Someone poured 24 gallons of gasoline on a wet baseball field and set it on fire to dry it out
A high school baseball team had to postpone a game over the weekend after the baseball field was set on fire in a bid to dry it out. The bizarre incident unfolded on Saturday in Ridgefield, Connecticut, where the local high school team faced having its game delayed due to adverse weather conditions. Playing baseball on a wet field is borderline impossible and so somebody went to extreme lengths in an attempt to address the problem. The solution, however, did more harm than good as 24 gallons of gasoline were poured onto the field, which was subsequently set on fire. Needless to say, the plan didn't work and no game took place at Ciuccoli Field. A video posted on Twitter on Saturday morning showed a portion on the field burning away, while someone attempts to keep the fire under control by sweeping what appears to be soil onto it. The town reported the incident on its Facebook page, indicating that the incident was under investigation and that nobody had been injured. "A poor … [Read more...] about Someone poured 24 gallons of gasoline on a wet baseball field and set it on fire to dry it out

Wolfgang Petersen, Blockbuster Filmmaker of ‘Das Boot,’ ‘In the Line of Fire,’ ‘The Perfect Storm’ Dies at 81
NEW YORK (AP) — Wolfgang Petersen, the German filmmaker whose World War II submarine epic “Das Boot” propelled him into a blockbuster Hollywood career that included the films “In the Line of Fire,” “Air Force One” and “The Perfect Storm,” has died. He was 81. Petersen died Friday at his home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood after a battle with pancreatic cancer, said representative Michelle Bega. Petersen, born in the north German port city of Emden, made two features before his 1982 breakthrough, “Das Boot,” then the most expensive movie in German film history. The 149-minute film (the original cut ran 210 minutes) chronicled the intense claustrophobia of life aboard a doomed German U-boat during the Battle of the Atlantic, with Jürgen Prochnow as the submarine’s commander. Heralded as an antiwar masterpiece, “Das Boot” was nominated for six Oscars, including for Petersen’s direction and his adaptation of Lothar-Günther Buchheim’s best-selling 1973 novel. … [Read more...] about Wolfgang Petersen, Blockbuster Filmmaker of ‘Das Boot,’ ‘In the Line of Fire,’ ‘The Perfect Storm’ Dies at 81

Bilkis Bano Case: SC Direction to Consider Early Release as Per 1992 Policy Paved Way for Convicts’ Release, Say Lawyers
The Supreme Court’s order directing the Gujarat government to consider the remission of sentence as per the July 1992 policy paved the way for the premature release of 11 convicts in the 2002 Bilkis Bano case, lawyers said on Tuesday. As per the current policy formulated in 2014, a person convicted for both gangrape and murder can not be released prematurely, but the 1992 policy had no such bar, a lawyer pointed out. The BJP government in the state has come under fire for the premature release of 11 men sentenced to life imprisonment for the gangrape of Bilkis Bano and the murder of seven members of her family during the 2002 post-Godhra Gujarat riots. The convicted men walked out of the Godhra sub-jail on Monday. One of them, Radheshyam Shah, had moved the Supreme Court seeking a direction to the Gujarat government to consider his application for premature release as per the government resolution or order dated July 9, 1992, said Godhra-based lawyer Parimal Pathak who represented … [Read more...] about Bilkis Bano Case: SC Direction to Consider Early Release as Per 1992 Policy Paved Way for Convicts’ Release, Say Lawyers
