When your spouse do not care about foods.
- Chemicalkinetics Oct 20, 2012 11:25 AM
A Hypothetical Question:
I am sure that most of you greatly care about foods. Maybe you love trying the new restaurant around the corner, or maybe you cannot wait to try out the new key lime pie recipes, or maybe you have been saving money for the newest Green Big Egg smoker grill.
Now what if your spouse does not care what so ever about food? He/she realizes the nutrient importance of foods, but do not share the variety and enjoyment in food related issues. To your spouse, eating/drinking is like breathing air -- very important, but nothing to get excited about.
Is your spouse like this? If so, how to handle your food obsession about him/her? Do you tone it down? Do you hide it? Do you try to convince/justify? If your spouse is NOT like this, then can you imagine what you would in such a circumstance?
P.S.: It does not have to be your spouse really. If you have a story to share about someone very close to you, that is cool too.
I had a close friend who married a thin man who had once been obese. He ran miles a day and only considered food as fuel. She, on the other hand, was not thin, loved to cook and loved to have dinner parties. The marriage lasted 5 painful years....along with many others reasons the last straw was when he told her that remodeling their very out-of-date kitchen (they had bought the house 3 years before agreeing that would be done) was a waste of money and he would not allow it. PS The NYTimes ran an article today on a guy who keeps him self underweight whereas his wife loves to cook, eat and entertain...strains the marriage.

