Warren Lee Hill's execution has been rescheduled for 7 p.m. on Friday by the Georgia Department of Corrections, one day before the warrant allowing for his execution expires.
Hill's original execution was set for Monday, but Fulton County Superior Court Judge Gail Tusan decided to postpone it and schedule a hearing on Thursday morning to give herself time to consider a new Georgia law that protects the identities of the makers and suppliers of lethal injection drugs.
It is extremely difficult for Georgia, along with many other states that continue to use the death penalty, to obtain lethal injection drugs from the mass manufacturers. Compounding pharmacies are often used because major manufacturers are under intense pressure from death penalty opponents.
On Thursday there will be a hearing to determine whether Hill's lawyers can learn the identity of the pharmacy that made the drugs set to be used during the execution.
To protect the pharmacies from protests and public pressure, on July 1 a law went into effect that prevented the identities of those who make lethal injection drugs from being disclosed.
Hill was sentenced to death in 1991 for murdering an inmate at the prison where he was serving a life sentence for killing his girlfriend in 1986. If Hill is executed it will be the first time the state of Georgia has used a lethal drug made for a specific execution.
The warrant that allows for Hill's execution is set to expire Saturday at noon.

The decision on Case No. 12-1298, Chlorine Institute, Inc., Petitioner, v. Federal Railroad Administration, Et al, Respondents, was issued Tuesday, June 11, 2013.
Arlington, Va.-based Chlorine Institute (CI) asserts that the FRA regulations, issued last year, would hamper chemical makers' ability to ship product by rail. "But the described impact is -- at most -- speculative," Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson wrote for the three-person panel.
CI, the court ruled, "has failed this part of the 'ripeness' test because it has not demonstrated that it faces an imminent or certainly impending injury." It continued, "To establish such an injury, the Institute must show that at least one of its members 'is under threat of suffering "injury in fact" that is concrete and particularized [and] the threat must be actual and imminent, not conjectural or hypothetical.'"
The court acknowledged, "The Institute claims its members are 'directly injured by FRA's policy decision to no longer rely upon traffic movements during 2008 as the basis for PTC Implementation Plans . . . and by the elimination of the two-part test and the resulting ability of the railroads to restrict or eliminate chlorine transportation by rail," but saw no justification for the claim based on current circumstances.
Despite the ruling, Chlorine Institute President Frank Reiner categorized the decision as advantageous to shippers in the long run.
In a statement following the decision, Reiner said, "In the Chlorine Institute's view, today's decision affirms the right of shippers to move products safely. The case was dismissed solely because no shipper has yet been harmed by the Federal Railroad Administration's proposed positive train control (PTC) implementation plan, not because the court disputed the rights of shippers.
"Everyone agrees PTC is a technology that promotes safer rail service," Reiner said. "The Court's decision goes a long way toward preserving shippers' ability to safely ship chlorine by rail where it is needed. Moreover, the decision invites the Institute to bring further action after the PTC Implementation Plan advances if actual injury occurs to shippers or a more imminent threat of harm arises."

The record ridership surpassed the previous record of 74.9 million trips in 2008 and represents a 3.65% increase compared with 2010.
Port Authority Chairman David Samson said, "Our multibillion-dollar commitment to transform PATH into a 21st century rail system has paid dividends. More people are taking notice of what PATH has to offer and are choosing it as their preferred mode of travel between New York and New Jersey." He said 2011 was a significant year for the ongoing investment in PATH. In November, the the last of 340 new cars went into service, completing a three-year, $744 million program.
The installation of a computerized signal system continues, with signals being replaced throughout PATH's 43 track miles and 13 stations. This $400 million upgrade will result in fewer PATH delays, and increased numbers of trains.

Humbug! Creamery Bridge lights tampered with ... again
BRATTLEBORO -- The holiday lights strung up on the Creamery Bridge have been vandalized for the second time in roughly a week and a half.
Brattleboro Selectboard Chairman Dick DeGray said someone cut a wire on the side of the bridge farthest from Western Avenue, making it impossible for the lights on that side to glow. He said he, his wife and a small group of volunteers donated their time and money to decorate the bridge about two weeks ago. The lights were tampered with a few days after they were laid, when several of the small bulbs were removed. DeGray and others replaced them.
The lights were turned on Wednesday night and when DeGray stopped by Thursday evening to check on them he noticed the severed wire.
"This was real vandalism," he said at the bridge on Friday. "It was pretty disheartening for me. ... This really bothered me because it was cut."
He said what is more frustrating is that good-hearted people volunteer to pay for and put up the lights. He said it is disappointing to know someone can be so cruel during the holiday season.
"People enjoy having the bridge lit up like it was many, many years ago before I came to Brattleboro. It used to be lit up much more than we put up on the bridge," he said, adding that he moved to town around 1980. The bridge used to get decked up with even more illumination and a Santa Claus and sleigh on top and DeGray rejuvenated the tradition of lights last Christmas season. "So to see this really made me have a miserable Thanksgiving. ... I'm not sure where society is when stuff like this happens."
DeGray said he contacted the Brattleboro Police Department and spoke with Chief Gene Wrinn about the vandalism. He said anyone with information regarding who may have damaged the lights should contact the police. Wrinn was out of the office when the Reformer contact the department seeking comment in the afternoon and a dispatcher knew of no such case.
DeGray, who called it a labor of love, said all those involved with installing the lights appreciated the anonymity that came with it but thought the public should know about what is going on. He would like citizens to keep an eye open for suspicious activity near the bridge.
The Creamery Bridge, an 80-foot-long structure, was built in 1879 and a sidewalk and slate roof were added in 1917. It is strictly a pedestrian at this point. Citizens Bridge, right next to it, connects Western Avenue with Memorial Park Drive.
He said he and his wife were also behind the planting of flowers along Main Street and mentioned how upsetting it was to see it vandalized.

Rumor: Leaked promotional art points to iPhone 5s, 5c en route to Boost Mobile network
Date: Tuesday, October 1st, 2013, 06:16
Category: iPhone, retail, Rumor
It's a rumor but it's interesting.
And it's got some leaked art behind it.
Per Electronista and a Twitter leak, Boost Mobile is preparing to launch the iPhone 5s and 5c on its network, leaked promotional art indicates. The art doesn't suggest when Boost will start selling the phones, but that could happen in the near future, given a series of rollouts at US carriers beginning October 1st. Prices are also missing from the advertising.
If the leak is accurate, the 5s and 5c will be the very first iPhones on Boost, even though the carrier is owned by Sprint. Sprint-branded iPhones have been available since 2011, including through the US branch of Virgin Mobile, which Sprint controls. A number of rival prepaid carriers have also been selling the iPhone for some time, such as Cricket and Straight Talk.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.

