BEIJING — Now that North Korea has agreed to shut down and seal its nuclear facilities within 60 days, the hardest challenge ahead may be ridding the country of all of its nuclear weapons, several analysts said Wednesday

The accord signed Tuesday in Beijing compels North Korea to list all of its nuclear facilities, weapons and atomic fuel stockpiles but doesn't require it to hand over bombs immediately. That would come in a later phase.

Bridge to Terabithia follows the adventures of a young boy named Jess and his new-found friend Leslie. Jess is a scrawny boy from a farm who is constantly forgotten in his family and picked on a school. When the new girl in town, Leslie, enrolls at his school, they quickly become good friends and realize that they are next-door neighbors. Leslie introduces Jess to what imagination has to offer as each day after school they explore unknown territory in the woods behind their homes.

Logan Principal Don Montoya told staff and students to stay in their classes rather than go to lunch or otherwise leave their rooms while administrators dealt with the aftermath of an on-campus disturbance in which non-students on campus were suspected of bringing a weapon with them.

A campus security technician later found a BB-gun in a school trash can, and one of the four suspects detained was found to be in possession of pepper spray.

Changes to the New Haven Unified School District's email system have hampered The Courier's efforts to publish student-written stories for the past week, but the online paper will return to normal operation since the problems appear to have been ironed out.

The school district last week rolled out its new email system for teachers and staff members, a Novell product call GroupWise, to replace the antiquated and kludgy OpenMail system that served the district for the past several years.

Substitute teacher Neil O'Neill has become quite popular among students and staff members alike at James Logan High School for his musical talent and passion for the arts.

O'Neill is an accomplished musician and theater performer. As a substitute teacher, the proud native of Scotland has used his talents on the acoustic guitar and his singing to manage the classes he subs for.

"I usually make a contract with the students that if they re on task through the class when I m taking over that we pause a little earlier in the end to have some music." said O Neill, " I try to let them choose the songs and I sing to them. It's an incentive, most people like music live music
especially."

Born in Johnston, Scotland in 1954, O Neill began singing at the age of 6, and took up the guitar at the age of 16.
