LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — While they won't come close to the estimated $6 billion spent on this year's presidential election, the five most expensive House and Senate races are costing a pretty penny on their own.
• Barack Obama wins another four years
• Obama victory sets up the next battle
• Five things the Republicans must do now
• Time for Obama to show leadership on taxes
• Three global tasks for the second term
• Democratic wins may thwart grand bargain
• Three post-election concerns for investors
• Obama: The best is yet to come for America
• Romney urges an end to political bickering
A few million here, a few million there and pretty soon it adds up to real money for some of the highest-profile Senate races — and an eclectic mix of House contests. The top five in each chamber are tallying a cumulative $400 million thus far, according to the Center for Responsive Politics's web site, OpenSecrets.org.
The dollar amounts being thrown around shouldn't come as a surprise to many, especially in a few key Senate races that could determine whether that part of Congress stays in Democratic hands or if power transfers to Republicans. From the battle for Virginia's open seat to a made-for-TV tussle in Connecticut, these races are chalking up more than $300 million in expenses.
The remaining $100 million has gone toward predictably expensive contests in Florida and California, plus a surprisingly costly duel involving a well-known incumbent, two Democrats fighting each other — and an uncontested re-election bid for a prominent Republican.
Without further ado, here are the big bucks contests in Congress:
Top Senate races
1. Virginia: former Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine vs. former Republican Sen. George Allen — $79.2 million spent thus far:
In a duel of former Virginia governors, Allen, the son of legendary NFL coach George Allen, seeks to win back the Senate seat he narrowly lost to Jim Webb six years ago. Webb is quitting after one term.
Before he was senator, Allen predated Kaine as the state's chief executive by eight years. If he is able to defeat his Democratic rival, the victory could prove to be the same tipping point that would put the Senate back in Republican hands. It was Allen's loss to Webb in 2006 that gave the chamber to the Democrats, who have retained control since then.
But Kaine, who also was chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has maintained leads in the lion's share of polls since mid-September though a couple of recent surveys are putting Allen in front. The RealClearPolitics.com average of polls gives Kaine a slim one-point edge.
Kaine's campaign has spent roughly $7 million more than Allen, but that's only a small part of the story. The big money has come from outside spending, where more than $48 million has been doled out in an effort to win this critical contest. And in outside spending, pro-Allen forces have more than offset the internal Kaine output with $28 million kicked into the campaign.
Among the key Republican contributors: more than $10 million from Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS, as well as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and national GOP Senate Committee. Those in Kaine's camp include the Democratic Senate Committee, Majority PAC and the League of Conservation Voters.
The two are dueling in a critical battleground state where Republican Mitt Romney is slightly ahead of President Barack Obama as he challenges the incumbent as the nation's top executive. But Romney's edge is even slimmer than Kaine's, as he holds a 0.5% margin, according to the RCP average.
2. Massachusetts: incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown vs. Democrat Elizabeth Warren — $71.5 million:
One of the highest-profile races, Obama's controversial special advisor to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Warren, is trying to unseat Brown. Brown assumed his seat in a 2010 special election to replace the late U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy, one of the Senate's most enduring liberal figures.
Brown, who is closer to the center than most Republicans, is getting outspent by Warren by more than a 3-to-2 margin — $35.7 million to $21.4 million. And it's showing up in the polls, as the RCP average gives the Harvard Law School professor a 4.5% lead.
Like Kaine, Warren is up in the lion's share of polls conducted since mid-September, but unlike her Virginia counterpart, she hasn't yielded much ground to her opponent in recent weeks. The Boston Globe earlier this week declared the race a tie, but most other polls over the last two weeks give the contest to Warren.
That includes Rasmussen Reports, which often leans toward GOP candidates in its surveys when others do not. It and a number of other pollsters are finding that Warren's lead is increasing with each survey they conduct.
Outside spending isn't assuming quite the same role as in Virginia, with roughly $4.6 million coming from sources other than the candidates' coffers.
3. Ohio: Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, incumbent vs. Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel — $66.4 million:
Like Massachusetts, this contest involves an incumbent named Brown and like Virginia, outside GOP spending is trying to compensate for a Democratic financial edge.
Brown seeks a second term for the seat he grabbed from two-term Republican Mike DeWine in 2006, helping to push the Senate into Democratic hands. Brown has been one of the more visible senators since his election, making a number of appearances on television touting Democratic causes.
That has helped his cause, as he now holds a 5.5% lead, according to the RCP average. Brown has maintained an edge in every survey conducted since March except for five that have found the race to be a tie. But the last one that called the contest a tie came from Rasmussen Reports and that was in early October. In all 20 surveys since then, Brown has gotten the edge in a range of 1 point to 11 points.
Still, outside forces are trying to boost Mandel's fortunes, including Rove's Crossroads GPS, which has contributed nearly $6.4 million thus far. The U.S. Chamber also has kicked in $4.3 million.
4. Wisconsin: Former Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson vs. U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin — $59.3 million:

Joe Mauer homers, snaps 0-for-10 skid as Twins beat Indians
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
CLEVELAND -- Joe Mauer broke out of a slump with three hits and three RBIs, including a two-run homer, to lead the Minnesota Twins to a 7-4 win over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday night.
The skinny
Mauer entered the game in an 0-for-10 skid, but had an RBI single in Minnesota's four-run first inning. He also singled in the second and hit a two-run homer in the seventh off Tony Sipp.
Trevor Plouffe's one-out homer in the sixth off Josh Tomlin (2-3) broke a 4-all tie.
Brian Duensing (1-2) pitched two scoreless innings as the Twins won for the fourth time in five games. Matt Capps pitched the ninth for his 11th save.
"It was a nice win," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "The bullpen was super. They all did their job. Duensing was fantastic."
The Indians have lost six of eight, due primarily to poor starting pitching. Cleveland's starters are 2-6 with a 9.52 ERA in the last eight games.
Mauer was behind the plate Saturday for the first time since being hit in the face mask with a foul tip Monday.
The Twins sent nine men to the plate in the first off Tomlin, who needed 32 pitches to get through the inning. Mauer and Justin Morneau had RBI singles and Plouffe added a two-run single with the bases loaded.
Twins starter P.J. Walters couldn't hold the lead and didn't get through the fifth inning. The right-hander allowed four runs in 4 1/3 innings.
The Indians scored in the first on Michael Brantley's fielder's choice with the bases loaded and again in the third on Asdrubal Cabrera's RBI single. Lou Marson's RBI groundout cut the lead to 4-3 in the fourth. Brantley tied the game with an RBI single in the fifth that extended his hitting streak to 11 games.
Singles by Denard Span and Ben Revere started the first-inning rally. Mauer's single to left scored Span and Morneau's one-out single to right made it 2-0. After a walk loaded the bases, it looked like Tomlin might avoid further damage when Brian Dozier's ground ball forced Mauer at home, but Plouffe followed with a two-run single.
The Indians loaded the bases with one out in the first, but scored only one run on Brantley's fielder's choice.
Kipnis started the third with a single, stole second and scored on Cabrera's single to left. Cabrera was thrown out at second trying for a double by Josh Willingham.
Tomlin made his second start since being on the DL last month with right wrist soreness. He allowed five runs and 10 hits in six innings.
Numbers game
• 11: Losses for the Twins in their last 13 games against Cleveland.
Health watch
• The Twins announced before the game pitcher Carl Pavano will return to Minneapolis on Sunday to have an MRI on his sore right shoulder. Pavano is 2-5 with a 6.00 ERA in 11 starts. He's scheduled to start Wednesday against Kansas City.
• Walters appeared to tweak his right arm earlier in the inning when he attempted a pickoff throw to first base after Jason Kipnis singled. Walters stepped behind the mound and was visited by Gardenhire and a trainer. He remained in the game without throwing a warmup pitch. Walters retired Cabrera, but gave up singles to Jose Lopez and Brantley before being replaced by Duensing.
Quote board
"I tried to text him to say congratulations, but the son of a gun changed his number. That was a big moment in New York. I was nervous for Johan."
-- Gardenhire, on former Twins LHP Johan Santana's no-hitter for the New York Mets on Friday.
On deck
• Sunday: @ Cleveland, 2:05 p.m. Cleveland RHP Justin Masterson (2-4, 5.14 ERA) vs. Twins LHP Scott Diamond (3-1, 2.27).© The Associated Press