We're sorry to do this to you, but this is Billy. Billy is an adorable Chihuahua who was rescued by a Humane Society worker, and he is also the reason your emotions are about to go from zero to BAWL in three minutes or less.
Adam Parascandola, a member of the Humane Society Animal Rescue team, found Billy during a raid on a puppy mill. Amid the abhorrent conditions, Billy somehow caught Adam's eye. The dog was emaciated, and so neglected that the bars on his cage had been rusted shut, but Adam recognized something special in his eyes.
"All of the dogs that we get out of these rescues efforts, they want and need love and attention," Adam says. "But when I got this little guy out, he laid his head on my shoulder, and at that moment I felt responsible for him. And I felt responsible for making sure he was never going to have to suffer like that again."
We'll just leave these links here for when you've pulled yourself together:
Share your animal rescue stories with Jane Velez-Mitchell
UPDATE: Oh goodness...the Humane Society is hosting a live chat with Adam and Billy on Friday! They'll be live on camera at 1pm ET, answering your questions from Twitter. Check back at HLNtv.com for the streaming video.

Rocker and unabashed conservative Ted Nugent was originally booked to perform a 4th of July concert in Longview, Texas. He has now been paid $16,250 to not even show up. According to the Longview News-Journal, Nugent's presence first became an issue after Texas gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott endured the heat of accepting the controversial rocker's endorsement, causing the organizers of the Longview event to rethink the booking.
"(There were) a variety of reasons. Cost, structure, is it the right musical act for this type of event — a city-sponsored, family-oriented overall event," said Longview spokesperson Shawn Hara of the cancellation for the Fireworks and Freedom Celebration at Maude Cobb Convention and Activity Center. "They decided no, we don't want to move forward, it is not the right act for this. At that point we decided to end discussions."

Afemata v. Pasa,
PEMASA AFEMATA, for himself and on behalf of the
AFEMATA FAMILY, Plaintiffs,
FAGA PASA, Defendant.
High Court of American Samoa
Land and Titles Division
LT No. 24-92
February 8, 1994
[1] While hearsay evidence of family histories and traditions is admissible in communal land disputes, such evidence must always be viewed with caution.
Before RICHMOND, Associate Justice, VAIVAO, Associate Judge, and AFUOLA, Associate Judge.
Counsel: For Plaintiffs, Afoa L. Su`esu`e Lutu
For Defendant, Charles V. Ala`ilima
Opinion and Order:
Plaintiff Pemasa Afemata ("Afemata") brought this action, for himself and the Afemata family, to permanently enjoin defendant Faga Pasa ("Faga") from constructing a house on certain land in the Village of Alao, American Samoa.
The court approved the parties' stipulation to permit construction of the house and to let the court decide after trial whether the house would remain or be removed from the land. The parties were also mutually enjoined from interfering or harassing each other. However, certain persons allegedly interfered with Faga's survey. One, Taua Efi ("Taua"), was then joined as a necessary party. He agreed to allow the survey to continue. He failed to defend, though, and trial proceeded without his participation.
Trial began on September 29, 1993, and testimony was concluded on September 30, 1993. Afemata and Faga were personally present with counsel on both days. The parties were advised that the court desired to inspect the land and surrounding area. This was done on December 8, 1993.
Alao is located at the eastern end of the Island of Tutuila. Its principally populated part is situated along the ocean shoreline. The disputed Faga house is located westward, north and east of streams flowing from the nearby mountains, in a small, inland valley. The area south and west of the streams rises steeply within a short distance. The area is accessed from the east by a dirt road beginning in populated Alao and ending at an undisputed Afemata family house. As the road reaches the area, it connects with another dirt road leading to a house occupied by a daughter of Faga and her family. The disputed Faga house is located near this intersection towards the stream at the south end of the area. [25ASR2d134]
The boundaries of Afemata's survey of 1.2364 acres, more or less, which the American Samoa Government approved for registration on September 21, 1992, encompasses the Afemata house and disputed Faga house and runs through Faga's daughter's house. The boundaries of Faga's survey of 0.5385 acres, more or less, which the Government approved for registration on September 29, 1993, generally follow the streams at the south and west ends of the land and parallel, a short distance below, the road to the Afemata house along the north side. The eastern boundaries are substantially the same in both surveys. The two surveys create a triangular-shaped overlap below the Afemata house, enclosing the disputed Faga house and a portion of Faga's daughter's house.
[1] Considerable hearsay testimony was offered, not only by Afemata and Faga, but also by Taua family members, other than Taua himself, on the long-term historical use of the disputed land and nearby surrounding area. Other Alao elders contributed their memories as well. By its detail, Faga's discourse on these matters was the most impressive of these recitations. However, while hearsay evidence of family histories and traditions is admissable in communal land disputes, such evidence must always be viewed with caution. See Tupuola v. Moali`itele, 1 A.S.R.2d 80, 81 (App. Div. 1983).
In this case, when compared to each other, these historical compilations standing alone were essentially inconclusive. The three families, Afemata, Faga and Taua, have long occupied and used this general area, and each family has apparently included the area of the disputed house within its domain at one time or another. Agreements have been reached and modified on their families' respective rights in the area. The three families are also interrelated by marriages. Additionally, family members have left and returned. We can not definitely discern from this evidence alone rights ripening into title to the land under and immediately surrounding the house at issue. Rather, these histories do indicate confusion and misunderstanding among living family members and others about the persons who, in the past, worked the land and what authority permitted them to do so.
Faga's history is corroborated by recent, actual occupancy and use of land immediately adjacent to the disputed house. Unquestionably, Faga's family has been there continuously since at least 1982, without strenuous objection by Afemata and without any objection by Taua. Faga's daughter's house, now potentially bisected, is there. Construction of this house began in 1982 and was completed in 1984. It also consists of the [25ASR2d135] primitive road leading to this house and cultivation by the Faga family.
During 1982, Faga pointed out to another Afemata the boundary between the Afemata and Faga lands, as was shown to Faga by his father and is depicted in Faga's survey. Afemata disputed this second Afemata's authority to accede to this demonstration. Afemata stated that he was invested with the Afemata title in 1974 and that the second Afemata, who died in 1984, was unregistered and recognized by the family solely to handle family affairs but not to enter land agreements, except with his consent, during his extended, medical absences from American Samoa. He further stated that while away he learned of the Faga family's presence on the land but knew nothing of the boundary discussion with the second Afemata until the time of trial. However, Afemata waited until he returned, after the house was built, to raise the issue with Faga, at which time he claimed to have agreed to let this house remain. From his perspective, Faga continued with unauthorized uses, such as the house now in dispute, whenever he was absent, and the present litigation became necessary.
We are unpersuaded by Afemata's effort to establish that the Faga family's presence on the land was by his sufferance. We are convinced that their presence corroborates Faga's history of the land and was by right of title.
The physical features of the area further corroborate the Faga family's history of the title to the land. Development of the land west and south of the streams is restricted by the steeply ascending rise of the mountains. The area east and north of the streams is relatively level and large enough to accommodate useage by the Afemata, Faga and Taua families. We are satisfied that these natural characteristics were recognized by the three families long ago when they mutually established areas for each family's use.
We conclude that the Faga house in dispute is on the Faga family's communal land. This house shall remain on the land as Faga property.
It is so ordered.

