LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Unbeknownst to many of her peers, 70-year-old Barbara Sainte-Hilaire, MTV's "senior" video game correspondent and star of the blog "Old Grandma Hardcore," is a sensation in video game circles.
A video gamer for three decades, the foul-mouthed granny who favors role-playing games and admittedly stinks at sports titles, says she indulges her habit for about 10 hours a day -- significantly more than her 23-year-old grandson, Timothy.
She has an extensive collection of game consoles that would turn many teenaged boys green with envy.While not all senior citizens possess Sainte-Hilaire's grit and gusto, many are discovering that video games are more than just entertainment. They reinforce what a variety of scientific studies suggest: that video games can help keep aging brains nimble, encourage social interaction and quicken reaction times.
According to the Entertainment Software Association, 25 percent of U.S. gamers are 50 and older -- the same group that is eligible to join the American Association of Retired Persons, whose own Web site (www.aarp.org) offers video games and articles about the benefits derived from playing them."

"SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) - Four prisoners in an El Salvador jail hid cellphones, a phone charger and spare chips in their bowels so they could coordinate crimes from their cells, prison officials said on Wednesday.
The four men, all gang members, wrapped their phones and accessories in plastic and inserted them into their rectums "far enough to reach their intestines," Ramon Arevalo, director of the maximum security Zacatecoluca prison, said.
Arevalo said the ruse was discovered during X-ray examinations following six weeks of investigations.
The men, members of the ultra-violent Mara Salvatrucha street gang and the first in El Salvador known to go to such lengths to make phone calls in jail, used the cellphones to manage robberies, blackmail and murders outside, Arevalo said."
GROSS!
