For the record - Dec. 29, 2010

Mental health: An article in the Dec. 24 LATExtra section about the retirement of the director of the state’s Department of Mental Health implied that Proposition 63 tax money goes exclusively for voluntary community-based mental health programs. The money can also be used to fund involuntary care. Also, the article erroneously identified Randall Hagar as president of the California Psychiatric Assn. Hagar is director of government affairs for the association.

Midnight Mass: In some editions of the Dec. 24 LATExtra section, an article about the move by some Catholic churches to schedule traditional midnight Masses at earlier times contained a garbled quote. The published quote, “We have people who grew up going to ‘M Mass.’ ” attributed to Tod Tamberg, spokesman for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, should have read, “We have people who grew up going to midnight Mass.”

Clippers caption: The caption with a photograph from the Clippers’ victory over the Sacramento Kings in the Dec. 28 Sports section misidentified the Clippers player pictured, who had just grabbed a rebound while surrounded by Kings players. The Clippers player was Al-Farouq Aminu, not Willie Warren.
