The Granny Porn
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
If there is still anyone out there that thinks a woman's libido dies when she hits menopause, then The Granny Pornis here to set you straight, so to speak. These ladies have a voracious appetite for sex and plan to fill their golden years with as much action as they can. Most of these old gals are in their 60s, so a younger man could still be a middle-aged guy, but many of the shoots who them with much younger men.
The GrannyPorn has 35 videos with good to great-quality playback. That's only five more than we found initially well over two and a half years ago, but current updates are listed as about once a week. I think the site actually had grown much bigger at one point and then they took some scenes down and are now adding them back. At any rate, every single scene is full of raunchy hardcore.
You'll see mature babes getting it on with the doctor, a coworker, the plumber and the gardener. Some of these old broads have regular young lovers that they hook up with, but others are simply geriatric cougars on the prowl. They seduce their neighbors' son or even one of their grandson's pals. After all, those quick to float boats of the young will dock in any port in a storm of youthful hormones.
My favorite scene shows an older wife and her similarly-aged hubby sharing two hot girls to spice their marriage up. They don't state the wife's age, but she looks about 40, while the other chicks look like teens. The husband definitely seems up to the challenge of pleasing three females at once and eventually shoots his load all over the trio.
You won't find any photos, so you can check only vid caps to preview the scenes. You can also read the write-ups and they make for some colorful reading that definitely tells you in rather explicit detail what to expect. I think the screenshots labeling each scene also will help, like the one showing a dick spurting its seed all over an old pussy whose lips are stretched open to receive the load.
You get 30 full-access bonus sites from the Overall Pass network, including Granny Funs, Plumpest Grannies, Granny Riders, Grandmas Hunters and Granny Tits Movies. Most of these other sites are not updating, but some of them have more existing content. The Granny Porn doesn't currently have enough content to make it that appealing to join, but at least they're adding scenes, even if they're not really new ones.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Serena Williams has been on the media merry-go-round of late appearing at an event for Gatorade G2 and sitting down for a "fatabulous" interview with ESPN's Jim Rome.
The top lady baller also had time to stop by the Ellen Degeneres Show yesterday to discuss all things ReRe - everything except for her on-again boyfriend Common. Not that the talk show host didn't try...

Summer Study Opportunities
The Centre for Buddhist Studies is pleased to announce that the 2016 summer studies program of intensive language training and Buddhist philosophy courses for international and local students is now open for application.
The 2016 language programs offer a full immersion into Tibetan, Sanskrit, and Nepali languages. The Buddhist Studies program provides a living exposure to Buddhist philosophy and a practical introduction to the richness of personal meditation training.
All summer programs are fully accredited by Kathmandu University.
the Great Stupa of Boudhanath
Classes are held within the Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling Monastery complex, just a few minutes' walk from the Great Stupa of Boudhanath in the Kathmandu Valley. Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling is one of Nepal's largest monasteries and houses more than 225 monks and lamas. The abbot of the monastery, Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche, is a renowned Buddhist teacher who leads seminars on meditation and Buddhist philosophy in Nepal and around the world.
The township of Boudhanath, a community with many Tibetan monasteries, has grown up around the Great Stupa which is said to house the relics of the previous Buddha, Mahakasyapa. The area is home to many revered teachers and is a pilgrimage point for many others. It is a major resettlement area for Tibetan Buddhists, and students of the Summer Studies program will have ample opportunity to learn about, and immerse themselves in, the local Nepalese and Tibetan culture.
Applications are accepted each year between October 1 - May 1. Late application is possible from May 1 until start of the program. (Note: a late application fee will apply.)
Courses subject to minimum enrollment.

Webcams give parents a new view of NICU babies
At 46 days old, Andrew Velasco has no idea what a star he has become, especially for his grandmother in Mexico.
"When I told my mom that she could see him on the Internet, she was so happy she was crying," said Sara Orejel, Andrew's mother.
Though the child is small, only two pounds five ounces at birth, he is having a big impact at Tri-City Medical Center . He's one of the first babies in the neonatal intensive care unit to live under the gaze of a new webcam system that allows family and friends to check him out around the clock.
The hospital's foundation collaborated with a charitable local donor to buy the system as a way of helping families deal with the stress of having a newborn in intensive care.
Tri-City Center is the first hospital in the county to install the webcams. It went live Dec. 3 on up to 25 isolettes using a system called NICVIEW , sending video to any Internet-connected computer, smartphone, tablet or other device.
For Andrew's parents, the system has been a revelation.
"The first time I tried it, I was just speechless," Orejel said. "It's a relief to be able to see him any time."
The hospital provides each set of parents with their own login and password for a secure server that allows them to connect only to the specific camera perched over their child's bed. Parents are free to share their login credentials with friends and family.
Since the system went live, it has recorded 460 hits, from 17 states, including from as far away as New Jersey and Arkansas, according to Tri-City.
Many of those have come from the Orejel and Velasco families.
"We have a big family, and we keep getting messages that he's looking good, he's growing so much," Orejel said.
Andrew's due date, his mother said, was Jan. 22. Because of his early delivery, he has remained in the NICU to gain weight before going home.
The system cost about $66,000 to install. Vista resident Hans Schiff donated $45,000 of the total, with additional money raised by Coleman Dentistry of Vista and the Tri-City Hospital Foundation.
Blake Rutherford, a representative for NICVIEW, said nine hospitals nationwide use the system, though 25 additional hospitals are testing it. Tri-City is one of only three in the state to go live. The other two are St. Jude in Fullerton and Parkview Community Hospital in Riverside.
Locally, Sharp Health Care is planning to install NICVIEW in its 84-bed neonatal intensive care unit starting in the first quarter of 2013. A spokesman said Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego is also interested.
There are some moments that are not visible to the viewing public. NICU manager Nancy Myers said nurses are allowed to block the camera with a blanket when they're working with a baby for medical procedures, which can range from changing a diaper to inserting an IV. She said nurses have quickly warmed to the notion of having an unknown group of parents and loved ones watching their patients at all times.
"There is never a time when somebody isn't watching, and usually it's several people at the same time. The nurses have shown an unbelievable amount of enthusiasm for this. They're writing little notes that say things like 'good morning, I had a great night,'" Myers said.
With 35 years in the business, Myers said she has always felt for families who find themselves in intensive care. She said she hoped the camera system would make that first trip away from the bedside easier for parents.