<ran an article today on a guy who keeps him self underweight whereas his wife loves to cook, eat and entertain...strains the marriage.>
That is tough. It is like trying to quit smoking while the other one is a chain smoker.
My husband isn't as into food as I am. He's a huge gym rat (and it shows :)) and considers food to be fuel. He "treats" himself with unsalted veggie chips lol. But, he'll eat whatever I make as long as it's healthy and he'll go to any restaurant I want to try out. He compliments my cooking and we've figured out a routine that works. I suppose it's like any hobby- your partner doesn't necessarily need to love it or participate but they do need to get why you love it and respect that you'll spend time and money (within reason) to pursue it.
re: Hobbert
<I suppose it's like any hobby- your partner doesn't necessarily need to love it or participate >
Probably more though, just because your partner can participate most other hobby without being in your face. If you like trying new restaurants, then it would be tough to try the new restaurants with someone else instead of him. Whereas I can imagine you can join a tennis club without dragging him into playing tennis with you.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Nah, I just go with someone else. It's not going to be fun going somewhere with him if he's not going to enjoy it. Ideally, it would be nice to go to any restaurant together but it's never been like that, so I don't feel like I'm missing out. I can understand how it would be a deal breaker but we're pretty independent.
re: redfish62
<because he chooses where to eat at random>
Random can be fun. :)
<I get stuck eating a lousy over-priced meal.>
Think of it like -- donation.
re: redfish62
"to him all restaurants are the same"
OMG. I cannot comprehend this.
re: sandylc
Actually I see this in my workplace. One of my coworkers is a foodie and loves to talk about foods, restaurants..etc, and ALWAYS bring gourmet lunch meals prepared by his wife -- who was a trained cook. The other of my coworkers do not really can too much about food. His goal is to minimize wasteful spending on foods. He buy boxes and boxes of frozen microwaveable lunches/dinner from Sam's Club -- in order to save money.
I guess everyone has different priority. I can imagine this can cause some problems if spouses have very different values on foods. One want to spend time and money to prepare gourmet foods and dine at good restaurants. The other considers these as wasteful spending and rather use the money on elsewhere.
My husband loves good food, but we have very different palates. I love most every cuisine. He prefers American, French, Italian and some Mexican.
Lunch is my Utopia. I am fortunate to have flexibility at work and can have lunch most anywhere in town I want. Sometimes that means I drive 20-30 minutes for lunch (not all the time, but 1-2 days a week). I have Indian food at least once a week. And I also often have Thai and Vietnamese as well as authentic Mexican.
re: Janet from Richmond
<My husband loves good food, but we have very different palates>
That can also certainly bring in some difference and stress. Thanks for sharing.
I could see it working with someone who didn't really care about food, but was willing to eat what was served. So if I cook a nice meal, he'll eat it without complaining, or he'll go along to a new restaurant with me and order something, and he doesn't object to me doing food related stuff. I could do the cooking, he'd do the dishes. We couldn't share my enthusiasm over the food, but his lack of interest wouldn't interfere with my fun.
I don't think I could handle things with someone who actively disliked food or eating - someone who makes disparaging comments about what I'm eating, or refuses to go to restaurants, or where I cook a nice meal and they microwave their pre-made dinner and eat it. I definitely couldn't stay with someone who tried to interfere with my enjoyment of food.
I think that food is a bit different from not sharing a random hobby, because it not just a hobby, but a necessary part of life, and it's also often an integral part of social life - a husband who refused to socialize at restaurants, or go out for dinner or have people over for dinner would be a social issue as well as a relationship one.
It can also become a big issue if you have kids - try explaining to kids that they have to eat what's served, but Daddy gets his special meal because he doesn't like the other food.
re: tastesgoodwhatisit
<I could see it working with someone who didn't really care about food, but was willing to eat what was served>
Yeah, but what if he/she does not understand why you spend more time or more ingredients?
<I think that food is a bit different from not sharing a random hobby, because it not just a hobby, but a necessary part of life>
I agree. It is easier if my spouse do not enjoy my sport because we don't have to go to the same game, but it is tougher if the spouse hates the food you enjoy. Let's say you like eating pasta and your spouse hates it. But this is another topic.
Mrs CHM and I have been married for 27 years. I'll eat about anything and love to try new restaurants and cook new things. It's difficult because she will only eat beef (extra super well done), pork chops (loin only, no fat, extra super well done), and boneless, skinless chicken breasts (extra super well done). No seafood of any kind, no lamb, duck, anything weird. Usually she dumps ketchup all over the above. She mostly likes convenience rice, stuffing or instant potatoes. No weird veggies like Brussels sprouts although she does like asparagus. She favors canned carrots.
I roasted a chicken a few weeks ago. Just before it was done, she saw what I was making, got excited and disappeared. As I was pulling the bird out of the oven she got home with two packets of store brand powdered chicken gravy. I told her I was making gravy from the chicken drippings. She said the powdered stuff was better.
We're compatible in most other ways, but I wish she was a little more into food.
re: chileheadmike
<got excited and disappeared....got home with two packets of store brand powdered chicken gravy>
This is an excellent story. Thanks for sharing.
Mine pretty much doesn't care. He also has an unbelievably sensitive stomach (not an excuse, I have enough experience to know). I probably wouldn't be much into food either if any new thing I tried had a 70% chance of making me ill. Our arrangement is that if I'm having something he doesn't want, I throw a steak in the G Foreman grill and some fries in the oven, i.e. 15 seconds of effort on my part. We don't eat out a ton but when we do he's pretty much game for anything-yes, he'll be that guy getting stirfry at the sushi restaurant, but he's there and keeps any comments to himself. If I could change one thing about him, I would make him a more adventurous eater, but there are an awful lot of things I would never want to change so it's okay.
re: ErnieD
<he'll be that guy getting stirfry at the sushi restaurant, but he's there and keeps any comments to himself>
To be honest, you are already in a very good situation. He does not enjoy it, but he is willing to do it for you. What more to ask?
re: Chemicalkinetics
Completely agreed. I would not be willing to eat what he wants most of the time, so he's probably technically the better spouse.
re: ErnieD
"I throw a steak in the G Foreman grill . . . "
That has a 70% chance of making me ill - and I eat evrything.
re: MGZ
Ha! I don't do it for myself but it was well worth the $20. If I can just gross you out even further-I clean it probably once a month. The husband loves it, and my experience has been that trying to change what people want to eat is slightly more frustrating than repeatedly slamming your head in a door.
re: ErnieD
I'd bet a steak coming off one of those grills would benefit from the thing being dirty. At the end of the day, I'm just not a fan of steamed beef.
re: MGZ
Have you been to Chinese dim sum? There is a steamed (beef) meat ball dish:
Of course, there is the steamed beef in rice noodle (wrap) dish:
My MIL doesn't enjoy eating. If she could, she would love to be able to pop a pill for her nutritional needs and never eat food. She's actual said that. MIL is a terrible cook. The FIL on the other hand isn't picky at all. He will eat anything that's put in front of him. So it all works out. Happily neither trait was passed on to the children. The stories I have been told by the wife and SILs about the meals they suffered through as children are very amusing.
I'm a "single again". At this point in my life it would be difficult to get serious with a person who wasn't somewhat adventurous and open to exploring food. It is an area I would want to share frequently with a partner. If they were not interested in food it would probably limit our shared experiences to the point that the relationship just wouldn't have a chance to get off the ground.
At bottom, the more important to you that something is, when it is comparably less important to your partner, the relationship is severely handicapped. It may be surmountable, but it's an uphill climb. If your not really a food geek and just some kind of trendy foodie, then it shouldn't be so bad. It's really about the level of passion.
re: MGZ
<At bottom, the more important to you that something is, when it is comparably less important to your partner, the relationship is severely handicapped>
Excellent point, but I just feel food is more infused in family lifestyle than many other things. What I mean is that if I like to watch football and my spouse likes to watch Oprah. I can watch what I want and she can watch what she wants. We don't have watch the same TV shows all the time. Food is a bit difficult because that would means we have to prepare meal separately and we eat out separately -- that is just tougher than many other things.
My husband is very much an "eat to live" kind of guy. He's very into fitness and keeps track of his body fat % and all that. But he tolerates my hobby of cooking and eating just fine. He doesn't grouch at me for buying kitchenware or ingredients that other people could find frivolous. And he does like and compliment my food, but doesn't fully appreciate it. But I have a close knit group of pals that do and that's good enough for me. And sometimes I just enjoy my own food or a new restaurant alone. That sort of thing doesn't bother me.
I don't enjoy his main hobby, and we're fine having our own little things. I actually think it's part of the reason we have such a strong marriage, that ability to enjoy thing independently.
re: alliegator
Good luck to you guys.
re: alliegator
Sounds like my husband. I didn't know we had to be equally as enthusiastic about food til I read this thread :)
re: Hobbert
Me neither! Geez, it has only been 16 years... maybe I should call up a divorce lawyer just in case :p
Well this is the story of my marriage, basically! Mr. Sueatmo loves to eat but he will eat almost anything, and he doesn't have a strong sense of smell, or a discriminating tastes. He had to learn to eat spicy food, grated cheese in soup and salad, fish, and dishes he had never encountered. He had several rules about food. (He likes rules.) I had to learn to cook for both of us, not just for me or him. I had to learn to provide him with food he likes.
I also had to get tough on fats after his bypass, He had to learn to live without a lot of carbs when I went very low carb. Somehow we manage to have pretty decent meals now. He is a better eater than he used to be, that is he appreciates quality more than quantity. He isn't attached so much to soda or dessert. I've learned than I can provide a starch to him, and not feel deprived if I don't eat it. I've learned that he gets to eat some things he really likes, and so do I. For his birthday I will make him spaghetti, because he loves it, and I love him. And he will eat almost anything I fix for him after 42 years.
re: sueatmo
<He is a better eater than he used to be, that is he appreciates quality more than quantity. He isn't attached so much to soda or dessert>
Mr. Sueatmo sounds like a very likeable and generous man.
<I also had to get tough on fats after his bypass>
re: Chemicalkinetics
<Mr. Sueatmo sounds like a very likeable and generous man.>
He is indeed.
My boyfriend of 4 years was not a foodie at all when we met. For instance, no mushrooms, olives, blue cheese. Although he still somewhat of a "simple" palate (we laugh when I call him a simpleton) he has a growing interest in food and cooking. He's a rock star on the grill.
I have adjusted my cooking style. Lucky for us both he eats all vegetables! That would've been a deal breaker. I try to include him in meal planning, cooking (I give him things to do), and discussions about food (like food science). He has expanded his palate by leaps and bounds and is proud of himself for that.
He does roll his eyes every time a new cookbook arrives in the mail! And, we don't make it to the latest, greatest restaurants very often. But, his Christmas list includes his own chefs knife! I'm winning him over..slowly, but surely.
Good luck to you. Have you tried to get him in the kitchen with you and praising the hell out of him when he does? Every little experience is a victory!
re: pagesinthesun
<But, his Christmas list includes his own chefs knife!>
He asked for it? Or did you tell him that he is going to get a chef's knife?
In all honesty, I think it is "generally" easier for some guys to start with "grilling" because they feel it is more of a guy thing and that he would be a guy-guy if he is good at it. Pastry baking is the opposite.
re: pagesinthesun
Careful--next he'll be wanting an outdoor kitchen ;)
re: foiegras
Isn't a grill the same as an outdoor kitchen?
re: Chemicalkinetics
No, an outdoor kitchen includes a sink, small fridge, and at least 2 burner cooktop.
re: PotatoHouse
Maybe, but to an average man. A grill is his entire outdoor kitchen. Just so you know, when I was young. A large cardboard box was my home:
The relationship would never work, I don't think it would get past the second date. I am too much of a foodie to date a non-foodie.
Mr. Sunshine likes good food, although he's not really one to seek it out on his own.
He loves my cooking, and has point-blank told me that we go out to dinner so that *I* get a break, because he finds my cooking far better than most restaurants. He has always said that taking me to Europe was the best thing he'd ever done, because he couldn't read the menus most of the time, so would go with the lowest common denominator -- but I understood the words on most of the menus, so the quality levels of his meals in Europe went up considerably!
He buys me nice things for the kitchen -- I would never have bought the KA 6-quart Pro model that he put under the Christmas tree for me -- and actually had to nudge me to buy really nice appliances when we had to buy all new appliances when we moved to Europe.
I've taught him to eat (and enjoy!) stinky cheeses and foie gras, and have turned him into an oenophile --
-- so while he isn't really a foodie per se -- he's most definitely a happy passenger on my kitchen bus.
re: sunshine842
<because he couldn't read the menus most of the time, so would go with the lowest common denominator>
Sunshine, so what was the "lowest common denominator" for him -- since he could not read the foreign languages. You being the translator as the lowest common denominator? Or was he just looking at the prices?
He sounds like a real good sport.
re: Chemicalkinetics
he'd end up eating at tourist places with English menus, often with pictures...he's not the most adventurous eater you've ever met (although he's gotten much more so!) -- so he was always leery of getting something he wouldn't like.
On our first trip, I couldn't speak a lick of French, but I could read the menus! He speaks French, but real quirk of most language learning is that they teach you to conjugate verbs and carry on a conversation...but they don't teach you food words!
And yes, he's a really good sport about my foodie-ism.
re: sunshine842
<he'd end up eating at tourist places with English menus>
Oh I see. Thanks for the explanation.
re: Chemicalkinetics
and to clarify -- back in those days, English menus were pretty much reserved for the most touristy of restaurants and accompanied by photos, so you could just point...i.e., the lowest common denominator of "authentic" (whatever that means) and flavor that you can possibly find, although usually not the cheapest!
Nowadays, a huge number of places have English menus (with varying calibres of translation!), but now the places I described above now have banners proclaiming "ENGLISH MENU" and are rarely located more than a few steps from any tourist attraction.
I can't imagine living with someone who doesn't enjoy food as much as I do. Anyway. You'll just have to deal with it I guess. Feels like kind of lonely though.
When I was dating it was always a deal breaker for me if the woman I was seeing had broad dining limitations. It wasn't gonna work for me. My wife is more adventurous than me so its great. Only trouble is w/ friends and/or friends spouses who have food issues. Typically when a dinner out is planned with them we've learned to let them lead and make the best of it. But like most foodies we always see dining out as an opportunity for us to find something new or to introduce others to something new so it can be disappointing. We've found that our non-foodie friends just don't get it and kinda feel left out of the experiences. Their only recourse is telling jokes about how the meat is too rare: "I can still hear it mooing". It's a huge waste of time.
Reading through here makes me glad that I'm the one who is more into food.... I might have been kicked to the curb if I was on the other end!
I grew up in a Hamburger Helper kinda family and am really more of a foodie-in-training. BF's family is... redneck.
Eating out: He favours buffets, as he sees that as the only way to "get his money's worth". I successfully got him into an Indian restaurant recently, so I'm making progress on that front. (But we still went to a buffet on Saturday.... So slow progress.)
Cooking at home: I get frazzled when I cook, and I have really high standards for the outcome. I am almost never satisfied with what I make. He doesn't like that I get so stressed out about it, so he has often asked why I always need to try new "fancy" things instead of just making something simple. He eats anything I make, so it doesn't matter at all to him.
Basically, he tolerates my food habits but wouldn't care in the slightest if I reverted to meals out of boxes and cans. But I'm okay with that.
re: Kontxesi
You might want to try things a little simpler (not out of boxes and cans!) - until you're really comfortable with the recipes and stop stressing over how they turn out.
Cooking is a lot like sex -- it should be fun, not stressful or anxiety-inducing -- and it's okay to laugh once in a while, too!
re: sunshine842
It happens no matter what I'm making. Everyone else is RAVING about what's on the table, but I just am not crazy about it.
For example, I made shrimp alfredo for his birthday. Everyone said it was the best sauce they'd ever tasted, but I thought it was awfully bland. I made cauliflower soup on Friday; BF and his nephew both ate three bowls each, and I had trouble choking down one.
I think I'm just broken. :/
re: Kontxesi
Kontxesi....I find that I enjoy food more when someone else makes it. I find I tire of the dish many times (especially if it's something that's an all day event like braising or lasagna) by the time it hits the table.
And soup is always better made by someone else IMO.
re: Janet from Richmond
The night I made the shrimp alfredo my mom said something about "cooking the fun out of it" for myself. I guess I'm just so over it by the time it hits the table that I just want to let everyone else eat while I go take a nap! :p
It's good to know that other people experience this, too.
re: Kontxesi
Smelling the food for a while before eating it can dull your tastebuds for that dish. That's why restaurants season/flavor things so strongly, so that you can still taste it after sitting in their building smelling it.
re: Kontxesi
<Everyone said it was the best sauce they'd ever tasted, but I thought it was awfully bland>
I do that often too, but I try not to stress over it too much. Yes, I often am not happy about what I make -- especially baking -- since there is no good way to adjust the recipe in the middle of it. That said, most people love my baked goods. In fact, I like other people's baked good too. I think it is more than high standard, but expectation. Whenever I bake, I have an expectation of how the baked good should turn out -- how tender or how flaky or how sweet it should be, but they usually do not turn out the way I want, so I get disappointed. However, other people do not have these expectations, so they like them for what they are, not what they could have been.
re: Chemicalkinetics
I have found for this very reason that it's best to have flexible expectations ;)
And the nice thing about cookies is that you can bake a batch, taste, and then make some adjustments to the remaining dough if necessary. But the very best thing is to use really good recipes that make this unnecessary ...
re: sunshine842
<Cooking is a lot like sex -- it should be fun, not stressful or anxiety-inducing>
What are you talking about? Sex is stressful and anxiety inducing.
re: Chemicalkinetics
re: Chemicalkinetics
that explains a lot.....
re: sunshine842
Clearly there is a difference between men and women mentality :P
re: Chemicalkinetics
Or experience...
re: linguafood
In all honesty, I would not marry someone like that. Cooking isn't like other hobbies, where you can each go your own way. It has to be shared.
However, I do have a 15 yo son who only eats to live. I think he must have a mutated chow gene or something because he is super picky and truly doesn't understand food as entertainment and pleasure. I usually just make whatever I want to make, then let him deconstruct it or make himself a burrito or cereal.
The one thing I don't do is tease him about his pickiness. My mother used to give me a hard time about my "gourmet" palate (I couldn't stand the taste of the boxed, preservative-laden stuff she sometimes served) and used to mock her in-laws behind their backs for enjoying food so much.
I think it's best to just let people be when it comes to food. I can't convince anyone to love trying new foods any more than he or she could convince me to love watching a violent movie.
re: Isolda
I have been fortunate to marry and/or live with men who actually enjoyed food and cooking. Mr. Cheflambo (we've been a couple 15 years) is not as interested in the subject as a whole, but has always been willing to try new things, and is honest with his critique (less of this, more of that). His mother was an uninspired cook, so I guess I am lucky there is nothing on that level that I have to live up to. He's willing to try new restaurants, but we eat at home more often than not because he knows my cooking is reliable, not so much for some restaurants. I only had 1 boyfriend, long long ago, with whom I just could not agree on food. He wanted everything cooked well done - not just the meat ... potatoes, veggies, etc. He would not touch mushrooms, sour cream, cheese of any kind ... I just couldn't deal with it, My family still refers to him as Mr. No Fungi.
That said, I have a whole collection of "foodie friends" who came together with the impetus that their spouses/partners were NOT as interested in food as they are. We regularly host food-related events in each other's homes, share recipes, and visit the new restaurants in our city (Houston is a hotbed of culinary adverture these days) and our mates can come along if they wish, or stay home with their Lean Cuisine.