TEHRAN — Russian President Vladimir Putin has belittled the threat of more American sanctions over the crisis in Ukraine. But Iranian officials and businessmen are privately warning the Kremlin not to be so dismissive.
Government technocrats and bankers in Tehran, during interviews over the past week, voiced astonishment over just how much damage the U.S-led sanctions campaign on Iran has had on their economy over the past three years.
Many said they had initially believed that a large oil-producing country like Iran — or Russia for that matter — would largely be immune to Western financial penalties. They said they didn't believe European countries would back up Washington's economic threats, due to the energy supplies and corporate profits they stood to lose.[wsj-responsive-more-in tag="Ukraine" category="" ]
These Iranians said they had been mistaken, and that Russia should be worried.
"The U.S. sanctions are vicious because they largely just targeted our banks," said a senior Iranian banker. "The Americans essentially forced businesses to choose between doing business in dollars or dealing with Iran. That's a no-brainer for most."
Iran's oil exports have been cut in half over the past three years after the U.S. Treasury sanctioned Iran's central bank, Bank Markazi. These sanctions, coupled with the mismanagement of former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government, contributed to a deep economic contraction in Iran, which continues, said Iranian officials.
Iran's new president, Hasan Rouhani, took power in August promising to get the American sanctions lifted through negotiations with Washington over Tehran's nuclear program.
Both the U.S. and Iran have targeted July to reach a deal. But Iranian officials privately worry about the long-term impact on their economy if the negotiations fail.
The Obama administration says they're looking to fashion a financial war on Russia from lessons they've learned from Iran over the past three years.
Over the past month, President Barack Obama has issued executive orders that allow for the sanctioning of Russian banks if Mr. Putin doesn't take steps to pull his forces out of Ukraine.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is holding talks on Thursday in Geneva with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, on Ukraine. If no progress is made, U.S. officials said they're preparing to put in place new sanctions on Russian businessmen and companies.

Monkeys Experience the Joy of Giving
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Monkeys can experience the joy of giving in much the same way as humans do, U.S. researchers reported on Monday.
Tests in capuchin monkeys showed the animals consistently chose to share food with another monkey if given the option, suggesting they are capable of empathy, the team at the Yerkes Research Center at Emory University in Atlanta found.
"They seem to care for the welfare of those they know," Frans de Waal, director of the Living Links Center at Yerkes, said in a statement.
His team tested eight female brown capuchin monkeys in pairs. They could choose a token that gave only themselves a treat or an option that rewarded both of them, called a prosocial option.
Either way, the first monkey got the same amount of food.
"Subjects systematically favored the prosocial option provided their partner was a) familiar, b) visible, and c) receiving rewards of equal value," De Waal's team wrote in their report, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"The fact the capuchins predominantly selected the prosocial option must mean seeing another monkey receive food is satisfying or rewarding for them," said de Waal.
"We believe prosocial behavior is empathy based. Empathy increases in both humans and animals with social closeness, and in our study, closer partners made more prosocial choices."
De Waal's team next will see whether giving is rewarding to capuchins because they can eat together or if the monkeys simply like to see the other monkey enjoying food.
"Capuchin monkeys spontaneously share food in both nature and captivity, and commonly sit next to each other while eating," the researchers wrote.

I've shared doggy dangers lurking in your Easter basket, but I wanted to remind you about a popular holiday flower that should never be brought into a home that includes cats.
Easter lilies are one of the most poisonous flowers for kitties. In fact, just one or two leaves or flowers can fatally harm a feline so, even if you think your pet will show no interest in this plant, please take no chances. This lily (along with Tiger, Asiatic, and other varieties) causes depression then vomiting, loss of appetite, and loss in body weight with the first symptoms showing up within 30 minutes . . . and acute renal failure coming at about 48 hours post-ingestion.
Please brush up on the ASPCA toxic plant list (and have their poison control hotline on hand) and rush any pet you fear has gotten a hold of this stem to the doctor immediately!


text: It's not like the Knicks have choice on how to spend that 5M. JR is the only player they can offer that 5M to because they have his bird rights.What's funny is that Melo is better defensively at the 4 than he is at the 3...he's a good post defender, just has JR Smith moments at the perimeter. If we can somehow keep Martin and get another PF to hold us down(I rather spend 5 mil on Tiago Splitter over JR Smith), we would really help out Melo's game...this team should be built around Melo, but Melo building himself around this team. Melo is a SF PG(hopefully Schroeder or Larkin) Shumpert Anthony Martin/Splitter Chandler/Splitter Amare...don't see him getting traded so he'll add to our "depth" nor will Felton...so hopefully we can use Felton in a Jarett Jack role...don't think Felton is suited to run the PG position as a starter...he plays best when Melo isn't dominating the shot attempts. Felton is a solid scorer, average passer...does nothing great. Best to see him go up against the reserves of the opposition. Defense is the priority, so this lineup makes most sense PG - Prigioni (so underrated in many ways. his 2nd NBA season he will be HUGE since he's adjusted) SG - Shumpert (Going to break out and average 17-18 points) SF - Anthony PF - Martin (best defender on the team in the 2013 season...he's earned the PF role, no one played harder than Martin) C - Chandler (I would bench him for Splitter if he doesn't get back to form) with a bench of 1. Felton (Spark plug off the bench, total oppositie of Prigioni, will confuse the defense. Prigioni is a change up, Felton is a fastball) 2. (Drafted PG Schroeder/Larkin) 3. Copeland (2nd season in the NBA, just like Shumpert and Prigioni, you can only expect BIG THINGS) 4. Stoudimire (A lot of hope here) 5. Splitter (two way big man who can do everything except shoot) Novak/Kidd can be the 11th and 12th men. 13, 14, 15 should go to younger players with energy and quickness. We got enough vets.