GOLD RIVER, Calif. - All three Washington State University boats advanced to the semifinals during the morning and afternoon sessions of the 2011 NCAA Rowing Championships Friday at the Sacramento State Aquatic Center on Lake Natoma.
During the morning session each of the first three teams from the three heats in each event moved on to Saturday's semifinals, while the other seven schools competed for three spots in the semifinals in the Repechage heats beginning in the afternoon. The other four teams from the Repechage will move on to the Third Final (places 13-16) Sunday.
WSU's varsity eight and varsity four boats advanced to the semifinals in the morning as each placed third in its respective heat during the first session. The second varsity eight boat needed the Repechage heat in the afternoon to advance to the semifinals.
In the morning the Cougar varsity eight (coxswain Lexi Ryman, stroke Sarah Wolff, Hannah deVos, Allie Reilly, Corinna Sharick, Christina Kinck, Crystal Martin, Lisa Roman, Annie Eastwood) came on strong in the final 1,000 meters to finish third in the third heat with a time of 6:33.68. The Cougars trailed just Stanford in first and USC in second with times of 6:23.67 and 6:28.86, respectively. WSU moves on to Saturday's varsity eight semifinals and will compete in lane five of the second heat at 9:15 a.m. Also reaching the semifinals in the morning were Princeton, Michigan State, Virginia, Brown, California and Yale.
Also during the morning, the WSU varsity four boat (coxswain Cayla Ravancho, stroke Rachel McNeil, Liz Beck, Kasia Rademacher, Liana DeMaris) placed third the second heat with a time of 7:30.00. The Cougars finished behind Wisconsin with a time of 7:20.60 and Washington at 7:23.57. WSU moves on to Saturday's varsity four semifinals and will compete out of lane five of the second heat beginning at 10:15 a.m. Also reaching the semifinals in the morning session were California, Ohio State and Princeton from the first heat and Virginia, USC and Stanford from the third heat. The Pac-10 was the only conference to advance all of its varsity four boats to the semifinals during the Friday morning session.
In the second varsity eight race in the morning, the Cougars (coxswain Emily Boquet, stroke Natasha Ostopovich, Liz England, Stephanie Hinkle, Justine Galbraith, Mollie McCabe, Alison Smith, Sarah Powell, Carly Johnson) finished fourth in the third heat with a time of 6:47.39, moving on to the Repechage heat Friday afternoon to try and earn a spot in the semifinals.
In that heat drama prevailed, as Washington State appeared to advance to the semifinals with a third place finish and a time of 6:59.70. A photo finish was needed as Michigan won the heat with a time of 6:59.31, while California, who was relegated to the Repechage heat after a boat weighing issue in the morning, placed second with a time of 6:59.48. After the race, the same issue came about as WSU's boat came in underweight. With similar problems in the Division II races on the day, the NCAA Division I Rowing Committee concluded it was not comfortable with the integrity of the scales and adjusted the heats, returning Washington State to the semifinals. With that decision made, California was then seeded in the semis based on its original time from the morning session, and the semifinal field expanded to 13 teams with Yale, which placed fourth behind WSU in the Repechage, added to the mix.
The Cougars will race out of lane six of the second heat of the semifinals Saturday at 9:45 a.m. The Cougars will be joined in the heat by California, Stanford, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Washington and Yale. Brown, Virginia, USC, Princeton, Michigan and Michigan State will compete in the first heat at 9:30 a.m.
All three Cougar boats take to the water Saturday with a shot at Sunday's Grand Final. Live results all weekend can be found here.

Mexicans Invent Presas Dog, Do Good Work for the Lord
President Mitt Romney is not even in office, yet we see the Mexicans are already working harder so that they can get some nice outsourced jobs come 2013. Mexican scientists today announced the advent of a new dog, called the Mexican Presas Canario, or Presas Dog here in America.
The dog is part American pit bull, part Spanish goldeen and part English bull dog. The blending of these three noble species has actually created a dog with the concept of 'self' and the big feature of this fine animal is that it has the ability to sit on its knees and pray with you. Yes, this Mexican presas dog can actually be taught the power of prayer. How awesome is that?
I would like to give the Mexican genetic scientists who created this dog a 'job well done'. Here's a catchy video with a little jingle jangle to get you all juiced to buy one.

- Fascinated

FREED: A South Carolina pastor, convicted in April of bringing ammunition into Russia, was released June 24 after spending nearly five months in a Russian prison. The release of Christ Community Church pastor Phillip H. Miles came a day after the Moscow City Court reduced his sentence. The 58-year-old had been held since Feb. 3 when authorities detained him after Miles didn't declare ammunition to customs officials ("Crime and punishment," May 3/10, 2008). Miles, who has led mission trips to Siberia every January for 13 years, said despite his ordeal he hopes to continue ministering to the country: "The Lord willing, I'll be back."
RETIRED: After 33 years at the helm of the world's largest software company, Bill Gates bid adieu to Microsoft on June 27. His retirement marks the culmination of a carefully charted course that began four years ago when Gates began contemplating a greater role at his Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation-the world's richest philanthropic institution with a $37.3 billion endowment. Although Gates, 52, will remain chairman of Microsoft's board of directors, in September he will turn his attention to full-time philanthropy.
RETIRING: Washington Post executive editor Leonard Downie announced June 23 his retirement from the same newsroom where he began 44 years ago, as an intern in 1964. Downie supervised much of the Post's Watergate coverage, and during his tenure as executive editor the paper won 25 Pulitzer Prizes. He was one of few people to know the identity of Deep Throat before FBI agent Mark Felt disclosed himself in 2005. Downie told colleagues his exit will make way for a new editor who can lead the newspaper into the digital age.
ARRESTED: Iranian police arrested and tortured a newly converted Christian couple last month because they were holding Bible studies and attending a house church. Makan Arya, 31, and his 28-year-old wife, Tina Rad, were seized from their Tehran home June 3 and forced to leave their ill, 4-year-old daughter unattended. The couple was held for four days before being released on bail. Authorities warned the couple that if they return to their house church or have contact with other Christians, they will lose custody of their daughter and "be punished by the law of Islam."
DIED: Stand-up comedian George Carlin, whose 50 years in show business were characterized by edgy and often profane humor, died June 22. The 71-year-old was perhaps best known for his "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" routine, which sparked a Supreme Court ruling that shaped decency policies for television and radio.

Founding father of modern techno
Famed initially for his DJ pseudonym The Wizard on Detroit's WLBF station, Mills is credited as one of the founding fathers of the modern day techno sound through his partnership with 'Mad' Mike Banks in creating the legendary Underground Resistance label. This label exuded individuality and emotion and galvanized a generation into feeling the power of electronic music. He went on to start his own Axis imprint, generating incredible worldwide success and spawning offshoots like the dancefloor friendly Purpose Maker label. And all the while he has DJ'd over the world, topping the bill at every electronic event imaginable, showcasing a simply unmistakable thunderous sound and an instinctive quick-fire DJ style.