|Denying request from defense, judge will not move Aaron Hernandez trial
|10.31.14 at 10:06 am ET
Despite the pleas of his lawyer, Aaron Hernandez will not have the trial for his case moved from the confines of Bristol County.
Hernandez's lawyer, Michael Fee, argued that media coverage of the proceedings has made possible jurors biased against the former Patriots tight end. Results from a telephone poll run by the defense reportedly showed that more than half of the people asked within the county believe that Hernandez most likely is guilty of murdering Odin Lloyd.
"This has poisoned the jury pool in Bristol County," Fee said of the media.
Judge Susan E. Garsh, however, was not moved by the defense's case, and said she will keep the trial within Bristol County. Garsh said she believes that impartial and unbiased jurors will can be selected from within the county, as over 1,000 people are going to be summoned to possibly be on the jury.
The trial for the Lloyd case is set to begin in early January 2015. Hernandez also is facing charges in Suffolk County for the shooting of two men in the summer of 2012. That trial is set for May 28.
|Aaron Hernandez 'felt helpless' during police occupation of his home in 2013
|09.17.14 at 10:56 am ET
Aaron Hernandez has been mostly quiet since his incarceration in 2013 for the murder of Odin Lloyd, but through a court filing released Tuesday, the former Patriots tight end revealed some of his thoughts about the case.
When police investigated the murder in June 2013, they searched the Hernandez home and also wanted Hernandez's cell phone. Hernandez said in the document that the investigation of his home made him worried for his the rest of his family.
"I felt helpless in the face of the occupation of my house by the police," Hernandez said. "I was also very concerned about what would happen to my fiancee and our baby if I refused to answer their questions."
The court filling is an attempt to support a motion that would suppress evidence from Hernandez's cell phone. During the occupation of the house by 10 officers, Hernandez said police asked for the phone and its password.
The day before the investigation of the home, lawyers told police that all questions about the case should be directed toward them and not Hernandez. The ex-player's attorneys also said Hernandez should have been read a Miranda warning to remain silent.
Hernandez's legal team also is looking to suppress evidence that police took from his SUV, saying the warrant to search it did not have probable cause.
|Judge denies Aaron Hernandez's dismissal request
|07.25.14 at 9:24 am ET
Bristol Superior Court Judge E. Susan Garsh rejected defense claims that former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has been wrongly accused of murder in the 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd.
The defense had requested Garsh dismiss all charges against Hernandez because Bristol prosecutors haven't shown who actually fired the shots that killed Lloyd in a North Attleboro industrial park last summer.
Garsh wrote the defense also argued that the only proof on Hernandez is that he was in a car with friends Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz when they picked up Lloyd that night.
Garsh ruled Thursday the Commonwealth, "was not required to present evidence before the grand jury as to exactly how Hernandez participated in the murder or as to who shot Lloyd," given the evidence already provided.
"He claims that the evidence demonstrated no more than his presence in the car with Ortiz, Wallace, and Lloyd shortly before Lloyd was shot to death," Garsh wrote. "The grand jury heard sufficient evidence to establish probable cause that Hernandez intentionally participated in some meaningful way in the commission of the offense."
Hernandez is being charged with first-degree murder in Lloyd's death.
Garsh noted the alleged motive for Lloyd's killing. According to the ruling, Hernandez allegedly was upset that he had taken Lloyd to his Franklin townhouse, which he apparently didn't want him knowing about, following a trip to a Boston nightclub on June 14, 2013.
Hernandez allegedly summoned Wallace and Ortiz on June 16, picked up Lloyd from his home and shot him to death at about 3:30 a.m.
|Bill Belichick has 'no further comment' on text messages with Aaron Hernandez
|07.23.14 at 10:28 am ET
FOXBORO — Bill Belichick was not in the mood to talk anything but football on Wednesday, on the eve of training camp opening outside Gillette Stadium.
A TV reporter asked the Patriots head coach if he were concerned about the text messages exchanged between Aaron Hernandez and members of the Patriots organization, including Belichick himself.
"I think that was addressed by a lawyer last week and I don't have any further comment on it," Belichick said, referencing the statement put out last Friday night by Andrew Phelan, a partner at Bingham McCutcheon. Phelan clarified that there were not 33 pages of texts between the two sides but rather a total of 34 texts.
"Earlier this week, a report indicated that an exchange of text messages between the team's head coach and Mr. Hernandez totaled 33 pages," Phelan said in Friday's statement. "While it is unknown how the texts were printed or displayed, I thought it was important to clarify that during an early investigation conducted by state prosecutors, the team produced a total of 34 text messages (not pages of texts) spanning a period of five months (December 2012 – April 2013) between the head coach and Mr. Hernandez."
On Tuesday, Michael Fee, an attorney for Hernandez, said the dispute over text messages had been resolved.
Hernandez is in a Boston jail awaiting trial in two separate murder cases. Hernandez is accused of killing Odin Lloyd in June 2013. He was released by the Patriots before the calendar turned to July. Hernandez is also accused in the double homicide in Boston in Feb. 2012, just weeks after taking part in the Super Bowl loss to the Giants in Indianapolis.
Still, the reporter continued her line of questioning with Belichick Wednesday morning at the end of the 12-minute news conference.
Is it something you routinely do with your players, texting back and forth?
"I don't have any further comment on it," Belichick said.
Do you approach your new players differently now based on what [Hernandez] allegedly did weeks before camp [in 2013]?
"No further comment," Belichick said before the news conference came to an end.
|Lawyer: It was 34 texts between Bill Belichick and Aaron Hernandez, not 34 pages of texts
|07.18.14 at 8:23 pm ET
The Patriots issued a statement Friday night via lawyer Andrew Phelan on the report there were 33 pages of texts between Bill Belichick and Aaron Hernandez turned over as part of evidence in the trial of Hernandez.
"Earlier this week, a report indicated that an exchange of text messages between the team's head coach and Mr. Hernandez totaled 33 pages. While it is unknown how the texts were printed or displayed, I thought it was important to clarify that during an early investigation conducted by state prosecutors, the team produced a total of 34 text messages (not pages of texts) spanning a period of five months (December 2012 ' April 2013) between the head coach and Mr. Hernandez."
Hernandez has been charged with three murders, including one alleged to have occurred in June 2013.