Jamaica Primetime
Interview with Jamaican Fashion designer Asanyah A. DavidsonPublished Jul 11, 2011
This week we have a conversation with Jamaican Fashion designer Asanyah A. Davidson. Born in Clarendon, Jamaica Asanyah is ready to make her mark on the fashion world with recent release of her own label Circa24. Asanyah spent several years in the fashion industry and completed her MA in Design Studies at Central St Martins in London England.
Tell us the meaning of your first name?
According to my mother its bad luck to tell anyone the meaning of my name (wives tales) but I will tell you it can mean anything from "The one" to "God is listening" depending on what part of Africa you are from;-)
What inspired you to create Circa24 and where does the name come from?
I've been in the fashion industry for years and always wanted to do my own line but the timing never seemed right and I didn't think I was ready till now. The name is part my philosophy and part homage to my grandmother. "Circa" refers to the seeds that are planted and come to fruition later, good and bad. My grandmother was born 1924 and its because of her that I have an appreciation for the art of sewing.
How many lines of clothing do you currently have under the label?
CIRCA24 EVO is the first but I also had a bag line I collaborated with a fellow Jamaican on called ROCUS
You recently launched a swimsuit line. What was the inspiration behind the line?
Well the entire collection both swim and apparel was inspired by Pam Grier of the Blaxploitation movies of the 70's. Her characters were always strong, no nonsense and bad ass! What better inspiration for my line?
When did you first fall in love with fashion?
When I made my first garment in high school. I wasn't sure till them if fashion was for me but the look of joy on my classmates face when she tried it on and baught it from me... "my heart skipped a beat and I was smitten for real" Fashion has the power to make people see themselves differently..I saw that then.
In your bio information you mention" Jamaica" fashion. What is ""Jamaican" fashion and how is it different from others?
Jamaican fashion is vibrant but more importantly Jamaican men and women are vibrant and classy. I love to see the ladies get ready for church or a simple gathering. They take time with their appearance in an age of jeans and a t-shirt.
How would you describe your own personal style?
Simple, classic, vibrant and comfortable. I find that it always shows when women are uncomfortable in their clothes. I'm a bit fanatical about not spending money on things aren't comfortable..though all should have and expiration hour on them.
Describe your fashion mission?
To make being chic a trend. I want women to feel comfortable and sexy in well fitting clothes..not overtly tight or loose clothing that broadcast the wrong message about their level of class of style. And to become fashion name that brings honor to Jamaica.
Which designers do you love right now?
Wow, that's hard for me, I just finishing watching shows and I have to say I love L.A.M.B. and Diane Von Furstenburg for women and Oswald Botenage for men (he is amazing!!!!)
What item of clothing (if any) do you wish that more of us wore?
Well fitting pants. Go find a tailor get a couple pairs made if you can't find a brand that works for you. It makes a huge difference.
Any plans to start a male line?
YES!! As soon as I get the women's line running smoothly I want to do a men's line that include sport coats and well tailored pants for men that have more than the average white male...lol I style men and one of the hardest areas to find good fit are in pants.
Anything we should look out for from you in the coming weeks/months/year?
Working a Fall collection but I'm already excited about Spring 2012! Circa24 Swimwear is going to be HOT next season too.
A phrase you use far too often?
"There are no problems, just solutions."
What food brings your comfort when you are disappointed?
lol...that list is long but a staple is a cup of tea, Excelsior Crackers and Guava jam. It use to be Jamaican Chicken Soup (reminded me of my grandmother) but I gave up chicken earlier this year.
Fashion tip for the season?
Lace!! it's all about lace, cutout lace to be precise which we see a lot of in the islands, think of those linen table clothes with the cut out embroidery, get one or two classic pieces for your wardrobe.
In a nutshell, your philosophy is?
My friend Cai shared this with me once and it stuck. "Always dress like you have somewhere better to be."
Thanks for the interview. Any closing thoughts?
In this day and age of budgeting. Spend your money on quality pieces. Spend money on a tailor to have old pieces adjusted. And if you don't LOVE IT, leave it in the store.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1973 AMC Matador cop car (Anarchy!!!)
I wonder if the seller of this 1973 AMC Matador cop car chose that photo location on purpose? Was he just looking for an appropriately gritty background in an attempt to emulate Los Angeles? Is he making commentary on AMC's traditional underdog status and correlating that to an inability to keep the peace? Is he trying to juxtapose a symbol of law and order against a symbol of lawlessness in a statement on the futility to suppress human design? From the seller's description:
Finding a complete AMC Matador is a rarity. Finding a real "Z code" 401 police package 4-door is something special. Finding one that is an actual LAPD fleet vehicle… now that's the needle in the haystack! Authentic LAPD Matador "Enforcer;" shop #83986. Legendary 401 coupled to a 727 automatic. PS, PFDB, HD suspension. Original equipment included: T-2 can lights; 5-channel Motorola Motrac 70 with SIMUL feature; Federal siren with "Alert" feature; correct LAPD "Hot Sheet Desk" with Roster gooseneck light. May be the last LAPD Matador in existance. Clean and straight; just needs a little TLC.

