First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

31 year old man | Saint Paul, MN, USA | Seeking women 25-32 within 20 miles
I good you bid evening.
Here's a fun fact: I have a pretty tough time getting around writer's block. There, gonna have to change that later... you know what they say, 'You have to turn and face the tiger to see that it is made of paper.' So I guess I just have to start typing things about myself and hope for the best (and edit for quality later on.) I like to think of myself as someone who is not really into half measures. I'm either going a million miles a minute or just sitting on my couch watching sports on TV, hopefully enjoying a beer or two. The trick is trying to find a balance between the two. As far as activities go I run a lot, bike when it is nice out (hopefully soon,) I started playing a little bit of hockey last winter but I'm pretty terrible at it still, I try to lift weights a few times a week so I don't look so scrawny, and I started doing yoga, also something that I'm kind of terrible at, but I am getting better. Other things I enjoy are cooking, I joined a CSA last winter which had me scouring the internet to find ways to cook all the produce that I received every other week... I got pretty good with that. I also enjoy drinking and going to bars where one doesn't have to shout to be heard. I like travelling, mostly I've been going out west to places like Colorado Springs, Boulder, and the Pacific Northwest. I've done road trips, planes, and a three week Amtrak trip, but I'd like to branch out internationally as well, so I've been attempting to brush up on my foreign language skills as well. So far, I can probably get by in places that use Spanish, and not die in places that speak French, German, or Italian, but I am by no means fluent. I want to get more into outdoorsy stuff beyond day hikes and such so one goal for the spring is to get more into camping and check out some of the state parks and things around Minnesota and Wisconsin.

I like Dogs
I really like dogs, so much so that I can't bear to keep one in my little home while I'm gone for 10 hours a day. Someday, I'll have a solution for that problem.
Middle of the Road
I get out in St Paul a bit, as far as activities go, the Lakes can be fun, but I'm up for checking out places that may be less crowded. As far as places to travel I've recently been to Boulder, San Francisco, LA, Portland, and Seattle.
University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire, Eau Claire, WI
Running, cycling, and outdoor stuff... as far as TV shows go, I'm into The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, and Game of Thrones. For sports, any Wisconsin team (first and foremost the Packers) and I've adopted the Wild and Twins as my own.
I'm a big fan of trying out new things... I don't know much about art, but going to art museums with someone who does is neat. I'd like to try and get to as many little events as I can, but it's tough when you don't have someone to join you.
I just got back from a road trip to Colorado so I spent a lot of time reading an atlas focusing on CO, NE, and SD but other than that I've been jumping between Visit Sunny Chernobyl and a book about Jacques Anquetil.

This is the first time the International Conference on Urban Pests (ICUP) was held in South America and it attracted more than 200 delegates from 20 countries.
Editor's note: Held once every three years, the sixth International Conference on Urban Pests (ICUP) was held for the first time in South America between Aug. 7-10. In total it attracted over 240 delegates representing 20 countries. Over half of those attending were from the host country, Brazil, with the USA, UK and Germany also well represented. Frances McKim, from U.K.-based Pest magazine, filed the following report.
South America has a dynamic entomology community, and bringing the conference to this area has been a priority for the organizers for many years. Through the leadership and hard work of Ana Eugênia de Carvalho Campos, at the Institute of Biology in Sao Paulo, Brazil, this became reality. Ana and her organizing committee put together a conference that fitted well with the ICUP tradition, but which had a clear Brazilian flavor.
The conference was held in a former Metallurgical Institute in the mining town of Ouro Preto, not far from Belo Horizonte. Ouro Preto has UNESCO protected status, owing to the fine 18th and 19th century Baroque architecture. As well as many small bars and restaurants in which the delegates could be found in the evening, discussing the finer points of urban pest science, and other issues.
In total, the conference included 73 oral presentations and 61 poster presentations. These can all be found as either a hard-backed book or as a CD. Contact Clive Boase firstname.lastname@example.com for prices.
On the first day there were nine plenary lectures which commenced with an excellent overview on ant ecology in the Atlantic rain forest of Brazil, followed by the challenge of controlling arbovirusis in Brazil as well as the ecological significance of bats in natural and urban environments.
Event organizer, Ana Eugênia de Carvalho Campos, presented a very interesting lecture on the history of urban entomology and, also with a historical theme, David Pinniger from the UK updated delegates on the new developments in pest management for collections in museums and historic houses.
Further sessions throughout the three days covered the whole spectrum of urban pests ranging from the transmission of diseases, accidental pest introduction, biology and control of urban ants, new approaches on mosquitoes and other flies, as well as the management and control of cockroaches, termites, rodents and bed bugs.
Making use of this unique and historic venue, there was a special workshop on pests in historic buildings, which included visits to some of the old churches to look at and discuss building conservation issues.
It was not all hard work! There was also a conference banquet where guests were entertained by a 14-piece Brazilian band, together with professional dancers who offered samba coaching.
The next ICUP will be in Zurich, Switzerland, 2014 with Gabi Mueller of the Urban Pest Advisory Service in Zurich as chair.
In advance of the July 22 release of "Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!" Terminix has released a trailer for an equally over-the-top parody, "Mosquitonado," based on the world's actual deadliest animal: mosquitoes.
Staff at the United Nations' New York headquarters got a message informing them of the presence of bed bugs.
The South Georgia Heritage Trust has concluded the baiting phase of its multi-year project to remove invasive rodents which have destroyed most of the native birds on one of the world's most important seabird sanctuaries.
When rats rest, their brains simulate journeys to a desired future such as a tasty treat, finds new University College London (UCL) research funded by the Wellcome Trust and Royal Society.