|DA claims to have evidence showing Aaron Hernandez's fiancee lied to grand jury
|07.16.14 at 2:50 pm ET
According to a court filing (via The Associated Press), the District Attorney's office claims that the fiancee of accused murderer Aaron Hernandez repeatedly lied to a grand jury and that it has "direct evidence" to prove it.
Prosecutors say their evidence contradicts the testimony of Shayanna Jenkins, who has pleaded not guilty to perjury related to the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd. Her attorney has attempted to have the charge dismissed.
At one point, Jenkins told the grand jury she could not recall where she disposed of a box that she put in a trash bag, covered with baby clothes, and that she was not hiding her actions. Hernandez allegedly directed her to get rid of the box, the contents of which are unclear.
Jenkins, who was granted immunity before testifying, is free on personal recognizance.
|Michael McCann on D&C: 'I don't think there's anything in those [Aaron Hernandez] text messages that implicates the Patriots or Bill Belichick'
|07.15.14 at 11:10 am ET
Sports Illustrated legal expert Michael McCann joined Dennis & Callahan on Tuesday to discuss the latest on former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez. To hear more from D&C, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
Court documents on Monday revealed evidence that prosecutors turned over to Hernandez's defense in the Odin Lloyd murder case. The documents included interviews with Patriots personnel including Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft, and 33 pages of text messages between Belichick and Hernandez from February 2013 to May 2013.
"I think Hernandez is interested in developing some type of — at least potentially — some type of defense where maybe he lacked the mental capacity to commit first-degree murder, that he doesn't have the sophistication or there are other mental defects, if you like, that would have prevented him from engineering the murder of Odin Lloyd," McCann said.
"I don't think there's anything in those text messages that implicates the Patriots or Bill Belichick. I have a feeling that they're going to be — and again, I'm speculating — something more along the lines of conversations about plays or other teams' players that the Patriots may have interest in. I don't think there's going to be anything in there that damns the Patriots."
The content of the text messages haven't been made public, but McCann said he doesn't expect there to be anything in the texts that would put the Patriots in a dicey legal situation.
"I think we would have already seen the Patriots, if not charged with a crime, some indication that that would happen," he said. "It's now been over a year; I would be surprised that Belichick would have been able to just continue to coach without any charges if he's in any way implicated in this case. I could be wrong, there could be something in there, but I have a feeling it's not going to be, again, as damning of Belichick.
"Now, there is a clause in the collective bargaining agreement, Article 21, that prohibits meetings between coaches and players during the offseason. Maybe that was broken through these texts, but that's really an NFL issue, not a legal issue." Read the rest of this entry »

