Mediterranean-style diets, rich in healthy fats from olive oil or nuts, may be better for the heart than low-fat regimens, a new study shows.
Spanish researchers found that the traditional Mediterranean diet bested a low-fat diet in helping older adults improve their cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar levels. The findings, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, add to evidence that diets rich in healthy fats offer a better heart prescription than diets that limit fat altogether.
Mediterranean-style eating generally means plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, limited amounts of red meat and processed foods, and a relatively high amount of fat from olive oil and nuts. Studies have shown that people living in the Mediterranean region have lower rates of heart disease, despite their high fat intake.

Are the ghosts of PacMan considered as Bosses?
Oh yeah Justice of Guilty Gear. I don't know it was because I was a kid, I was tired after all other battles or the fact that I use the most weak character (chip), but Justice was a pain in the ass and for me, one of the hardest bosses of all times (Yeah you can defeat him with the old guy, but what pride is in winning with a character that is not your main?).

Man I hate to be that guy but justice is a chick. And yeah super cheap.
Have I say Justice was a HE?
Everyone knows is a she, even if she has a huge mechanic dick.
Do you like big boobs? Dragons? Ninja? Martial arts? Wizards? Then click here and make all your wildest dreams come true!!

Also, a lot of people say that it's impossible to beat Lavos from Chrono Trigger the first time you fight him.
well believe it or not, i actually beat him... when i was drunk and stoned off my ass at the same time...
yeah... i know, sounds like bullshit., but suprisingly it ain't.
When i woke up with a huge hangover on a hot summer morning, my friends where telling me i had done the impossible the night before. ofcourse i didn't believe them, but when one one of them showed me a clip on his cell of me beating the hell out of it on the PSX, i was pretty flabbergasted...