Shel Silverstein is one of my favourite authors. The Giving Tree is a beautiful story about unconditional love. I can't wait to read it to my son.
A classic tear-jerker with a positive ending. Themes of friendship, sharing, lifelong bond, living for another; mild environmental undertones.
The Giving Tree is a beautiful book about a tree who loves a little boy. Silverstein's simple line drawings and straight forward, calming words add to the overarching tone of the whole book. In the beginning, the love the two share is enough to make them both happy. As the boy grows older, his needs change and the tree gives him everything in order to help him achieve happiness. I fell in love with this book the first time it was read to me, and my feelings have never changed. This book has some unclear themes that are up for interpretation. I feel that the theme of unconditional love is very abstract and hard for children to understand but this book does it with ease and elegance. For me, the key point is that in the end, the love the tree had for the boy still existed by his return- older, wiser, and more appreciative. Throughout the book, the narrator explains the feelings of abandonment and sacrifice the tree exhibits every time the boy comes to get something from the tree. The narrator says "and then the tree was happy... but not really." When there's nothing left of her, the boy returns again as an old man, needing a quiet place to sit and rest. The stump offers up her services, and he sits on it. "And the tree was happy."
This classic story can be used to talk about a variety of topics, such as generosity, human vs. natural resources, and friendship.
This book is one of my absolute favorites, and has been since I first read it when I was only 7 years old. The book tells about the life of a boy and a tree that he grows up with, and highlights specific moments in the boy's life that he needed favors from the tree. The author repeats throughout the story "and the tree loved the boy, even more than she loved herself," relating to the main idea of generosity. In the story, the boy first just plays with the tree, swinging from it's branches, making crowns out of its leaves, and napping under the shade that it provides. Because the tree gives off a feminine persona throughout, it serves almost as a caretaker or mother for the boy in the beginning of the story. Once the boy gets older however, he needs money, so the tree lets the boy pick her apples and sell them. The boy then comes to the tree years later, saying that he needs to build his family a house. The tree replies, "here boy, cut down my branches and build a house." Throughout the story, the boy keeps taking and taking from the tree and she always gives everything that she can until all thats left is a stump. Once the man is old and alone, he asks the tree is he can sit on her stump and rest, and that is how the book ends. Many people feel as though this is an anti-feministic book, that shows a man taking advantage of a woman for their whole lives, and never giving much back in return. I however, feel that this is a beautiful story about love, generosity, and full devotion to another person.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0060256656, Hardcover)To say that this particular apple tree is a "giving tree" is an understatement. In Shel Silverstein's popular tale of few words and simple line drawings, a tree starts out as a leafy playground, shade provider, and apple bearer for a rambunctious little boy. Making the boy happy makes the tree happy, but with time it becomes more challenging for the generous tree to meet his needs. When he asks for money, she suggests that he sell her apples. When he asks for a house, she offers her branches for lumber. When the boy is old, too old and sad to play in the tree, he asks the tree for a boat. She suggests that he cut her down to a stump so he can craft a boat out of her trunk. He unthinkingly does it. At this point in the story, the double-page spread shows a pathetic solitary stump, poignantly cut down to the heart the boy once carved into the tree as a child that said "M.E. + T." "And then the tree was happy... but not really." When there's nothing left of her, the boy returns again as an old man, needing a quiet place to sit and rest. The stump offers up her services, and he sits on it. "And the tree was happy." While the message of this book is unclear (Take and take and take? Give and give and give? Complete self-sacrifice is good? Complete self-sacrifice is infinitely sad?), Silverstein has perhaps deliberately left the book open to interpretation. (All ages) --Karin Snelson
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:20:04 -0400)
A young boy grows to manhood and old age experiencing the love and generosity of a tree which gives to him without thought of return.

