    Baby boomers hold more real-estate wealth than any other generation. The Silent Generation held that distinction until 2001, according to Michael Kolomatsky's analysis of Federal Reserve Data for The New York Times. As was typical of older generations, many had begun selling their homes to move in with their families or into assisted-living facilities or nursing homes, leaving boomers to take over as the biggest wealth holders in real estate. But boomers are now breaking tradition. They've surpassed the Silent Generation, per the Times' data analysis, holding the most real estate wealth of any generation for the past 20 years....

    The National Science Foundation has committed $10 million to build robots that will act as “personal trainers” for children, in an effort to influence their behavior and eating habits. The government has spent $2.15 million so far for the five-year project, which is being led by Yale University. The project, “Robots Helping Kids,” will ultimately “deploy” robots into homes and schools to teach English as a second language, and encourage kids to exercise.

    RALEIGH - A hearing into the firing of a state trooper accused of mistreating his police dog opened today with a video of the officer kicking the dog as it was suspended from the railing of a loading dock. The 15-second video, taken by another trooper using his cell phone, shows Sgt. Charles L. Jones kicking the dog, Ricoh, five times. The dog was tied to the railing by its leash at the time, with its front paws in the air and its rear paws touching the ground. With each kick, the dog swung about two feet under the dock.

    Who we are RealRepublicanMajority.org is working to bring the GOP?s agenda back to the center and promote common sense values. The Real Republican Majority promotes tolerance, not bigotry. We want the GOP to focus on the longstanding beliefs in sound fiscal policy, smaller government, lower taxes, a growing economy and individual liberty. We believe that these traditional goals should be first and foremost in the GOP. Unlike the 'my way or the highway' tactics of social extremists we know that there is often room for compromise and common ground on issues of disagreement. It is time to promote the big...