Battlestar Galactica: Scar
Here we had a completely Starbuck-centric episode, one that showed us her continued feelings toward Enders and hightlighting her reasons for being enthused to head back to Caprica to take back their planet. As an episode that stood to spread out the primary plot of the season, I think it worked well.
Two big happenings tonight. First, we learn that Cylon Raiders are also capable of reincarnation, just like the
humanoids. Second, we finally see some Apollo-Starbuck action, though it doesn't happen like either of them would ever
had wanted. What Starbuck learns about the Raiders is definitely something for them all to consider dangerous since, as
she also learned, they learn by dying and never need retraining.
I really liked the Scar storyline and how a Cylon Raider could actually have personality and individuality. It's strange to think that what's essentially a mass of metal and guts could be a living, breathing thing.
One thing that had bothered me in the past about this show was how little attention was paid to the dead. We hear of pilots biting it all the time, but they seemed to be casually brushed off. In this episode, we see more of the shrine of the fallen, and get attention paid to the dead in Starbuck's toast. The writers definitely need to do this every once in a while, giving us viewers a sense of what it means to lose one of the very few left of their population.
Current fleet population: ~49,593

What are some of the best match for a Scorpio man???
In terms of compatibility (marriage, sex, love, friendship,etc).
- Asked by Female, 26-28
Swan Vestas ,
- Response by duggers, A Guy Critical, Male, 66 or older
I just Googled it and this is what they say:
- Response by randyl, A Thinker, Female, Who Cares?, Technical
Among Renaissance Men Scorpios appear in abundance. So generally a Scorpio can be considered a man for all seasons and signs.
- Response by rekkonball, A Guy Critical, Male, 66 or older, Retired
I am a Scorpio, my man is a Cancer. I recommend it! Scorpios tend to be posessive and a tad jealous, which works out because Cancers are fiercely loyal. Our strong-willed-ness and determination is complemented by their ability to chillax a little and calm us down. Plus they're able to keep up with us in the bedroom.
- Response by cons22, An Alternative Girl, Female, 26-28, Seattle
Scorpio men are really "compatible" with any other sign. Don't believe anything you read. They should all be neutered to keep hundreds of offspring from being produced from their promiscuous ways. LOL
- Response by joybird, A Creative, Female, Who Cares?, Therapist

The world spins as I stand still
Trees grow as I Shrink
Looking in a mirror is alike a big Black Hole
With nothing but disastrous toils
My heart is Shattered in tiny, tiny Microscopic pieces
I no longer have a soul
My Hopes and Dreams as all disappeared
My taught are lost within a razor blade
Jumping off the San Francisco Bridge or Eiffel Tour has always been a desire
Hanging myself is a priority but living life to the fullest is my biggest enemy
I plan what i want to be en carved on my tombstone" REST IN PIECE YOUR NOW FREE FROM THIS DISASTROUS PALACE"
My heart is a Dark Paradise
My razor as become my Paintbrush and my skin the Canvas
I have discovered that cutting is my bliss
Sitting on the floor, crying for more as my body screams in pain
Trying to move but my hands are stuck
Trying to get up but i'm restrained
My masterpiece is disturbing yet creative
People think they are just scars but they are a history book based on my life
My art work is all over my body
Watching blood flows feel great
As I laugh in the face of death
I may have a smile on my face but I also have cuts on my wrist
My soul grows cold like a tombstone
Don't ask me to unmask my demons
As my Demons as already won.

Light as a feather, sensing the wind passing fast
And feeling free from everything at last
Happiness and joy have found their way
And in her soul they'll forever stay
The long trail of memories passing by
Every word he said and every lie
Everything that was hunting her was gone
Leaving her spirit pure and as white as a swan
All her emotions were confused
To this big mix of feelings she wasn't used
Should she laugh? Should she cry?
Nothing matters anymore when you're in the sky
But now she's had enough and wants to stop
And it's too late because she hit the ground like a tear drop.

You left?
Because of me is it?
It was all my Fault was it?
I did Everything for you to love me,
I did Everything for you to accept me,
I did it all because I love you
But why?How could you?!
You left and break the Promise,
Which you were suppose to not Break it,
Your words were all a Lie was it?
And This is Just a Game then you`ll end it
I was just a Replacement,My Love
and YOU slap it on my Face like how it hurts
I tried and Tried to Move on,
But it still hurts
You were Mad because of a Worthless Lie,
You were mad just like how someone Died
But My Dear,You don`t need to Prove it on me
`cause I know I`m not the perfect one to thee
And Now may I tell you this,
That my Love is never Ending,
Whenever you hurt me
It just makes me love you more...
It makes me Feel heaven to fall for you,
But your life was in hell when I did too
So now I`m leaving and won`t come back
Because you left me Because of me.

I was sad and scared, in the middle of the silence, hanging on a string of blades
that is about to snap, a mirror in front of me, cries beneath me, depression was raging around me.

You are my best friend,
through think and through thin,
and I guess you didn't realize,
that it was a sin,
but I prayed to God,
to make you whole,
and to take you to HEAVEN,
and to save your SOUL,
I know he will,
becaus HE'S a loving GOD,
and HE can do anything, with just a nod.

Let me go,

where the noises cannot reach
and lies can not hurt.

Oh my dear
Big sharp knife
Slit my throat
Take my life
Take my hunger
Dry my eyes
Load the gun
Say quick goodbyes
Take the blade
Cut my wrist
Feel the pain
Tighten my fist
Lights fade
Time flys by
Get the rope
Frantically tie
Get a chair
Place it right
Once you jump
Don't try to fight
Seeing your life
Flashing past
You remember everything
In your horrible past
The flashing stops
Everything's black
Finally dead
There's no going back

The wave are turning and I want
To pull you from the tide,
You go under, yet you use
The blue-black water to hide.
What are you hiding from?
There's nothing to fear in this world.
Don't you want to curl up with me,
In love, tangled and furled?
Don't you want to breathe your last,
In a place you feel serene?
Don't you want to watch your family grow,
Your children reach their dreams?
Your conscience, it takes over.
You want to just lie down.
You want to go in peace and quiet,
Where you can't hear a sound.
It's not a choice between life and death,
But a choice within your mind.
You cannot search for who you are,
If you decide to hide.
I look at you, you look at me,
And it's all so surreal.
The worst is holding onto your soul,
But, nothing you can feel.
I know you want to touch the bottom,
And surface to the top.
But you're convinced that there is no way,
You'd ever want to stop.
I know you want to break free,
And swim back onto land.
Even though you tell yourself
That you won't stand a chance.
Don't tell me any differently,
I can see it in your eyes.
You want to live, you want to love,
Do it all before you die.
It's not your time to leave this Earth,
And fly into the sky.
Let's get you dry and take you home,
No sorrys or goodbyes.

