WEDNESDAY, Nov. 14 (HealthDay News) -- Young children are more likely to be generous when others are aware of their actions, according to a new study.
Latest Healthy Kids News
Previous research has shown that adults are more likely to act in ways that will benefit their reputation when they are being watched or when their actions are likely to be made public, compared to when they are anonymous.
Whether young children behave similarly was unknown, according to the Yale University researchers.
They gave stickers to 5-year-old children who had the option of sharing one or four of the stickers with another child of the same age. The children were more generous when they could see the recipient than when the recipient was hidden. They were also more generous when they had to give the stickers in a transparent container rather than in one where the stickers could not be seen.
These behaviors were the same no matter how many stickers the children were given to keep for themselves, according to the study published recently in the journal PLoS One.
The researchers said their findings show that children as young as 5 can make "strategic" choices about whether to be generous, depending on whether the recipient is aware of the giver's actions.
"Although the frequency with which children acted antisocially is striking, the conditions under which they chose to act generously are even more interesting and suggest that children likely use much more sophisticated prosocial strategies than we previously assumed," study author Kristin Lyn Leimgruber said in a journal news release.
"Much like the patterns of charity we see in adults, donation tendencies in children appear to be driven by the amount of information available to others about their actions -- for both adults and children, the more others know about their actions, the more likely they are to act generously," Leimgruber said.

The Week That Was: NCAA Tournament EditionPosted by rtmsf on March 22nd, 2011
David Ely is an RTC Contributor
What We Learned
The Big East is not overrated; it's just not as good as it was made out to be. The conference sent an NCAA record 11 teams into the field of 68 and Vegas set the over/under of total wins for the conference at 15.5. This year's March Madness was supposed to be the cherry on top of an historic season, but instead the tournament has been a complete and utter disaster. Only two teams from the Big East will be playing next weekend (Connecticut and Marquette), and the only reason there are two teams remaining is because each squad beat a conference foe to advance to the Sweet 16. But let's not jump the gun and label the Big East as the most overrated conference in the nation. For one thing, assessing the merits of a conference over a single weekend slate of games is somewhat foolish. That's a ridiculously small sample size, especially considering during the regular season the conference posted a 34-19 record against tournament teams, according to the New York Times' Nate Silver, who's been spot-on with his analysis this month. The Big East was justified in getting 11 teams in the field — after all, Marquette made the Sweet 16 — but it was just a good conference, not an especially great one. If anything, we're guilty of overlooking the fact that most of the teams in the Big East lacked NBA talent on their rosters (a key ingredient to any successful Final Four run). When Kemba Walker is your conference's top NBA prospect, you know you have a talent deficit.