Fantastic Flemish Fables
LILLE—"Fables of Flemish Landscapes" at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Lille is the keystone show of the Lille 3000 arts festival, which opened last Saturday and continues, with scores of exhibits, events and pop-up happenings, until Jan. 13. The festival's theme is "Fantastic," and nothing could better fit that bill than the imaginary landscapes that were the stock-in-trade of many late 15th- to early 17th-century Flemish artists, notably Bosch and the Bruegel family.
The layout of the superb show is a labyrinth, a circle within a square, with curving partitions leading hither and yon—a perfect setting for 100 surreal paintings and watercolors that depict a curious mix of nature's mysteries, medieval legends, ancient Greek and Roman myths, popular superstitions, Biblical tales and the lives of Christian saints. Favorite subjects recur often: Icarus, Orpheus, Noah's Ark, Job, Jonah (by artists who clearly had never seen a whale), St. Christopher, and especially St. Jerome and St. Anthony, whose visions of diabolic temptations and the tortures of the damned offered splendid opportunities for unbridled flights of fancy.
The subjects are often mere excuses, set in fantasy landscapes and harder to find than Waldo—a minuscule Icarus like a tiny bird in a pale blue sky above a sprawling view of mountains, sea and schooners in a painting formerly attributed to Pieter Breugel the Elder (attributions can be slippery for this era); or a small figure scattering seeds lost in the corner of sumptuous "Landscape with the Parable of the Sower" (1557, atelier of Breugel the Elder and Jacob Grimmer).
The towering figure in the early Flemish fantasy-landscape world was Hieronymus Bosch (Jérôme in French), whose minutely detailed, brilliantly painted, wildly inventive, anthropomorphic and zoomorphic, often hideously hybrid creatures are an endless source of delight. Nine paintings by Bosch (or his atelier and followers), including two triptychs, all deserve close attention, possibly with a magnifying glass.
Along with the stuff of nightmares, there are also sweet dreamscapes portraying the beauties of nature, including Jan Breughel the Elder's idyllic allegories of Earth, Water, Air and Fire (1606-11). But the demons are more fun.
Until Jan. 14

Telecom Lead Asia: Vodafone India has priced 500MB data schemes at Rs 25 for 2G and Rs 49 for 3G.
Available for both postpaid and prepaid mobile customer across the country, the One Time Trial Pack is available with a validity of 7 days and has a limit of 500MB.
The company's new scheme is significant as Vodafone India seeks to improve growth in data business. The telecom service provider reported 23.8 percent growth in data revenue to £94 million in Q3 2012-13 against £83 million in the same period previous fiscal. This growth was driven by an increase in customers taking data bundles and an increase in 2G data pricing.
At 31 December 2012, Vodafone India's active data customers reached 33.1 million, including 2.5 million 3G subscribers. The company will be in a position to increase 3G user base due to the new schemes.
During the third quarter, the telecom operator's service revenue increased by 9 percent, driven by strong growth in mobile voice minutes.
Vodafone India, which is promoting its mobile broadband schemes, says its objective is to drive mobile internet adoption among non-internet users in India. Vodafone has around 147 million customers across the country.
Vivek Mathur, chief commercial officer, Vodafone, said: "We have introduced a new category of trial packs to make mobile internet more interesting, less intimidating for them. We see potential in this offer as non-users will be able to discover the benefits of mobile internet and how it can change their lives."
These trial packs are customized to suit the internet usage pattern and handset types of different customers. For example, if a customer is a 2G mobile internet user and has a 3G handset, he/she will be offered a 3G internet trial pack.
This offer is not available on Paper / E-Top Up. In case a pre-paid customer has already subscribed for internet, this pack will overwrite the current internet pack. In case of postpaid customer, the trial pack would be additive and customer would go back to the current internet pack subscribed if any.

Mancini case should revive death debate
When 93-year-old and terminally ill Joseph Yourshaw of Pottsville asked his daughter to hand him a bottle of legally prescribed liquid morphine on Feb. 7, he swallowed more than the prescribed amount and likely hastened his own death.
A home hospice nurse found him, unresponsive, and phoned 911. He died four days later in a hospital where, incidentally, he also had been administered morphine to deal with his pain connected to advanced diabetes, heart and kidney disease, and severe arthritis.
Mr. Yourshaw's daughter, 57-year-old Barbara Mancini of Philadelphia, also a nurse, was charged by local police with assisting a suicide. The case has been handed off for prosecution to the office of state Attorney General Kathleen Kane due to a conflict of interest in the county prosecutor's office.
Last week, a Schuylkill County judge held the charge for trial and slapped a gag order on all of the parties involved, even though the case should produce vigorous debate about the quality of life, the rights of people to steer their own fate and Pennsylvania law relative to both.
Ms. Kane, who drew praise and condemnation recently when she decided not to defend the state's anti-gay-marriage law on grounds that she believes it to be unconstitutional, has not exercised similar discretion in this case. She should think about it.
Pottsville police contend that, when they responded to the hospice nurse's 911 call, Ms. Mancini told them Mr. Yourshaw had asked for the morphine to end his life. She since has said, however, that she did not control the dosage and had no intention of hastening her father's death.
If convicted, she could face up to 10 years in prison.
Legally and practically, there are many issues in the case itself. Mr. Yourshaw rebounded and lived four days before he died. And the U.S. Supreme Court has found that a terminally ill person in severe pain may take as much pain-relieving medicine as he chooses, even if it hastens death. Mr. Yourshaw's widow - Ms. Mancini's mother - spoke in her daughter's defense prior to the gag order.
The truth, of course, is that families quietly engage in gut-wrenching decisions about dying loved ones' care every day in hospitals and homes across the commonwealth and nation - privately. Regardless of the case's outcome, the state Legislature should make it a catalyst for a renewed debate on the state's appropriate role.

