It’s important to me, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a lot of successful people who work with their hands or do other things. We need to help them not feel like sec ond-class students or citizens, and get them to do that And we do that through vocational education. I think we need to take the cap off charter schools. Charter schools are public schools, and they meet the needs of some of our students. We need to continue to work with our home schools ... and let them participate in extracurricular activities at their schools. We need to do all of that, and by doing that we can start reducing the dropout rate. DTH: In North Carolina there's solid health care in the metropoli tan areas, but it’s lacking in rural areas, and everywhere it’s expen sive. What should be done? Smith: No. 1, we need to j move from an unhealthy culture to a healthy culture... We move to the second part of the plan: Health care needs to be consumer-driven. We’ve got to be good consumers ... because we know we have some thing at risk, so that instead of going to the emergency room, we wait a day to go to a primary care doctor, Sudoku # • games By The Mepham Group C 2007 The Mepham Group Distributed by Tribute Media Services All rights reserved V LUSIDB Complete the grid i so each row. column 8*^ —— anc) 3*by*3 box (in bold borders) con -3*l c n a ,ains every dl 9'’ Ito it) y 4 9 For strategies on | _ _ . how to solve Sudoku.

Part of that growth this year is the addition of a performance of Black's play “One Slight Hitch," which the Department of Dramatic Art's Professional Actor Training Program will perform at 8:15 p.m. today. The story of a family juggling their daughter’s wedding prepara tions gone awry, Black's play is a self proclaimed work-in-progress that he is workshopping around the country . After Friday’s show. Black will host a discussion about the piece. “I'm mainly using the feedback to continue to hate myself," Black said. “The play evolves from one structure to another, and it’ll help me to see what else I need to do." Depending on the size and par ticipation of the crowd today. Cash said plays could become permanent fixtures. But one element she said the festival could never live without is Black himself. “It would be hard to imagine it without his presence and sup port," Cash said. “He wants to give so much back to the school and the community, and that’s really encouraging for me."

(AP) - A man dressed in black opened fire with a shotgun and two handguns from the stage of a lecture hall at Northern Illinois University on Thursday, killing four people and injuring 18 others before committing suicide. University Police Chief Donald Grady confirmed the deaths fol lowing a news conference. The gunman shot himself on the stage after a brief ram page that sent terrified students screaming, crying and running for the doors around 3 p.m. “At this point I'm being told it Broken satellite will be shot down WASHINGTON. D.C. (AP) - President Bush has ordered the Pentagon to use a Navy missile to attempt to destroy a broken U.S. spy satellite —and thereby minimize the risk to humans from its toxic fuel by inter cepting it just before it re-enters the atmosphere. was less than two minutes," Grady said. “This thing started and ended in a matter of seconds." Grady said the gunman was not a student at the school. “It appears he may have been a student some where else," he said, adding that police had no apparent motive. All classes were canceled Thursday night and the 25,000- student campus was closed on Friday. The school was closed for one day during final exam week in December after campus police found threats, including referenc es to shootings at Virginia Tech, scrawled on a bathroom wall. The effort, the first of its kind, will be undertaken because of the potential that people in the area where the satellite would otherwise crash could be harmed. The “window of opportunity" for such a shootdown will open in the next three or four days. (H?r Soilii gar 7