I am not like the others
they laughand make fun of me
my eyes painted black by the shining sun
dark in my mind dark in my heart
deep inside i am torn apart
over years of neglect and anomosity
i wished i was a eagle then i would flee
to the highest mountain near the deepest sea
i would hide my sorrow under my wings
and i would no longer be the fool of whom they sing
i am a man full of compassion my love is deeper than a abyss
but my sorrow is deeper than the ocean in front of me
as i dive off the cliff i wonder if i will ever be missed

I can't remember a time without you.
You've always been here, following one step behind.
I've always known where our path would go.
It's time for you to lead, old friend.
I will follow.

It's hard for me to explain,
how I feel,
these emotions I'm having,
or how to deal,
I can't get over,
what's going on,
and I don't want to believe,
that your really gone,
I keep wishing to see you,
for one last time,
you were so wonderful, caring,
and in your prime,
I would tell you,
"I LOVE YOU", and I need you so,
and that I never, ever,
want you to go.
By Robielynn Collins
I have a thousand thoughts, running through my head,
but I still can't believe, that your really dead,
because you were so happy just hours before,
your heart in the heavens,and ready to soar,
I could never believe,
that you'de do such a thing, to just take your life,
and give it a fling,
what about the people,that cared so much,
how could you do that? we loved you such!,
maybe you didn't know it,
or maybe you didn't care,
whatever the reason,it just wasn't fair,
now you left us all here,
to live wih this pain,
what the hell in this world,
did you think that you'de gain?
The car door slamming shut
I knew what was about to occur
memories flew into my head
scattered like a scrapbook
I start to tear up
running fast towards the
hospital room, she was
already gone.
My face tear stained
as the world around me
stops. Silence is all I hear
as I say goodbye.
the days go dark
i sit in this park
its lonly and cold
but these feelings are old
iv seen it before
shes out the door
i slit my wrists
and my blood slowly twists
down my arm and off my hand
my life is fading and its so sweetly bland
i bleed for you
but you never knew
the slow downfall
of my life and all
its miserable,sad and funny to
how much i really care for you
its ok now my life is fading
but no one knows i only evading
the sadness of losing
and heartbreak, blood oozing
the white light draws near
its almost over from here
i love you my dear
you touched my heart
now its time i fell apart
its me not you
see the picture i drew
thats my blood my note of suicide
im sorry im not ok im the one who lied
its over my life has finaly reached its ending
sleep well my love enjoy this last text im sending

I am tired
Tired of smiling
When inside I'm dying
No one sees
No one will understand
That though I'm smiling
I have cuts on my hand
I let them believe
That I am happy as can be
But on the inside I bleed
I never said it
And I never will
But I'm dreaming of hill
The grass so green
The most beautiful thing I've ever seen
Yet all I have on my mind is:
How will it feel to jump off
And fly ?

pain in the eyes of angels
crimson tears run down their arms
looking for a reason to live
to become someones reason to breath
marks of shame on their hearts
every scar is a work of art
high and low like a canion of sorrow
ladders climbing up every arm
a symbol of strength never seen
by an outer soul
tears of blood like a never ending rain
tears will forever be stained

Life is only a dream, my awakening would have it seem. I came with
no direction and was taught love and affection. Quickly that all
changed and my thoughts were re-arranged.I built a wall out of hate
and aggression. Now i look for what's hiding because true love is my
obsession. There are but a few that share this view and I
lost contact the day of my inception. I want to share another, one
from my mother. It came from her loving perception. God loves you
and I do too, So when you feel like coming home, don't worry honey.
Just go you'll be greeted with a loving reception
Copyright © Matthew Hennix
I just want to end it all
I can't take it anymore
The crimson tears
run down my arm
and hit the ground
i want to yell for help
but don't make a sound
i hurt on the inside
so i hurt myself on the outside
everyone stares but they
don't understand
i'm dying
i'm chained to this sorrow
i can't break free
i look like i'm happy
but i'm dying inside
the blade is my friend
my only companion
even though i'm living
i feel like i'm dying
By Robielynn Collins
It wasn't my fault,
that 45' to your head,
what was going through your mind,
could not be said,
the pain you we feeling,
the hurt that you felt,
the emotions gone crazy,
because what life had dealt,
so in one little moment,
you took your own life,
and ended the turmoil,
the pain,
and the strife,
but for those left behind,
especially me,
I had to come to terms,
It would no longer be 'we'!
By Robielynn Collins
He wasn't a coward,
though he took the easy way out,
no one really understood,
what it was all about,
but I know the truth,
and the pain that he felt,
and the hurtful feelings,
that life,
he had been dealt,
so he ended his life November 1st..,
knowing that everyone would feel the worst,
but still he did it,
with that gun to his head,
II still can't believe,
that my best friend is dead !!!!!
I know now,
that you loved me,
with your heart and soul,
and I know in your mind,
that you had a goal,
you wanted me more,
then just in your life,
you wanted to make me,
your forever wife,
I know all this,
because you told me,
all the time,
but I was unwilling,
to make that climb,
you gave me everything,
on a silver platter,
I never thought in my mind,
that I'de see your brains splatter,
because with one little word,
I tore your heart in two, I never meant to hurt you,
or to make you blue,
I believe you were wrong,
when you said,"you won",
I just think it was an excuse,
an excuse to run,
So with that gun,
to your head,
you left this world,
way to soon,
now me and you will never watch,
another rising of the moon,
so in this poem,
I just want to let you know,
I loved you much{ditto},
but I have to let you go..
good-bye my love
Not many would pay attention
Even fewer would care
If I went beyond pretension
And did as I dare
If I let go of ambition
And released my tortured soul
No glory or recognition
Playing the undertaker's role
I wish not any sympathy
For I've created my own hell
Look at me with no empathy
Let no tears leave their trail
In days you'll learn
My presence wasn't vital
You'll carry on with no concern
For this friend once suicidal
My hand clasps tight
Around the grip of this gun
At last, I'll be alright
In a world I'm forever done
The taste of cold steel
With my mind on one track
In a few seconds a life surreal
No care to turn back
In memory the laughs we had
The times we would smile
Life wasn't always this bad
But got worse by the mile.

As I can not be rescued from this Abyss and for my troubles I would only feel more pain.......................................

