College Hockey:Approval of Expanded NCAA Women's Tournament Closer
INDIANAPOLIS — The Division I Championships and Competition Cabinet has recommended the approval of the expansion of the NCAA Division I women's tournament to eight teams from its current four, beginning with the 2004-05 season. The decision was made at its regular meeting last week in Indianapolis. It still faces approval from the Budget Committee and Management Council.
As rationale for its recommendation, the Cabinet noted:
- Gross receipts for the championship have increased each of the three years it has been conducted.
- Championship attendance has continued to grow during the last three years (i.e., 2001 — 3,866; 2002 — 4,885; 2003 — 9,988).
- The number of club teams sponsoring the sport has grown steadily (approximately 20 institutions currently).
- Several institutions have recently reclassified their women's hockey programs to Division I.
- Sponsorship numbers have increased each year since 1996 (from 12 to 30).
- With the addition of College Hockey America and the Hockey East Conference, the number of Division I conferences sponsoring the sport has grown from two to four in the last two years. These conferences likely will be eligible for an automatic bid. Currently, all teams are selected at large.
- Expanding the bracket to eight will provide more student-athletes an opportunity to experience championship competition. In addition, it will provide more teams the possibility of being selected, thereby enhancing the growth potential of the sport.
The Cabinet also awarded the host site for the 2005 NCAA women's tournament to New Hampshire, the 2006 tournament to Minnesota's Mariucci Arena, and the 2007 tournament to St. Lawrence and the Olympic Regional Development Authority in Lake Placid, N.Y.

According to an Aug. 13 post from Bleacher Report, the full card for this weekend's SummerSlam pay-per-view spectacular has been finalized. After months of planning, SummerSlam is now complete. The event, which airs both on the WWE Network and pay-per-view, goes down Aug. 17 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. It begins at 8 p.m. in the east.
SummerSlam opens with a kickoff show on the WWE Network, 30 minutes prior to the main card. The kickoff show was originally slated to feature a tag team title fight, but those plans appear to have been scrapped. At present time, the SummerSlam kickoff show will have commentary and analysis from several current and former WWE superstars.
Originally, The Usos were projected to put their tag team titles on the line against The Wyatt Family, The Brotherhood and Rybaxel, in a Fatal 4-Way bout on the SummerSlam kickoff show. For reasons that weren't disclosed to the public, the kickoff show will instead feature a slew of WWE personalities discussing the main card matches. The first bout of the night is expected to be Rusev against Jack Swagger.
Rusev vs. Swagger, which kicks off the SummerSlam main card, will be a Flag Match for national pride. Rusev will be representing Russia, while Swagger fights for the United States. This one could be a squash match in Rusev's favor, since he's been getting a huge push as an unstoppable heel. Next on the agenda, Dolph Ziggler goes up against The Miz, in a fight for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
Also on the SummerSlam main card, Chris Jericho continues his feud with Bray Wyatt, in a singles match that is a rematch from last month's Battleground event. Since Jericho beat Wyatt at Battleground, not many would be surprised to see the heel win this time around. Wyatt and Jericho have great chemistry inside the ring, so this is a feud that could go on for several more years to come.
Later on the SummerSlam pay-per-view, Brie Bella wraps up her feud with Stephanie McMahon, with a singles match. Bella and McMahon have been feuding for over a month, with one of the hottest angles the WWE has going. McMahon slapped Bella in the face, but the WWE Divas superstar also caused some damage of her own to the WWE head honcho's face. The likely scenario is that Bella will win here, which would earn her her job back on the WWE Divas Division roster.
Elsewhere at SummerSlam, Roman Reigns takes on Randy Orton, in a bout that could determine who is next in line for a shot at the WWE Heavyweight Championship. Reigns has been getting a major push as the WWE's next great babyface, so the stars are aligned for him to get his shot. Chances are, Brock Lesnar will defeat Cena in the SummerSlam main event, and Reigns will edge Orton.
That scenario would set up an exciting clash between Reigns and Lesnar at Wrestlemania 31. Also on tap for SummerSlam, AJ Lee puts her WWE Divas Championship on the line against Paige, and Dean Ambrose battles Seth Rollins in a Lumberjack Match. In the SummerSlam main event, it'll be the rubber match in one of the greatest trilogies in WWE history, as Lesnar collides with Cena.
