All-Eagle Golf Capsules

Thursday December 29, 2011

Chad Alibozek
Junior, Hoosac Valley

The Hurricanes? steadiest regular season performer, Alibozek has won the Berkshire Classic, the de facto individual county championship, two of the last three years. Two years ago, he finished second.

The coach?s take: It?s unbelievable to watch him play. He?s really got the total game. I wish everyone would practice as much as Chad.

-- Hoosac coach Jay Sniezek Hayden Jarck
Senior,Pittsfield

The linchpin of Pittsfield?s post-season run, Jarck shot a 7-over par at the Ludlow Country Club, along with teammate Adam Brickle. Those scores helped the Generals finish third in Western Mass. Division I. At the state tournament in Millis, Jarck was the county?s top finisher again with a three-over par 75 to tie for sixth. That keyed the Generals? 12th-place overall state finish.

The coach?s take: Last year, he was real good. But this year, he took it to a whole new level. He?s by far the best player I?ve ever coached.

-- PHS coach Lucas Polidoro

Thomas Villetto
Junior, Lenox

The most consistent golfer on the Millionaires? Western Mass. Division III champions. He finished fourth overall at the Western Mass. tournament, and then followed up with a sixth-place finish in the state meet. The Millionaires finished ninth in the state. This is Villetto?s

second consecutive All-Eagle selection.

The coach?s take: Tom is a competitor. This year, he started slowly, but as the year went on, he got his game under control, and he turned in his best scores in the biggest matches. I think he?s going to be great next year.

-- Lenox coach Dick Salinetti

Bryan Cota
Senior, McCann Tech

This will be Cota?s third consecutive year on the All-Eagle team. Finished tied for second in the Western Mass. Division III golf tournament, with a 75 at the Berkshire Hills Country Club.

The coach?s take: I didn?t have to do a lot of coaching with him. He taught me a few things, to be honest. It was fun to watch him attack a course, and shape shots and play so skillfully. We will miss him.

-- McCann coach Justin Kratz

Shawn Folan
Senior, Wahconah

Rebounded nicely to finish second in the Western Mass. D-II meet, despite shooting a 9 on the par-5 12th hole at Springfield?s Franconia Golf Course. Folan was the Warriors? most consistent golfer this season.

The coach?s take: Great work ethic, but I was most impressed by the things you didn?t see. He helped me bring along some of the young guys, which was a big help. And I think if he had not had that one bad hole, he?d have won Western Mass.

-- Wahconah coach Pete Terpak

Bryan Levardi
Senior, Taconic

Finished fourth overall in the Western Mass. Division I golf tournament. Finished third in the Berkshire Classic with a five-over par 79 at the Berkshire Hills Country Club.

An opposing view: Very sound fundamentally, very consistent. He was Taconic?s leader this year.

-- Lenox coach Dick Salinetti

Matt Freitag
Senior, Hoosac Valley

Freitag came on late in the season for the Hurricanes, shooting a 77 at the Division II state tournament in Northborough, good for 16th and the best score among county golfers. He also had a strong finish in the Western Mass. tournament, shooting an 83 to finish sixth overall.

The coach?s take: He is kind of overshadowed by Chad [Alibozek], but he?s a hard worker, and he was only one stroke behind Chad in average. He practices just as hard as Chad, too.

-- Sniezek

Correction: Bosnia-War Crimes story (AP)

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina ? In a Dec. 27 story about the extradition of a Muslim Bosnian woman accused of killing Bosnian Croat civilians The Associated Press incorrectly referred to the name of her alleged accomplice in one paragraph. His surname is Dzeko, not Everett. Dzeko had lived in Everett, Washington.

The story also reported outdated information on the number of people killed in the Bosnian conflict. The United Nations said in its first estimates that about 260,000 people died, but the Bosnian government has since put the figure at around 100,000 after an independent investigation.

JXD releases S7100 Android-based gaming tablet, manages to steal from everyone

If you're going to steal, steal from the best. JXD has just released its S7100, a fairly conspicuous 7-inch Android-powered gaming tablet marketed towards playing old-school arcade games. The device features a D-pad, face buttons, an 800 x 480 capacitive touchsceen, ARM Cortex A9 CPU, Mali 400 GPU, 512MB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, 0.3 megapixel front camera, 2.0 megapixel rear camera and HDMI-out.