When the bomb blasts went off near the finish line at the Boston Marathon on Monday, former New England Patriots offensive lineman Joe Andruzzi, who was there for an event to raise money for cancer research, jumped into action.
A photo the New England Patriots circulating on Twitter shows Andruzzi carrying a woman after the blast.
Andruzzi tweeted that he and his wife are fine and issued a statement to ESPN, saying that the spotlight should not be on him. It should be on the first responders and runners, who he said are the true heroes.
"The spotlight should remain firmly on the countless individuals -- first responders, medics, EMTs, runners who crossed the finish line and kept on running straight to give blood, and the countless civilians who did whatever they could to save lives. They were the true heroes. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by this senseless tragedy," the statement to ESPN says.
Andruzzi is a cancer survivor and president of the Joe Andruzzi Foundation, which raises money for cancer patients and their families and funds pediatric brain cancer research. The foundation had a team of runners in the marathon and had an event at Forum, on Boylston Street near the site of the second explosion.
Andruzzi has three brothers who are New York City firefighters and responded to the 9/11 attacks.
Andruzzi, a former Southern Connecticut State University All-American, was with the Patriots from 2000 to 2004 and contributed to three Super Bowl wins.

The full artist lineup for the 2013 Farm Aid concert in Saratoga Springs, New York was revealed this week.
In addition to the four Farm Aid board members who perform every year (Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews), the September 21 concert will also feature performances from Kacey Musgraves, Jack Johnson, Amos Lee, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Bahamas, JD & The Straight Shot, Carlene Carter, and Pegi Young & The Survivors.
FarmAid!! here i come! so honored to be a part of this amazing celebrationhttp://www.mellencamp.com/news.html?n_id=1931
— Carlene Carter (@CarlooneyCarter) June 25, 2013
Jack Johnson spoke this week with Radio.com about his support for Farm Aid.
"This will be my second time [at Farm Aid," Johnson said. "Last year we had such a great experience doing it. It's nice to take the spotlight that's on you and shine it on something that's more important than yourself."
Johnson lives in Hawaii, where, as he explains, "my wife and I and a lot of friends have a foundation called the Kokua Hawaii Foundation. In Hawaii, 90 percent of our food is shipped in, so one of the things we try to work with kids is connecting them to their food at a really young age."
Of course, he says, there's a "selfish side" to participating. "I get to hang out with Neil Young, Willie Nelson, Dave Matthews, John Mellencamp, all those guys. That's pretty amazing for me. It's also nice to hang out with your heroes."
A nonprofit organization founded in 1985, Farm Aid has raised more than $43 million over the years with the goal of promoting family farms.
Farm Aid takes place on Saturday, September 21 at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs, New York. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 28.

Discussion in 'Strings' started by rprab827, Nov 22, 2012.
Can someone compare the tension maintenance, feel/touch, and control?
This is my opinion only, but Cyclone is a better performing string, BUT since it has the tension stability of a Steven Seagal movie, Tornado is a better string overall. Tornado is also a lot more responsive than Cyclone, so if you're looking for a crisp feel, then Tornado's your string.
ye, however, I have found Cyclone holds a slightly lower (51-53) tension much better than it holds , say 55-57.
(I have no idea why this is so, but it appears to be)
I believe I strung the cyclone around like 52, I hadn't gotten into the 40s yet. Regardless, it dropped like a brick for me.
Great strings: Cyclone 1,25 - Tornado 1,23
Tension Maintenance: =
Feel/Touch: Tornado
Control: Cyclone
Spin: Cyclone (little)
Power: Tornado
I prefer the Tornado because my racquet is more focused on the control.
Tornado seems superior to me. Cyclone does not hold tension as well and it feels more cheaply made when you string it. Signum Pro Tornado wins hands down and the price drops quite a bit if you go with a reel. I think spin, control and tension maintenance are all better with Tornado too. Cyclone may be a bit softer but Tornado does not cause me arm issues in the 48-52 lb range in a hybrid.
I should note that Tornado is in my top 5 favorite polys (4th) whereas Cyclone likely wouldn't make the top 10.
I tried the Cyclone 1,25 mm today. Strung in 52 lbs in a Babolat Pure Storm Tour GT.
Good control, but really stiff with this tension. I would say 42 instead of 52 lbs would be good.
Tornado is a much softer string.

When Brett Hull's tweets make sense, they can be pretty funny. Tuesday night, he nailed one—a stone-cold troll job on an entire city.
"Happy halloween to all my friends in Buffalo!" the Hall of Famer wrote. Attached: A carved pumpkin depicting his infamous "crease rule" goal that won the Dallas Stars the 1999 Stanley Cup—and eliminated the Buffalo Sabres in front of their home fans.
Hull beat Sabres goalie Dominik Hasek for the Cup-clinching goal in triple-overtime in Game 6. Whether the goal should've counted or not is one of the more volatile debates in hockey's recent history. At the time, players couldn't enter the goalie's crease before the puck.
They could, however, stay in the crease once they established position—and refs said Hull did that, sliding back into Hasek and pushing a rebound off the goalie's pads. Then, while Hull's skates were still in the crease, he kicked another rebound back to his stick and scored. Game over, 2-1. Series over, 4-2.
Referees ruled that Hull didn't have to leave the crease because he never technically lost possession of the puck, and that the rule was appropriately ignored.
In any case, it was taken off the books soon after—but not before the Sabres absorbed one of the biggest gut punches in Buffalo's gut-punch-filled sporting history. Rumors that Hull is working a Scott Norwood/wide right pumpkin could not be confirmed.

I found these in a large funnel type web of many caterpillars on shrubbery at Rye Harbour wildlife reserve. I've tried to ID them using on line help but failed. Can you assist? They were reasonably hairy but had two distinctive dots as you can see on the thorax.
Interim response...
It is, de facto, a cotoneaster webber moth (the webbing is on Cotoneaster horizontalis).
There are (at least) two species of moth that do this (see http://apps.rhs.org.uk/advicesearch/Profile.aspx?pid=647). I am just trying to figure out which one is yours (and it might be neither).
They have a more than a passing resemblance to the caterpillar of the brown-tail moth. don't you think?
Any Lepidoptera experts care to chip in?
Jonathan - spot on!
Euproctis chrysorrhoea it is.
(The only other E. in the UK, the yellow tail moth, has a different-looking caterpillar.)
Thanks for the replies, I'll keep an eye out for the moths in a few weeks.