The score between Lesnar and Cena is tied at one-all, since each man has defeated the other. WWE Universe expects Lesnar to earn the win over Cena at SummerSlam, to set up a clash between him and Reigns at Wrestlemania 31. Of course, the WWE could script an entirely different scenario, to throw fans for a loop. SummerSlam goes down Aug. 17 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

"What matters most are the simple pleasures so abundant that we can all enjoy them…Happiness doesn't lie in the objects we gather around us. To find it, all we need to do is open our eyes."
– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
If a new Peruvian restaurant opens in Buenos Aires and Henry and I haven't rushed to it, did it really open? Sometimes it seems like whenever we go out, Peruvian food is what we head for. I have to start balancing that, I mean, Henry shouldn't always get his way, right? But, we heard about a new spot (4 months old) over near the Abasto, and we headed out for El Principe, Lavalle 3502, 4866-6761. Now, we'd looked at their Facebook page and it had a bit of an elegant look to it – white tablecloths and wine glasses showing in the photos. Turns out that that's a bit staged – there are white tablecloths with red sashes across them, but they're kind of cheap and they're underneath plastic, which they aren't in the photos. And they do have wine glasses, just not on the tables. It looks pretty much like a typical Peruvian dive for the neighborhood, with music blaring from one side and a television mounted on the wall and blaring out a movie (one of the Terminator films) at the same time.
Despite the fact that the place opens at 8, and we'd arrived at 8:30, they hadn't yet turned on the lights, nor the heat. The woman who greeted us spent most of her time attending to her two kids who were busy being kids. She did manage to get everything turned on, bring us menus, and kinda sorta take an order from us, as it turned out, the waiter hadn't arrived yet. Neither had the cook. But she dutifully put our order on the counter, and then when the waiter came in the door, pointed it out to him and walked out with the kids. So he came over to us and confirmed the order, told us the cook was just about to arrive, so it would be a little while. Hmmm… we settled in with a couple of pisco sours that he whipped up – pretty good ones too.
About half an hour on our appetizers arrived – I got a chicken tamal (the woman had said that she was quite sure they only had pork ones, but the waiter corrected that). A quite good tamal as it turned out – the masa ground a little finer than I'm used to, but Henry says that's typical of the better places in Peru, the coarse ground is more homestlye fare.
Henry had anticuchos – nicely spicy, though we felt the meat was a little too salty. However, when combined with the papas a la huancaina, which was one of the better ones we've had here, it worked really well. Based on flavor, I'd say their huancaina sauce is made with toasted peanuts rather than walnuts.
I went with a pollada for my main course. This is an interesting dish that's primarily as I understand it from the north. The dish itself is kind of basic – a marinated and spiced chicken quarter that's then deep fried without a batter, served with potatoes and salad. The story behind it is it's a simple dish that is served to raise money for someone who is very ill. When the family can't afford to pay for their treatment, they put on a big pollada dinner and everyone in the neighborhood comes and contributes. The theory is, I guess, that since they're getting food, it's not just a handout or charity – so everyone "saves face" – an interesting influence I think from the Chinese and Japanese cultures in Peru. It's a good dish, though I would have liked a little more spice, and we were both surprised that the boiled potatoes were ice cold.
Most of the menu consisted of the usual suspects, but there were a couple of dishes that we don't usually see – actually, the pollada above is one that I've rarely seen on a menu here. Henry ordered the pato con ají, or duck with chili. Really nice changeup from the usual green sauced pato con arroz, although it still has rice and beans, just a different spicing. Great dish, though we both thought the beans needed a little more seasoning.
Overall, the room is pretty basic, as many in the 'hood are. Service, once the waiter arrived, was friendly and efficient – and it turns out that their official opening hour is 8:30, and just who knows why when we called the woman told us they'd be open between 7:45/8? It does seem a bit weird that the cook wouldn't arrive until last minute – which implies that a lot of the stuff is probably premade and sitting around – of course, it's also possible he'd been in earlier, prepped things, and had just stepped out until the official opening time. The food was all good, a step up from most of the places along, say, Corrientes, though probably not quite as good as Mamani, which used to be our go-to spot for Peruvian home cooking until it got really pricey, though we still go at times. El Principe has nicer ambiance and is definitely cheaper, though not as cheap as the holes in the wall along the avenue – all told, with four dishes, two bottles of water, and three pisco sours, dinner ran 300 pesos, with 100 of that being the three cocktails (which, let's face it, with the tarifa azul means it's only about a $35 dinner for two). Recommended.

