Ryan appeared on the 2012 presidential ticket as Mitt Romney's vice presidential running mate. Despite losing the presidential race, Ryan won re-election to the House in 2012.[1]
Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, Ryan is an average Republican member of Congress, meaning he will vote with the Republican Party on the majority of bills.
After graduating from Miami University of Ohio, Ryan moved to Washington D.C., where he put his political science degree to use as an aide to Wisconsin Senator Robert Kasten and a speechwriter for deceased former congressman Jack Kemp. Prior to entering Congress in 1999 at age 28, Ryan also worked on the policy staff for a conservative think tank called Empower America.[2][3]

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.[7] For more information pertaining to Ryan's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[8]
National security
Ryan voted for 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.[9]
DHS Appropriations
Ryan voted for 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 that was largely along party lines.[10]
Keystone Pipeline Amendment
Ryan voted against 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.[11]
Ryan voted for 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. The bill was largely supported by Republicans, but divided the Democratic Party.[12]
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.[13] 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.[14] Ryan voted to approve the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[15]
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.[16] 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. Ryan voted against HR 2775.[17]
Ryan said he donated his salary while the government was shutdown.[18]
Ryan spoke with the press on the first day of the shutdown, October 1, 2013. He suggested an agreement to end the shutdown could be tied in with the debt ceiling, which hits its limit on October 17, 2013. He said, "We have a debt limit coming. Most budget agreements in the past have always involved debt limit increases. We think that's the forcing mechanism, just like the Budget Control Act that President Obama signed before." He added, "That's what we think we need. A forcing action to bring two parties together." He added, "We don't want to close the government down. We want it open. But we want fairness ... We want a budget agreement that gets the debt under control."[19]
He wrote an op-ed on October 9, 2013, and then went on Bill Bennett's radio show to address the shutdown and entitlements. He said, "I don't know that within the next two weeks we have a viable strategy for actually repealing Obamacare, every piece of it." He added, "We're going to keep going after Obamacare. I'm totally committed to dismantling this law because what we're learning soon here is that's it's going to do so much damage to this country. Premiums are skyrocketing, people are losing the coverage they had, businesses are knocking people down less than 40 hours a week, it's just terrible." In his op-ed published in The Wall Street Journal, he said, "... we need a complete rethinking of government's approach to helping the most vulnerable, and a complete rethinking of government's approach to health care. But right now, we need to find common ground. We need to open the federal government. We need to pay our bills today — and make sure we can pay our bills tomorrow."[20]
In November 2013, Ryan said there will not be a shutdown in January when the spending bill runs out. Ryan said that either they will strike a deal with Congress or keep government funding the same. He also added the Obamacare defunding attempt will not be repeated again in January, explaining his fellow Republicans now realize it's not discretionary spending-"ObamaCare is an entitlement, they are not related."[21]
Farm Bill
- See also: United States Farm Bill 2013
Ryan voted for the Farm Bill on July 11, 2013. The bill passed in a 216-208 vote.[22] The bill passed included farm policy, but did not include food stamps.[23]
Budget agreement
Ryan released a statement following the bipartisan budget agreement he helped negotiate. He said, "As a conservative, I deal with the situation as it exists. I deal with the way things are, not necessarily the way things I want them to be. I've passed three budgets in a row that reflect my priorities and my principles and everything I wanted to accomplish. We're in divided government. I realize I'm not going to get that. So I'm not going to go a mile in the direction I wanted to go to, but I will take a few steps in the right direction. This agreement takes us in the right direction, from my perspective, for the very reasons I laid out before."[24]
He added, "This says let's cut spending in a smarter way, some permanent spending cuts to pay for some temporary sequester relief, resulting in net deficit reduction without raising taxes. That's fiscal responsibility. That's fiscal conservatism. And it adds a greater stability to the situation. It prevents government shutdowns, which we don't think is anyone's interest. That to me is the right thing to do, and that is a conservative looking at the situation as it is, making it better."[25]
He elaborated on the agreement saying, "The House budget reflects our ultimate goals. It balanced the budget within 10 years, it pays off the debt, but I realize that that is not going to pass in this divided government. I see this agreement as a step in the right direction. In divided government, you don't always get what you want. That said, we still can make progress toward our goals."[25]
Morton Memos Prohibition