Top Ten Most Expensive Chocolates the World
Chocolates are delicacies and to a certain degree healthy to eat. If money is not an issue, feel free to buy one of the most expensive boxes of chocolate in the world for the love of your life. We have built a list of the ten most expensive chocolates available on the market today.
1. Chocopologie by Knipschildt Chocopologie by Knipschildt
Cost: $2,600 per pound
Knipschildt Chocolatier was founded in 1999 by Fritz Knipschildt, who began his culinary journey as a chef in Odense, Denmark. The most-expensive chocolate he sells�a $250 dark chocolate truffle with a French black truffle inside�is available only on a preorder-only basis. It�s made of 70% Valrhona cacao, which is blended into a creamy ganache with truffle oil. The truffle is then magnificantly hand-rolled with a dark truffle on the inside and dusted with cocoa powder.
Chocopologie is much more than a chocolate factory in Connecticut�it�s an trendy European-style caf� that serves light fare from 7 a.m. to midnight, including specialty coffees and teas, and, of course, some of the finest chocolates in the United States.
2. Noka Vintages Collection Noka Vintages Collection
Cost: $854 per pound
Noka chocolate is a mixture of the finest dark chocolates, exclusively extracted from plantations in Venezuela, Trinidad, Cote d�Ivoire and Ecuador. The Vintages Collection of chocolate is 75% pure, single-origin cacao, with other ingredients that include cacao butter and sugar. Noka does not use any soy lecithin or vanilla n their chocolate-making process.
Perfect chocolate pairing: Noka recommends bold red wines and brut champagnes as the ideal complements to its chocolates. If you have the money, I definitely recommend you try both.
3. Delafee Delafee
Cost: $508 per pound
For those who love a bit of sparkle in their chocolate, there�s always Delafee. The chocolate is specially prepared with fine cocoa beans and flakes of edible 24-karat gold applied by hand to each bar. Other ingredients include sugar, coconut oil, cocoa butter, milk powder and vanilla.
4. Godiva �G� Collection Godiva G Collection
Cost: $120 per pound
The well-known chocolate brand maker, which first originated in Belgium, introduced the �G� Collection of chocolates, which are made with various ingredients and flavors, such as Palet d�Or, Tasmanian Honey and Mexican Hot Chocolate. Each chocolate is comprised of premium cocoa beans and other ingredients that are dependent on each type of bonbon.
The collection itself is made up of 15 true artisan quality chocolates designed by an exceptional pastry chef, Norman Love. The pieces in the collection are simply exquisite and the flavors all too die for.
5. Richart: Richart
Cost: $120 per pound
The Richart chocolate tradition originated in Lyon, France and has been on the market 1925. Today they operate more than a dozen boutiques across Europe and also in the U.S. and Tokyo. Richart�s range is vast. The first time you indulge in Richart chocolates, you probably won�t know where to begin. If it�s one of Richart�s special occasion assortments, you�ll find the petits (chocolates) hidden beneath an inscribed chocolate plaque. In the case of the Envol ballotin, you�ll be faced with some 49 luscious cubes decorated with hand-applied cocoa butter designs. Each is a small, but unique, work of art, pleasing to both eye and palate.
6. Pierre Marcolini Pierre-Marcolini
Cost: $102.50 per pound
While there are certainly many chocolatiers that have gained a claim to fame in Europe, few of these artisans have made their presence felt in North America like Pierre Marcolini. When a chocolate gets a spot on Oprah, it�s a pretty good indicator that the brand is destined to a quick rise to the top of the American market. Still, Pierre owes much of his success to his strong European origins and presence, which continue to garner him the most success. Like many artisans, Pierre Marcolini runs a bean-to-bar operation, controlling every step of the production process and infusing subtle differences in each variety that rolls out the door and into the hands of happy customers.
Pierre Marcolini is still building on his success and is constantly perfecting his art. Unlike some chocolatiers who keep a fairly small product line, Marcolini feels that each customer has his own unique taste and offers one of the widest varieties of flavors on the luxury market today.
7. Debauve & Gallais Debauve & Gallais
Cost: $94 per pound
Debauve & Gallais traditionally makes chocolates that are low in sugar and high in premium quality cocoa. They do not use soy lecithin or any type of emulsifier to make their chocolate. Their ingredients include Piedmont hazelnuts, Perigord nuts, Turkish raisins, Spanish almonds, Turin chestnuts and Antilles rum. There are no dyes, preservatives or other additives ever used in Debauve & Gallais chocolate as recipes do not permit chefs to do so.
8. Chuao Chuao
Cost: $79 per pound
Chuao Chocolatier is named after the cacao-producing region of Chuao, Venezuela and the brand uses European techniques to make their Venezuelan chocolate. The freshest ingredients are used, and absolutely no preservatives are permitted in these handmade chocolates.
The brand was started by Venezuela natives Michael and Richard Antonorsi, who came from a family of cacao growers. It was only natural for them to take on the family business. After moving to California, the two brothers launched Chuao Chocolatier in 2002, naming it for their native country�s most famous chocolate-producing region.
When you taste Chuao chocolate, you taste real chocolate. Chuao Chocolatier prides itself on creating artisanal confections that blend Venezuelan-sourced cacao with unique spices and other natural ingredients. As if you needed an excuse to indulge your sweet tooth.
9. Richard Donnelly Richard Donnelly
Cost: $75 per pound
Richard Donnelly began making chocolate in 1988 after studying with a number of master chocolatiers in Paris and Brussels. His chocolates are handmade from the finest French and Belgian couvertures. He focuses on creating simple, sophisticated flavors and is planning to create chocolate flavors based on the best-selling chocolate bars in the U.S.
Donnelly is most popular for his obsession with flavor. In a California resort town, in a shop that is not fancy, he produces bars and chocolates that have won accolades and awards for their imaginative texture and taste.
10. Vosges Haut Chocolat Vosges Haut Chocolat
Cost: $69 per pound
Vosge has several signature and admirable flavors, including Naga, which is a milk chocolate with Sweet Indian Curry and coconut and Black Pearl, which is a dark chocolate with ginger and wasabi to name a few. There are also flavors like Finnochio, which is a chocolate made with wild fennel pollen and dark chocolate, and Balsamico, which includes dark chocolate, a ten-year aged modena balsamic vinegar and Sicilian hazelnuts.
I would highly recommend his Bacon Chocolate Collection. This is the most luxuriant bacon and chocolate experiences you will hand and you will definitely want more when you are finished with your first try. The ingredients are deep and dark milk chocolate bacon truffles made with fresh organic cream and topped with either hickory smoked bacon pieces of Valrhona cocoa powder. �The bacon rebellion continues.�
I am so happy about this, and I have worked really hard for it!
I started on January 5th at 151.6 pounds, and this week I weigh 142.2 pounds. That is 10.4 pounds in 10.5 weeks.
THANK YOU, SPARKPEOPLE! I could not have done this without you.
I love the support I get from my Sparks Friends. I love the food-tracker; I love the fitness tracker; I love my teams; and ---
After only 9 weeks, and 9 pounds, I can really tell the difference in my body. I am slimming down through the middle; AND the backside and "thunder thighs" are definitely shrinking.
What has worked for me are:
(1) the treadmill-- 3.5 miles a day most days at 2 mph;
(2) tracking everything single thing that goes in my mouth to avoid mindless eating. I am usually within my 1200 to 1500 calories per day, and I check the chart at the end of the day, while calories are still in reserve, to see if I need to add carbs, fats, or protein.
(3) 8 or 9 glasses of water per day--It really helps! Believe it, folks! Water has some magic, catalytic property that gets the weight off!
(4) Signing in at sparkpeople.com every day (actually several times a day) to enter my food and fitness, sign in with my teams, and read other pages/blogs.
Coming back to sp.com is so reinforcing! Great resources, great info., lots of inspiration. And gotta get those spark points.
And, to be honest, that is 9.4 pounds gone in 9.5 weeks! YES!!!!
THANK YOU, SPARKPEOPLE.COM! I have always been a weight-conscious person, and this is the first time I have found all the tools I need, all in one place, to get the weight off, and keep it off. I'm here for life!
I must share the message I just sent to our 10K Steps a Day team leader:
Guess how many steps I did today!??? So far, 10063, and it 's not quite bedtime yet!
This amazing breakthrough occurred after I saw a recommendation on Sparks for breaking fitness into 15 minute intervals. So, instead of trying to do the one or two miles on the treadmill all at once, I broke it into 15 intervals. In between, I did other things around the house that were on my "to do" list!
It made it so easy to get the 10,000 steps! My titanium hip did not start hurting because it got that rest in between sessions. I did not get bored, wondering "how much longer do I have to do this?" And I found I was looking forward to the next "session" and getting back on the treadmill.
Hallelujah! Joy! At last I have broken through the fitness performance barrier!
Since joining the site/team on January 5th, this is the FIRST TIME I have gotten my 10,000 steps for the day!
Recently, I got a used treadmill from a thrift store for $15! I love it so much I now want to buy a new one. The one I have is a Pro-Form Crosswalk, but I checked the model and serial number, and it is a 1991-1992 model! My only complaint with it is that it is rather noisy, and since it is in my house, I would like a quieter model.
Here are my specks: I will be using it for walking, not running; I presently weigh 146 pounds; my stride length is 22". I don't really care if it folds or not, as I probably will not be folding it.
I will using it for 3 to 4 miles per day at the most. I do not want an incline feature!
I would like quietness and durability.
Thanks for any recommendations you can make!

Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working
Windows 7 Home Premium keeps giving me the above message.
I've run sfc/scannow and that advised me "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them".
I had a look at cbs.logs and the files that could not be repaired are three files much the same as this;
Cannot repair member file [l:22{11}]"PINTLGB.IMD" of Microsoft-Windows-IME-Simplified-Chinese-Core, Version = 6.1.7601.17514, pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_AMD64 (9), Culture neutral, VersionScope = 1 nonSxS, PublicKeyToken = {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}, Type neutral, TypeName neutral, PublicKey neutral in the store, hash mismatch

Does anybody have the faintest idea what any of that means and how I can resolve this issue?
I dare say I can survive without having Chinese on my laptop and any help would be gratefully received.

Windows Home Premium x64
I' ve the same problem. Since afew weeks my Windows Explorer started crashing regularly. Now it crashes always when I log in to my account on Windows.
I've done the same sfc /scannow and have the same log.
Does anyone know how to repair this corrupted file?
|My System Specs
|07 Oct 2011
In my case the error was caused because I had deleted a load of games that came pre-installed on my new ASUS laptop. I had used Revo Uninstaller Pro to get rid of them and it seems that in amongst all the deleted files were some I needed to keep in order for Windows Explorer to function correctly.
A System Restore fixed the problem. (Admittedly I now have all the ASUS games back but they don't take up much space and I really haven't got the time - or patience - to go through each one individually to see exactly which deleted file caused the error message and crash).
If you know exactly when you first got the "Explorer has stopped working" message I'd do a system restore to just before that time.
I usually find that if something worked fine yesterday and doesn't today the problem is with something I've done, (an installation, a deletion, a download, etc.), in the intervening period.
Hope you get it sorted out, I know how annoying it is.

Prep Time:
Cook Time:
10 mins
40 mins
It was pouring rain today and cold; perfect soup weather, but not having a full pantry this is what i came up with using leftovers from Easter. Most of the ingredients were already cut and sausage was cooked. (bagged cut carrots from the grocery store) Also having my toddler daughter literally clinging to me all day it had to be super quick and simple. This is a very thrown together recipe and im sure could use improvements and / or changes but for as simple as it was it tasted very good to me. prep time doesnt include cooking the sausage.

