Before we go TOO much further, let’s roll with the news!


 

Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03)

HOLYOKE, Mass. (AP) -- A Massachusetts man was arrested after a kilogram of cocaine hidden inside a hollowed-out chunk of bologna was delivered to his home. Holyoke police said they were tipped off by postal inspectors in Puerto Rico who had been investigating similar shipments. A dog confirmed the presence of drugs and the bologna was cut open.

The meat was then repackaged and an undercover postal inspector delivered it to a Holyoke address at about 4:45 p.m. Thursday. A woman sitting on the front steps signed for it.

Police then executed a search warrant and arrested a 30-year-old man on a cocaine trafficking charge.

Police said the cocaine had a street value of $100,000. The investigation is ongoing.


PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- A police bomb squad had to be called to a Philadelphia construction site after someone found an old, inert torpedo.

PennDOT spokesman Charles Metzger says a transportation department archaeological team found two men sitting on the torpedo drinking beers on Friday morning. He says the men told the archaeologists they had found the munition.

Metzger says the dig team called police, who dispatched a bomb squad. The squad determined the torpedo was not explosive.

The construction site is related to an Interstate 95 interchange project in the city's Kensington neighborhood. It's close to the location of an old shipyard where warships were built during World War II.

Police say no charges are expected.









(Reuters) - British Airways apologized to passengers after an emergency message warning they were about to crash into the sea was played by mistake.

About 275 passengers were on the London Heathrow to Hong Kong flight on Tuesday evening when the automated message went out. The plane was flying over the North Sea at the time.

Cabin crew quickly realized the error and moved to reassure the terrified passengers.

"We all thought we were going to die," Michelle Lord, 32, of Preston, northern England, told The Sun newspaper.

Another passenger was reported saying: "I can't think of anything worse than being told your plane's about to crash."

A spokesman for British Airways said an investigation was under way to discover whether it was human error or a computer glitch.

"We apologize to passengers on board the flight for causing them undue distress," he added in a statement.

"Our cabin crew immediately made an announcement following the message advising customers that it was an error and that the flight would continue as normal."

Magnificent Seven: Top 7 Baseball Movies:

7. The Natural (Clip 67) – It’s good, but a little hokey. The real star of the movie is this (Clip 67 – The Natural Theme by Randy Newman) This music is amazing, you could read crop reports over this and they would be inspiring. Everything is over the top in this movie. Home Run balls are always smashing things, a light that gets hit in the outfield causes all the lights in the stadium to shatter and give off sparks for some reason. Roy Hobbs creates his own bat from a tree that was struck by lightning…It’s a little over the top, but it still manages to be good. One major taint…Glen Close. Ugh.

6. A League of their Own – A surprisingly terrific movie despite major involvements by both Rosie O’Donnell and Madonna. Geena Davis is great in this movie, and I have to admit when I watched it as a kid, I had a mad crush on her. Tom Hanks is also very good, “There’s no crying in baseball” Of course, one of the greatest small roles in movie history as well…Jon Lovitz as the scout.