Ryan voted for 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.[26] The vote largely followed party lines.[27]
Health Care Reform Rules
Ryan voted for House Amendment 450 - Requires Congressional Approval for Any Rules Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The amendment was adopted by the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 227-185. The amendment requires that all changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act be approved by Congress before taking effect. The vote was largely along party lines.[28]
Social issues
Ryan voted for HR 1797 - Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The resolution passed the House on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 228 - 196 that largely followed party lines. The purpose of the bill is to ban abortions that would take place 20 or more weeks after fertilization.[29]
Previous congressional sessions
Fiscal Cliff
Ryan voted for 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 85 Republicans that voted in favor of the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257-167 vote on January 1, 2013.[30]
Book deal
On September 22, 2013, it was announced that Ryan was in the process of writing a book about the current and future state of conservatism. The book, "Where Do We Go From Here?", is set for publication in August 2014. This is Paul's second book. His first book, "Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders," was co-authored with fellow Republican Reps. Eric Cantor and Kevin McCarthy in 2010.[31]
September 2013 NYC event
Six of the Republican Party's leaders and potential 2016 nominees jointly headlined a fundraiser for the Republican National Committee (RNC) in New York in September 2013.
The even was hosted by RNC Chairman Reince Priebus and Jets owner Woody Johnson on September 23, 2013.[32] It was held at Johnson's home.[32]
It was a dinner and reception with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Senators Marco Rubio and Rand Paul and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, as well as Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and Rep. Ryan, who are listed as the "special guests."[32]
It represented a major force of star power at a single event on behalf of the party and it featured some of the party's brightest future talent, many of whom represent different wings of the GOP.[32]
Future Speaker of the House?
Ryan's name has been tossed around as a potential successor to John Boehner as Speaker of the House. While this could happen, it doesn't appear to be in the immediate future as Boehner is running for re-election in 2014 and Ryan has been mentioned as taking over the Means and Ways Committee in 2015.[33]
Presidential preference
Paul Ryan endorsed Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election. [34]
Alabama's 1st special election
Republican candidate Wells Griffith picked up a high-profile endorsement from Ryan on August 7, 2013, for the special election for Alabama's 1st Congressional District.[35] "I've known Wells Griffith for a long time and consider him a true friend," said Ryan. "Wells is committed to moving our country and our party forward. His dedication to advancing conservative principles is admirable and he will be a strong conservative voice for South Alabama."[35]
That set off one of Griffith's challengers, columnist Quin Hillyer, who attacked Ryan for his views on immigration and labor relations.[36]
"Alabama's economy is dependent on being a right to work state, but Ryan keeps adding to a long record of limiting employee freedom and driving up costs via support for the horrible Davis-Bacon law and other suck-ups to union bosses," Hillyer said.
Hillyer also accused Ryan of abandoning conservatives in Congress. He sharply criticized Ryan for his efforts to strike a deal to pass immigration reform in the House.[37]
"I have been a longtime admirer of Paul Ryan, but he has increasingly proved to be a disappointment and out of touch with Alabama values," Hillyer said. "Ryan is the driving force in the House for amnesty, against the principles laid out by our own Senator Jeff Sessions. If one of my opponents wants a leftward-moving Paul Ryan, he can have him."[37]
New York's 21st District
Ryan endorsed Republican Elise Stefanik in the 2014 election cycle for New York's 21st Congressional District. He said, "My friend Elise Stefanik is running for Congress to fight for hardworking families in upstate New York. She's got the values and the work ethic to get the job done. She's part of a new generation of leaders who will bring fresh ideas to Washington, and she has my full support."[38]
Ryan ran in the 2014 election for the U.S. House to represent Wisconsin's 1st District. Ryan sought the Republican nomination in the primary. The general election took place November 4, 2014.
Ryan won re-election in 2012.[39] He was unopposed in the Republican primary and defeated Democrat Rob Zerban and Libertarian Keith Deschler in the November general election.[40]
While Ryan was selected by Mitt Romney on August 11 to be his running mate, Wisconsin law allowed Ryan to pursue his House re-election at the same time. If Ryan had been elected for both offices, the state would have held a special election to fill his U.S. House seat.[41]
In 2011 redistricting, The Hill published a list of the Top Ten House Members who were helped by redistricting.[42] Ryan ranked 9th on the list.[42] The article noted that the redistricting process, controlled by Republicans in the state House, was rushed through rather quickly ahead of recalls happening in the state, and added a few more points to the Republican base in Ryan's district.[42]

