For the record
KPFK programming: The radio highlights in Wednesday's Calendar section listed Jon Wiener as host of "Beneath the Surface" on KPFK-FM (90.7). That program is hosted by Jerry Quickley. It also misspelled Wiener's name as John Weiner. Wiener is host of "The Four O'Clock Report," airing Wednesdays at 4 p.m. on KPFK.
Gift guide: An article in Wednesday's Food section said a Murray's Cheese of the Month subscription included shipping. It does not; shipping costs depend on delivery location.
Handgun ban: A Nov. 21 Section A article on a Supreme Court case involving Washington, D.C.'s, handgun ban said the city's lawyers had argued that handguns were involved in most violent crime. The city argued in its petition that handguns were used in the majority of murders and robberies, a narrower category than violent crime in general.
Lopez column: Steve Lopez's column in Wednesday's California section had an incorrect Web address for a site started by a Glendale couple who want to revise the city's tree-trimming ordinance. The correct address is www.glendaletreefines.com
Stone counters: A chart accompanying a Nov. 18 Real Estate section story about countertop options said marble, soapstone, basalt and Jerusalem stone, among others, are tough and impervious to most stains. Treated soapstone and basalt fit that description, but marble and Jerusalem stone are highly porous and need regular care to be kept stain-free.
High school football: In the Nov. 21 Sports section, the "Boys' basketball top 25" listing said Leland Jones of No. 11 Bishop Montgomery was Pioneer League MVP. Bishop Montgomery is in the Del Rey League, and Jones is that league's MVP.
"Border War" game: In Saturday's Sports section, an article on the Kansas-Missouri football rivalry said the game is called the "Border War" and dates to before the Civil War. However, it is the name "Border War" that dates to before the Civil War, when Missouri was a slave state and Kansas was a free state, not the game itself. The same article said "fans still argue about a massacre in Lawrence supposedly caused by a band of Missouri fighters shortly before the Civil War." A massacre in Lawrence is well documented by historians; however, it occurred during the Civil War, when Confederate guerrillas attacked the abolitionist town.
