Corrections

From today's Seattle Times [print only]

Plum Creek Timber has 2,050 employees, not 800. It has 25 fewer employees than the previous year, not 1,275 fewer as reported in a chart last Sunday about companies that have lost the most employees during the last year.
and
An article last Sunday on the importance of sleep mistakenly pegged the annual number of fatigue-related traffic fatalities at about 100,000. That figure is actually the total number of pertinent police-reported highway car crashes each year. The National Sleep Foundation says those crashes result in 1,500 deaths and 71,000 injuries.
I commend the Seattle Times for diligently correcting their mistakes. I would also suggest that they expand their impressive "diversity" program
We benefit from a rich mix of ethnic diversity, cultures and perspectives, and we'll continue to diversify, striving to reflect our entire community.
Perhaps they can start by striving to hire someone who is competent at mathematics.