Aluminum Nokia Catwalk (Lumia 920 successor) coming to T-Mobile "in the summer". Lumia 928 at Verizon
Nokia may soon have flagship devices on sale at three of the 'big four' US carriers. That's so far never happened since the Finns turned to Windows Phone for their smartphone operating system needs. Sure, we've had Lumias on more than one carrier, but the flagships were usually AT&T-only.
That's about to change. The Nokia Catwalk will be a successor of sorts to the Lumia 920, although it will come with very similar specs. The biggest change though will be in terms of the materials used for its construction. The Catwalk is rumored to be the first Lumia to come with an aluminum casing, dropping the polycarbonate that has so far been featured in all of Nokia's Windows Phones.
The Catwalk will be sold by T-Mobile starting this summer, according to The Verge. But T-Mobile won't be the only US carrier to sport a new high-end Nokia soon.
Verizon will also get its very own version of the Lumia 920. This device, codenamed Laser, could be sold as the Lumia 928. Verizon and Microsoft are going to do a big marketing push for this phone.
And just to recap, AT&T is said to be the exclusive carrier for the upcoming Nokia smartphone codenamed EOS, the one that's supposed to take the insane 41 MP camera sensor from the 808 PureView and pair it with the Windows Phone operating system.

we ask the developers themselves to close the sprint once they completed the sprint. Just want to confirm, if it has to be closed by TL after he reviewed the tasks completion.
The Product Owner should be responsible for closing a verified sprint after a successful demo has been done. The PO should check whether the stories have been "done" to completion in that they meet the correct acceptance criteria.
The developers can "close" the sprint, but the PO needs to verify the completeness of them and "officially" close the sprint and call it done.

Former Big Green cross-country and track and field standout Alexi Pappas '12 is running faster than ever, all while showing off her creative side, reports ESPN.
Instead of wearing a traditional track and field singlet during competitions, Pappas sports homemade versions of the uniform, like one with polka dots and stripes and another with the Spider-Man emblem. "A race will always hurt whether it's slow or fast or good or bad, so if I can, I like to think about little things that make me smile," Pappas tells ESPN.
The article talks about Pappas' success as a runner, and also focuses on her other passion—performing and filmmaking. "I'm a runner and a performer-writer-filmmaker. I would like to be taken seriously as both."
Tall as the Baobab Tree, a film Pappas co-wrote with Jeremy Teicher '10, debuted at several film festivals this year, including the Doha Tribeca Film Festival and the San Francisco International Film Festival, ESPN notes.
This fall, according to ESPN, Pappas will begin running professionally as a member of the Oregon Track Club.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Bob Gainey won the Selke Trophy the first four times it was awarded by the NHL, and until recently it often went to a forward who lacked elite offensive numbers.
There were some exceptions, like Bobby Clarke in 1983, Troy Murray in 1986 and a four-year run in the mid-1990s, but until 2006 it was more often than not the case. Teams deployed check-first centers to combat the best offensive players.
That philosophy changed for many teams around the NHL and caused a shift in the Selke Trophy voting. Rod Brind'Amour won twice and Pavel Datsyuk three times, and suddenly a defensive award was going to a great offensive player.
The responsibilities for a No. 1 center in the NHL have changed, and the Western Conference Second Round series between the Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings should be another example of that.
Anze Kopitar, a first-time Selke finalist, has evolved into one of the best all-around players in the world and is the No. 1 center for the Kings. Ryan Getzlaf, a Hart Trophy finalist and No. 1 center for the Ducks, is part of a group of franchise centers who excel at both ends of the ice; it includes Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks, Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins, David Backes of the St. Louis Blues, and Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg of the Detroit Red Wings.