Inno3D i-Chill GeForce GTS 250 with AC Twin Turbo Pro - Temperature and Sound TestsThe GTS 250 might be feeling a bit old, but companies are still mixing it up. We have a look at Inno3Ds version today.
Temperature Tests
With the TES 1326 Infrared Thermometer literally in hand we found ourselves getting real-world temperatures from the products we test at load (3D clock speeds).
There are two places we pull temperature from - the back of the card directly behind the core and if the card is dual slot and has an exhaust point we also pull a temperate from there, as seen in the picture.
The big cooler does an excellent job of keeping temperatures down.
Sound Tests
Pulling out the TES 1350A Sound Level Meter we find ourselves quickly yelling into the top of it to see how loud we can be.
After five minutes of that we get a bit more serious and place the device two CM away from the fan on the card to find the maximum noise level of the card when idle (2D mode) and in load (3D mode).
Noise levels with the Twin Turbo Cooler are pretty good with it giving similar levels to the other coolers we have here.

Oregon and Washington state and national parks suggestions
Hello all, I'm doing a little motorcycle tour of the PNW next week and hoping for some suggestions. The first day I'm blazing up the I-5 from Monterey, CA to Washington. I'm considering doing a saddle-sore 1000, which would be 1,017 miles from Monterey to the Canada border on I-5. If I don't to this I'll at least get a good 600 or 700 miles in the first day, with Seattle being my goal for the second day. Regardless, the trip up is going to be quick, so I'd love to hear some campground suggestions that are very close and accessable to I-5.
After a day in Seattle, I'm going to take my time (3 or 4 days) riding back home. So I'd also like to hear about places to see and camp that are not necessarily on I-5. I can easily take a jaunt to the coast, or inland towards the Cascades, etc. I know the PNW coast is probably great, but I'm already a little spoiled by living a mile from the coast, and being only about 1/2 an hour from the Big Sur coast anytime I want to ride it. I've also ridden to Crescent City and southern Oregon on the coast a number of times. The point I'm trying to make is that I'd just as happily see some cool places inland on this trip since the coast is not as much of a novelty to me as it would be for folks visiting from elsewhere. I've been to Crater Lake once (on a previous saddle-sore 1000 trip), and might swing by there again on the way home, I loved the area. But I'm very open to other suggestions as well, particularly scenic camprgounds that are open this time of year.
Thanks in advance.
PS- I try not to do any off-roading on solo trips (including fire-roads), so please keep that in mind when making suggestions.

Head east
Make your way over to 395 and head south. It'll be a bit chilly this time of year, but some spectacular scenery to behold. The stretch through the Blue Mountains from Ukiah down to John Day is especially beautiful. I'd like to be there right now...
We are not alone. There is ALWAYS someone downstream and downwind.

From John Day, where there is a State Park, the route through to Baker City, Halfway, Hells Canyon to Enterprise is really good. If you make Enterprise make sure you do the trip north on Oregon Hwy 3 and Washington Hwy 129 to Clarkson, Washington. Unreal!
Washington Hwy 129 north of Broggan's Oasis and the Grande Ronde River

Thanks for the suggestions gentlemen! Please keep them coming. 395 sounds like a great idea. I've been up 395 from southern California as far as Susanville, and I have to admit, I loved the scenery along that stretch. It would be neat to see it further north.
I also like your idea of the volcanoes Jim. In fact, If I don't do my saddlesore 1000 on the way up, my planned campsite for the first night is near the Mt. St. Helen's visitor center...Seaquest State Park. Maybe I'll incorporate both ideas and hit the mountains on the way up and 395 on the way back.

try highway 97
If you go up I-5, consider staying overnight at Valley of the Rogue State Park. Just off the freeway, between Medford and Grants Pass. That is splitting the distance better than Seaquest. For a return route, consider highway 97, sort of in between I-5 and 395. Better still go up that way and go back 395. Next week, you are going to be riding in the rain on I-5 in Oregon and Washington. Not much rain east of the Cascades on 97. There is a State Park north of Klamath falls. Have a good ride.

