'Point Break Live!': An article in Thursday's Calendar Weekend about a stage adaptation of the film "Point Break Live!" gave the wrong attribution for a quote by those involved in the adaptation's creation. The following was said by Jamie Hook, not Jaime Keeling: "Theater has gone down a dead path for too many years. We need to restore it to its rightful place. . . . People are tired of August Wilson clones mumbling about the meaning of life. People want action. The problem with most theater is that we've let Hollywood steal our audience. We need to put action back on the stage, where it belongs."

Vetoed bill: An article in Friday's California section misidentified a bill vetoed by the governor. The bill, which would have allowed new citizens to register to vote on election day, was SB 382 by state Sen. Jenny Oropeza (D-Long Beach), not AB 1151 by Assemblyman Ted Lieu (D-Torrance).

Marine sanctuary: An article in some editions of the California section Oct. 3 about a proposal to develop a liquefied natural gas terminal off the coast of Ventura County incorrectly stated that it would be within a marine sanctuary. The Clearwater Port terminal would be outside the boundaries of the Channel Islands Marine Sanctuary.

Retail sales: An article in Business on Thursday about September retail sales estimates said that more than $47 trillion in variable-rate home loans would reset in the coming year. It should have said more than $7 trillion.

Israel's military: An article in the California section Sept. 16 about young American Jews reconnecting with Israel stated that Israel has the largest military in the Mideast. Although some experts rank Israel's military as the most powerful in the region, it does not have the largest budget or number of personnel.

Soccer: In Wednesday's Sports section, the Corner Kicks column said Trevor Malone, South Africa's finance minister, blasted soccer officials after the country's Premier Soccer League signed a five-year, $73-million sponsorship deal with Absa bank, a Barclay's subsidiary. The finance minister's name is Trevor Manuel.

Historic L.A.: In an Oct. 4 article in the Home section about Los Angeles residences built from 1885 to 1935, the name of landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. was incorrectly spelled as Olmstead.
