supported by the decision does not eliminate efforts to restrict the availability of the pill. by abbie vansickle both sides are pursuing maximalist demands, jockeying for a deal that will determine the fate of postwar gaza   and allow them to declare victory. by isabel kershner accusations of racism, sexual harassment and rigging have plagued the organization in recent years, but no reigning titleholder has ever quit. then miss usa and miss teen usa resigned in the same week. by madison malone kircher and callie holtermann the city is flexing its new enforcement powers to close hundreds of unlicensed cannabis stores. critics have likened some of the authorities’ tactics to those used during the war on drugs. by ashley southall the longtime movie mogul jeffrey katzenberg always sought scary villains for his films. now he has found what he considers a real life one in donald j. trump. by peter baker between days of excessive heat and days of unrelenting storms, the summer rainy season is starting to feel different   and highly unpredictable. by patricia mazzei by noam scheiber and santul nerkar by finbarr o’reilly and maria varenikova by jenna russell by brooks barnes and todd anderson by finbarr o’reilly and maria varenikova by david e. sanger by emma bubola by jenna russell by somini sengupta by claire fahy by anita gates by sam roberts by adam nossiter by jesse wegman by pamela paul by david brooks by jack ewing and peter eavis by brooks barnes and todd anderson by noam scheiber and santul nerkar by emmanuel morgan by rory smith and christopher f. schuetze by erik piepenburg by manohla dargis by margaret lyons by declan walsh

the times takes complaints about editorial content seriously. we are committed to abiding by the independent press standards organisation rules and regulations and the editors’ code of practice that ipso enforces. requests for corrections should be sent to feedback@thetimes.co.uk or to feedback, the times, 1 london bridge street, london se1 9gf february 7, 2025the fashion designer alice temperley does not live in bruton, somerset, as we suggested (it’s ‘post posh’: how bruton became britain’s montecito, times2, feb 5); she lives a 45 minute drive away. we are happy to make this clear. february 6, 2025the independent review of valdo calocane’s care revealed 15 “extremely serious” acts of violence, including stabbings, involving patients at nottinghamshire healthcare nhs foundation trust between 2019 and 2023. those acts were not committed by calocane, as we wrongly said (news, feb 5). the mistake was introduced in editing. in the case of kireeva v bedzhamov, the supreme court’s judgment was given by lord lloyd jones and lord richards, not lord leggatt and lady simler as we wrongly said (law report, feb 3). february 3, 2025an article on admiral taverns was wrongly illustrated with a picture of the mayfly pub in stockbridge, hampshire (business, feb 3). the mayfly is owned by fuller’s. february 3, 2025a blackboard used by albert einstein is on display in oxford at the history of science museum, not rhodes house as we wrongly said (leading article, feb 1). february 2, 2025 a petition urging sutton council to divest from companies supplying the israeli military was not submitted on holocaust memorial day as we said (news, jan 28). it was heard at a scheduled council meeting that day but had been submitted earlier. we said that the japanese had never apologised properly for sexual enslavement of korean women in the second world war (leading article, jan 28). in fact successive japanese prime ministers from 1995 have sent letters of apology to former “comfort women” and the issue was “resolved finally and irreversibly” with an agreement between japan and south korea in december 2015. february 1, 2025in saturday’s magazine, we refer to victoria cipriani as danny cipriani’s ex wife. although she filed for divorce in august, the couple are still married. january 27, 2025we wrongly said that a study on behalf of thames water showed “1 in 12 londoners is an illegal migrant” (news, jan 23). in fact the study covered only 7 million people in specific “water resource zones”, not the whole population of london, which is closer to 9 million. 1 in 12 was the highest of a range of estimates for the proportion of “irregular migrants”, but these estimates included some people who are not illegal immigrants, such as those given indefinite leave to remain, as well as some british born children of migrants with irregular status. january 24, 2025we said that “on average women still earn 13 per cent less an hour than men, according to the office for national statistics” (news, jan 23). in fact the figure for full time median earnings excluding overtime is 7 per cent. the mistake was introduced in editing. january 20, 2025we said (comment, jan 10) that a law commission report on surrogacy proposed “lowering the minimum age [of surrogates] to 21 and removing the important condition to protect a woman’s physical and mental wellbeing that she must already have her own child”. in fact there is no minimum age at present and no requirement for a surrogate to be a mother already: the report recommends introducing a minimum age of 21 but no change on the latter point. january 17, 2025asked whether the uk should be forced to take back british isis prisoners (world, jan 8), donald trump’s incoming director of counterterrorism sebastian gorka replied: “any nation which wishes to be seen to be a serious ally and friend of the most powerful nation in the world should act in a fashion that reflects that serious commitment.” he made no mention of keir starmer or shamima begum. we are happy to make this clear. january 16, 2025we said (sport, jan 13) dame tracey crouch had “intimated” that a sport regulator would have stopped the saudi takeover of newcastle. in fact she said, when asked in 2021, “i certainly can’t tell you whether or not this integrity test would have stopped the newcastle takeover. i don’t know the details of it. but i would say that it would certainly have stress tested it more and it would have been more transparent in that testing.” we are happy to make this clear. january 14, 2025in an article headlined “law firm rejects accusations over bhp settlement” (business, nov 6) we suggested that pogust goodhead might for financial reasons be improperly pressuring its clients to reject a settlement offer in relation to the ongoing high court litigation against bhp concerning the mariana dam collapse. that suggestion was untrue and we apologise to pogust goodhead. we have agreed to pay them damages and legal costs. january 11, 2025taunton school is not passing on the full 20 per cent vat on fees as we said but rather keeping fee increases below 10 per cent (news, jan 4). we apologise for the mistake. it was in 2015 that stonewall announced it would focus on trans rights, not 2004 as we wrongly said (comment, jan 8). we apologise for the mistake. january 9, 2025we reported barbara mills kc, the new head of the bar council, as saying that the judiciary “isn’t too white and too male” (law, jan 9). in fact she said, when asked if the bench was too white and too male, “i’d put it another way: it isn’t too anything.” january 8, 2025we said that to become pope requires a simple majority of cardinals in a papal conclave (comment, jan 6). this was once the case but since 2007 a two thirds majority has been required. we said the sculptor anne curry was married to david curry (news, jan 6). we have been asked to make clear that the couple are still married, and we are happy to do so. a photograph showed newton ferrers, devon, not nearby noss mayo as the caption wrongly said (weekend, jan 4). january 7, 2025an article on the two candidates for leadership of the muslim council for britain wrongly suggested both had praised iran (news, dec 6). dr wajid akhter has not expressed such views. we have further been informed that dr akhter did not, as originally reported, say new year celebrations “usually” involve “un islamic practices”, but that they “may” do so. we are happy to make this clear. january 6, 2025humanae vitae, the papal encyclical on birth control, was issued by pope paul vi, not pope john vi as we wrongly said (david lodge obituary, jan 4). january 3, 2025we wrongly said the fastest growing group among the economically inactive were those including mental health disorders in their claim for a personal independence payment (comment, aug 19). while such claims have risen, not all claimants are economically inactive and it does not follow that they are the fastest growing group within the economically inactive cohort. this correction is published following an upheld ruling by the independent press standards organisation. december 30, 2024 a photo in world news (“the resourceful ‘lord’ rebooting the rhine one castle at a time”, dec 26) showed katz castle, not rheinstein castle as we said. we said homeowners with solar panels can make 4.1p per kwh of electricity exported back to the national grid (news, dec 28). in fact many rates are available, currently ranging from 1p to more than 25p. december 27, 2024an obituary of hazel, 10th baroness howard de walden (dec 27), was wrongly illustrated with a photograph of gillian, lady howard de walden, widow of the 9th baron. we apologise for the mistake. december 23, 2024we said that yuan yi zhu in a book review called some of the contributors to a volume of essays “self discrediting and morally bankrupt” (news, dec 20). professor zhu has informed us that in fact he described only one contributor in those terms. december 21, 2024we said the coroner shirley radcliffe contacted chelsea and westminster hospital to raise concerns about an investigation into the death of hayden nguyen (news, dec 18). while the coroner’s office did make such contact, dr radcliffe has informed us she was not responsible. we are happy to put this on record. december 20, 2024a photograph showed rushanara ali mp, not tulip siddiq mp as the caption wrongly said (business, dec 18). this was due to an agency error. december 16, 2024we wrongly said greenpeace had incurred $11 million in legal costs for a case against shell (business, dec 11). this was the amount the group might have paid if they had lost the case, which was settled out of court. december 15, 2024a photograph on page 4 (dec 13) showed choristers from gloucester cathedral, not winchester cathedral as we said. gloucester cathedral’s carol services are on dec 22 and 23. december 12, 2024we said that some vegan substitutes were worse for the planet than meat and dairy (news, dec 5). while vegan processed food compared badly with vegan whole food on environmental grounds, it rated worse than meat and dairy only when factors such as cost were taken into account. december 11, 2024we wrongly said the vast majority of the extra £3.4 billion scotland will receive from the most recent budget comes from english taxpayers (comment, dec 9). in fact 89 per cent is funded by scottish taxpayers. december 10, 2024in acknowledging that we had wrongly referred to “wrangling 6.9 million people on sickness benefits back to work” (corrections and clarifications, dec 9), we failed to make clear that only a minority of those claiming disability benefits are both of working age and out of work. december 9, 2024we wrongly referred to the government’s task of “wrangling 6.9 million people on sickness benefits back to work” (comment, dec 6). while 6.9 million claim disability benefits, such benefits are also available to employed people. november 22, 2024 an article about mayo walters, who died at dignitas in april, wrongly described her as having been the first female judge in kenya (news, nov 16). in fact it was stated in her eulogy that she was the first white female magistrate in nairobi. we are happy to put this on record. november 11, 2024an article on the reopened investigation into the death of jeannette may (nee bishop) referred to telegrams purporting to link her to a robbery at christie’s, and said she knew the antiques dealer sergio vaccari (news, nov 5). in fact the police concluded the telegrams were a hoax, and ties between may and vaccari were ruled out at an inquest. we are happy to make this clear. november 9, 2024we wrongly said that jacqueline aston “lost her job” at a care home after she was found guilty of three charges of stalking (news, oct 25). she resigned of her own volition. november 8, 2024we said it was not lady carbisdale but another woman who was given a police warning after a disturbance in the aftermath of a council meeting (magazine, oct 12). we have since been provided with evidence suggesting this was inaccurate. we are happy to set this on record. november 7, 2024we wrongly suggested that resolutions on rewilding and pride events, which were rejected at an annual general meeting of the national trust, were proposed by the group restore trust (news, nov 2). the group’s candidates stood for election to the national trust council at the meeting, but it did not put forward the resolutions. november 6, 2024we quoted concerns that a ship carrying potentially explosive material was docked by a nuclear power station at great yarmouth (news, nov 2). the town’s power station runs on gas, not nuclear fuel. november 2, 2024a production error led to three pictures being placed next to the wrong caption in “joe’s favourite lime green plants” in today’s weekend section. the plant at the top right is euphorbia palustris (spurge); the middle picture is cotinus coggygria ‘golden spirit’ (smoke bush); and the bottom right is heuchera ‘lime marmalade’ (coral bells). november 1, 2024 in “debate over class action funding”, (law, oct 3), we stated that the law firm pogust goodhead had made a typographical error in its retainer with its clients which meant it would cap its fees at 50 per cent rather than 35 per cent. in fact, the typographical error was in one place and all other references were to the correct fee cap of 50 per cent. we also said that the high court criticised and reduced the firm’s costs of £343 million when in fact the judge did not single out pogust goodhead and this figure actually represented the overall costs and disbursements sought by all 19 claimant law firms in the case. pogust goodhead has asked us to point out that the defendants’ costs were also significantly reduced. we apologise for the errors and have made a payment to pogust goodhead which it intends to donate to the access to justice foundation. we reported sarah wright as saying residents refused to pay for repairs to whitebarns lane in hertfordshire (news, oct 30). in fact she said they cannot afford to. we are happy to make this clear. october 31, 2024we suggested ben delo of bitmex had been indicted in a us court and that certain findings of fact had been made against him (news, apr 12). it has been pointed out to us, and we accept, that this was incorrect. the hearing in question concerned a civil claim against hdr global trading limited and others, including mr delo, and concerned the question of whether the new york court had jurisdiction over mr delo. we are happy to clarify that the us court made no finding of fact in the hearing against mr delo and expressed no view on the merits of the civil claim. we apologise to mr delo for the errors and distress caused and are happy to set the record straight. october 25, 2024the recipe for mary berry’s all in one victoria sponge requires 225g self raising flour, not 22g as we said (weekend, oct 18). october 22, 2024statutory maternity and paternity pay can be reclaimed by employers from the government, but not sick pay as we said (law, oct 17). an open letter from health professionals cited claims that the nhs could save £18.8 billion per year if a plant based diet were adopted by the whole population of england. the figure did not refer only to people in hospitals as we wrongly said (news, oct 21). october 19, 2024the children of women sent to prison are at an increased risk of justice involvement but are not more than twice as likely to end up in jail as we said (news, sep 28). october 17, 2024we said betting companies had donated £1.08 million to labour (comment, oct 15). in fact £1 million of the money was from a former casino entrepreneur who now campaigns for gambling reform. the latest gambling commission figure for problem gamblers aged 11 17 is 40,000, not 55,000 as we said. the betting and gaming council has asked us to make clear that the commission’s figures relate to problem gambling, a sub clinical classification indicating loss of control and the presence of adverse consequences from gambling, not gambling addiction, which is a recognised mental health disorder requiring diagnosis by a healthcare professional. october 16, 2024we said bbc arabic and bbc persian had been closed down (editorial, oct 14). in fact only the radio stations were cut; the tv channels and online services are still available. october 12, 2024we apologise for a production error that has left the codeword on p46 of today’s mindgames incomplete. october 7, 2024photographs of an apparent confrontation between sue gray and michael bourke in the no 10 downing street garden were taken by a freelance photographer, not by a no 10 insider as we wrongly suggested (news, oct 7). october 2, 2024necrotising fasciitis is caused by a bacterial infection, not a virus as a headline wrongly said (news, oct 1). a story on flooding in the coastal village of golspie, sutherland, was wrongly illustrated with a photograph of crovie, aberdeenshire (news, scotland, sep 30). october 1, 2024we wrongly said dame elizabeth esteve coll was the first female vice chancellor of a traditional british university when she took up the position at the university of east anglia in 1995 (obituary, sep 25). dame lillian penson became vice chancellor of the university of london in 1948. september 14, 2024in peter sidwell’s sourdough bread recipe (magazine, page 35) we omitted the strong white flour in the method. step 2 should read: add the remaining white flour, plus the wholemeal or rye flour and the seeds to the bowl and, using your hands or a dough hook, mix until it forms a soft ball. we apologise for the error. september 13, 2024a headline wrongly said britain was “spending less than romania on early education” (news, sep 11). in fact, as the article made clear, britain spends less than the oecd average but more than romania. september 12, 2024a photo of a touring production of birdsong showed charlie russell with james esler, not max bowden as we said (news, sep 11). we said the islamic students association of britain (isab) had been reported by the bbc to have promoted several events marking the death of the islamic revolutionary guard corps (irgc) commander qasem soleimani (news, feb 14). while the isab promoted two online talks by active and retired members of the irgc, and on january 5 organised an in person protest at the us embassy against soleimani’s assassination, the organisation says it had no involvement with a vigil held at its west london base later the same day, at which chants of “death to israel” were heard. we are happy to put this on record. september 4, 2024ajay chowdhury is a former editor of the journal of the james bond international fan club, not a former president of the organisation as we said (news, sep 2). august 30, 2024a story about the sighting of a ghost orchid in herefordshire (news, aug 28) wrongly said the flower was native to florida. the error was introduced in the editing process. august 29, 2024 the viking onshore wind farm will power half a million homes on the british mainland, not on the shetland islands as we said (“britain ‘must speed up clean energy’”, business, aug 29). august 28, 2024an item on diving holidays was illustrated with a photograph of the azure window rock arch on the coast of gozo (travel, aug 24). the formation collapsed in 2017. august 21, 2024a project to reintroduce traditional all female yue opera to shanghai received funding from uk research and innovation, not the british council as we said (news, aug 21). august 19, 2024 we wrongly said that personal independence payment is for people who are medically unfit for work, and that gps acted as gatekeepers for the benefit (comment, aug 19). the benefit is also available to those in work and gps do not decide on eligibility. august 17, 2024we said the uk council for psychotherapy had