"I think it goes in waves in what you have and similarities between players because of the way players are coached, drafted or all that on the development side. There is something that is working so everyone goes and does that," Los Angeles defenseman Robyn Regehr said. "I think right now we're in that wave of extremely strong, skilled, big, responsible centermen. They are a huge part for the teams that are winning. Those are the main centerpieces that those teams are built around, that and goaltending.
"What the reason for that is, I'm not sure, but I'd guess it is about the development being done beforehand to get those players to come up and be that way. Then it becomes how the coaches are allotting the ice time. I think coaches are pushing guys to be that way, and they are responding."
Getzlaf and Kopitar may see a lot of each other on the ice in this series, which begins Saturday at Honda Center (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN, RDS, TSN)
When the Kings eliminated the San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference First Round, Kopitar and Mike Richards played the most minutes against Joe Thornton and Logan Couture, San Jose's top two centers. Kopitar's line saw Couture's the most, and he had zero points in the final four games of the seven-game series, all won by Los Angeles.
In previous eras, the standard line of thinking was teams had offensive forwards and checking forwards; now the lines have been blurred. Kopitar, Toews and Bergeron (the three Selke finalists this year) get deployed against the opposing team's top players. Getzlaf wasn't always considered that type of player but he's grown into the role.
Kopitar and Getzlaf were among the top 30 forwards in the NHL in quality of forwards competition (QoC) and the top 20 in overall QoC, according to the metrics at ExtraSkater.com.
"[Kopitar] is a great hockey player," Getzlaf said. "I got a lot of respect for [Kopitar]. He plays the right way. He does things the right way. I welcome that challenge. It's a lot like the last series with [Jamie] Benn."
The Kings are the deeper team at center, so coach Darryl Sutter doesn't need to deploy Kopitar against Getzlaf, who finished second in the regular season with 87 points. Richards is considered a strong defensive center, and that could allow Kopitar the chance to go against one of Anaheim's other options.
Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau will have more say in the matchups for the start of the series.
"I'm still thinking about that," Boudreau said Thursday. "They've got a big line in [Marian] Gaborik, [Dustin] Brown and Kopitar. When I mean big, I mean size. We've got Getzlaf, [Corey] Perry and [Matt] Beleskey and they're big too. It might be a good fit. I have to go through all my notes and see who we matched up and how we matched up and what we did in those matchups before I decide."
Kopitar was one of Los Angeles' best players when the Kings won the Stanley Cup in 2012, and he had a great showing at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, helping Slovenia, which had no other NHL players, win two games and reach the quarterfinals.
Kopitar led the Kings with 29 goals and 70 points this season and likely earned some Hart Trophy votes.
"With Anze, he's just so responsible in all three zones," Regehr said. "In the defensive zone, he uses his size and strength to be responsible and be in the right areas shutting guys down, banging guys off the puck. Through the neutral zone, he's a lot of fun to watch. He either makes the move or gets the puck to the right person. Very rarely does he not get us through the neutral zone. You almost get used to how well he does it. In the offensive zone, he's the reverse of the defensive zone. He uses that body to shield the puck, keep bodies off him and control the puck, control plays down low."
Sutter definitely liked playing Kopitar against Getzlaf during the regular season. The Ducks captain saw more ice time against Kopitar than any other center in the League except for Thornton, Pavelski (who played on Thornton's wing a lot) and Sam Gagner of the Edmonton Oilers.
Boudreau may look to avoid that matchup. When Getzlaf was on the ice against Kopitar at even strength, the Ducks had 24.5 percent of the shot attempts (Corsi).
"The guy is just flat-out good," Boudreau said of Kopitar. "I think he's up there with the best in the world. If you're playing against him, you'd better be ready because he can play both ends of the ice and he can do it all."
Part of dealing with Getzlaf means playing against trusted sidekick Perry as well. They've been one of the most productive duos in the NHL for years.
Perry won the Hart Trophy in 2011, and Getzlaf became an MVP candidate this season after setting a career-high with 31 goals.
"Those two have been together a long time," Kings defenseman Jake Muzzin said. "They have a lot of chemistry together and they kind of know where they are going to be on certain plays. We have to be very clear with where they are on the ice and be very vocal with each other on how we defend that top line."

