Attorney General Announces Recall Notifications Are Now Just a Click Away
Toys tainted with lead, ground beef contaminated with ecoli, toasters that could pose a fire hazard. As the number of product recalls seem to increase on a daily basis, the task of keeping up with them can be tricky for consumers. To eliminate much of the frustration in trying to track down the most up-to-date information, Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler today announced an easily accessible link from the Office of the Attorney Generals website that directs consumers to all the federal websites that post the latest information on product recalls. The new link can be found at http://www.oag.state. md.us and leads directly to the Product Recall Clearinghouse website. Maryland consumers and their families should not be in the dark on items that have the potential to cause great harm, whether it be lipstick or baby food, said Attorney General Gansler. I am pleased to announce this new website feature that will make it easier for consumers to protect themselves from faulty products. The product recall website will be updated weekly or as needed depending on the number of recalls issued. Consumers with questions or concerns about recalled products may call the Office of the Attorney Generals Consumer Hotline at 410-528-8662 or toll free at 1-888-743-0023, or by visiting the Consumer Protection Divisions website at http://www.oag.state.md.us/Consumer/index.htm.
tendance at the nuptials are four young Athenian lovers who are variously promised or betrothed to one another. But they defy their parents, escape the city, and elope into the woods in hopes of landing the mate of their choice. And in this moonlit forest setting, where everything turns topsy-turvy and nothing seems what it is, a rivaling King and Queen of the Fairies who rule the forest domain face off, their own marriage seriously on the rocks. Add King Fairy Oberons emissary, Puck, to the mix, and dirty tricks takes on new meaning. Pucks mischievous antics prove what fools these mortals be in all things called love and marriage.

In What Black Men Think, Morton asks several people the question: Are there more black men in college or in jail? The answer he gives contradicts most peoples expectations, and it is precisely those expectations that Morton condemns. He places blame on the NAACP, among other institutions, for helping to maintain a myth that harms the self-image of black men. The Washington Post said, The film sets out to debunk stereotypes that [Morton] says have been perpetu-
ated for so many years that they have struck the black community to its core. Stereotypes that have insulted, demoralized and humiliated. . . The movie is long overdue. The real, real deal with black people right now -- we have the highest divorce rates, we have the highest over-40-yearold single rates, Morton says in the film. We have the lowest marriage rates. The highest out-of-wedlock birth rates. What Im saying to you is . . . one generation ago, we didnt look like this. The film fuses together interviews with black intellectuals, graphics, and historical footage of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X in a style similar to the documentaries of Michael Moore. It covers topics ranging from black marriage and the use of the N-word, to academic achievement and

Armstrong Lifts Salisbury Blanks St. Marys, 2-0 W&L Past St. Marys (Md.) in OT
Courtesy of St. Marys College of Maryland Courtesy of St. Marys College of Maryland St. Marys City, Md. Two goals by sophomore forward Sallie Armstrong propelled the Washington and Lee University field hockey team to a 3-2 overtime victory over St. Marys College of Maryland Saturday afternoon in nonconference action, spoiling the Seahawks Homecoming. Senior midfielder Kay Dyt had a breakaway attempt but Seahawk senior goalie Emily Richards did a full-body save to stop the play. The rebound landed outside the circle in front of freshman defender Kelly Tran who sent the ball back inside the circle to Armstrong. From the left corner, Armstrong fired a shot into the back of the net for the winning score in overtime. The Seahawks (8-4) struck first just 2:30 into the game as junior forward Emily Norris deflected a pass from senior forward Marianne Wood. Washington and Lee responded at 5:58 when senior forward Maggie Nugent put back a rebound from sophomore midfielder Alex Caritis shot. The Generals posted a 2-1 lead at 18:08 when Armstrong found the back of the cage with her first goal of the day as she followed up on her own rebound. However, Norris tallied her second of the game as she tapped in a loose ball at the far left post, knotting the game at 2-2 at 19:36. The contest went into halftime tied. The game went back-andforth throughout the second half, forcing the extra frame. Washington and Lee outshot the Hawks, 20-5, and was awarded 15 penalty corners to St. Marys two.

Effective Stain Fighters
If you own a pet, you know theres no mistaking that sound. Nothing can wake you quicker from a deep sleep than the sound of your pet getting sick. Of course, pets have other little accidents as well that can leave a stain on carpet or upholstery. Its just a fact of life-if you cant tolerate a mess, dont get a pet. The TriCounty Animal Shelter wants you to know that there are things you can do however, to reduce the chance that these messes will leave a permanent stain. Whether your pet vomits up fluid, food or a hairball, usually they contain gastric juices, which contain acids. These acids will bleach the color out of fabrics very quickly, so the first thing you need to do is remove as much of the liquid and solid material as possible. As soon as you get up all of the loose material, flood the spot with water to dilute the remaining acid and prevent bleaching of your carpet, flooring or upholstery. Enzymatic cleaners are now on the market and can be found at most pet supply stores. As their name implies, they have enzymes that break down the chemicals in vomit, urine and faces. Read the directions carefully to see if they should be used right on the stain or if you should dilute the area with water first. When choosing a stain remover, consider the number of serious warnings on the package to keep your pet safe. The key to successfully removing a pet-related stain is to clean it up immediately. The longer you wait, the more damage acids will do, and stain removers cant always do the job once the stain has set in. While no one likes cleaning a mess, you need to accept that this is one of lifes little inevitables when you own a pet.

Sudoku
Kids Corner
Heres How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