Apr 14, 2013After reading a lot of reviews on this game, I must admit I haven't touched the single player aspect of this game. Multiplayer, however, I've spent many hours with. Aside from often having to make 2-3 attempts to join a match, I haven't run into many connectivity problems. Once I'm able to join a game I am able to coast along from match to match without issue.
Game play exceeds my expectations, which based on the stigma surrounding this game were pretty low to begin with. Graphics are decent and feels smoother that Resistance. I think the reason this game gets a bad rap is that with the vita, it's easy to forget you're playing a handheld. I can identify with that feeling after playing UC and LBP on the Vita, both really maintained the feel of the console counterpart with some added functionality for the Vita. Declassified however, is without a doubt feels watered down in relation to the console installments of the series. But in relation to a handheld experience it's pretty solid.
I rate this a 7 because, while not "great," this game does offer a solid online fps experience for a handheld system. If something like this would have found it's way on to the PSP I think people would have gone nuts over it. I've played both this and Resistance: Burning Skies multiplayer, and BO: Declassified is much more fun due to the kill streaks and perks.
In the end, is the game worth the $50? Hell no. I think $30 would be much more appropriate. If you can find the game for around 30 bucks and enjoy online shooters, pick it up without hesitation. Otherwise, it would probably be a good idea to wait until you find such a deal.… Expand
Aug 2, 2013I know that people hate the Call of Duty games (for little to no good reason), but if there's one game that deserves every bit of hate it gets, it's this one. I like the Call of Duty games, but this game is just GARBAGE.
Apr 28, 2013The campaign is short and boring with hardly a real story, hostiles isn't much better due to the horrible enemy AI, and the multiplayer has a ton of connection issues. About 50% of the time when trying to get into a multiplayer match it would load the match, but then immediately kick me me out as soon as it got done. Otherwise the multiplayer is fun, but the maps are all crowded and get dull after a while. The single player will last you about an hour, and isn't very fun. The graphics are okay, the enemy AI sucks and all in all you should only pick up this game if your really desperate for a COD experience on the go.… Expand
Apr 29, 2013Its no secret that the Vita isn't as much of a success as Sony hoped it would be, so they figured they would just get one of Sony's biggest titles, slap it on the cover of a game, and sell it like hotcakes. The Vitas previous FPS game Resistance: Burning Skies was a flop, and despite its failure, Sony has hired THE SAME DEVELOPER to create their Call of Duty game. Trust me when I say, this game is NOT Call of Duty. The weapons, Maps, and music may seem familiar to Black Ops on the PS3, but dont expect this to live up to the expectations of the big Call of Duty titles. There is no story, the gameplay is nothing new, and the graphics have actually only gotten worse since Resistance: Burning Skies. I dont know if this was all due to the developers only have 6 months to make the game, or simply laziness. The game does, however, have a few good sides. Nihilistic (the games developer) now has added some extra content for solo play. There are now both Hostiles mode and Time Trials. Hostiles is fun, but its relatively simple and may lead to you just quitting due to the dumb AI. And the Time Trials mode is essentially a variety of training levels stretched into a whole game mode. Now the thing that really hurts the game is the lack of Zombies. Fans of Call of Duty: World at War and Black Ops should be very familiar with Zombies as it is one of the greatest ideas in Call of Duty history. Well, Zombies is gone and without it, the game is just no good. Finally, the only upside to the game is the Multiplayer. While the multiplayer is not up to par with Black Ops on the consols, its still relatively fun. Fans of Call of Duty should feel right at home with its classes, killstreaks, and perks. SCORE: 4.0/10… Expand
Apr 30, 2013Este jogo não pode ser substituído por qualquer N.O.V.A Modern Combat ou até Dead Trigger, se você quer um verdadeiro Fps na palma de sua mão este o jogo!
Só para fechar com chave de ouro, os meus status no multiplayer, são de aproximadamente 500 horas jogadas.
May 1, 2013This has absolutely the worst single player shooter I can ever remember playing. The fact that I even finished the missions is a testament to my own stubborn bloody mindedness. This is an utterly awful game and I'm ashamed of myself for even playing it.
May 16, 2013it did what it was made to do give us a portable cod so this has to have a good score not only that but now it has a survival mode kindy and its fun ok so get it dont listen to these people
May 19, 2013Black ops declassified the 2nd FPS on the ps vita had a lot of hype surrounding it but the execution was horrible the game had nothing good the only thing it did ok was the shooting it feels a bit clunky but it manges to get the job done (with the aim assist turned on) but everything else is broken to performance issues glitches and other mad mishaps if you look on my black ops 2 review you see i have lost hope on the call of duty franchise but this abomination of a game has completely destroyed.
do not buy this game! never buy this game! not even if its £1 pound at game station it is a pile of mess… Expand
For the love of Sakaguchi-sensei, if you don't have something constructive to say, stay homeg. Such bitterness over a simple piece of software... It's just shameful. We are gamers. We use our minds to solve problems more often than encyclopedia brown. Frkn act like it.
Going bat-pile over the casual trivializing and glamorization of war i'd fully understand. I think the more contemporary war games have an obligation to touch on the horror and brutality of warfare as more than just a set piece. It breaks my heart that so few developers truly take this obligation seriously.
Now, on the flip side, NOBODY CARES how you feel about Sony, the Vita, how CoD compares to MoH, or if you had dinner for breakfast and pounded the cat while yer mom watched, all the while shouting encouragement in perfect aramaic.
Frankly, it just comes off as petty and small. Review the game or stay home. Please?
Seriously, for the love of Carl Sagan, if you must act the viturpative child, at least keep the spiritual anemia and whining ON topic.
I digress. On to business:
CoD:BOD is a well made, if comparatively basic, kill 'em all shooter. I haven't bothered with online multi-player, but even if it was comparable to cleopatra in a hot tub with helen of troy, I still wouldn't buy it with my own money. Not right now, anyway.
It just costs way too much. As of today, it's still a $49.99 download. Far too expensive for what it is. On the other hand, at $24.99, i'd prolly scoop it right up.
But as is, spend the money on 3 or 4 other games.

