Lost island of Ancient Greece may have been found in the Aegean Sea

An international team of archaeologists believe they had discovered an island in the Aegean Sea that was once the ancient city of Kane, site of an epic sea battle between the Athenians and the Spartans in 406 B.C.

The Arginusae islands, now called the Garip islands, lie only a few hundred yards off the coast of Turkey, National Geographic reported Friday. Ancient historical sources refer to three Arginusae islands but the exact location of the third has long been unclear, disappearing from maps as far back as the 16^th century.

Researchers determined what is now a peninsula was once an island after drilling into the ground and examining rock samples, the magazine reported.

The Athenians crushed the Spartans in the battle of Arginusae, but the victory was short-lived.

Nearly 70 killed, more than 100 missing after landslide in Myanmar

 A landslide near a jade mine in northern Myanmar killed up to 70 people and left more than 100 missing, most of them villagers sifting through a huge mountain of tailings and waste, a community leader and businessman said Sunday.

The collapse occurred Saturday afternoon in Kachin state, said Brang Seng, a jade businessman, describing rows of bodies pulled from the debris.

"There were more than 70," he said. "This is awfully bad."

More than 100 others were missing, said Lamai Gum Ja, a community leader who also has interests in the mining business.

Myanmar only recently started moving from a half-century of dictatorship to democracy. Hpakant, the epicenter of the country's jade boom, remains desperately poor, with bumpy dirt roads and constant electricity blackouts.

Obama: 'I cannot believe the commissioner of football gets paid $44 million a year'

President Obama sat down with HBO's Bill Simmons for a lengthy interview published in GQ on Tuesday, and among the numerous topics discussed was NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

Simmons, who has been vocal in his criticisms of the commissioner, broached the subject of Goodell by bringing up a hypothetical situation in which three of the major sports leagues were looking for a new commissioner.

Simmons asked Obama whether he would be interested in any of them:

Simmons: Baseball, football, basketball, all the commissioner jobs open up next year. Which one would you want?

Obama: Well, I'm best suited for basketball. But I cannot believe that the commissioner of football gets paid $44 million a year.