I slit my wrists
At the memory of two fists
Coming down on my face
I can't help but feeling out of
Why does happen to me
I can't help who I might be
Don't you have any memory of
I never put up a fuss
But you still hate your youngest
Even though you are my father
I used to love you dearly
But now I hate you clearly
I can't take the abuse
When I only get used
I'm going to die
So it's time to say goodbye
Are you even worth my time?
Because I'm running out
Why you are up and about
Abusing me so
Why did you have to get so
I have taken enough blows
My heart is broken
And my mind is coming undone
My wrists are bloody
Look at them and study
That's my life
And you had no right
To force them into this light
They are red
And I am now dead

As i sit on this bathroom floor,
gripping a blade in my hand, with it
firmly pressed on my left wrist. I
start thinking this thought that could
change everything.. End everything. I
think of the people who would miss
me. I think of the people who
wouldn't care. I think to myself,
"Should I be doing this", this voice
inside me says, "Yes. Why are you
living anyway? Nobody cares for
you, they wouldn't even notice you're
gone. They don't love you.. Come on,
do it.. End it now, it's the best way..
It's the only way. The sound of the
voice was so weird. Well I can't say the
voice inside of me was wrong. It had
been completely right about
everything. What if this was the only
way? I wish it hadn't been true. It is
the only way. I think to myself, "Suck
it up! It will all be over soon. Just
one, two, three quick slits and you're
done. Get it over with already, i'm
tired of thinking about it! Then all of
a sudden, a voice said, "Stop! What
are you doing? This isn't you." The
voice was so heavenly, so clear, so...
Beautiful. I didn't bother wondering
where the voice came from, because
it came like the weird voice inside
me. I told the voice, "You don't know
me! You don't know anything!" SLIT
SLIT SLIT. Crimson blood, running
down my arm. I feel calm and in
control, but the pain is unbearable.
Unaware of it, I start to feel tears
running down my face. I get dizzy,
the bathroom I lay in gets darker. My
heartbeat gets slower, then, I fall into
a deep sleep. Or what I think was a
deep sleep. After a minute, I get up
from laying on the floor. I look
around, I see blood on the floor and
something else.. Me. Still lying there
on the floor, unconscious. I looked
so relaxed. Then it came to me. "Am
I dead?" Where is hell? Where is
heaven? I committed suicide so
heaven is not an option. I sit back on
the bathroom floor.. Confused. I fell
asleep next to my body. Morning
came, I wake up feeling groggy,
confused. I hear people banging on
the bathroom door and yelling. I
stand up, stumbling. I look around to
see blood still on the floor.. But the
unconscious, bloody body was
gone.. I was gone. Am I alive again? I
cleaned the blood, put on my best
face and hid the scars. I opened the
door and a bright light hit my entire
body like I just stepped into heaven
or something.. Everything is just so
clear now.

Been over several months and
I haven't let go of you.
It's Christmas Eve and the
thought of you brings me to
Seeing the untouched pale
skin on my finger puts my mind
in dark a place.
Without hesitation, I slash my
wrist with the used blade that
you had stabbed me with.
As blood drips on the royal
blue blanket, you once have
gave me, I realize, there is no
going back.
I wrap the belt, your belt,
around my neck. In the closet
that both of us know inside and
As I finally kick the stool from
under myself.
The weight on my shoulders
from the world pushes my body
towards the earth as this noose
of despair slowly tightens until
I no long can breath.
As the memories of us slowly
fade to darkness. And the
bright light I thought you were,
slowly dimmers.
Each gasp of air I try to take.
Only brings the pain You
caused back.
My last and final thought
forces it self Into my depleting
oxygen brain...
The thought that always and
will stay with me.... I miss

Third day of planning a funeral.
Dark and damp, flooded with
Bleeding from the inside, and
drowning in death.
Happiness is key. Smile and
wave. Blow a kiss and giggle.
No reason to be ill. Gifted with
girls, and the best husband in
the world. Fortunately, a mutt
too. A home, and a car, and no
worries to bare.
Dinner was fulfilling and yet my
stomach is empty. My
waterworks are running and no
one can stop it. Cold winds are
brewing and my fortune has
famished, my life feels
worthless, not deserving of
A coward they say, to commit
the ultimate sin, but lost in a
world that will never stop
spinning. An omen has been
predicted, a fate with no
beginning, it has been seen. It
came to me wildly, in a dreary
Here l lie with my thoughts and
prayers , hoping I will be
forgiven for all of these sins.
When I rest my final sleep,
please pray for me until the
end. My soul will be gone, into
the depths of hell and my heart
will be lost to a never ending
I'm sorry to cause grief on all
who care, but these feelings
are so extreme and too much
to bare. Let me burden you no
more, don't cause a scene.
Sadness is not excepted here.
Smile my love. At the end of
this road I will see you again,
and together we'll be peacefully

LONDON (MarketWatch) — European stock markets moved broadly lower in afternoon action on Thursday after strong U.S. growth data stirred tapering fears and European Central Bank President Mario Draghi signaled no further easing measures on tap.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, +0.19% lost 0.9% to close at 314.41, marking a fifth straight day in negative territory.

The U.K.'s FTSE 100 index UKX, +0.61% gave up 0.2% to 6,498.33.
France's CAC 40 index PX1, +0.18% fell 1.2% to 4,099.91, while Germany's DAX 30 index DAX, +0.23% lost 0.6% to 9,084.95.
Banks weighed on all the indexes, with shares of BNP Paribas SA BNP, -1.11% down 1.7% in Paris, Deutsche Bank AG DBK, -2.50% DB, -2.05% 1.7% off in Frankfurt and Standard Chartered PLC STAN, +0.98% 1.1% lower in London.
Shares of Metro AG MEO, +0.90% fell 4.8% after Morgan Stanley cut the German retailer to equal weight from overweight as the share price breached the bank's price target earlier in the week and the analysts "struggle to identify any near-term catalysts."
Sydbank AS SYDB, -1.10% lost 4.5% after the Danish bank said it would book impairment charges of around 850 million Danish kroner ($155 million) in the fourth quarter.
Drax Group PLC DRX, +2.61% rose 1.6% after J.P. Morgan Cazenove lifted the utility firm to overweight from neutral.
Focus on the ECB
Investors digested the latest interest-rate decisions from two of Europe's biggest central banks. The ECB left its key lending rate at a record low of 0.25% and made no changes to other official rates.
The central bank last month cut its lending rate by 25 basis points in an effort to boost growth and stave off low inflation. Since then, market participants have speculated whether the central bank would launch unconventional easing measures such as quantitative easing or negative deposit rates to further stimulate the euro-zone economy.
ECB President Mario Draghi said at the afternoon news conference that the Governing Council didn't identify any particular instrument as a potential tool in case further action is needed, although he emphasized that it is aware of the downside risks implied by a protracted period of low inflation.
ECB staff cut the 2014 annual inflation forecast to 1.1% from an earlier estimate of 1.3%, which was broadly expected. Draghi stressed that the bank's forward guidance is working, offering little reason to think the central bank is in a hurry to take additional policy action.
"He didn't back away from further policy action, but he certainly didn't hint that we should be prepared for another easing announcement in the beginning of the new year. It's at least several months away," said James Ashley, senior European economist at RBC Capital Markets.