If you're thus far undeterred, there's a must-watch promotional vid hosted just after the break -- nothing justifies a $140 price tag like Bieber, right?

If Ron Paul Wins Iowa Caucus, We Will Lose First-in-the-Nation Status? (ContributorNetwork)

COMMENTARY | I wish I was kidding. I really do. But, honestly, if Ron Paul pulls in a win for the Iowa Caucus, we can kiss our first-in-the nation status goodbye. As a political nerd and Iowa lover, I cherish our first-in-the-nation status. If Iowans GOP voters pick Paul, the party may penalize the state.

The good news is the weather looks fair. Not only is that good news overall, but fair weather means non-Ron Paul supporters will go out. If it was snowy/icy/super cold, some supporters of other candidates might opt to stay home. But the Paul supporters? They're rabid. They'd hitch up their dogs to a sled if they had to, just to make it to the caucus location. Again, I wish I was kidding. But I'm not.

Here's the deal, Iowans. The rest of the nation thinks we're all a bunch of goobers. And we're not. We're quite a variety of people, religions, ethnicity, etc. We're smart, educated, common-sense people. And we have to get this right (no pun intended).

Ron Paul would not beat Barack Obama in the general election. It's as simple as that. If Paul ends up being the nominee (it won't happen but, hey, stranger things have happened), I can see a third-party candidate thus ensuring a win for Obama in 2012. Republicans, have we forgot what happened to Bush H.W. Bush in 1992? Ross Perot ran as a third candidate and Bill Clinton ended up winning. We cannot have four more years of Obama.

Paul has been a congressman from Texas since 1976... before I was even born... before my parents even met. And yet, he claims that "Washington is the problem?" He is Washington and has been my entire life! Also, he ran as a libertarian in the 1988 presidential election. Not a Republican, but a libertarian. And now he's back to claiming to be a Republican. Again, he cannot defeat Obama. It's just not possible.

I understand the Paul supporters are passionate. I understand that they believe in the Ron Paul "Revolution." I also understand they drank the Kool-aid, ate the brownies (no, really Ron Paul's campaign served brownies at the Iowa Straw Poll).

We must keep in mind, if we value our freedom, our nation, our military and our first-in-the-nation status, we need to vote for someone other than Ron Paul.

I'm voting for Rick Santorum in the caucus. You can vote for him or Rick Perry or Michele Bachmann or Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney or even Jon Huntsman... but please. Be serious. Don't vote for Ron Paul.

Actor Matthew McConaughey proposes to girlfriend (Reuters)

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) ? Hollywood leading man Matthew McConaughey has proposed to his longtime girlfriend and the mother of their two children, model Camila Alves, the actor said in a posting on celebrity website Whosay.com

McConaughey, star of such films as "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" and "The Lincoln Lawyer," posted a picture of him and Alves kissing near a Christmas tree on Sunday with the message: "just asked camila to marry me, merry Christmas."

WhoSay.com is a website that hosts many celebrity accounts. A spokesman for the actor did not immediately answer an e-mail seeking confirmation.

McConaughey, 42, and Alves, 28, have been a couple for several years. They have two children, Levi, 3, and Vida, who turns 2 next month.

2 Mayo Clinic workers die in Fla. helicopter crash

(AP) ? Two Mayo Clinic employees flying to the University of Florida to harvest organs were killed when their helicopter crashed Monday in north Florida, officials said.

The helicopter departed the Jacksonville hospital around 5:45 a.m. but never arrived in Gainesville, about 60 miles southwest, said Kathy Barbour, a spokeswoman for the Mayo Clinic.

The employees' names were not released because relatives hadn't been notified.

"Mayo is working internally to support the family and employees of those lost in this most unfortunate tragedy," Barbour said.

The helicopter crashed about 12 miles northeast of Palatka, said Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen.

Clay County Sheriff's Office dispatcher Myron White confirmed that three people died in the crash, but no additional information was immediately available from the crash site.

The National Transportation Safety Board also was investigating.

FAA records show the Bell 206 helicopter is owned by SK Jets. An employee who declined to give her name said the St. Augustine company had no immediate information.

