Feces in cattle feed: In some editions of Saturday's Business section, an
article about a campaign to ban chicken feces in cattle feed mistakenly omitted the word "banned" in the following sentence: " California allows the practice with one exception: Poultry litter is banned in feed for lactating dairy cows."
Nonprofit's wealthy owners: An
article in Monday's Section A about a nonprofit company, Social Vocational Services, run by a Palos Verdes couple included a garbled sentence that should have read, "In 1999, the Dawsons arranged to sell SVS to ResCare Inc., a for-profit company headquartered in Kentucky." (The garble said "not sure you kno" in place of "ResCare.")
Roger Rees: A Quick Takes
item in Saturday's Calendar said that Roger Rees canceled a spring tour of his one-man Shakespeare show, "What You Will." He did cancel appearances in Santa Barbara and Long Beach, as the item noted, but San Diego should not have been included. That engagement is still planned for the Old Globe, May 1 to June 6.
Lunar Lander Challenge: The secondary headline on an
article in Saturday's Section A about private space companies competing in a $2-million rocket-launch contest said the competition was taking place in the New Mexico desert. It was in California's Mojave Desert.
Nicole Richie restraining order: A
headline in Saturday's Section A, "Ritchie gets a restraining order against 2 paparazzi," misspelled the last name of Nicole Richie.
Tanning products: An
article about tanning sprays in Sunday's Image section misspelled tanning technician Lisa Karadjian's last name as Karadijian.
Scene & Heard: An
item in Scene & Heard in Sunday's Image section referred to "Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory." JPL is part of NASA and is managed by Caltech.
Commute times: Because of an error in processing census data, a graphic accompanying an article in Wednesday's Section A about Southern California commutes omitted several cities that rank among the top 20 for longest average commute times. Also, as a result of the omissions, the following nine cities were incorrectly included in the list: Bell, Cerritos, Covina, Fontana, La Mirada, Pico Rivera, Rialto, Temple City and Yorba Linda. A corrected table appears here.