Included some links in the text, they're underlined...
Here you go, I got it planed out for you. When in Portland, head out I84 (Banfield Freeway) up the Columbia Gorge past Troutdale. Then a little further on you'll want to get on the Historic Columbia River Highway - it starts just outside Corbett a few minutes South of I84/US30 check on your map/gps. Continue on HCR Highway until the end. Just watch the road as moss grows in the shade and it can be a slick up there! Check out the waterfalls and scenery. There's also the Cascade Locks, it's fish hatcheries and Bonneville Dam.
After this, you'll join back up with US 30 then head East until Hood River. Stop off at the Full Sail Ale brewery have lunch then continue on 35 South (it's a few minutes East from the brewery. Stop off in/around Odell and there are a few Lavender farms that are quite picturesque or just continue on and swing around Mt. Hood to US 26 West then blast on to Govenment Camp and up to Timberline Lodge for some hot cocoa. It will be cold about now!
After Timberline, head back down to US 26 West and back to Portland and I 5 or (I'd do this if you're not under a time constraint) cut back on US 26 East (it really heads more South and East at this point and don't get back on 35), down to Warm Springs Indian Reservation and Madras. Just outside of Madras the road you'll want to take is 97 South, 26 and 97 cross so pay attention. Then continue to Metolius (nice camp ground here in Camp Sherman), Bend and beyond. At some point here you'll want to work way West back to I5 or enter CA through Klamath Falls.
That little jaunt from Portland could take all day if you're not careful!
In so far as camping, you could just pull off the road in the trees and toss out your bag, done that many a time.
Expect rain and if you head up into the Cascades (Mt.Hood area) it will get cold so be prepared. Just remember: wet and cold.
That should be good for a few hundred miles! Wish I could be there...
Once your back on your way to the border if your on I5, you could stop off in Ashland - that's where they make Brammo bikes and their HQ is there, it's also home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Ashland is about 10-15 minutes South of Medford - nice little town.
Good luck!

I'm with the others here to hop over the mountains.
Just note: The main road east out of Seattle, I-90, will be down to one lane in each direction next week (expect delays) so I'd recommend an alternate like Hiway 2 or 410 or go north and catch 20 - all scenic routes to the east side of the mountains.
We're expecting some rain this weekend and into next week.

Thanks again guys. Mr. Cairo, I really appreciate the detailed route advice!
Based on the rain forecast, I think I'm going to follow the popular advice of going up 97 instead of the I-5. I'm planning on staying the first night at Brooks Memorial State Park, in WA, just north of Goldendale. Like I said, my goal is to cover as much distance as possible the first day (I want to have a full day for Seattle on day 2). Goldendale is well beyond the 1/2 way point, and should be drier than going the I-5 corridor. The return trip will allow for more siteseeing, and also better weather is forecast later in the week.
So far my planned Seattle stops are; Hilleberg tents, Pike's Place market, and David Morgan clothing (Akubra hats). If the weather clears up for the second half of the week, like it's supposed to, I'll probably check out the Olympic Peninsula, and maybe work my way down to see Portland, since I've never been there, and hit a few scenic volcanos.

The PNW is amazing. I'm very biased. There is just such a huge variety of places to ride and do. That part about the tooling around the Olympic Peninsula is great too. Where ever you decide to go it'll be great and the people are good too.
The bit about the rain, I would suspect that you'll be riding in and out of down-pours, it won't be a solid sheet of water. Don't recall if somebody mentioned it but generally speaking the Western side of the states there are wet and the Eastern sides are dry. This has to do with the weather coming down from Alaska and the Coastal range getting the first dumping of rain then Cascade range getting what's left over for the most part.
Just to throw in my 2¢ on I5, it sucks. Unless you need to get from A to B in a hurry, don't take it- booooooring.
Have fun and take some pictures. Give us a follow up! I'm homesick already!