From 5-6 March 2013, the Director General of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Julia Marton-Lefèvre, came to visit Sustainable Development Foundation (SDF) and IUCN's joint project field sites, where coastal communities are responding to both climate and human induced change.
As soon as the IUCN delegates arrived, they were welcomed with big smiles. The tour started with the Mai Root villagers proudly showing their visitors around their community crab banks.
"We as a community operate the crab bank, and monitor indicators, outcomes, and the overall process," says Phonpat Sreesangkajorn.
Phonpat scoops a cup of water from the crab bank, the water filled with hundreds of thousands of minute crabs swimming around. The banks host pregnant crabs until their eggs are released, which are then distributed into the ocean or inland waterways, with the IUCN team being able to get on a boat and release the eggs themselves during their visit. The community has seen improvements in crab populations and is now experimenting with silver mantis shrimp aquaculture. But the crab bank initiative has encountered some problems, with some villagers taking advantage of the population increase, where young crabs can be found in huge numbers.
"However, we found that many of those participating in the nearshore fishing are older villagers, maybe in their sixties or seventies, who might not have the resources and strength to be able to head out to sea," explains Jonathan Shott, Project Manager and Disaster Management Consultant with SDF.
"[Through these crab banks] the community can plan and set strategies for ourselves," proclaims Surasak Intaraprasert, a prominent village leader who once was the sub-district headman.
After visiting the field, the guests joined the villagers in a learning forum about village led approaches and adaptation strategies. At the forum, villagers shared about their livelihood diversification strategy and how this helps to build resilience to future change. Intaraprasert strongly supports the strategies like the crab bank. "It is a great example of adaptation because it is responding to economic, social, and environmental changes all at the same time. We work to ensure sustainability through youth interaction in our plans and programs."
Planting for the future
After the forum the IUCN guests were invited to another village in Mai Root to plant nipa palms in the mangrove forest area with local primary school students. Joined by local leaders and the head of the local mangrove development station, Mr. Winai Boonlom, the guests planted for the future. Many of the IUCN staff were ecstatic to see the community and youths participating in the care of their environment. Mangroves continue to be depleted all over Thailand. Where mangroves used to cover 368,000 ha in 1961, has dropped to 240,000 ha by 20041and continues to be at risk. Many efforts are now being made all along the Thai coast with communities protecting, rehabilitating, and planting mangroves. Including local classrooms, where the participating youths came from, joined and encouraged by their young science teacher.
The next stop for the tour was to visit another crab bank in a second village, which is located in a very accessible space and doubles up as a community center.
The following day, SDF joined IUCN in a forum held by The Center for People and Forests (RECOFTC) and Mangroves for the Future (MFF), with multiple partners, such as SDF.
Various local NGOs, civil society organizations, village groups and academic institutions attended the forum. Director General Marton-Lefèvre went over the mission of MFF and emphasized the importance of sharing knowledge.
"Knowledge sharing will empower communities. And enhancing governance is important because we cannot talk about the environment without looking at how people treat and preserve the environment." says Director General Julia Marton-Lefèvre.
Mangroves for the Future, a partnership-based initiative, also help to exchange knowledge from different mangrove countries, empower local communities, and enhance governance to better care for the environment and people.
The final stop for the tour was Bang Chan Sub-District, in Chanthaburi Province. Considered to be located illegally in mangrove forests, the communities here can also come into conflict with government officials because of their use of a type of fishing gear called stationary set bag nets, which are also considered illegal under Thai law. One of the communities here is conducting a 2-year research project to come up with comprehensive empirical data to improve fishery management in the sub-disitict, and hopefully improve the sustainability of local livelihoods at the same time.
There are around 1,200 stationary set bag nets in the sub-district, and the villagers along with researchers will examine the catches of 10% of these fishing gears. The community shared their plan of action to the IUCN delegates.
Patiwat Kanchanawong, an independent researcher, said he was glad to have the IUCN Director General visit.
"She is a big name from a global organization. She has come to this small village and showed her support for community self-management towards sustainable living. We are honored", says Kanchanawong.
SDF and the communities we work with would like to thank IUCN and the Director General for their visit. We end with a tweet posted by Marton-Lefèvr, "Visit to EU funded coastal resilience joint @IUCN and @SDFThai project in Trat Province Thailand with visible results for people & nature."

I am getting my daughter ready for her move, she found a job and is moving. Which is good for her, and we will miss her, but, she has to go where the work is.
I am back to searching for Jacob and Mary Bowser. I have started in insane task of searching Armstrong County communities one by one, looking or them. I am in the 1870 census. So far they only person I have found was thirteen year old Lafayette Bowser, he is not living with the parents Jacob and Mary. Is he on some sort of apprentice, he does not have any occupation listed by his name????
The funny thing, and I really had to laugh, I found a listing of Margaret Myers and she was born in Württemberg and her son was below and his place of birth was listed as Atlantic Ocean. I guess he was born on the high seas on the way over. I can not imagine the conditions under which poor Margaret had given birth on that ship.
I am still in the A's in Armstrong County. I think they were hiding from the census taker.

I'm excited to be here! Just got my first hammock from Trek Light because...
a) I always wanted a Hammock.
b) I have a nice hammock stand (sans hammock) I acquired a couple years back from a friend. It needed a hammock.
When my TL Hammock arrived, I started researching about how to sit in them and lay in them, etc. I stumbled onto this forum and "hammock camping." Liking the lower-impact to nature aspect, I am a new convert. I'll be getting a Warbonnet superfly w/doors, soon, with some DIM (do-it-myself) items added in (i.e., underquilt, removable bug netting, etc). I've also ordered my mini-atomic from Tinny (at Mini Bull Design) and a bush-buddy. My "geeky" self is super jazzed! I'm gonna have me some fun this winter!
Thanks for all the great information, everybuggy! See ya out there on the trail!