I always keep some frozen puff pastry handy for whipping up delicious desserts like this. These Strawberry Nutella Pastry Bites are simple but elegant, and so tasty! You really can't go wrong with strawberries and chocolate. Especially when you add flaky puff pastry to the mix. The first time I tried making them, I only spread Nutella on half of the pastry, but it didn't seem like quite enough. When I made them again with Nutella on both sides, my whole family agreed that they were perfect!
Really, you can cut your puff pastry into any shape or size you'd like for this dessert, but I think this is the perfect size for serving at a party or get together. They're easy to pick up and can be eaten in a few bites without being messy. The recipe does make quite a few, but don't worry, they'll be gone in no time!
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 3/4 cup Nutella chocolate hazelnut spread
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheet onto a floured surface. Cut puff pastry along seams to make 3 large rectangles. Cut each rectangle into 7 1-inch strips. You should have 21 strips.
- Arrange puff pastry strips on a large baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden. Cool completely.
- Cut each pastry in half horizontally (you should be able to make a "sandwich" with the pastry after it's been cut). Spread Nutella over both halves of each pastry.
- Layer 2-3 strawberry slices over the bottom half of each pastry, then top with the second half. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.

In a Monday story in The Space Review, R.D. Boozer, a frequent critic of NASA and a commercial space advocate, suggested that the Space Launch System, the heavy lift rocket that is envisioned to launch astronauts beyond low Earth orbit, is essentially doomed. He cited a number of reports, including a recent one by the General Accounting Office, which have focused on problems surrounding the rocket. However the actual GAO report is not quite as dire as Boozer suggests.
The article also makes a number of unsupported claims, such as the suggestion that "there are no payloads in development that are large enough to justify a rocket of its size." In fact the SLS is the only planned launch system that can deliver large payloads such as the Orion spacecraft beyond low Earth orbit. Any other launch vehicle, planned or in existence, would require many multiple launches that would make any space exploration mission problematic,
Essentially the GAO reported that the Space Launch System program is "making solid progress" in the design of the heavy lift rocket. The GAO did find that there is a mismatch between available funding and the requirements to get the SLS ready on time for a planned December, 2017 launch. The launch date may well slip as far as October, 2018 unless a funding shortfall of $400 million is dealt with.
Another problem the GAO found is that NASA has not found any specific missions for the rocket past a planned 2021 flight, which is the second thus far on the SLS's manifest. This problem was focused on in a recent NASASpaceFlight.com piece that suggested that NASA managers are scrambling to develop other missions for the heavy lifter. A robotic mission to Europa is mentioned as a strong possibility.
Boozer hints that a wiser idea would be to go with SpaceX's planned Falcon Heavy, a less capable rocket that has in any case has had its first launch delayed by at least two years. Another idea would be to block grant some of the money being spent on the Space Launch System to SpaceX in hopes it can build a comparable rocket at less cost. But the problem may be less about rocket design and more about how the government is approaching space exploration.
Ever since President Obama cancelled the Constellation return to the moon program, NASA's space exploration program has been in a state of chaos. The president's preferred mission to an asteroid has been downsized to capturing a tiny asteroid and placing it in lunar orbit to be visited by American astronauts. This approach has been roundly criticized by many outside analysts, including the National Research Council.
This all goes back to the GAO report about there being a lack of missions being manifest. NASA cannot decide where it wants to go beyond low Earth orbit, except eventually to Mars, because there is indecision and dithering beyond the pay grade of the NASA administrator. The matter will likely not be cleared up until after the next president is sworn into office. In the meantime the plan is to proceed with the SLS and the Orion spacecraft so that they might be ready once a solid plan is in place.

Researchers at the University of Leeds found that the normal prions produced by the body help to prevent the plaques that build up in the brain to cause Alzheimer's disease.
"In vCJD, the normal version of prion protein, PrPc, found naturally in the brain, is corrupted by infectious prions to cause disease. Our experiments have shown that the normal prion proteins found in brain cells reduce the formation of beta amyloid, a protein that binds with others to build plaques in the brain that are found in Alzheimer's disease," explains Nigel Hooper, Ph.D., a professor at Leeds and leader of the research.
Using cells grown in the lab, the team looked at the effect of high and low levels of normal prion protein in the successful formation of beta amyloid. They found that beta amyloid did not form in cells with higher than usual levels of PrPc. In comparison, when the level of PrPc was low or absent, beta amyloid formation was found to go back up again.