If you want to call it a day short of Brooks Memorial - there are camp grounds at Bend (Tumalo), Madras (Cove Palisades at Lake Billy Chinook), and just across from Biggs where 97 crosses the Columbia - that one is Maryhill State Park in WA.
If you are way ahead of schedule there is also a campground in Yakima.
I almost always see deer when I'm on 97.
97 will take you into Yakima - famous for the Miner Burger (at Union Gap).
From Yakima - hiway 12 and onto 410 is a scenic route across the mountains and will give you a close up view of Mt Rainier if its not in the clouds.
Alternately - cutting off of 97 at Selah the Canyon Road (821) into Ellensburg is twistier than the freeway and will drop you onto 90 into Seattle.

this route gets my pick 197 an off shoot is fun too.
another variation, after the Canyon Road out of Selah, near ellensburg, keep heading north, cross over pass to leavenworth, then keep heading north on 97, either to Canada and go west over via Manning Park, then south via Hwy 9 crossing at Abbotsford or.. 97 north and take Hwy 20 west, through North Cascades Park, ( side trip near concrete, turn north to Baker Lake ), near same area take south skagit highway to Hwy 9, take that south to Seattletropolis. Priceline ( search better bidding.com for what others have paid) will find deals this time of year.
another side trip if clear out, head up 542 to mt baker, on way back head south of bellingham to hwy 11, turns to chuckanut drive, when it straightens out stay to right and follow the water, go through la conner, conway, stanwood, keep going on it to avoid I-5 boredom.
worth a look at Seattle, EMP depending on your music tastes, watch when ordering salmon some tend to over cook for tourists. check weather every AM, passes may get snow or freeze this time of year,

Poppy seed-induced positive drug test spurs changes at Lawrence County hospital
A Lawrence County hospital and the county's Children and Youth Services agency agreed to pay $143,500 and change their policies to settle one of two federal "poppy seed" lawsuits filed over a county policy that automatically separated newborns from mothers who tested positive for opiates at delivery.
Elizabeth Mort in April 2010 ate a poppy seed bagel two hours before she went to Jameson Health System, where she tested positive for opiates in the predelivery screening. Based on that result, the county took custody of her daughter.
"I am happy that the changes made by (the agency) and the hospital will prevent similar situations to others in the future," said Mort, 24, of New Castle.
Lawyers for both sides filed a motion on Tuesday to dismiss the case. Lawyers and spokeswomen for the hospital and county agency couldn't be reached for comment.
Sara Rose, an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer who represented Mort, said one of the most important policy changes is that Jameson Health System will report a positive drug test to Children and Youth Services only when it's based on a test of the infant's meconium, or first bowel movement. In the case of eating poppy seeds, the "opiates" show up in a test of the mother's urine but not in the newborn's meconium, she said.
The hospital also agreed it would talk to parents first about the potential causes of a positive drug test before contacting the county agency.
"As a result of this case, the county agreed to evaluate its procedures to ensure that families had an opportunity to discuss any reason for the test results that come out of Jameson," said Marie Jones, a lawyer with the agency.
The hospital staff didn't tell Mort and the baby's father that there had been a positive test, so they had no warning when two police officers and two caseworkers knocked on their door the day after they returned home with their daughter, Rose said.
U.S. District Judge David Cercone ruled in pretrial motions in September that the county's policy of separating a mother from her newborn child "without any valid basis for doing so" was an arbitrary use of government power that "shocks the conscience."
In a separate lawsuit still pending, Eileen Bower of New Castle is suing the county agency and hospital for taking custody of her son for 75 days based on a test result that showed a "trace" of opiates.

Nina Dobrev Celebrates 25th BirthdayBy: Emily Greene - January 9, 2014
While many people may have a quarter-life crisis when they turn 25, Nina Dobrev celebrated with an award win and some of her famous friends.
The star of The Vampire Diaries turned 25 on Wednesday, January 9, just a day after she won the People's Choice Award for Favorite On-Screen Chemistry with co-star and on-again, off-again boyfriend Ian Somerhalder.
Not long after the awards show was over, the actress rang in her birthday at midnight with Somerhalder, friend Julianne Hough, as well as The Vampire Diaries writer Kevin Williamson.
Dobrev has already received many "Happy Birthday" wishes from celebrity friends and fans alike.
Somerhalder and Dobrev didn't simply accept their award for Best On-Screen Chemistry. The pair came prepared, joking about their breakup during their acceptance speech.
After discussing the relationship between their characters over the span of five years, Somerhalder brought up the elephant in the room – the couple's relationship (or lack thereof) status. The two started dating in real life, only to finally call it quits after three years of dating in May 2013.
"Then we broke up in real life," said Dobrev.
"And yet our characters are still dating on the show," said Somerhalder.
"It's a good thing it's not awkward," added Dobrev with a nervous laugh.
You can watch their exchange in the video below.

