Older adults who look after their grandchildren might also be doing themselves a favor. New research suggests that it could be linked to a longer life for the caregivers. The study, published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, found that grandparents who helped care for their grandchildren lived an average of five years longer than those who did not. The international group of researchers also found a similar effect among seniors without grandchildren who cared for kids outside their own family or provided assistance to people in other ways. Older childless adults who provided childcare lived an average of three years longer. Study author Ralph Hertwig, director of the Center for la 카지노 Adaptive Rationality at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, notes that the benefits grandchildren receive from being cared for by their grandparents is well established — but there’s been less research on the other side of the equation, what it means for the grandparents. He points to a 2009 U.S. Census Bureau report that found 2.5 million grandparents were responsible for most of the basic needs of one or more grandchildren who lived in their household. Similarly, according to a 2009 study of more than 35,000 Europeans, 58 percent of grandmothers and 49 percent of grandfathers reported providing some care for their grandchild over the course of a year. “Now, rather than only...

(CBS/AP) KABUL – NATO says three members of the Afghan national security forces have been killed in an attack at Bagram Air Field, a sprawling U.S. base north of Kabul. The coalition said Tuesday it has not yet confirmed whether the three were killed by rockets or mortar rounds that were fired at the base around late Monday night. Gen. Akram Begzad, the police chief in Parwan province where the base is located, said a rocket was fired at the base from an undisclosed location. He says two Afghan intelligence employees were among those killed in the attack. The attack also destroyed a Chinook helicopter belonging to the NATO-led forces. A NATO spokesperson tells CBS News two Western service personnel who were onboard the helicopter were wounded. The extent of their injuries was not given and their nationalities were withheld.

The rocket or mortar attack came just hours after the U.S. military transferred control of the sprawling prison facility at Bagram to Afghan forces. As CBS News correspondent Charlie D’Agata reports, the transfer came with concerns, and some detainees will still be under U.S. watch. Also on Tuesday, Afghan police said a suicide bomber...

Updated 1:44 PM ET (CBS News) LONDON – Afghan President Hamid Karzai has attempted to preempt violent anti-U.S. demonstrations in his nation in the wake of a deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Karzai “strongly and resolutely” denounced the online video clip which sparked the violence in Benghazi and an earlier protest in Cairo, which is part of a movie made by an American-Israeli businessman and promoted by anti-Muslim pastor Terry Jones. But he told Afghans that the filmmaker, Sam Bacile, who has reportedly gone into hiding in California, and Jones, “along with their supporters represent a small radical minority” in America. “This heinous act has created outrage and anxiety for all peace-loving humans who back up the idea of peaceful coexistence,” said Karzai.

One Afghan government-run internet service provider had blocked access to Youtube on Wednesday, reports CBS News reporter Kitty Logan, but other...

Ashton Kutcher is a modern-day Renaissance Man, with his movie, television and social media ventures, but this Monday, all eyes will be on him as he makes his debut on the hit sitcom “Two and a Half Men.” “Early Show” co-anchor Chris Wragge caught up with Kutcher to talk about the season premiere — and the pressure. Pictures: Fall TV on CBS So what does it feel like to be the new man on “Two and a Half Men”? “I feel like the luckiest guy in the world,” Kutcher said. And what was it that was so appealing to you about getting back into television? “I just offhandedly mentioned to a friend (that), if they offer me that job, I’d take it,” Kutcher said. “It’s always sort of nice to jump on something that’s already moving and successful and people already have an appetite for. It just seemed like the best job in the world” Perhaps too good, Wragge remarked, 황금성 for its previous occupant, Charlie Sheen. His eight-season run as hard-living Charlie Harper came to an end after a series of now-infamous feuds and rants. But Kutcher is quick to say he’s not trying to fill Sheen’s shoes. “Here’s the thing,” Kutcher said. “Charlie was incredible on the show and I can’t, there’s no way I’m going to replace Charlie Sheen. I’m not playing his character. But it’s...
