  • Serbia: as usual, Greece: second time after 1999

    An extraordinary day in the Kombank Arena, with the first penalty shootout of the tournament which might be decisive on the spots in the Olympic Qualification Tournament (the Germans won over Slovakia). Followed by three women games, all ended with exactly the same result: 11-10! And finally the two quarter-finals in the evening which saw the Greeks defending brilliantly against Spain while host Serbia was back in form and downed the Russians with ease.

  • Wildlife officials are trying to figure out exactly how a shark got into the swimming pool at a South Florida condo complex.

    The South Florida Sun Sentinel reports that Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers responded to the Mariner’s Cay condominium in Hypoluxo last week after a woman found a live five-foot blacktip shark in the pool.

    The woman told officers she saw two young men running from the pool, which is located near the shoreline of the Intracoastal Waterway. The officers removed the shark from the pool and returned it to the ocean.
