Tim Hinton Workspaceon March 24, 2015
This week we are featuring Tim Hinton for our workspace. Enjoy!
My name is Tim Hinton and I'm a music arranger, composer, drill writer and show designer. You can hear my music and find out more about my business at www.timhinton.com. I also am one of the hosts of the Marching Roundtable podcast at www.marchingroundtable.com and am the manager and co-creator of the Judges Academy, an online training course for judges that I developed with Dr. Joe Allison. www.JudgesAcademy.com. I run all of these businesses from this desk in my home office.
My computer is a 27″ iMac (3.2 GHz Intel Core 13, 16 GB.) One of my best investments was for a second monitor to double my work area. I don't know how I ever got by without this. I use Finale 2012 for music writing and arranging. Although it's a very complicated program to learn, it does everything and I've been using it for over 20 years now so I love it. I use Pyware 3D for drill writing, a program I really also admire and enjoy using. The new 3D visualization of the drill has been a huge help in "seeing" what I'm writing.
I use a "RollerMouse Red" from contour design. This is a two handed mouse that saved me from carpel-tunnel and I truly believe is the reason I can get through a season of drill writing. We did a podcast about this which you can hear at http://www.marchingroundtable.com/2013/09/11/242-rollermouse-a-great-tool-for-drill-writersor-anyone/ or see their website at http://ergo.contour-design.com/.
For the podcast we record on Skype using a TASCAM DR-05 recorder, XENYX302USB mixer, and Audio-technica P48 Cardioid Condenser microphone. I record intros on Audacity using a Blue Snowball mic.
My workspace is in the master bedroom of our house. (We use a smaller bedroom as our master because I spend all day in this space and like the room and openness of its location to the rest of the house.) The desk pictured was created with parts from IKEA. To the bottom right in the picture you may see my keyboard which I use to input the music into the computer. Above the keyboard and not pictured is my stereo system which I use when listening to music to pull the music by ear when writing. Elsewhere in this office is another desk and my work closet which holds a multitude of supplies used for podcasts, Academy shirts and supplies, music files, etc.
The lamp you see in the picture is one my father made for me that used to be in my school office next to the fish tank when I was a band director. I feel fortunate to get to work from home and create my own schedule. Having done this for 22 years I doubt I could return to a regular 9 to 5 job.

lovely portret. Warm wishes from Greetje
Thank you, Greetje and Annie. It is wonderful how a portrait can connect the photographer with the subject. I feel I have known her for the last 35 years yet I have never known her name. How I would love to meet her again now! I am delighted that you both can share in this with me.
Warmest regards,
I have recorded in my journal that there were 64,458 people on the commune cultivating 4283 Ha. 80% of the cultivated land was dedicated to padi rice production, with peanuts, jute, sugarcane, tobacco, vegetables, mandarins, lychees, pineapple and watermelon also produced.
This 22 year old was a production team leader, the people being organised into 615 production teams.
Nice picture Ian. Greetings Berend
Sincerest greetings, Berend. Thanks for your appreciation again.
Very pleasant peasant, Ian, and so young! Lovely portrait! Theolfa
She was unaware that I photographed her, Theolfa, for I was using a 200mm lens and had stood back behind our group so as to be less obtrusive. I think that allowed this very natural moment.Thanks for your appreciative comment.
I must try that sometime, Ian, thanks for the lesson! Theolfa
Time goes by... GGR
It is thrue, Fü, but in my mind she is still 22, and 35 years later I am just a little older!!
All the best, Theolfa and Füsun.
Nice and curious,natural portrait Ian Stehbens :-) Greetings,brezza
Thank you, Brezza.
Warm greetings,

Mr. Scarface - The Legend

If you're a fan of the legendary Scarface of the Geto Boys, join this group. don't just join to join but join b/c you know what Scarface is all about.
Scarface began his career as Akshen (pronounced Action) recording solo for Lil' Troy's Short Stop Records, a local label in Houston. In the late 1980s, he would go on to sign with Rap-A-Lot Records and join a group who were collectively known as, Ghetto Boys, replacing one member who left, later respelled Geto Boys, and released Grip It! On That Other Level (1989), a highly successful LP that garnered the group a large fanbase, in spite of their violent lyrics keeping them far from radio and MTV.
Akshen changed his name to Scarface (he also changed his flow from a rapid-fire Kool G Rap-like delivery to normal flow, this time with a darker tone), after the film Scarface, saying he felt that the main character of the movie was like him in many ways. He then released his debut solo album, Mr. Scarface Is Back. The album was a success, and Scarface's popularity soon overshadowed the other Geto Boys. Scarface remained in the group while releasing a series of solo albums that kept him in the public view with increasing sales. This peaked with 2000s The Last of a Dying Breed, which received overwhelmingly positive reviews and sales, and earned him Lyricist of the Year at the Source Awards.
In 2002, he released The Fix, the follow up to The Last of a Dying Breed and returned to the studio with the Geto Boys for their album, The Foundation. He has collaborated with such artists as Jay-Z, Master P, Jadakiss, Faith Evans, Chamillionaire, 2Pac, Nas, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Lloyd Banks, Beanie Sigel, Young Jeezy, Too Short, Anthony Hamilton, Bun B, Raekwon, Z-Ro, and Gang Starr. He is known for his sometimes unique and exaggerated voice and rapping technique. He was also featured on The Biggie Duets alongside Big Gee and Akon. He guest-appeared on Ray Cash's debut single "Bumpin' my Music".
In addition to his career as a lyricist, Scarface has also been the coordinator and president of Def Jam South since 2000, where he has fostered the career of popular rapper Ludacris, whom he originally signed to the label.
In an interview, Scarface said that he would never record solo material again, due to creative differences with Rap-A-Lot.He has stated that his last official album was The Fix which was released in 2002, and anything released afterwards has nothing to do with him. He did not rule out being featured on other artist's albums. Scarface is currently planning production; he has recently produced three tracks on UGK's Underground Kingz: "Life In 2009," "Still Ridin' Dirty," and "Candy."

