Due to an editing error, "economics" was misspelled, and the name "Burson"
left out of the name of the scholarship in the article "And the Winner Is
"
(October-November 2012).



Due to an editing error, the third "W" was left out of National Braille
Press' web site address, and the word "a" was left out of a sentence in
"Here and There," October-November 2012.



We regret these errors.