The SK website lists the Bell 206 helicopter as part of its fleet and says the helicopter has the best safety record of any helicopter in the industry. Bell's website says the helicopter is used for emergency medical services, corporate transportation and firefighting, among other things.

The crash and others like it illustrate that just transporting the organs for transplants can be a delicate endeavor.

In 1990, a surgeon and an assistant flying to pick up a donor heart for a patient were killed in a plane crash in New Mexico. And in 2007, a twin-engine plane carrying a team of surgeons and technicians ? along with a set of lungs on ice being brought to a patient already prepped for surgery ? crashed into the choppy waters of Lake Michigan.

Doctors ultimately got another set of donor lungs that were transplanted into the patient.

Analysis: Isolated on tax cut, House GOP blinks (AP)

WASHINGTON ? With tea party-backed first-termers calling the shots, House Republicans snatched political defeat from the jaws of victory in a year-end showdown over Social Security payroll tax cuts and jobless benefits.

This time, they pushed the country to the brink ? and wound up blinking.

"In the end House Republicans felt like they were re-enacting the Alamo, with no reinforcements and our friends shooting at us," said veteran Republican Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas.

Precisely.

By spurning a deal that Senate Republicans had embraced, for a two-month extension of tax cuts for 160 million Americans and jobless benefits for millions more, the House wing of the party isolated itself politically and by some calculations improved President Barack Obama's re-election prospects.

Friday brought a humbling surrender, the only realistic alternative despite grumbling from scattered holdouts and Newt Gingrich, courting tea party support in the race for the presidential nomination.

By then, even allies said Republicans had become vulnerable to Obama's accusation that they, alone, were threatening a fragile economic recovery and the well-being of the employed and unemployed alike. "Right now, the bipartisan compromise that was reached on Saturday is the only viable way to prevent a tax hike on Jan. 1," Obama said Tuesday after the House rejected the two-month measure that had sailed through the Senate on a vote of 89-10.

The reliably conservative editorial page of The Wall Street Journal piled on, referring to a circular Republican firing squad. The GOP has "achieved the small miracle of letting Mr. Obama position himself as an election-year tax cutter. ... This should be impossible," it wrote on Wednesday.

One poll said Obama ran ahead of Republicans when it came to handling taxes, an issue that has generally favored the GOP since Ronald Reagan sat in the White House three decades ago.

No less critical were Senate Republicans, fearing the impact on their own political prospects, both individually and as a group eager to gain a majority in the 2012 elections. A gain of four seats would give them control, and several close races are likely. Losses suddenly seemed possible instead. There was in even talk that the hardline stance by House Republicans was putting the GOP's big majority in that chamber in danger.

Most importantly, for the first time all year, Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell wasn't in a position to help as House Speaker John Boehner sought to carry out the wishes of his rank and file, the Kentucky senator having voted for the bill that House Republicans insisted was a loser.

At its core, the dispute was a simple one.

Talks between the two parties in the Senate on a full-year extension faltered when negotiators could not agree on the cuts needed to make sure the measure did not increase deficits. The two-month stopgap bill was designed to keep the tax cuts and jobless benefits going until the negotiations could resume again after the first of the year.

To the tea party types, that smacked of government as usual, precisely what they came to Washington to change.

"We're as unified as we've been all year," said Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, on the night before the House Republicans rejected the Senate bill, demanded negotiations on a compromise and drove themselves into a political dead end.

This time, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Democrats had no incentive to negotiate, unlike earlier when brinkmanship pushed the government to the edge of a partial shutdown or an unprecedented default.

They and the White House had already caved to Republican demands that any extension be paid for, and that Obama decide within 60 days whether to allow construction of an oil pipeline from Canada to Texas.

The president had threatened to veto any measure that linked tax cuts and the pipeline, hoping to postpone a decision on the project until after the election. Late last week, he did an about-face and demanded Congress send him a bill that did precisely that.

The reversal gave Republicans the political victory some had sought if they were going to approve an extension of the tax cuts and jobless benefits at the core of Obama's jobless program.

Boehner told House Republicans as much in a conference call on Saturday, according to several officials who listened. They added he recommended no specific course of action and sought the all views.

