OOPS!

Fri., May 17

The caption for the Pecan Street Pike Powers Lab rendering in last week's News story on the Mueller development ("Mapping Out Mueller") incorrectly stated that the lab would open at the end of the year. The lab will be opening in June. The Chronicle regrets the error.

In last week's Food story about the Culinary Arts Career Conference ("Get a Job, Kid!"), conference sponsor Poached Jobs was misidentified as Poached.com. The Chronicle regrets the error.
