Citing North Korea'a KCNA, Bloomberg reports that North Korea is threatening "all-out confrontation" against the U.S. and others.
The country is reportedly said to be open to negotiations on peace and security, but not denuclearization.
Yonhap's Kim Eun-jung reports: "North Korea has completed all technical preparations for a nuclear test and can carry it out in a few days if it makes a decision, a South Korean intelligence source said Wednesday."
More from South Korea's Yonhap News:
"In the new phase of our century-long struggle against the United States, we do not hide the fact that various satellites, long-range missiles that we will continue to launch and high-level nuclear test we will conduct will target our sworn enemy, the United States," the North's National Defense Commision said in a statement carried by the communist nation's Korean Central News Agency.
Reuters' David Chance has the same quote, but translated a bit differently:
"We are not disguising the fact that the various satellites and long-range rockets that we will fire and the high-level nuclear test we will carry out are targeted at the United States," the country's top military body said.
Earlier this month, the highly-respected geopolitical risk expert Ian Bremmer of the Eurasia Group published his list of top global risks and red herrings for 2013.
Despite his vast expertise, he was uncertain as to how the North Korea story would unfold this year. From his report:
Sometimes...you just can't know what's happening. Looking at North Korea this year, that's really the case. We've had a fairly sudden leadership transition in the world's most totalitarian state, under massive economic pressure, with an untested 28-year-old now running the country. So far, very surprisingly, it's gone well. Indeed, it's probably gone better than anyone would have dared presumed--in his first year of power, Kim Jong-un has presided over a regime that's a bit more transparent, a bit more balanced, and barring a few early purges, a bit more stable.
How has the unknown and untested Kim managed to pull that off? Is he sincere? Can he continue? We honestly don't know. And neither does anybody else. It's almost impossible to assess whether North Korea is becoming more stable and, if it is, whether that now means the South Koreans, in particular, can start resting a bit more easily. Everything about the North Korean system tells you it's a perilous bet as a country--but what causes trouble and when? We'd like to say it's not worth losing sleep over. That's not quite true. But at the same time, working harder to assess what exactly is going bump in the night doesn't feel very purposeful. Sorry.

The Toby Hadoke Comedy Podcast #1
21 February 2012
Here's what Toby Hadoke has to say about it:
'Thanks to Big Finish for recognising that there are many people out there with a sense of humour, who might be drawn to the sort of thing I do whether I mention Doctor Who or not. I was gainfully employed as a comedian for many years without ever mentioning Bandrils and Ray Phase Shifts and the limitations of Blinovitch, and people seemed quite happy to chortle, so I thought I should throw something out there where I manage to get to the end of a routine without mentioning the Daleks' inability to climb stairs (which, as we know, is the best joke to tell about Doctor Who). I used to produce loads of material every month for a topical show that ran for years at the Comedy Store, but getting everyone together began to be impractical so I had nowhere to put my less stand-up orientated ideas.
'Doing a podcast, I can get all the material out there whilst not shaving, changing out of my pyjamas, or even hiding the bodies. And that's a delight. The podcast should appeal to people who like my stuff. People who don't like my stuff will hate it, so if they listen they've only got themselves to blame, really. There'll be some topical gags which some will agree with and some won't; that's the nature of such things. Suffice to say, the opinions are purely my own (although in some cases I'll happily subjugate my own opinion for the sake of a better punchline) and do not represent the opinions of Big Finish or any of its representatives. Unless I say something unconscionably offensive and discriminatory, in which case it's entirely the opinion of Nicholas Briggs.'
For legal reasons, Nick wishes to stress that he disagrees strenuously with everything Toby Hadoke ever says. He'd also like to point out that Toby's podcast, although not overtly offensive (even though it does, at one point, contain the word 'poo') might offend the sensibilities of some listeners and is very probably not suitable for children. It also features Sarah Millican. Which is champion.