apologised for terminating the membership of the gender critical trainee therapist james esses, and had admitted wrongdoing (news, aug 17). this was incorrect: the ukcp has not apologised or admitted any wrongdoing. a photograph illustrating a good walk (weekend, aug 17) showed fountains hall, not markenfield hall as the caption wrongly said. august 16, 2024an article on the sentences handed down to just stop oil protesters said the offence of public nuisance required that offenders’ actions must cause or risk harm to the public (comment, aug 16). in fact the relevant act also covers obstructing the public in the exercise of their rights, and it was this element that was cited in the charges against the protesters. we are happy to make this clear. august 15, 2024a picture accompanying our article on the wreck of the earl of abergavenny (news, aug 14) showed not john wordsworth who captained the ship but an anglican bishop of the same name. in “founder accused of insider dealing raises stake in firm” (aug 15), we reported that sara murray of big technologies is at the centre of a high court battle over alleged insider dealing. in fact the claim is a claim under the companies act for rectification and damages following alleged misrepresentations by ms murray. ms murray is not a party to the proceedings. we are happy to correct the record. august 11, 2024an obituary of frederick crews contained errors (aug 7). sigmund freud altered his theories in 1897, not 1987; and crews alleged that freud accepted only american clients after the first world war, not the second world war. the photograph in our birthdays tomorrow column on saturday (aug 10) showed not joe jackson the musician as we said, but the father of michael jackson. we apologise for the mistake. august 7, 2024an article by michael johnson on olympic athletics was wrongly credited in some editions to michael jordan (sport, aug 6). we apologise for the mistake. august 6, 2024we wrongly referred to a salary threshold at which the spouses of legal migrants can legally settle in britain (leading article, aug 6). the threshold applies to the incomes of british citizens wishing to sponsor a foreign spouse. the result of a women’s hockey olympic quarter final match was netherlands 3 great britain 1, not a 1 1 draw as we said (sport, aug 6). july 24, 2024we reported that the dismissed police officer james endean had been a white ribbon champion (news, jul 23). he had acted as such during a thames valley police awareness week, but the charity white ribbon uk say he held no such position with them. we are happy to make this clear. july 17, 2024we wrongly attributed to the hungarian prime minister viktor orban a comment made to the bbc about hungary’s policy on ukraine (leading article, jul 16). the comment was made by the hungarian government spokesman zoltan kovacs, who says his words were taken out of context. we are happy to make this clear.july 4, 2024our obituary of david coumbe (register, jun 29) stated he was an only child. in fact he had a sister, maureen, who survives him. we apologise for the error. july 2, 2024we wrongly said that keir starmer worked as a barrister on the 1993 appeals of earl pratt and ivan morgan, who were held on death row in jamaica (news, july 1). he worked on the linked cases of four other death row inmates whose appeals were heard at that time. june 28, 2024a graph comparing the performance of alliance trust and witan (business, jun 27) transposed the two companies’ share prices. june 15, 2024 we wrongly attributed to grace o’malley kumar’s mother, sinéad o’malley, a statement by barnaby webber’s mother, emma webber, about receiving a letter from the family of valdo calocane, the killer of their children (news, jun 14). we apologise for the error. june 2, 2024 in recording eva petulengro’s surviving children, we failed to mention her son bradley (obituary, may 30). we apologise for the omission. may 31, 2024 we said a theatre show to be funded by creative scotland would have charged people £270 a day to take part in sex acts in the highlands (news, may 31). in fact this was the daily rate performers would have been paid. may 29, 2024the liberal democrats had 15 mps in parliament, not 14 as we wrongly said (news, may 23).may 27, 2024lord rees of ludlow is 81, not 95 as we wrongly said (news, may 27). may 26, 2024 a report on james allen’s girls’ school was wrongly illustrated in the print edition with a picture of dulwich college (news, may 25). may 24, 2024we said ben delo of the crypto asset exchange bitmex was being indicted in a us court and certain findings of fact were made against him (news, apr 12). in fact the ruling solely concerned a decision on jurisdiction in a civil claim. mr delo was not indicted and no findings of fact were made against him. we apologise for the errors. may 23, 2024in a live blog reporting remarks made by paul johnson, director of the institute for fiscal studies, we said that tony blair and gordon brown knew about the infected blood scandal and “deliberately decided not to do anything about it” (digital editions, may 20). while mr johnson spoke about the knowledge and conduct of ministers during the blair brown years, based on his own experience in the treasury at the time, he did not single out either mr blair or mr brown. we are happy to make this clear.may 22, 2024we reported claims that the covid inquiry, which has cost £94 million so far, is ten times more expensive than the leveson inquiry (news, may 15). in fact the leveson inquiry cost £5.6 million. we are happy to make this clear. may 10, 2024we said that brian altman kc admitted he was “catastrophically incorrect” to clear post office executives of wrongdoing (news, may 9). in fact he used those words to describe faulty information on which he based his 2013 review. we are also happy to clarify that he carried out a review of the post office’s strategy and processes for reviewing the prosecutions, not a review of the prosecutions themselves. may 7, 2024a report on protests at cambridge university included quotes from a demonstrator who claimed to be mahmoud atallah, a student at lucy cavendish college (news, may 7). the college has informed us it has no student of that name. we are happy to put this on record. may 5, 2024we wrongly said that anita pallenberg was the wife of two members of the rolling stones (saturday review, may 4). pallenberg had long term relationships with brian jones and keith richards, but did not marry either. may 3, 2024the kingdom built by herod was not the first jewish state in israel, as we wrongly say in the headline to simon sebag montefiore’s review of herod the great by martin goodman (saturday review, may 4). april 29, 2024britain’s highest decoration for civilian or non operational gallantry is the george cross, not the george medal as we said (world, apr 27). april 20, 2024 we wrongly attributed a complaint about amol rajan’s pronunciation of “aitch” to edwina smart of eastleigh (news, apr 9). we apologise for the error. april 10, 2024we have been asked to make clear that, while the rspca and wwf are members of wildlife and countryside link (wcl), they were not involved in statements concerning ethnic minorities in the countryside that were made by wcl to a parliamentary group (news, feb 9). we are happy to put this on record. april 4, 2024the police are testing 6,000 suspects a month for drugs, not 30,000 as we said (news, apr 3). march 21, 2024we apologise for the printing error that led to the duplication of page 63 in some editions. march 18, 2024in reporting a call for a boycott of scottish farmed salmon, we failed to include a response provided by the body representing the industry (news, mar 15). scottish salmon’s position is that “scottish salmon farmers provide the highest welfare standards anywhere in the world for the animals in their care, and are independently certified by rspca assured.” we are happy to put this on record. in a letter on assisted dying (mar 14), baroness hollins wrote “the recent health and social care select committee report recommended: ‘it is essential to uphold the commitment to universal access to palliative care in the health and care act before further consideration is given to changing the law’.” we have been asked to make clear that the words summarised her understanding of the select committee’s recommendations and were not a verbatim quotation from its report. march 15, 2024an interview with earl spencer in the magazine today mistakenly says he was in the bullingdon club at oxford. in fact he was invited to join but turned it down. it is the gender identity development service at the tavistock centre that is closing at the end of the month, not the tavistock centre itself as we said in a caption in our digital edition (news, mar 12). march 8, 2024due to a late schedule change by channel 4, the film 20 days in mariupol will now be shown on monday at 10.30pm and not on thursday as printed in today’s review section. march 6, 2024we said lloyds and halifax share the same financial services compensation scheme licence (money, mar 2). this was incorrect: the banks have separate licences, each of which protects up to £85,000 of customer deposits. we wrongly said paolo fresia is a member of patriotic millionaires (luxx, mar 2). while he has sympathy with many of the organisation’s aims, he is not a member. march 1, 2024we wrongly attributed an observation about the cost of living to abigail morris, the lead singer in the band the last dinner party, who was educated at bedales (“is there a future for bands? why i fear for rock’n’roll”, times2, feb 29). in fact our interviewer was speaking to georgia davies, the band’s bassist. we apologise for the error. february 29, 2024in “revealed: the middlemen ripping off foreign workers for care visas” (online, feb 23, and in print under the headline “foreign care workers are ripped off by visa agents”, news, feb 24) we mistakenly published an image of yash dubal, director and senior immigration associate at ay & j solicitors. we confirm that neither mr dubal nor his firm has any connection with the issues raised in the article and we apologise for the error. february 23, 2024in “former lawyer must repay saudi princess millions he spent on yacht” (online, feb 21) we mistakenly published a picture of the cruise yacht elysium, owned by elixir cruises, and not the motor yacht elysium that is the subject of the legal proceedings against ronald gibbs. we confirm that the former has no connection with the ongoing dispute and we apologise for the error. february 22, 2024cs venkatakrishnan, the barclays chief executive, was paid £5.2 million in 2022, not £5.2 billion as we wrongly said (business, feb 22). february 21, 2024we wrongly said in a caption (business, feb 21) that frasers group is suing morgan stanley over a $1 million cash demand. the correct figure is £1 billion. february 15, 2024andrew saunders is an analyst at shore capital, not peel hunt as we wrongly said (“picking out some hot properties”, business, feb 15). february 15, 2024we reported that an article in a withdrawn issue of the royal society of literature’s magazine referred to “the israeli war machine” (“war of wisely chosen words at literature’s royal society”, news, feb 3). while the article in question referred to “the devastating machinery of the israeli state in operation: the armed checkpoints, apartheid road systems, arbitrary identity checks against palestinian children and other violent structural harms”, the rsl has asked us to make clear that the phrase “israeli war machine” was not used. february 14, 2024the walls of the small modular reactor pressure vessel built by sheffield forgemasters are 20 centimetres thick, not 2 centimetres as we wrongly said (business, feb 12). february 13, 2024marcel anisfeld (obituary, feb 13) is also survived by his daughters suzanne and candice in addition to his wife, irene, son lance and daughter sharon. february 11, 2024we wrongly described celia kitzinger as a professor of psychology at the university of york and a campaigner for assisted dying (catholic neurologist cleared of letting faith prejudice court evidence, news, feb 8). she is a retired professor of sociology and campaigns to promote advance decisions on refusing treatment. february 7, 2024an opinion column stated that a government commissioned report into the teesworks development “contradicted several linchpin claims made in private eye” about the project, including on the sale of land and dividends received by business partners (juliet samuel, “rare tory success offers model for the future”, comment, jan 31). this was incorrect. while the report provided context on deals related to the land sale and use of dividends that in our opinion justifies a more positive view than was taken by private eye, we accept that it did not contradict claims made by the magazine. february 3, 2024we wrongly say in the magazine today (“why everyone wants what he’s having”) that st john, smithfield, is run by fergus and margot henderson and trevor gulliver. margot henderson has no affiliation with the restaurant. january 22, 2024while peter neumann, professor of security studies at king’s college london, has taught students on a king’s counter terrorism course, he is not the “course director” as we wrongly said (news, jan 17, 18). we are happy to make this clear. january 4, 2024we referred to claims made against the late greville janner “and other unconvicted sex offenders” (comment, dec 29). while lord janner of braunstone was charged with 22 offences relating to nine complainants, he died before the offences could be tried. we are happy to make this clear. january 3, 2024a book review referring to mary wollstonecraft was wrongly illustrated with a portrait of her daughter, mary shelley (saturday review, dec 30). december 31, 2023an article about rolls royce, the aerospace engineer, was wrongly illustrated with a photograph of a rolls royce car. the motor manufacturer is a separate unrelated company. december 22, 2023in an article about a sponsorship deal with the science museum (dec 5) we stated that its chief executive would no longer be involved in decisions over the ethics of sponsorship deals. we have been asked by the science museum’s chair to clarify that, while the ceo is not part of a new advisory group that reviews the ethics of those deals, he remains involved in decisions taken by the board of trustees. we are happy to do so. december 19, 2023the name of sir tim brighouse’s first wife was mary demer, not mary demmers as we wrongly said (obituaries, dec 19). december 18, 2023the world vapers’ alliance did not hand out free e cigarettes from its “vape bus”, as we wrongly said (news, dec 14 & 15). it gave out free branded merchandise such as hats and mugs. december 8, 2023we wrongly said that the county councils network (cnn) had claimed middle class parents are to blame for councils’ budget crises (comment, dec 7). while individual council sources may have made such claims, we have been asked to make clear that this is not the position of the cnn. december 7, 2023we said that benefit fraudsters make up 2 per cent of the uk’s annual fraud and tax fraudsters 69 per cent (magazine, dec 2). the latest figures put benefit fraud at £6.4bn and the “tax gap” (the amount of tax going unpaid) at £35.8bn. the latter figure includes tax lost to error, legal avoidance and all kinds of non compliance, as well as fraud. we are happy to make this clear. december 4, 2023reporting the acquittal of chris mceleny on charges of causing a disturbance (scotland, dec 1), we referred in a headline to a claim heard in court that some of mr mceleny’s evidence was “unreliable and not credible”. as the accompanying article explained, the claim about mr mceleny’s evidence was made by the fiscal depute prosecuting the case. we are happy to make this clear. december 1, 2023a letter published on nov 28 said 63 per cent of london’s population were born overseas. in fact 41 per cent were born overseas and 63 per cent are from ethnic minorities. november 27, 2023we reported a suggestion from a botanist in south africa (news, november 23) that the royal botanic gardens, kew, should repatriate some specimens from its herbarium instead of moving them to reading. kew has asked us to make clear that the national heritage act 1983 limits trustees’ abilities to “repatriate or otherwise dispose of” items in its collections, and that its herbarium will remain fully accessible to staff, students and visiting researchers. november 18, 2023in an article on the cricket world cup (sport, nov 15) we reported that “it was rumoured that a few [england] players had to be helped on to the plane for their evening flight after the farewell do”. the professional cricketers association has stated that: “the players were not drinking alcohol and they all left early to catch their flight in a professional manner.” we are happy to make this clear. we wrongly said the uk’s october inflation figure had yet to be published (news, nov 17). the figure of 4.6 per cent had been released on nov 15. november 6, 2023we said the founders of marks and spencer were zionist jews (comment, nov 4). michael marks was a zionist jew; thomas spencer was not jewish. we said frank sinatra sang my way at government house in nairobi in 1952 (comment, nov 4). in fact sinatra’s performance did not include the song, which was not released until 1969. november 4, 2023our obituary for jennifer white shah (register, nov 2) was wrongly illustrated with a photo of nanette newman. we apologise for the error. october 31, 2023we said andy mcdonald mp chanted, “between the river and the sea, palestine will be free,” at a rally (news, oct 30). in fact he said, “until all people, israelis and palestinians, between the river and the sea, can live in peaceful liberty.” we apologise for the error. october 28, 2023the royal conservatoire of scotland is in glasgow, not edinburgh as we wrongly suggested (times2, oct 26). october 27, 2023we said a case on the legality of the rwanda scheme would be heard by the european court of human rights next month (comment, oct 26). in fact the case will be heard by the uk supreme court in november: a related case may be put before the echr at a later date. october 26, 2023an opinion column referred to reports that women in labour in scotland might no longer be offered entonox for pain relief (magazine, oct 21). nhs scotland has informed us that no such proposal is being considered. we are happy to put this on record. october 20, 2023we wrongly said life expectancy in scotland had fallen by 4.4 years over the past decade (leading article, oct 18). the latest national records of scotland figures for life expectancy at birth in scotland show a decrease of 0.1 years between 2010 12 and 2020 22. a thunderer column on “the death of handwriting” (comment, oct 18) wrongly said ofqual had given permission for some gcse exams to be taken on laptops. in fact the regulator has yet to see detailed proposals from the aqa exam board. we are happy to make this clear. october 17, 2023a headline said “pret’s food goes up five times more than rivals” (news, sep 27). the article compared price rises on specific pret a manger items with the average rise in takeaway sandwiches over the last year. pret a manger says its average price rise was substantially less than the headline suggested. we are happy to make this clear.. october 13, 2023the protester who threw glitter on sir keir starmer was from people demand democracy, not make votes count as we wrongly said (comment, oct 12). october 12, 2023akshata murty is now paying uk taxes on worldwide income because she no longer claims the “remittance basis”, but she has not given up her non dom status as we wrongly said (news, sep 28). october 11, 2023we said a video appearance by andrey kurkov at the lviv bookforum was cancelled (news, oct 7). in fact the event went ahead despite online protests. october 4, 2023we said a doctor was paid £7,853 to cover a shift at the walton centre, a neurology unit in liverpool (news, oct 2). the hospital now says it misinterpreted the times freedom of information request, and that the highest rate paid for a 24 hour shift was £2,840. october 2, 2023a thunderer column on the cost of net zero cited findings from a report by civitas (comment, sep 27). civitas has since withdrawn the report, which was found to