The planet, named Kepler-1704b, could also explain how certain planets end up orbiting their host stars in non-circular ways. Researchers have dubbed Kepler-1704b a “failed hot Jupiter” that orbits its host star, Kepler-1704, once every 989 days or so. It is around 2,690 light years away from Earth. The planet has a mass of around 4.15 times that of Jupiter but has a similar radius. Hot Jupiter-type planets are nothing new....

In Star Wars, the Inquisitors were a group of dark side force users who worked as agents of the Sith during the reign of the Galactic Empire.

But when “Boyz N the Hood” opened to episodes of audience violence on July 12–just four months after the similarly bloody opening of “New Jack City”-it left the boom’s future up in the air. No one can blame either movie for the acts of its audience; Singleton’s film has a strong anti-violence message. But the trouble now suggests a disturbing pattern: films that address the violent element of urban America-from “The Warriors” and “Colors” (both made by white directors) to “New Jack City” and “Boyz N the Hood”-risk bringing that element out....

Painful as it sounds, that’s what many people used to think. But according to a study appearing Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association, it now seems that there is a biological basis for SIDS, which kills more than 2,100 infants a year in this country. SIDS was long regarded as a mystery disease. But the study by Dr. Hannah Kinney and David Paterson at Children’s Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School provides the strongest evidence to date that babies who succumb to SIDS have specific problems in a part of the brainstem, known as the medulla, that helps regulate automatic functions like heart rate, breathing and body temperature....

A Black man born in a blue-collar family, Elder grew up in the Pico-Union and South Central areas of Los Angeles.

The case, which became public last month, has shocked the Dallas area. Many residents are outraged that the club remains open. (Its owners didn’t return calls seeking comment.) Officials are now working on new provisions that would make it easier to revoke a cabaret’s license if it employs minors. Authorities have also moved against the couple who allegedly housed the girl. In February, they indicted David Bell, 22, and Demonica Abron, 28, on charges of felony sexual performance of a child, among other counts....

When I went to a New England boarding school in 1972, and then to college, I began to learn about the journey. I learned the depth of the conflicts between me and my classmates and teachers, but I could not express clearly my frustration until years later when I read what the Swiss psychoanalyst Alice Miller had to say about writers. In order to draw on their store of unconscious inspiration, Miller wrote, some writers tap a cup of poison at the source, which they take to be the wide ocean beyond....