Placerville California Live Weather Center
Live Panel Footnotes with Location & Forecast Info
1 Rain season: July 1st to June 31st. 2 When there is measurable rainfall for the day, 3 different data fields appear, the average hourly rainfall rate (Rate /hr), the average hourly rainfall rate high for the day (Rate High /hr) and the total rainfall for the storm (Storm Rain). Otherwise precipitation for the last 7 days, the highest rainfall day on record & number of days since the last precipitation are used. Day record is the most rainfall amount on any 24 hour day at the station since 6/22/2014.). 3 Air Quality Index is provided by Minnesota Polution Control Agency and is updated hourly between the hours of 6AM and Midnight. 4 Solar Index represents either an absolute scale of solar energy (W/m²) using the station's recorded maximum or a percentage of computed theoretical solar maximum using the station's location and time of day. These indices differ most when the sun is low on the horizon. The current scale is shown, and will toggle if it or the icon is clicked. 5 Beaufort wind force number and Beaufort scale in text). 6 Estimated amount of water needed to replace the water used by plants and evaporation from the past week. (Negative numbers mean amount of water needed, positive numbers mean excess water is present).
Placerville Location & Forecast Information: This weather station is located at 1,703 ft, about 1 mile SE of highway 50 and El Dorado Rd. We have been providing Placerville, CA with online weather data since June of 2006. This is one of our original web pages from our birth back in 2006. This page has seen many upgrades over the years. We have grown since then to around 100,000 weather related web pages.
Temperatures for this Lower Placerville location can sometimes vary a bit from Downtown Placerville by a few degrees, particularly during heatwaves in the summer. The downtown Placerville forecast as seen below is for the downtown Placerville area near the 1,850 ft. elevation. If you live in downtown Placerville or near the 1,850 foot elevation, use the forecast seen on this page or click HERE. For the lower Placerville elevations use the forecast found HERE. For the higher Placerville locations use the forecast found HERE. The Placerville area is very hilly and has 11 different micro climates and spans in elevation from about 1600 feet to about 2.600 feet.
Data Measurement Information: As with many locations in the foothills, trees can be a factor in the mornings and later in the afternoon for measurements such as Wind, Solar & UV. Particularly in the cold season when the sun is low on the horizon. Our anemometer is 26 feet high, but still wind runs a few mph lower than normal in a couple directions where trees are present, which is accurately adjusted for. Our station data records go back to June 22, 2006, 8 years of Placerville data as of this writing. Normals & Records are based on downtown Placerville historic records dating back decades, not on this stations data. We do however use our own historic station data in many other instances.

Best of luck?

6 Responses to "How to get The Best NYC Marriage Counseling"
Preferably a woman.
My husband and I are reconciling after a 4 month separation and have a hit a bump. We are in marriage counseling. There was an affair on his end. I had a hard time letting go and trusting. He is in AA, sober for 5 years and has stopped going to meetings or conversing with his sponsor. He says it's because he wants me to trust him. The woman he had an affair with he met at AA. My only condition was that he not go to meetings she is at. I felt that was too much temptation. So he just stopped going. I never wanted that. I didn't think it was a good idea. Now he's in some funk. He says he isn't sure what he wants. That he's miserable and may want to leave again. He needs space (he doesn't want to leave yet).
Until this abrupt change he was willing to work on our marriage. He was trying to save it. He was reassuring and said its me and always was me that he wanted. That he would spend the rest of my life proving that. Then BAM. He's uncertain. I hounded him. Yes. I know this was bad. I regret it. I know this probably pushed him away. He doesn't want intimacy because "what if he leaves, can I handle that". For a few days he said anyway. He said he needs to clear his head by going to meetings and see where he's at and that when he knows what he's feeling he will let me know.
My question is, what can I do? Just act as if everything is fine. He says he DOES love me. He just doesn't know what he wants and isn't sure if it's just his funk or not. So any advice will really help me. I know we won't be intimate, he said so. But this morning he cuddled. So I know there's something right? Should I just back off and wait for the fog to clear or should I panic that he might leave? I am afraid he will. We haven't been back together for long and except for my ranting and raving about "her" I can't see where else I went wrong.
Men… what should I do? And should I worry? And is this common? And if I need to light the spark he thinks he lost (I don't think he did) how can I do that? We are great together except when I freaked out about the affair. I know I need to get over it. I am trying and will back off about it. I will trust him because he needs these meetings, I never wanted him to stop altogether. I don't know why he did. Please help. Any advice will be appreciated.
At the suggestion of our counselor I will be staying at my sister's upstate for the weekend. Maybe we need a break from the stress. Does this sound reasonable?
I want to add that he was trying and he was willing until one day he just didn't. He put in every effort to save our marriage with me. My anger pushed him away. I didn't want that. And we were both happy and enjoying each other until I went to far and told him to go f— his girlfriend one too many times. To me, that is not really trying on MY part. I agreed to accept it and work on it. He agreed to stay away from her and commit to me. I broke that promise with hounding texts and badgering about f—ing her every chance I got. Not fair.

