A caption with Monday's Daily Break story on strokes identified

the person handling a snake as Dr. Sidney Mallenbaum. Mallenbaum is

overseeing a local study on using snake venom to treat stroke

victims, but he does not handle the snakes. The person pictured was

a lab worker.

A gun-permit applicant may be required by a judge to have

firearms training, under a new concealed-weapon law that goes into

effect July 1. A story in Friday's MetroNews section erroneously

said that applicants must be trained in firearms use.
