 UEFA has decided to keep Ukrainian and Russian clubs from playing each other “until further notice” because of the continuing unrest between the neighboring countries.

 

European football’s governing body made the ruling “in light of the current political situation” after the Russian and Ukrainian associations “expressed concerns about safety and security.”

 

The UEFA emergency panel ruling means Russian side Zenit St. Petersburg and Ukrainian club Dnipro cannot be paired against each other in the Champions League third qualifying round draw on July 18.

 

UEFA also said a security assessment showed that the western city of Lviv and capital Kiev can continue to host matches.

 Pop singer Jennifer Lopez may be thinking life is funny after some scientists gave her name to a water mite species they discovered near Puerto Rico.

Biologist Vladimir Pesic of the University of Montenegro said in an email on Wednesday that the group was entertained during its research by the music of the Bronx, New York-born artist who has Puerto Rican roots.

Pesic calls it a small token of gratitude for the singer of hits such as ‘I Luh Ya Papi,’ ‘All I Have,’ and ‘Ain’t It Funny.’

Science Daily reports that nothing is known about the life cycle of the animals.

The new J.Lo species was collected nearly 70 m deep. It is the greatest depth from which Pontarachnid mites have been found until now.