contain factual errors. the scottish government has not published plans to massively expand cage capacity for farmed salmon, as we wrongly said (times earth, sep 21). a statement in the same article that farmed salmon live short, unhealthy lives reported the view of some environmentalists and we are happy to make this clear. mrs justice roberts was determining the mental capacity of sudiksha thirumalesh to challenge doctors’ views about her treatment, not imposing an anonymity order as we wrongly said. the wide ranging transparency order governing the case had already been imposed by mr justice francis and was not in issue (corrections & clarifications, sep 27). september 30, 2023an article on the conscious advertising network (can) referred to “the campaign’s boycotts” of advertising platforms (news, aug 21). the claim that can organises boycotts was made by a group of conservative mps. can says it has never organised or called for boycotts and the allegation is untrue. we are happy to make this clear. september 28, 2023xlcc plans to produce subsea electricity cables that would incur power losses of only 3 per cent per 620 miles, not 62 miles as we wrongly stated (“subsea cable factory lays out £1.4bn bid”, business, sep 26). the mistake was due to an editing error. september 26, 2023an anonymity order in the case of sudiksha thirumalesh was imposed by mrs justice roberts, not mr justice roberts as we wrongly said (news, sep 23). we wrongly said that the uk’s first vegetarian restaurant was on carnaby street in the 1960s (news, sep 23). in fact vegetarian restaurants have existed here for more than a century. a photograph with the same article showed a carnaby street fashion event in paris, not the street itself. september 22, 2023we wrongly said that british tourists need an international driving permit to drive in spain (world news, sep 16), although some fines have been issued in error by local police. september 20, 2023we said the eu was working on an agreement that meant each member state would take a minimum of 30,000 migrants annually, and that richer member states would have to accept up to 120,000 migrants per year (news, sep 13 & 15). in fact those minimum and maximum figures would apply across eu members, with the larger states taking a greater share. september 19, 2023we wrongly said that mohammad hussain ataee, a former official with the islamic students association of britain, talked with ezzatollah zarghami, a general in iran’s revolutionary guard (news, aug 5). no such meeting took place. august 28, 2023extracts from unstoppable by mark hughes (sport, aug 20 & 21) were abridged and edited for serialisation, not taken verbatim from the published book. online versions of the extracts have since been amended to reflect the author’s exact wording throughout. august 26, 2023in an article first published on december 19, 2022, under the headline “labour selects miners scandal lawyer”, we incorrectly suggested that jerry hague, a prospective labour party candidate, had in 2010 been found guilty of professional misconduct for dishonestly misleading sick ex miners seeking compensation for industrial injuries. we incorrectly suggested he had done so by perpetrating a scam against them when improperly deducting monies from their compensation. we accept that this allegation is false. whilst mr hague did make admissions to the solicitors disciplinary tribunal of professional failings, they concerned the failure to provide better information to clients under professional practice rules and did not concern dishonesty, which was never alleged against him. we further accept that we omitted from the article that the tribunal concluded that mr hague, and his firm graysons, did not act unethically and had provided a good high level of professional service to their clients. we apologise to mr hague for these errors and for the distress caused and have agreed to pay him substantial damages and costs. august 21, 2023the number of 18 year olds in receipt of free school meals who have been accepted by universities this year has risen by about 2,000, not fallen sharply as we said (leading article, aug 17). the plan for covid boosters to be made available for anyone to buy is not the result of a rule change (news, aug 18). we are happy to make this clear. august 16, 2023we said in a headline that leaving money to charity could be a “win” for the deceased’s loved ones (money, aug 5). while the course of action outlined in the article would lead to a reduction in the amount (and rate) of inheritance tax paid it would not result in a net gain for the deceased’s heirs. we are happy to make this clear. august 12, 2023we said barnton bunker was built for the late queen in the event of nuclear war (news, aug 9). while the owners say this was rumoured, there is no evidence it was the case. august 11, 2023lord mendoza does not succeed duncan wilson as chairman of historic england, as we wrongly said (news, aug 10). wilson remains chief executive. the outgoing chairman is sir laurie magnus. august 7, 2023we wrongly attributed new judicial guidance on judges’ conduct to hm court and tribunals service (news, aug 5). august 5, 2023we said in a headline that british companies were exporting key equipment to russia “despite sanctions” (business, jul 31). we are happy to make clear that hill & smith plc and its subsidiary companies have never had a direct customer relationship with, or provided equipment to, any sanctioned entity in russia. august 3, 2023an article headlined “radcliffe: trust children to transition”, published on april 13, 2023, reported comments made by three high court judges in 2020 that children aged 13 and under would be highly unlikely to be able to give their competent consent for treatment to begin their transition. this was misleading as to the current legal position in light of a subsequent ruling by the court of appeal which found that it was inappropriate for the high court to reach such general age related conclusions. this correction has been published following an upheld ruling by the independent press standards organisation. august 2, 2023in “post office scandal: fujitsu staff ‘complicit in cover up” (news, aug 2) we wrongly published an image of simon henderson. we apologise for the error. july 27, 2023archie norman is the chairman of m&s, not the former chairman as we said. michael house was the name of the company’s headquarters on baker street, not of its flagship oxford street store (news, jul 21). july 24, 2023we wrongly attributed lyrics to the pink floyd album the dark side of the moon (news, jul 21). the lyrics quoted were from the band’s earlier album, obscured by clouds. july 21, 2023we said in a headline that elizabeth winkler’s recent book claimed shakespeare was a woman. (t2, jul 7). ms winkler has asked us to make clear that her book explores various theories, including the possibility of a woman’s hand in the plays, while leaving readers to make up their own minds. july 20, 2023a 41 gun salute to honour the queen’s birthday was performed by members of the king’s troop royal horse artillery, not the honourable artillery company as a caption wrongly said (news, jul 18). july 18, 2023we wrongly said that the vexatious litigant david taheri had used jim davidson’s name to bring dozens of bogus discrimination claims against companies (news, jul 3). in fact only one of almost four dozen vexatious claims filed by taheri used the comedian’s name. we are happy to put the record straight. july 17, 2023the designer of the cha table, commended by viaduct furniture at the new designers graduate exhibition, is helen wat, not amy chan as we wrongly said (bricks & mortar, july 14). we apologise for the error. july 15, 2023an editing error changed “buy to leave” to “buy to let” in a letter from barbara melrose (july 4). we apologise for the confusion. july 10, 2023we wrongly attributed to lord burnett of maldon the view of kirsty brimelow, chair of the criminal bar, that “crumbling courts, delays and the general ongoing crisis in the criminal courts shake confidence in the justice system as a whole.” (news, july 6). our apologies. july 8, 2023in the obituary for paul rendall (june 14) we referred to some post rugby match high jinks in which rendall donned a judge’s wig and “passed sentence” on his friend jeff probyn. we now understand that the incident involved another rugby player and not mr probyn. we apologise for the mistaken identity. july 4, 2023the mcc member whose photograph was used with our article “do mcc members feel part of the problem?” (sport, june 29) was not one of those who spoke to our journalist about the independent commission for equity in cricket report. we are happy to make this clear. july 3, 2023in reporting evidence given in the criminal prosecution of ghislaine maxwell (news, december 2, 2021), we made a wrongful allegation about emmy tayler. we accept that this was not a correct account and apologise sincerely to ms tayler for the harm and upset caused to her. we have agreed to pay damages and legal costs. june 21, 2023norway’s sovereign wealth fund is worth about $1.4 trillion, not $1.4 billion as we wrongly said (news, jun 20). june 19, 2023we said new storeys and departments were to be added at hillingdon hospital (news, jun 17). in fact the hospital is to be demolished and replaced with new buildings. june 10, 2023we said that john morris had been the longest serving welsh mp in history (obituary, june 7). in fact david lloyd george served three more years. june 8, 2023we reported that in the style’s stock had fallen 99.6 per cent in the past year and its founder had announced plans to enter compulsory liquidation (times 2, june 7). in fact it is itsarm, the former parent company of in the style, that made the announcement after the fall in its share price. june 5, 2023raymond simonson is not known as ray and is chief executive of jw3, not the jewish museum as we wrongly said (news, jun 3). we are sorry for the errors. june 2, 2023lord (robert) carswell attended pembroke college, oxford, not cambridge as we wrongly said (obituary, jun 1). may 31, 2023a photo of uwe kitzinger at a march in his nineties (obituary, may 30) showed him with his daughter jenny, not her sister tess as we wrongly said. may 30, 2023we wrongly said that no peer was appointed by a resignation honours list between 1997 and 2016 (news, may 27). in fact, as well as those created in the resignation honours lists of 1997 and 2016, 31 peers were created this way in 2010. may 29, 2023vernon kay is not a party in a court case over planning permission for a cabin near his home (news, may 26). we are happy to make this clear. we stated that an indicative from lecram holdings valued purplebricks at £153 million, rather than £1.53 million (business, may 28). we apologise for the error. may 16, 2023we suggested on november 21, 2022, that dinah rose kc had been ruled against for recklessness by the bar standards board. this was incorrect. the board made no ruling against her and found no evidence of recklessness. we accept that under the constitutional principles which she cited, the bar rules did not allow her to refuse a brief for the cayman islands government in a case concerning the right to same sex marriage. the article was therefore misleading. we apologise to ms rose for the distress caused, and have agreed to pay her substantial damages and legal costs. may 11, 2023in “clock ticking on wasps’ new start” (sport, may 10) we mistakenly reported that the wasps legends charitable foundation was thought to have provided working capital when the club was bought out of administration. it did not. we apologise for the error. may 10, 2023an arrest photographed during the coronation was not that of graham smith, leader of the anti monarchy group republic, as our caption wrongly said (news, may 8). may 8, 2023we wrongly referred to commander allan tarver as an raf pilot (obituary, may 3). commander tarver served with the royal navy’s fleet air arm. we apologise for the error. april 28,2023a photograph showed the king presenting new colours to the life guards, not to the royal navy as our caption wrongly said (news, april 28). april 27, 2023just stop oil’s avowed aim is for the government to stop licensing all new oil, gas and coal projects, not to force an immediate halt to all use of fossil fuels as we said (leading article, apr 27). april 26, 2023lord (narendra) patel is expected to carry the sovereign’s ring at the coronation, not lord (kamlesh) patel of bradford as we wrongly suggested in some editions (news, apr 24). we reported the results of polling by river action uk (“tackling river pollution could bring flood of votes”, news, apr 25). we have since been made aware that yougov gave the charity access to its polling panel on the understanding that results would not be made public, as they were not properly weighted and the questions were not approved by yougov. we are happy to make this clear. april 19, 2023sir nicholas bonsor served as chairman of the british field sports society, not the british association for shooting and conservation as we wrongly said (obituary, apr 8). april 14, 2023we said junior doctors’ pay rises with each year of training (news, apr 13). in fact, their pay scale includes four rises during training that typically takes five to ten years. april 3, 2023member states of the cptpp trade bloc include brunei, not borneo as we wrongly said (leading article, apr 1). april 1, 2023the balaji family featured in “dream holiday ruined, but opodo won’t pay up” (money, mar 26) have since learnt that the £1,310 they thought they were owed had been repaid. we are happy to put the record straight. the picture used to illustrate an article on josé antonio primo de rivera (world news, mar 31) showed his father, miguel. march 30, 2023the culture secretary is lucy frazer, not michelle donelan as we wrongly said (news, mar 29). march 27, 2023we wrongly reported in an obituary of the fencer allan jay (march 22) that he had been briefly engaged to vanessa salmon (who later married nigel lawson). we are happy to set the record straight and apologise for the mistake. march 23, 2023we wrongly said graham stanton had been charged with manslaughter (news, print

editing. february 29, 2023on february 24 we reported that ronesans was the constructor of a 12 storey residence in antakya that collapsed in the earthquake. this was incorrect and we apologise for the error. the 12 storey residence was in fact constructed by an entity that has no connection to ronesans holding. february 28, 2023michael rosen has asked us to correct or clarify a number of points in his interview (weekend, feb 25). he did not use the words “sensitivity reader”. while he said he would not himself now use the words “fat” and “ugly”, he did not comment on whether they should be in other books for children. he was re enacting cowboy films a few years after the holocaust, not “a couple of decades”. he did not say he had worked with the dahl family. his youtube readings have had 128.5 million views, not 300 400 million. he has done what he can to get antisemitic “remixes” of his videos removed from youtube. his wife is a trainee case worker, not an immigration lawyer. we are happy to put the record straight and apologise for the mistakes. we wrongly said that the winnie the pooh books had fallen out of copyright (saturday review, feb 25). in fact aa milne’s books winnie the pooh, the house at pooh corner, when we were very young and now we are six all remain in copyright in the uk and much of the rest of the world. february 20, 2023our brief summary of a news story on house prices was unclear, wrongly suggesting they had risen only £14 in a year (feb 20). as the full story explained, reported figures indicate that on average prices rose by £14 in the last month. the rise over a year was £13,648. we apologise for the confusion. february 19, 2023we reported that the rower miriam payne, 23, had set a new atlantic record (feb 18). we have been asked to make clear

the times was founded as the conservative new york daily times in 1851, and came to national recognition in the 1870s with its aggressive coverage of corrupt politician william m. tweed. following the panic of 1893, chattanooga times publisher adolph ochs gained a controlling interest in the company. in 1935, ochs was succeeded by his son in law, arthur hays sulzberger, who began a push into european news. sulzberger's son in law arthur ochs became publisher in 1963, adapting to a changing newspaper industry and introducing radical changes. the new york times was involved in the landmark 1964 u.s. supreme court case new york times co. v. sullivan, which restricted the ability of public officials to sue the media for defamation. in 1971, the new york times published the pentagon papers, an internal department of defense document detailing the united states's historical involvement in the vietnam war, despite pushback from then president richard nixon. in the landmark decision new york times co. v. united states (1971), the supreme court ruled that the first amendment guaranteed the right to publish the pentagon papers. in the 1980s, the times began a two decade progression to digital technology and launched nytimes.com in 1996. in the 21st century, the new york times has shifted its publication online amid the global decline of newspapers. the times has expanded to several other publications, including the new york times magazine, the new york times international edition, and the new york times book review. in addition, the paper has produced several television series, podcasts   including the daily   and games through the new york times games. the new york times has been involved in several controversies in its history. the times maintains several regional bureaus staffed with journalists across six continents, and has received 137 pulitzer prizes as of 2023, the most of any publication, among other accolades. the new york times was established in 1851 by new york tribune journalists henry jarvis raymond and george jones.[4] the times experienced significant circulation, particularly among conservatives; new york tribune publisher horace greeley praised the new york daily times.[5] during the american civil war, times correspondents gathered information directly from confederate states.[6] in 1869, jones inherited the paper from raymond,[7] who had changed its name to the new york times.[8] under jones, the times began to publish a series of articles criticizing tammany hall political boss william m. tweed, despite vehement opposition from other new york newspapers.[9] in 1871, the new york times published tammany hall's accounting books; tweed was tried in 1873 and sentenced to twelve years in prison. the times earned national recognition for its coverage of tweed.[10] in 1891, jones died, creating a management imbroglio in which his children had insufficient business acumen to inherit the company and his will prevented an acquisition of the times.[11] editor in chief charles ransom miller, editorial editor edward cary, and correspondent george f. spinney established a company to manage the new york times,[12] but faced financial difficulties during the panic of 1893.[13] in august 1896, chattanooga times publisher adolph ochs acquired the new york times, implementing significant alterations to the newspaper's structure. ochs established the times as a merchant's newspaper and removed the hyphen from the newspaper's name.[14] in 1905, the new york times opened times tower, marking expansion.[15] the times experienced a political realignment in the 1910s amid several disagreements within the republican party.[16] the new york times reported on the sinking of the titanic, as other newspapers were cautious about bulletins circulated by the associated press.[17] through managing editor carr van anda, the times focused on scientific advancements, reporting on albert einstein's then unknown theory of general relativity and becoming involved in the discovery of the tomb of tutankhamun.[18] in april 1935, ochs died, leaving his son in law arthur hays sulzberger as publisher.[19] the great depression forced sulzberger to reduce the new york times's operations,[20] and developments in the new york newspaper landscape resulted in the formation of larger newspapers, such as the new york herald tribune and the new york world telegram.