Some lawmakers suspected Boehner had acquiesced in the two-month extension that McConnell worked out, and he was challenged on it 48 hours later in a closed-door meeting. He bristled at the accusation, according to several participants, and denied it flatly.

There were hints of infighting. Behind closed doors, one Republican lawmaker raised a concern about a memo ? inaccurate, he said ? from an unidentified staff aide who wrote that Boehner favored a more conciliatory approach than Majority Leader Eric Cantor and other members of the leadership.

"We're here and ready to work," Boehner told reporters on Wednesday morning. He spoke at a made-for-television event with Cantor and the eight Republicans, including three first-termers, appointed to conduct non-existent negotiations with Democrats.

Little more than 24 hours later, the charade ended when Boehner informed his own rank and file, no consultations permitted.

By then, even two newcomers to the House had issued public statements calling for an end to the standoff.

"I don't think that my constituents should have a tax increase because of Washington's dysfunction," said freshman Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wis., now a voting member of the government he was criticizing.

The struggle over, Reid said he hoped the episode had been "a very good learning experience, especially to those who are newer" to Congress.

"Everything we do around here does not have to wind up in a fight."

Christmas church bombings put global spotlight on 'Nigerian Taliban' (VIDEO)

The US is pledging to help Nigeria identify those responsible for a series of attacks that left at least 40 people dead on Christmas day.

Nigerian officials and world leaders offered condemnation on Monday for those responsible for a string of Christmas day bombings across Nigeria that killed at least 40 people and injured dozens. The worst attack occurred at a church near the nation?s capital of Abuja.

Skip to next paragraph

The attacks were pinned to Boko Haram, a Nigerian Islamic extremist organization that also claimed responsibility for deadly attacks in Nigeria during Christmas Eve last year.

Coming just days after 60 people died in a gun battle between the Islamic insurgents and government forces, the Christmas attack has shone harsh light to mounting tensions in Nigeria and raised concerns that more attacks could be soon to come.

?Nigeria must intensify its efforts in the area of security and guarantee freedom of movement and worship,? said the Rev. Isaac Achi, the priest from the bombed church, according to the Los Angeles Times.?

Including the Christmas bombing, Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for attacks that resulted in the death of 504 people in Nigeria this year alone. The group, which has been nicknamed the ?Nigerian Taliban,? aims to bring the African nation under Islamic law, reports the Daily Telegraph. Africa?s biggest oil producer and most populous nation, Nigeria?s northern region is predominately Muslim while the southern half of the country is mostly Christian.

Though Boko Haram has existed since 2002, Australia?s Sky News reports that violence attributed to the group has risen sharply in recent months. In a series of increasingly complex bombings the group has killed more than 280 people since November. The government has made a number of well-publicized arrests of Boko Haram members and raided some of their bomb making factories, but it appears to have had little impact on the group?s operational capabilities.

Fire at ad exec's Conn. home kills 3 kids, parents (AP)

STAMFORD, Conn. ? A fire tore through the home of an advertising executive in a tony neighborhood along the Connecticut shoreline Sunday, killing her three children and both of her parents on Christmas morning.

Madonna Badger and a male acquaintance were able to escape from the house as it was engulfed by flames, said Stamford Police Sgt. Paul Guzda. But Badger's three daughters ? a 10-year-old and 7-year-old twins ? perished in the fire, Guzda said.

He said Badger's parents, who were visiting for the holiday, also died.

Neighbors awoke to the sound of screaming shortly before 5 a.m. and rushed outside to help, but they could only watch in horror as flames devoured the grand home in the pre-dawn darkness and the shocked, injured survivors were led away from the house.

"It is a terrible, terrible day," Mayor Michael Pavia told reporters at the scene of the fire. "There probably has not been a worse Christmas day in the city of Stamford."

Badger, an ad executive in the fashion industry, is the founder of New York City-based Badger & Winters Group. A supervisor at Stamford Hospital said she was treated and discharged by Sunday evening.

Property records show she bought the five-bedroom, waterfront Victorian home for $1.7 million last year. The house is situated in Shippan Point, a wealthy neighborhood that juts into Long Island Sound.

The male acquaintance who also escaped the blaze was a contractor who was doing work on the home, Guzda said. He was also hospitalized but his condition was not released.