Seven Students Receive Tool Sets through Mike Peterson Memorial Scholarship
(Marietta, Ga. – April 15, 2016)
Seven Chattahoochee Technical College students who are starting their careers in the automotive and diesel repair industries recently were presented with a Snap-On toolbox and $6,000 worth of tools. The tool sets were purchased through proceeds from the Mike Peterson Memorial Golf Tournament, which was held in October 2015 at the BridgeMill Athletic Club in Canton.
The annual tournament celebrates the life of automotive enthusiast Michael Peterson, who passed away in 2002. As a way to remember their son, Alan and Claire Peterson held the inaugural golf tournament in 2005, and 13 years later, the tournament has evolved into a major event helping to provide over $100,000 in scholarships to more than 70 deserving students in automotive, diesel and motorcycle programs at Chattahoochee Technical College. The tools awarded through the scholarship are the foundation for graduates to build their careers.
"We have been truly blessed with a network of supportive family and friends. What we are able to do today for the automotive and diesel repair students at Chattahoochee Tech is because of everyone's dedication to this initiative," Alan Peterson said. "We are extremely impressed with the Automotive Technology and Diesel Equipment Technology programs at the college. They are second to none."
The qualifications for the scholarship includes completion of at least one year of study in a Chattahoochee Technical College program and having a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher. Students applying for the scholarships are asked to complete an application, including a written essay, and provide a letter of recommendation from a current faculty member of Chattahoochee Technical College.
Automotive Technology and Diesel Equipment Technology students who received the Mike Peterson Memorial Scholarship were Austin Brown, of Avondale; Michael King, of Canton; Jessica Revere, of Tate; Nathaniel Welch, of Dallas; Adam Dupuis, of Acworth; Andrew Mabry, of Ellijay; and Justin Gross, of Marietta.
"I am very excited and really thankful to the Petersons and Chattahoochee Tech for providing these tools," King said. "This is an added bonus to finish off in good spirits."
Revere said the tools will help her advance in her career at Cherokee Toyota. With seven children, Revere said funds are budgeted toward other necessities, adding that the scholarship award will give her a leg up in getting into the shop at Toyota.

Ok thanks for the tips, as i said i'm quite new to java but im here for learning :D
I've now removed the Jframe and the Graphics object.
It solved why the pictures were painted "in" each other.
As you said i've "removed" the try and catch. So now my image is nothing more than a plain (blue) image. So the problem with making it transparent were indeed lying in the loadImage method, or...
How can i load my picture to my program if loadImage doesn't work?
It kind of works... I've commented away the try/catch as u said. Now i can set the transparency of the picture.

only difference from the code above is the for-loops

What you can do though, is wear a Gryffindor scarf and pretend that you know how to cast a Patronus Charm. It may not be quite the same, but it is fun and your neck will be nice and toasty.

text: Hello Simon. WPS v12.11 isn't working perfectly for me. I'm finding some of the CSS customizations I made earlier and have relied upon for the past year have been "forgotten," or something similar, in this new version, and it will need some tweaking. In the meantime, I need to get my site back up to normal looking order. I'd like to downgrade back to the previous version while I figure out what's up. Is there a way I can do that?

Pools nice, locations nice....that's about it
Old TVs, thin walls that can't even block out tv noise, trash left in room, and hairs found in bed...Oh did I mention the 100 dollar credit card fee that was not mentioned we would have to pay in full for potential "damages"? I will never stay here again!
The location was great
The parking is TIGHT so if you have a suv it may be a bit tough. The place is old. All stairs and not very clean. There was gum in the shower. No AC. Which in the winter is no big deal. But for the summer it can get stuffy in the room with just one open window and no cross
Downtown location.
There were some dogs that barked.
location and friendly staff
Staff was friendly and super helpful. Great location.
Run down outdated lodge. Hot tub was only half full of water. Hole in mattress where everyone sits. Old Cheetos in the closet. I cannot t imagine this is a 2 star hotel.
Very cozy and clean. Nice little gazebo at the back and a hot-tub. Friendly owner and staff.
Walls are very thin. Some sounds coming from adjacent rooms woke us up late at night.
Close to the ski areas.
Walls between rooms are pretty thin. We could hear our neighbors next door. Seemed at times we were all in the same room.
Used my credit card to charge the stay and it was later see for fraudulent charges.
The hotel was clean and the staff were super nice!
That I couldn't stay longer!
ski locker was nice
the room was very outdated and the bathroom was very small. it was difficult to get to the village after the cabriolet closed. The shuttle bus was confusing and unreliable
The closeness to Winter park resort
Very hot in the rooms at night. No customer service at all-remodeling lobby area. Hard to get in touch w/ staff for help. Couldn't get in common areas or entry late at night and no help.
large clean room
not enough cable channels (no espn, fox, cartoon channel)
Easy access on main street. Shuttle Bus to the ski area is 1/2 block away. Location is very close to many resteraunts. Friendly manager. Not a chain. Locally run.
Great place to lay your head for the evening! Make sure you read the description because it is exactly as said and you can't beat the price. There is a shuttle that picks you up from the parking lot also to get you directly to the lifts. Super convenient!
I found this place online and it was PERFECT. I come to Winter Park to ski and take in the town with my Dog, not hang out in the room. It has all you need to sleep and clean up. It is all clean and comfortable and a great price for a tourist town. The lockers for ski's and boots are placed on the way in/out, very convenient! If you are going to hang out in the room all weekend it is probably not the place for you, but if you want a great place to base from within walking distance to all Winter Park has to offer and the ski bus pick up is literally in front of the place, then you want to stay here. This place is perfect and affordable. This will be my "go to" place from now on!!
The access to the loft beds is a steep ladder that was hard to climb up. Especially with a bag. A spiral staircase would be much safer and still small footprint.
Staff went out of there way to help me. Excellent amenities. Thank you
Friendly and accomodating staff, very clean room and an excellent breakfast. We loved the 24hr coffee and tea/hot cocoa service.
Too much chlorine in the pool.