Additional Details
Want to state, I never wanted him to stop going to meetings. I know he needs them and have always 100% supported it. There are over 20 meetings per day in NYC he does not need to go to ones she attends. He agrees. But was afraid I would still think she was there. I would not unless I had reason to. I do want him there and I do want him in contact with his sponsor. I never asked him to stop going and I never said he needed to stop going. I understand the needs for support to an addict and fully support them.
Me & my soon to be husband want to get married and we are looking at a little less then a year in a half. It's important we get married in a Catholic Church. We are both baptized and i think that's it. What else do we need? Also my fiance is from Mexico does he have to get baptized in the U.S. ?
'I'll tell you what you did to gays for about 1500 years; you outlawed them from universities or any teaching careers, besmirched their reputations on false charges, banned their books or their writings, humiliated them, seized their property, arrested them for blasphemy against your mythological deities, dehumanized them with beatings and exquisite tortures, made their families hate them, gouged their eyes out, slit their tongues, stretched crushed or broke their limbs, tore off their breasts and charged them with witchcraft if they were women, crushed their scrotums if they were men, imprisoned them, kicked them out of the military, stabbed and disemboweled them, hung them and burnt them alive. And you have the nerve to ask why they complain and laugh about you and your lost mythological religions?' – Dr. Madalyn M. O'Hair
From my earliest childhood memories, long before I knew they words 'gay' and 'homosexual', I was attracted to boys my own age. I have memories back to when I was as young as 2 years old and when I was only 4 years old I began to experiment with this. As I got into my teenage years, I had this deep dark secret and I thought I was the only one. It wasn't until I was 14 or 15 when an English teacher showed the class a film of gays marching for their rights in NYC that I realized I was not alone. I was so happy to know that I did not have to live my life alone. You can never convince me that I was not born this way.
When I told my parents at 15 they sent me to their religious leader for counseling. He told me it was okay to be gay as long as you pretended to be straight. He claimed religious men had been doing this for centuries. He told me I should get married, have a family and mess around with men behind my wives back. He told me (it was 1975) that lots of religious leaders were gay. Then he messed around with me in his office. When I told my parents about it they would not believe me and they packed up my things and told me to get out.
Throughout my life I have had to fight so hard for my rights to be who I am. In college history classes I learned about the Roman Emperor Constantine and how he had started the persecution of homosexuals in order to punish the Christian priests who would not add the Pagan idea of the trinity to the Bible. Before this time, many Christian religious leaders were openly gay.
I visited so very many friends in the hospital who had been abused in the streets by haters who had been taught to hate homosexuals at home. No baby is ever born hating anyone. They always learn that hate from their parents or environment. So after a lifetime of fighting and sometimes running to protect myself, I will always fight against organized religion.
It really bothers me that some gays have accepted the churches who will let them in. It is obvious that they only want gay money to line their pockets and now that churches are having so many financial difficulties, the religious leaders think that their con games will seem more modern if they welcome gays. But always remember that those churches send money to a central church that continues to fight against us and against gay marriage. Since churches are exempt from taxes and all of their donations are usually in the form of cash, it is very easy for them to extort money for their own personal gain. Religious leaders always retire with very healthy retirement accounts. They make sure the congregation pays for their retirement even before they pay church bills.
One day those churches who welcome gays will turn on them, it is only a matter of time. I will spend the rest of my life fighting against the tyranny of religion so do not come to me with your false promises of a good death. It is very clear to me that there is no such thing as God and that all gods are false and all religions are cults. As a citizen I will continue to support all lawmakers who work to separate church and state because I do not just believe in separation of church and state. I believe in separation of church and planet.
I will continue to expose religious leaders for the con artist, snake oil salesman that they are. So spare me your weak Biblical quotes or threats of burning in hell. Threatening an Atheist with hell is like when a child tells you that Santa will not bring you anything for Christmas. All gods are false and all religions are cults.
My husband and I started dating when I was a minor. He was 21 and I was 16. We met at a music festival for the first time and fell in love. He came from a wealthy family but was abandoned and homeless at the time because of substance abuse and not being able to stay out of trouble. He was very handsome and charming and I became a sucker for him. To make a long story short, he cheated on me and for months did things like make plans with his ex to get drinks and go watch women in thongs slithering like snakes on poles. I dumped him after I got some sense from seeing "watching strippers and listening to skrillex", on his FB status.
I moved to Nyc a few months after the split and I was coming back to my hometown for a visit and the same day I'm at the airport in Queens I see he added me on Fb. We decide to meet for lunch and things get out of hand, we end up hanging out everyday after that.
He asked me to marry him last fall and I said yes. Obviously both of us had false hope that marriage was going to make some things dissapear.Now I hold grudges and I suffer from severe anxiety so trust issues come into the story now. I always have flashbacks about things he's done to me. It does't stop. Ever. I could be on the toilet thinking about one of his facebook skanks and how he'd emotionally and sexually cheat in the past.. He's come back to me (when it comes to other women) as a new man. He won't even look at other women when we're out in public, he doesn't speak to other women anymore. NOW our problems are physical abuse (hair pulling, face spitting), my feelings from the past being repressed making me depressed, plus he's an alcoholic. Now this all sounds horrible I know but our good times is what fucks me up. I am madly in love with him and he knows perfectly how to switch from alcohol stained douche to curly, dark haired, and hazel eyed devoted sweetheart so I am going crazy.He wants to go to counseling and wants us both to take medication but Idk anymore. HELP.