[21] in contrast to ochs, sulzberger encouraged wirephotography.[22] the new york times extensively covered world war ii through large headlines,[23] reporting on exclusive stories such as the yugoslav coup d'état.[24] amid the war, sulzberger began expanding the times's operations further, acquiring wqxr fm in 1944   the first non times investment since the jones era   and established a fashion show in times hall. despite reductions as a result of conscription, the new york times retained the largest journalism staff of any newspaper.[25] the times's print edition became available internationally during the war through the army & air force exchange service; the new york times overseas weekly later became available in japan through the asahi shimbun and in germany through the frankfurter zeitung. the international edition would develop into a separate newspaper.[26] journalist william l. laurence publicized the atomic bomb race between the united states and germany, resulting in the federal bureau of investigation seizing copies of the times. the united states government recruited laurence to document the manhattan project in april 1945.[27] laurence became the only witness of the manhattan project, a detail realized by employees of the new york times following the atomic bombing of hiroshima.[28] following world war ii, the new york times continued to expand.[29] the times was subject to investigations from the senate internal security subcommittee, a mccarthyist subcommittee that investigated purported communism from within press institutions. arthur hays sulzberger's decision to dismiss a copyreader who had pleaded the fifth amendment drew ire from within the times and from external organizations.[30] in april 1961, sulzberger resigned, appointing his son in law, the new york times company president orvil dryfoos.[31] under dryfoos, the new york times established a newspaper based in los angeles.[32] in 1962, the implementation of automated printing presses in response to increasing costs mounted fears over technological unemployment. the new york typographical union staged a strike in december, altering the media consumption of new yorkers. the strike left new york with three remaining newspapers   the times, the daily news, and the new york post   by its conclusion in march 1963.[33] in may, dryfoos died of a heart ailment.[34] following weeks of ambiguity, arthur ochs sulzberger became the new york times's publisher.[35] technological advancements leveraged by newspapers such as the los angeles times and improvements in coverage from the washington post and the wall street journal necessitated adaptations to nascent computing.[36] the new york times published "heed their rising voices" in 1960, a full page advertisement purchased by supporters of martin luther king jr. criticizing law enforcement in montgomery, alabama for their response to the civil rights movement. montgomery public safety commissioner l. b. sullivan sued the times for defamation. in new york times co. v. sullivan (1964), the u.s. supreme court ruled that the verdict in alabama county court and the supreme court of alabama violated the first amendment.[37] the decision is considered to be landmark.[38] after financial losses, the new york times ended its international edition, acquiring a stake in the paris herald tribune, forming the international herald tribune.[39] the times initially published the pentagon papers, facing opposition from then president richard nixon. the supreme court ruled in the new york times's favor in new york times co. v. united states (1971), allowing the times and the washington post to publish the papers.[40] the new york times remained cautious in its initial coverage of the watergate scandal.[41] as congress began investigating the scandal, the times furthered its coverage,[42] publishing details on the huston plan, alleged wiretapping of reporters and officials,[43] and testimony from james w. mccord jr. that the committee for the re election of the president paid the conspirators off.[44] the exodus of readers to suburban new york newspapers, such as newsday and gannett papers, adversely affected the new york times's circulation.[45] contemporary newspapers balked at additional sections; time devoted a cover for its criticism and new york wrote that the times was engaging in "middle class self absorption".[46] the new york times, the daily news, and the new york post were the subject of a strike in 1978,[47] allowing emerging newspapers to leverage halted coverage.[48] the times deliberately avoided coverage of the aids epidemic, running its first front page article in may 1983. max frankel's editorial coverage of the epidemic, with mentions of anal intercourse, contrasted with then executive editor a. m. rosenthal's puritan approach, intentionally avoiding descriptions of the luridity of gay venues.[49] following years of waning interest in the new york times, sulzberger resigned in january 1992, appointing his son, arthur ochs sulzberger jr., as publisher.[50] the internet represented a generational shift within the times; sulzberger, who negotiated the new york times company's acquisition of the boston globe in 1993, derided the internet, while his son expressed antithetical views. @times appeared on america online's website in may 1994 as an extension of the new york times, featuring news articles, film reviews, sports news, and business articles.[51] despite opposition, several employees of the times had begun to access the internet.[52] the online success of publications that traditionally co existed with the times   such as america online, yahoo, and cnn   and the expansion of websites such as monster.com and craigslist that threatened the new york times's classified advertisement model increased efforts to develop a website.[53] nytimes.com debuted on january 19 and was formally announced three days later.[54] the times published domestic terrorist ted kaczynski's essay industrial society and its future in 1995, contributing to his arrest after his brother david recognized the essay's penmanship.[55] following the establishment of nytimes.com, the new york times retained its journalistic hesitancy under executive editor joseph lelyveld, refusing to publish an article reporting on the clinton lewinsky scandal from drudge report. nytimes.com editors conflicted with print editors on several occasions, including wrongfully naming security guard richard jewell as the suspect in the centennial olympic park bombing and covering the death of diana, princess of wales in greater detail than the print edition.[56] the new york times electronic media company was adversely affected by the dot com crash.[57] the times extensively covered the september 11 attacks. the following day's print issue contained sixty six articles,[58] the work of over three hundred dispatched reporters.[59] journalist judith miller was the recipient of a package containing a white powder during the 2001 anthrax attacks, furthering anxiety within the new york times.[60] in september 2002, miller and military correspondent michael r. gordon wrote an article for the times claiming that iraq had purchased aluminum tubes. the article was cited by then president george w. bush to claim that iraq was constructing weapons of mass destruction; the theoretical use of aluminum tubes to produce nuclear material was speculation.[61] in march 2003, the united states invaded iraq, beginning the iraq war.[62] the new york times attracted controversy after thirty six articles[63] from journalist jayson blair were discovered to be plagiarized.[64] criticism over then executive editor howell raines and then managing editor gerald m. boyd mounted following the scandal, culminating in a town hall in which a deputy editor criticized raines for failing to question blair's sources in article he wrote on the d.c. sniper attacks.[65] in june 2003, raines and boyd resigned.[66] arthur ochs sulzberger jr. appointed bill keller as executive editor.[67] miller continued to report on the iraq war as a journalistic embed covering the country's weapons of mass destruction program. keller and then washington bureau chief jill abramson unsuccessfully attempted to subside criticism. conservative media criticized the times over its coverage of missing explosives from the al qa'qaa weapons facility.[68] an article in december 2005 disclosing warrantless surveillance by the national security agency contributed to further criticism from the george w. bush administration and the senate's refusal to renew the patriot act.[69] in the plame affair, a central intelligence agency inquiry found that miller had become aware of valerie plame's identity through then vice president dick cheney's chief of staff scooter libby, resulting in miller's resignation.[70] during the great recession, the new york times suffered significant fiscal difficulties as a consequence of the subprime mortgage crisis and a decline in classified advertising.[71] exacerbated by rupert murdoch's revitalization of the wall street journal through his acquisition of dow jones & company, the new york times company began enacting measures to reduce the newsroom budget. the company was forced to borrow $250 million (equivalent to $353.79 million in 2023) from mexican billionaire carlos slim and fired over one hundred employees by 2010.[72] nytimes.com's coverage of the eliot spitzer prostitution scandal, resulting in the resignation of then new york governor eliot spitzer, furthered the legitimacy of the website as a journalistic medium.[73] the times's economic downturn renewed discussions of an online paywall;[74] the new york times implemented a paywall in march 2011.[75] abramson succeeded keller,[76] continuing her characteristic investigations into corporate and government malfeasance into the times's coverage.[77] following conflicts with newly appointed chief executive mark thompson's ambitions,[78] abramson was dismissed by sulzberger jr., who named dean baquet as her replacement.[79] leading up to the 2016 presidential election, the new york times elevated the hillary clinton email controversy[80] into the single most important issue during the election campaign.[81][82][83] donald trump's upset victory contributed to an increase in subscriptions to the times.[84] the new york times experienced unprecedented indignation from trump, who referred to publications such as the times as "enemies of the people" at the conservative political action conference and tweeted his disdain for the newspaper and cnn.[85] in october 2017, the new york times published an article by journalists jodi kantor and megan twohey alleging that dozens of women had accused film producer and the weinstein company co chairman harvey weinstein of sexual misconduct.[86] the investigation resulted in weinstein's resignation and conviction,[87] precipitated the weinstein effect,[88] and served as a catalyst for the #metoo movement.[89] the new york times company vacated the public editor position[90] and eliminated the copy desk in november.[91] sulzberger jr. announced his resignation in december 2017, appointing his son, a. g. sulzberger, as publisher.[92] trump's relationship   equally diplomatic and negative   marked sulzberger's tenure.[93] in september 2018, the new york times published "i am part of the resistance inside the trump administration", an anonymous essay by a self described trump administration official later revealed to be department of homeland security chief of staff miles taylor.[94] the animosity   which extended to nearly three hundred instances of trump disparaging the times by may 2019[95]   culminated in trump ordering federal agencies to cancel their subscriptions to the new york times and the washington post in october 2019.[96] trump's tax returns have been the subject of three separate investigations.[c] during the covid 19 pandemic, the times began implementing data services and graphs.[100] on may 23, 2020, the new york times's front page solely featured u.s. deaths near 100,000, an incalculable loss, a subset of the 100,000 people in the united states who died of covid 19, the first time that the times's front page lacked images since they were introduced.[101] since 2020, the new york times has focused on broader diversification, developing online games and producing television series.[102] the new york times company acquired the athletic in january 2022.[103] since 1896, the new york times has been published by the ochs sulzberger family, having previously been published by henry jarvis raymond until 1869[104] and by george jones until 1896.[105] adolph ochs published the times until his death in 1935,[106] when he was succeeded by his son in law, arthur hays sulzberger. sulzberger was publisher until 1961[107] and was succeeded by orvil dryfoos, his son in law, who served in the position until his death in 1963.[108] arthur ochs sulzberger succeeded dryfoos until his resignation in 1992.[109] his son, arthur ochs sulzberger jr., served as publisher until 2018. the new york times's current publisher is a. g. sulzberger, sulzberger jr.'s son.[92] as of 2023, the times's executive editor is joseph kahn[110] and the paper's managing editors are marc lacey and carolyn ryan, having been appointed in june 2022.[111] the new york times's deputy managing editors are sam dolnick,[112] monica drake,[113] and steve duenes,[114] and the paper's assistant managing editors are matthew ericson,[115] jonathan galinsky, hannah poferl, sam sifton, karron skog,[116] and michael slackman.[117] the new york times is owned by the new york times company, a publicly traded company. the new york times company, in addition to the times, owns wirecutter, the athletic, the new york times cooking, and the new york times games, and acquired serial productions and audm. the new york times company holds undisclosed minority investments in multiple other businesses, and formerly owned the boston globe and several radio and television stations.[118] the new york times company is majority owned by the ochs sulzberger family through elevated shares in the company's dual class stock structure held largely in a trust, in effect since the 1950s;[119] as of 2022, the family holds ninety five percent of the new york times company's class b shares, allowing it to elect seventy percent of the company's board of directors.[120] class a shareholders have restrictive voting rights.[121] as of 2023, the new york times company's chief executive is meredith kopit levien, the company's former chief operating officer who was appointed in september 2020.[122] as of march 2023, the new york times company employs 5,800 individuals,[102] including 1,700 journalists according to deputy managing editor sam dolnick.[123] journalists for the new york times may not run for public office, provide financial support to political candidates or causes, endorse candidates, or demonstrate public support for causes or movements.[124] journalists are subject to the guidelines established in "ethical journalism" and "guidelines on integrity".[125] according to the former, times journalists must abstain from using sources with a personal relationship to them and must not accept reimbursements or inducements from individuals who may be written about in the new york times, with exceptions for gifts of nominal value.[126] the latter requires attribution and exact quotations, though exceptions are made for linguistic anomalies. staff writers are expected to ensure the veracity of all written claims, but may delegate researching obscure facts to the research desk.[127] in march 2021, the times established a committee to avoid journalistic conflicts of interest with work written for the new york times, following columnist david brooks's resignation from the aspen institute for his undisclosed work on the initiative weave.[128] the new york times editorial board was established in 1896 by adolph ochs. with the opinion department, the editorial board is independent of the newsroom.[168] then editor in chief charles ransom miller served as opinion editor from 1883 until his death in 1922.[169] rollo ogden succeeded miller until his death in 1937.[170] from 1937 to 1938, john huston finley served as opinion editor; in a prearranged plan, charles merz succeeded finley.[171] merz served in the position until his retirement in 1961.[172] john bertram oakes served as opinion editor from 1961 to 1976, when then publisher arthur ochs sulzberger appointed max frankel.[173] frankel served in the position until 1986, when he was appointed as executive editor.[174] jack rosenthal was the opinion editor from 1986 to 1993.[175] howell raines succeeded rosenthal until 2001, when he was made executive editor.[176] gail collins succeeded raines until her resignation in 2006.[177] from 2007 to 2016, andrew rosenthal was the opinion editor.[178] james bennet succeeded rosenthal until his resignation in 2020.[179] as of july 2024[update], the editorial board comprises thirteen opinion writers.[180] the new york times's opinion editor is kathleen kingsbury[181] and the deputy opinion editor is patrick healy.[116] the new york times's editorial board was initially opposed to liberal beliefs, opposing women's suffrage in 1900 and 1914. the editorial board began to espouse progressive beliefs during oakes' tenure, conflicting with the ochs sulzberger family, of which oakes was a member as adolph ochs's nephew; in 1976, oakes publicly disagreed with sulzberger's endorsement of daniel patrick moynihan over bella abzug in the 1976 senate democratic primaries in a letter sent from martha's vineyard. under rosenthal, the editorial board took positions supporting assault weapons legislation and the legalization of marijuana, but publicly criticized the obama administration over its portrayal of terrorism.[178] in presidential elections, the new york times has endorsed a total of twelve republican candidates and thirty two democratic candidates, and has endorsed the democrat in every election since 1960.[182][183][j] with the exception of wendell willkie, republicans endorsed by the times have won the presidency. in 2016, the editorial board issued an anti endorsement against donald trump for the first time in its history.[184] in february 2020, the editorial board reduced its presence from several editorials each day to occasional editorials for events deemed particularly significant. since august 2024, the board no longer endorses candidates in local or congressional races in new york.[185] since 1940, editorial, media, and technology workers of the new york times have been represented by the new york times guild. the times guild, along with the times tech guild, are represented by the newsguild cwa.[186] in 1940, arthur hays sulzberger was called upon by the national labor relations board amid accusations that he had discouraged guild membership in the times. over the next few years, the guild would ratify several contracts, expanding to editorial and news staff in 1942 and maintenance workers in 1943.[187] the new york times guild has walked out several times in its history, including for six and a half hours in 1981[188] and in 2017, when copy editors and reporters walked out at lunchtime in response to the elimination of the copy desk.[189] on december 7, 2022, the union held a one day strike,[190] the first interruption to the new york times since 1978.[191] the new york times guild reached an agreement in may 2023 to increase minimum salaries for employees and a retroactive bonus.[192] the times tech guild is the largest technology union with collective bargaining rights in the united states.[193] the guild held a second strike beginning on november 4, 2024, threatening the times's coverage of the 2024 united states presidential election.[194] in october 2001, the new york times began publishing dealbook, a financial newsletter edited by andrew ross sorkin. the times had intended to publish the newsletter in september, but delayed its debut following the september 11 attacks.[200] a website for dealbook was established in march 2006.[201] the new york times began shifting towards dealbook as part of the newspaper's financial coverage in november 2010 with a renewed website and a presence in the times's print edition.[202] in 2011, the times began hosting the dealbook summit, an annual conference hosted by sorkin.