Jul 28, 2013This is a buggy horrible mess!
The 1 hour long campaign lacking a story line bored me to death.
Nearly unplayable due to massive look acceleration.
Nauseatingly low FOV.
Random crashes.
Can only play multiplayer if you have a NAT type 2 Internet connection.
FPS Issues.
The create a class system is just the same.
Has kill streaks.
Apr 22, 2014CoD: BOD is a horrible mash up of bad story telling, bad A.I., clunky gunplay, and repetitiveness. The story telling is flat like the soda that's half finished in the back of my fridge. The A.I. is like trying to make a puppet have good movements. The gunplay is akin to trying to untie both your hands with a triple know. The repetitiveness.....is like CoD. See a pattern here? CoD is showing its sloppiness. While I liked Ghosts and BO2 (to an extent), I can't give any merits to the game other than the graphics which are flat out gorgeous for a 3D shooter handheld game. Overall, don't buy it.… Expand
Jun 24, 2013Okay I'll make this short and honest. I gave it a 7. Why? It's not that I want to "inflate" the score or make up for what I bought. It's because I thought of it as such. The game's story is MEEEHHHHH all throughout. But seriously? This is a handheld who's sole reputation on FPS games is last to everything. It's new, so obviously, the way they make games like COD to this system would be expectantly mediocre. Developers just doesn't stick what they see on home consoles and stick what they can to a handheld, they had to start ALL OVER again and optimize what fits to the system. It's like making a game from scratch. For me, its understandable how this turned out, and I can't deny that I expected more. Despite this, the Multiplayer seemed good and (although with smaller and mediocre levels) playable enough to make me go back and play again when bored. It's NOTHING like its console counter-parts. CRAPPY even if compared. NO KUDOS to you Nihilistic. My 7 is merely for the decent, and sometimes fun, Multiplayer. I hope there will still be a COD for the Vita next time. A new and improved one. I also hope, that the upcoming Killzone:M would be different and 35 times better.… Expand
Jun 26, 2013Avoid this game, it is a broken pile of crap from Nihilistic. Animations, visuals, environments, and the bugs bring this game down. Not to mention the unstable servers. If you want a portable quality shooter experience, pre-order or go by Killzone: Mercenary when it comes out.
Jul 3, 2013This is a good game.
It's without question the best FPS shooter I have played on any handheld. I won't compare it to the console versions because let's face it... It is a handheld device. The duel analog sticks feel great after a few hours of getting used to it.
SP: I am enjoying this. The missions are quite short but bump up the difficulty and missions should take a while longer to beat. AI is ok, Not great. Some parts can be quite tricky on the hardest setting however. Save points would have been nice..
MP: Great fun! I really enjoy this aspect of the game. Maps are relatively small but you still feel like you are getting a COD experience. Games are pretty much always full and i rarely have any connection issues. Kill streaks, Perks and level ups are all here too which is great as I look to prestige 400 times.. Not
Final comments:
If you're after a quick FPS fix and then you should grab a copy of this game. It is a solid shooter and negative reviews should be overlooked.