Police officers drove Badger's husband, Matthew Badger, from New York City to Stamford on Sunday morning. Badger's parents lived in Southbury, Conn., Guzda said.

Firefighters knew there were other people in the home but could not get to them because the flames were too large and the heat too intense, said Acting Fire Chief Antonio Conte, his voice cracking with emotion.

"It's never easy. That's for sure," he said. "I've been on this job 38 years ... not an easy day."

Conte said fire officials don't yet know the cause of the blaze and likely won't get clues for a few days until fire marshals can enter the structure.

By Sunday evening, the roof of the blackened house had largely collapsed.

A neighbor, Sam Cingari Jr., said he was awakened by the sound of screaming and saw that the house was engulfed by flames.

"We heard this screaming at 5 in the morning," he said. "The whole house was ablaze and I mean ablaze."

Cingari said he did not know his neighbors, who he said bought the house last year and were renovating it.

Charles Mangano, who lives nearby, said his wife woke him up and alerted him to the fire. He ran outside to see if he could help and saw a number of fire trucks in front of the house.

"I heard someone yell `Help, help, help me!' and I started sprinting up my driveway," Mangano told The Advocate of Stamford.

He told the newspaper he saw a barefoot man wearing boxers and a woman being taken out of the house. The outdoor temperature at the time was below freezing, according to the National Weather Service.

The woman said, "My whole life is in there," Mangano said. "They were both obviously in a state of shock."

Stamford, a city of 117,000 residents, is about 25 miles northeast of New York City.

Badger was the creative mind behind major advertising campaigns for leading fashion brands, including the iconic Marky Mark underwear ads for Calvin Klein.

Raised in Kentucky, Badger began her career working as a graphic designer in the art department of Esquire magazine. Before starting her own company, she worked as an art director for several magazines and CRK, the in-house advertising agency for designer Calvin Klein.

Badger & Winters has worked with Proctor & Gamble, CoverGirl, A/X Armani Exchange, Emanuel Ungaro and Vera Wang, among other high-profile corporations. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday.

Ryan Gosling & Eva Mendes Drunk Christmas Video

The Notebook’s Ryan Gosling, actress Eva Mendes, funnyman Jim Carrey, and comedian Allan McLeod all appear in a new R-rated special Drunk Christmas video spoof from Funny or Die that will make you laugh! Get the details and watch the video below. In celebration of the Christmas holiday just two days away, Funny or Die has released a hilarious 5 minute video spoof with love birds Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes. The video is their own special and dysfunctional version of the famous 1823 poem Twas the Night Before Christmas, with a horribly funny and drunk McLeod trying to make his way through all of the lines. The only problem is that McLeod, playing the narrator, can’t seem to recite the poem after drinking too much whiskey since two o’clock that day, as he explains near the close of the video. While he painfully tries to remember the words, Gosling and Mendes play out the story with their pajamas and kerchiefs on their head nestled in their bed. Gosling and Mendes’ fictitious children are also seen in the story as McLeod stumbles through with a few brief pauses and some colorful apologies that include the F-bomb several times. Eventually making [...]

The nation's weather (AP)

Weather Underground Forecast for Saturday, Dec. 24, 2011.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms were expected to develop across the South on Saturday, as a low pressure system continued moving eastward over Texas. The low pressure system that brought heavy snow to New Mexico and light snow to western Texas was expected to continue moving eastward toward the Gulf of Mexico and Lower Mississippi River Valley. This system was expected to pull warm and moist air in from the Gulf of Mexico, allowing for snow showers to turn to rain showers. Periods of heavy rain showers were expected to develop across most of Texas on Saturday, with lighter showers extending into the Lower Mississippi River Valley. There remained a slight risk severe thunderstorms would develop from eastern Texas through Louisiana and into Mississippi. Most areas were expected to see around one inch of rain, with up to two inches likely in areas of thunderstorm development. Strong winds with gusts from 25 to 35 mph also were expected.

Behind this system, cold air was expected to continue to pour into the Western U.S. from Canada. A dominant ridge continued building over the Rocky Mountains, allowing for dry and sunny conditions. High temperatures in the 20s and 30s were expected across the Rockies, while the West Coast remained in the 50s and 60s.