[203] during the covid 19 pandemic, the new york times hosted the dealbook online summit in 2020[204] and 2021.[205] the 2022 dealbook summit featured   among other speakers   former vice president mike pence and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu,[206] culminating in an interview with former ftx chief executive sam bankman fried; ftx had filed for bankruptcy several weeks prior.[207] the 2023 dealbook summit's speakers included vice president kamala harris, israeli president isaac herzog, and businessman elon musk.[203] in june 2010, the new york times licensed the political blog fivethirtyeight in a three year agreement.[208] the blog, written by nate silver, had garnered attention during the 2008 presidential election for predicting the elections in forty nine of fifty states. fivethirtyeight appeared on nytimes.com in august.[209] according to silver, several offers were made for the blog; silver wrote that a merger of unequals must allow for editorial sovereignty and resources from the acquirer, comparing himself to groucho marx.[210] according to the new republic, fivethirtyeight drew as much as a fifth of the traffic to nytimes.com during the 2012 presidential election.[211] in july 2013, fivethirtyeight was sold to espn.[212] in an article following silver's exit, public editor margaret sullivan wrote that he was disruptive to the times's culture for his perspective on probability based predictions and scorn for polling   having stated that punditry is "fundamentally useless", comparing him to billy beane, who implemented sabermetrics in baseball. according to sullivan, his work was criticized by several notable political journalists.[213] the new republic obtained a memo in november 2013 revealing then washington bureau chief david leonhardt's ambitions to establish a data driven newsletter with presidential historian michael beschloss, graphic designer amanda cox, economist justin wolfers, and the new republic journalist nate cohn.[214] by march, leonhardt had amassed fifteen employees from within the new york times; the newsletter's staff included individuals who had created the times's dialect quiz, fourth down analyzer, and a calculator for determining buying or renting a home.[215] the upshot debuted in april 2014.[216] fast company reviewed an article about illinois secure choice   a state funded retirement saving system   as "neither a terse news item, nor a formal financial advice column, nor a politically charged response to economic policy", citing its informal and neutral tone.[217] the upshot developed "the needle" for the 2016 presidential election and 2020 presidential elections, a thermometer dial displaying the probability of a candidate winning.[218] in january 2016, cox was named editor of the upshot.[219] kevin quealy was named editor in june 2022.[220] according to an internal readership poll conducted by the new york times in 2019, eighty four percent of readers identified as liberal.[221] in february 1942, the new york times crossword debuted in the new york times magazine; according to richard shepard, the attack on pearl harbor in december 1941 convinced then publisher arthur hays sulzberger of the necessity of a crossword.[222] the new york times has published recipes since the 1850s and has had a separate food section since the 1940s.[223] in 1961, restaurant critic craig claiborne published the new york times cookbook,[224] an unauthorized cookbook that drew from the times's recipes.[225] since 2010, former food editor amanda hesser has published the essential new york times cookbook, a compendium of recipes from the new york times.[226] the innovation report in 2014 revealed that the times had attempted to establish a cooking website since 1998, but faced difficulties with the absence of a defined data structure.[227] in september 2014, the new york times introduced nyt cooking, an application and website.[228] edited by food editor sam sifton,[225] the times's cooking website features 21,000 recipes as of 2022.[229] nyt cooking features videos as part of an effort by sifton to hire two former tasty employees from buzzfeed.[225] in august 2023, nyt cooking added personalized recommendations through the cosine similarity of text embeddings of recipe titles.[230] the website also features no recipe recipes, a concept proposed by sifton.[231] the new york times archives its articles in a basement annex beneath its building known as "the morgue", a venture started by managing editor carr van anda in 1907. the morgue comprises news clippings, a pictures library, and the times's book and periodicals library. as of 2014, it is the largest library of any media company, dating back to 1851.[237] in november 2018, the new york times partnered with google to digitize the archival library.[238] additionally, the new york times has maintained a virtual microfilm reader known as timesmachine since 2014. the service launched with archives from 1851 to 1980; in 2016, timesmachine expanded to include archives from 1981 to 2002. the times built a pipeline to take in tiff images, article metadata in xml and an ini file of cartesian geometry describing the boundaries of the page, and convert it into a png of image tiles and json containing the information in the xml and ini files. the image tiles are generated using gdal and displayed using leaflet, using data from a content delivery network. the times ran optical character recognition on the articles using tesseract and shingled and fuzzy string matched the result.[239] the new york times uses a proprietary[240] content management system known as scoop for its online content and the microsoft word based content management system cci for its print content. scoop was developed in 2008 to serve as a secondary content management system for editors working in cci to publish their content on the times's website; as part of the new york times's online endeavors, editors now write their content in scoop and send their work to cci for print publication. since its introduction, scoop has superseded several processes within the times, including print edition planning and collaboration, and features tools such as multimedia integration, notifications, content tagging, and drafts. the new york times uses private articles for high profile opinion pieces, such as those written by russian president vladimir putin and actress angelina jolie, and for high level investigations.[241] in january 2012, the times released integrated content editor (ice), a revision tracking tool for wordpress and tinymce. ice is integrated within the times's workflow by providing a unified text editor for print and online editors, reducing the divide between print and online operations.[242] by 2017,[243] the new york times began developing a new authoring tool to its content management system known as oak, in an attempt to further the times's visual efforts in articles and reduce the discrepancy between the mediums in print and online articles.[244] the system reduces the input of editors and supports additional visual mediums in an editor that resembles the appearance of the article.[243] oak is based on prosemirror, a javascript rich text editor toolkit, and retains the revision tracking and commenting functionalities of the new york times's previous systems. additionally, oak supports predefined article headers.[245] in 2019, oak was updated to support collaborative editing using firebase to update editors's cursor status. several google cloud functions and google cloud tasks allow articles to be previewed as they will be printed, and the times's primary mysql database is regularly updated to update editors on the article status.[246] since 1895, the new york times has maintained a manual of style in several forms. the new york times manual of style and usage was published on the times's intranet in 1999.[247] the new york times uses honorifics when referring to individuals. with the ap stylebook's removal of honorifics in 2000 and the wall street journal's omission of courtesy titles in may 2023, the times is the only national newspaper that continues to use honorifics. according to former copy editor merrill perlman, the new york times continues to use honorifics as a "sign of civility".[248] the times's use of courtesy titles led to an apocryphal rumor that the paper had referred to singer meat loaf as "mr. loaf".[249] several exceptions have been made; the former sports section and the new york times book review do not use honorifics.[250] a leaked memo following the killing of osama bin laden in may 2011 revealed that editors were given a last minute instruction to omit the honorific from osama bin laden's name, consistent with deceased figures of historic significance, such as adolf hitler, napoleon, and vladimir lenin.[251] the new york times uses academic and military titles for individuals prominently serving in that position.[252] in 1986, the times began to use ms.,[250] and introduced the gender neutral title mx. in 2015.[253] the new york times uses initials when a subject has expressed a preference, such as donald trump.[254] the new york times maintains a strict but not absolute obscenity policy, including phrases. in a review of the canadian hardcore punk band fucked up, music critic kelefa sanneh wrote that the band's name   entirely rendered in asterisks   would not be printed in the times "unless an american president, or someone similar, says it by mistake";[255] the new york times did not repeat then vice president dick cheney's use of "fuck" against then senator patrick leahy in 2004[256] or then vice president joe biden's remarks that the passage of the affordable care act in 2010 was a "big fucking deal".[257] the times's profanity policy has been tested by former president donald trump. the new york times published trump's access hollywood tape in october 2016, containing the words "fuck", "pussy", "bitch", and "tits", the first time the publication had published an expletive on its front page,[258] and repeated an explicit phrase for fellatio stated by then white house communications director anthony scaramucci in july 2017.[259] the new york times omitted trump's use of the phrase "shithole countries" from its headline in favor of "vulgar language" in january 2018.[260] the times banned certain words, such as "bitch", "whore", and "sluts", from wordle in 2022.[261] journalists for the new york times do not write their own headlines, but rather copy editors who specifically write headlines. the times's guidelines insist headline editors get to the main point of an article but avoid giving away endings, if present. other guidelines include using slang "sparingly", avoiding tabloid headlines, not ending a line on a preposition, article, or adjective, and chiefly, not to pun. the new york times manual of style and usage states that wordplay, such as "rubber industry bounces back", is to be tested on a colleague as a canary is to be tested in a coal mine; "when no song bursts forth, start rewriting".[262] the new york times has amended headlines due to controversy. in 2019, following two back to back mass shootings in el paso and dayton, the times used the headline, "trump urges unity vs. racism", to describe then president donald trump's words after the shootings. after criticism from fivethirtyeight founder nate silver, the headline was changed to, "assailing hate but not guns".[263] online, the new york times's headlines do not face the same length restrictions as headlines that appear in print; print headlines must fit within a column, often six words. additionally, headlines must "break" properly, containing a complete thought on each line without splitting up prepositions and adverbs. writers may edit a headline to fit an article more aptly if further developments occur. the times uses a/b testing for articles on the front page, placing two headlines against each other. at the end of the test, the headlines that receives more traffic is chosen.[264] the alteration of a headline regarding intercepted russian data used in the mueller special counsel investigation was noted by trump in a march 2017 interview with time, in which he claimed that the headline used the word "wiretapped" in the print version of the paper on january 20, while the digital article on january 19 omitted the word. the headline was intentionally changed in the print version to use "wiretapped" in order to fit within the print guidelines.[265] the nameplate of the new york times has been unaltered since 1967. in creating the initial nameplate, henry jarvis raymond sought to model the london times, which used a blackletter style called textura, popularized following the fall of the western roman empire and regional variations of alcuin's script, as well as a period. with the change to the new york times on september 14, 1857, the nameplate followed. under george jones, the terminals of the "n", "r", and "s" were intentionally exaggerated into swashes. the nameplate in the january 15, 1894, issue trimmed the terminals once more, smoothed the edges, and turned the stem supporting the "t" into an ornament. the hyphen was dropped on december 1, 1896, after adolph ochs purchased the paper. the descender of the "h" was shortened on december 30, 1914. the largest change to the nameplate was introduced on february 21, 1967, when type designer ed benguiat redesigned the logo, most prominently turning the arrow ornament into a diamond. notoriously, the new logo dropped the period that remained with the times up until that point; one reader compared the omission of the period to "performing plastic surgery on helen of troy." picture editor john radosta worked with a new york university professor to determine that dropping the period saved the paper us$41.28 (equivalent to $377.21 in 2023).[266] as of december 2023, the new york times has printed sixty thousand issues, a statistic represented in the paper's masthead to the right of the volume number, the times's years in publication written in roman numerals.[267] the volume and issues are separated by four dots representing the edition number of that issue; on the day of the 2000 presidential election, the times was revised four separate times, necessitating the use of an em dash in place of an ellipsis.[268] the em dash issue was printed hundreds times over before being replaced by the one dot issue. despite efforts by newsroom employees to recycle copies sent to the new york times's office, several copies were kept, including one put on display at the museum at the times.[269] from february 7, 1898, to december 31, 1999, the times's issue number was incorrect by five hundred issues, an error suspected by the atlantic to be the result of a careless front page type editor. the misreporting was noticed by news editor aaron donovan, who was calculating the number of issues in a spreadsheet and noticed the discrepancy. the new york times celebrated fifty thousand issues on march 14, 1995, an observance that should have occurred on july 26, 1996.[270] the new york times has reduced the physical size of its print edition while retaining its broadsheet format. the new york daily times debuted at 18 inches (460 mm) across. by the 1950s, the times was being printed at 16 inches (410 mm) across. in 1953, an increase in paper costs to us$10 (equivalent to $113.88 in 2023) a ton increased newsprint costs to us$21.7 million (equivalent to $308,616,417.91 in 2023) on december 28, 1953, the pages were reduced to 15.5 inches (390 mm). on february 14, 1955, a further reduction to 15 inches (380 mm) occurred, followed by 14.5 and 13.5 inches (370 and 340 mm). on august 6, 2007, the largest cut occurred when the pages were reduced to 12 inches (300 mm),[k] a decision that other broadsheets had previously considered. then executive editor bill keller stated that a narrower paper would be more beneficial to the reader but acknowledged a net loss in article space of five percent.[271] in 1985, the new york times company established a minority stake in a us$21.7 million (equivalent to $308,616,417.91 in 2023) newsprint plant in clermont, quebec through donahue malbaie.[272] the company sold its equity interest in donahue malbaie in 2017.[273] the new york times often uses large, bolded headlines for major events. for the print version of the times, these headlines are written by one copy editor, reviewed by two other copy editors, approved by the masthead editors, and polished by other print editors. the process is completed before 8 p.m., but it may be repeated if further development occur, as did take place during the 2020 presidential election. on the day joe biden was declared the winner, the new york times utilized a "hammer headline" reading, "biden beats trump", in all caps and bolded. a dozen journalists discussed several potential headlines, such as "it's biden" or "biden's moment", and prepared for a donald trump victory, in which they would use "trump prevails".[274] during trump's first impeachment, the times drafted the hammer headline, "trump impeached". the new york times altered the ligatures between the e and the a, as not doing so would leave a noticeable gap due to the stem of the a sloping away from the e. the times reused the tight kerning for "biden beats trump" and trump's second impeachment, which simply read, "impeached".[275] in cases where two major events occur on the same day or immediately after each other, the new york times has used a "paddle wheel" headline, where both headlines are used but split by a line. the term dates back to august 8, 1959, when it was revealed that the united states was monitoring soviet missile firings and when explorer 6   shaped like a paddle wheel   launched. since then, the paddle wheel has been used several times, including on january 21, 1981, when ronald reagan was sworn in minutes before iran released fifty two american hostages, ending the iran hostage crisis. at the time, most newspapers favored the end of the hostage crisis, but the times placed the inauguration above the crisis. since 1981, the paddle wheel has been used twice; on july 26, 2000, when the 2000 camp david summit ended without an agreement and when bush announced that dick cheney would be his running mate, and on june 24, 2016, when the united kingdom european union membership referendum passed, beginning brexit, and when the supreme court deadlocked in united states v. texas.[276] the new york times has run editorials from its editorial board on the front page twice. on june 13, 1920, the times ran an editorial opposing warren g. harding, who was nominated during that year's republican party presidential primaries.[277] amid growing acceptance to run editorials on the front pages[278] from publications such as the detroit free press, the patriot news, the arizona republic, and the indianapolis star, the new york times ran an editorial on its front page on december 5, 2015, following a terrorist attack in san bernardino, california, in which fourteen people were killed.[279] the editorial advocates for the prohibition of "slightly modified combat rifles" used in the san bernardino shooting and "certain kinds of ammunition".[277] conservative figures, including texas senator ted cruz, the weekly standard editor bill kristol, fox & friends co anchor steve doocy, and then new jersey governor chris christie criticized the times. talk radio host erick erickson acquired an issue of the new york times to fire several rounds into the paper, posting a picture online.[280] since 1997,[281] the new york times's primary distribution center is located in college point, queens. the facility is 300,000 sq ft (28,000 m2) and employs 170 people as of 2017. the college point distribution center prints 300,000 to 800,000 newspapers daily. on most occasions, presses start before 11 p.m. and finish before 3 a.m. a robotic crane grabs a roll of newsprint and several rollers ensure ink can be printed on paper. the final newspapers are wrapped in plastic and shipped out.[282] as of 2018, the college point facility accounted for 41 percent of production. other copies are printed at 26 other publications, such as the atlanta journal constitution, the dallas morning news, the santa fe new mexican, and the courier journal. with the decline of newspapers, particularly regional publications, the times must travel further; for example, newspapers for hawaii are flown from san francisco on united airlines, and sunday papers are flown from los angeles on hawaiian airlines. computer glitches, mechanical issues, and weather phenomena affect circulation but do not stop the paper from reaching customers.