 tabs on sale. Normal price is $26.99 at Walgreens.

Truly burp free | (Posted on 3/15/12)
Review by Apeksha
I am a huge fan of the Super Critical Omega. As a vegetarian, I never thought I'd take fish oil because I would never tolerate it. But this formula is TRULY burp and smell free. Its seamless. And has really helped me add omegas and needed additional vitamin D into my diet...easily. Thank you for this exceptional product.
Second chance at life. | (Posted on 2/14/12)
Review by Earl
About 15 years ago I started feeling very rundown and not myself. I went to several doctors and had a different diagnosis from every one. One doctor said I was bipolar, one doctor said I had disthymia, one said I was experiencing a major depressive episode, one doctor even said I had chronic fatigue syndrome. Of course for every diagnosis I was put on various medications. I figure that over the years I've had every anti-depressant available. Nothing really worked. Than I tried your super critical omega's thinking at least they couldn't hurt, but not expecting much help. It took a couple of months but one day I realized that I felt better. I didn't want to get my hopes up but after a few weeks I knew it was for real, I felt better ! I felt the way I knew I should, the way I used to. It had been so long since my so-called depression had set in that feeling good was a truly unique experience. I revel in it everyday and feel like I have a second chance at life. I don't take any medication anymore and I couldn't be happier. I realized I hadn't been taking care of myself with diet and how important diet can be. I will continue to use your products and enjoy the benefits. Thank you so much.

Doctor's orders all in one gel-cap | (Posted on 10/11/11)
Review by Grace
I can not take Lipitor, etc, and my doctor put me on Beyond Red Yeast Rice and 3000 plus mgs of fish oil with Lipase, a day to lower cholesterol and triglycerides.
Wow! No bad side effects like the statins, no shutting down my kidneys, no sever muscle weakness, no swelling, no aching joints. Wow! Good lab readings within 60 days and for the past year. On top of that I have slowly lost 20 pounds due to feeling so much better and not craving sweets all the time. Don't know what I would do without your product. I tried less mgs a day and lab numbers crept back up; went back to 3 gel-caps a day and lab numbers stay down. Of course, my doctor monitors all my meds and suppliments.
I researched your Super Critical Omega and am glad this is the right mix for my system.
Thank you so very much. A grateful 65 yr old female.

Four hours ago I just took one Norwegian Gold Super Critical capsule and I am amazed that in that short period of time my sore muscles were gone! I play and teach Tennis. I can't wait to see all the other benefits of your Great Product
Feel better than I did 35 years ago | (Posted on 7/27/11)
Review by Doyle
We were introduced to Renew Life products approximately two years ago. We're naturally skeptics and thought "oh well, they surely won't hurt us, we'll give them a try".
We began by using Norwegian Gold Super Critical Omega Ultimate Fish oil. It smells citrusy and doesn't cause burping...nice. We're still taking that. Brenda Watson recommended a regimen of both information (books and DVD) and products. We first did a body cleanse that lasted several weeks. A similar time frame liver cleanse followed. We each then used several different products as per our existing conditions.
Today we feel better than we've felt in thirty five years. I no long have severe neck or back pain and have more enerty than ever. My acid reflux has disappeared along with a puffy stomach.
This testimonial cannot do justice to the improvement in our lives that we feel was brought on by our using these products and a few dietary chanages.
The information DVD's and books were presented in a manner that made us feel it was for each of our own personal benefits. Brenda Watson is a dynamic speaker on these topics. We are excetionally active people. We're presently caring for and cleaning other people's homes and in our spare time we're renovating our home ourselves. We are both 68 years old.
Thank you for helping me get back on track | (Posted on 4/18/11)

I can't begin to tell you, Brenda and all the people at Renew Life, how much your products have helped me! I am 84 years young (85 in August) and started taking your probiotic, Ultimate Flora and your Norwegian Gold Super Critical and Critical DHA. The improvement in my health is remarkable. I have more energy, much more flexible, greatly reduced stiffness, wonderful sense of well-being, sharp memory, better skin and hair - the list goes on. I even got back to using my exercise trampoline and started singing again with my church choir.
Thank goodness I found your products at this stage of my life. Best regards to everyone there and thank you all for helping me get back on track with my life.
Concentration is key | (Posted on 3/28/11)
Review by Bradley J
1 a day is awesome. People think 1000mg gel cap means 1000mg of omega 3 but that usually isn't the case. How is this oil concentrated?