Passionate love letters from The Rolling Stone's frontman Mick Jagger to a secret lover have sold at a Sotheby's auction for more than £180,000. The letters were to Marsha Hunt, an American singer and star of the London musical Hair who inspired the hit Brown Sugar, and were written during his time in Australia when filming Ned Kelly. Described by Sotheby's as "remarkable and articulate", the letters paint a picture of Jagger as a "poetic and self-aware" 25-year-old, capturing a "vivid moment in cultural history."

FORT WAYNE – Exelis, which has shed about 800 local jobs in just over three years, on Thursday announced plans to cut more.
A "For Sale" sign will be posted in front of the Exelis building at 1919 W. Cook Road on Monday. Company officials say they are shuffling some local workers but remain committed to keeping a substantial workforce in Fort Wayne for the long haul.
"A small number" of jobs will be lost before the reorganization is completed, said Kristin Jones, spokeswoman for Exelis's Geospatial Systems division.
The final number and timetable haven't been decided, she said.
The Geospatial Systems division employs about 470 in Fort Wayne, including contractors. The Night Vision and Communications Solutions division employs about 525 to 550 locally.
In addition, an estimated 200 local Exelis workers are on the "shared services" staff, which performs accounting, information technology, human resources and other services to the entire company, which is headquartered in McLean, Va.
The total – before the expected cuts – is now about 1,200.
That's a stark contrast to the workforce of more than 2,000 in December 2010.
On Nov. 1, 2011, ITT Corp. split into three separate companies, including ITT Exelis. The company, which now goes by Exelis, employed about 1,700 in Fort Wayne at the time.
Less than three weeks later, Exelis cut more than 200 local jobs, including 95 temporary positions. The company's local workforce has shrunk steadily since then. Officials have confirmed various job cuts but declined to give total employment numbers until Thursday.
The employer's fall 2011 job cuts were on top of about 360 at the ITT operation in December 2010.
Tim White, spokesman for the Night Vision and Communications Solutions division, said local employment totals have surged and receded in the shape of a bell curve.
The local workforce in 2002 was about the same size it is now, he said.
"We went up tremendously to support the war effort," he said. "This isn't like Wal-Mart or whatever. In any defense industry company, you're going to see a significant ebb and flow (in employment)."
About the whittled-down operation, White said, "A lot of these (cuts) have been eight, 10, 20 jobs at a time." The company doesn't announce job actions of that size, he said.
"If you're saying that we're significantly smaller than we were in 2010, that's right," White said.
Jones said more than 90 percent of workers now in the Geospatial Systems division will keep their jobs after officials review which tasks might be outsourced.
The Cook Road complex – actually three connected buildings – is owned by Exelis's Night Vision and Communications Solutions division, which makes Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio Systems, or SINCGARS.
The radios allow frontline troops to coordinate communications into a network rather than routing calls singly up the chain of command. The company has built more than 550,000 SINCGARS.
The defense contractor expanded its local workforce after receiving a multiyear, multibillion-dollar government contract for the radios during the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Company officials have said its workforce was destined to decline as the contract wound down.
Exelis is now pursuing and securing contracts outside the traditional military structure for a wider mix of products, White said.
The vast majority of Night Vision and Communications Solutions Division's employees are now working in a building at 7310 Innovation Blvd., about half a mile away from the Cook Road complex, which it owns.
Its sister division, Geospatial Systems, leases space in the complex.
The plan, Jones said, is to sell the Cook Road complex in stages, allowing a new owner to occupy two of the three buildings. The geospatial staff would remain in Building 1 through the end of 2016.
"We'll see what happens after that," Jones said. "The intent is to remain in Fort Wayne."