AUSTIN -- Golf is known as a game of skill, but a little luck is always nice.
For the Guyer boys, and specifically senior Kyle Hodges, the luck was all bad on Monday during the first day of the UIL Class 4A state tournament at Austin's Onion Creek Club's North Course.
Guyer shot a 305 as a team, good for a seventh-place standing heading into today's final round, but it could've been better if not for a stroke of bad luck for Hodges on the 18th hole.
Hodges hit the green on the par-5 green in three shots, but the ball rolled backward off the green. Then, his chip shot did the same thing, and Hodges ended up with a triple-bogey on the hole to finish his day with a 7-over 77.
"That's golf, but I think we'll do a better job [today]," said Guyer head coach Roddy Adams, who is making his first appearance at the state tournament as a coach — also Guyer's first as a program. "Now that we've played it [the course] twice, it will really help a lot [today].
"I wouldn't doubt if we have four scores that are pretty close [today]. One more day of seeing the course will help us. I know it helps everybody, but I just believe in these kids. I have faith in them."
Guyer was led by junior Garrett Underwood, who shot a 3-over 73 and Jeremiah Earle, who shot a 74. If not for Hodges' bad luck on No. 18, the lone senior on the Wildcats' team could've joined them in the low 70s.
Brady Hanley shot an 81 and freshman Connor Ross struggled to a 93, which was thrown out as only the top four scores count for each team.
Guyer is currently seven shots back of sixth-place Austin Vandergrift and nine back of district foe Trophy Club Nelson for fifth place. The Wildcats lead Highland Park's Gold team by two shots and Prosper and Granbury by three.
Highland Park's Blue team is in first place after firing a first-round 286, four strokes better than San Antonio Alamo Heights and five better than third-place Cedar Park.
Heading into today's second round, Adams said he wants to see his team better its first-round score by about 10 strokes and see where that puts them in the final standings.
"If we can shoot 295, I'll be happy," Adams said. "It'd be nice to get in the top three, but we'll see what happens. If 295 is our goal and we get there, maybe we'll shoot a 292 and that should put us in pretty good position to get a medal. That'd be nice. It'd be nice to beat Byron Nelson, but we've got to have some help, of course."
With only one senior and with his team making the first state-tournament appearance in school history, Adams said a strong finish today, no matter where the Wildcats finish in the standings, could be a good omen for things to come down the road.
"If we could somehow bring home a medal, that'd be a really good start for our team, being so young," Adams said. "Things are looking up for us."

Children ages 7 to 13 encouraged to join SOMC's Camp LIFE, June 25-29Posted on May 31, 2012
Kids looking for something to keep themselves occupied, or parents looking for a way to get their children active and healthy this summer, are encouraged to sign up for Camp LIFE at Southern Ohio Medical Center.
"Camp LIFE lasts from June 25 to June 29 and is meant for ages 7 to 13," Dietician Kim McCray said. "It's a great opportunity for kids to make new friends and learn new skills to help them stay active and healthy long after the camp is over."
Activities last from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day, with most activities taking place in the SOMC Life Center. During the camp, children are taught the basic principles of nutrition and exercise, as well as cooking techniques, and provided numerous physical activities to keep them active and entertained. Activities include swimming, yoga, basketball and Zumba®. SOMC will also provide participants with a healthy lunch.
Camp LIFE was developed as way to combat occurrences of obesity and Type 2 Diabetes in children, but has attracted a wide variety of participants because of the enjoyable and educational activities it provides.
"We design our Camp LIFE activities in such a way that they can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of physical condition or ability," McCray said. "Our goal is to lay the foundation for healthy living in a fun, supportive environment."
Anyone interested in joining Camp LIFE is asked to sign up prior to June 11 by calling the SOMC Life Center. Registration for Camp LIFE is $75 per child and $50 for each additional family member. The Life Center can be reached at 740-356-7650.

Egyptian folkloric singer Hakim has announced that on October 4, 2003, he will finally begin shooting the first scenes for his new movie "Hasan Safari". The film had been postponed a number of times due to the fact that a leading actress was not found to take part alongside Hakim, but the singer decided that he will dedicate his time completely to work on the film, which will mark the beginning of his acting career, calling off most of the concerts scheduled in this time period the Kuwaiti based daily, Al Qabas reported.
Hakim will play the role of young man who is madly in love with traveling but a failure in his everyday life. The sequence of events will take Hakim to Europe where he meets a man who sponsors a number of concerts for Arab singers and decided to give Hakim a chance. After having the opportunity to sing in Europe, Hakim becomes a popular singer known all around the World. At this point he decides to return to Egypt hoping to get fame there as well only to find that his popularity has already reached his homeland. The film is directed by Said Hamid and written by screenwriter Majdi Al Kadash.
Hakim is also preparing to travel to the United States of America to begin recording a new duet with American pop singer Janet Jackson, sister of internationally known American pop star Michael Jackson. The music video for the new duet "Walk Like an Egyptian" is scheduled to be filmed at the Great Pyramids in Egypt.
Hakim will also be filming another duet American singer James Brown at the Great Pyramids. Both duets are to shake the music industry with songs that blends Western and Eastern styles in one. After countless negotiations, Hakim had finally struck a deal with Brown and the two agreed on singing the duet under the title "Al Lail" (Night), which is scheduled to be released in the very near future.
Due to the lack of having enough time to perform the song together, James has recorded his section of the song in studios in San Francisco California, and Hakim in Cairo Egypt. The song is written by Hisham Abdul Rahim and composed by Mohammad Siraj.
Hakim had previously revealed in a press conference that he has reached an agreement for a duet with US pop singer Brian Adams. Hakim has also agreed with Latino pop singer Paulina Rubio for a duet. Hakim had held negotiations with singer Latoia Jackson for a duet but nothing came of it.
Hakim has proudly announced that he is expecting his first born child from his second wife Jihan in mid-September. The singer has expressed he joy at being a father to a third child and has stressed that he intends on completing the recording of his upcoming album as quick as possible in order to stand by his wife while his new baby comes into the world. –Albawaba.com

text: ...would you have willingly gone along with Captain Janeway after "Caretaker"? Think about it from their point of view. As a Maquis you don't particularly care for the Federation. After all they may have given your home world away to the Cardassians. Then you're forced to become a provisional member of a Starfleet crew after Janeway destroys your only way home. I don't think I would have gone so far as to sabotage the ship, or mutiny. That would be dumb since I still have to live on Voyager and the Maquis are outnumbered. However, I can't see myself just toeing the party line either. I'd have probably been in Tuvok's remedial class for sure.

Proper pre-race planning can mean the difference between an enjoyable, pleasant race experience and a complete disaster. This article looks at seven keys to planning your race to ensure that you get to the starting line on time and ready to go!
More: 10 Race-Day Preparation Tips
There's more to running a good race than simply training hard, showing up at the start line and giving it your best shot. It requires a significant amount of pre-race planning and preparation to avoid unexpected problems and ensure that things go smoothly. Even something as simple as not knowing aid station locations can throw off your rhythm and negatively affect your race.