About My Score Deals
At MyScore.com you can enjoy unlimited access to your credit reports and free credit score, along with triple bureau credit monitoring and e-mail alerts that notify you of any critical changes to your credit score. A credit score summarizes your entire credit report information into one number. This number is calculated by a mathematical equation that evaluates many types of information from your credit report at that particular credit-reporting agency. By comparing this information to the patterns in thousands of past credit reports, scoring identifies your level of credit risk. Your score tells a lender how likely you are to repay a loan, or make credit payments on time. The higher your score is, the better chance you have of getting the credit you apply for. There are many types of score factors that can have a positive or negative effect on your score. Some examples of score factors include but are not limited to too many inquiries, too many serious delinquencies and average balance of revolving accounts is too high. Credit scores are one of the main tools creditors, employers, insurance and finance companies rely on to determine your creditworthiness. Your score is a quick snapshot that is often used when credit decisions are made quickly. Your credit score and good maintenance of it are extremely important, and therefore you should keep a close monitoring on your credit score and any changes. Start keeping close tabs on your credit score with My Score, and be sure to use your My Score coupon code to redeem special offers.

2005 Suzuki Reno Q&A
2005 Suzuki Reno Question: engine cam problem
The engine light came on while driving, took to dealer, he said it was a cam switch problem. What would be the approximate cost of this repair. He said we could drive it, but the car could 'quit' at any time. ??? any comments? - msmsms
Answer 1
Sounds like you mean 'Camshaft Positon Sensor' (CMP) malfunction. The car may run with this problem but you need to address it. Your emissions will be up, your gas consumption will be down and the engine won't run right. It also won't last as long as it would if it were running right.

An incredibly massive planet has been discovered orbiting a star at an amazing distance. The discovery is challenging what scientists think they know about planetary formation.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Technology
Keywords: planet, star, orbit, mass, size, magellan telescope
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The planet, HD 106906b, orbits a star that is much like the Sun, but does so at a distance of 60 billion miles. This is 650 times the distance between the Earth and the Sun and far more distant than should be for a planet of that size.
The planet is also has 11 times the mass of Jupiter which is also incredible.
The planet was photographed by the Magellan Telescope in Chile's High Atacama desert. The telescope uses new technology to correct for atmospheric distortion which gives its images a clarity that matches those captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.
Scientists believe that planets, especially large ones, should form from rock and dust close to their parent star. Our Solar System is the textbook example of this. Under current models, massive planets should not form at such a distance from their parent star.
In other words, what they have observed should be impossible.
The planet is also estimated to be quite young, just 13 million years old. Compare that with Earth and the other planets of our solar system, which are about 5 billion years old.
Despite the eye-popping incongruity with current models, scientists believe they have a theory which could account for the massive planet and its place in orbit. The planet may actually be a failed star which started to form, then ran out of material to grow.
Stars and planets form as dust and gas clump together in space and eventually enough material is gathered that a planet forms. Above a certain point, the material, mostly hydrogen, which is the most abundant element in the universe, will fuse and cause the clump of matter to become a star instead of a planet.
However, if the clump cannot accrete enough material, it will never switch on because there is too little pressure to begin fusion in its core. This is how Jupiter-sized planets form.
Scientists think the latter scenario is the correct one in this case. Given the young age of the planet, they think it is actually a failed star that could not accrete enough mass to turn on. It happens to orbit at the correct distance.
Still, it's a rare and impressive find, and one that reminds us that despite what we think we know, we only know a fraction of what's out there.

Opening June 19th!
Main Street Theatre Works is pleased to open the 2015 Summer Season at the Kennedy Mine Amphitheatre in Jackson with Chemical Imbalance: A Jekyll and Hyde Play ~ a warped retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Lauren Wilson, who wrote last summer's smash hit, The Golden State, takes a comical stab at this horror classic. While Wilson's play will keep you on the edge of your seat, it's not because you're dying of fright, but because you'll be dying of laughter.
The San Francisco Examiner says, "An evening of exhilarating entertainment ... An inventive, original comedy of horrors." Chemical Imbalance: A Jekyll and Hyde Play runs every Friday and Saturday, June 19th - July 18th.
Kennedy Mine Amphitheatre, Jackson
Fridays and Saturdays, June 19th - July 18th
$17.50 General Admission - $12 Students 18 & Under
$49 Family Package (2 General Admission; 2 Students)
Gates open at 6:30pm for picnicking. Show at 8pm.
Suggested items to bring: picnic dinner, wine, jacket (for cool summer evenings), blanket, low-back chair (provided by MSTW for season ticket holders), and mosquito repellant.
Click here to read more about the 2015 summer season. For tickets, gift certificates, box office and directions, click here.
Opening in August...
Rounding out MSTW's season will be Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. Written by Christopher Durang, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike is the winner of the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play, as well as numerous other industry awards. A hilarious spoof on several of Chekhov's best known characters, but you don't need to be a Chekhov fan to enjoy this zany comedy. Click here to read more about the 2015 summer season.