Meanwhile, in the Northeast, a cold front lingered over the Northeast and draped westward through the Great Lakes. This was expected to continue triggering widespread and light snow showers with accumulation around one inch. However, lake effect snow was likely in parts of the Upper Great Lakes, which may see up to three inches of new snow. Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Friday ranged from a morning low of -22 degrees at West Yellowstone, Mont. to a high of 86 degrees at Plant City, Fla.

AP Enterprise: Paul's nonprofits push law's limit (AP)

IOWA CITY, Iowa ? The passionate support of an eclectic group of libertarians and young people has Ron Paul in contention to win the Iowa caucus. So has the work of two well-funded nonprofits that for the past three years have kept his aides employed, his volunteers organized and his ideas afloat.

Those nonprofits, including Paul's flagship Campaign for Liberty, blur the line between his presidential campaign and issue advocacy in a way experts say runs afoul of the spirit, and perhaps the letter, of federal tax and campaign finance law.

But unlike a political campaign organization, whose finances are tightly regulated and made public, such advocacy nonprofits can raise unlimited sums of money and aren't required to disclose where it came from or all the details about how it was spent.

"It sounds like it was a way to maintain a permanent campaign," said Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a nonpartisan watchdog group. "These groups were never supposed to be political organizations, but more and more, we're seeing them used that way. All of this is leading to our elections getting more and more out of control with fewer regulations."

Paul, a 76-year-old Texas congressman, finished fifth in the 2008 Iowa caucus and abandoned his long-shot presidential campaign that summer. As he left the race, he urged his supporters to continue their fight for libertarian principles by joining his new group, the Campaign for Liberty. He called the transformation of his presidential campaign into the nonprofit a "legal formality" that would allow him to continue building his famously energetic network of volunteers, online activists and college students.

The Campaign for Liberty and Young Americans for Liberty, a separate group formed to spread his message to high school and college students, were organized as "social welfare organizations" under U.S. tax law. That means they cannot make politics and promoting candidates their primary activities.

The groups quickly found a home in the tea party movement, hosting conferences, training activists and distributing petitions asking members of Congress to support one of Paul's signature policies ? a plan to audit the Federal Reserve. The Campaign for Liberty raised more than $13 million between 2008 and 2010 that paid for direct mail, telemarketing, staff salaries and other expenses. The group claims more than 600,000 members and more than 170 chapters of Young Americans for Liberty at high schools and colleges.

Drew Ivers, who founded the Iowa chapter of Campaign for Liberty, said the nonprofit's goal was never to lay the groundwork for Paul's 2012 presidential campaign. Organizers were careful to separate political work from the work of advocating Paul's ideas, he added. But he acknowledged the organization has helped Paul in Iowa, which will hold its first-in-the-nation presidential nominating caucuses on Jan. 3.

"It kept the ideas alive. And as people who were involved in the Campaign for Liberty liked the idea of limited government, they look at the field of presidential candidates and say, `You know, I think Ron Paul is serious about this idea,'" Ivers said.

The other candidates from 2008 who are again running in 2012 also took steps between campaigns to build their political clout. President Barack Obama formed his "Organizing for America" group at the Democratic National Committee, while Republican Mitt Romney used a political action committee to raise money, shower donations on lawmakers and pay for his travel to key states. Paul had a PAC, too.

But the finances of both the DNC and political action committees such as Romney's Free and Strong America PAC ? unlike Paul's nonprofits ? are regulated by the Federal Election Commission and subject to financial disclosure rules.

Paul's presidential campaign is thoroughly intertwined with the nonprofits. The Campaign for Liberty calls itself a lobbying group for "individual liberty, constitutional government, sound money, free markets and a noninterventionist foreign policy" ? a tidy summation of Paul's campaign platform. Young Americans for Liberty's support of Paul is even more explicit, calling itself the continuation of the Students for Ron Paul wing of his 2008 campaign, coordinating his visits to campuses and publishing a magazine in which he laid out his "agenda for a freedom president."

Between the 2008 and 2012 campaigns, both nonprofits were stocked with Paul aides and relatives. Ivers served as Paul's Iowa campaign chairman in 2008 and holds the same position again this year. The Campaign for Liberty's president, John Tate, was paid a total of $338,000 by the group in 2009 and 2010. He is now Paul's national campaign manager. The nonprofit's senior vice president was Jesse Benton, who is now Paul's campaign chairman; its vice president was Debbie Hopper, who is now Paul's assistant campaign manager.