By Billy Graham • May 31, 2005 • Topics: Faith, Jesus Christ
Yes, perhaps some people are more inclined to be doubters. After the resurrection, Thomas, one of Jesus' disciples, had the same facts the other disciples did, but unlike them he refused at first to believe. But when he saw Christ, his doubts vanished and he immediately exclaimed, "My Lord and my God!" (John 20:28).
Notice what changed Thomas: It wasn't his feelings, but the fact that Christ was alive and cared about him. And the same can be true for you. You see, often our faith is based only on our emotions; sometimes we feel God is near us or we feel we believe in Christ—but other times we don't feel that way. But feelings are not a reliable guide to the truth! Our feelings come and go—but the facts remain the same.
What am I saying? Simply this: Put your faith in Christ, and keep your focus on Him as He is revealed in the pages of the Bible. In other words, don't trust your feelings, but trust the facts—the fact that Christ was God in human flesh; the fact that He died on the cross for you; the fact that He rose again; the fact that He promises to save all who turn in faith to Him.
Begin by asking Christ to come into your life—and He will. Then take time every day to pray, and to read His Word, the Bible. When you do, your faith will grow and your doubts will fade.
I was a believer for over fifteen years and fairly well indoctrinated in the scriptures under very good teaching. I just don't believe anymore. Perhaps I've hardened my heart but, in the explanation above, I see no compelling answer. I read that as, 'keep reading until you believe., then you'll feel better."
This really helped a lot, I am a Christian and I've had a lot of trouble with trying to get over this whole doubt thing, it is really just like how you see in movies with a person with an angel and a demon on their shoulders, and I always want the angel but I feel like the demon pulls me away from where I want to be, I would stay awake at night wondering if it was only me who felt theses doubts but now I know it's not, I have now told my self I am going to try my hardest to take every opportunity there is to be closer to Christ, I just try to have faith I can do that, hopefully I will be able to go further into my Christianity more than just knowing about The Lord and his son, Thank you!
Thanks. I have felt the same way after leaving my faith and coming back. I will try praying, and reading the Word also. Maybe that's what I was missing.
faith is lukewarm, at best. How can we know for sure?

Unfinished Business
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
'Oh you're sooo wrong, Mr. Bono. Later WILL be better,' I argued.
I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you. Ooh.
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
'Cause tears are going nowhere baby
'Shut up! Tears seem like a really good strategy right now because I don't know what else to do!'
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass
'Wait…you mean this is just a moment? I don't have to think about and solve every future moment right now?'
I sat with that question for a moment. I wondered how to push through the stuck without ignoring it. I remembered a book I bought months ago called "Unfinished Business." The author, Lee Kravitz, at age 54, lost his job as editor of "Parade" magazine and spent the following year doing what Gail Sheehy said in a recent column about the book, some "emotional rehab." Kravitz reconnected with people from his past, people he had largely forgotten or dismissed because he'd become so busy with his career. In doing so, he found compassion for himself and for others, and discovered the essential need we all have for human connectedness.
Sitting in the papasan, eyes dried, I started reading "Unfinished Business."
"It isn't the easy tasks that become our unfinished business; it's the hard ones, the ones we are most afraid to face…
"The items on my list of unfinished business were linked to my deepest feelings of helplessness, disappointment and fear. It's ironic: We consign our most essential business to the bottom of our to-do list because we lack the time and energy to do the things that matter most in our lives. It makes sense: The most important things take the most time and energy and we have only so much time and energy in a day. You let things slide. But…if one can attend to these things, great rewards will follow."
If one can attend to those things… I read that line several times and realized that one of my pieces of unfinished business is reconnecting with myself. I've struggled with journaling – both my food and emotional life – because I've been reluctant to find out what's driving me to distraction and to examine some old habits I keep perpetuating. This "essential business," that which would help me become a more compassionate person not only to myself but others, is what I've put at the bottom of my to-do list.
I remembered listening to an interview with Kravitz on Radio Times (click here to listen to it) and how he'd mentioned a toolkit he'd put together for others to address their unfinished business. I closed the book and went to the website, My Unfinished Business and found the toolkit:
"Addressing your unfinished business is a five-step process. It involves:
1. Identifying the unfinished business that gnaws at you
2. Confronting the fears at its root
3. Reaching out to the person(s) you wronged
4. Making amends
5. Reflecting on the experience
"Each of these five steps is important to the process. Unless you face your fears, it will be difficult for you to reach out to the person you've wronged. Unless you reach out to the person, you can't make amends.
"It is through reflection that you learn the lessons that will help you refine your conscience and continue making a heart-felt commitment to acting in accordance with your most deeply held ideals."
I took a look at the worksheets and I think most of them can be adapted for reconnecting with myself. I've printed them out and starting today, I am going to focus on what's driving me to distraction. It's time to address those moments I feel stuck in, the ones that in time will pass, but they'll pass with greater clarity if I take care of my unfinished business.

Our road to self discovery never ends does, it unless we want it to ...and I never want it to. This sounds like the perfect place for you to be. Isn't it an amazing feeling when you find what you need to be doing.ReplyDelete
I felt a little like that my first week blogging, like a lightbulb had switched on for me and I knew where I needed to be.
Lovely post
I'm sorry you are going through some tough times.ReplyDelete
I hope you are in a good place and exactly where you need to be, though.
Thank you for this. You have no idea how much help reading this is to me right now.ReplyDelete
Hi Lynn,ReplyDelete
Hang in there. Tears are a good thing - let them flow when they need to come...scream too if that helps. I've found a lot of clarity on the other side of tears.
It's hard to let our defenses (or distractions) go long enough to feel what we really need to feel, but the answers await. It may take a while to find them, but please be gentle with yourself in the process.
Take good care,
I like your realization that you don't have to solve everything now...why do we do that to ourselves, putting so much on our proverbial plates?ReplyDelete
Hope you find peace with your unfinished business. Hugs!
Oh those papasan chairs are just right for a good cry! I want to get one right now!ReplyDelete
You'll be in my prayers and thoughts tonight Lynn.
Sorry right now is tough, but I think posts like this show you are definitely at least somewhat in touch with yourself. You'll get there. You have achieved so much, you can do anything you set your mind to. And remember it's about progress, not perfection. ;-)ReplyDelete
Lynn, this is a beautiful post and thanks for sharing your own journey to self-discovery. Now the U2 song will be stuck in my head, inspiring me all night. :)ReplyDelete

(West Plains) – Missouri conservation agents conducted an archery compliance check in Howell, Phelps and Texas Counties over the Veterans Day weekend.
Protection District Supervisor, Jerry Elliott, said this compliance check was very similar to checks the agents conduct at trout parks when they check all resource users. As deer were reported on Telecheck, the MDC's automated deer and turkey harvest data system, a pair of agents would dispatch to the hunter's address to verify the harvest and make sure it was taken in compliance with the Wildlife Code.
The group patrol was conducted Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM, checking a total of 37 deer and resulting in several violations, citations and warnings.
Agents discovered a total of 16 violations which resulted in 13 citations and three warnings written during the compliance check. Seven violations were a result of individuals hunting without a permit or with an invalid permit, one illegally possessed wildlife, three for taking deer in closed season, two failed to tag or check their harvest, one was cited for use of bait while hunting, one for taking more than their limit and one felon was in violation for illegal possession of a firearm.
Firearms deer season opens this Saturday, Nov. 16, and ends Nov. 26. The first portion of the Archery deer season ends today. The second archery deer season is Nov. 27 through Jan. 15, 2014.