We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.

This worthless commi needs to be replaced immediately !!
obama wii go down as the worst president in american history,worse tha bushh2,CHANGE!!!!!!
I hate loser rednecks like you.
I wish he were a Communist. Then things would happen! Sadly, he's a corporation tool. Are you blinded by Fox's foolishnesses? Sad, you have no ability to think for yourself! Typically American!
Obama bashers, how would you suggest he handle this situation? What would you do if you were in office right now?
VERY Independent Voter
How about using hay to collect the oil :). What happened to the supertanker skimming idea? Why hasn't Obama done that? He's refused help from other nations because he's afraid of them taking the oil, so he'd rather the beaches get dirty.
" how would you suggest he handle this situation? What would you do if you were in office right now?"
Take charge and show some leadership.
Just saying your looking to kick someones a$$ doesn't cut it.
Worst president of all time. His inexperience is showing.
First, dump his monkey-faced, J Crew wife.
Second, turn off the f'n teleprompters.
Third, admit he made grave errors in reviewing rig safety.
Fourth, stand arm in arm with BP to solve the PROBLEM.
Fifth, go 1 week without blaming someone for something.
why did everyone vote for him? sheesh.
while rome burned?
wall street/corporate thugs loot usa pensions
working class suffers in hell

I'm using the people list plugin and am glad it is there. But I have some 50 members on my site and I want to give them the opportunity to use the list more efficiently by means of either a filter, search field or the starting letters (on the top of the page have A B C ...

Is this possible with the plugin yet? Plans for a future update?

Skip to comments.Liberals celebrate death of Andrew Breitbart
Posted on 03/01/2012 8:32:27 AM PST by T.O.K.
As news broke this morning of the tragic death of Conservative journalist Andrew Breitbart, liberals celebrated the news on Twitter.
The most influencial tweet came from Slate's Matt Yglesias (@mattyglesias), who tweeted: "Conventions around dead people are ridiculous. The world outlook is slightly improved with @AndrewBrietbart dead."
(Excerpt) Read more at campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com ...
civil rhetoric from the left!!!
Hey! Should Obama have to apologize for that?
To use a favorite liberal phrase:"That was mean spirited".
Should we expect anything less from the left? Evil will always be evil.
I agree, obviously.
But let this be a lesson to all FReepers. We are better than this.
The times I've been ashamed to be a member of FR are those times when *some* here (very few, thankfully) have danced on the graves of fallen liberals.
I repeat: We are better than this. Hopefully we will remember.
probably not an accident...
Proverbs 17:5
He who mocks the poor taunts his Maker; He who rejoices at calamity will not go unpunished.
"Liberals celebrate death of Andrew Breitbart"
Of course they do—they've always been hypocritical—that's how you know them.
You should stay away from DU then.
This is why the left must be buried! They are garbage and filth that is destroying America. Screw you whack left!!
Well maybe not know but she did get a picuture in an EMAIL from someone.
Liberal Posters & Bloggers = Scum of the Earth
They openly celebrated when Jesse Helms died, a few years back. Their hatred of those who expose them for what they truly are, knows no bounds.
But of course the title, here, misuses the term "Liberals." True Liberals--in the classic sense--find themselves, today, largely allied with us, in the fight to preserve the America the Founders achieved. "Hate crazed Leftists" is the more applicable term, for the scum described.
William Flax
Can't find any fault with that description at all.
These "people" are sewer scum.
contrast that to the way the vast majority of us reacted to Elizabeth Edwards, Gabby Giffords, et. al.
The New Tone.
The Gitmo soccer field proved too much for Andrew. My bet is he was out and about trying to recruit a soccer team of Mussad agents for a special home match at Gitmo.
We will miss you Andrew.
what makes me sick is michael moore, ayers and bill maher are still alive.

Actually, no, I'm going to celebrate every last one of their deaths.
"I looked at the comments at TMZ.com & the commies are out in full force there, truly disgusting!"
Same at Yahoo News. Liberals would like to see all of us dead....
The demons are rejoicing...I just wish FOR ONCE the evil bastards mediaWHORES would drop DEAD or that guy from Wiki!! Too many on our side are leaving us...so sad. SO SAD! Tears of saddness...:(
That is the real headline....
M. Moore the big fat pig comes to mind!
I hope they don't say this in front of me today.
Thanks, all very enlightening.
It appears the average age and IQ of those commenting is approximately the same. I figure twenty something.
Lots of ignorance on display as well. Wouldn't doubt every single one is an Obama supporter. Seems to be a singular lack of knowledge about what constitutes a fascist.
I could go on but what's the point.
Not to excuse them, but remember in the contemporary leftist mindset, their desires for a secular "egalitarian" utopia are so "pure", that any other disgusting behavior they engage in such as lying or celebrating the death of a conservative is "morally justified."
Oh the next Civil War is near.
It will start with either an 0bama win or defeat this November.
If 0bama wins, we the people will have had enough, and will start shedding the chains of tyranny.
If 0bama loses, it will be a purely defensive action by us against the rioting leftists.
Either way the left will lose.
I have heard it is very bad over at Twitter with liberals doing their high fives.
Thems a lot of big words for "sick people."
Plenty of research on my part shows that Jeff Glasse is none other than:

Online: Sharing
A Web Site Helps Users Share Pictures, Comments
Radar.net seeks to combine social networking and camera phones. The service was started by John Poisson, chief executive officer of Tiny Pictures Inc., a developer of consumer mobile services. The free Web site allows camera-phone users to post pictures and video clips to the user's page on the site. People selected by the user can then view the media on phones or PCs. The site generates revenue by offering optional free advertiser content, such as material from the 20th Century Fox film "Hitman."
There are, of course, similar photo sites on the Web, like Flickr and Kodak Gallery. Traditionally, photos for sharing are uploaded from a PC, but Radar. net makes it easy to post and share pictures by providing users with a personalized email address to send pictures directly from a phone to the Web site. Users are allowed to either comment or whisper about photos. Comments can be read by all friends, and whispers can only be read by a targeted user.
Since its launch in June 2006, more than 750,000 users have created accounts, according to Mr. Poisson. "The unique thing is tapping into the ubiquity of the phone, which is increasingly becoming this cool mixed-media device," says Mike Manuel, an online strategist at VOCE Communications, a communications consultancy firm.

