An article in yesterday's Maryland section misstated the date on which Dr. Victor A. McKusick, a geneticist at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, will formally receive the Japan Prize in Medical Genetics. The ceremony will take place April 23 in Tokyo.

A Nov. 12 article about business interest in capitalizing on an influx of military base workers to Maryland incorrectly described workshops about the base realignment conducted by Perry Ealim, president and CEO of Merge Business Development Systems. The events that Ealim puts on are free of charge.

The Sun regrets the errors.
