  • Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a sex assault on Lafayette Ave. in Brooklyn, a pedestrian struck at 29th St. and 11th Ave., and the Commerce Bank branch at 26th St. and 7th Ave. in Manhattan was robbed.
  • Nassau County pols and law enforcement are working to outlaw the "Bloomberg Collection" of pistol paint jobs that make handguns look like toys.
  • Post owner Rupert Murdoch and Daily News owner Mort Zuckerman both have Newsday in their sights.
  • A woman suspected of having her husband killed after he left her, so she could collect a $5 million insurance policy, is claiming she is now broke. The millions were spent on essentials like spas, plastic surgeries, assistants, and therapy.
  • $46 million hurler Kei Igawa may find his paycheck stretching a little further while playing for the Yanks' Scranton-Wilkes Barre Triple A team, where he has been demoted.
  • An intoxicated man attempted to avoid Suffolk County police after a high speed chase by leaping from the driver's seat of his still-moving vehicle. He left his girlfriend and two children in the car, along with a friend, who managed to climb into the driver's seat and stop the Jeep before anyone was injured.
  • Katie Holmes, aka Mrs. Tom Cruise, may be on her way to a role on Broadway to star alongside John Lithgow and Diane Wiest. It will be in a production of Arthur Miller's "All My Sons."
  • A Long Island Child whose parents donated his organs after they were told he died from bacterial meningitis actually died of a highly transmittable and deadly form of cancerous lymphoma. Two of the organ recipients have already died and two others are undergoing chemo.

Barbara Kogan deserves to be crushed by the judge who will hear her case. It is unfortunate that she exists.