This past month has proven to be very successful, with the Stanage Bay Road improvements finished by the Livingstone Shire Council, boats of all sizes are travelling with ease to their next fishing frontier.
The Australian Defence Force has thrown the people of Stanage Bay a curve ball with the purchase, and future targeted purchase, of Stanage Bay Road cattle properties; including one on the Western side of the Herbert Creek/River. Like I've said in past reports; explore now, for you never know if it's going to be available in the future.
The estuary, Thirsty Sound, is turning on the jew, cod and grunter with a scattering of the mighty mud crabs. The islands and reef have been good catching for the big grassy sweet lip in quite abundance, with the coral trout, red emperor, red nannygai and parrotfish are all being caught on the usual; squid, pilchards, mullet fillets and Prawn – all purchased with a smile, local info or a joke at Stanage Bay Marine & accommodation.
The Tackle shop is well stocked with added camping supplies, ice, and all your tackle needs at competitive prices. Fuel, food and alcohol are also available at Stanage Bay, as well as a tyre repair business. Phone Von on 07 4937 3145 or find us on Facebook.

The Jets are riding a tidal wave of confidence. A three game win streak, above .500, and currently sitting in 8th in the Eastern Conference. Things are going to be very positive around Winnipeg for the next couple days. It's vital to remember that there are ups and downs throughout an NHL season, so the Jets need to keep their focus and continue to move forward, not dwell on the past.
What I am about to say is a phrase that is extremely overused, especially this season, but I truly feel it to be true right now.
The Jets next five games are the most important games of the season.
They set up as follows:
March 2nd – vs. Washington
March 5th – @ Florida
March 7th – @ Tampa Bay
March 8th – @ Florida
March 10th – @ New Jersey
Why Are They So Important?
Washington is a team that has a bundle of problems right now, they are a division rival, and are 3-5-1 on the road. This sets the Jets up for a very winnable game in front of what is sure to be an energetic crowd at the MTS Center.
They then head down south, where they play 3 in 4 nights, and have the power to figuratively finish off the Panthers for the year. Should they win both games in Sunrise, they would hold a 3-1 season series lead, enough to win it for the season, and create more separation between the two clubs. Florida has been hanging around the bottom of the league most of the year, so the Jets need to make sure they keep them there.
It will be very important that the Jets don't overlook the game in-between against Tampa Bay. The Lightning have been ice cold lately, losing their last 3 and posting a 3-6-1 record in their last ten. They do though lead the season series 1-0 after that terrible showing by the Jets in early February, so there should be extra motivation for the boys to show something. It will also be one of those deadly trap games for the Bolts, as it will be their first game back home after a harsh four game road trip that has them visiting the Rangers, Bruins, Penguins and Devils. Should they struggle on that trip, they too could slide to the bottom of the East, and the Jets could start to truly make them question their skill level.
To finish off the road trip, the Jets will face off once again against New Jersey, the only team of the bunch currently ahead of the Jets in the standings. That being said, the Jets have had success against the Devils thus far and the schedule will play in their favour once again. The Devils are 4-5-1 in their last 10, and will be on the second half of a back to back when they matchup against the Jets.
Not to be too optimistic, but I think it would be fair to say that taking 4 of the 5 next games is extremely possible, and is a necessity for the Jets if they want to make the playoffs. You need to beat teams below you to stay in the race, and an 8-10 point boost would do well for the Jets' odds of rising in the Eastern Conference.
And if the Jets lose these games? They would see themselves sliding back down the standings, open the door again for Tampa Bay and Florida to get their games back together, and possibly create separation between themselves and the 8th and final playoff spot. Not to mention re-establish their reputation of being terrible on the road, and lose any confidence they have going at the moment.
The next five take on added importance when you look at the five games on the Jets schedule following them. Taken, a lot can change from now to then, but the Jets will follow it up with games against the Leafs, Rangers, Leafs again, Sens, and then the Bruins. Four teams that are ahead of the Jets in the standings, and one that just got Rick Nash back from injury.