Mice genetically engineered to lack PrPc were also studied. Again, this revealed that in its absence, the harmful beta amyloid proteins were able to form.
It appears that PrPc, the normal prion protein, exerts its beneficial effect by stopping beta secretase from cutting up amyloid protein into the smaller beta amyloid fragments needed to build plaques.

Mock draft reports have been all over the place in predicting who the Jacksonville Jaguars will select in the 2011 NFL draft. One thing everyone agrees on, though, is that the Jaguars need a solid defensive player with the offense in the stable hands of Pro Bowl running back Maurice Jones-Drew.
Now that the official 2011 draft order for non playoff teams has been released, it's time to revisit some of the Jaguars' potentials in the No. 16 slot.
Jacksonville Jaguars – Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa
Last year, they selected Tyson Alualu, a defensive end/tackle hybrid athlete who we felt was a 2nd or 3rd round value. And while most agreed with our evaluation, I'll admit, we were wrong on Alualu. He's been very solid for this team and looks like a long-term starter. However, in this hybrid 3-4/4-3 defense, they need help opposite him, which is where Clayborn comes in. He can play defensive end in either set, and can complement Alualu for years to come.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue Boilmakers
Last season, Ryan Kerrigan led the nation with 26 tackles for a loss, becoming virtually impossible for opponents to block, even when facing double-team scenarios. Todd McShay has Kerrigan going 18th to the New England Patriots, saying "Kerrigan is probably higher on our board than on most others, but very few players with his touchiness, pass-rushing savvy, a nonstop motor and passion for the game fail to contribute in the NFL."
Jacksonville Jaguars: J.J. Watt, DE, Wisconsin
Wisconsin's J.J. Watt actually began his college career as a tight end at Central Michigan but since joining the Badgers he has developed into a 6-6, 292 pound impact defensive lineman. Watt isn't an elite natural pass rusher but he is relentless with a non-stop motor and versatile enough to play either end or tackle in multiple defensive schemes.
Here is the full 2011 NFL draft order.
1. Panthers (2-14)
2. Broncos (4-12)
3. Bills (4-12)
4. Bengals (4-12)
5. Cardinals (5-11)
6. Browns (5-11)
7. 49ers (6-10)
8. Titans (6-10)
9. Cowboys (6-10)
10. Redskins (6-10)
11. Texans (6-10)
12. Vikings (6-10)
13. Lions (6-10)
14. Dolphins (7-9)
15. Rams (8-8)
16. Jaguars (8-8)
17. Patriots (from 8-8 Raiders)
18. Chargers (9-7)
19. Giants (10-6)
20. Buccaneers (10-6)

The Portobello mushroom is an enormous version of the Cremini mushroom. These large-topped mushrooms can be a bit expensive but a wonderful treat when you serve them up. They have a robust flavor and can be grilled, broiled, sautéed or baked.
This recipe requires the mushrooms to be baked and when they come out of the oven they will look exactly as the picture depicts them. They are hot, flavorful, and cheesy with just a touch of spices that doesn't take away from the mushroom itself.
- 1 pound of fresh Portobello mushrooms
- 2 cups sausage crumbles
- ½ cup of seasoned bread crumbs
- ¼ cup of shredded Mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup of shredded Cheddar cheese
- ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon of basil
- ½ teaspoon of oregano
- Preheat oven to 350'.
- Take the mushrooms and remove the stems, clean them by removing the brown gills inside and set aside.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl combine the remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Take one mushroom and cut it into small bite-sized chunks and set aside.
- Spoon the mixture into the centers of each mushroom and place on a cookie sheet coated with cooking spray.
- Sprinkle some of the chopped mushroom over the top of the mushroom stuffing.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Check the mushrooms to make sure the cheese is melted and the tops are lightly browned.
- Enjoy!

By now, most of you have either downloaded or are at least aware of Google Earth. The program, which utilizes satellite imagery and aerial photographs to map the earth in amazing detail, can be used for a variety of reasons. Some people use it to locate areas they have lived or traveled, while others use it to visit remote places of the planet that one would not otherwise be able to see. I belong to this group, as I am sure many others are as well. Google Earth is the perfect tool to explore and discover the physical remains of ancient cultures or unexplained anomalies found throughout this wonderful world. Believe it or not, amazing discoveries have been found using this program.
