Berger in HuffPost: 6 months after Target, consumer data still at risk
B. Dan Berger
June 18, 2014 – NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger ran through the list of retailer data breaches since news broke of the Target Corporation data breach six months ago in an
in the
Huffington Post
He also highlighted statistics from various reports on data breaches and their effects on consumers.
Berger reiterated NAFCU's call for national data security standards for retailers. "While there have been numerous congressional hearings and a lot of 'talking' on data security by various groups, consumers are still vulnerable as there are still no national data security standards for retailers," Berger wrote. "Credit unions and banks are already subject to such standards under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, but retailers are not and have been actively opposing efforts to extend federal standards to them."
Berger said the cost to credit unions for the Target data breach alone is being estimated at nearly $30 million. "Unfortunately, credit unions will likely never recoup much of this cost, as there is no statutory requirement making retailers accountable for costs associated with breaches that result on their end," he wrote.
He said that NAFCU is continuing to make specific recommendations to Congress relating to data security, including making entities accountable for costs of data breaches that result on their end, requiring entities to be responsible for the storage of consumer data and mandating the disclosure to consumers of the identities of retailers whose data systems have been compromised.
NAFCU was the first financial trade organization to call for national
data security
standards for retailers in the wake of the Target data breach.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
The following fairly unremarkable scenario occurs numerous times every day in countless commercial settings nationwide: a consumer walks up to a cash register to pay for something and, during the course of that exchange, the clerk asks the consumer if he or she would like to receive announcements of certain offers and/or events from the company via text messages and/or calls to the consumer's cell phone. Often, requests for the consumer to opt-in to a particular campaign are coupled with incentives like a discount off the current purchase. In response to the clerk's request, the consumer responds "yes," the clerk memorializes that consent by clicking a box on a customer information screen and the consumer begins to receive text messages or calls periodically.
At first (and likely second or third) glance, this sequence seems rather innocuous. After all, how harmful could it be to send texts to consumers who consent to receive them? However, as of October 16, 2013, this scenario could result in companies being faced with class action lawsuits brought further to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"), which is the current flavor of the month for plaintiffs' class action lawyers due to its incredibly punitive liquidated damages provisions of up to $1,500 per call or text and the ability — per the statute — to aggregate individual claims on a class-wide basis.

HoopsHype Luc Richard Mbah a Moute rumors
Bucks coach Scott Skiles said he is not sure when forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute will return to the lineup. Mbah a Moute has been working out with his teammates but has yet to go through a full practice. But the Bucks have little practice time at the moment due to a heavy schedule which has them playing Friday and Saturday, then Monday, Wednesday and Friday next week. "I suppose it's possible he says any day, 'I'm ready to go,'" Skiles said. "I don't have any definitive information about tomorrow, though." Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Gery Woelfel: Luc Mbah a Moute told me he won't be ready to play for a "few weeks." The Bucks forward would thus miss eight games. Twitter @GeryWoelfel
The chances of Luc Mbah a Moute being ready for the Milwaukee Bucks' regular-season opener are becoming increasingly remote. Mbah a Moute, unequivocally the team's best and most versatile defender, has yet to practice with the team after undergoing offseason knee surgery. The Bucks' regular-season opener is Nov. 2 against the Celtics in Boston. "I'm coming along; I'm feeling pretty good, feeling better every day," Mbah a Moute said. " I feel like I'm making a lot of progress, so I'm excited. Racine Journal-Times
Milwaukee Bucks forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute remembers the NBA as a faraway place. Making it a reality hardly seemed possible. "The closest I got to the NBA was getting up at 3 a.m. to watch games on TV," said Mbah a Moute, who grew up with five brothers and three sisters in Cameroon. "When I came to this camp and met Dikembe Mutombo, it was a dream come true. Not only could you see it, but feel it and live it." Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Mbah a Moute was a camper in the NBA's inaugural Basketball Without Borders Africa camp in 2003. Now he has returned to the camp in Johannesburg, South Africa, to serve as a counselor for the third time. "The one question I get asked is what's up after this camp for them," Mbah a Moute said of the 60 young African players taking part in the program. "The most important thing they learn at this camp is not about basketball. It's about life skills." Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Mbah a Moute, who will turn 26 years old on Sept. 9, underwent surgery to repair his right patella tendon in May, following the 2011-'12 season. "I feel good. The knee is getting better," Mbah a Moute said. "I'm right on track to be back for the beginning of the season. I'm just excited to be healthy again." Mbah a Moute was a restricted free agent last year during the lockout and got a late start with the Bucks due to his contract situation, as Milwaukee matched a four-year, $19 million offer made by the Denver Nuggets. Then he immediately encountered problems with his knee, problems that continued throughout the season and limited him to 43 games (22 starts). Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Warriors have also talked with Milwaukee Bucks about moving down to the 12th slot. The Bucks are looking to move up to secure one of the big men they like (John Henson, Tyler Zeller). If Thursday, Milwaukee believes Henson and Zeller will be gone (leaving them stuck with less-ready Meyers Leonard or Jared Sullinger and his back concerns), Bucks GM John Hammond may take the bait. Golden State could get Luc Mbah a Moute in return or even get Ekpe Udoh back. I've got to think Mark Jackson would prefer Ekpe Udoh. He had Ekpe playing his best ball before the Warriors (reluctantly) traded him to Milwaukee. Contra Costa Times
Milwaukee Bucks forward Luc Mbah a Moute (6-8, 230) underwent successful right knee surgery on Friday to address his patellar tendonitis, General Manager John Hammond announced today. The procedure was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles. Mbah a Moute is expected to make a full recovery and be ready for training camp in October. NBA.com
When you talk about consummate professionals, be sure to include Luc Mbah a Moute in the discussion. The Bucks forward has virtually played the entire season on one leg because of a bum right knee. Racine Journal-Times
The Bucks defensive stopper Luc Richard Mbah a Moute helped a guy out with a marriage proposal before a recent Bucks game at the Bradley Center. It appears she said yes, and I'm sure they celebrated with an extreme loaded dog and overpriced domestic beer, then watched the Cavaliers roll over for the Bucks. Isn't that every girl's dream? NBCSports.com
Over at The Basketball Jones, Trey Kerby showed us that love was in the air across the Association on Wednesday night. But romance was also alive and well in the Bradley Center before the Milwaukee Bucks took on the Cleveland Cavaliers, thanks to the help of one dove of a Deer. I know who you're thinking played matchmaker — Ersan Ilyasova, right? And that's probably true, like, 98 percent of the time. In this case, though, it was Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, stalwart defensive forward, Cameroonian prince and tenderness king. Yahoo! Sports
Gery Woelfel: The Bucks still exploring another deal. Mbah a Moute and Livingston are prime trade suspects. Twitter