Tree Tops River Huts
A stone's throw from the park
What we say:
If looking for comfort close to the national park gates and the Sok River, it would be difficult to do better than Tree Tops. It actually has an entrance directly in to the Khao Sok parking lot, beyond the front gates of the park, so it's literally a stone's throw from the visitor centre. The resort is also situated directly next to the scenic Sok River in view of the Khao Sok mountains, so its location is optimal in more ways than one. Accommodation gets high marks as well. It's surprising they chose the word huts in their name as the rooms on offer here are big, comfortable, and constructed mostly of stone. They offer a few different types of stone cottages and the price varies on amenities. The cheaper wooden fan cottages are set back from the river but are spacious, bright and comfortable with a cheerful atmosphere. Stone cottages, some with air-con, fridge and TVs and other without, are larger and exceptionally clean and cool with some great porches perched directly over the river.

Field Arithmetic

more"Field Arithmetic" explores Diophantine fields through their absolute Galois groups. This largely self-contained treatment starts with techniques from algebraic geometry, number theory, and profinite groups. Graduate students can effectively learn generalizations of finite field ideas. We use Haar measure on the absolute Galois group to replace counting arguments. New Chebotarev density variants interpret diophantine properties. Here we have the only complete treatment of Galois stratifications, used by Denef and Loeser, et al, to study Chow motives of Diophantine statements. Progress from the first edition starts by characterizing the finite-field like P(seudo)A(lgebraically)C(losed) fields. We once believed PAC fields were rare. Now we know they include valuable Galois extensions of the rationals that present its absolute Galois group through known groups.PAC fields have projective absolute Galois group. Those that are Hilbertian are characterized by this group being pro-free. These last decade results are tools for studying fields by their relation to those with projective absolute group. less

Say happy birthday to Rhodie Value. The Omaha woman turns 104-years-old on Thursday.
Rhodie celebrated her birthday a day early at the Blondo Social Hall. She says she's lived an incredible life but never expected to live this long.
"Never, never thought I'd do it. Never thought it," she said. "And you know, I don't feel like it. I have very few aches and pains, and when I do I just push them aside and keep on going. And I am still cooking. I still go to the grocery store. So what else could you want for?"
Living long is in her blood. Rhodie's father lived to 100. She had an uncle who lived to 104 as well.
Her only advice: work hard at everything you do.

I'm not sure if these French-Canadians are very smart or very lucky or both. But they managed to escape harsh northern weather just before autumn unexpectedly transformed into winter. Early, very early.
As I write this blog, the temperature in Montreal is 26 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 3 Celsius. Look at that any way you like, Fahrenheit or Celsius. It's darned cold. On Thursday morning, snow showers are predicted. Of course, Canada is hardly alone in shivering through mid-November. We all know about the new polar vortex, which now seems to be called the "polar plunge" for some inexplicable reason. Before 2013, everyone simply referred to these events by another term, perfectly fine if less exotic: "winter storms." Maybe today's northerners feel better about the whole thing if they call their storms something that sounds unusually fearsome. I can almost see the t-shirts: "I survived the 2014 Polar Plunge!" Ah, but not South Florida's Quebecers. No, no, no. Many had nestled into their wintertime houses and condos and apartments before the plunge. That's especially true in my part of town. Dania Beach, Hollywood and environs - we have a high concentration of Quebecois snowbirds here. Just the other day, I took a stroll around my condo complex and spotted those telltale "Je me souviens" license plates everywhere. It seemed as if every third parking space had a Quebec car. As I said, these people are either very smart or very lucky. Or both. Right now the temp outside my condo is 61 degrees, high of 68 expected today. Chilly for us, summer for everyone else. Tomorrow our weather climbs back into the mid-70s, then soon into the 80s again. The Canadian exodus to Florida is likely to accelerate if this continues for long, with it all warm down here and all cold up there. I can imagine scores of parents and grandparents waving an early pre-holiday goodbye to their families before motoring south for the next six months. A whole bunch of kids may not have Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma around this December. But that's okay. By February, that same whole bunch of kids will pack their own bags and fly south for a week or two. It's nice to have parents and grandparents smart enough to live in South Florida, even if they're really only lucky.