In this article I have identified ten mysterious places on Google Earth (in no particular order) that I have found quite fascinating. In addition to the photographs imaged through Google Earth, I have also provided a brief description of the area and its actual coordinates so you can visit these strange and fascinating places yourself through Google Earth. Please click these photos to see them in larger size.
10. The Badlands Guardian. Coordinates: 50° 0'36.30″N, 110° 6'46.82″W. The Badlands Guardian was one of those mysterious places that was first discovered by Lynn Hickox utilizing the Google Earth program. Although this area is a completely natural geological feature in southwest Alberta, Canada, one cannot help but notice the striking resemblance of a human head wearing his full native American headdress. Some have also claimed that the figure appears to be wearing earphones, which is nothing more than a road leading to an oil well. Even though this area is a natural formation, it is amazingly ironic to see these arid badlands formations resemble the fully detailed shape of the very same indigenous people that lived in these lands.
9. Egyptian Ruins. Coordinates: 29°32'7.65″N, 30°40'7.88″E. It doesn't take long to discover an interesting find when using Google Earth to explore the shifting sands of Egypt. As you can see from this attached image, the angles and straight lines of what appears to be a fortification wall protecting smaller similar structures in the interior. If you use Google Earth to explore the surrounding area, you can see additional suspected man made ruins buried in the desert sand. I am not sure if the ruins captioned in this photograph have been thoroughly explored, but experts do state only a fraction of ancient Egypt has been discovered. Every year new tombs, structures and even pyramids are rediscovered in this ancient land.
8. Machu Picchu. Coordinates: 13° 9'49.69″S, 72°32'42.65″W. Located on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu is considered one of the most mystical sites on our planet. Machu Picchu is a pre-Columbian Inca site built around 1400 AD. The area only thrived for 100 years and the place was abandoned following the Spanish conquest of the Inca empire in Peru. Theories of its purpose range from it being the birthplace of the Incan"Virgins of the Suns", an estate of the Incan emperor Pachacuti, a prison for the select few who commit extremely heinous crimes or as a settlement to control the economy of the conquered lands. For more information on Machu Picchu, please see our article here.

Ambassador Uriel Palti's visit to the Sun Newspapers Ltd
Ambassador Uriel Palti and Wife with Mr. Tony Onyima, MD/Editor-in-Chief, Sun Newspaper
The Israeli Embassy in Nigeria is establishing an economic platform, as part of efforts to deepen bilateral relations between the two countries.
The platform will enable Nigerian and Israeli businessmen to meet and explore investment opportunities in both countries.
This was disclosed yesterday by the new Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria, Uriel Palti, during a courtesy visit to the headquarters of The Sun Publishing Limited.
He said arrangement for an economic summit in Nigeria was already in the pipeline. The summit, according to him, will enable Israeli businessmen to appreciate Nigeria's economy.
While noting that there is still much to do between Nigeria and Israel, in order to have balance trade exchange, Uriel said: "We want to convince Israeli businessmen and show them the potentials that abound in Nigeria's economy."
He stressed the importance of the Nigerian-Israeli Chamber of Commerce in increasing business ties between the two countries.
The envoy said his plan of action would concentrate on areas he described as crucial to the overall development of Nigeria. They include agriculture, irrigation, education and fight against international terrorism.
He was however, quick to say Nigeria, as a great country, with great potentials, does not need external assistance to survive.
"Even as we talk now, there is a suggestion for us to increase the number of our consulates in Nigeria because we have a report that says by 2015, the population of Nigeria will explode," he said.
Uriel said the common experience of both countries has made government and people of Israel to have great feelings for Nigeria. He was particular about the activities of insurgents.
"We fight Hezbollah, HAMAS and here in Nigeria you're fighting Boko Haram," he said.
Responding to a question on how many Nigerians are resident in Israel, the envoy said the number could not be ascertained, as there was no accurate data.
"I can tell you that Nigeria has 30, 000 pilgrims, but generally, there has been decrease in the number of African migrants to Israel as against 10 years ago," he said.
