In the introduction to this story, we misidentify Thomas Eric Duncan as Robert Eric Duncan.

An earlier version of this story contained two errors. The bombing referenced in the song "Raised By Wolves" was not carried out by the IRA, but by loyalists who wanted Northern Ireland to remain in the U.K. Another reference to conflict in Northern Ireland characterized "The Troubles" (of the late 1960s) as the "Irish civil war." The Irish Civil War occurred in 1922-23.
In the original version of this report, Marian Seldes' family name was mispronounced. As she would tell those who did not say it correctly, it is SEL-dess, not SEL-deez.

In the audio of this report, it is said that Israeli forces "helped" Christian militias during the massacres of mostly Palestinian civilians at two Lebanese camps in 1982. An earlier Web version of this report said the same. The massacres were at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Beirut, which at the time were surrounded by Israeli forces. A commission established by Israel's government later concluded that the massacres were "perpetrated" by the militias. The commission also concluded that Israel bore "indirect responsibility" because it allowed the militias to enter the camps "without consideration of the danger" and because "no energetic and immediate actions were taken to restrain" the militias or stop the massacres.

Earlier audio and Web versions of this story referred to Albany, N.Y. In fact, this event happened near Albany, Ore.

An earlier Web version of this story said Verizon's four-year contract with the NFL costs the phone company a quarter-million dollars a year. The contract is a quarter-billion dollars a year.
A previous Web version of this story said that "tens of thousands" of people marched in Manhattan on Sunday.

Photos and video also make clear that the crowd was much larger than "tens of thousands" would imply.
In an earlier audio version of this story, it was stated that strangulation is treated as a misdemeanor in North Carolina. In fact, strangulation is a felony in that state if there is serious bodily injury.
After this story was published, we heard from one of the principals, Jeanette Patterson of Horizon Middle School in Aurora, Colo.

We originally said The Fifth Element where we meant 12 Monkeys. We are sending this apology from the future.

The audio version of this story, as did a previous Web version, says that general aviation is "essentially unregulated." While there is American airspace where a private pilot is not required to file a flight plan or be in contact with a control tower, as we reported, that is an incomplete depiction of noncommercial flight. There are strict rules governing private aircraft that cross the U.S. Air Defense Identification Zone, which encircles the nation's borders. They must file flight plans, register the flight and be in contact with air traffic control. Moreover, general aviation pilots and aircraft must comply with numerous Federal Aviation Administration regulations and certification requirements, according to the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association.

Several of the facts underpinning the story of Oreos being thrown at Michael Steele are still in question. We've updated this post to better reflect that ambiguity.

The cause of death for Shacki Kamara was incorrect in an earlier post. He died not of hypothermic shock but of hypovolemic shock, a severe loss of blood and other fluids that can cause organs to stop functioning.
This post originally stated that the president of Liberia apologized to the mother of shooting victim Shacki Kamara. We later learned that the woman was in fact the teenager's aunt, Eva Nah, who had raised him after his mother and father died when he was two. The cause of death was also incorrectly stated. Shacki Kamara died not of hypothermic shock but of hypovolemic shock, a severe loss of blood and other fluids that can cause organs to stop functioning.

Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies states in this story that the settlement would allow "hundreds of thousands" of immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally to return.

The web version of this story has been updated to provide additional details on the group Eric Harroun joined, the Al-Aqsa Islamic Brigades.

This report should have said that In-Q-Tel has invested in the firms Recorded Future and Reversing Labs.

Record Future and Reversing Labs are among the companies In-Q-Tel has invested in. You can read Schumacher-Matos' critique here: "Attacking NPR As A Shill For Government Intelligence."
Human rights advocates in Nicaragua, including Nicaragua's Permanent Commission on Human Rights (Cenidh), had accused masked police officers of breaking down doors in the northern city of Matagalpa, arresting suspects without warrants and not providing due process to 12 people during the investigation into the bus attack. But 12 people were not "disappeared." Eight men who had been taken into custody were publicly identified on Aug. 8. During an initial court appearance on Aug. 13, a judge in Managua ruled there is enough evidence to proceed with the case against the eight men who face the most serious charges. The judge denied the suspects' request to dismiss the case because of alleged human rights violations.
We originally identified Mel Gibson's character as Stone Banks. His name is Conrad Stonebanks. This is the absolute truth.

The audio of this story, as did a previous Web version, incorrectly states that the AAMD guidelines allow for art to be sold if it's a fake.

They say only that museums can deaccession — remove or dispose of — work that is "determined to be false or fraudulent." The AAMD goes on to say, "In disposing of or retaining a presumed forgery, the museum shall consider all related ethical issues including the consequences of returning the work to the market."
In addition, previous audio and Web versions of this story incorrectly stated that the Delaware Art Museum planned to sell a painting by Howard Pyle. The museum plans to sell Milking Time by Winslow Homer, not a work by Pyle.

While his campaign website doesn't have a statement issued after the Hobby Lobby decision, a news release issued before the decision suggests his opposition to the eventual decision. In contrast, his campaign Twitter and Facebook feeds don't contain his Hobby Lobby reaction.
The audio of this story, as did a previous Web version, fails to make the distinction between Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars. They are two separate classes of drag racing. John Force races in the Funny Car class.
Additionally, the audio, as did the Web version previously, incorrectly says that Courtney Force won her 100th race in May. Force's win, in Topeka, Kan., was the 100th victory by a female driver in the National Hot Road Association, but it was not her 100th.

A previous version of this post included a panel indicating that a child with cystic fibrosis would need a lung transplant by the age of 5. Based on modern treatments this is highly unlikely and the panel has been changed to reflect the improved prognoses for babies born with cystic fibrosis. The panel also indicated that cystic fibrosis causes infertility and while this is typically the case it is not a certainty. The comic has been adjusted accordingly.
A previous version of this story stated that over 200,000 backers supported the 'Women Destroy Science Fiction!' project. In fact, the number of backers was 2,801.

This post originally stated that the bodies of hundreds of children had been found in a septic tank at a former home for unwed mothers in Tuam, Ireland, drawing from news reports that were based on research conducted by a local historian. As The Associated Press has since noted, the story was exaggerated by the media and key details of the historian's findings have been called into question. It's not clear how many — if any — bodies may be buried in the disused tank. This post has been updated to reflect developments.