In a 48 game season, extended winning and losing streaks can easily make or break your playoff chances. Looking forward, I see an opportunity for the Jets to continue a long winning streak that can set them up well going into the final push. Let's hope that they can take advantage of it.

Why do so many people want to understand Dzhokhar Tsarnaev? To find within him some speck of humanity?
That's not an accusation; it's a statement of fact. In the weeks since the Boston Marathon bombings — in columns, in tweets, in hushed and guilty conversations — there has been a widespread urge to get inside the suspect's head, to imagine him somehow brainwashed, bullied, regretful. Not everyone feels this way, of course. But it's not hard to view Tsarnaev differently from the 9/11 bombers, or from Jared Lee Loughner or Adam Lanza, two other young men who committed mass murder in recent months.
Those men, the common narrative goes, were sick. Distant. Separate. Tsarnaev was different. Before the mayhem, he seemed to be one of us.
This is a pressing mystery of the bombings, and the fact that we're hunting for answers doesn't mean we're going soft. It doesn't mean we aren't angry.
It has to do with unanswered questions, both general and specific, and the hope that somehow, answers could prevent further attacks. How do small numbers of young men grow radicalized? How do they lose their humanity? How do they evolve from boys — with friends, parents, social lives — to killers?
These are moral questions, but they're also anthropological ones. So this week, I asked some anthropologists what the Tsarnaev brothers had in common with disaffected young men around the world, and also what set them apart.
I was told the brothers are outliers, not members of a formal terror group. They were immersed, to some degree, in American culture.
On the other hand, they fit some common themes. They were educated, like many sympathizers of the most violent strains of Islam. They had anger and emotion, a connection to larger ideas, an ability to find training, even if online.
"You don't generally find people who are really abjectly poor doing this sort of thing," said Daniel Lende, an anthropology professor at the University of South Florida. "They're people who have some understanding of the world, and who know what it means to strike terror."
And the fact that their peers didn't think they were dangerous or destructive? That, Lende said, is a commonality, too.
In the mid-2000s, Lende spent five years in Colombia, working as a counselor for young people caught up in the atrocities of the drug wars. He researched the lives of at-risk kids, trying to understand their behavior.
"I knew kids who did bad things," Lende told me. "I knew kids who did great things. Sometimes [they were] the same kids."
Sometimes, Lende said, a bad action was tied to a precipitating event. Sometimes, it came because a young man lost his social connections, to family or friends.
It's hard to underestimate the power of those ties, said Cynthia Mahmood, an anthropology professor at the University of Notre Dame. She spent some of the past decade on the Pakistan side of Kashmir, talking to young warriors who had signed up for violent jihad.
In some cultures, she said, frustrated young men channel their anger into self-destructive behavior, drinking, and drugs. In Pakistan, it was easy to find formal paths for disaffection. Radical groups set up tables on the streets for recruitment and placement, almost as if they were sending kids off to study abroad, she said. Friends signed up together, in groups, seeking adventure. The cause was appealing, seen as a way of life.
Was this Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's motivation? Was there something in his home life, his native culture, that drove him more easily to terror? Could his American friends have overridden those impulses, if they'd known he was thinking that way? Or, once he was in deep enough, was there no turning back?
Mahmood craves answers, too. But she's not sure we'll get satisfactory ones, even if Tsarnaev lives and speaks. She has spoken to young mujahadeen. She has asked them to weigh their ideals against the deaths of innocents.
She has learned, in the process, that empathy has its limits.
"In all of the people I've talked to who have been involved in these kinds of actions," Mahmood told me, "only a tiny handful ever express regrets."

It was Christmas night, 2009, when I finally decided that my threshold for bullshit had gotten clogged, and so help me I would clean it out with my bare hands.