The envoy used the occasion of the visit to explain the position of hopes and aspiration of Israel in the context of Middle East crisis, particularly its relations with Syria, Turkey and Palestine.
On Syria, he expressed the hope that peace could return, even as he said it was a big question.
He drew attention to the existing mutual relationship existing between Israel and Egypt after fighting six consecutive wars.
"No one believed 40 years ago that there would be direct flight between Israel and Egypt. Now, we have exchange of ambassadors. It is the same cordial atmosphere that now exists between Israel and Jordan. We were close to signing agreement with Syria in 1999 but that was with the father of the current president. It was at the draft level when the efforts collapsed," he said.
He described the situation between Israel and Turkey as complex, even as he acknowledges the recent settlement between the two countries. He however, did not hesitate to finger Iran as an architect of the animosity against Israel.
On the Palestine question, Uriel was emphatic when he said Israel was willing to make sacrifice and accept the framework of "two states, two people."
He was full of optimism that the current efforts for peace by the United States Secretary of State, John Kerry, will yield the desired result and finally bring peace to Israelis and Palestinians.
The envoy, who presented his Letters of Credence to President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday, arrived in Nigeria three and a half months ago. His wife, Mrs Ayelet Palti and the Embassy's Press Officer, Mr Tony Obiechina, accompanied him.
Earlier, the Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief of The Sun Publishing Limited, Mr Tony Onyima, had commended the existing cordial relations between the company and the Israeli Embassy in Nigeria.
He expressed hope that the ties will be further strengthened during the tenure of Uriel.

Microsoft is preparing a real-time threat feed
Testing out a beta system at the moment
SOFTWARE HOUSE Microsoft will share its knowledge of security threats through a real-time threat intelligence feed.
The firm is readying the system that will provide data gathered from botnet busts such as Rustock and Kelihos as well as other sources. The data will be made available to Microsoft's partners including governments, internet service providers (ISPs), computer emergency response teams (CERTs) and private corporations.
Microsoft is testing a beta system using the data gathered from the Kelihos botnet and other sources. T.J. Campana, a senior programme manager in Microsoft's digital crimes unit described the system at the International Conference on Cyber Security as a 70 node cluster running the Apache Hadoop framework on top of Windows Server.
Although this feed won't necessarily lead to a decrease in the number or severity of threats, it should allow the community to respond more quickly and limit their impact.
A Kaspersky Lab blog post said, "Microsoft collects the data by leveraging its huge Internet infrastructure, including a load-balanced, 80gb/second global network, to swallow botnets whole - pointing botnet infected hosts to addresses that Microsoft controls, capturing their activity and effectively taking them offline."
The blog post added that the system will involve three feeds that third parties will be able to access for free via application program interfaces.
A spokesman for Microsoft said, "Our goal with the new system we're building is to enable Microsoft to share threat intelligence securely and get timely information and tools into the hands of those that can help protect Microsoft customers. That effort is still a work in progress, but stay tuned - we will provide updates when we have more information to share." µ

Celebrate the Opening the LOBO (Longmont - Boulder) Trail PDF E-mail
[Longmont to Boulder Bike Trail] July 14, 2011 - Join the Golden Spoke Ride to Celebrate the Opening of the LOBO (Longmont - Boulder) Trail
The trail is crusher-fine surface (fine for anything but real skinny tires). The northern segment is complete. Portions of the Boulder-Niwot segment are complete. Bike Longmont will be leaving from Longmont and Community Cycles will leave from Boulder.
The Boulder group will meet and ride from the following locations:
- 2:45 pm, Meet at Sister Cities Plaza in front of the Municipal Bldg on Broadway & Canyon.
- 3:00 pm, Stop at Community Cycles (people should meet at CC at 3 pm) along the Goose Creek trail (2805 Wilderness Place, in back of Boulder beer).
Both groups will ride to the Left Hand Grange Valley Park in Niwot where we will connect with the Longmont riders by a handshake, a toast of fruit punch and a Golden Spoke Ceremony to mark the LOBO Trail's connection.
This continues a tradition begun in the Nineteenth Century when the first Transcontinental Railway line was completed. The construction crew and officials coming from the East and those coming from the West would celebrate the connection with a handshake, a toast of champagne and drive a Golden Spike to complete the connection.
