© 2006 Janric Enterprises Dist. by Creators Syndicate Inc. GETTING STARTED There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing. Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work. Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

Also in December, the principal of a pre- school in Bellmead, Texas, issued an in-school suspension to a 4- year-old boy after he hugged his female teacher's aide with his face in her chest, which was termed "sexual contact and/or sexual harassment" (though fol- lowing complaints, the offense was changed to "inappropriate Speed Bump By Dave Coverly physical behavior").