Hillary Clinton addresses gathering of publishers
FILE – This March 7, 2014 file photo shows former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at the United Nations headquarters. Clinton's next book, scheduled for release later this year, remains a work in progress. Beyond saying that she is still revising the manuscript, the former secretary of state offered few specifics during a keynote speech Wednesday, March 19, at the annual gathering of the Association of American Publishers, a book industry trade group.

NEW YORK (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton's next book, scheduled for release later this year, remains a work in progress.
Beyond saying that she is still revising the manuscript, the former secretary of state offered few specifics during a keynote speech Wednesday at the annual gathering of the Association of American Publishers, a book industry trade group.
Clinton said even less about a possible run for president in 2016, beyond joking that stepping down as secretary of state last year did not end media [auth] speculation about her future.
"It has not exactly worked out that way," she said.
Greeted with warm applause at a small auditorium in midtown Manhattan, Clinton spoke for about 25 minutes before a crowd that appreciates her on many levels. The publishing industry has a long history of support for Democrats and has revered both Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton. Hillary Clinton also is a best-selling author, with "Living History" selling more than 1 million copies, and an advocate for reading — on paper. On Wednesday, she urged support for the children's literary organization First Book, recalling how she used to read "Goodnight Moon" and other favorites to daughter Chelsea.
Neither the title nor the release date has been set for her book, although it is expected this year. A spokesman for publisher Simon & Schuster said Wednesday the June 1 date that appears on Amazon.com and other online retailers is just a placeholder, needed to make sure the book is listed.
As announced last year, the book will focus on Clinton's time in the Obama administration and her thoughts on the country's future, apparently bypassing her contentious 2008 presidential primary run against Obama. She said Wednesday that the book will address the "rapidly changing and increasingly interdependent world" and 21st century challenges from "Crimea to climate change."
"Just another light, summer read," joked Clinton, whose other books include "It Takes a Village" and "An Invitation to the White House."
Clinton, 66, said the publishing industry had changed greatly since "Living History," but that her challenge remained to complete a "compelling and personal narrative." And she emphasized that she was indeed writing the book, and not having drafts handed to her as some have believed. She said she writes in longhand and has "barrels" of papers to prove her authorship.
"If you did see my study at home, you would think it was an episode from 'The Hoarders,'" she said. "The notes, the pages, the drafts — it is amazing."
But she is not working alone. She mentioned her editor at Simon & Schuster, Jonathan Karp, and a team of friends and advisers that includes her husband and daughter. She described a collaborative and "fascinating" process in which over a single paragraph "you could have people violently opposed to it and passionately in favor."
Clinton listed four lessons she has learned about publishing, including "quit your day job" and watch out for foreign translations. Clinton noted that the Chinese had deleted passages from "Living History" that were critical of the government and spoke of a comical revision to Bill Clinton's 2004 memoir, "My Life." A passage about his birth in Arkansas that appears in the English edition's opening section, "under a clear sky after a violent summer storm in a town called Hope," was changed to "The town of Hope, where I was born, has very good Feng Shui."