I laid in my sister's bed – the only bed in the house – underneath three duvets, as my sister couldn't afford to heat the house much above 50°, the absolute minimum. From the living room, I could hear the sobs of my sister (who slept on the couch) as well – she had received a very offensive gift from our father. Tears slid down my face, and I absolutely wept, feeling that I was responsible for the whole predicament. Actually, I kind of was.
What the hell, world.
After a long, harrowing spiral, I had finally crashed with a bang on the floor of a bottomless pit. Months ago, I had lived in a fancy, middle class house with my father, complete with a plasma TV, a grand piano, and a mother-fucking chandelier. Now I lived in a three room apartment with my sister – a bedroom, a bathroom, and a living room / kitchen. We've subsided on rice, ramen noodles, and extremely salty canned food. Exclusively.
I was scared shitless about the future. So, I did something very instinctual, and, well, rather hypocritical.
That's right, I, Isaac Wolfe, atheist and sexy teen extraordinaire, prayed. It was a funny sight, really. Wearing nothing more than my boxers, I was just a curled-up lump on a mattress. Enjoy:
I'm pretty sure you don't exist, but hey, there's no harm trying, right? It's me. Yeah, that kid who got caught skinny dipping in the creek that one time – but seriously, you don't expect families to have picnics that far upstream! But, that's besides the point.
The reason I'm here tonight, is, well, because I'm kind of in a predicament right now. A suckish one. I've heard you're omnipotent and all, so I suppose you know the details. Wanna, uh, help me out? If it's no trouble?
Um. Thanks.
…Are you still there? I said bye. Get off the line.
So how did I end up in this sticky situation? Well, let's start at the beginning.
For most of my life, I lived with my mother. We loved each other, absolutely and irrevocably. So, when an opportunity came up in Florida, which involved a lifestyle she had always dreamed of but didn't include me, I severed ties with her in the only way that would work: telling her that I couldn't stand living with her, that I was moving to my father's house and she was leaving to Florida, that's that. I followed through, and so did she.
Unfortunately, there was a problem. My father was – is – a fundamentalist, conservative Christian with anger problems to match. That was all fine and dandy at the time – my mom was a casual Catholic, and I supposed that I loosely believed in God as well, so it wasn't too different. The only contrasting thing was that now I had to go to church every Sunday, instead perhaps a couple time a year. That was fine with me – Christianity was fascinating, especially the reactions it invoked. I was content for a time, and so was my father.
Until I figured out that my attraction to other men wasn't just a phase.
Until, at the local library, I picked up a book called The God Delusion in passive interest.
Until my father, after installing spyware on my laptop, found out what these two things had resulted in.
And that was that. After enduring screaming and threats, a forced encounter with a 're-orientation therapist' who tried to tell me that my sexuality was to be feared and hated, and finally a physical encounter, I was out on the cold October streets, with nothing more than a duffel bag full of clothes and a backpack full of textbooks.
I had basically nowhere to go – my mom was essentially excised from my life, and telling any of my friends about the whole ordeal would likely culminate with an investigation by child services, destroying any chance of me seeing my father again. However, in a burst of intuition, I walked to a café on the other side of town, where I waited for my sister to arrive at her shift. Without even requiring an explanation, she took me in.
We survived, barely, my sister working overtime, paying not for only one mouth but two. In school, contrary to intuitive thought, my grades skyrocketed as I put on a fake cheerful mien to erase any suspicion that something in my home life was awry.
Which, eventually, brings us back to Christmas night, and my adventure praying to a non-existent sugar daddy. Gift-wise, that night, I received a journal and some shabby books of my sister's that I could have borrowed any time I wanted. My sister, from our father, received a five dollar bill taped to a piece of paper that condemned her for harboring me and told her that she was going to Hell.
As you may have guessed, after my plea for help, I waited.
And I waited.
And you know what happened, babycakes? Absolutely nothing.