The Brooks Flyer is an English made leather saddle that essentially takes the comfortable spring system of the B66 and pairs it with the classic top of the B17 bringing some touring comfort to a fan favorite. By combining the top of their flagship model to the single-railed classic spring system of the B66, the Flyer provides supreme comfort for riders sitting in a more aerodynamic position with the handlebars level or possibly lower than the saddle height. Cyclist of any ilk can appreciate a comfortable saddle as it's one of few actual contact points when riding a bicycle. One thing anyone who's ridden a Brooks saddle will tell you is that they really do improve with age; by treating the leather properly and simply putting in miles, the saddle will begin to break-in and form to the rider's seat bones creating a comfortable and personalized riding experience.

From Barnes & NobleThe Barnes & Noble Review
In New England folklore, cod was the fish that Christ multiplied to feed the masses. Satan tried to do the same thing, but since his hands were burning hot, the fish wriggled away. The burn mark of Satan's thumb and forefinger left black stripes; hence the cod's differently striped and poorly regarded relative, the haddock.
How influential has the codfish been in the world's history? Wars have been fought over it, entire regional diets have been founded on it, the settlement of North America was based on it — and just recently a war nearly broke out on the high seas over it. Who knew? In Mark Kurlansky's fascinating book Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World, the author offers a fascinating new perspective on world history.
Cod — winner of the 1998 James Beard Award for Writing on Food — traces the fish's thousand-year history across four continents. Kurlansky begins with present-day Newfoundland, where trouble has been abundant as a fishing crisis has stripped fishermen of their occupations and identity. He then examines the far reaches of cod's history with the Vikings, who pursued the fish across the Atlantic, and the Pilgrims, who set sail for the New World to pursue freedom of religion and to live on fishing — with neither the skills nor the equipment to do so.
Kurlansky introduces readers to some key historical figures in the history of this fish that changed the world. There is Bartholomew Gosnold, who named Cape Cod in 1602. Clarence Birdseye founded the frozen cod industry in the 1930s. Andthereare the countless fishermen in towns like Gloucester, St. Malo, and Newlyn — from Nova Scotia to the coasts of England, Brazil, and West Africa — all of whose livelihoods are currently being threatened by the global ecological crisis of the codfish. Sebastian Junger, take note: What made your runaway bestseller The Perfect Storm possible? Cod — the fish that changed the world.

Faulty Towers The Dining Experience: Interactive Theatre International
This critically acclaimed show continues to win five-star reviews and standing ovations.
This pitch perfect tribute to Fawlty Towers starts as the audience waits to be seated then hurtles along for two hours of fully immersive, highly improvised and site-specific comedy theatre.
With only a third of the show scripted, everything stays fresh as Basil, Sybil and Manuel serve up madcap mayhem and a three-course meal – with the audience playing the part of their restaurant diners. Just don't mention the war!
Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is an affectionate homage to Fawlty Towers the TV series. The original TV scripts are not used.
Ticket price includes a three course meal with coffee and two hour interactive show. Drinks are not included in the price.
Customers must arrive at Ffresh bar half an hour before the performance starts.
Interactive Theatre International
Interactive Theatre International is a Professional Theatre Company based in Brisbane, Australia, and founded in 1997. Interactive Theatre as a concept removes the boundaries normally associated with theatrical performance: they are not limited to the traditional stage of mainhouse theatre; and whilst some scripting is involved, a great deal of the performance is improvised, bouncing off ideas offered by audience members.