More: Race-Day Tips to Remember
Race Preparation:
1. Enter your race early.
Make sure that you register for the race early in case it reaches the entry limit sooner than you expect. I once trained for a half marathon for several months only to find that it sold out before I submitted my entry. Generally, the bigger the race, the earlier you need to enter to be sure you get in. This can save you a few dollars as well, since most races have early bird discounts if you register in advance.
2. Check the race website thoroughly and be aware of any unusual logistics.
Some races require that you pick up your race kit the day before the race, and don't allow race-day pickup. Needless to say, this is not something you want to hear when you show up to pick up your number 30 minutes before race time.
More: Simulation Workouts to Get You Ready for Race Day
Other things to note are gear check and post-race meeting areas. Some races require you to check your baggage at least 30 to 60 minutes before the start. Usually, this information is well highlighted on the race website or entry form. Checking these things in advance can save you a ton of aggravation on race morning.
3. Check the weather.
Check the weather well to make sure you have suitable clothing with you for before, during and after the race. This is a good place to plan for the worst, especially if you're running in cold weather. Make sure everything you wear on race day has been well tested in training to avoid chafing or let in too much moisture. Bring an extra pair of running shoes in case your main pair gets wet during the warm up or some other time prior to the race.
4. Get there early.
It's a good idea to have a set routine whenever you arrive at a race and follow it religiously. I like to arrive at least an hour in advance to a race. This gives me time to collect my race kit, find the start and finish line, and warm up properly without having to be rushed.
More: How to Finish Strong on Race Day
Don't forget to allow for time in the porta potty line as well. There's nothing worse than being stuck in a long line with the race start 5 minutes away. Give yourself a few extra minutes to work your way through the starting line crowd to your preferred position as well.

Winstanley shrugs off proposed plan
English club chiefs would be "highly unlikely" to ratify the Welsh Rugby Union loaning a host of top stars to Aviva Premiership clubs, according to Phil Winstanley, the Rugby Director at Premiership Rugby.
The WRU have offered six international stars central contracts, to counter the four regional sides' threat of defecting to a new Anglo-Welsh league.
The regions are refusing to sign a new participation agreement for next term, to continue under WRU control.
The WRU is understood to be considering loaning six top stars, including Cardiff's Wales and British Lions captain Sam Warburton, to frontline clubs in England.
Welsh bosses have even mooted setting up new regional outfits to compete in the RaboDirect Pro12 should the Scarlets, Blues, Dragons and Ospreys withdraw from the Celtic League.
The WRU would be prepared to keep their top internationals fresh for Test rugby through loans at Premiership clubs, while their new franchises developed.
Winstanley has been quick to shrug off the scheme though.
When asked if Premiership Rugby could countenance the WRU plan, Winstanley told Press Association Sport: "Probably not no.
"I hadn't heard about that, but if they were to do that, then I wouldn't have thought that that would be something we would support.
"I can't comment specifically on what the WRU are planning, but whether or not we see it fit to effectively take those players on loan, I would think it highly unlikely."
Wales centre Scott Williams, meanwhile, is prepared to sign a new Scarlets contract, provided the WRU and the regions can resolve their civil war.
Coach Simon Easterby has confirmed the Scarlets have offered both 23-year-old Williams and fly-half Rhys Priestland new deals.
Williams' Scarlets offer has been countered by the WRU's move for central contracts, leaving the centre admitting he is stuck in limbo.
"It is a frustrating time for us players with everything that's going on," Williams told the Western Mail.
"Nobody is really sure what's happening.
"I am just keeping talking to the Scarlets, keeping close to them, that is where we are at the moment.
"The ideal scenario would be for the WRU and regions to sort something out and for me to stay."
The International Rugby Board (IRB) remains concerned by the continued European wrangling.
Chairman Bernard Lapasset reiterated the IRB's refusal to sanction any cross-border competition not backed by each union involved.
In a statement released by the IRB, Lapasset said: "In the interests of the global game, the IRB reaffirms that it will not support any cross-border competitions that are not approved by the unions of any participating clubs, rugby bodies and host countries."
The RFU put its weight behind the IRB's latest statement, with chairman Bill Beaumont confirming urgent work continues towards a solution.
Beaumont said: "Our primary focus should be to maintain a genuinely pan-European tournament.
"Rest assured I am working closely with RFU CEO Ian Ritchie and other stakeholders to find a solution.
"I welcome the support of the IRB in helping to ensure that this happens and of course as a member union abide by and support the IRB regulations."

Joseph Altuzarra Spring 2013 | Pictures
Altuzarra Spring 2013
It may have been pouring outside, but inside at Altuzarra's show, we were transported far from the storm to a beautiful place, where classical music serenaded the crowd and front-row attendees Kate Bosworth, Anna Dello Russo, and Nina Garcia, and models made their way down the catwalk in up-to-the-neck fringe, embellishment, and knee-high gladiator boots (that we're betting Dello Russo was mentally adding to her Spring shopping list). To say that the stakes were high for the CFDA award-winner (in a room packed with the fashion elite) would be a serious understatement. Those expectations were palpable as the lights faded, but with the designer's first look (a cape paired with a pin-striped button-down and slim skirt and a pair of knee-high statement sandal-boots), it was clear he would deliver everything — and more than — the crowd was hoping for. There were hushed gasps, first over the stunning shoes, then more as the lineup turned from structured and sophisticated menswear-infused jackets and trousers and lean, closely-fitted skirts to a more exotic exploration in draped, fringed, and embroidered skirts and tops layered with tassels that felt all at once regal and wanderlust-inspired. Throughout, there was a sense of both the opulent sophisticate and the world-traveled gypsy: rich fabrications and gold accents — and did we mention the shoes? — all added up to Altuzarra's fantasy-inducing Spring.
- Trends: Fringe, draping, capes, slits.
- Colors: Gold, blue, white, neutral shades of gray, tan, and olive, and floral print.
- Key Piece: It may just be the drama-inducing footwear.
- Accessories: Statement gladiator boots and open-toe knee-high boots.
- Who Should Wear It: Cate Blanchett, Taylor Tomasi Hill, Zoe Saldana, Kate Bosworth, and Gwyneth Paltrow could all carry it off.

John was special, always a gentleman and dependable co-worker. We worked for several years together in EPA. It was great teamwork & a good time. I collected mallards & will always think of John with a smile when I view them now. My deepest sympathy to the family.
For years I worked with SEND International in Alaska. John was a frequent visitor/volunteer assisting with the ministry in Glennallen, someone we were always glad to see return. We have continued to stay in touch through the years. While in Alaska he would always collect diamond willow to carve.
I will always remember "Mr. Vincent" who was the principal at Ladera School in the '70's. Besides his regular duties at school, he taught many students how to carve wooden ducks. I still have mine! He was a warm and caring person. He will be missed.