A Pennsylvania woman shot and killed her mother with a shotgun before being killed by her father.
On Friday night, Josephine and Jeff Ruckinger invaded the home of Josephine's parents in Ashville, Penn., according to the San Francisco Gate.
Josephine Ruckinger shot and killed her mother, 64-year-old Roberta Frew, using a sawed-off shotgun while Jeff Ruckinger killed Frew's son, 47-year-old John Frew Jr.
The father of the family, John Frew Sr., told police that he found his wife's body by the front door and his son's body in their kitchen, reports the Washington Post. He then turned on the intruders, not knowing that they were his estranged daughter and her husband.
He shot and killed both intruders in self-defense. Josephine Ruckinger was pronounced dead of a gunshot wound to her head at the Altoona hospital following the incident.
Roberta Frew's sister, Virginia Cruse, said that the mother and daughter were not close and did not get along very well, according to the Washington Post.
She said that Josephine Ruckinger had "a hatred toward the family."
When Ruckinger was about 20 years old, she and a boyfriend broke into her parents' home and stole items from the home, which included the family's pistol, before running away together to Pittsburgh. Cruse added that the family had "more or less disowned her" after the incident.
Autopsies were conducted on all the deceased Sunday morning.

15* CBB Sunday Night Line Mistake on California +10.5
15* CBB Sunday Night Line Mistake on California +10.5
California vs. Creighton, 12/22/2013 19:07 EDT, Score: 54 - 68
Point Spread: +10½/-110 California
Sportsbook: Intertops
Result: Loss
The California Bears are showing tremendous value as a double-digit underdog to Creighton tonight. This is going to be one of the better teams in the Pac-12 despite some early struggles.
This is a classic case of overvalued and undervalued at its finest. Cal has favored to cover the spread in three straight games coming in, while Creighton has covered the spread in three straight. This automatically creates the kind of line value that is hard to pass up.
Cal's three losses this season have come against very good competition on the road in Syracuse, Dayton and UC-Santa Barbara. Creighton has some ugly losses to San Diego State and George Washington on a neutral court despite being a favorite in both contests, so this team is vulnerable.
Cal is outrebounding its opponents 40-33 on the season, and getting to the freen throw line 24 times per game. Creighton is only outrebounding foeds 37-32 and getting to the line 21 times per game.
Plays on road underdogs of 10 or more points (CALIFORNIA) - after failing to cover 4 of their last 5 against the spread against opponent after having covered 3 of their last 4 against the spread are 116-58 (66.7%) ATS over the last five seasons. This trend just goes to show that you should back a cold team ATS against a hot team ATS, especially when catching double-digits on the road. Bet California Sunday.

The Genius of China: 3,000 Years of Science, Discovery, and Invention
Prion, 1998 - Science - 248 pages
It is one of the ironies of history that the Chinese, who had all the ingredients for modern science long before the Renaissance, failed to build on their immense knowledge. Today, very few people are aware of the vast body of Chinese invention. The suspension bridge, the fishing reel, the stirrup, the parachute, paper money, playing cards, the decimal system, the seismograph, negative numbers, brandy, rudders, cranks, movable type, matches, steroids as drugs, propellers, biological pest control—all these and many more were Chinese inventions. This volume traces the stunning achievements of ancient and medieval China.

Royal College Praises Emergency Assessment Unit
Following a recent visit to the hospital's Emergency Assessment Unit (EAU), Professor Carol Black said the unit was an excellent example of how acute and general medicine was a valid speciality in its own right.
The NNUH has been a pioneer in emergency medicine ever since a Medical Assessment Unit was created at the old Norfolk and Norwich Hospital ten years ago. Since then the number of medical emergency patients admitted each month has risen from 400 to 1400.
Professor Black's comments come as the Trust hopes to appoint a third Consultant specialising in acute and general medicine to join Dr Paul Jenkins and Dr Robert Mallinson. This follows the introduction of a specialist training programme for registrars at NNUH.
The four-year programme has the backing of the Royal College of Physicians and aims to give qualified doctors the experience they need to diagnose acutely ill patients when they come through the doors as an emergency.
The trainees join a rotational programme which takes in the James Paget Hospital, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn and Peterborough General Hospital, as well as NNUH.
"With such a high number of admissions, our medical teams need access to senior opinion round the clock," says Dr Jenkins. "Our training programmes are designed to ensure that doctors have the relevant experience and confidence to deal with patients who are critically ill from a diverse range of conditions."
"The Trust has been visionary in devising training programmes and procedures to deal with these very challenging cases, " explained Dr Jenkins, who has been a consultant physician at the NNUH for more than 22 years.
"Our new training scheme recognises the importance of good teamwork and the need to treat the patient holistically, rather than concentrating on a specific range of problems or symptoms. It also emphasises the skills required in the management of the critically ill patient and, to this end, there is a large formal component of intensive care medicine included in the programme."
The initiative to create a new speciality in acute medicine began five years ago with the creation of a national Society of Acute Medicine. This is now a 150-strong group with representatives from various disciplines including nurses, anaesthetists and physicians.
Dr Jenkins is president of the Society, which aims to promote training and development and set standards in acute medicine.
"The following list of 'firsts' we have achieved in recent years shows how much the EAU team has to be proud of," he added.
Emergency 'firsts'
- 1994 The first Medical Assessment Unit (MAU) in the country was created at the old Norfolk and Norwich Hospital to deal with acutely-ill patients. Now known as the Emergency Assessment Unit, this is split between surgical and medical patients who require rapid diagnosis and a high level of individual care.
- 1995 The Trust began training senior nurses to take emergency calls from GPs who need advice in treating acutely-ill patients. This has been a great success and is now emulated by hospitals all over the country.
- 1996 saw leading-edge work between MAU and the Norfolk Mental Health Care NHS Trust in developing a psychiatric nurse-led service to help those suffering from self-harm.
- 1996 An outpatient service for patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was pioneered out of MAU by the haematology team, led by Dr Jennie Wimperis. This service has since won the prestigious Nye Bevan Award and has been emulated by numerous hospitals throughout UK.
- 1997 A pioneering training scheme for anaesthetists specialising in intensive care to develop skills in acute medicine was developed by the Trust. Since then, 12 anaesthetic trainees have completed attachments and this has proved to be a highly successful initiative. "It is particularly beneficial to have doctors from different backgrounds combining their skills in treating severely ill patients and the project looks likely to be extended to national training programmes, " says Dr Jenkins
- 2003 England's first recognised training programme for registrars in acute and general medicine commenced in North Anglia, centred on NNUH.
- 2003 The first wave of senior nurses was trained to admit, examine and start treatment for patients was commenced in EAU. Only a few hospitals in the UK have similar services.