In this month alone the sport of mixed martial arts opened up to nearly 80 million homes in North America through network television deals. This is indicative of the growing phenomenon which is the rise of interest in MMA across the board.
"Mixed martial arts has captured the imagination of millions of viewers through the power of free televised coverage, and will continue to gain ground on other sports such as hockey this year as NHL labour disputes persist", says Jatinder Dhoot, Managing Editor of The MMA Digest, a Canadian based organization.
However, the soaring popularity of the sport is not solely a North American trend - MMA is showing global appeal in nations such as India, China, the Philippines, and especially Brazil, which is expected to host 12 UFC events in 2013.
"There's a purity in the sport of mixed martial arts that strikes a chord in people from all walks of life, and seems to transcend political and cultural borders", notes Ashuthosh Jha, Publisher of The MMA Digest. "Whether it's a massive pay-per-view event in Las Vegas or an amateur card in a remote town overseas, fans still show the same passion and enthusiasm for the athletes competing inside the cage."
TheMMAdigest.com has a plethora of new articles and interviews to read through and is offering a free trivia book to visitors for a limited time. Log onto TheMMAdigest.com today for all your MMA needs and to take advantage of the free trivia book offer.

Unemployment and poverty have skyrocketed under President Obama's watch and now, according to the Wall Street Journal and new Census data, at least one person in nearly half of American households receive some kind of government benefit.
Families were more dependent on government programs than ever last year.
Nearly half, 48.5%, of the population lived in a household that received some type of government benefit in the first quarter of 2010, according to Census data. Those numbers have risen since the middle of the recession when 44.4% lived households receiving benefits in the third quarter of 2008.
The share of people relying on government benefits has reached a historic high, in large part from the deep recession and meager recovery, but also because of the expansion of government programs over the years. (See a timeline on the history of government benefits programs here.)
Means-tested programs, designed to help the needy, accounted for the largest share of recipients last year. Some 34.2% of Americans lived in a household that received benefits such as food stamps, subsidized housing, cash welfare or Medicaid (the federal-state health care program for the poor).
Another 14.5% lived in homes where someone was on Medicare (the health care program for the elderly). Nearly 16% lived in households receiving Social Security.
The article also mentioned high unemployment rates have resulted in less taxpayers, which has resulted in an even greater strain on the government entitlement system.

If the NFL's three-day negotiating period revealed anything, it was that the Minnesota Vikings aren't as excited about free agent receiver Mike Wallace as some of you have thought or hoped. Nothing that has happened so far is binding, meaning the Vikings could jump into the fray at any time, but for the moment ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that "the league-wide expectation" is Wallace will sign as early as Tuesday with the Miami Dolphins.
Sports Illustrated's Peter King, meanwhile, reported: "Miami didn't have much, if any, competition for a big-money deal" with Wallace.
Frankly, if you're surprised by this development, you haven't been paying attention. Vikings general manager Rick Spielman has repeated his team-building philosophy often in the year since he was promoted to this role: He would acquire blue-chip players via the draft and supplement the roster via free agency. At the very least, he would have been making a significant exception to pursue Wallace.
Serious involvement in those negotiations would require a commitment probably of $11 million annually or more. In the video, Schefter said Wallace will be the only player in free agency to get a deal that exceeds $10 million annually. The Vikings have the salary cap space to do it, but the ramifications would be notable. Among others, it would suggest the Vikings have no plans to extend receiver Percy Harvin's contract and would have limited leverage in subsequent trade talks.
I think we can all agree the Vikings need to upgrade their receiving corps. Pursuing Wallace is one avenue, and conceivably it could still come to fruition. But history and precedent tells us the Vikings' likeliest path was not through signing the most coveted player in free agency.