Shortly after Gov. Mitt Romney announced Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate on the Republican presidential ticket last weekend, the two appeared together on "60 Minutes" and tried to ease concern about the future of Medicare.
They might as well have been speaking directly to Jewish seniors in the crucial swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, each with large elderly populations.
"What Paul and I have talked about is saving Medicare, is providing people greater choice in Medicare, making sure it's there for current seniors," Romney told Bob Schieffer. "No changes, by the way, for current seniors, or those nearing retirement. But looking for young people down the road and saying, 'We're going to give you a bigger choice.'"
But the damage may already be done. The budget pushed by Ryan as the Tea Party-leaning chair of the House Budget Committee in April of 2011 proposed privatizing Social Security and replacing Medicare with a voucher plan. This year, he proposed the creation of a Medicare exchange that would have the program paying for or subsidizing payments to private plans.
Those who depend on government benefits tend to get uneasy when politicians talk about radical changes in them — which some call entitlement reform — and polls show that Jewish voters are among the biggest boosters of public safety nets. The Jewish Federations of North America and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs — the two leading umbrella groups addressing economic issues — wrote letters to Congress opposing less government control of Medicare in response to Ryan's plan.
So despite what polls show as diminished Jewish support for President Barack Obama since his estimated 78 percent share in 2008 — largely attributed to his posture toward Israel — analysts say Romney's ability to exploit that weakness as Republican operatives and donors make a major play for Jewish votes could be offset by his choice of running mate.
"On the domestic policy side, [the choice of Ryan] presents significant problems for anybody who supports Medicare and any of the safety-net social programs, which in general is the Jewish vote," said Ester Fuchs, a professor of public affairs and political science at Columbia University.
"I don't see this as anything that positively affects Romney's standing within the Jewish community," Fuchs continued. "In fact, I think it will put some of the fence-sitters into the Obama camp, particularly seniors in New York and Florida."
Within hours of the Ryan announcement, Fuchs received an e-mail from relatives in Florida with the photo of a bumper sticker now making its way around the Sunshine State. It read: "Romney and Ryan: Medicare For No One." Regardless of whether the message is true, it shows a level of distress that Democrats may find easy to exploit.
Republicans have long insisted there are holes in the armor of traditional Jewish loyalty to the Democratic Party — George W. Bush won a quarter of the Jewish vote against Democrat John Kerry in 2004 — and have hoped for reinforcement this year because of "buyer's remorse" over Obama.
Indeed, the staunch pro-Israel position Romney showed in Israel this month — calling Jerusalem undisputed Israeli territory — and his conservative social views may help him lock down the small politically conservative Jewish vote, including a large share of the Orthodox.
But the latter segment may hesitate to support the Romney-Ryan ticket because of its strong advocacy for and use of such federal programs as subsidized housing and Pell grants, programs Ryan might want to see on the chopping block as he pushes an austerity agenda.
Analysts see Ryan's selection as a bid to strengthen the most conservative elements of the GOP after a fractious primary that left Romney lacking in enthusiastic backers. But Ryan is seen as having little appeal to the center.
"Independents who were leaning may find some of his positions disconcerting, especially on social issues and the safety net," said Gil Kahn a professor of political science at Kean University in New Jersey. "These are people who have a sense that they could vote Republican, but this is not going to push them. The fact that [Ryan] has virtually no defense or foreign policy credentials, together with the fact that Romney has none either, is a bit disconcerting to Jews concerned about international issues."
Ryan has been openly critical of foreign aid programs but, unlike fellow fiscal ultra-conservative Ron Paul, he has never called for cutting off funds to Israel.
"He worked for [Kansas] Sen. Sam Brownback, another staunch supporter for Israel and then for [former New York Rep.] Jack Kemp, one of Israel's best friends, and he has been there for Israel, promoting Israel and one of the strongest supporters of Israel in Congress," said Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America. "I would not think he favors cutting aid to Israel. If Jews vote against him, it will have to be for reasons other than Israel."
Elected in 1998, Ryan visited Israel in 2005 on a trip organized by the American Israel Education Foundation, an affiliate of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
Democratic political consultant Hank Sheinkopf sees Ryan offsetting any major increase in the rightward drift among Jewish voters.
"Jews moving to the right will stay there and those who were worrying about moving to the right will go back to Barack Obama because of Medicare and Social Security," he said. "You can't convince [those] Jews for whom Israel is the No. 1 issue that they should stand with a guy whose running mate will be made to appear like Attila the Hun on Medicare and social issues."
But Matt Brooks, director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, sees Ryan's views on the budget as a diversion.
"It is not Paul Ryan's vision for America and not [Vice President] Joe Biden's," said Brooks. "They are there to be advocates for the person who will ultimately be commander-in-chief.
"The stuff out there about Ryan is the worst kind of fear and smear they can do. It is because they are desperate. The Democrats know they are in trouble in the Jewish community, and so they are lying about Paul Ryan.
"When people get a chance to hear about Paul Ryan and what he stands for… Jack Kemp had great support in the Jewish community, and Ryan is similar in thinking and in the Jack Kemp tradition."
David A. Harris of the National Jewish Democratic Council, said in a statement, "Ryan's signature budget plan drew the profound concern and even ire of many in the American Jewish community because of its plans to end Medicare as we know it, slash vital social safety net programs, and increase the burden on seniors, the middle class and the poor — yet Romney today proudly hitched his horse to Ryan's dangerous plan."
Chasidic political consultant, Ezra Friedlander, who mostly works for Democrats, said it's "up in the air" how the Orthodox will weigh Ryan's place on the ticket.
"In terms of families in the Orthodox community who rely on government social programs as part of their monthly budget, the Ryan plan would probably eliminate many of the entitlements," said Friedlander.
The recent New York Jewish Community Study found that in New York City and three suburban counties 35 percent of Orthodox Jews and 45 percent of Russian-speaking Jews live in low-income households.
But Friedlander said those voters do not necessarily vote in their own interests.
"The Orthodox community increasingly votes Republican; that's a fact," said Friedlander. "Even on the state level, which doesn't make much sense. If you rely on government social programs you should be voting for the Democrat."
New York, a non-battleground blue state, has by far the largest Jewish population, estimated at more than 1.6 million. In the rest of the country, the percentage of both Orthodox and poor Jews is considerably smaller, meaning that vote may have little impact on the race. Non-Orthodox Jews, however, are concentrated in many swing states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida.
When Friedlander in June met with Ryan on Capitol Hill, he told the Republican rising star to look at cuts in all areas of the budget.
"Across the board, there is waste, in military and defense and every government program," he said. "I said when hardworking families come to rely on social programs you can't just throw [them] off a cliff, and he agreed."

Comment Guidelines
The Jewish Week feels comments create a valuable conversation and wants to feature your thoughts on our website. To make everyone feel welcome, we won't publish comments that are profane, irrelevant, promotional or make personal attacks.
It is no surprise that another Jewish journalist is in the bag for Obama, so their reflex reaction is to belittle Ryan - unfairly I might add. No senior on Social security, medicare, or medicaid today will be affected by Ryan/Romney's plan, so there is no real reason for them to fear. There is just the Democratic party's desire to scare people away from Romney.
The real problem for this country, whether rich or poor, is crushing debt. Obama took it from 10 trillion to 15 trillion dollars. We will all suffer under that burden, not just the people Ain and Dickter can scare. Ryan is one of the rare members of government with the brains and the courage to tackle our debt problem in an honest way. Don't vote for him - fine, but please stop the disinformation campaign. Journalistic standards used to mean integrity. I don't think that is true anymore.
I'm saddened today with Israel playing with American politics with that September 25th Iran "deadline." I feel like I've been insulted by a family member, like, by my father. I'm hurt.
Obama is taking about 750Billion Dollars from Medicare to pay for Obama Care. Romney-Ryan are leaving intact for anyone over 55 which will probably stretch to people now 53 due to the time it will take to get legislation ready. No one now on Medicare or receiving Social Security checks will have a change in the income and protection they are now getting
"The fact that [Ryan] has virtually no defense or foreign policy credentials, together with the fact that Romney has none either, is a bit disconcerting to Jews concerned about international issues."
I would like to make two points. First, the lack of foreign policy experience did not seem to matter when it came to electing President Obama. On the other hand, the current President has a very clear record on his so called "support" of Israel and the appeasement of her enemies.
Would you rather re-elect someone that, regardless of his words, has acted against the safety and peace of our allies or elect a President that is an unapologetic friend and supporter?
To me, on that issue, the choice is clear. I want someone that will stand with Israel and tell her enemies that we will not tolerate nor provide aid to groups that do not recognize her right to exist.
As for the tickets problems with seniors in Florida, the outcome will depend mainly on the ability of the Democrats to distort the facts and dominate the media. I'm in the age range where I know that any changes will not affect me and I understand that the current system needs to change for my children so they will have something too. No seniors will see any changes. Anyone that tells you differently is not being honest.