Jan 4, 2014Call of duty is gaming biggest series that sell about more than a million copies at launch. I have been a fan of the series for just two years and I think the series is best known on consoles like the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii (no one plays on it anymore), Wii U, and recently on the Xbox One and PS4. There were also ports of the games on the Nintendo DS, but they unique end up being bad for most of them. In 2012 (I think) Activision announce a new Call of Duty game for the vita later that year. It could be the best Call of Duty game on a handheld and when it was released the game got negative reviews both from fans and critics getting fours to even a one out of ten. I purchase the game to the reason why it consider bad first the campaign if you call it that is incredibly short it would take forty-five minutes to complete the campaign making it the short to play through and plus the story doesn't make any sense having the Black Ops characters go through missions with no sense at all. The voice acting is horrible minus Frank Wood's voice actor is still here and the checkpoint system is completely gone making levels hard to complete levels on higher difficulty. The positives the gameplay is the same like other games in the series and the multiplayer is good to come back and play. The last thing a need to say the game was developed in five months and that a fact. Don't play this game, play the new killzone on the Vita instead. Also the game come with Call of Duty Road to Victory for PSP downloadable making the game fifty dollars it's better than this game.… Expand
Aug 3, 2013this is one of the worst games i ever play its is so bad that i cried hint hint big black ops fan so yeah. the worst thing is the whole game they need a whole new storyline
Sep 1, 2013I sold my other Vita before this came out, so I just got another Vita, and this game was one of the top had to plays on my list. So I really only play multiplayer so that is what I am reviewing. This is the first COD I have played since Black Ops 1 that doesn't lag in multiplayer, it's simple, gameplay is fun, it's just not overdone with too much extras, the big minus is the maps are too small. I like tight maps but that's all there is here, some diversity would have been nice.… Expand
Sep 10, 2013NOTE: I'm reviewing the game in its final patched state, which is really quite fun. Early reviews are based on the unpatched version, which apparently was absolutely awful. This is stripped-down Call of Duty, with an accelerated campaign, a truncated survival mode (here called "Hostiles") and a mostly-intact multiplayer. Graphics and AI both take an understandable hit. What the game lacks in features, though, it makes up for in the Call of Duty magic. This really actually feels like a Call of Duty game you can play in between classes or on the bus, and that (for me) makes up for all the cut corners.… Expand
Sep 29, 2013This game is not as bad as everyone says it is, the story mode does not make sence but it is fun. Hostiles mode is very fun but once you've played on all the maps it gets boring. The multiplayer is the best thing about this game. Its 4vs4 online with modes like team deathmatch, kill confirmed and two other modes, but once again it gets boring with only 5 maps, they should have atleast added another 4 maps with DLC.… Expand
Nov 3, 2013I am a fanboy of CoD and I love it, I know that is worst than other Call of Duty and other game but think that you are playing it in a portable and is not the same as a PS3 or XBOX 360 for example.
Dec 27, 2013What was originally planned to be the Vita's "big break" in todays competitive market ultimately resulted in what I can only see as one of the most disappointing games of the generation. Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified, while occasionally guilty fun, is the epitome of disappointment. Declassified's single player content is broken up into three modes: Contracts, Hostiles, & Time Trials. Operations mode is nothing more than a series of uninspired missions. Additonally, these missions can be completed in under an hour on the preset difficulty. Oddly enough, players can earn XP from completeing these missions. Unfortunately, this XP cannot be transferred to multiplayer. This bears the question of why this was even added in at all. This really is a sorry excuse for a campaign. Next is Time Trials mode, which is definitely the odd one of the bunch. Time Trials is basically just target practice with a timer. This is undoubtedly the least interesting of Declassified's modes, as well as the easiest. The last of the single player content is Hostiles. In Hostiles, players face off against endless waves of enemies. This mode had a lot of potential. Unfortunately, it falls flat. The lack of co-op support means players will have to go in solo. Without anyone to play with, this mode was outright boring. This is easily the best of the single player modes, but that isn't saying much. Unfortunately, things don't get much better in multiplayer. Maps are just inferior rehashes from previous games. Also, accuracy plays practically no part in Declassified. Simply spraying your weapon is the best way to go. Finally, connection in general is horrid. Every two out three matches will crash, even with a perfect connection. Declassified developer Nihilistic clearly had a "quantity over quality" mindset when creating Declassified. Overall, Declassified feels rushed, boring, and broken. Its one redeeming value is it's multiplayer, at least when it works.… Expand
Dec 2, 2013This sorry excuse for a game made me waste my time and waste 60 bucks. It has a 30 MINUTE campaign mode full of bugs and glitches, a poor A.I. and a unplayable multiplayer. Ignore the positive reviews, they're people paid by Treyarch to give good reviews OR CoD fanboys that can't admit that there is a bad CoD game. Don't dare touch a copy of this game, if it even can be called a game!
May 19, 2014Don't know why too much bad reviews for this game. It's not the best game of the series, but I think it's a good game. It's very alike the Call of Duty Black Ops (PS3), but it has a very quick campaign, but if you try it in veteran you can maintain yourself playing it for hours. And about the multiplayer mode, I haven't experienced any lag matches, since my network isn't any good. ^_^
Mar 15, 2014This Call of Duty is one of the worst game of the psvita.Well,I think it's the worst.It's a failure,a fail production in game industry.People just buy it because of it's a Call Of duty,but men,it's awful.If you want a game like this and many,many times better buy Killzone Mercenary.
Feb 14, 2014There is indeed a game here. It IS fun. It IS indeed a COD game on a handheld. However, Its as though they've never actually played their own finished product. There are so many niggling refinements that need to be made and without them it makes for a VERY frustrating experience. The AI know where you are at ALL times. They are already shooting you before you come around the corner. On top of that, whenever you are shot, your aim jumps 20 feet up so its impossible to bring it back down to shoot the guy that is shooting you. There are invisible objects, and things you just get stuck on. If you are an achievement hunter, this game will frustrate you beyond anything imaginable. Unfortunately, trophy hunting is the only way to keep playing the single player. Its VERY short. It takes longer to get through all of the annoying slow motion "cut-scenes" at the beginning when you have to repeat play for 3 stars.… Expand
Mar 30, 2014Я могу сказать одно. Кампания, это не для шутеров. Игру спасает отличный мультиплеер. Если вам нужен именно он, тогда берите КоД.
Jul 18, 2014Great, hectic fun that'll keep both single and multiplayer Call of Duty fans entertained for hours, with fast-paced, closed in maps for multiplayer and the great, cinematic feel of the console CoD games.
Nov 1, 2014The game is good for it's multiplayer the Campaign it's really not a Campaign it's just operations with people from the black ops games the only reason you might get this is for it's multiplayer.
The game cost 20 bucks.

