CORRECTIONS

In July's "Latest Cell and Satellite Phones," the HTC Hero photo supplied by Alaska Communications Systems was incorrectly identified and credited on page 68.

In April's "An Alaska Olympics?" the 2009 and 2010 U.S. Cross Country Ski Championships held in Anchorage at Kincaid Park were co-hosted by the Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage and the Municipality of Anchorage, not Alyeska Resort, which hosted three U.S. (FIS) National Alpine Ski Championships over the latter part of this decade.