There is no gloating to be done by Ohio State fans today. Alabama might be in trouble for having players involved with a memorabilia scandal and now the University of Miami potentially in big trouble with a rogue Ponzi scheming booster, but these two situations – and any others that might arise – don't absolve anyone or anything at Ohio State. Sure, it might add some perspective to the things Ohio State and its players were involved with, but it will hopefully be good for everyone in the end. Ohio State fans (this one included) largely sounded like babies when they said, "Oh come on! You know everyone is doing exactly the same stuff. The NCAA is a broken system." That's the pain of being the first domino to fall.
Some will want to point at everyone else and say how much worse someone else's violations were, but that ignores the larger point. The NCAA has a system where the goals and benefits are so apparently misaligned that rule-breaking has become the norm, not the exception. You can blame the players. You can blame the boosters. You can blame the NCAA and the schools. At the end of it all, if this many big programs can't figure out how to create an environment where players aren't doing the wrong things, then it is the whole system.
Many Ohio State fans were trying to say that very thing when tattoo-gate broke and as Jim Tressel was holding press conferences and ultimately stepping down. I am sure some Alabama fans and Miami fans were thinking it was a cop out for Ohio State fans to point the finger at the system only when they were under the spotlight.
Come to think of it, I bet Ohio State fans said the same thing about USC fans when they were going through the Reggie Bush / Heisman affair. I know I was. I was trying to delineate between recruiting violations and violations of players seeking out extra benefits after signing with a program. While I still think there is a difference between the violations, I am ready to admit that trying to pretend like this isn't all indicative of problems in the same overall ecosystem is problematic.
I don't have any solutions. There are many people who claim to have them. Mark Cuban has proposed alternatives to the BCS, so I know there are people with far more resources who have already spent far more time thinking about it than I have. I guess I just hope that as more and more programs are "exposed" we end up with some perspective on the realities of college sports and admit the truth about what is going on. The only way to come to some kind of solution or conclusion is to first admit there is a pervasive problem as opposed to isolated incidents.

WHEELING - Scoreless in the first half, Cincinnati Archbishop McNicholas guard Danny Byrne drained five of seven shots from behind the 3-point arc during the third and fourth quarters in fueling the Rockets past Wheeling Central, 56-42, Saturday night at Wheeling Jesuit University's Alma Grace McDonough Center.
The victory in the boys' championship game of the Upper Ohio Valley Basketball Tournament enabled the Ohio Division II school to head home with a plus-.500 record on the season at 5-4. Coach Mel Stephens' Maroon Knights ended the 2012 portion of their schedule at 2-4.
With both teams playing lock down defense, the opportunities inside were few and far between and resulted in a low-scoring half-court battle that wasn't decided until Byrne got the hot hand.
The eight-point average scorer entering Saturday night's game, Byrne swished a follow shot for his first points of the game to tie the score at 24-24 midway through the third quarter. Central then gained the lead for the final time when David Park connected on a runner only to see the Rockets erupt with seven straight points.
Austin Ernst got inside for a layup, followed by a Mark Hoke theft of the inbounds pass for a short leaner and Byrne's long-distance triple that put McNicholas ahead 31-26. Park's baseline floater and Sean Byrne's dish to Richie Day closed the third quarter with the Maroon Knights trailing 33-28.
Another Park runner at the outset of the fourth quarter cut the deficit to three, but Danny Byrne then connected on the first of his four straight 3-point shots for a six-point edge. Sean Bryne's conventional 3-point play on a stickback and free throw at the five-minute mark extended the lead to 39-31. Park, who led the Central scoring with 16 points, meshed his only triple of the evening in cutting the deficit to five.
However, before the Maroon Knights' fans could celebrate that basket, Danny Byrne nailed a rainbow trifecta from the top of the circle. Jacob Bradley's two free throws gave McNicholas its first 10-point advantage and Danny Byrne stuck another dagger in Central's heart with his final three pointer at the 3:20 mark. The Maroon Knights were unable to cut their deficit below 10 the rest of the way.
"In the first half, I thought we competed with them and played really well," Stephens said. ''We threw a little bit of zone that didn't confuse them but slowed them down some. They are a very deliberate team anyway and we felt the game was going to be in the 50's or lower. We just didn't make enough shots to stay with them."
Limiting the Rockets to virtually zero dribble penetration the first half, Central stayed within 11-7 after the first quarter and then trailed by just 17-16 at halftime.
''Our game plan was to try and force them into taking perimeter shots and our kids rebounding the basketball without giving them any second chances. We did a good job of that but we ran out of gas a little bit in the fourth quarter when they started knocking down some shots and getting a few runouts," Stephens said.
Following Park's 16 points in the Central offense was senior Brandon Wallace with 10 points. All three of the Maroon Knights' bigs had solid games for the second night in a row. Chance Siebieda scored five points and pulled down eight rebounds, while Alonzo Manns came off the bench and scored five points in the opening half.
''I thought 'Zo' gave us a lift in the second quarter and Brandon Wallace has been solid," Stephens said. ''On offense, we need to start getting into something where we can get the ball inside to them."
Danny Byrne's 17 points and 12 tallies from Day paced the McNicholas offense. The Rockets shot just under 50 percent from the floor with a 20 of 43 performance. Central managed just 37 shots, hitting 17.

Oils, yes; carbohydrate, not really. Take a look at figures 11-13 here http://www.cnpp.usda.gov/Publication...y1909-2000.pdf (I think they are not correcting for spoilage and waste, because absolute numbers look very high, but the relative structure should be correct.)Quote:
Originally Posted by Sixty Fiver
Per capita carbohydrate in 1965 was substantially down compared to 1910, both in absolute numbers and as a percentage of diet. The biggest change with regard to carbohydrates was the reduction in grains. In 1900 the diet was primarily grain-based. 57% of calories as carbohydrates, 39% of calories from grains, 30 grams of fiber per day. By 1965 grain consumption was basically cut in half, fiber fell to 20 g/day, fat and sweeteners went up 20%. For 2000 they have 50% of calories as carbohydrates and 24% of calories from grains.
Since 1965 the story is basically about eating more and more of everything (absolute increases on the order of 20% in 30 years in almost every category.)
P.S. Do you know what common food item is the most expensive (as in, overpriced) in the United States, compared to the rest of the world? It's loaf bread. 100 years ago it was a dietary staple and it was selling close to cost. At some point people probably decided that it's too boring, and it turned into a specialty item with fat price margins. Compared to 100 years ago, wheat is substantially cheaper (adjusted for inflation), but bread is more expensive.
The U.S. has very efficient food industry and a lot of stuff is cheaper here than overseas. But bread costs $2+ per pound here and $0.30..$0.50 per pound in other, "less developed" countries.
One other food item that had a similar fate is potatoes. 100 years ago Americans were eating half a pound of baked/boiled potatoes per person, per day. Today, if we exclude chips and french fries, they eat only 1/4'th of that amount. Accordingly, as demand for potatoes fell, potatoes themselves got a lot more expensive. You used to be able to buy 10 pounds of potatoes for the price of a pound of bananas or half a dozen eggs. Today potatoes are more expensive than bananas.
Not 1.84, but I occasionally see them for 1.99 and they are almost always available around here for 2.49.Quote:
Boneless skinless chicken breasts are just 1.84lb??
Didn't think it was that cheap?