Lori Pyeatt, Paul's daughter, served until recently as the Campaign for Liberty's part-time secretary and treasurer, earning $34,000 for her work last year. Her daughter is married to Benton. Paul's son Ronnie is the group's unpaid chairman.

In all, nine out of the 16 staff members at the Campaign for Liberty are on leaves of absence from the group to work for Paul's campaign. The nonprofit's executive director, Matthew Hawes, said the group is still able to function and is an active advocate on state and federal issues unrelated to Paul's presidential campaign.

Paul campaign spokesman Gary Howard ? who for 18 months served as the Campaign for Liberty's spokesman ? said Paul resigned as Campaign for Liberty's honorary chairman when he joined the presidential race and believes the nonprofits complied with Internal Revenue Service rules. Still, like Ivers, he acknowledged the nonprofits have indirectly aided the campaign by training activists and raising his issues.

Paul isn't the first to use such a strategy to keep his name in the public's view between bids for the White House. Democrat John Edwards did the same between the 2004 and 2008 campaigns by founding a nonprofit center dedicated to fighting poverty, his central campaign issue.

Federal investigators later issued a subpoena for information about Edwards' nonprofit, according to details previously provided to The Associated Press. An attorney for Edwards has said the nonprofit paid money to Edwards' mistress' video production firm, and the former senator from North Carolina was later indicted on campaign finance charges related to payments from wealthy donors that were used to help hide the woman.

Marcus Owens, a Washington lawyer who headed the exempt organizations division at the IRS from 1990 to 2000, questions whether such nonprofits were truly designed to serve the "social welfare purpose" as required by law.

In Paul's case, the groups also helped his son's political career. At least two aides from the Campaign for Liberty left to help Rand Paul win election to the U.S. Senate in Kentucky last year.

"Any family campaign seems to draw them out. It's not conclusive, but it tends to suggest a private, not a public, purpose behind the organization," Owens said. "It's not a social welfare purpose to keep a campaign staff together and to promote the personal ideas of one individual."

First Person: High Health, Grocery Costs Bolster Creativity, Skimping (ContributorNetwork)

COMMENTARY | Deloitte Center for Health Solutions recently reported that consumers are paying an extra $1,355 in out-of-pocket health care costs. These costs, Deloitte reports include, "ambulance services, alternative medicines, nutritional products and vitamins, weight-loss centers and supervisory care of elderly family members." Read more here.

As someone who works part-time as a communications specialist, I do not have health insurance at my job; however, my husband's full-time job in the insurance field allows us to buy health insurance for me. Unfortunately, his paychecks are cut dramatically every two weeks because so much is taken out to cover my health care costs. These costs are more than $400 a month, and It has gotten worse in the last few years. I can't help but wonder if the new health care reforms will really make a difference for people like us. Will they?

The health care reforms slowly implemented every year are actually causing out-of-pocket health care costs for consumers to increase. For some, like me, these costs are rising faster than the average person's income. I can attest to this. The Deloitte study compared hours taken off from work per month to look after a family member or friend and the wages lost in the process. The results in the report point out the value of unpaid care is $199 billion a year, or $12.60 per hour.

Although we've never had to take time out of work for one another or a family member, we feel the difference when we go to a chiropractor or a naturopath. Going to the chiropractor means spending an extra $40 or more that's not covered by insurance.

Also, we have to meet our health insurance deductibles, and ours is around $1,000. I recently went to my naturopath medical doctor and spent $700 out of pocket (between two visits and blood tests). Also, we spend a lot on preventative care, in terms of vitamins. Although the health insurance covers some costs, for the most part, we end up paying the difference. Unfortunately, I use my credit card more than I should for these things.

There are other costs besides health care, too

Besides the national health care crisis we're in, the price of groceries, gas and the price of living index have gone up tremendously, making it extremely difficult to have any extra money at the end of the month. We easily spend $150 to $200 a week these days on food and gas. Our employers have had their own economic bad news, too, and as a result, raises have been put on hold.