So, after crying some more and waiting for my sister's sobs to turn into snores, I put on some clothes and walked across town to my father's house, where I snuck in through the window (unlocked, just as I had left it) and took the laptop from my room (which I had left there, for some stupid reason). And then, when I got back to my sister's apartment, I opened the laptop, connected to the Wi-Fi of the nearby McDonalds, and sent off about ten e–mails to the first businesses I had come across online, telling them that their websites were dull and that I wanted to rewrite them for a small price.
None of them responded. Except for one.
Within a week, I was two-hundred dollars richer. I surprised my sister by whisking her out to a fancy Italian restaurant, and telling her to order anything her little heart desired, except for the mushroom raviolis because god, seriously, they're disgusting. And then from there, everything got awesome. Web copywriting became an actual source of income, and my sister and I stopped living like weird Asian hobos.
Now, you're probably wondering: what the hell is the moral of this story?
A while ago, I received an e-mail from a man, who compared me to an odd bunny rabbit that liked to jump up and down and point out that the tooth fairy wasn't real. I'm an atheist too, he wrote, but I don't understand why you're trying to take away religion from people. It might not be your cup of tea, but why try to get rid of it for the people it means something to?
That's where my story comes in handy. We atheist bloggers are not trying to exterminate religion as a whole (usually), we're trying to exterminate the kind that causes people to attack their children, the kind

I just came back to using Black Ink after a long break. Really like the new features.
However, I use a Bamboo tablet, and I am having problems with the "zoom wheel" that used to let me zoom in and out (equivalent of the centre mouse wheel).
Now input on this wheel changes the scaling of the user interface. While this is cool, it's not something I want to do all the time and I can't figure out a way to map it to the function that I want. In the preferences menu, input on the wheel in either direction just maps as 'ctrl', so I can't just remap it.
Has anyone else had this problem, and is there a fix? I have the latest drivers for my tablet on a clean install, this is not a driver issue.

Staying informed and involved with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio
Many understand that the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) is the state regulating body for the public utilities, including electric, natural gas, water and waste water, local and long distance telecommunications services, as well as rail and trucking companies. However, what is not so clear is the critical role that the PUCO can play in stimulating market demand for advanced energy technologies and solutions in our state. Companies within the advanced energy cluster should not only be aware of the impact that the PUCO can have on the market in the state, but also engage in the regulatory process so that their voices can be heard. The input that technology solutions companies in Ohio can bring to the PUCO offers a valuable perspective that is not typically brought to bear in the process. The mission of the PUCO is to assure all residential and business consumers access to adequate, safe and reliable utility services at fair prices, while facilitating an environment that provides competitive choices. Part of being true to this mission reaches beyond the complex challenge of balancing the current interests of the rate payers with those of the utilities and its shareholders. The mission requires the PUCO to understand the evolving opportunities for new technology solutions that can address the challenges facing our utility infrastructure and will impact access and reliability well into the future. Many of these solutions are being created by advanced energy companies within our own state. The PUCO has the duty to understand the long term interests and challenges of the state, including the technologies and business models that will achieve the best return on investment for Ohio ratepayers. The electricity grid across the country, as well as the grid here in Ohio, is facing major challenges that call for modernization in order to meet the demands of increased reliability. These demands include integration of distributed energy generation sources, desire of consumers to have more visibility and control over their energy usage patterns, current transmission and distribution constraints, and the evolution of the fleet of base load generation plants. In addition, some in the industry see an opportunity to further enhance the positive impact of competitive market forces by allowing consumers access to the real time and dynamic market for electricity. New and emerging technology solutions are needed to address these significant challenges. In order to reach efficient economies of scale necessary to drive down the cost of these emerging technologies, sufficient market demand is required. However, in the early stages of development and deployment, the cost – benefit models, and successful business models, are not always clear. Consequently, market demand is delayed. The PUCO can play a leadership role in developing an understanding