CHARLES READY FOR PENSION, STILL IN LINE FOR JOB
Prince Charles plans to claim the government pension he qualifies for when he turns 65 on Thursday, but he still hasn't started the job he was born to do. The eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II has been heir to the throne since his mother became monarch in 1952, when he was 3. He is the longest-waiting heir apparent in Britain's history, overtaking Queen Victoria's son, Edward VII, two years ago. Palace officials said Wednesday that Charles will contribute the government pension to a charity that helps elderly people.

Electability
First off, electability isn’t just about where you fall on the conservative vs. moderate spectrum. I was told repeatedly that Romney and McCain were electable because of their moderate approach to the issues. They lost. Now that’s not to say that a moderate Republican can’t win. It’s also not to say that a solid conservative can’t win. The truth is that where you stand on the issues is a small piece of the very big puzzle of electability.

Heavy atoms help give black hole jets their power
Astronomers have known for decades that the high-speed jets emanating from black holes contain electrons, which are low-mass particles. These particles within black hole jets are moving at relativistic speeds, that is, a significant fraction of the speed of light. Now a research team has found the first evidence of heavy atoms – iron and nickel – in the jets from a black hole known as 4U1630-47. They say the heavy atoms in the jets of this black hole – and other black holes – would help explain why black hole jets pack such a powerful punch.

Bible Owners Among Dead in Mass Public Executions Across North Korea
In the first known large scale executions under the still new regime of Kim Jong-un as many as 80 "criminals" were publicly killed by authorities across the country. Among those executed included individuals guilty of "possessing a Bible", said the South Korean newspaper that reported on the executions. According to the newspaper the executions took place in about eight different cities. In Wonsan, eight individuals were reportedly tied to stakes at a sports stadium and riddled with machine gun bullets as thousands were forced to watch. Family members of those executed were shipped off to prison camps, were conditions are atrocious and many die from malnutrition. North Korea is the world's worst persecutor of Christians. The possession of a Bible is illegal, and religious activity can be punished by death or the life imprisonment of three generations of the "criminals" family.

As obesity rates continue to rise in the United States, many experts are looking for new tools to fight this epidemic. But, a Seattle pediatrician is trying a more traditional method to keep children at a healthy weight: walking to school. Forty years ago, nearly half of U.S. children regularly walked or rode their bikes to school, said Dr. Jason Mendoza, a principal investigator in Seattle Children’s Hospital’s Center for Child Health, Behavior and Development. Back then, obesity was uncommon. Today, only about 12 percent of kids walk or bike to school while most get a ride from their parents or take the bus. And, Mendoza said and one in three children and adolescents are obese or overweight.