Blue Jackets not satisfied with recent success
JAN 13, 2014 9:53a ET
With 13 games remaining until the Olympic break, the push is on for the Blue Jackets. They have posted a modest three-game winning streak and are 7-3-0 in their last 10 games. Although they have played well enough to win, the consensus among the players is that they need to be better. Every game is important, as well as every point.
"Obviously, every point is important right now," said center Brandon Dubinsky. "It seems like all of the teams in our division (Metro) are finding ways to win. So we have to keep pace and pull ourselves together and keep going."
Dubinsky is but one of the many bricks that make up this club. Over the last five games, he's 2-2-4 (+3), which puts him at 9-20-29 (+8) for the season. Good numbers all, yet he's not satisfied.
"I still think that we have room to improve (as a team)," he said, "as far as playing our 60-minute games. Where we get in trouble is with our puck decisions. We turn a couple over that are just easy chips out of the zone, so we've got to clean those up."
Columbus is still narrowing their goal differential gap. It is now down to -3, with 126 goals for and 129 goals against. This is better than all but the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals in the Metro Division. They are finding ways to have more offensive output, with the 6-3 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday as a prime example of this.
Since making his debut in the lineup, right winger Nathan Horton has proven to be another of the oft-times sited bricks upon which the team is being built with. He's 1-2-3 (+1) over his last five games, but more importantly, he's elevated the play of the guys around him. Boone Jenner especially seems to be playing some of his best hockey being on a line with Horton.
"I like the way he works," said Horton. "Whenever you work like that, you're going to be around the puck and you're going to be in on the puck. It's fun for guys to be able to play with a guy like that. He's talented, he can make plays and he can shoot."
He's matter-of-fact about getting two points from each win, especially against a divisional opponent above them in the standings.
"We don't want to let any points slide," Horton said. "Sometimes it wasn't pretty, but sometimes it was. That's all that matters, we got the two points."
Backstopping the team as they make the push is Sergei Bobrovsky. He's 4-1-0 in his last five and has a save percentage of .916 and a goals against average of 2.51 over 25 games this season. Friday night against the Carolina Hurricanes, he was in "Vezina" form, reminiscent of last year.
"He's a pretty special goaltender, that's for sure," said Horton. "He knows how to stop the puck. He's always in the right spot. And if he's not in the right spot, he's so quick to get over. For guys who play in front of him, it's a good feeling to have him behind us."
Bobrovsky knows that he gives the team a chance to win, but gives his teammates a lot of praise in finding a way to put goals in the opponents net. He's a calm fixture behind the five guys in front of him that just goes out and does what he does.
"I try to focus on stopping the puck," Bobrovsky said. "As a team, as a group, the guys played really hard in front of me. Thanks to them, they did a really good job. We play as a team, together, sometimes the 'D' play really hard, sometimes forwards and sometimes goalie. But we make these results as a team, as a group, all of us. It's not just me."
The importance of each game is not lost on him.
"I think we just have to keep focused on every game," he said. "Whether it's a practice day or a game day, we have to be consistent. We have to go out and do our best to win."
Although the team is still not 100-percent healthy, left winger Matt Calvert has returned to the ice and is skating on a line with Dubinsky and Cam Atkinson. He might need a few games to get back into the swing of things, although you can't tell that by seeing how he flies around the ice in his two games back.
"My legs fell pretty good and I feel pretty good, condition-wise," Calvert said. "I've just got to get my hands back. Other than that, I just try to keep it simple. I've got to be a little better in my own zone getting pucks out.
"You build game by game. You can't get too high or too low. But, we've got to keep on going. Every night is a new night. We've been in this situation before, chasing. We've got to worry about ourselves. Put a streak together and you never know where we'll be."
They can continue their winning streak, pushing it to four in a row, tonight as they take on the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning, who are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games. The puck drops at 7 p.m. within the friendly confines of Nationwide Arena.