of the overall, long term system cost – benefit tradeoffs and put in place mechanisms to allow utilities to implement these emerging solutions under a viable business model. By creating such paths for large scale deployment, the PUCO can thereby stimulate market demand for such products and solutions right here in Ohio, offering our Ohio companies access to these markets in their own backyard. Certainly, Ohio companies must compete for these opportunities with companies from across the country and around the world. But having local demand definitely helps local companies. Additional perspectives on the PUCO's role in fostering a strong energy economy will be highlighted when the current Chairman of the PUCO, Todd Snitchler, delivers the Wednesday keynote address at the two-day Advanced Energy B2B Conference and Expo, held October 30-31 in Columbus. This event is produced by NorTech and presented by Advanced Energy Economy Ohio. For more information about the conference, visit http://www.advancedenergyexpo.com. The PUCO needs the engagement of all stakeholders in order to most effectively accomplish their mission: the ratepayers, the utilities and the technology solutions companies in the state. Typically, the representatives of the ratepayers and the utilities are actively engaged in PUCO proceedings but not necessarily the technology solutions companies. It is the responsibility of the advanced energy industry, and the individual companies in the industry, to communicate their perspective to the PUCO and engage in the process. There are a many different paths that can be pursued when seeking to communicate with the PUCO. Informally, companies can meet with individual commissioners and staff. Companies can also participate in PUCO sponsored workshops offered on a variety of topics. Ultimately, companies can engage in the formal process of the cases before the PUCO. The formal process can be very complex and procedural. Companies may wish to join with organizations like NorTech and Advanced Energy Economy Ohio by adding their own voices to those of other like-minded companies. Persistence in adding the perspective of the advanced energy industry to the work of the PUCO benefits not only the industry but all of the stakeholders including the PUCO, the ratepayers and the utilities.

My girlfriend has told me that her last boyfriend was very naughty in bed and very good as well, just wondering if you had any advice on how to follow up such an intense sexual relationship? Naughty or intimate, or whatever Thanks SDG,
Let me introduce you to the DR DICK'S HOW TO VIDEO LIBRARY and show you around this marvelous resource. First you're gonna have to mozie on over to the Video Library tab at the top of this page. Once you click on that link you're immediately taken to the video library itself.
If you don't know how a pay-for-view set up works, just click on the "HELP" tab and read all about it. If you already are familiar with this sort of video on demand thingy then you are ready to go.

And that, my friend, is just the beginning. At the bottom of each page there is a whole selection of other similar types of movies. Why, you could spend hours and hours educating, enriching and entertaining yourself.
And here's a tip, Seth, why not check out some of these titles with your GF. Don't be afraid to ask her for a little direction on finding precisely the sorts of things that interest her. If, as you say, she is more sexually experienced then you; then, by all means, allow her to take the lead. This in no way insinuates that you are less a man for doing this. Rather it will mark you as an open minded, sexually progressive fellow who wants to learn. No woman will be able to resist that.
Finally, I encourage you to keep things playful…even as you learn.
Good luck

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Company Fired Laborer Because of Back Impairment, Federal Agency Charges
PITTSBURGH -- MPW Industrial Services, a provider of industrial cleaning, facility management and labor support services, fired an employee because of his disability in violation of federal law, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it announced today.
According to the lawsuit, on the day he was hired as a laborer, Todd Semko completed a medical questionnaire form that revealed he has an implanted Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) unit in his lower back for his back impairment. Semko also noted on the form that he did not need any job modifications or accommodations to perform the essential functions of the job.
The company immediately placed Semko in a training class, but about two hours later he was unexpectedly summoned from the class to speak with the occupational health nurse by telephone. The EEOC charged that the nurse asked Semko about his TENS unit and told him he would not be able to charge the unit at the job site to which he would likely be assigned, a steel plant in Dravosburg, Pa. Semko responded that he charged the TENS unit at home and it held a charge for months so he would not need to recharge the TENS unit at work. Semko also informed the company nurse that he had been medically cleared to work with no restrictions, but the nurse told Semko that he could not be employed because the company could not guarantee a place for him to charge the TENS unit, the EEOC said.