MINNEAPOLIS –August 2, 2013- CenterPoint Energy today filed an application with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) to change the company's natural gas distribution rates. The proposed change affects two components of the residential bill. First, CenterPoint Energy is proposing to increase the monthly Basic Charge for residential customers from $8 to $15 a month and second, to decrease the Delivery Charge from the current $0.17127 per therm (which includes the $0.00490 per therm for the Gas Affordability Service Program) to $0.12943 per therm. If approved, the net impact of the new rates will increase the average residential customer's bill by about $4 per month.
"CenterPoint Energy is working to modernize its infrastructure to ensure that our Minnesota customers continue to receive natural gas service safely and reliably," said Joe Vortherms, division vice president of CenterPoint Energy's regional gas operations. "These capital expenditures, in accordance with natural gas pipeline safety and integrity regulations, are the primary driver of this rate increase."
This filing seeks approval to change the distribution charge on a customer's natural gas bill, which makes up about 40 percent of the total bill and covers the cost of distributing natural gas. The filing does not apply to the cost of natural gas, which is the wholesale price the company pays for natural gas, and makes up about 60 percent of the bill. The wholesale price of natural gas changes monthly depending on market prices and is passed on directly to customers with no mark-up.
The principal reasons CenterPoint Energy is proposing to change base rates are:
- CenterPoint Energy is making, and will continue to make, significant capital expenditures in its Minnesota service territory. In accordance with natural gas pipeline safety and integrity regulations, these capital expenditures are necessary to maintain a safe and reliable system, to respond to significant public improvement requirements on the system, and to modernize the system with technology improvements.
- Establish rate designs that send proper price signals to customers.
- Overall revenue recovery at a level that meets the company's financial objectives.
If approved, the new rates would generate approximately $44 million or 5 percent in additional revenue on an annual basis. The effect on individual monthly bills will vary depending on natural gas use.
The MPUC is generally allowed 10 months to issue a final decision on general rate filings. But customers will see the first change on bills on October 1, 2013, if approved by the MPUC, interim (temporary) rates are expected to take effect until a final decision is made. If the final rates are lower than interim rates, CenterPoint Energy will refund customers the difference including interest. If final rates are higher than interim rates, customers will receive no additional charges for natural gas used while interim rates were in effect.
In 2014, public hearings will be held to provide customers and other interested parties the opportunity to comment on the rate request, followed by formal hearings at the MPUC.
Customers with questions about the proposed change to natural gas distribution rates can call CenterPoint Energy at 612-372-4727 or toll-free 800-245-2377, or visit the company's website at CenterPointEnergy.com/RateCase.
CenterPoint Energy, Inc., headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a domestic energy delivery company that includes electric transmission & distribution, natural gas distribution and competitive natural gas sales and services operations. The company serves more than five million metered customers primarily in Arkansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas. The company also owns a 58.3 percent limited partner interest in a midstream partnership it jointly controls with OGE Energy Corp. with operations in major natural gas and liquids-rich producing areas of Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana. With more than 8,700 employees, CenterPoint Energy and its predecessor companies have been in business for more than 135 years. The utility also operates a non-regulated business in Minnesota called Home Service Plus®. For more information, visit CenterPointEnergy.com.

Pfeiffer Athletics Places 148 on Spring Presidential Honor Roll
June 5, 2012
HIGH POINT, N.C. - Conference Carolinas is proud to announce that 1,516 student-athletes have been named to the 2012 Spring Presidential Honor Roll. Each institution within the conference has emphasized their commitment to academic importance as they have continued to have student-athletes achieve a grade point average of 3.2 or higher (on a 4.0 scale) at each of their institutions to achieve this honor. Pfeiffer University dropped 147 names on the spring list.
Conference Carolinas continues to emphasize Academics and Athletics Working Together as each school strives to grow their Presidential Honor Roll each and every year. The new Presidential Honor Roll recognizes student-athletes who have earned a 3.20 grade-point average (up from 3.00 in previous years) on a 4.00 scale for the semester and includes freshman and transfer student athletes (that have participated in either a conference or non-conference sponsored sport).
The Conference Carolinas Presidential Honor Roll is awarded twice a year covering each of the fall and spring academic semesters and is based on meeting the criteria at the end of the previous semester. For the 2012 spring semester, King College led all league members with 190 qualifying student-athletes.