Bernanke's Bold Bailout Of The Banking Sector Has Also Hurt Specialty Retail & Employment, MBS Traders And Their Employer Banks
Bloomberg reports Jobless Claims in U.S. Rise for First Time in Five Weeks, as I ponder how all of those heretofore unemployed MBS traders that Bernanke tried to assist benefit the jobless claims number. As I explained last quarter, Bernanke's squandering of US resources for the benefit of the banking elite will have to be paid for by those who actually seek jobs in this country. The Bloomberg article is excerpted as follows:
The number of Americans filing first-time claims for unemployment insurance payments rose for the first time in five weeks, a sign further improvement in the labor market depends on faster economic growth.
Applications for jobless benefits increased by 17,000 to 361,000 in the week ended Dec. 15, Labor Department figures showed today. Economists forecast 360,000 claims, according to the Bloomberg survey median.
The figures signal the expansion probably needs to proceed more quickly to encourage companies to hold the line on headcounts and step up hiring while Congress debates the nation's budget and tax rates. The Federal Reserve said last week it intends to keep policy accommodative to invigorate the economy and help sustain a decline in joblessness.
"This number gets us back into the range we've been in really since the spring," said Omair Sharif, a U.S. economist at RBS Securities Inc. in Stamford, Connecticut, who forecast claims would rise to 360,000. "We're not waiting to see much more improvement on the layoff side. We're just waiting for the hiring side to get going."
ZeroHedge adds in as follows:
This week's data remains below the year's average, though not by much, and the trend of claims falling appears to have almost entirely stalled this year from the hope-driven moves of the previous two years.
Now, if you remember, Benjamin Bernanke was supposed to have aided unemployment by buying hundreds of billions of dollars of MBS securities, right? Yeah, I know.. WTF!!! Let's take a look at how that has worked out histoically...
thumb image002 copy copy copy copy copy
Not only has it not worked out well historically, but the unemployment numbers spiked as soon as Bernanke admitted the buying as can be referenced in the ZeroHedge chart above, and have not truly showed a trend of abatement since, but then again, one shouldn't expect such looking at the historical trend in my chart above. If you want to see a positive trend, look at the industry that was saddled with bullshit MBS to begin with...
And there you have it, MBS purchases by the hundreds of billions that likely drive bank shares through the roof as they are unsaddled of the bullshit which they schemed so hard to peddle in the first place as unemployment restarts its upward climb, devoid of the resources that Bernanke directed towards the banks. For those who don't remember how my rant on Bernanke selling out the working class for the banking class went down, reference the video on the topic below...
And on that note, here's a group of companies (yes, another group) that we expect to get banged by this not-so-stealth bank bailout. Chief among this group is an overpriced gem that is suffering spiking expenses, flat revenue and a sad macro outlooke, for subscribers only (click here to subscribe)...

MONEY PRINTING = chasing your tale until you disappear up your own freckle
but they knew that already ... it was never a solution from the beginning
The stunning irony here is that the more that Bernake's policies increase the dysfunction & instability of the System, the louder the demands that he "do something" to solve it. Of course, the fix will not be a fix, rather more of the same--which enable more Government spending and the resultant distortions that go along with it. The demand are, of course, coming from the soliticians, their stoodges in the Media, and the Sheeple who bleat on command. Paradoxically, interest rates will continue to go down to zero or even negative. If the latter, then the Government will actually increase revenue by spending more. Imagine that? At that point, everyone will give up and go on the dole. Its so sad its funny.

Slumdog Millionaire Soundtrack
Released By: N.E.E.T. / Interscope Records
release description
In composing the music for acclaimed director Danny Boyle's intoxicating new film Slumdog Millionaire, now playing in select theaters, A.R. Rahman has conjured the sound of a city, fusing the frenetic scramble of daily life in Mumbai, India into beautiful fugues that ride upon the dust clouds kicked up by its everyday people. From the movie's first frames -- with children racing through alleyways, knocking over merchants and pottery, police kicking loose clay roof tiles, disrupted birds fluttering from gutters -- we hear the sound of their commotion made manifest in "O... Saya." It's a rumbling hybrid of Bollywood and hip-hop, a brand new collaboration between Rahman and M.I.A. It's the kind of cinematic moment where image and sound coexist. And that's only the first five minutes.
Filmed in the streets and slums of Mumbai, India, Boyle needed just the right music to compliment the film's cinema verité urban realism. He turned to internationally renowned composer A.R. Rahman (a huge star in South Asia - selling more than 100 million albums worldwide and 200 million cassettes - Rahman is one of the world's top 25 all-time top selling recording artists.) The film's score is central to the propulsive modern grit that pervades the story, but is also a nod to classic Bollywood productions where the music is front and center. And loud. Says Rahman, "We wanted it edgy, upfront. Danny wanted it loud."
M.I.A.'s appreciation for Bollywood music led her to record much of last year's Kala inside A.R. Rahman's studio in India, although the two had never worked together until now. Referring to him in URB magazine as "the Indian Timbaland," M.I.A. obviously jumped at the chance to work on "O... Saya" with the famed composer. Rahman says, "She's a real powerhouse. Somebody played me her CD and I thought, 'Who is this girl? She came here and knew all my work, had followed my work for ages. I said, 'Cut the crap, this "my idol" crap. You have to teach me.'"
M.I.A. crops up again, later in the film, with the remix of her worldwide hit "Paper Planes" seemingly made for Slumdog, as the lyrics pronounce, "Sometimes I feel like sitting on trains..." while a light blue locomotive chugs and hurls its way through India, young boys perched up top in the sepia sunlight scoping out for a scrap of food. Other songs on the soundtrack include "Gangsta Blues," featuring hip-hop artist BlaaZe, which flutters with the rhythms of a film projector, capturing a bit of the madness of crowds as they disperse in a thousand directions to escape the claustrophobia of back alleys. And nothing quite prepares you for the triumphant climax, the overarching ode to joy that is "Jai Ho," closing out the film in a rousing sing-a-long that's had film audiences burst into spontaneous applause. As Rahman told Variety, "The energy of the film takes you through a roller coaster, and that's one of the main inspirations for the whole music."

