Corrections

In this issue's insert, "Entrepreneurs: Learning from the Best," it is reported that Monaco Restorations Inc. was a finalist for an International Masonry Institute award for its restoration work of the New York State Capitol's Great Western Staircase. That award is still pending as of this publication date. But in addition, Monaco Restorations has just recently been notified that it has won an additional award for that same effort, a 2006 award for excellence in historic preservation from the New York City-based Preservation League. Also in the insert, the proper name of Ed Camp's company is Service Network Inc., not Service Network International, as reported in the body of the copy.