Another week, another goal for FCD loanee Bobby Warshaw!
WATCH: Warshaw scores again for Angelholm
The midfielder from Mechanicsburg now has three goals in five appearances for Swedish Superettan side Angelholms FF after scoring a game-tying goal in the 68th minute of Angelholms 1-1 draw with Orgryte. With four games left in the season, Angelholms sit in ninth place, comfortably above any relegation zones.
Fort Lauderdale slipped up for the third weekend in a row in NASL action falling 2-0 at the Carolina Railhawks. Richard Sanchez was again starting in goal for the Strikers logging one save in the loss while Bradlee Baladez started his first game since August 25.
Down in Costa Rica, Moises Hernandez made his first appearance of the season for Saprissa in a 2-0 defeat of Belen Sigolo, a win that kept Saprissa in first place with 22 points from 10 games. It wasn't a happy return to the lineup for Hernandez, however, who was shown a red card in the second half of the match.

As the orange light of sunrise broke across the San Jacinto Mountains one recent morning, biologists from the San Diego Natural History Museum fanned out across the high country to retrace the steps of a pioneering scientist who first cataloged the region's wildlife more than a century ago.
On and off for the past five years, the museum's team has methodically deployed traps, nets, motion-sensing cameras and other devices to survey animals at numerous sites in the San Jacinto range. Their inspiration is zoologist Joseph Grinnell, who spent about four months in the area in 1908 and left behind nearly 600 journal pages.
Grinnell noted his hope that future scientists would tap his data. The crew from San Diego is using those details to assess the effects of urbanization on animal life and the potential for global warming to force creatures higher up the slopes as they seek refuge from the heat — questions that could take years to answer conclusively.
As the museum's "centennial resurvey" circles toward completion next year, preliminary conclusions are as complex as the landscape; some areas of the San Jacinto range appear to be in more natural condition today because there are fewer cattle grazing, while other sites have been transformed by houses and repeated fire.
Faunal records have yielded intriguing results: field biologist Drew Stokes found a mountain yellow-legged frog near Tahquitz Valley three years ago, expanding the area where the nearly extinct frogs are known to live. In addition, museum experts are investigating the dramatic reduction — or even the local demise — of species such as gray vireos, flying squirrels and lodgepole chipmunks that Grinnell found the San Jacinto range.
"The data will tell us stories — things we haven't seen yet — (when) it's all pulled together," said Scott Tremor, a mammalogist at the museum.
Some mysteries may linger for another century, and members of the expedition expect their work will enable future generations of scientists as they try to make sense of the natural world.
"Evolution is unpredictable. You could think you see something in five years and then there will be an El Niño and things will shift dramatically," said Jennifer Gee, director of the University of California's James San Jacinto Mountains Reserve, who has helped the San Diego team. "You have got a really complicated system. That we (humans) have disturbed it makes it that much more complicated. We are getting as much signal from that noise as we can."
Southern California was mostly wild when Grinnell started taking stock of the San Jacinto Mountains. He took copious notes in tiny script, filling journals with entries about every creature that crossed his path — many of which he shot dead so he could study them.
His writings were less lyrical than those of conservationist John Muir, a Grinnell contemporary famous for his love of the Sierra and stylish prose about his mountain wanderings.
While Muir founded the Sierra Club and the modern environmental movement, Grinnell launched the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at UC Berkeley, which today houses more 640,000 specimens, making it one of the largest collections in the nation. Grinnell also developed protocols for standardizing observations, a cornerstone of systematic biology.
Grinnell aimed to create a biological baseline for what was then a sparsely populated region. "This value will not, however, be realized until the lapse of many years, possibly a century, assuming that our material is safely preserved," Grinnell said in 1910. "And this is that the student of the future will have access to the original record of faunal conditions in California and the west, wherever we now work."
Two years earlier, Grinnell and his companions their summer in the San Jacinto Mountains, performing exhaustive surveys that identified 265 species at sites selected to represent a variety of elevations. He left behind roughly 3,000 specimens, which remain at the Berkeley museum.
As that institutions's centennial approached in 2008, Berkeley scientists capitalized on Grinnell's gold mine by dispatching teams to follow his paths through the Sierra Nevada.
"About 50 percent of small mammal species have shifted their ranges significantly over the last century," said James Patton, emeritus curator of the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology.
He said affected species include low-elevation animals that have expanded their territories upslope as fires have altered the landscape, and high-elevation animals that have seen the bottom end of their range shrink — likely due to a warming climate. In both cases, the changes involve shifts of more than 1,500 feet in elevation.
"The average person may say, 'Who cares whether that chipmunk has shifted its range or not?'" Patton said. "But if it's a signal of a more global issue of climate change, that potentially does have impacts for all of us."
At the San Diego museum, Phil Unitt came up with the idea for the San Jacinto project. He's a giant of science, having written the region's authoritative bird atlas, and at least one co-worker compares him to Muir for his single-minded passion.
"He defines focus," Tremor said. "He was the last person to bed last night and the first person up this morning. He waits for no one."
The San Diego team spent a week in mid-September camping at 8,000 feet above sea level in the Tahquitz Valley, one of the most remote sites on Grinnell's tour of the San Jacinto Mountains. It's the grunt work of biology, shoe-leather sleuthing that few outside of a small group of experts will ever appreciate even though it has implications for species management and even future development in certain kinds of habitat.
A volunteer band of horsemen and their pack animals carried scientific gear and food up the steep trail. Most of the items were stuffed into repurposed kitty litter containers — sturdy, stackable and waterproof.
Their camp was simple: One makeshift shelter served as a kitchen, another as the lab. Scientists pitched tents among the pines, surviving on instant oatmeal, rice, vegetables and the like.
Experts on various teams — mammals, bugs, birds, reptiles — worked from sunup to well past sundown with something nearing obsession to find every last creature they could.
"You look at a bunch of these people and they look very nerdy," Tremor said. "But they are tough as nails."
He said the work doesn't seem daunting despite the long hours and minimal comforts. "This is the stuff we did when we were kids, and who would have thought you could get paid to do this?" Tremor said.
The group plans another series of outings next year as they try to hit each of Grinnell's spots three times across the seasons. The entire endeavor is expected to cost about $500,000, paid for through a variety of grants and donations.
San Diego's team has technological advantages over Grinnell, with their handheld GPS devices and an iPod with recorded calls to attract various birds. One key technique involves stretching bird nets across gurgling streams so that the filament seems to disappear, then checking them periodically and untangling whatever birds were unlucky enough to get stuck as they fly in for a drink.
Often during the September trip, the nets were empty. Other times, they held surprises. "It's like a box of chocolates, when sometimes you get no chocolates," said wildlife biologist Thomas Myers.
Many of the captured birds were quickly examined and recorded, then tossed aloft to freedom while a select number were carted back to camp for museum curation. So-called "voucher specimens" are critical to the project in part because tissue samples advance genetic studies and other analyses.
On the first night of the September trip, Unitt delicately removed the entrails from a MacGillivray's warbler he'd netted in the woods hours earlier. With the dexterity of a surgeon — but few conveniences of an operating room — he prepared the yellow-bellied bird for joining 48,000 other specimens in the San Diego Natural History Museum's bird collection.
"This is the permanent record for identification," Unitt said. "If 100 years from now, the MacGillivray's warbler goes extinct or its distribution changes completely, we have the evidence."
After about an hour, the bird was resting on its back stuffed with cotton and its tail feathers preened for posterity. It would eventually be joined by other specimens in a plastic tote kept under cover in the rickety field lab.
Unitt said he wouldn't let horses take his precious cargo down the mountain. "We'll wrap him in paper and I'll carry him downhill in a kitty litter container myself," he said.