According to the Associated Press, the daily rag known as BostonNOW announced its immediate shutdown today after a year of competition with papers like the Boston Metro and long-time stalwarts like the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald.
BostonNOW had 52 full-time and 100 part-time staffers now out of work.
Like many Boston-based writers, I contributed to BostonNOW for awhile. However, after not receiving checks for my freelance work and the editor accusing me of holding an article "hostage," I wrote a scathing "no pay, no way" letter to the special sections editor predicting the downfall of the free, five-day-a-week newspaper:
I am livid about how you handled this situation. Not even a phone call. It shows your inexperience. After weeks of positive feedback, you terminate our agreement claiming I was holding the article for hostage.
Can you say "DRAMA!" Plain and simple, I asked for my check.
There was nothing malicious or unprofessional about my request.
The local press, and the public I've interacted with, considers BostonNOW to be a boil on what was once a city with superior journalistic standards. Based on the topics you've assigned me in the past coupled with the drivel the paper's "staff" puts out, I'll give you guys less than a year before the paper folds.
Shame on you!

Burning down the house
Legislators returned to Raleigh talking tough. Democratic leaders fumed about Gov. Mike Easley's veto of incentives for Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., vowing an override. Some Republicans, suddenly finding the slippery slope of incentives to their dislike, spoke of gathering enough votes to sustain the veto. But as often happens in the state capital, bluster turned into murmur.
Business finds fits for the pit
While growing up in Statesboro, Ga., Tom DeLoach Jr. never saw a NASCAR race. He didnt go to his first until 1986 as vice president of marketing for oil giant Mobil. I said, Wow, this is neat! Boom! The light came on: I like this!
Christy Shaffer
Christy Shaffer can thank the board for knowing her better than she knew herself. With products on the market and a rich pipeline, Inspire Pharmaceuticals is one of the few true successes of the Triangle biotech scene. But without the boards trickery, she never wouldve become its boss.
Economic outlook
If you want to start a high-tech or science-heavy business in the South, theres Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia and everyone else, says Andrew Holton, assistant director for research at The Program on Public Life at UNC Chapel Hill. Those states lead the pack, often by wide margins, in most of the conventional indicators of innovation and risk-taking. Holton led a study of entrepreneurial climates in 12 Southern states.
Figure for
Timing is everything when youre buying and selling stocks. And autumn 2006, it turns out, was a bad time to fall in love with financial companies at least it was for those who participate in Business North Carolinas annual stock-picking contest. A subsequent slump in the housing market and concerns about loan losses, among other things, punished financial stocks this summer and into the fall.
Turner Johnson is the bravest, toughest kid I know. The son of our design/production director, he was born 12 years ago this month with a benign tumor that tethered his spinal cord to the base of his backbone. When he was 3 months old, surgeons cut it loose but couldnt remove the growth, a glob of fatty tissue entwining itself around major nerves.
He handles liquid assets
Pinehurst native Johnny Foster fell in love with the sea at an early age. Inspired by things he read and the exploits of marine researcher and filmmaker Jacques Cousteau, he got hooked on aquaculture, the cultivation of water plants and animals, when he was about 10. I thought that would be a neat way to make a living, to be around salt water and on the water and scuba diving all the time.
Is this any way to run a railroad?
You can't live through an election season without hearing a candidate or two prattling on about how they intend to take on the "special interests" and return the government to the people. What about when the politicians and the government are the special interest?

Pogba yearned for Juventus
Juventus teen prospect Paul Pogba said his desire to join the Serie A leaders blossomed over the off-season.
Fresh from scoring his first goal in Juve colours during the team's 2-0 victory over Napoli on Saturday, the 19-year-old highlighted the role former France and Juventus midfielder Patrick Vieira played in helping him select his destination of choice, once he decided to depart Manchester United.
"There were other teams interested in me over the summer, but I wanted to sign for Juventus," Pogba told Sky Sport Italia.
"Many French champions have played here. I spoke to Vieira and he advised me to come to Juventus.
"I'm really happy and proud of my first goal in the black and white stripes. In those moments you don't think about anything. You try to shoot and that's all."
Joining the France Under-21 international on the scoreboard in Turin was defender Martin Caceres, who similarly came off the bench to make an immediate impact.
"I'm very happy about my goal, but above all for the victory itself, which came at the end of an even and difficult game," added the Uruguay international Caceres.
"I'd like to congratulate everyone on the success.
"Once again we showed that our strength lies within the team. This particular game isn't decisive as far as the Scudetto's concerned however. There are still many games to go before the end of the season."
Napoli's defeat saw Antonio Conte's men open up a three-point gap at the top of the league over the Partenopei, and playmaker Marek Hamsik said they will need to learn from the defeat.
"We need to reflect on this result, and then forget it, because it is a painful one," Hamsik said.
"We could have done more up front. We weren't as dangerous on the counterattack as we know we can be."

Hi All,
I'm in a bit of a pickle about what to get. I need to get 2 blackberry users to receive their email from Zimbra. We will be purchasing Zimbra mobile (we have 1 user on the nokia e-62 and 2 on BB 8800's).
We are running IMAP ssl with a commercial cert. I tried setting up a user with IMAP over ssl using Cingular/AT&T's Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) which supports IMAP w/SSL. Unfortunately, it wouldn't work. Kept giving errors. The Notify link hosted service is quite pricey, so I'm wondering if anyone has gotten the BB to work with the BIS, and if there's a way to get the BIS working with either Zimbra over SSL or Zimbra Mobile.
We are using 4.5.1 of Zimbra Network edition.

text: Print Mandatory occupational pensions Most employers are obliged to have an occupational pension scheme for their employees. The following employers fall under the scope of the act: Enterprises where the working hours and pay of at least two persons in the company correspond to 75% or more of a full-time position Enterprises where the working hours and pay of at least one employee without ownership interests in the company correspond to 75% or more of a full-time position Enterprises employing people with working hours and pay corresponding to 20% or more of a full-time position, provided that the work they carry out total at least two full-time equivalent years. The pension scheme must be established within six months of the date on which the obligation to have an occupational pension scheme arose. If the employer fails to comply with this obligation, the employees are entitled to back payment by the employer of the amounts that should have been paid pursuant to law. No tax shall be deducted from the enterprise's pension contributions, but they must be included in the basis for the employer's National Insurance contributions. Mandatory occupational pensions (OTP) schemes must include old-age pensions and exemption from payment of contributions/premiums in the event of disablement. The enterprise can voluntarily include other benefits in the pension scheme, for example disability pension and surviving spouse's pension. With a defined-benefit scheme, the pension benefit is predictable for the employee, while the enterprise's expenses will depend partly on age and salary levels. Normally, the pension benefit will be defined as a certain percentage of the employee's pay when he/she reaches retirement age. A defined-contribution scheme means that the employer's expenses relating to the pension scheme is fixed, while the pension benefit depends partly on the amount paid in and the return on the contributions. In defined-contribution schemes, a minimum of two per cent of the pay must be deposited in a pension fund, but the enterprise can choose a better scheme and employees can contribute by saving for themselves within certain limits. The type of occupational pension scheme chosen by an enterprise can have considerable consequences for individual employees. Insurance companies, banks and securities firms all provide solutions that meet the OTP requirements. Enterprises that are not under an obligation to establish a pension scheme can nevertheless choose to do so. This option is open to self-employed persons, partners in general partnerships and employed owners of limited companies or public limited companies. A freelancer can also establish a voluntary pension scheme.