For this reason, we take a holistic, locally-led approach, working with communities, their systems and structures to build businesses, increase income and improve employment opportunities. Even in the most fragile and informal markets, we focus on intentional, market-based solutions, ones which can succeed and expand long after we've left.

Sean Guard watched other people exercising from the window of his car or his office in City Hall, as the pounds piled on slowly, a little bit at a time. The Washougal mayor left his city's bike trails and foot paths to those more inclined to exercise while he made short work of chicken-fried steaks.
In neighboring Camas on the Columbia River, Scott Higgins leaves up a skinny picture on his online resume, but the truth is a little harder for the city's mayor. He has ratcheted up and down the scale, but on Wednesday landed at a firm 300 pounds.
Together, the two present a familiar picture of the ever-expanding American waistline- or, at least the kind of weight problems that contribute to higher health care costs and shortened life spans. Higgins has lost a significant amount of weight two or three times, he said. Guard has never tried.
With a health coach and a new diet program, the two mayors hope to lead their respective cities to a collective weight loss. But first, they talked a little trash.
"I'm planning on sabotaging you at every chance I get," Higgins said. "You might want to tell your office staff to not accept any packages from the city of Camas."
"The more calories the better," Guard responded. "I know how to share."
Taking inspiration from television's "The Biggest Loser," the cities are making it competitive in a contest to see which can lose the most weight in 12 months.
At a Wednesday press conference, Guard and Higgins stepped on the scales. Neither was particularly happy with the number - Higgins was 10 pounds heavier than he said he weighed during an interview last week.
The cities have long been sports rivals, and the mayors are trying to capitalize on that rivalry to get residents to participate in the pound-shedding campaign. Local businesses have already started signing up employees for the contest.
"Camas definitely has a higher percentage (of obesity and overweight people) than we'd like," Higgins said.
The southwest Washington cities are less than 40 miles from bike-friendly Portland, Ore., and both mayors said they and their cities could make more use of the myriad trails in the area.
"There's great places to walk, we've just got to do it," Guard said. "We just have to plan more meetings together, we just have to walk."
There's more at stake than thinner elected officials. Insurance companies support the idea, and offer a small incentive to the city of Camas.
"Those health care costs continue to rise," Higgins said. "If we have wellness programs and events like these, our insurance providers give us a 2 percent discount."
At his weigh-in, Guard read Higgins his weight. Higgins dropped his head and chuckled.
"Oh man," Higgins said. "We got work to do."

Family of baby revived on Miami's Dolphin Expressway reveals he had trachea problems
It has been two weeks since baby Sebastián de la Cruz stopped breathing while his aunt was at the wheel in heavy traffic on the Dolphin Expressway — a near-tragedy and rescue documented by a news photograph beamed around the world.
On Wednesday, the aunt, Pamela Rauseo, and the baby's parents, Paola Vargas and Robinson de la Cruz, held a news conference to update the baby's condition and chronicle the unexpected turns the family's lives have taken since the day Sebastián nearly died.
Feb. 20 started like any other day for Rauseo. De la Cruz had not made it back on time from a business trip to Atlanta, and her sister asked her to take Sebastián to a doctor's appointment. On their way, they got stuck in traffic — a typical experience on the Dolphin. But this time, the baby stopped breathing.
Rauseo jumped out of the car, desperately screaming for help. Behind her was Miami Herald news photographer Al Diaz, who alerted a police officer.
At the end of the night, Diaz's image of Rauseo reviving 5-month-old Sebastián on the expressway was published by news outlets worldwide.
Sebastián went home last Friday when his condition had stabilized after more than a week in the hospital. Doctors discovered and removed three cysts from the baby's trachea that were making it difficult for him to breathe. His parents said they would never have known the procedure needed to be done had Sebastián not stopped breathing in his aunt's car that day on State Road 836.
Rauseo said the family was overwhelmed. While their main concern was for the baby's health, the onslaught of local and international media was hard to deal with.
"We didn't know how to handle all this, and it was uncomfortable for me," Rauseo said Wednesday at the Hachar Law Firm in Miami Lakes. "The truth is that it got out of our control."
Rauseo, who has three children, will be recognized by the Red Cross on March 13. Her story has helped create awareness of the importance of CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training.
A trust has been set up for Sebastián at babyseba.com.
Sebastián's young parents said Wednesday they foresee a brilliant future for him. The child was born prematurely after Vargas, who is a nurse at Jackson Memorial Hospital, noticed he was ceasing to move in her womb.
"They did a C-section, and thank God he was born all right," she said. "I believe he is destined for something great because he has been given back to me twice."
The day of the incident Vargas was on duty at the hospital when she received a call from her sister. Rauseo was trying to sound calm, something Vargas said she has learned to read as a sign that something is wrong.
"She told me to go to the emergency room," she said. "When I got there I found my mother crying in a corner, but my sister calmly explained what had happened."
Rauseo thought it was the best way.
"I am a mother and know how desperate you feel when something happens to your child," she said. "That's how I knew that I had to tell her in person, after I knew that everything was all right."