Gilford softball moves to 9-3 with win over Belmont
BELMONT — Gilford softball defeated Belmont on a soggy Monday afternoon, 5-3. The Golden Eagles scored five unearned runs on two hits and 11 walks. Belmont pushed across three runs on three hits and three walks.
"The bats were as cold as the weather," said Gilford coach Joan Forge. "We did what we needed to do to get the win."
The rain played a factor in the pitching, causing both teams to have more wild pitches than normal. Gilford capitalized on three wild pitches, scoring three runs.
Belmont opened the scoring on a pass ball in the bottom of the first inning. Gilford responded three innings later with three runs of their own. The first was on a throwing error to third base and the next two came on wild pitches to the backstop. Gilford tacked on two more in the sixth inning to extend their lead to two.
Gilford's Jordan Dean made the play of the game at shortstop, diving to her left to pick up a sinking line drive that would have started a rally for the Red Raiders.
"Dean's stab in the seventh was a crucial out," Forge said. " We played well enough defensively to make up our absence at the plate." Junior Caitlin Houston and Sophomore Sarah LaChapelle had the two singles for Gilford.
The Red Raiders fall to 7-5 in NHIAA Division III play and will host Laconia on Wednesday. Gilford is 9-3 with the win and will also be home on Wednesday to take on Farmington.

Laconia baseball scores 15 runs in final 2 inning to beat Franklin
FRANKLIN — Laconia erased a six run deficit in the final two innings of Wednesday afternoon's NHIAA Division III baseball game here to win 15-9. The Sachems headed into the sixth inning losing 6-0.
"We shouldn't have put ourselves in that position," said coach Jon Myers. "Don't get me wrong I am happy we mounted a comeback. I am proud our kids didn't shut down after giving up a six run lead."
The Sachems only need five hits in the final two innings to push across the 15 runs.
Franklin's starting pitcher Garrette Fleming had given up no runs on two hits going into the sixth, when he struggled with his control and walked the first three batters of the inning.
Laconia scored its first run on a pass ball. Trace Privette then hit a routine ground ball to third baseman Pat Kaplan who over-threw first base and allowed two more Sachem runs. Laconia starting pitcher, Andrew Salta drove in the only earned run of the inning on a long fly ball that bounced over the right field fence for a ground rule double. Franklin added a run of their own in the bottom of the inning to make the score 7-4 heading into the seventh inning.

FocusDriven Angered That Drive Coalition Lumps All Distracted Driving Together
Singling out cell phone distractions is necessary to save lives
GRAPEVINE, Texas, July 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — FocusDriven – Advocates for Cell-Free Driving today spoke out against the DRIVE Coalition – a group that hopes to address the distracted driving issue through education, not laws – at a press conference with the Department of Transportation. Cell phone distracted driving contributes to the greatest number of motor vehicle crashes annually – an estimated 1.6 million crashes.
"There is a growing number of victims and families who have been impacted by this behavior – I'm among them. My mother was killed by a driver using his cell phone. Cell phone distracted driving is a national epidemic that needs to be addressed on a larger scale. Yes, education is important, but it just isn't enough to change behaviors," said Jennifer Smith, president and founding Board Member of FocusDriven.
Previous efforts to change behaviors, such as reducing drunk driving and increasing the use of safety belts, show that to be effective it takes education supported by good laws and strong enforcement. FocusDriven encourages law makers to take a stand on the issue and protect our nation's motorists and others on the roads. As for the DRIVE Coalition, FocusDriven encourages them not to obstruct laws that will prevent these accidents and save countless lives.
"I don't want to see any more families suffer from a tragedy that was 100 percent preventable. How many more lives need to be lost? We need laws now – laws that ban handheld and hands-free phones," continued Ms. Smith. Drivers using cell phones experience a form of cognitive distraction, called inattention blindness, where they "look, but don't see." As such, they are more likely to miss important driving cues – such as light changes and road signs.
About FocusDriven
FocusDriven – Advocates for Cell-Free Driving (focusdriven.org) is a nonprofit advocacy organization for victims of motor vehicle crashes involving drivers using cell phones. FocusDriven supports victims of cell phone distracted driving and families of victims. Its goal is to increase public awareness on the dangers of cell phone distracted driving by putting a human face on the disastrous impact of the behavior, in order to promote corresponding public policies, programs and personal responsibility.