[283] the college point facility prints over two dozen other papers, including the wall street journal and usa today.[284] the new york times has halted its printing process several times to account for major developments. the first printing stoppage occurred on march 31, 1968, when then president lyndon b. johnson announced that he would not seek a second term. other press stoppages include may 19, 1994, for the death of former first lady jacqueline kennedy onassis, and july 17, 1996, for trans world airlines flight 800. the 2000 presidential election necessitated two press stoppages. al gore appeared to concede on november 8, forcing then executive editor joseph lelyveld to stop the times's presses to print a new headline, "bush appears to defeat gore", with a story that stated george w. bush was elected president. however, gore held off his concession speech over doubts over florida. lelyveld reran the headline, "bush and gore vie for an edge". since 2000, three printing stoppages have been issued for the death of william rehnquist on september 3, 2005, for the killing of osama bin laden on may 1, 2011, and for the passage of the marriage equality act in the new york state assembly and subsequent signage by then governor andrew cuomo on june 24, 2011.[285] the new york times website is hosted at nytimes.com. it has undergone several major redesigns and infrastructure developments since its debut. in april 2006, the new york times redesigned its website with an emphasis on multimedia.[286] in preparation for super tuesday in february 2008, the times developed a live election system using the associated press's file transfer protocol (ftp) service and a ruby on rails application; nytimes.com experienced its largest traffic on super tuesday and the day after.[287] the nytimes application debuted with the introduction of the app store on july 10, 2008. engadget's scott mcnulty wrote critically of the app, negatively comparing it to the new york times's mobile website.[288] an ipad version with select articles was released on april 3, 2010, with the release of the first generation ipad.[289] in october, the new york times expanded nyt editors' choice to include the paper's full articles. nyt for ipad was free until 2011.[290] the times applications on iphone and ipad began offering in app subscriptions in july 2011.[291] the times released a web application for ipad   featuring a format summarizing trending headlines on twitter[292]   and a windows 8 application in october 2012.[293] efforts to ensure profitability through an online magazine and a "need to know" subscription emerged in adweek in july 2013.[294] in march 2014, the new york times announced three applications   nyt now, an application that offers pertinent news in a blog format, and two unnamed applications, later known as nyt opinion[295] and nyt cooking[227]   to diversify its product laterals.[296] the daily is the modern front page of the new york times. the new york times manages several podcasts, including multiple podcasts with serial productions. the times's longest running podcast is the book review podcast,[298] debuting as inside the new york times book review in april 2006.[299] the new york times's defining podcast is the daily,[297] a daily news podcast hosted by michael barbaro and, since march 2022, sabrina tavernise.[300] the podcast debuted on february 1, 2017.[301] the new york times has used video games as part of its journalistic efforts, among the first publications to do so,[304] contributing to an increase in internet traffic;[305] the publication has also developed its own video games. in 2014, the new york times magazine introduced spelling bee, a word game in which players guess words from a set of letters in a honeycomb and are awarded points for the length of the word and receive extra points if the word is a pangram.[306] the game was proposed by will shortz, created by frank longo, and has been maintained by sam ezersky. in may 2018, spelling bee was published on nytimes.com, furthering its popularity.[307] in february 2019, the times introduced letter boxed, in which players form words from letters placed on the edges of a square box,[308] followed in june 2019 by tiles, a matching game in which players form sequences of tile pairings, and vertex, in which players connect vertices to assemble an image.[309] in july 2023, the new york times introduced connections, in which players identify groups of words that are connected by a common property.[310] in april, the times introduced digits, a game that required using operations on different values to reach a set number; digits was shut down in august.[311] in march 2024, the new york times released strands, a themed word search.[312] in january 2022, the new york times company acquired wordle, a word game developed by josh wardle in 2021, at a valuation in the "low seven figures".[313] the acquisition was proposed by david perpich, a member of the sulzberger family who proposed the purchase to knight[314] over slack after reading about the game.[315] the washington post purportedly considered acquiring wordle, according to vanity fair.[314] at the 2022 game developers conference, wardle stated that he was overwhelmed by the volume of wordle facsimiles and overzealous monetization practices in other games.[316] concerns over the new york times monetizing wordle by implementing a paywall mounted;[317] wordle is a client side browser game and can be played offline by downloading its webpage.[318] wordle moved to the times's servers and website in february.[319] the game was added to the nyt games application in august,[320] necessitating it be rewritten in the javascript library react.[321] in november, the new york times announced that tracy bennett would be the wordle's editor.[322] the new york times magazine and the boston globe magazine are the only weekly sunday magazines following the washington post magazine's cancellation in december 2022.[323] in february 2016, the new york times introduced a spanish website, the new york times en español.[324] the website, intended to be read on mobile devices, would contain translated articles from the times and reporting from journalists based in mexico city.[325] the times en español's style editor is paulina chavira, who has advocated for pluralistic spanish to accommodate the variety of nationalities in the newsroom's journalists and wrote a stylebook for the new york times en español[326] articles the times intends to publish in spanish are sent to a translation agency and adapted for spanish writing conventions; the present progressive tense may be used for forthcoming events in english, but other tenses are preferable in spanish. the times en español consults the real academia española and fundéu and frequently modifies the use of diacritics   such as using an acute accent for the cártel de sinaloa but not the cartel de medellín   and using the gender neutral pronoun elle.[327] headlines in the new york times en español are not capitalized. the times en español publishes el times, a newsletter led by elda cantú intended for all spanish speakers.[328] in september 2019, the new york times ended the new york times en español's separate operations.[329] a study published in the translator in 2023 found that the times en español engaged in tabloidization.[330] in june 2012, the new york times introduced a chinese website, 纽约时报中文, in response to chinese editions created by the wall street journal and the financial times. conscious to censorship, the times established servers outside of china and affirmed that the website would uphold the paper's journalistic standards; the government of china had previously blocked articles from nytimes.com through the great firewall,[331] and the website was blocked in china until august 2001 after then general secretary jiang zemin met with journalists from the new york times.[332] then foreign editor joseph kahn assisted in the establishment of cn.nytimes.com, an effort that contributed to his appointment as executive editor in april 2022.[333] in october, 纽约时报中文 published an article detailing the wealth of then premier wen jiabao's family. in response, the government of china blocked access to nytimes.com and cn.nytimes.com and references to the times and wen were censored on microblogging service sina weibo.[332] in march 2015, a mirror of 纽约时报中文 and the website for greatfire were the targets for a government sanctioned distributed denial of service attack on github in march 2015, disabling access to the service for several days.[334] chinese authorities requested the removal of the new york times's news applications from the app store in december 2016.[335] as of 2023, the new york times has received 137 pulitzer prizes,[336] the most of any publication.[337] the new york times is considered a newspaper of record in the united states.[l] the times is the largest metropolitan newspaper in the united states;[341] as of 2022, the new york times is the second largest newspaper by print circulation in the united states behind the wall street journal.[196] a study published in science, technology, & human values in 2013 found that the new york times received more citations in academic journals than the american sociological review, research policy, or the harvard law review.[342] with sixteen million unique records, the times is the third most referenced source in common crawl, a collection of online material used in datasets such as gpt 3, behind wikipedia and a united states patent database.[343] the new yorker's max norman wrote in march 2023 that the times has shaped mainstream english usage.[344] in a january 2018 article for the washington post, margaret sullivan stated that the new york times affects the "whole media and political ecosystem".[345] the new york times's nascent success has led to concerns over media consolidation, particularly amid the decline of newspapers. in 2006, economists lisa george and joel waldfogel examined the consequences of the times's national distribution strategy and audience with circulation of local newspapers, finding that local circulation decreased among college educated readers.[346] the effect of the new york times in this manner was observed in the forum of fargo moorhead, the newspaper of record for fargo, north dakota.[347] axios founder jim vandehei opined that the times is "going to basically be a monopoly" in an opinion piece written by then media columnist and former buzzfeed news editor in chief ben smith; in the article, smith cites the strength of the new york times's journalistic workforce, broadening content, and the expropriation of gawker editor in chief choire sicha, recode editor in chief kara swisher, and quartz editor in chief kevin delaney. smith compared the times to the new york yankees during their 1927 season containing murderers' row.[348] the new york times has received criticism for its coverage of the israel hamas war,[349] and the paper has been accused of holding both an anti palestinian[350] and an anti israeli[351] bias. in april 2024, the intercept reported that an internal memorandum from november 2023 instructed journalists to reduce using the terms "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing" and to avoid using the phrase "occupied territory" in the context of palestinian land, "palestine" except in rare circumstances, and the term "refugee camps" to describe areas of gaza despite recognition from the united nations. a spokesperson from the times stated that issuing guidance was standard practice. an analysis by the intercept noted that the new york times described israeli deaths as a massacre nearly sixty times, but had only described palestinian deaths as a massacre once.[352] in december 2023, the new york times published an investigation titled "'screams without words': how hamas weaponized sexual violence on oct. 7", alleging that hamas weaponized sexual and gender based violence during its armed incursion on israel.[353] the investigation was the subject of an article from the intercept questioning the journalistic acumen of anat schwartz, a filmmaker involved in the inquiry who had no prior reporting experience and agreed with a post stating israel should "violate any norm, on the way to victory", doubting the veracity of the opening claim that gal abdush was raped in a timespan disputed by her family, and alleging that the times was pressured by the committee for accuracy in middle east reporting in america.[354] the new york times initiated an inquiry that received criticism from newsguild of new york president susan decarava for purported racial targeting;[355] the times's investigation concluded in ambiguity, but found that journalistic material was handled improperly.[356] the new york times has received criticism regarding its coverage of transgender people. when it published an opinion piece by weill cornell medicine professor richard a. friedman called "how changeable is gender?" in august 2015,[357] vox's german lopez criticized friedman as suggesting that parents and doctors might be right in letting children suffer from severe dysphoria in case something changes down the line, and as implying that conversion therapy may work for transgender children.[358] in february 2023, nearly one thousand[359] current and former times writers and contributors wrote an open letter addressed to standards editor philip b. corbett, criticizing the paper's coverage of transgender, non⁠ ⁠binary, and gender nonconforming people; some of the times' articles have been cited in state legislatures attempting to justify criminalizing gender affirming care.[360] contributors wrote in the open letter that "the times has in recent years treated gender diversity with an eerily familiar mix of pseudoscience and euphemistic, charged language, while publishing reporting on trans children that omits relevant information about its sources."[m] 1234567 nbc newswall street

(missouri department of corrections via ap) a missouri woman has spent 43 years in prison for a grisly 1980 murder that her lawyers say was actually committed by a police officer with ties to the murder scene. now, sandra hemme is waiting to learn if she’ll regain her freedom, after a judge overturned her conviction last week. he ruled hemme was in a “malleable mental state” when investigators questioned her in a psychiatric hospital under heavy medication, and that prosecutors withheld evidence about the discredited officer, who died in 2015. hemme’s legal team at the innocence project say this is the longest time a woman has been incarcerated for a wrongful conviction. the family is ecstatic. “we just can’t wait to get her home,” hemme’s sister, joyce ann kays, said monday. here are some things to know about the case: judge ryan horsman ruled late friday that attorneys for hemme had established evidence of actual innocence and that she must be freed within 30 days unless prosecutors retry her. hemme was a psychiatric patient when she incriminated herself in the death of 31 year old library worker patricia jeschke. hemme is now 64 years old and is incarcerated at a women’s prison northeast of kansas city. hemme’s attorneys have filed a motion seeking her immediate release. county prosecutors have 30 days to determine whether to dismiss the charges or try her again. the missouri attorney general’s office can also decide to get involved, karen pojmann, communications director for the missouri department of corrections, said in an email. in the past, exonerated people have been released if there are no plans to appeal the decision or re try the case, and the department of corrections gets that in writing from all the parties involved, pojmann said. the buchanan county prosecutor and a spokesperson for the state attorney general’s office didn’t immediately return phone and email messages from the associated press seeking comment. it started on nov. 13 of that year, when jeschke missed work. her worried mother climbed through a window at her apartment and discovered her daughter’s nude body on the floor, surrounded by blood. her hands were tied behind her back with a telephone cord and a pair of pantyhose wrapped around her throat. a knife was under her head. the brutal killing grabbed headlines, with detectives working 12 hour days to solve it. but hemme wasn’t on their radar until she showed up nearly two weeks later at the home of a nurse who once treated her, carrying a knife and refusing to leave. police found her in a closet, and took her back to st. joseph’s hospital   the latest in a string of hospitalizations that began when she started hearing voices at age 12. she had been discharged from that very hospital the day before jeschke’s body was found, showing up at her parents house later that night after hitchhiking more than 100 miles (160 kilometers) across the state. the timing seemed suspicious to law enforcement. as the questioning began, hemme was being treated with antipsychotic drugs that had triggered involuntary muscle spasms. she complained her eyes were rolling back in her head, the petition said. detectives noted hemme seemed “mentally confused” and not fully able to comprehend their questions. she offered what her attorneys described as “wildly contradictory” statements, at one point blaming the murder on a man who couldn’t have been the killer because he was at an alcohol treatment center in another city at the time. ultimately, she pleaded guilty to capital murder in exchange for the death penalty being taken off the table. that plea was later thrown out on appeal. but she was convicted again in 1985 after a one day trial in which jurors weren’t told about what her current attorneys describe as “grotesquely coercive” interrogations. her attorneys argue that evidence was suppressed implicating michael holman, a police officer at the time in st. joseph, a city on a bend in the missouri river roughly 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of kansas city. about a month after the killing, holman was arrested for falsely reporting his pickup truck stolen and collecting an insurance payout. the same truck had been spotted near the crime scene, and his alibi that he spent the night with a woman at a nearby motel couldn’t be confirmed. furthermore, he had tried to use jeschke’s credit card at a camera store in kansas city, missouri, on the same day her body was found. holman, who was ultimately fired, said he found the card in a purse in a ditch. during a search of holman’s home, police found a pair of gold horseshoe shaped earrings in a closet, along with jewelry stolen from another woman during a burglary earlier that year. jeschke’s father said he recognized the earrings as a pair he bought for his daughter. but then the four day investigation into holman ended abruptly, and many of these uncovered details were never given to hemme’s attorneys. horsman found her trial counsel was ineffective and prosecutors failed to disclose crucial evidence that would have aided in her defense, including holman’s criminal conduct. the only evidence tying hemme to the killing was her “unreliable statements,” horsman wrote, and her psychiatric condition was “fertile ground for her to also internalize, or come to believe, the apparently false narratives she told.” he said her statements were also contradicted by physical evidence and accounts of reliable, independent witnesses. the judge said outside factors like media coverage and police suggestion “substantially undermine the prosecutor’s argument that ms. hemme’s statements contain details that only the killer could know.” there was, however, evidence that “directly ties holman to this crime and murder scene,” he wrote lawyers at the innocence project say hemme wasn’t the first mentally ill person targeted by detectives in st. joseph. melvin lee reynolds, who also spent time at st. joseph’s state hospital, falsely confessed to the 1978 killing of a 4 year old boy following repeated interrogations. he was exonerated and freed in 1983, when a self proclaimed serial killer, charles hatcher, pleaded guilty to the murder. copyright 2025 the associated press. all rights reserved.