True - but, you can use it and ignore the lower vent. Me, I'm lazy and don't like to bend over, so I leave the lower vent pretty much wide open except for cooks under 300º and use the daisy to dial in the desired temp. The egg is based on air flow and it does not care wether you control the air at the inlet or the outlet, air flow control is air flow control.

Nashville, TN – The Nashville Sounds Baseball Club begins its 2016 season tomorrow, Thursday, April 7th when they welcome the Oklahoma City Dodgers on Opening Day.

Clarksville, TN – For the best part of the last 20 years Austin Peay State University's baseball team has been at or near the top of the standings of the Ohio Valley Conference, so this past week's announcement of the hiring of Travis Janssen as its new head coach should keep fans expectations high.
Since 1994 the baseball program has won 12 OVC titles, six regular-season championships (1994, 2003, 04, 07, 11, 12) and six OVC tournament titles (1996, 2005, 07, 11, 12, 13), which led to six NCAA tournament appearances and two regional final games.

Clarksville, TN – Travis Janssen, who revived a Northeastern State (Oklahoma) program as head coach in between two stints as the top assistant at Jacksonville State, has been hired as Austin Peay State University's new head baseball coach.
Janssen replaces Gary McClure, who resigned in August. The Manhattan, KS, native becomes APSU's 11th head baseball coach but only second since 1988.
Clarksville, TN – We make a lot of fun of the New York Metropolitans in this space, but it's time to acknowledge that the Mets are at least somewhat Amazin' this season.

With David Wright missing a large swath of the season, Yoenis Cespedes and Juan Uribe not showing up until midway through and a regular cast that includes people you've never heard of (Michael Conforto, Juan Lagares), thought to be retired (Curtis Granderson, Michael Cuddyer) or terrible (Lucas Duda, Daniel Murphy, Lucas Duda again), the Mets were supposed to be a year away.

Clarksville, TN – Over the weekend, news trickled out that the Braves had kicked the tires on Jonathan Lucroy, injured All-Star catcher for the dumpster fire that is the Milwaukee Brewers. And this is not to knock Lucroy – a fine catcher who has proven to be worth his weight in pitch-framing and gap-to-gap power – but rather illustrate how disenfranchised the brass has become with Christian Bethancourt.
Seems odd to already be sniffing around for replacements for the Catcher of the Future after 183 big-league at-bats, yet here we (allegedly) are. Lucroy is 29, Bethancourt is 23. Math says Bethancourt is the play for the present and future. But he's hitting .190 and has ridden pine for much of the season behind A.J. Pierzynski, both because Pierzynski has been raking (13-game hitting streak to start the year, third on the team in hitting at a .281 clip) and because Bethancourt has looked lost at the plate and merely competent defensively.

Ex-NFL player Antonio Armstrong and wife killed by their teen son
Former NFL linebacker Antonio Armstrong and his wife were shot and killed by their teenage son in their home in Houston on Friday, police say.
Police were called to the Armstrongs' home around 1:30 a.m. in response to shots fired, the Houston Chronicle reports. Daun Armstrong died at the scene and Antonio Armstrong died in the hospital a few hours later. KTRK reports that the couple's 16-year-old son has been charged with murder. The couple's two other children were at home at the time but were not harmed.
Relatives described the Armstrongs as a loving family and say they can't imagine what could have led to such a situation.
"They kept them busy and they supported them in everything that they did. There was not any mark that they missed with their children," a cousin of Daun Armstrong told the Houston Chronicle. "There was nothing that even could possibly have justified this situation. This doesn't even make sense."
Antonio Armstrong was an All-American linebacker at Texas A&M and a sixth-round draft pick of the 49ers in 1995. He played briefly for the Dolphins and Rams and then spent four seasons in the Canadian Football League. In retirement he has worked as a personal trainer and was well known in his community as a volunteer youth coach.