This is a Trader`s Market
By EconMatters
Market Themes
The one that has really characterized financial markets over the last couple of years, and by financial markets I mean everything from Forex and Natural Gas to Bonds and Equities, is that sure buy and holding works in certain asset classes given the bull market in equities, but even in regards to equities trading around the market had been the most profitable strategy by a large amount. Many markets like bonds which are currently dominated by Yield Chasers trade in tight ranges, and it is so much more profitable to just swing trade the range because bonds really haven`t gone anywhere for months. Any Bond Bull who didn`t take profits on positions when the 10-year yield was 2.40% is regretting that decision today, and this goes for many markets with ever contracting volatility.
Contracting Volatility
The other trend in markets is that with contracting volatility and so many trading strategies revolving around spread trading and yield carry arbitrage trades prices move a lot less on a 23 hour basis, it boils down to fewer opportunities than before regarding the Asian markets, whereas just 4 years ago it made sense from a volatility standpoint to trade the futures markets overnight for some robust moves, it really isn`t worth one`s time these days. Basically, prices move at the European open and the US Pre-market and open, the European close, Gold and Oil close, and are dead until the equities close unless there is a big Fed day.

Risk Aversion Strategies: Better to make less money, but have perceived lower volatility strategy on Street – becomes self-reinforcing for Industry Trend
Markets have been characterized in the low volatility environment by bot trading, i.e., the machine algos trading back and forth with each other in very, very tight price ranges. This past Wednesday and Jobs day offer some of the best trading opportunities and glimpses of what markets used to be like to trade before the Central Banks started mucking things up with five years of near zero percent liquidity, and the fact that modern finance just loves risk-free arb strategies that are facilitated if they are able to keep volatility in a tight range at low levels.
Central Banks & Market Intervention: Markets became Instruments for Social & Monetary Policy
Once Central Banks get out of markets, and I know some critics think that once they get in they are here to stay, healthy volatility and actual price discovery should come back to asset classes. Oil has been characterized by a trader`s market; one outperformed the buy and holding strategy as no real trends have emerged by and large for the last five years, just sell tops and buy bottoms of the five year trading range between $80 and $110, of course the key is to pay attention to when this trend changes and to use healthy stops, because oil can always make a 2007 run if all the stars align in the market.
Learn to argue both sides of an issue
But the broader theme of this article is just to say that prices move around a lot in many asset classes but don`t really go anywhere in the overall big picture, and savvy traders have taken full advantage of this state of affairs to outperform the market. Don`t ever fall in love with any view, position or asset class because chances are traders will be taking the low hanging fruit, and moving to greener pastures. In short, this is a trader`s market.
Don`t Fall in Love with Positions
And even when the inevitable selling begins and the market declines don`t just position your portfolio with market blinders! For example, there were always powerful snapback rallies during the Financial Crisis and subsequent Market Crash in equities like Citigroup and Bank of America, so don`t fall in love with your shorts, get in get out, and outperform the broader market.
Read More >>> The Inflation Era Has Arrived
AUM versus Performance
Of course that is easier said than done as so many hedgefunds underperform the broader market, but as we have noted before there are a lot of incompetent people managing money these days, and I blame a lot of this on the pension funds and institutional money like endowments who seek diversification just for diversification`s sake, and a bunch of hedge funds and fund of funds have sprung up to take advantage of this trend that couldn`t analyze or trade their way out of a paper bag.
Read More >>> Asset Manager's Dilemma in 2014
But they get paid for raising money, and shoot it isn`t their money, and as long as pension funds and endowments are this enabling, the game continues to be played by these rules. Wall Street is an AUM game, not one which attracts the best minds in the world from other fields like technology and science, they try to outsource these minds, but they usually are of the lower echelon, and relegate these types to support functions like programming.
Punctuation & Grammar Police
Just as an aside as I love that our readers point out the predictable mistakes in our articles, keep up the good work as this keeps us from falling too far in the modern finance cliché, "that if one spends too much time on editing emails, analysis and write-ups, then one isn`t really doing anything substantial in the business."
There can be many effective investing strategies and they all have their merits, but if you`re frustrated that your position keeps bouncing back and forth, giving up large profit chunks and seemingly going nowhere you might want to develop a trader`s mindset!

Central Banks can't get out of the markets. They are now forced to micromanage every detail with much precision or the entire edifice will fall. Gold can't go up or it will take everything else up with it in a commodity crack up boom. It can't go down or the little people of India and Chine will buy up the last few ounces of physical and expose the sham that is the gold market. Interet rates can't be allowed to go up or the governments of the world will have to print into hyperinflation. If they keep rates low it will also require hyperininflationary printing. Stocks can creep up and will probably continue to do so though slowly. If liquidity is withdrawn we'll crash due to that.
Central banks have inserted themselves into the markets and have no way to get out unless they just give up and let the big one happen. They can't do that of course because then we'd know they are useless. I suspect the adults in the monetary world are just about ready to hit the reset button. Maybe they just need a good excuse....or some one to blame.
The market may still yield some profit but as a system of financing productive activity and coordinating the savings of those who seek to pay now to live well later ....that has been over for a while.
The CBs are "dug in like an Alabama tick"
up to the right point- to develop a trader's mindset!!!!

Jeez, after reading these profound insights I'm set to make a shitload of moaney with my starting capital of 10000 Yellenbux.