purposes of the section 1061 regulations, an allocation is not a capital interest allocation to the extent the allocation is attributable to the contribution of an amount of capital to a partnership that, directly or indirectly, results from, or is attributable to, any loan or other advance made or guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the partnership or another partner in the partnership (or

disposition of a passthrough interest. paragraph (b)(9)(i)(a) of this section similarly applies with respect to a passthrough interest issued by an s corporation or a pfic to the extent that the passthrough interest is treated as an api. (c) * * * (1) * * * (ii) * * * (b) * * * under paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of this section, a's api three year disposition amount is $100, which is the amount of long term capital gain that a recognized upon disposition of the api held for more than three years.* * * (iii) * * * (b) determination of a's one year gain amount. under paragraph (a)(2) of this section, a's one year gain amount is $900, which is an amount equal to a's $100 api one year distributive share amount from prs1 and a's $600 api one year distributive share amount from prs2 (a combined net api one year distributive share amount of $700) plus a's $200 api one year disposition amount. par. 5. section 1.1061 5 is amended by: 1. removing the language “of this section” in the fourth sentence of paragraph (f)(1) and adding the language “of this section;” in its place. 2. revising paragraphs (f)(2)(i) and (ii) and (f)(3). the revisions read as follows: (f) * * * (2) * * * (i) facts. a, b, and c are equal partners in gp, a partnership. gp holds only one asset, an api in prs1 which is an indirect api as to each of a, b, and c. each of a, b, and c provides services in the atb in connection with which gp was transferred its api in prs1. a and b contribute their interests in gp to prs2 in a section 721(a) exchange for interests in prs2. (ii) application of section 1061(d). because the contribution by each of a and b of its interest in gp to prs2 is an exchange in which no gain is recognized ( print page 50526) by either a or b, the contribution is not a transfer as described in paragraph (b) of this section; thus section 1061(d) does not apply to a's and b's contribution. however, the api remains an api in the hands of prs2 under § 1.1061 2(a)(1)(i). (3) example 3: transfer of an api to a section 1061(d) related person. a has held an api in gp, a partnership, for four years. a transfers the api to a section 1061(d) related person described in paragraph (e) of this section in exchange for $100 of cash, resulting in a recognizing long term capital gain of $100. because this is a transfer described in paragraph (b) of this section, section 1061(d) applies to the transfer of a's api and a must determine its section 1061(d) recharacterization amount under paragraph (c) of this section. if, immediately prior to a's transfer of the api, the partnership had sold all of its assets in a fully taxable transaction for cash equal to the fair market value of the assets, a's share of the net long term capital gain (excluding amounts not taken into account for purposes of section 1061 under § 1.1061 4(b)(7)) from assets held for three years or less would have been $120. thus, a's section 1061(d) recharacterization amount is $120. as a result, a's $100 long term capital gain is recharacterized as short term capital gain under paragraph (a) of this section. the api remains an api in the hands of the section 1061(d) related person under § 1.1061 2(a)(1)(i). par. 6. section 1.1061 6 is amended by removing the language “capital gain excluding” in the first sentence of paragraph (c)(1)(i) and adding the language “capital gain, excluding” in its place. par. 7. section 1.1223 3 is amended by removing the language “june 30, 2020” in the third sentence of paragraph (f)(10) and adding the language “june 1, 2020” in its place. oluwafunmilayo a. taylor, section chief, publications and regulations section, associate chief counsel, (procedure and administration).

indepthnh.org (https://indepthnh.org/2025/02/08/state budget battle about to begin in earnest/) nancy west photo garry rayno is indepthnh.org's state house bureau chief. he is pictured in the press room at the state house in concord. by garry rayno, distant dome lawmakers and the general public this week will hear new gov. kelly ayotte’s plan to craft the next biennial budget which is fraught with declining revenues, new obligations and more questions than answers about the federal funding the state depends on to survive. former gov. chris sununu walked out of the state house in january and left his in coming fellow republican what is best described as a fiscal mess. get unbiased nonprofit watchdog news sent directly to your inbox. he asked his department heads to prepare budgets with 4 percent cuts, when others said, it should be 6 to 8 percent, and now talk is of an 11 to 14 percent reduction in the workforce. while sununu has been skiing at waterville valley, ayotte and her budget team have been working overtime to fill the gap between expenditures and revenues that could approach $1 billion. thursday, the governor will present her budget address to lawmakers and that will put the budget season into overdrive at the state house and legislative office building. while the revenue decline is one hurdle to crafting a new biennial budget, there are others that are just as formable, such as the federal revenue stream and the work of the department of government efficiency or doge taking a meat cleaver to what states and others once considered stable money sources. federal money pays about one third of the expenses in the current biennial budget and provides more funding than the state’s general fund: $4.82 billion in federal funds compared to $4.27 billion in general funds according to figures from the new hampshire fiscal policy institute. and the general fund figure may actually be less than that before the fiscal year ends june 30 if current revenues continue on their current trend. while january revenues were a little more than budget writers’ estimates, the big concern has to be business tax revenue, the single biggest revenue source for the general and education trust funds. business taxes have been on the decline for about a year now, as the jet propelled profits of national and multinational corporations was fueled by federal covid relief and recovery money which has begun to wane, hurting new hampshire’s revenue picture as well as most other states. to date, the business tax revenues are 17.2 percent below a year ago, 18.2 percent below estimates of what is needed to balance the budget. that is almost 20 percent or the state is now taking in $4 for every $5 dollars of business taxes it collected last fiscal year. the true tests will come in march and april when most of the businesses have to make their quarterly payments to the department of revenue administration, and in june. those figures will be a bellwether for the next two years. some of the revenue problems have been the legislature’s and governors’ own doing as they collectively approved rate reductions for both the business profits tax and the business enterprise tax for the last decade costing the state between $500 million and nearly $800 million since the reductions began, according to the nhfpi. the business tax shortfall in january was offset by interest earned on the federal money which is being spent as deadlines approach, lottery earnings and the interest and dividends tax, which is no longer being assessed on earnings after jan. 1. none of the three categories of good news are stable revenue sources going forward that budget writers could count on for the next two fiscal years. everyone knows new hampshire has an antiquated tax system heavily reliant on property taxes to pay for most local government and school district bills, it is also one of the most regressive tax systems in the country because it puts the largest tax burden percentage wise on those who can least afford to pay their taxes. new hampshire has also traditionally relied on what are called “sin taxes” as a way to grab money from out of staters when they visit, or the old adage “don’t tax me, tax the guy behind the tree.” the taxes once included money from gambling at race tracks, which are no more, as well as liquor and tobacco sales, and sweepstakes tickets. while the gambling money now comes to the state through charity gambling and the lottery commission, liquor and cigarette or tobacco sales are down and have been for a while as people stopped smoking and drinking as much and larger liquor chains are able to meet the state’s monopoly prices. the lottery commission has seen its revenues increase for the education trust fund from the larger and larger jackpots run up in several of the national lottery games that have helped put the fund in surplus which is now dwindling due to revenue shortfalls and the $50 million or so the education freedom account program has drawn from the fund in new spending. it could be astronomically higher in the future if some lawmakers are successful in removing any salary cap from efas. real estate prices, more expensive mortgages and a small inventory have slowed home sales the last few years although the values have increased which has somewhat offset the drop in sales. revenues are not trending in the right direction and don’t appear to be making any corrections in the near future. and president donald trump’s botched freeze on federal grants and loans sent shockwaves through state capitols and non profits who perform much of the work the federal money helps cover. while he backed off, his actions certainly reminded state lawmakers the federal money could end with the chaos that now rules washington. along with the uncertainty, budget writers face some daunting obligations like the $75 million pledged for the next 10 years to cover the cost of youth detention center settlements for the physical, emotional and sexual abuse kids suffered at the hands of state employees at the sununu youth services center. there are also two education funding lawsuits that reside with the supreme court and part of one remains in superior court. the oral arguments have been made before the supreme court and everyone is waiting for the decisions, and the final section of the rand suit has had its trial in rockingham county superior court and waits for judge david ruoff to make his decision. you could argue neither case would require more money be spent on public education, but instead both cases seek to shift what are now local costs recouped through local property taxes, to state revenue sources constitutionally raised, which the plaintiffs in both cases argued is not the current education funding scheme. with washington under republican control, it is likely there will be some changes to the state federal medicaid health insurance program for the poor, those with disabilities or injuries, and mostly poor children and single parent families. under several proposals floating in washington, new hampshire could have to pay an additional $500 million a year to cover the cost of the program, which also would likely end the granite advantage plan, which insures the state’s working poor with the federal government paying 90 percent of the cost. traditionally when the state faces a budget crisis like it has today, one of the first places budget writers look for cuts are new programs. much of the new spending included in the current budget covers four areas: housing, child care, education and health care. the most money for health care was a boost in medicaid reimbursement rates to providers that has been a long time coming as the state had some of the lowest rates in the country. the new spending was $134.2 million, which could be a very visible target. an additional $67 million was dedicated to children’s behavioral health, and home and community based services for older adults and those with disabilities was boosted by more than 50 percent. the current biennial budget included an additional $169 million for public education that increased the per pupil grants and increased aid to communities with high poverty rates and low property values, but began phasing out the stability grants school districts have received since the last major change in the distribution formula more than 10 years ago. the budget also contains a $50 million boost for state housing programs, and a significant boost in the child care scholarship program to make it easier for parents to afford child care in order to return to the workforce. those seeking to make the efa program universal or open to all the state’s children regardless of how wealthy their parents are, like to say it’s all about the kids. the childcare scholarship program and housing grants are also all about the kids, so if the efa advocates do not vote to retain those programs, then efas are not really about the kids, but about politics instead. thursday the governor will tell us what her choices are for the next two years. garry rayno may be

philomath news local • independent • trusted armed officers blocked oregon u.s. rep. suzanne bonamici and other democratic members of congress from entering the u.s. department of education building on friday morning as they sought a meeting with the agency’s acting director about reports that president donald trump was preparing to take illegal action to abolish or dismantle the agency. the incident, one of several examples this week of congressmembers being barred from federal buildings, comes as bonamici and colleagues who oversee the education department push for information. while most school funding in oregon comes from property taxes and the state school fund, the federal department provides targeted funding for schools with students in poverty and students with disabilities, administers federal student loans and need based grants and protects students from discrimination. about 14% of oregon’s annual education budget comes from the federal government, amounting to more than $1 billion each year. bonamici, a democrat who represents oregon’s 1st congressional district, and 95 other democratic congressmembers wrote to denise carter, acting director of the u.s. department of education on thursday, requested a meeting in light of reports that trump was preparing an executive order meant to dismantle the agency. eliminating the u.s. department of education, as trump has advocated, would require an act of congress. “over the years, democrats and republicans have had policy differences, but this is way more than a policy difference. this is them dismantling government without the consent of the people,” bonamici said. “this is not normal. nothing feels normal right now.” she and about 20 other democrats walked to the department on friday, seeking that meeting. instead, they found the building locked and doors blocked by a plainclothes administrator named jim hairfield, who works in the agency’s security and facilities office, according to the education department website. a video filmed and shared on the social media site bluesky by florida congressman maxwell frost, also a democrat, shows hairfield outside the building and several officers from the federal department of homeland security behind the doors, labeled “all access entrance.” representatives from the federal education department did not respond to emailed questions from the capital chronicle about who directed hairfield or the dhs agents to block the entry, or whether it was legal to dispatch them to bar elected officials from entering the public building. hairfield’s government issued work email listed on the department website is no longer operational. earlier this week, democratic lawmakers including oregon sens. ron wyden and jeff merkley were barred from entering the u.s. treasury building and the u.s. agency for international development, or usaid, which trump and his unofficial advisor, billionaire elon musk, have attempted to shut down. bonamici said she was “still processing” the scene outside the education department several hours later. “i honestly did not expect to be locked out when i went there this morning,” she said. “he (hairfield) said things like: ‘you don’t have a meeting,’ and ‘you have no business here,’ which was really offensive.” bonamici has been in congress for more than a decade and has oversight authority of the education department as a member of the education and workforce committee and the early childhood, elementary, and secondary education subcommittee in the u.s. house of representatives. the decades old mission of the u.s. department of education is to “strengthen the federal commitment to assuring access to equal educational opportunity for every individual.” more than 83% of americans   and 85% of oregonians   have, on average in the last decade, sent their children to public schools, according to the national center for education statistics. oregon capital chronicle is part of