Coach fired for Dolphins bullying scandal now in trouble at Texas A&M
Jim Turner, the Dolphins offensive line coach who was fired for his role in a bullying scandal that embroiled the team, spent two years out of football after losing his job in Miami. This offseason he was hired at Texas A&M, where it didn't take him long to get in trouble again.
Texas A&M has suspended Turner and tight ends coach Jeff Banks for two weeks without pay, and ordered them to complete 20 hours of community service, for inappropriate comments they made at an event for female fans.
Among the issues that surfaced at the event were changes to the school's fight song, which presented lyrics including "We are Aggie women / We are filled with estrogen" and "We are putting down our dish towels / And taking off our gloves."
The coaches also gave the women tips on playing football that were filled with sexual double entendres like "No penetration," "Never bend over," and "Don't end up on your back."
Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin quickly moved to suspend Turner and Banks after reports of the sexist comments surfaced.
"There is absolutely no place in our program or in our University community for inappropriate conduct or degrading comments towards women, or anyone, regardless of intent," Sumlin said in a statement.
Turner was fired after an NFL-commissioned investigation found that he fostered an atmosphere in which Dolphins offensive linemen Richie Incognito, John Jerry and Mike Pouncey regularly bullied teammate Jonathan Martin. Among the inappropriate actions Turner is alleged to have taken during his tenure as Dolphins offensive line coach was buying inflatable sex dolls for players as Christmas presents. Turner filed a defamation lawsuit against Ted Wells, the lawyer who led the NFL's investigation.
Turner and Banks issued a joint statement in which they said, "We clearly understand now that our comments and slides were not appropriate or consistent with the values of our football program."
Browns experimenting with Ogbah at 3-4 defensive end
As a pass rusher, Browns rookie Emmanual Ogbah naturally would play defensive end in a 4-3 defense and linebacker in a 3-4. In Cleveland, where the 3-4 remains the base defense, Ogbah spent the offseason as a linebacker. Now that camp has arrived, the Browns have given him a try at defensive end.
"We're going to try a little bit of everything," coach Hue Jackson told reporters on Friday. "We're going to put our best players out there on defense. Obviously, we are going to try him there. We're going to put him back at outside linebacker. We're just trying to find a lot of different combinations now that Des [Bryant] is going to be down to see if we can put our best guys out there. If he gives us something there, then it's going to help our football team. We're going to try anything and everything that we can to give guys opportunities that showcase their abilities and talents."
Jackson confirmed that Ogbah played linebacker exclusively during OTAs, with the switch happening only in training camp.
"We're going to play him at defensive end some and take a good look at him," Jackson said of Ogbah. "As you guys know, this time of the year is evaluation time for all of our football team. Now, you can do some of that. Move guys around and see what's the best fit for our football team to help us win."
Jackson disputed the notion that Ogbah moved to defensive end because of perceived difficulties with dropping into coverage as a linebacker during the offseason program. Instead, Jackson pointed out that having Ogbah play multiple positions gives the defense a greater degree of flexibility on defense.
49ers add defensive lineman
The 49ers announced Friday that they've added defensive lineman D.J McBryde to their training camp roster.
McBryde, 24, signed a two-year deal with the team. McBryde broke into the NFL last season with the Eagles and spent six weeks on their active roster before catching on with the Packers practice squad last November. He signed a futures contract with the Packers in January but was waived last week.
He was a three-year contributor and one-year starter at UConn.
49ers sign Joshua Garnett
The 49ers traded back into the first round to pick guard Joshua Garnett. Finally, the Stanford product is under contract.
The team has announced the Garnett has agreed to terms. As usual, it's a four-year deal with a team-held option for the fifth year.
Garnett won the Outland Trophy in 2015, which goes to college football's top lineman.
The acquisition leaves one one unsigned first-round pick: Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa.
Todd Bowles doesn't rule out carrying four quarterbacks
Not long ago, the Jets were trying to sell the idea that Geno Smith would be the team's starting quarterback. Now, they're trying to sell the idea that Smith, the only quarterback inherited by the current regime, won't be dumped in favor of 2015 draft pick Bryce Petty and 2016 draft pick Christian Hackenberg.
Keeping Smith could mean keeping four quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. Coach Todd Bowles was asked on Friday how conceivable keeping four quarterbacks would be.
"It's conceivable," Bowles told reporters. "It all depends on the strengths and weaknesses of other positions, because you have to steal from a position to keep a position and we have pretty good competition right now at about five positions, at least. It's going to come down to seeing who we're able to keep and who's able to perform and who's able to do things where we can steal one from another and who can play a dual role and have some versatility. It's early, but we'll see how it works out."
Bowles pointed out that he once played on a Washington team that carried four quarterbacks, but that it happened in the days before the salary cap.
Bowles also made it clear that counting reps won't be the best way to spot the man in danger of being cut.
"It's not just if you get the least reps, you're not going to be on the team," Bowles said. "Sometimes you only need a little bit to show a lot and that's at every position and that's how we evaluate. We're not going to evaluate somebody because they start out third team — and I'm not just talking about the quarterback spot — so you can make plays in a small amount of time to make an impact depending on what our need is for making this team."
The Jets have no reason to admit that Smith or any other quarterback is in danger of being cut. They surely hope that someone will offer to trade for one of them. That's why anything the team says about wanting to keep Smith should be taken with a grain of salt. They have to act like they want him in order to ever have any hope of training him.
Bills hope Manny Lawson doesn't have a long-term injury
With Mario Williams gone, the Bills are counting on Manny Lawson stepping in and stepping up. For now, however, the Bills don't have Lawson, because he injured himself working out on his own shortly before training camp.
While most stints on the non-football injury list will be temporary, the Bills are still waiting to learn more about Lawson's absence. On Friday, G.M. Doug Whaley was asked whether Manny Lawson's absence could be a long one.
"We'll have to assess and get information from the medical staff here pretty soon and hopefully not," Whaley told reporters. "We don't anticipate it, but again, you never know with these things."
Whaley said Manny Lawson suffered an upper body injury. If he's not available, IK Enemkpali will have even more opportunities with the Bills.
"I'm excited about IK and I've mentioned that before," coach Rex Ryan told reporters on Friday. "It may give him an opportunity to get the majority of the reps at the one."
If Manny Lawson's absence is extended, the team may look to add players at the position — especially since first-rounder Shaq Lawson could be missing much of his rookie year.
Jets' GM says Geno Smith remains in team's plans
Jets quarterback Geno Smith was essentially demoted when the team re-signed Ryan Fitzpatrick earlier this week, and Smith hasn't hidden the fact that he's not happy about it.
Still, Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan told reporters Friday that Smith remains in the team's plans.
Asked if he expected Smith to be on the opening day roster, Maccagnan said he "assumes" that answer is yes and said the team likes Smith.
The team will almost certainly end up either moving on from Smith or second-year quarterback Bryce Petty after drafting Christian Hackenberg last spring. That's a decision Maccagnan doesn't have to make now, but Smith knows he might also be auditioning for other teams.