Talent sources for fantasy owners to tap are beginning to dry up in these final few weeks. Trading is no longer an option, and most players who have been performing are scooped up. What about those players who haven't been on the ice for a while? It may be down to the final 10 games for most teams, but injured players returning for the final few games can still provide a boost to fantasy teams.
Hawks forward Patrick Sharp returned Sunday from a sprained knee suffered in mid-February and immediately made his presence felt. He potted two goals and assisted on another playing on a line with Jonathan Toews and Troy Brouwer. Sharp has 41 points in 55 games and is available in 15 percent of ESPN leagues.
Nathan Horton's ownership in ESPN leagues has slipped to 84 percent during a two-week absence due to a severed tendon. He's due back for the Panthers today and will provide a boost to any fantasy owner who can scoop him up or activate him from the bench. Injuries have prevented him from breaking any career marks, but his per-game production hasn't fallen much.
The often injured but highly skilled Justin Williams made his L.A. debut Friday after coming over from Carolina on the trade deadline. Williams has been out since Feb. 15, when he broke a finger in his left hand. On Sunday he skated on the team's second line with Jarret Stoll and Alexander Frolov. Depending on the chemistry he can find with his Kings linemates, Williams could be a deep-league asset going forward. The Los Angeles power play features some skilled players, and Williams had 24 power-play points in his last full season with the Hurricanes in 2006-07.
From the anticlimax department: The return of Brad Richards to the Dallas Stars' lineup was short-lived. After posting a minus-2 in 15 minutes of ice time, Richards suffered a broken bone in his left hand. That will finish a disappointing season for Richards, who had just returned from a 15-game absence because of a broken wrist. Any boost in value Loui Eriksson or Brendan Morrison would have received by having Richards as their centerman can be erased.
Marian Gaborik played for the first time since Dec. 23 and is ready to become a wild card in many fantasy leagues. The oft-injured sniper has been limited to just six games this season (in which he has five points) and will be playing for a payday, as he is set to test the free-agent market this summer. Not only that, but it seems Gabby is coming back only for the playoff hunt, telling the Pioneer Press, "If we weren't in the playoff hunt, if there was no chance we could make it, I wouldn't be playing." He's available in just shy of 18 percent of ESPN leagues and will prove to be a huge coup to those fantasy owners who take the chance. When motivated, Gaborik is one of the best in the business, and he has plenty of reason to push himself in the final 10 games of the season. He immediately was placed on the top line with Mikko Koivu and Antti Miettinen (until Koivu was injured in the second period) and was a staple on the first power-play unit. The points will come.
Sunny Days Ahead
Joel Ward, RW, Predators: With Jason Arnott sidelined, Ward has been riding on the hot streak by J.P. Dumont. He has goals in three straight and a total of five points in those contests. The Preds still have two solid lines to ice, so Ward, Dumont and center Vernon Fiddler aren't the sole focus of the opposing defense.
Brendan Bell, D, Senators: The surging Senators are likely rallying too late for a playoff spot, but that doesn't mean we can't capitalize on their enthusiasm. Bell has become a power-play staple in recent games and has a total of six points in four games, with half of them coming on the man advantage. His defense partner, Chris Campoli, has been mentioned before as a talented puck mover, and that influence is surely being felt by Bell in his own efforts. Either player makes a decent deep-league addition.
Ryan Callahan, RW, Rangers: I won't attempt to create any justification for how Callahan has managed a six-game point streak (with eight points) as a third-liner for the Blueshirts, but I ask you to join me in simply accepting it. He doesn't get power-play time, and his linemates are Brandon Dubinsky and Fredrik Sjostrom, yet Callahan has managed to be fantasy-worthy of late. Try not to think about it and just ride the wave.
Sean Avery, LW, Rangers: Avery, on the other hand, is getting plenty of quality ice time with the Rangers' first line and on the power play. He has been quite a catalyst for coach John Tortorella lately, with seven points in eight games. Avery's not producing the penalty minutes that we have come to expect, but if you need scoring, he's worth a look.
Steven Stamkos, C, Lightning: Intent on finishing his rookie season looking more like the No. 1 pick he is, Stamkos has racked up 14 points in his past 12 games and is currently riding a five-game streak. Thanks mostly to ice time with some talented linemates -- Martin St. Louis and Ryan Malone -- Stamkos may end getting a few votes for rookie of the year after all. In the meantime, jump on the bandwagon; lots of room has been made on board after Stamkos finished November with three goals and a minus-10 rating.
Storms' A-Brewin'
Ty Conklin, G, Red Wings: Chris Osgood has won four straight and is easily playing his best hockey of the season. With 10 games left and only two back-to-back contests, expect Conklin to start two games (no more than three) from here on out. Do you want to bother keeping him for those contests? Find someone who can help you more down this final stretch.
Jason Arnott, C, Predators: If he comes back he is certainly worth owning and starting in fantasy leagues, but there are serious concerns about just what type of "upper-body injury" Arnott has. The Tennessean speculates that it's a concussion, which in fantasy hockey circles would be terrible news. Arnott remains questionable since March 10 and is unlikely to suit up for the Preds' next contest Tuesday. Concussions are fickle, and if you are in a close fight in your league, you can't afford to wait for Arnott.