Eating out, for many, is a thing of the past -- for us, too. If we do go out, we're careful to go somewhere that has two for one specials or places that offer liberal portions so we can stretch the left over's to serve for another meal or two. Some of these deals have come from Applebees, Bob Evans and other advertised deals from newspaper inserts or mailings. As for fast food, Taco Bell seems to have the best prices for the quantity. I've started cooking more meals at home and carefully shop for good deals. I often fix lots of fresh vegetables as sides and one entree like a lasagna or a soup that lasts us for several days. I look for good ideas at Recipes.com and even WeightWatchers.com. The key is to get good nutrition for less.

The 2011 National Grocers Association Consumer Survey Report finds that over half of consumers are cooking more at home these days. A solid majority (69 percent) feels comfortable in the kitchen. Many like to experiment with cooking and 75 percent say they want to become better home cooks." Read more here.

Other ways we've saved money is by figuring out exactly what we need per month, and sticking to it as closely as possible. This means no impulsive spending.

I've also been clipping more coupons and shopping at the grocery store on days of sales. To extend my savings, I've also started shopping more at Aldees, Dollar Stores and Costco's. As a result, I've watched my dollar stretch considerably.

Finally, we've really learned to plan our trips carefully. With gas prices up again, planning trips is important. We make a list of places we have to go and try not to make more trips than necessary. The hardest thing for me is driving the speed limit or below, but when I do, it works and I save money by using less gas. Also, getting tune-ups and oil changes regularly has helped maintain good gas mileage.

I'm sure we will implement additional changes in spending habits as necessary. In the home, we've already gotten an energy audit and implemented the recommendations given. As a result our heat and electricity bills have decreased. There are so many things all of us can do to save money. We just need to be ready to make the changes.

I lived as a turkey for a year

To lift the lid on the lives of turkeys, naturalist Joe Hutto became a full-time "mother" to a brood of poults. What did he learn?

You lived with wild turkeys in rural Florida for over a year. How did it all begin?
I had been experimenting with the imprinting phenomenon - in which young animals become attached to the first moving object they encounter - for years, with many types of birds and mammals. Wild turkeys are difficult to come by, so when I lucked upon some wild turkey eggs I decided: OK, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

These turkeys regarded you as their mother. Was that a lot of responsibility?
It was, because wild turkeys are precocial - they are born fully alert and ambulatory and don't stay in the nest. They have to imprint at birth so they know who mum is, and they can't be left alone at all. I realised that if I was going to do this project then it was going to be a 24-hour-a-day commitment, which I was willing to do.

What did being their mother mean in practice?
I had to be with them before daylight so that when they flew down from the roost their mother was there waiting, and I had to remain with them until after dark. If I tried to leave before it was completely dark they would fly down and try to follow me, and then they were left on the ground, where they were vulnerable to snakes or weasels.

Was your research scientific?
It started out as a science project but it became more than that to me. I found it impossible to avoid a very personal involvement, so a certain scientific empiricism and detachment was immediately lost in the process.

Were there any specific skills you had to teach the turkey poults?
Not at all. Their innate understanding of ecology was complete. They knew everything from birth, and the knowledge is very specific. That was one of the most surprising things about the study. From birth they knew exactly which insect they could eat and which was dangerous. I didn't have to intervene and say: "No, no, don't try to eat that wasp." They knew not to eat the wasp.

Did you learn to talk "turkey"?
They sort of taught me their language. Researchers had identified 25 to 30 calls in wild turkeys that I was familiar with. But I learned that wild turkey vocabulary was much more complex than I had realised - within each of their calls were different inflexions that had specific meanings. For example, they had an alarm call for dangerous reptiles, but what I learned was that in that call there were specific inflexions that would identify a species of snake. Eventually when I heard a certain vocalisation I knew without question they had found a rattlesnake.

So turkeys are not as stupid as their reputation suggests?
No. But I think the first thing we do when we domesticate an animalMovie Camera is breed the fine evolutionary edge out of them. They lose that well-honed razor's edge of survival that causes them to be clever, independent and a survivor. In some sense we breed the brains out of them.

Profile

Joe Hutto is an ethologist. As well as turkeys, he has studied Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and has spent the past six years living with mule deer. My Life As A Turkey, a documentary on his time with turkeys, came out on DVD last month