correction program (vfcp) online calculator as a compliance assistance tool to facilitate accuracy, ensure consistency, and expedite review of applications. the online calculator assists applicants in calculating vfcp correction amounts owed to benefit plans. use of the online calculator by applicants is recommended, but is not mandatory. applicants may perform manual calculations in accordance with vfcp section 5(b), using the irc underpayment rates and the irs factors. please note that using this calculator solely to determine and repay lost earnings does not constitute correction under the vfcp. the complete procedures for correcting under the vfcp may be found at https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2006/04/19/06 3674/voluntary fiduciary correction program under the employee retirement income security act of 1974 or elsewhere on this web site. if you have any questions concerning the application process, please contact your local field office by calling 1 866 444 3272 and ask for the vfcp coordinator. the online calculator computes lost earnings and interest, if any. if the principal amount was used for a specific purpose such that a profit on the use of the principal amount is determinable, the online calculator also computes interest on the profit. the online calculator then compares lost earnings to restoration of profits and provides the applicant with the greater amount, which must be paid to the plan. the online calculator uses irc section 6621(a)(2) and (c)(1) underpayment rates in effect during the time period and the corresponding factors from irs revenue procedure 95 17 (irs factors), which reflect daily compounding. under the vfcp special rules for transactions involving large losses or large restorations, the online calculator automatically recomputes the amount of lost earnings and restoration of profits using the applicable irc section 6621(c)(1) rates. correction of most eligible vfcp transactions involves repayment of a principal amount. select the transaction you are correcting from the index of eligible vfcp transactions for examples of calculations. consult these examples first to be certain you enter the correct principal amount in the online calculator for the type of transaction being corrected. generally, the instructions for using the online calculator are: facts: the applicant enters three sets of data into the online calculator: each entry represents the data for one pay period. first entry: (for pay period ending march 2, 2001) second entry: (for pay period ending march 16, 2001) third entry: (for pay period ending march 30, 2001) the online calculator provides a combined total of $196.10, which is the lost earnings and interest on lost earnings to be paid to the plan on january 30, 2004. this same information would be entered for any additional pay period with untimely contributions. the chart under the online calculator will maintain a list of all data entered during the session. the total number at the bottom of the chart shows the total amount of lost earnings and interest on lost earnings for all pay periods for which data was entered. note: if any principal amount has not been paid to the plan, this principal amount also must be paid to the plan and is not included in the total provided by the online calculator. this example will show the manual calculation for the pay period ending march 2, 2001 only. however, the applicant must calculate lost earnings for each pay period and remit the total of all lost earnings to the plan. the facts in this example are: to calculate earnings using applicable irs factors, use the basic formula: first, the plan official must calculate lost earnings that should have been paid on the recovery date. the first period of time is from march 16, 2001 to march 31, 2001 (15 days), the end of the quarter. from the irc 6621(a)(2) underpayment rate tables, the rate for this quarter is 9%. from the irs factor table 23, the irs factor for 15 days at 9% is 0.003705021. the plan is owed $10,037.05 as of march 31, 2001. the second period of time is april 1, 2001 through april 13, 2001 (13 days). from the irc 6621(a)(2) underpayment rate tables, the rate for this quarter is 8%. from the irs factor table 21, the factor for 13 days at 8% is 0.002853065. therefore, lost earnings of $65.69 ($37.05 + $28.64) must be paid to the plan. if lost earnings are paid to the plan after the recovery date, the plan official must also pay interest on the lost earnings from the recovery date to the final payment date. how to perform this calculation is shown by the following table. the interest column is the previous time period's amt. due times the factor. amt. due is the previous row's amt. due plus interest. the first row is based on the $65.69 lost earnings. note: the last irs factor comes from the irs factor tables for leap years. the plan is also owed $11.64. this is the amount of interest on $65.69 (lost earnings on the principal amount) accrued between april 13, 2001, the recovery date, when the principal amount $10,000 was paid to the plan, and january 30, 2004, the final payment date. therefore, the plan official must pay $77.33 to the plan on january 30, 2004, as lost earnings ($65.69) plus interest on lost earnings ($11.64) for the pay period ending march 2, 2001, in addition to the principal amount ($10,000) that was paid on april 13, 2001. this same calculation must be done for each pay period with untimely employee contributions or participant loan repayments. note: if the amount of lost earnings and interest, if any, to be paid to the plan is greater than $100,000, the calculation must be redone for each pay period, using the irc 6621(c)(1) underpayment rates. facts: the applicant enters the following data into the online calculator: the online calculator provides a total of $6.57, which is the lost earnings to be paid to the plan on october 5, 2004. the plan official must also pay the principal amount, which is not included in the total provided by the online calculator. therefore, the amount to be paid is the principal amount ($281.83) plus lost earnings ($6.57) or $288.40. this same information would be entered for each loan payment made (or lease payment received). the chart under the online calculator will maintain a list of all data entered during the session. the total number at the bottom of the chart shows the total amount of lost earnings and interest on lost earnings due for all loan payments for which data was entered. the plan official must also pay the principal amount for each loan or lease payment, which is not included in the total provided by the online calculator. in addition, if the loan was to a party in interest, the loan must be paid in full. to calculate earnings using applicable irs factors, use the basic formula: the first period of time is from april 1, 2004 to june 30, 2004 (90 days), the end of the quarter. from the irc 6621(a)(2) underpayment rate tables, the rate for this quarter is 5%. from the irs factor table 63, the irs factor for 90 days at 5% is 0.012370127. the plan is owed $285.316273 as of june 30, 2004 ($281.83 + $3.486273). the second period of time is july 1, 2004 through september 30, 2004 (92 days). the irc 6621(a)(2) underpayment rate for this quarter is 4%. from the irs factor table 61, the irs factor for 92 days at 4% is 0.010104808. the plan is owed $288.199339 as of september 30, 2004 ($285.316273 + $2.883066). the last period of time is october 1, 2004 through october 5, 2004 (5 days). from the irc 6621(a)(2) underpayment rate tables, the rate for this quarter is 5%. from the irs factor table 63, the irs factor for 5 days at 5% is 0.000683247. the plan is owed $288.39625 on october 5, 2004 ($288.199339 + $0.196911), which is rounded to $288.40. each loan payment must be separately calculated, and the amounts totaled. in addition, if the loan was to a party in interest, the loan must be paid in full. note: if the amount of lost earnings and interest, if any, to be paid to the plan is greater than $100,000, the calculations must be redone, using the irc 6621(c)(1) underpayment rates. facts: note: alternatively, an independent fiduciary may determine that the plan would realize a greater benefit by keeping the asset. correction would be made pursuant to section 7.4(a)(2)(ii) of the vfcp. the applicant enters the following data into the online calculator: the online calculator provides a total of $4,203.27, which is the lost earnings to be paid to the plan on october 5, 2004. because the principal amount plus lost earnings ($124,203.27) is greater than the current fair market value ($110,000), the plan must sell the property (either back to the original seller or to a non party in interest) for $124,203.27. note: if the current fair market value is $130,000, the plan would sell the property for $130,000. to calculate earnings using applicable irs factors, use the basic formula: the first period of time is from december 19, 2003 to december 31, 2003 (12 days), the end of the quarter. from the irc 6621(a)(2) underpayment rate tables, the rate for this quarter is 4%. from the irs factor table 13, the irs factor for 12 days at 4% is 0.001315861. the plan is owed $120,157.9033 as of december 31, 2003 ($120,000 + $157.9033). the second period of time is january 1, 2004 through march 31, 2004 (91 days). from the irc 6621(a)(2) underpayment rate tables, the rate for this quarter is 4%. from the irs factor table 61, the irs factor for 91 days at 4% is 0.009994426. the total owed the plan on march 31, 2004 is $121,358.813. continue calculating in the same manner. the total amount of lost earnings is $4,203.27087 ($157.9033 + $1,200.909 + $2,844.45857), which is rounded to $4,203.27. current fmv is $110,000. the property must be sold for $124,203.27, the higher of the principal amount plus lost earnings ($120,000 + $4,203.27) or the current fair market value ($110,000). if the amount of lost earnings and interest, if any, to be paid to the plan is greater than $100,000, the calculations must be redone, using the irs 6621(c)(1) underpayment rates. facts: the applicant enters the following data into the online calculator: the online calculator provides a total of $347.15, which is the lost earnings to be paid to the plan on october 6, 2004. the applicant must also pay the principal amount, which is not included in the total provided by the online calculator. therefore, the plan must receive $10,347.15. to calculate earnings using applicable irs factors, use the basic formula: the first period of time is from december 23, 2003 to december 31, 2003 (8 days), the end of the quarter. from the irc 6621(a)(2) underpayment rate tables, the rate for this quarter is 4%. from the irs factor table 13, the irs factor for 8 days at 4% is 0.000877049. the plan is owed $10,008.77049 as of december 31, 2003 ($10,000 + $8.77049). the second period of time is january 1, 2004 through march 31, 2004 (91 days). from the irc 6621(a)(2) underpayment rate tables, the rate for this quarter is 4%. from the irs factor table 61, the irs factor for 91 days at 4% is 0.009994426. the total owed the plan on march 31, 2004 is $10,108.8024. continue calculating in the same manner. the total amount of lost earnings is $347.1500005 ($8.77049 + $100.0319 +$238.347615), which is rounded to $347.15. the principal amount must also be paid to the plan. therefore, the plan must receive $10,347.15 on october 6, 2004. if the amount of lost earnings and interest, if any, to be paid to the plan is greater than $100,000, the calculations must be redone using the irs 6621(c)(1) underpayment rates. facts: the applicant enters the following data into the online calculator: the online calculator provides a total of $167.85, which is the lost earnings to be paid to the plan on october 6, 2004. the applicant must also pay the principal amount, which is not included in the total provided by the online calculator. therefore, the plan must receive $2,167.85. to calculate earnings using applicable irs factors, use the basic formula: the first period of time is from january 1, 2003 to march 31, 2003 (89 days), the end of the quarter. from the irc 6621(a)(2) underpayment rate table, the rate for this quarter is 5%. from the irs factor table 15, the irs factor for 89 days at 5% is 0.012265558. the plan is owed $2,024.53112 as of march 31, 2003 ($2,000 + $24.53112). the second period of time is april 1, 2003 through june 30, 2003 (91 days). from the irc 6621(a)(2) underpayment rate tables, the rate for this quarter is 5%. from the irs factor table 15, the irs factor for 91 days at 5% is 0.012542910. the total owed the plan on june 30, 2003 is $2,049.92463. continue the calculations in the same manner. the total amount of lost earnings is $167.850037 ($24.53112 + $25.39351 + $117.925407), which is rounded to $167.85. the principal amount must also be paid to the plan. therefore, the plan must receive $2,167.85 on october 6, 2004. if the amount of lost earnings and interest, if any, to be paid to the plan is greater than $100,000, the calculations must be redone using the irc 6621(c)(1) underpayment rates. note: had the property increased in value to $600,000 on december 31, 2002, the participant would have been underpaid by $2,000. the exact same calculation must be done, but the participant would receive $2,167.85 rather than the plan. facts: the applicant enters the following data into the online calculator: the online calculator provides a total of $146.28, which is the lost earnings to be paid to the plan on october 6, 2004. the applicant must also pay the principal amount, which is not included in the total provided by the online calculator. therefore, the plan must receive $2,146.28. to calculate earnings using applicable irs factors, use the basic formula: the first period of time is from march 15, 2003 to march 31, 2003 (16 days), the end of the quarter. from the irc 6621(a)(2) underpayment rate tables, the rate for this quarter is 5%. from the irs factor table 15, the irs factor for 16 days at 5% is 0.002194034. the plan is owed $2,004.388068 as of march 31, 2003 ($2,000 + $4.388068). the second period of time is april 1, 2003 through june 30, 2003 (91 days). from the irc 6621(a)(2) underpayment rate tables, the rate for this quarter is 5%. from the irs factor table 15, the irs factor for 91 days at 5% is 0.012542910. the total owed the plan on june 30, 2003 is $2,029.52893. continue the calculations in the same manner. the total amount of lost earnings is $146.28104 ($4.388068 + $25.14086 + $116.752116), which is rounded to $146.28. the principal amount must also be paid to the plan. therefore, the plan must receive $2,146.28 on october 6, 2004. if the amount of lost earnings and interest, if any, to be paid to the plan is greater than $100,000, the calculations must be redone using the irc 6621(c)(1) underpayment rates. facts: the applicant calculates both lost earnings and restoration of profits to determine the greater of these two amounts, which must then be paid to the plan. the applicant enters the following data into the online calculator to determine lost earnings: the online calculator provides an amount of $11,440.90, which is lost earnings that would be paid to the plan on november 17, 2004. the transaction must also be corrected by the sale of the asset back to the party in interest who originally sold the asset to the plan, or to a person who is not a party in interest. since the principal amount plus lost earnings ($111,440.90) is higher than the current fair market value ($100,000), the plan would receive $111,440.90, under the lost earnings calculation. because there are determinable profits, the applicant also selects the calculate restoration of profits button. the applicant enters the following data into the online calculator to determine restoration of profits: the online calculator provides an amount of $131,800.20, which is restoration of profits to be paid to the plan on november 17, 2004. restoration of profits is payable to the plan because it exceeds lost earnings and interest, if any, which totaled $11,440.90. step 1: determine lost earnings to calculate earnings using applicable irs factors, use the basic formula: the first period of time is from august 20, 2002 to september 30, 2002 (41 days), the end of the quarter. from the irc 6621(a)(2) underpayment rate tables, the rate for this quarter is 6%. from the irs factor table 17, the irs factor for 41 days at 6% is 0.006761931. the plan is owed $676.1931 in lost earnings as of september 30, 2002. the second period of time is october 1, 2002 through december 31, 2002 (92 days). from the irc 6621(a)(2) underpayment rate tables, the rate for this quarter is 6%. from the irs factor table 17, the irs factor for 92 days at 6% is 0.015236961. since lost earnings are based on the principal amount, the principal amount ($100,000) must be added to the lost earnings already determined. the plan is owed $2,210.1921 ($676.1931 + $1,533.999) as of december 31, 2002. continue calculating in the same manner. the total amount of lost earnings is $11,440.9018 ($676.1931 + $1,533.999 + $9,230.7097), rounded to $11,440.90, which would be paid to the plan on november 17, 2004, if lost earnings exceeds restoration of profits. the transaction must also be corrected by the sale of the asset back to the party in interest who originally sold the asset to the plan or to a person who is not a party in interest. because the principal amount plus lost earnings ($111,440.90) is higher than the current fair market value ($100,000), the plan would receive $111,440.90, under the lost earnings calculation. the party in interest realized a profit of $125,000 on january 22, 2004, when the stock was sold. because the correction will take place on november 17, 2004, which is after the date the profit was realized, an interest amount must be calculated. since the profit already exceeds $100,000, the irc 6621(c)(1) rate must be used. to calculate interest using applicable irs factors, use the basic formula: the first period of time is from january 22, 2004 to march 31, 2004 (69 days), the end of the quarter. from the irc 6621(c)(1) underpayment rate tables, the rate for this quarter is 6%. from the irs factor table 65, the irs factor for 69 days at 6% is 0.011374754. the plan is owed $126,421.84425 in restoration of profits as of march 31, 2004. the second period of time is april 1, 2004 through june 30, 2004 (91 days). from the irc 6621(c)(1) underpayment rate tables, the rate for this quarter is 7%. from the irs factor table 67, the irs factor for 91 days at 7% is 0.017555017. the plan is owed $128,641.1819 in restoration of profits as of june 30, 2004. continue calculating in the same manner. the total amount of interest on the profit is $6,800.20447 ($1,421.84425 + $2,219.33762 + $3,159.0026), which is rounded to $6,800.20. therefore, restoration of profits is $131,800.20 (the $125,000 profit plus $6,800.20) which would be paid to the plan on november 17, 2004, if restoration of profits exceeds lost earnings. the transaction must also be corrected by the sale of the asset back to the party in interest who originally sold the asset to the plan or to a person who is not a party in interest. because the principal amount (the original $100,000 sales price) plus restoration of profits ($131,800.2045) is higher than the current fair market value ($100,000), the plan would receive $231,800.20 under the restoration of profits calculation. under the lost earnings calculation, the plan would receive $111,440.90. under the restoration of profits calculation, the plan would receive $231,800.20. therefore, since restoration of profits is greater than lost earnings, the plan must be paid $231,800.20 on november 17, 2004. an agency within the u.s. department of labor 200 constitution ave nw washington, dc 20210 1 866 444 3272 connect with dol