Atwal claims 1-shot victory at Wyndham
GREENSBORO, N.C. Many players came to the Wyndham Championship for a push into the PGA Tour's playoffs.
Not Arjun Atwal. He was playing for his spot on tour.
Atwal won by a stroke Sunday at Sedgefield Country Club, becoming the first Monday qualifier to win on the tour in 24 years.
After leading or sharing the lead after each of the first three rounds, Atwal shot a 3-under 67 in the final round. He finished at 20-under 260 and earned $918,000 - or, more than double the amount he previously earned this year, the reason why his future on tour had been in jeopardy.
"I told my caddie, 'We've got nothing to lose this week. Just go out there and try and win it,'" Atwal said. "Guys are going to be out there trying to secure their FedEx Cup spots or whatever. We've got nothing. I don't have a card. I don't have anything. Just go out there and free-wheel it, and that's what I did this week."
He's the first Indian-born player to win on tour and the first to win both the qualifier and the tournament that follows since Fred Wadsworth at the 1986 Southern Open.
David Toms (64) was 19 under. John Mallinger and Michael Sim shot 62s to match John Rollins (65) and Justin Leonard (65) at 18 under.
For a few dizzying moments late in a low-scoring day, seven players shared the lead at 18 under.
Atwal, who carried a three-stroke lead into the final round, was at 19 under for most of the day but bogeyed the par-3 12th a few minutes before Lucas Glover bogeyed 14 and Toms, Rollins and Leonard all birdied No. 16.
"It just kept changing," Atwal said. "Everybody's tied for the lead at a certain point."
Atwal reclaimed the lead with a birdie on No. 14, Leonard birdied No. 17 and Toms birdied No. 18 to join them at 19 under. Leonard dropped back a stroke after running into trouble on 18, while Atwal still had three holes to play - giving him more than enough chances to settle things himself.
Atwal made his move on the par-3 16th, plopping his tee shot 6 feet from the flagstick and sinking his birdie putt to move to 20 under. He followed that with consecutive pars, sinking a 7-foot putt on No. 18 before dropping his putter and extending his arms upward in jubilation after closing out his first tour victory.
"I was thinking about going to the (driving) range, but when he got to 20 under and they said he had a 15-footer on 17, I just went in the clubhouse and tried to cool off," Toms said. "I was ready to go to the range, if need be, but good for (Atwal). I know it's tough to get that first victory. ... I'm sure that he was battling some nerves, and to pour it in from 6-8 feet on that last hole was pretty impressive."
Glover (67) finished at 17 under, and Webb Simpson (63), Chris Riley (64), Scott Piercy (68) and second-round co-leader Brandt Snedeker (69) were one stroke behind him.

McChrystal speaks up one too many times
WASHINGTON Known for his blunt and uncompromising instincts, Gen. Stanley McChrystal spoke his mind once too often.
The commander of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan lost his job Wednesday as penance for his jaw-droppingly blunt remarks in a magazine article about the Obama administration's war effort.
Calm and introspective in public, if a bit brusque, the lanky four-star general has never been one to suffer fools gladly. But challenging the president and his team is another matter.
President Barack Obama, in announcing McChrystal's ouster, said the general did not measure up to "the standard that should be set by a commanding general."
It was McChrystal's hard-nosed realism that had earned him the job to begin with.
"You brought somebody in to get the job done after eight years of neglect and failure," said Anthony Cordesman, a national security analyst with close ties to the Defense Department. "You brought somebody in basically to fight his way through the bureaucratic and organizational barriers."
McChrystal, 55, wasn't trained to maneuver inside the Washington political machine, though. He spent most of his long military career in the dark world of special operations, including five years as head of Joint Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.
In the Rolling Stone article, McChrystal complained that Obama had handed him "an unsellable position" on the war. "I found that time painful," he said. His aides were quoted making even more provocative statements about the president's team.
The interview wasn't the first time McChrystal had irked Obama's team.
Last year, McChrystal decided that more troops were needed in Afghanistan and sent the Pentagon a secret request for 40,000 reinforcements. The request leaked, and White House aides were infuriated.
They believed McChrystal had put Obama in a dilemma - ignore a decorated war general, or send more troops at the expense of political support.
Later that year, Obama agreed to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan on the condition they begin leaving by July 2011.
McChrystal previously drew criticism for the handling of the friendly fire shooting of Army Ranger Pat Tillman, a former NFL star, in Afghanistan. An investigation at the time found that McChrystal was "accountable for the inaccurate and misleading assertions" contained in papers recommending that Tillman get a Silver Star award.
McChrystal acknowledged he had suspected several days before approving the Silver Star citation that Tillman might have died in friendly fire. He sent a memo to military leaders warning them of that, even as they were approving Tillman's Silver Star. The award's citation claimed Tillman had "put himself in the line of devastating enemy fire."
Still, McChrystal told investigators he believed Tillman deserved the award. In 2007, the Army overruled a Pentagon recommendation that McChrystal be held accountable for his "misleading" actions.
Unlike many successful military officers, McChrystal's resume includes only two years spent at the Pentagon - once as a vice director of operations on the Joint Staff, from 2002 to 2003, and again in 2008 for a brief stint as director of the Joint Staff - before being picked by Obama in May 2009 to run the war.