Hairy hottie James cycles round to the Lads Next Door studio for this shoot, so he is wearing his lycra cycling shorts. Off comes the t-shirt and we can see his very hairy chest, as well as the outline of a fat uncut cock stretching the lycra. He gives us a peek inside them and we get to see his fat cock as he slides the foreskin back – and some pre-cum leaks out – this guy is excited! Then it's on the bed and up go the legs so we get to see his hairy arse too!

New Stadium Will Employ Thousands of Minnesota Construction WorkersPosted by on April 9, 2012 – 2:37 pm
With just several weeks remaining in the 2012 Legislative Session, discussions over a new stadium are continuing at the State Capitol. While much of the focus has been on the facility's public-private financing plan, Governor Mark Dayton and many legislators view the project as an opportunity to put thousands of unemployed construction workers back on the job. Currently Minnesota's construction industry is experiencing 20% unemployment, three times higher than the State's overall unemployment figure. Given that building the stadium will require nearly 4.3 million work hours with almost $300 million in wages for construction workers, we can have a immediate impact on the suffering industry while building this publicly-owned State asset.
Be sure to check out the stadium video the team released today, which includes interviews from various members of Mortenson Construction, builders of both Target Field and TCF Bank Stadium. For a more in-depth look at the jobs impact of a new stadium, take a look at the following numbers:
– 13,000 jobs, including 7,500 construction jobs (three-year construction period)
– Nearly 4.3 million work hours: According to Minnesota's Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED), unemployment in the construction trades industry is nearly 20%, three times higher than Minnesota's overall unemployment rate.
Jobs for Minnesotans: As was the case with Target Field, over 90% of the labor and subcontract value is
expected to go back to MInnesotans.
Provisions for women and minority-owned businesses: Project goals include agreements to contract with women and minority-owned businesses as well as small business contractors throughout the State.
Nearly $300 million in wages for construction workers: Fabrication and delivery of project materials will create separate, substantial number of jobs with living wages.
Minnesota benefits from putting construction workers back to work: During the construction period, the jobs supported by this project will generate roughly $10 million in income tax revenue for the State's General Fund and approximately $5 million for the State's Unemployment Insurance (UI) Fund.
Work can begin almost immediately: 900,000 work hours in the first year of construction.
New stadium has lasting effects on the State economy: State of Minnesota will collect $26 million annually from Vikings-related sales and income taxes in the first year of stadium operation, according to a study by Convention, Sports & Leisure. Tax revenue will grow to approximately $61 million per year by 2045.
3,400 on-going full and part-time jobs from operation of facility: Vikings game days currently support over 2,800 jobs.

Hartman: Wilfs Confident In Vikings Offseason PlanPosted by on April 9, 2012 – 7:08 am
Whether pursuing a stadium solution to keep the team in Minnesota for generations or acquiring players in an attempt to field a winning team, the Wilf ownership group has spared no expense since taking over the club in 2005. They've been aggressive-but-responsible stewards of the franchise, and they remain popular among the fan base because of that.
What's not necessarily been popular among the fan base, though, is the Vikings offseason approach. Coming off a 3-13 season, fans want to see instant improvement via the acquisition of big-name free agents that demand big-money contracts. Under the direction of GM Rick Spielman, however, the Vikings have taken a more calculated and long-term approach to rebuilding the team, choosing to build the foundation of the team through the draft while supplementing the roster via free agency.
And it's a strategy the Wilfs endorse.
"We're building through the draft and building in free agency in spots where it's needed," Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf told the Star Tribune's Sid Hartman. "But we want to do it the right way, and I think we're on that process. We're going to get ten draft picks coming up in a few weeks, and we're going to get a lot better through that."
The Vikings had 10 draft choices last year, and nine of those selections remain a part of the team. A similar success rate this year, including hits early in the draft with 6 selections in the first 4 rounds, will go a long way toward improving the roster.
While Spielman's approach is to lean on the draft as the main mechanism for acquiring talented players, Wilf told Hartman that the team is ready to write the check if the right free agent comes along.
"We're looking every day to get better, whatever opportunity will present itself," Wilf said. "We're not going to rule out anything, but we've got a process we're going through and we're going to do things in a way that's thought out with a plan, strategically, so we can be successful in the long term. If our general manager and our coach feel that a player is going to help us win, we will provide the resources to help us win, but we're going to do it the right way."