Need to download all completed tasks with report
I need to download all completed tasks with dates for my reference. How can i do that ?
All responses
Hello Maharajan,
Unfortunately, it's not possible to directly download the list of your completed tasks, but you can print it. To do so, click on the Karma count in the top-right corner and you'll see a list of your completed tasks across project, grouped by date with the exact time of completion on the right side.
Now, choose "Any time" from the drop-down menu at the top and you'll see the complete list. If you then click on the gear icon in the top-right corner, you can choose "Print current page" to print it.
Best regards,
Dear David,
Thanks for the response.
This serves my purpose to an extent.
It would be nice to have the following
1. The notes appearing near the tasks
2. Ability to download this as an excel.
If you have the download as excel sheet, nothing like it. This would an awesome feature. Please pass this feedback to your team.
We will consider adding an advanced exporting system in the future allowing you to create a PDF file with this data for reporting.
Best regards,
I would also be very happy if I could include expanded notes when I print this completed tasks PDF.
You can also copy all your completed tasks at once and paste them into a MS Word document. If you want the comments, you'll have to copy & paste them one at a time, but you'll at least end up with a digital record, rather than a printed one.
Thanks for the tip!

Sources: Navy SEALs punished for secrets breach
WASHINGTON — Seven members of the secretive Navy SEAL Team 6, including one involved in the mission to get Osama bin Laden, have been punished for disclosing classified information, senior Navy officials said Thursday.
Four other SEALs are under investigation for similar alleged violations, one official said.
The SEALs are alleged to have divulged classified information to the maker of a video game called "Medal of Honor: Warfighter."
Each of the seven received a punitive letter of reprimand and a partial forfeiture of pay for two months. Those actions generally hinder a military member's career.
The deputy commander of Naval Special Warfare Command, Rear Adm. Garry Bonelli, issued a statement acknowledging that nonjudicial punishments had been handed out for misconduct, but he did not offer any details.
"We do not tolerate deviations from the policies that govern who we are and what we do as sailors in the United States Navy," Bonelli said. He alluded to the importance of honoring nondisclosure agreements that SEALs sign.
He said the punishments this week "send a clear message throughout our force that we are and will be held to a high standard of accountability."
The two main complaints against the SEALs were that they did not seek the permission of their command to take part in the video project and that they showed the video designers some of their specially designed combat equipment unique to their unit, said a senior military official. The official was briefed about the case but was not authorized to speak publicly about it.
SEALs, including some of those involved in the bin Laden raid of May 2011, have been uncharacteristically prominent in the news this year.
Matt Bissonnette, who participated in the raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan, but later retired from the SEALs, wrote a firsthand account under the pseudonym Mark Owen, but he landed in hot water with the Pentagon even before it was published in September. The Pentagon accused him of disclosing classified information in violation of the nondisclosure agreements he had signed as a SEAL. He disputes the charge.
The SEAL mission to capture or kill Laden, while stunningly successful, encountered a number of unexpected obstacles, including the loss of a stealthy helicopter that was partially blown up by the SEALs after making a hard landing inside bin Laden's compound.
The head of Naval Special Warfare Command, Rear Adm. Sean Pybus, responded to the Bissonnette book by telling his force that "hawking details about a mission" and selling other information about SEAL training and operations puts the force and their families at risk.
SEALs, both active duty and retired, possess highly sensitive information about tactics and techniques that are central to the success of their secret and often dangerous missions overseas. That is why they are obliged to sign nondisclosure agreements when they enter service and when they leave, and it is why the Pentagon seeks to enforce such written agreements.
The punishments were first reported by CBS News.

UNDATED (CNN) -- Jordan Linn Graham pleaded guilty last week to pushing her new husband over a cliff to his death. Now authorities are releasing their interrogation tapes in which she lies but eventually confesses.
On the tape you can hear, "So he walked out, made a call or something, I don't know if he made a call -- he was in the garage, and I got a text saying he was going and he left."
It was the story Jordan Linn Graham told Kalispell Police in early July to cover her crime that she has now pleaded guilty to: shoving Cody Johnson, her husband of only eight days, off a cliff in Glacier National Park.
In these newly released tapes, graham stuck to her story two days after Johnson disappeared, but she did give police some leads. She said on the tape, "But he always told me this one thing, when his friends came to visit, he would take them to Glacier Park, um, plains or the Hungry Horse Dam."
The next day, in an interview with detectives, she stood by her story but also said she got an email from someone named Tony who told her Cody was dead. The email was traced back to a computer in Graham's parents' house. She sent it to herself.
At one point in the recording, Graham gets comforted by her unwitting mother.
It wasn't until after Johnson's body was recovered that the FBI interviewed graham on July 16 getting her confession. She said on tape, "He went to grab my arm and my jacket and I said no. I'm not going to let this happen this time. I'm going to defend myself. So I let go and I pushed and he went over. And then I took off and went home or got my brother and then went home."
Perhaps the biggest indicator of Graham's guilt all along are her own words. According to court documents, soon after Johnson's body was found, a park ranger commented to Graham that it was in an odd place to which Graham replied quote: "it was a place he wanted to see before he died."
Graham pleaded guilty to second degree murder on Thursday. It was a plea deal in which prosecutors dropped a first-degree murder charge and a charge of lying to investigators.
Her sentencing is March 27. She could get up to life in prison.

Nowadays computers are used by almost everyone. They are used for typing, surfing the internet, playing games and listening to music. One can follow some easy steps that will make it possible to watch television on the monitor of a PC.

Now it is time to connect the input of the television service to the tuner card. First one needs to find out if there is compatibility between the card and the service. After that the software must be installed. Sometimes the software also makes it possible to use the PC as a modern video recorder.
Another option is to watch television on the PC without using a tuner card. One can check which broadcast companies or which websites of television channels are offering free shows on their site. For people who are looking for something simple and cheap, this is a great method.