Barry Manilow didn't start out with the dream of being a pop star. The Brooklyn boy, born Barry Alan Pincus in 1943, had his sights set on a different goal just across the river: Broadway.
Long before his association with Bette Midler and his string of 1970s and early '80s mega-hits, Manilow wrote an entire score for the hoary melodrama "The Drunkard" in 1964. It was an off-Broadway hit, running for eight years at the 13th Street Theatre.
Perhaps that explains Manilow's never-say-die attitude when it comes to "Harmony." Manilow and his longtime collaborator, Bruce Sussman, began working back in the early '90s on the musical about a now-obscure German group, the Comedian Harmonists, that gained worldwide fame before being derailed by the rise of the Nazis.
The show has endured a troubled and fitful history.
"It's a story of starts and stops that's very long, and I won't bore you with it," Manilow said in an interview at the Ahmanson Theatre, where a new version of "Harmony" opens Wednesday as a co-production with Atlanta's Alliance Theatre. "We kept signing with people and they kept dropping the ball, for God's sake."
"It wasn't so much that the show was being developed," said Sussman, who wrote "Harmony's" book and lyrics. "It was that every time we went into the commercial world there were, on the other side of the table, people who were not succeeding and people making ridiculous suggestions." Those suggestions included casting rapper Jay-Z and writing in a part for the Von Trapp family, Sussman said as Manilow shook his head in disbelief.
The long fallow period followed a promising La Jolla Playhouse production in the fall of 1997 that was popular with audiences and generally well reviewed by critics (including my rave in the Register). Coming on the heels of that high, their inability to find commercial producers was especially frustrating, Manilow recalled.
"We'd stick with one guy for three years, another for two years. And nothing came of any of it. But none of the troubles had anything to do with the quality of the show. That's why Bruce and I kept fighting for it."
Finally, Manilow and Sussman went back to the world of nonprofit regional theaters in search of resurrection. They called Alliance Theatre artistic director Susan V. Booth in 2012 to ask if she would consider giving "Harmony" another shot.
Sussman beamed as he recalled the conversation. "The first thing she said was, 'Please tell me you're calling about "Harmony."' I think we almost cried at that moment." The Atlanta-based company staged "Harmony" last fall.
'It's always a big mountain to climb'
Sussman had stumbled upon a documentary about the Comedian Harmonists when it was shown at New York's Public Theater. He knew immediately he had struck gold. "I was just instantly drawn into it,'' Sussman recalled. "(The film) told a remarkable story, and it began to answer my questions as to why I'd never heard of them."
After the lights came up, Sussman knew what he had to do. "I went to a pay phone and called Barry in California and said, 'I think I've found it – the perfect story for our musical.'"
Manilow agreed to the project without knowing a thing about its subject. "I just trusted Bruce. He was excited, I could hear it in his voice. I'd been looking for (ways) to get into theater writing; we'd been dabbling at other projects, some animated films, sticking our toes in the water. So when Bruce finally found something that turned him on, I jumped in."
The Comedian Harmonists were hugely popular in their day.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
The premise of Flower is simple. Players assume the role of a gust of wind frolicking through various environments, picking up musical flower petals. There's no story ( at least not in the usual sense ), there aren't any particularly action-packed or cinematic sequences and there are definitely no bald space marines. If all this sounds pretty "homo," well, Flower probably isn't a game for you.
Now, with all that out of the way, we can discuss Flower in earnest. As mentioned earlier, players actually play as the wind. The controls are simple: pressing any button ( except the Playstation, start and select buttons ) causes the wind to blow ( accelerate ) and tilting the controller steers. That's it. That's all there is. This intuitive implementation of Sixaxis motion controls is as effective as it is fitting.
Players initially traverse gloomy, sometimes hostile, desaturated environments collecting colourful flower petals, each flower petal gathered generating a pleasant chiming sound and added to a brilliant, ever swirling trail of flower petals caught in the player's momentum. The environments themselves contain thousands upon thousands of individually rendered blades of grass and flower petals, and collecting certain flower petals will return vibrant colour to an entire region. A pleasant soundtrack completes Flower's artfully mesmerizing presentation.
Flower abandons the usual staccato of automatic fire, instead inviting players to relax and immerse themselves in a soothing harmony of music and colour.
Though technically, Flower does not have a story, the player's actions of restoring nature's warm, vibrant colours by banishing man's stark, hostile industrial grays bear obvious environmentalist overtones.
Verdict: Flower is a radical departure from standard gaming conventions that gracefully succeeds in delivering an exquisite experience for mature gamers. Less game than Nirvana inducing experience, Flower's soothing, breezy gameplay and harmonious mixture of colour and music make a strong argument for games as art. Moreover, Flower represents the best implementation of Sixaxis motion controls to date. Gamers can be proud to add Flower to their collection. Flower proves that sometimes, the best things in life are simple. Just be prepared for the sudden, overwhelming urge to buy a bigger, better HDTV after playing Flower.

