MADRID Air Max 90 Black Sale , Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- The four surviving members of the 12-man terrorist cell responsible for last week's attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils appeared at the Spanish National High Court here on Tuesday.
The four suspects arrived at the court at around 8:00 a.m. local time (0700 GMT) Tuesday after spending Monday night in the cells of the Civil Guard Headquarters in the town of Tres Cantos just north of Madrid.
The quartet face questions from High Court Judge Fernando Andreu, and are almost certain to be remanded in custody awaiting trial.
The four suspected terrorists are Mohamed Houli Chemal, who was at a house in Alcanar where the group was believed to be preparing a bigger terrorist attack.
The other three, named Dris Oukbar, Mohammed Alla and Salh Karib, were arrested in the town of Ripoll, to the north of Barcelona, where the majority of the cell were from.
Five other members of the terrorist cell were shot dead by police in Cambrils, two died in a gas explosion in Alcanar, and Younes Abouyaaqoub, the suspected driver of Thursday's deadly Barcelona van, was shot and killed by police close to the town of Subirats on Monday afternoon.
Thirteen people were killed and about 120 others were injured on Thursday afternoon in the popular Las Ramblas area of Barcelona when a white van zigzagged at high speed down the busy avenue packed with tourists.
Pau Perez, a 35-year-old international aid worker, was murdered around an hour later several kilometers from that scene.
On early Friday, another woman was killed when five people jumped out of a car and began attacking people at random on the seaside promenade in Cambrils, a town south of Barcelona.

Computers > Computer TechnologyWhere Are the Software Engineers?
Posted by nick_niesen in Computers on October 27th, 2010
The technology industry is on a slow but steady rebound. The demand for qualified IT professionals has gone up over the last several, but many students have given up computer related majors in response to the Dot Com bust. Many industry professionals fear that there will be a crippling shortage of qualified personnel to fill tech jobs. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics ( ), computer software engineers will be one of the fastest growing occupations over the next 7 years.
To help meet this demand, students seeking a career in computers will need at least a bachelor's degree in computer software engineering.
Computers and info rmation technology is a part of our daily lives, and new technology is being developed at a fast pace. Computer training is needed to help expand new computer software systems and to include new technologies and applications. The skills needed for careers in IT change all of the time reflecting changes in technology and the growing needs of companies. Computer software engineers research, design, develop, and test operating systems-level software, compilers and network distribution software. They work with medical, industrial, military, communications, aerospace, business, and scientific and general computing applications. Software engineers set operational specifications and formulate and analyze software requirements
Computer software engineers need the skills to create functional and technical design qualifications for software development. They must also have solid programming skills, and be familiar with data types, syntax and control structures. Along with the ability to correctly analyze info rmation, software engineers also need to be able to fix multifaceted application glitches and be able to produce quality requirement specifications, design documents and test plans. Problem solving and working as a team are also necessary parts of working as a software engineer. Now is the time to earn a degree in a computer-related discipline, as it is required for most software engineering positions. Growth in the technology field will be driven by the rapid growth in the technology sector. Demand for careers as a computer software engineer is expected to grow as computer applications continue to expand.
At this time, many companies are experiencing difficulty finding qualified programmers and software engineers. The USA grants only about 6% of the world's engineering degrees, behind China, the European Union, Japan, Russia and India, according to the latest figures from the National Science Foundation ( ). This trend showing a decline in interest in computer science majors comes at a time when companies and groups representing U.S. technology professionals continue to debate whether there is an IT skills shortage requiring foreign workers to fill industry needs.
Graduate degree programs have not yet experienced the decline of computer science majors. Many U.S. graduate programs are dependant on foreign students who come here for Computer Training. Approximately 45% of computer engineering students are non-resident aliens. Enhanced security regulations in regards to student visa's may account for the lack of students applying for computer programs.