Review by Travis
The doc wanted me on fish oil and the health food store said this is the most potent one in a capsule. I can't take more than one or two, so I love this one.
Great fish oil | (Posted on 3/24/11)
Review by Steve
I really hate taking a lot of capsules. I love the fact that I can get the dose of omega 3's that my doctor reccomended for me in just one capsule a day. Also, I don't like the taste of fish so I dread any repeat. I have never burped this product(unlike some others I have tried). Also the added vitamin D3 is a huge help and saves me from having to buy a D3 supplement.
It's already in our diet | (Posted on 3/9/11)
Review by bob
Yo garf - people get enough Omega 6s naturally in their diets, which is why it's not necessary in additional supplementation.
question | (Posted on 3/5/11)
Review by garf
My concern is that taking Omega 3's imbalances Omega 6's that are crucial. Renew Life should also offer an Omega 6 product.
This is a good one | (Posted on 2/16/11)
Review by Bill D
Been on this for 3 months. Its the highest dose of omega-3 that i could find in one capsule and i don't want to take a handful. Its true - no burp and in the long run its working out about the same cost as the three a day that i used to take
Best I have found | (Posted on 11/23/10)
Review by EZ Joints
With my aging joints I have tried a lot of fish oils. The cheap products at places like Wal-Mart did not work out cheap because I was taking so many to get a good dose of the omega-3 that matters. With this one I only need 3 a day because its the strongest i have seen and although its not cheap the improvement I feel in my bones and joints is well worth it

ASM Statement on the FY 2014 Omnibus Appropriations Bill
CONTACT: Jim Sliwa
WASHINGTON, DC – January 17, 2014 – The American Society for Microbiology (ASM), the largest single life sciences Society with 39,000 members, commends Congress on the passage of the omnibus spending bill funding the federal government through the rest of the fiscal year 2014. The passage of this bill represents a step in the right direction although funding for life sciences research is far from ideal, given the abundance of scientific opportunities and programs that cannot be funded and pursued.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014, HR 3547, recognizes that basic research and public health programs are a national priority and the bill provides some needed increases which begin to reinvest in the federal agencies and programs of the NIH, NSF, CDC, DOE Science Office, FDA, USDA research, and other research funding agencies that have lost ground in this constrained budget environment.
"The additional resources provided by the Bipartisan Budget Act, the agreement which set discretionary funding at $1.1 trillion, a 2.6 percent increase from the sequester-reduced level of FY 2013, will help to partially rollback and eliminate some of the harmful sequestration cuts for research, but federal funding for research remains too low, even without adjusting for purchasing power lost over the past decade," says ASM President Jeff F. Miller of the University of California, Los Angeles. "We are encouraged that stability has been returned to the budget process for FY 2014, and we urge Congress and the Administration to build on bipartisan efforts to restore regular order to the appropriations process for the future, to continue work to find a permanent replacement to sequestration under the Budget Control Act and to increase funding for innovative research and programs essential for public health." The ASM urges Congress and the Administration to provide additional increased investments that will enable the scientific progress that is needed to improve the health, security, and economic well-being of the American public.
The ASM Office of Public Affairs tracks federal agency research and public health budgets and provides summary information to reflect the outcome of the appropriations process as it unfolds throughout the year and maintains a web page dedicated to the appropriations process at http://www.asm.org/RD-FY2014.