CoD:BOD is a well made, if comparatively basic, kill 'em all shooter. I haven't bothered with online multi-player, but even if it was comparable to cleopatra in a hot tub with helen of troy, I still wouldn't buy it with my own money. Not right now, anyway.
It just costs way too much. As of today, it's still a $49.99 download. Far too expensive for what it is. On the other hand, at $24.99, i'd prolly scoop it right up.
But as is, spend the money on 3 or 4 other games.

Jan 28, 2013Declassified feels like a disappointing DLC bundle rather than a full release. In its best moments it proves that Call of Duty could work on the console, and it has some good ideas – earning XP across single-player for multiplayer unlocks is particularly neat – but it's exceptionally hard to justify how this ended up with a $70 price tag. The very best PS Vita games have proven that, in the portable market, size can still matter. This lesson has, ironically, been ignored by gaming's biggest franchise. [January 2013, p76]
Jan 14, 2013This game should have stayed classified or, at the very least, been redacted.

Cards are a resilient bunch though and I believe they will steal at least one at PNC to win it or bring it back to Busch.

A win would have put us in a strong position and assured us at least another home game. But it didn't happen. Losses happen in baseball, even postseason losses. Players play badly or run into bad luck. Managers make the wrong decisions. Umpires make bad calls. These things happen to all teams, no matter how good they are. Greinke and the Dodgers got beat yesterday despite all the hype about how awesome their pitching staff was. It happens.I'm just curious. Does all the bitching and moaning and complaining and proclamations of doom make those of you who do it feel better? Is it a reverse psychology thing? I'm serious, because for the life of me I don't understand it. I would have to be committed to a room with bars on the windows if I approached every disappointment that way.We can still win this thing. The boys will just have to dig deep for that Cardinal determination and grit. They will have to be disciplined. Playing at PNC Park has been a bugaboo for the Cards this season, but that doesn't mean it has to continue. Liriano can be beat. The key is to lay off that slider out of the zone and force him to throw more hittable pitches. Other teams with less talent have had success against him. They knew what to do and they did it. Our guys just have to not repeat the mistakes of the past.Look on the bright side. Even if Liriano beats them again, it's Charlie Morton going in Game 4. The Cards have beaten him, even in PNC Park. We can get it back to Busch and Waino. And Cole will not be the "mystery pitcher" then.---------------------------------------------You dont think they would go to cole on short rest against waino?

AAFP: 72% of Patients Prefer Physicians to NPs
Nurses and physicians are at odds over who is qualified to take the lead in caring for the expected surge of newly insured Americans that will strain primary care providers.
A study commissioned by the American Academy of Family Physicians shows 72% patients prefer physicians over nurse practitioners for their medical care.
"We decided in the setting of everybody talking about patient-centered medical homes and transforming healthcare that it would be really important to go out and ask patients what they thought about how their healthcare is provided, says Reid Blackwelder, M.D., president of AAFP. The survey of 1,363 adults was taken in early November.
The American Association of Nurse Practitioners, also curious about what type of care patients want, released its own study last month showing that healthcare consumers are in favor of expanding responsibility for NPs.
The two surveys do not exactly contradict each other, but it does indicate the two sides—nurses and doctors—are digging in their heels over who is qualified to take the lead in caring for the expected surge of newly insured Americans that will strain primary care providers.
According the AAFP survey, only 7% of respondents said they would prefer a nurse practitioner over a physician while 16% indicated no preference and 5% said they didn't know.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

I doubt it. Let's see the survey instrument, methods, and the data.
Beth Brooks (12/21/2013 at 6:25 AM)
Too bad the authors of the study confused medical care with nursing care. Two completely different approaches to patients. A bit like comparing apples to oranges. That and I wonder if the questions were phrased in an objective way ?? Hmmm. Somebody is worried.

Salad in a jar
Here's an ingenious idea from food blogger Julia Mestas: First, grab an old pasta-sauce jar and pour dressing at the bottom. Then layer your fixings on top, finishing with the greens. Take it to the office, take it on a picnic -- it's wilt-free magic.

UK based chip manufacturer for phones and tablets, Imagination Technologies has agreed to buy California-based chip designer, MIPS Technologies for $60m to compete against domestic peer Arm Holdings.
Under the deal, Imagination Technologies will acquire the operating business and certain patent portfolio, as well as license rights to all of the remaining patent properties of MIPS which designs CPU (central processing unit) processor architectures and cores.
The deal include acquisition of 82 key patent properties of "Retained Patent Properties" and license rights to all of the remaining 498 MIPS' patent properties under the "Divested Patent Properties".
Imagination Technologies CEO Hossein Yassaie said IPS architecture is complementary to company's existing CPU capabilities.
"Post deal closure, Imagination will continue to support and expand the MIPS architecture and ecosystem, with the combined effort aiming to create a new industry-leading force in CPU development and licensing," Yassaie said.
In another deal, MIPS Technologies will sell 498 of its 580 patent assets for $350m to Bridge Crossing, which is an acquisition vehicle Allied Security Trust.
The consortium which is buying the patent portfolio also include Arm Holding and MIPS will retain the remaining 82 patents that directly relevant to the MIPS architecture, and will also receive a royalty for the patents sold to Bridge Crossing.
MIPS CEO Sandeep Vij said after a review of a wide range of alternatives the company decided to sale patent properties.
"Importantly, as part of Imagination, the MIPS architecture will continue to be supported, and protected by MIPS patents," Vij said.
As a member of Bridge Crossing, a consortium affiliated with Allied Security Trust, Arm Holding will contribute $167.5m for the acquisition which it will pay from its cash reserve.
Arm CEO Warren East said the company is a leading participant in this consortium and the acquisition presents an opportunity for companies to neutralise any potential infringement risk from these patents in the further development of advanced embedded technology.
"Litigation is expensive and time-consuming and, in this case, a collective approach with other major industry players was the best way to remove that risk," East said.
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2013.

An Arizona man is selling everything he owns to determine what his life is worth.
In his 26 years, Lloyd Garner has accumulated his fair share of stuff, things he held onto with the belief that someday they would be worth something. From his college diploma, to an oil painting of Tom Selleck, Lloyd plans to sell everything he owns over the next eight weeks. It's part of an experiment that will determine his life's worth.
Two-hundred of his most valuable items, both sentimental and monetary, will be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Lloyd hopes it sends a message as to what's truly important in life.
"People that are curious they can see, what all of this, what twenty-six years has added up to," Lloyd says.
So far, after one week of the experiment, the value of Lloyd's life sits at $827.23.