Private investors will be involved in the management of the Crusaders and Hurricanes Super Rugby franchises in 2013.
The New Zealand Rugby Union has announced that two groups, involving a mix of provincial unions and private investors, will manage the two teams after expressions of interest were sought for the licences a year ago.
The New Zealand Herald reports that the licence to manage the Hurricanes has been awarded to a Wellington group including Wellington Rugby, former Hurricanes directors Paul Collins and Liz Dawson, and Morgan's Welnix, the ownership group of the Wellington Phoenix football team. The license has been awarded for a period of three years with a right of renewal for five more years.
The NZRU and a Crusaders region consortium have agreed in principle to a licence arrangement to operate the Canterbury franchise. A final contract is expected to be signed within a month.
'These new arrangements are a step forward in terms of putting Super Rugby on a stronger financial footing to ensure the game at the professional level is better placed to prosper and deliver for its fans,' said NZRU chief executive Steve Tew.
The Herald also revealed that the Blues' options are being considered both regionally and internationally and the franchise required more time to consolidate a final bid.
An initial expression of interest was received for the Chiefs, although the Super Rugby champions have not been able to finalise a bid.
The NZRU will retain full ownership of the franchises, the contracting process and coaching appointments. Investors will get to select, market and manage their team as well as lobby for players outside New Zealand if that works in tandem with the sport's governing body.

Blog about skate paint for skateboard ramps.
Can you add colors to Skatepaint? When will OC RAMPS comes out with colored Skatepaint?
Some new custom halfpipes have been built lately by our OC RAMPS Professionals. Take a look at these images to find out more!
Check out our recent custom built halfpipe in Huntington Beach.
Skatepaint provides a clear coat for your wooden skate ramp. It is currently not available in any colors. Many riders wish to turn their ramp into a form of art. We agree you should as well. One customer in particular bought an OC RAMPS mini ramp half pipe. As an artist, he took his drawing board to the half pipe ramp. This is his creation...
Lets face it, if your ramp is made out of wood which is quite probable; your ramp is not going to last forever. Wooden skate ramps need maintenance – the skating surface should be replaced every 2-5 years depending on your weather conditions. What if there was a product that would prolong the life of your plywood? That's exactly what Skatepaint does.

Comments about XLC 33 Piece Tool Kit:
Overall a solid tool kit. Has the majority of tools you would need to assemble a bike, and basically everything to maintain one.
Comments about XLC 33 Piece Tool Kit:
If you're planning to build up your bike, this is a great set, but I think it wont work for a professional use.
Best Uses
Comments about XLC 33 Piece Tool Kit:
Used for occasional maintenance and replacing work out parts.
The chain break broke on first use, not surprising once you see the poor quality of metals used in it. Another reviewer had the same problem.
Set is acceptable for the price.
Comments about XLC 33 Piece Tool Kit:
Great kit for the home mechanic. Tools seem to be solid and durable and the price is right.
Get yourself a torque wrench and maybe a couple other odds and ends and you're good to go.
Comments about XLC 33 Piece Tool Kit:
I did a thorough cleaning on 3 different bikes as soon as I got the tools, taking advantage of almost every tool. They were great tools for the price. I managed to break the chain breaker but other than that all the other tools seem fairly sturdy.
Comments about XLC 33 Piece Tool Kit:
Great starter kit for the home mechanic. not as nice as park tool but way cheaper.Be ready to get 30 dollars more into your tools over a year
Comments about XLC 33 Piece Tool Kit:
Most tools work just fine if you're careful not to put too much torque or strip when using. Probably won't last if you're doing lots of work, but for a few fixes each year on a couple of bikes I think this set will do just fine.

|The Sport Administration major prepares students for careers in the sport industry through a balanced academic program and numerous practical experiences. Students complete a core group of courses developed to exceed accreditation guidelines, and all students are required to complete the business minor. The curricular balance of sport, business and sociological courses along with three required practical experiences make the program of study one that is cutting edge, particularly when compared to other programs within the state of Ohio and across the country.
|Upon completion of the major, students will have the opportunity to pursue numerous career paths in the sport industry including managing sport programs at all levels (youth, high school, collegiate, and professional), facility management, event planning, sport marketing and public relations.
