New York

An article on Monday about Senator Charles E. Schumer’s call for $100 million in federal stimulus funds to convert the James A. Farley Post Office, next to Pennsylvania Station, into a transit hub misstated the year that the original, above-ground Penn Station was demolished. It was 1963 — not 1968, which is the year the current Penn Station opened. (Go to Article)

Business Day

The State of the Art column on Thursday, about some innovative programs on Google Labs, misstated the number for sending short text messages via cellphone to Google, seeking information. It is 46645, not 46643. (Go to Article)

The Phone Smart column on Thursday, about improvements in the cellphone industry’s prepaid plans, misstated recent changes made to Virgin Mobile USA’s policies and fees. Changes that allowed customers to make free calls after 7 p.m. and make unlimited free calls to other Virgin Mobile users affected customers with contracts, not prepaid ones. (Those features were already available to Virgin’s prepaid customers.) (Go to Article)

Sports

An article on Friday about Susan Illston, the federal court judge presiding over the perjury case of Barry Bonds, referred incorrectly to a part of her background on the bench. Another judge, Vaughn Walker — not Illston — oversaw an unrelated phone records case involving AT&T and the federal government. (Go to Article)

An article on Monday about Geoff Ogilvy’s victory at the Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona referred incorrectly to a shot he hit on the 11th hole that landed under a jumping cholla cactus. It was his second shot, not his drive. (Go to Article)

The Arts

A report in the “Arts, Briefly” column on Saturday about the cancellation of a production of “iSondheim: aMusical Revue” planned for Atlanta misstated Stephen Sondheim’s contributions to the shows “Gypsy” and “West Side Story.” He wrote the lyrics, not the music. (Jule Styne wrote the music for “Gypsy,” and Leonard Bernstein wrote it for “West Side Story.”) (Go to Article)

An article on Saturday about the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra, which made its American debut last month at the Kennedy Center in Washington and was conducted by Lorin Maazel, misidentified a group Mr. Maazel led in Germany, where he worked with Kurt Meister, who put together the Qatar orchestra. It was the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, not the Bavarian State Opera. (Go to Article)

Weekend

A film column on Friday about the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Rendez-Vous With French Cinema series misspelled the name of the director of “Eden Is West,” a movie in the series. He is Costa-Gavras, not Costa-Gravas. (Go to Article)

Inside the Times

A capsule summary on Monday for a sports article about goalie Martin Brodeur’s 100th career shutout for the Devils misstated the timing of that accomplishment. It came in his third N.H.L. game after returning from elbow surgery, not his second game.