Super Bowl brings back memories for Zoldan
By Joe Scalzo
They've slept in our hotels, visited our hospitals, practiced at our stadium and (famously) eaten our ice cream.
The owners attended our schools. So did one of the receivers.
For the past two years, the San Francisco 49ers have made Youngstown their second home.
"For one week out of the year, they're Youngstown's team," said Phantom Fireworks owner Bruce Zoldan.
Considering the area's loyalties to the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers — and mutual hatred of the Baltimore Ravens, the 49ers' Super Bowl opponent — there's little doubt they'll be Youngstown's team again today.
Twenty-three years ago, Zoldan brought his father Sam, to New Orleans to watch Eddie DeBartolo Jr.'s 49ers put a 55-10 whooping on the Broncos (and the player who did more to break Browns fans' hearts, John Elway).
"My father grew up a Browns fan and, of course, they never made it," Zoldan said. "The 49ers provided something the Browns couldn't provide."
For many, they still do. Zoldan is one of a handful of Mahoning Valley natives in the Big Easy this weekend. Sporting a Youngstown 49ers shirt and tickets to (he thinks) his 15th Super Bowl, he said memories of the 1990 game have been flooding back.
A lot has happened over the last 23 years — Eddie sold the team to his brother-in-law and sister, John and Denise DeBartolo York, who have since ceded control to their son, Jed — but Zoldan said this weekend feels a lot like the glory years.
"Being here has just brought back some wonderful memories," he said. "In my personal opinion, there couldn't be a nicer family than the Yorks. They are so sincere. So down-to-earth. So non-materialistic.
"They're so typical of Youngstown. It's so great for them to carry the torch that Eddie passed on to them."
In late September, the 49ers spent a week in Youngstown before their game against the New York Jets. They practiced at Youngstown State's Stambaugh Stadium, stayed in the Holiday Inn in Boardman, visited Akron Children's Hospital Mahoning Valley and continued their love affair with Handel's ice cream.
They also learned how to stay focused while spending a week in an unfamiliar city. Sort of like this week.
"Youngstown, they seemed to treat us well for two years in a row," said 49ers defensive tackle Justin Smith. "We are pretty much treating this week like that one."
Added linebacker Patrick Willis, "It's the same kind of work that we had when we were in Youngstown. The only difference now is we have to do a whole lot of media."
Outside of Warren Harding High graduate Mario Manningham, a 49ers receiver who will miss the game due to a knee surgery, San Francisco's Youngstown connection is mostly limited to the front office. (Like his mother, Jed York graduated from Cardinal Mooney.) But Zoldan believes many 49ers embraced the city because it reminded them of their hometowns.
"It's small-town America," he said. "I think the players get the feeling of being where they grew up.
"I think the 49ers can't wait to get back to Youngstown next year and be part of a great community with all the ethnic diversity and wonderful, friendly people."
The 49ers won seven straight games after their Youngstown trip in 2011 and won four of five after this year's stay.
Whether it's because they bonded or because they ate a couple pints of Spouse Like a House, the city's been their good luck charm.
Will that continue today?
"The results speak for themselves," Zoldan said. "I have a good feeling the game will have a good outcome."
I used to enjoy watching NFL and College Football until I started to learn about the health consequences of the game to the players.
It's devastating, especially the damage to the brain: men in their fourties showing signs of dementia caused by numerous concussions.
Now, when I watch the game and I see individual players go down, hit hard, I think will that young man in 20 years be a living vegetable in order to provide me and a million others with a cheap thrill.
Is all that a "sport" or an up-date of the Roman Gladiatorial Games?
Also, what's wrong with "touch" football instead? It gives you all the excitement, the moves, etc.- without the brutality and damage to the players.
Oh, I know, I know. A lot of people- most Americans, I suspect- would object to that. "Touch Football, are you kidding, that's a Girlie Game! We want the real thing."
Well, allright, if you want the real thing- contact football- you have to sign an agreement when you enter the stadium. The agreement is that as you leave you have to allow a gate attendant to whack you in the head with a 2x4 (oh, it's padded, so it won't kill you but it'll gieve you a hell of a jolt)
That whack is what they used to call in the sixties "sensitivity training" where an extraordinary experience puts you in somebody elses shoes and let's you feel as they do.
That whack is an approximation of what a players brain endures when he gets hit hard. And it isn't just a one time experience with him- it happens again and again.

I have a nonard brother-in-law from down south, and every time I attempt to explain to him what "Hilton Magic" used to "consist of" ie: floor shaking, standing up for quarters at a time, telecast picture wobbling, radio broadcasters not being able to hear each other sitting side-by-side, he tells me I am on drugs!
Does anyone know where we can find a video snippet of the Iowa State vs Oklahoma OR Okie State game? Johnny was the coach. (Sorry I can't remember which game it was.)
I know that day, the television image was shaking because of the noise and the foot stomping.
Thanking you beforehand.
THAT was when Hilton Magic was alive and well.

Acquired Hemophilia
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Acquired Hemophilia is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Acquired hemophilia is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by bleeding that occurs in patients with a personal and family history negative for hemorrhages. Autoimmune disorders occur when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells or tissue. In acquired hemophilia, the body produces antibodies (known as inhibitors) that attack clotting factors, most often factor VIII. Clotting factors are specialized proteins required for the blood to clot normally. Consequently, affected individuals develop complications associated with abnormal, uncontrolled bleeding into the muscles, skin and soft tissue and during surgery or following trauma. Specific symptoms can include nosebleeds (epistaxis), bruising throughout the body, solid swellings of congealed blood (hematomas), blood in the urine (hematuria) and gastrointestinal or urogenital bleeding. Acquired hemophilia can potentially cause severe, life-threatening bleeding complications in severe cases. In approximately 50% of cases, there is an identifiable underlying clinical condition; in the other 50% no cause is known (idiopathic).
Acquired hemophilia is different from congenital hemophilia, a group of rare genetic disorders caused by congenital deficiency of certain clotting factors. The main form of hemophilia is hemophilia A (classic hemophilia), which is an X-linked disorder that fully affects males only. It is caused by deficiency or inactivation of factor VIII, the same clotting factor that is affected in most cases of acquired hemophilia. Although both disorders involve deficiency of the same clotting factor, the bleeding pattern is quite different. The reason the bleeding patterns differ between these disorders is not fully understood.

Leave it to Maria Menounos to wear a campy swimsuit and get away with it.
The TV personality was spotted in Mykonos, Greece earlier today sporting a Greek-flag bikini and looking perfect. Seriously, her body is too amazing. Well, I guess you have to keep it perfect when you're often wearing one on TV.
Maria looked to really enjoy her vacation as she froliced in the water and made out with her boyfriend. Have you seen her boyfriend, Keven Undergaro? They've been together since 2011.
For some reason I always thought that she and Derek Hough were a thing. I guess I was just making that up. But she and Keven look happy together. Wouldn't you be happy if your girlfriend had a body like Maria?
Launch the gallery to check out all the best bikini shots. Now I just want to go buy flag swimsuits. Not that I would ever wear it, but just for posterity's sake.