text: TuTh 7:15-8:30pm Ludwig van Beethoven still stands for many as the symbol of the defiant genius who changed the notion of the artist in society. The Romantics hailed him as the composer whose greatness of heart overcame his deafness. For the Modernists he was the first avant- garde artist, a composer who introduced radically disturbing new music to suspicious audiences. Recent criticism has shown him to be a clever self-promoter of his own myth. Which was the real Beethoven? Beethoven's life (1770-1827) spans the great democratic revolutions, the Napoleonic wars and the reinstitution of conservative cultural forces in Europe. This course offers a reconsideration of Beethoven's life and work, with study of both little-known works and famous masterpieces. Study of the opera Fidelio, the chamber music, his song repertoire, and the piano sonatas. Survey of pertinent cultural artifacts in poetry, painting, philosophy and more. Among the figures to be explored in the context of Beethoven's work are Goethe, Schoepenhauer, Friedrich and Napoleon. Recent scholarly treatments and traditional views will be compared and contrasted. The course will be taught in conjunction with activities in the School of Music, including required attendance at selected concerts, lectures and master classes. The class will also feature visits to the IU art museum, and possibly other venues.

Chris Brown vs. Drake: Bar Brawl Over Rihanna?
Ready for a heaping dose of hypocrisy? In the wee hours of Thursday morning, Chris Brown took to Twitter to whine about an injury he suffered at the hands of someone else.
In a since-deleted tweet, the Rihanna-assaulting crooner shared a nostril-heavy photo showing a bloody cut on his chin, which TMZ says he received during a run-in with Drake's entourage at a New York club around 4 a.m Thursday.
"How u party wit rich n**** that hate? Lol," Brown wrote. "Throwing bottles like girls? #shameonya!"
Shame, indeed.
The spark that may have set off the scuffle? Rihanna, who has been linked off and on to Drake (most recently in late May) and has lately been spending an alarming amount of time in proximity to Brown.
"Drake's entourage got into a brawl with Chris Brown's entourage," a source tells the New York Post, "and Chris Brown got hit in the face with a bottle."
A police source tells the New York Daily News that a round of drinks with a message referencing RiRi was exchanged before fists and bottles were thrown.
Global Grind has a slightly different version of what went down, claiming Brown sent a bottle to Drake, who then confronted him, leading to an argument about Rihanna, followed by fisticuffs.
But Drake insists to TMZ that he had nothing to do with the fight, which left the club strewn with broken glass.
"Drake did not participate in any wrongdoing of any kind," declares his rep. "He was on his way out of the club when the altercation began. He did not engage in any activity which resulted in injury to person or damage to property."
Brown, for his part, denies instigating the fracas.
"Chris, [girlfriend] Karrueche [Tran] and his friends were victims of a brutal attack last night at WIP," his rep tells Wonderwall. "They sustained several injuries. Chris and his party are cooperating with New York authorities, who are pursuing this incident further."
Spies point the finger at rapper Meek Mill, who was sitting at Drake's table, claiming he's the one who argued with Brown and hit him with the bottle.
But Brown has downplayed Meek's involvement, tweeting on Thursday, "Me and @MeekMill ain't on that bulls---. Real respect Real...."
Either way, Chris not only ended up on the wrong side of a bottle, but he also took a punch in the face from one of Drake's bodyguards, according to the Daily News.
That might explain Brown's subsequent tweets, which included: "Bottles? It's nothing. Lol" and "N----- throwing bottles! Y'all n----- weak!" Oh, and this gem: "N----- stand behind security!!!! Ok! U don't pay them enough."
Police arrived on the scene following a 911 call, but both Brown and Drake had made themselves scarce. Five people were reportedly treated for injuries, with one suffering from a serious head wound.

Hodkinson dreams of regaining Dogs spot as recovery looms
TRENT HODKINSON is determined to put his injury-riddled season behind him and make a play for a starting halves spot at Canterbury.
Hodkinson declared he would be fit for the start of this season after shoulder and knee operations crippled his previous one, restricting him to six games. He could only watch as the Bulldogs marched towards an unlikely grand-final appearance led by scrumbase pair Josh Reynolds and Kris Keating.
''It was frustrating,'' Hodkinson said. ''I was quite excited to start the season with 'Dessie' [coach Des Hasler] coming over and playing some good footy under him. It was hard and I would have preferred to have been part of it. If I didn't get injured, who knows I might have been able to go all the way with them, but I was very happy for the boys and there was a great vibe around the place.''
Hodkinson, 24, had hoped for a joyous reunion with Hasler, with whom he spent one first-grade season at Manly in 2010. He started last season in the No.7 jersey but his year failed to kick into gear as he struggled to fully recover from off-season surgery on his left knee, which had been reconstructed in 2008. The Cabramatta junior lasted four rounds before injuring the medial ligament in his other knee.
Hodkinson added just 28 more minutes in the top grade via two starts from the bench before he was struck again by injury, needing a partial reconstruction to repair his shoulder, which he dislocated playing the NSW Cup in an attempt to increase his match fitness in July.
''I was coming into the 2012 season not 100 per cent but still able to do everything,'' he said. ''For my knees, the shoulder injury was a blessing in disguise [as it gave] them a rest. In the end the coaching staff just said to call it a year and get me fixed. They are feeling good now and even little things like walking up the stairs at home is not as bad as it was.''
With Reynolds and Keating entrenched in the halves, Hodkinson - off contract at season's end - knows he faces an uphill battle if he is to dislodge the duo before Canterbury's round-one match against North Queensland. His shoulder rehabilitation limits his training but he expects to join the full squad after Christmas and will be fit for the club's first trial against Newtown on February 10.