Value: USD12.50.

I made the Mac conversion a few years ago, and I refuse to go back to PCs. I'll list some of the pros and cons that I have found:
The OS is simple.
As of right now there are no viruses for Macs. Be aware though that as they become more popular there will likely be some that are developed.
I've found my macs to be very durable (I've had the original MacBook Pro and the new generation titanium MacBook)
The battery life is amazing for their lap tops.
The Apple Store - You can bring in your computer and ask them questions, they can usually fix it on the spot if there are problems, and you can take classes there.
You can install windows on the Mac and have the choice of which one to use when booting up. This gets around any software that doesnt support Mac.
All those problems with Windows.... You never need to think about them again.
When Apple does upgrade the OS around every 2 years the upgrades are generally very inexpensive, and are very easilly done without any headaches.
Macs are known for their sexiness, and because of that they can charge more.
Although its gotten better, not all software is available for both Macs and PCs.
They are harder to customize.
There are some issues when using other companies' routers and such.

Residents of Avadi were witness to the slow and painful death of a calf which fell into a drain, on Wednesday.
The animal could have been saved had help arrived in time, a resident said.
"The animal was stuck in a drain on Avadi-Poonamallee Road. I tried to rescue it but was unable to. When I contacted volunteers of Blue Cross around 11.45 a.m., they said a rescue team would arrive shortly but nobody came. Around 4.30 p.m., minutes after the animal died, the driver of the ambulance called to ask if assistance was required," said Paul Justus, a resident.
Some butchers tried to carry the carcass away, residents said. "We tried to trace the owner of the animal but were unable to find him. We did not allow the butchers to take the carcass away, however," said R. Rajesh, another resident.
A volunteer of Blue Cross said they could not make it in time to save the calf as they were busy attending to other injured animals. "We save at least 50 animals every day," the volunteer said.

Calif. GOP seeks answers for turning party around
SACRAMENTO, Calif. California Republicans gathered in the state capital Saturday to assess the state of their party and consider how to recapture voters amid deep losses last November and a widening disconnect with nearly all segments of the state's electorate.
To be successful in the long run, Republicans will need to reach a large segment of California voters who have largely turned away from the GOP. That includes younger voters and Latinos, who are the fastest-growing segment of the electorate and are expected to surpass whites in California next year.
A spinoff group called GROW Elect that aims to recruit and help Latino Republicans get elected to local office drew an overflow crowd of more than 100 to its convention gathering. Ruben Barrales, a former White House staffer who was named head of the group last month, said his advisers pointed out the need for the GOP to reach Latinos when Barrales ran for state controller in 1998.
"I feel as though a collective snooze button was hit and now we're waking up again," he said.
Former state lawmaker Jim Brulte, who is expected to be elected party chairman on Sunday, told the gathering that achieving a "Republican renaissance" will require electing "Republicans of all colors in every community at every level."
Republican strategist Karl Rove, the featured attraction on Saturday, emphasized that message during his address. He implored the party faithful to field more diverse candidates and reach out to non-white and women voters.
"It's not just the tactical things of a better turnout operation ... we've got a strategic issue," Rove told a ballroom full of delegates and party activists at a downtown hotel. "We have great principles, but we sometimes talk about those principles in a way that makes it sound like it's 1968, 1980 or 2000."
He said the party's losses give the GOP an opportunity to re-evaluate everything from the ground up. Republicans account for less than 30 percent of the state's voters, hold less than a third of state legislative seats and lost ground in the state's congressional delegation last fall.
But the GOP will need more than just a diverse slate of candidates. In 2010, the party fielded women candidates for governor, U.S. Senate and treasurer, a Hispanic for lieutenant governor and a black for secretary of state. All of them lost.
Ashley Neumann, 43, a delegate from the Sierra foothill town of Grass Valley, said she is looking for answers from the party about its failure to select good candidates and deliver a cohesive message. Neumann, who opposes abortion rights, said she counts that issue among her highest priorities but does not like the way Republicans have discussed it.
"I just don't trust any of the candidates that I've seen to be able to deliver a logic, science-based, pro-life message. So if they can't deliver it, please shut up," Neumann said.
There are no plans to revamp the party platform, which espouses opposition to gay marriage, abortion and universal health care, and the roster of speakers for the weekend reads like a list of establishment Republicans.

