Marian Iancu received a hard slap from the FRF: his team FC Timisoara was kicked out of the first football elite and relegated to third Romanian league

A hard hit for two romanian football teams, FC Timisoara and Gloria Bistrita, who were denied the licence for the 2011-2012 season to perform in the first league. Furthermore the two squads were relegated back to League 3.

The announcement which came on Tuesday during a press conference, was made by the president of the RFF Board of Appeals, Alexandru Micu, who wanted to emphasize that that decisions are final.

FC Timisoara and Gloria did not receive a license for next season of League 1. The decisions are final and irevokable and the two clubs are relegated to League 3″, revealed Micu.

Head of licensing department of the FRF, Viorel Duru, explained the reasons why the two teams have not been licensed.

“FC Timisoara divided and separated from the assets, plus the club has debts to the state budget and Benfica Lisbon. On the other hand, Gloria has large debts to the state budget,” Duru said.

Initially the Commission granted the licenses to Timisoara and Bistrita but Viorel Duru contested this decision and the Appeals Board responded positive to the contestation.

In these circumstances, Romania will be represented in the Champions League by Otelul Galati and FC Vaslui, whereas in the Europa League will go Steaua, Rapid, Dinamo and Gaz Metan Medias.

At the bottom of the rank, Sportul Studentesc (No. 18) will be the only one of the officially relegated teams to remain in Ligue 1. Universitatea Craiova (No. 15), Victoria Branesti (16th) and Urziceni (17th place) will be relegated to second league because they have got no license either. Thus, from the second league will promote not 4 but 5 teams, to fill the vacant place.

Tupac still alive in New Zealand was the headline of the false report on the hacked PBS website

A hoax is navigating swiftly on Facebook and Twitter that rapper Tupac Shakur is amazingly alive and ok in New Zealand, at about 15 years following his death.
This news seems to be absolutely false. Tupac lost his life in 1996 in Las Vegas, Nevada.. But the fake PBS story looks quite original, sustaining thus the rumor.
PBS has been hacked. (Scroll down for screenshot.)
Teresa Gorman from PBS NewsHour struggled a lot during the weekend (Sunday) to inform people on Twitter and Facebook that the Tupa report is completely false because the PBS website was hacked.
This action was claimed by The Lulz Boat. Besides hacking the PBS with Tupac Alive message, also tweeted on Twitter various info for staff members, PBS company and passwords of several PBS stations.
According to Secure Business Intelligence, LulzSec has targetted some other corporations in the past month, however it is known to hack for “entertainment and infamy,” rather than financial purposes.
The report on PBS NewsHour “The Rundown” features the title “Tupac still alive in New Zealand” with the date of 29 May 2011 at 11:30 PM EDT. It contains a photograph of Tupac and early Monday morning, the post could still be seen on the PBS portal.

Nicole Polizzi taken into custody by italian police officers after she smashed into their car

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, known from MTV’s reality series “Jersey Shore,” smashed into a police car in Italy on Monday. This sounds quite funny and of course she was detained temporarily by the officers.
Nicole was in Florence to record the 4th season of “Jersey Shore”. It seems that she was driving careless when she rear-ended the police vehicle. According to some eye-witnesses Polizzi’s car was crammed between police car and the motorway wall.
Her show companion Jenni “J-WOWW” Farley, who was also inside the car when the crash took place, was contrained to leave the vehicle through a window because the door was compressed into the wall.
Nobody was wounded in the crash and the alcohol tests performed by police proved that Mrs Polizzi did not consume alcohol at all.
The italian authorities in Florence have forbidden the “Shore” team from filming at some of the most important places in the city, including the Uffizi gallery and the Boboli Gardens known for its sculptures.
Mayor Matteo Renzi said that the show’s stars should not be filmed in pubs and clubs that serve alcohol and must not be seen consuming alcohol in public spaces. He stated that the “Shore” must reveal Italy’s culture, tradition and food.

Astronauts performed work on ISS during Endeavour last mission STS-134

Space Shuttle Endeavour has separated from International Space Station Monday morning and started the journey to Earth to finish its last mission (STS-134).

This was the last but one shuttle mission of the U.S. space program that began 30 years ago. The space odyssey will end with the Shuttle Atlantis flight toward the orbit of the ISS research laboratory.

According to NASA, Endeavour undocked at 3.55 GMT, when the ISS was at an altitude of 350 kilometers above the Bolivian capital, La Paz. The Shuttle turned around the ISS so that astronauts could photograph the space station.
Endeavour’s mission began 16 days ago, when the ship lifted off from Cape Canaveral and will end Wednesday when the shuttle is scheduled to land at Kennedy Space Center.

Endeavour and Atlantis will be “retired” like Space Shuttle Discovery, which was withdrawn from the fleet and displayed in a museum after its last mission earlier this year.

After the Atlantis mission, the astronauts will be placed exclusively on the Russian space program in order to go into space and carry out missions to the International Space Station. The United States will develop a new spacecraft by 2015.

An amateur video trailer of the much expected Girl with the Dragon Tattoo film was released on the Internet and became viral. It seems that the clip which was recorded with a hand camera, made the movie’s name become the most searched on Google and most viewed on Youtube. Many believe that the trailer leak was done on purpose by the movie’s producers as a marketing bait. The homemade video which contains some nudity scenes, came up on the Web on Saturday and had recorded about 700,000 hits on Youtube within just 2 days. The shaky images feature actors Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara. The Youtube account (dobvlvstiuwir) which posted the clip online was created on Saturday and does not provide too many detailes. However it seems to be owned by someone from the Netherlands. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is scheduled to be released in December 2011. The 2 main factors which made everyone believe that Sony Films is behind the trailer leak are: 1. video quality is quite good for what claims to be a handycam production; 2. the sound quality is even better. Sony did not comment the situation and the trailer was not taken down off Youtube.