Jets Coach Todd Bowles praised Smith in the offseason. Whether that was about trade value or whether the team still thinks Smith could end up being in its long-term plans might is unclear, and a lot could depend on what happens over the next four or five weeks with all of the team's quarterbacks.
Roethlisberger honors Heath Miller on first day of camp
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger paid tribute Friday to retired tight end Heath Miller by wearing Miller's No. 83 jersey for the start of training camp.
Friday marked the start of the Steelers' first camp without Miller since 2004. He was a first-round pick in 2005 who caught 45 career touchdown passes and went to two Pro Bowls.
Miller announced his retirement in February.
The Steelers tweeted a video of Roethlisberger taking the field in the No. 83 jersey on their official Twitter account.
Ladarius Green figures as the team's new No. 1 tight end after signing with the Steelers in March, but he's starting camp on the PUP list. His absence means extra reps for tight ends Jesse James and David Johnson.
Texans extend G.M. Rick Smith's contract through 2020
With the signing of quarterback Brock Osweiler and running back Lamar Miller, the Texans were one of the busier teams in the early days of free agency.
They aren't going to wait to see how those moves or any of the others they made this offseason work out before deciding on General Manager Rick Smith's future with the team. The Texans have extended Smith's contract, which was due to expire after this season, through the 2020 campaign.
"Rick's doing a good job for us, and I think stability in the organization is important," owner Bob McNair said, via John McClain of the Houston Chronicle. "He works hard. He's very diligent. He communicates well. He knows what our objectives are. Rick has put together a good scouting staff, and he works well with the coaching staff. I thought this was a good time to get this done."
Smith is the second G.M. in the history of the franchise. He succeeded Charley Casserley in 2006 and built the first Texans teams to advance to the postseason. They took a step back in 2013 and 2014 and had a rough draft in 2013 outside of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, but returned to the postseason as AFC South champs last year and McNair clearly believes Smith will continue to be successful in the years to come.
Panthers first-rounder Vernon Butler carted off practice field with cramps
In the early days of training camp, the most dreaded sight is the flatbed cart.
It made its appearance at Panthers camp today, to haul first-round pick Vernon Butler off the practice field, via Bill Voth of Black and Blue Review.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said moments later that Butler was suffering from cramps, alleviating some of the concern.
Butler is a key piece for the Panthers for several reasons, even beyond his presence on the field. Having another interior presence should help them keep waves of linemen coming, and add to a pass-rush that isn't as well-stocked at defensive end.
But he's also a useful deterrent/insurance policy in the ongoing Kawann Short contract talks, allowing General Manager Dave Gettleman some cover for the future if they can't work out a deal with Short.
Raiders parting ways with Roy Helu
The Raiders put running back Roy Helu on the physically unable to perform list at the start of camp because he had surgery on both hips this offseason, but it's going to be a brief stay.
The change isn't because Helu is moving back to the active roster. Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said Friday that the team has removed Helu from the 90-man roster entirely and replacing him with defensive tackle Derrick Lott.
Helu signed with the Raiders in March 2015, but he was hurt during training camp and wound up getting just 17 carries and nine receptions in nine appearances with the team. His hip problems suggested more of the same could be on tap this season and the Raiders will look elsewhere for backs to complement Latavius Murray.
They have 2016 fifth-rounder DeAndre Washington, Taiwan Jones, George Atkinson and Jalen Richard on hand to compete for that role now.
Eli, Cruz say Beckham needs to be careful with his emotions
Giants receiver Odell Beckham's 2015 season ended with a suspension for repeated personal fouls in an ongoing skirmish with Josh Norman. Beckham's veteran teammates want to see 2016 go differently.
And so, quarterback Eli Manning told Sal Paolantonio of ESPN, the veterans on the Giants have talked to Beckham about keeping his emotions in check.
"Odell knows what he needs to do," Manning said. "He's got to be careful with his emotions and make sure that doesn't affect his play. You want to get in that right temperament, be at your best, play your best football and he's got to make sure he controls that, where we're getting his best and his actions don't affect the team in a negative way."
Receiver Victor Cruz added that Beckham, as a young star in the NFL, needs to consider what kind of reputation he wants to have.
"I think he understands that this past year, since last season, has been a little bit of a whirlwind, in that regard, and he understands that — he wants people to know him for him and how he's a great player, great person, and how he wants to be perceived and I think he's really taken charge of that," Cruz said.
Beckham already has the "great player" part down. He may have some work to do rehabbing his personal image, after the ugly ending to last season.
Kubiak admits the obvious: 2015 Broncos offense "did not play well at all"
After the retirement of Peyton Manning and the departure via free agency of Brock Osweiler, the Broncos official website referred to the quality of the team's quarterback play in 2015 as "sub-optimal" and "near-replacement-level."
On Friday, coach Gary Kubiak didn't use such specificity in connection with the quarterback position. But he used a broad brush to paint a not-so-flattering picture regarding the team's offensive performance in 2015.
"We're talking about a group," Kubiak told reporters. "We're not talking about a position. You go back to last year and you look at us, we finished in the middle of the pack. I think we finished 16th. Out of 12 playoff teams, I think we we're like sixth offensively, but we feel like we did not play well at all. That tells you the standard that we have, the standard that I have and [offensive coordinator Rick Dennison] has, and what we want to do. We've got to improve as a team. We can't turn the ball over as much as we did last year and we've got to play better up front. If we do those things with the players we've got, we're going to be a better offense. That's what we're talking about. We're talking about a group, not a player."
Fine, but it's hard not to throw stones at an entire offense without hitting the former leader of it in the red splotch on his forehead. Quarterbacks get the credit when offenses thrive and the blame when they sputter. The Broncos sputtered on offense last year, and the play of Peyton Manning was a big factor in that.
This year, if the Broncos can get more out of the quarterback position, they can be better on offense and, if they perform as well as they did defensively in 2015, hoist another Lombardi Trophy.
On Friday, Mark Sanchez had the first crack at leading the first-team offense. After he threw an interception to cornerback Chris Harris Jr., however, Trevor Siemian entered and, according to Mike Klis of 9news.com, remained the No. 1 quarterback for the rest of the day.
With multiple options and no clear-cut leader at the position, that's likely how it's going to go. With Kubiak wanting to protect the ball, the one that does will play. Until he doesn't, at which point someone else will play.
Richardson missing from Jets practices for personal reasons
The Jets have excused defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson from their training camp practices due to personal reasons, Jets coach Todd Bowles told reporters Friday.
Bowles said he expects Richardson to be absent for a couple days.
The Jets started camp on Thursday.
Richardson, 25, had five sacks last season after serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. He has 16.5 sacks in three seasons and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2014.
Richardson is suspended for the Jets' season opener vs. the Bengals for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. He's still allowed to participate in camp and the preseason.