" Good Enough" Switching is not Good Enough for Public Sector Customers
Public Sector customers continue to debate the trade-offs of prioritizing lowest price switching, point product solutions, over designing and deploying Cisco network architecture solutions which provide a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
On February 23, 2012, Deloitte Consulting presented the findings of an in-depth research study that examines the operational, financial, and risk factors associated with the use of single-vendor and multivendor approaches in different types of complex networks which may be viewed here along with the report itself.
They key findings are summarized in the following 7 items:
- Within the context of total IT spending, the use of single-vendor or multivendor architectures does not present material cost differences on a long-term basis. Initial cost savings realized in multivendor network implementations are mitigated by the incremental operating costs over the life of the equipment.
- Enterprise networks are considered critical production systems, key to business operations. Networks must be managed with an appropriate operational risk perspective.
- Customers prefer a single vendor to be responsible for all network components and services. The operational risk associated with network support, not the cost, is the primary factor when influencing the decisions to use single or multivendor architectures.
- Staffing costs are not significantly impacted by the use of multiple vendors; it is more influenced by the mix of functions supported and the types of network services provided.
- Using products from different vendors can bring down initial costs for certain products, but adds higher operating risk in service, support, and operational integration.
- The use of multiple networking vendors introduces additional operational risk based on the need for customers to assume increased risks for integration, interoperability and support.
- When using multiple vendors' products, customers frequently do not recognize the interdependencies of functionality, long-term costs, and impact on operational risks
And be sure to watch Director of Public Sector Systems Engineering, Dave West on youtube present his version of why low-cost, " Good Enough" Switching is not Good Enough for Public Sector Customers looking for a reliable, secure, highly available, well supported and investment protected network.

The White House suspended the Constitution and implemented Continuity of Government Plans on 9/11, based upon a declared state of national emergency. Bush has continually renewed the declared state of emergency up to and including today. See this.
The White House has done everything it could to scare people and convince them that America is under attack, as a way to justify the yearly renewal of the declared state of emergency and the continuing unconstitutional seizure of power by the executive branch.
In other words, the ongoing state of emergency is both the result of fearmongering and the justification for tyranny.
But Congress has the power to revoke the state of emergency.
Specifically, the National Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. Sections 1601-1651 (passed in 1976), gives Congress the power to countermand a presidential declaration of national emergency. Indeed, in 1976, Congress rescinded all of the declarations of national emergency made since World War II, as many of them had been on the books for years and were giving the executive unrestricted powers which were undermining the Constitution.
So in addition to impeachment, contempt for ignoring subpoenas, and a host of other powers, Congress can countermand Bush's declarations of national emergency since 2001.
With the declared state of emergency over, Continuity of Government Plans cannot remain in effect, and Congress is suddenly in a much stronger position to reign in Bush and Cheney.
Note to legal scholars: In 1983, the Supreme Court struck down a portion of Congress' power to countermand a declaration of national emergency. But Congress got around that ruling by amending the National Emergencies Act in 1985 to confirm Congress' power to countermand – through a joint resolution between the House and Senate – a declaration of emergency by the president (see this).
Moreover, in 2007, the Bush Administration tried to ignore the National Emergencies Act by issuing National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 51. But that dog won't hunt. The Constitution does not allow the president to unilaterally cut Congress out of the picture.
