After the December 2012 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., she created the "One Million Moms for Gun Control" Facebook page. It later became "Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America." We should have noted that Watts has a background in corporate communications. From 1998 to mid-2012, she was a corporate communications executive or consultant at such companies as Monsanto and FleishmanHillard. Before that, Watts had what she says was a nonpolitical job as a public affairs officer in the Missouri state government.

Our report also stated that Watts had never "done anything political" before the shootings at Sandy Hook. We should have noted that Federal Election Commission records show she began contributing money to Democratic campaigns and political action committees earlier in 2012. According to those records, she has made about $10,000 in such contributions, and about one-third were made before the Sandy Hook shootings.

American Muslim Women Explain Why They Do — Or Don't — Cover

Corrected on February 2, 2016

In the original version of this post, which was based in part on Tom Gjelten's reporting but mistakenly published without his prior input, some incorrect conclusions were reached. For instance, the post asked whether non-Muslim women who choose to wear the hijab get the same support for their decisions as Muslim women. The post stated that "some women" believe non-Muslim women should not wear headscarves to show solidarity with Muslims women. Gjelten's reporting did not explore those questions. He has now updated the post to mirror his reporting.

The post also incorrectly stated that Asma Uddin was born in Pakistan.

Study Finds No Clear Link Between Teen Pot Use And Psychosis

Corrected on February 1, 2016

On Jan. 20, we reported on a statement from the American Psychological Association that a research paper, "Chronic Adolescent Marijuana Use as a Risk Factor for Physical and Mental Health Problems in Young Adult Men," had a statistical error.

The APA now says that statement, which was titled "APA Corrects Article Regarding Teen Marijuana Use," should not have said there was an error in the paper. Jim Sliwa, a spokesman for the APA, told NPR: "There was no error. The original release was labeled a correction but it should have been a clarification."

According to the APA, another researcher had asked the APA for a supplemental analysis of the data, which the study researchers supplied. That supplemental analysis did find a slightly higher probability of meeting criteria for a psychotic diagnosis in frequent marijuana users, but it did not significantly change the conclusions of the study data. Earlier versions of this article, including the headline, referred to errors in the paper's statistical analysis. We have removed those references to make it clear that the paper was not in error.
