Corrections April 28

Because of an editing error, an article on April 20 about the halting of fraternity pledging at Binghamton University because of hazing complaints overstated what is known about the cause of death of a student at Cornell University in 2011. While the student, who was not named in the article, died after drinking at a fraternity kidnapping ritual, the cause of his death is the subject of current criminal and civil cases. It has not been determined that forced drinking indeed killed him.

NEW YORK

BUSINESS DAY

Because of an editing error, the Advertising column on April 18, about marketers' rapid embrace of the image-sharing Web site Pinterest, misstated the number of Twitter posts that could be made of a thousand words. The number would vary according to word length, but would almost certainly be more than "about seven posts." (Twitter posts are limited to 140 characters, not 140 words. While that number of characters could yield a thousand words in about seven posts, they would have to be single-letter words like "a" and "I." This would result in a post not much worth retweeting.)

SPORTS

Because of an editing error, an article on Friday about the Rangers' 2-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators in Game 7 of their playoff series described incorrectly in some copies the shots the Senators took in the final 7 minutes 40 seconds. They had six shots on goal, not six shots. (They took 14 shots over all, including, as the article correctly noted, five that were blocked and three that missed the net.)

•

A report in the baseball roundup on Thursday about the season-ending shoulder injury of Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda misstated his age in some copies. He is 23, not 22.

WEEKEND

An entry in the Spare Times for Children listings in some editions on Friday misstated the number of free family films that will be screened today at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center. The center is showing one film, "The NeverEnding Story," not three.

OBITUARIES

An obituary on Friday about the disc jockey Pete Fornatale misidentified the area of Long Island where he had lived for many years. It is Port Washington, not Port Jefferson.