Preval faces big challenge in Haiti's largest slum
By Tom Brown
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (Reuters) – The volatile situation in
Haiti's largest and most violent slum could prove a major
obstacle for President Rene Preval as he seeks to stabilize his
country and put it on a democratic path.
Preval appealed for peace in the troubled Caribbean nation
last Sunday as he was inaugurated as Haiti's first
democratically elected leader since Jean-Bertrand Aristide fled
an armed revolt more than two years ago.
But leaders of gangs in Cite Soleil, a shantytown home to
at least 300,000 people and a potent symbol of misery in the
poorest country in the Americas, say there can be no peace
without justice and a speedy response to their demands.
No ultimatums have been set, according to several gang
leaders who voiced cautious support for Preval when interviewed
by Reuters last week.
But chief among their demands is one for the return of
Aristide, who went into exile in February 2004 in the face of a
bloody rebellion and pressure from Washington and Paris to step
Preval, a one-time Aristide ally and previously president
of Haiti from 1996 to 2001, has said there is nothing to
prevent Aristide's return. He stopped short of saying he would
welcome back a figure still seen as a champion of the poor but
reviled by Haiti's tiny, wealthy elite.
"Aristide must come back," said Augudson Nicolas, a slight
man known as General Toutou who controls one of the gangs in
the teeming warren of shacks, narrow alleys and open sewers.
The United States has warned Preval not to allow Aristide
back — accusing him of despotism and reliance on armed thugs
to silence opponents. But that could reignite violence in Cite
Soleil, which has seen an orgy of bloodshed over the past two
A U.N. peacekeeping mission, now numbering about 9,000
troops and civilian police, has been in Haiti since June 2004
to support a U.S.-backed interim government.
Preval has asked the mission, widely despised in the slums,
to stay on for now but that too could backfire on him.
Cite Soleil's gang leaders are demanding the withdrawal of
the U.N. troops, saying they have killed women, children and
other defenseless people since rolling into the shantytown in
menacing armored personnel carriers.
Resentment runs high among many residents, whose
cinder-block homes are pockmarked by bullets fired during
pitched battles between U.N. troops and Cite Soleil's gangs.
Georges Masillon, 54, standing outside a sand-bagged former
supermarket where blue-helmeted U.N. troops are bivouacked,
bemoaned the fate of his 29-year-old son on crutches nearby.
The young man was shot by Jordanian peacekeepers while
trying to run for safety on February 1 when gunfire erupted for
no apparent reason, Masillon said. One bullet severed his
Achilles tendon while the exit wound from another damaged his
"MINUSTAH has done nothing to help us, they have only hurt
us," said Masillon, using the French-language acronym of the
U.N. mission
"Cite Soleil gave Preval power," said Sonson Pierre, a
self-proclaimed soldier in what he described as the army of
Commander Evans, one of Cite Soleil's main gang leader.
"If Preval doesn't respond to us it's going get hot," he
said, referring to the demands for a U.N. withdrawal.
Several of Haiti's gangs had offered to lay down their
weapons once Preval took office but none has disarmed so far.
Evans' followers, many barefoot and brandishing automatic
assault rifles, danced through mud-choked alleys and fired off
gunshots into the air last Thursday in celebration after
briefly taking a Brazilian army colonel hostage. Evans, who
figures prominently on Haiti's most wanted list, said there had
been a botched U.N. attempt at his arrest.
"All we want for this country is peace," he said. "I don't
think the whites (U.N. peacekeepers) want peace. They should

Recap of Thursday's live chat with Rob Neyer
MAY 01, 2014 1:30p ET
One month of baseball is in the books. It's May now, and there's a lot to talk about.
For instance, the Diamondbacks are the worst team in baseball. How about that? And the Cubs. Oh boy. The Cubs are nipping at the D-backs heels for the honor. Chicago lost Wrigley Field's 100th birthday game in epic fashion last week and their ace pitcher Jeff Samardzija is still winless despite having the 11th best ERA by a qualified starting pitcher.
Also, Jean Segura was hit in the face by Ryan Braun's bat, Bryce Harper had thumb surgery, and Robinson Cano was booed at Yankee Stadium.
And Rob's been writing vigorously as always about players who have endured opening-month slumps and the surprisingly good rotations of the Braves and A's.
See. There's lots to chat about, so stop by at 1:30 p.m. ET or just send in your comments/questions now in the chat window below.