Company records show that it discharged Semko just hours after hiring him because he was "deemed 'not medically qualified'" by its nurse. The company, however, never requested any additional medical information from Semko's doctor regarding his medical condition. The EEOC asserts that the company terminated Semko because of his disability.
Such conduct violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. MPW Industrial Services, Inc., Civil Action No. 2:13-cv-01011) in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
"This case illustrates why the ADA was passed," said EEOC Philadelphia Regional Attorney Debra M. Lawrence. "While employers may ask for medical information from newly hired employees under certain, limited circumstances, companies run afoul of the ADA if they make hiring and firing decisions based on fears or misconceptions about someone's disability or medical treatment."
EEOC district director Spencer H. Lewis, Jr. added, "Mr. Semko had been medically released to do the laborer job. By acting rashly and without all the objective, medical facts, the company lost the services of an eager and qualified worker."
One of the six national priorities identified by the EEOC's Strategic Enforcement Plan is for the agency to address emerging and developing issues in equal employment law, including issues involving the ADA and pregnancy-related limitations, among other possible issues.
The Philadelphia District Office of the EEOC oversees Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia and parts of New Jersey and Ohio.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the agency is available at its website, www.eeoc.gov.

Stony Brook Southampton's new Almost Beachfront Digital Print Studio presented an exhibition of student work created by young artists from Sag Harbor's Pierson Middle-High School on Saturday. The diverse collection of prints, including drawn, painted and photographic imagery on a variety of papers and fabric, was the result of a three-day intensive printmaking workshop at the Almost Beachfront Studio.
"They were locked in the studio," said Scott Sandell, director of the new MFA in visual arts program at Stony Brook Southampton. "All they could do was work on their prints," he said, explaining that the students worked from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for three consecutive days. "They never lost focus," Sandell added, remarking on the students' work ethic and their fearless experimentation.
Also led by Pierson art teacher Peter Solow and guest artist Casey Anderson, the program was funded by the high school's Donald Reutershan Educational Trust, which gives Pierson's art program money for special projects and programs, as well as a $10,000 scholarship for one exceptional student artist each year.
"This was terrific," Solow said, commenting on the Sag Harbor School District's commitment to allow the students three days to make art in lieu of their regularly scheduled classes. He noted that working with professional artists in this atmosphere is key to student development. "The kids flourished," Solow said.
This was clearly evident upon entering the show, which was up for just one night at Stony Brook's Avram Gallery. Three large prints by Emma Buckner dominated the small room from their spot on the back wall. Buckner's prints layer ethereal self-portraits (or what appear to be self-portraits) with aquatic textures, such as fish, a sea turtle and the water itself. A similarly large and obscured photographic piece by Julie Sava hung to the left and mades good use of its grainy texture and mysterious light.
Other students created two-sided, fold-up accordion-style books that when unfolded extend as long as six feet across the wall. Among them, Hallie Ulrich's lengthy black and white print book features manipulated images of tree branches on six panels and Sydney Mitchell's print book comprises three two-sided panels with brightly colored and saturated photographs of Venice, Italy. Mitchell's piece is an excellent demonstration of the digital print studio's high-resolution and color capability.
Will Broich is one of just two students who did not use photography in their prints. His primitive devil is a hand drawn picture made into a print. It was presented in its original black line form on one side, while a hand-painted version hung to its right.
Other participating students included Ellison Ulrich, Nell Dobbs, Katherine Coronado, Miranda Hirsch, Joy Tagliasacchi and Chance Sevigny.
The Young Artists Workshop had excellent results, according to Sandell, who envisions Almost Beachfront as "a regional center for contemporary printmaking." He plans to choose "outstanding or applicable" artists to come in and create original prints for publication through the studio and Stony Brook. Sandell chose playwright Joe Pintauro for the first project and it's become a massive and exciting undertaking.
"It's thrilling," Pintauro said of the project, which he described as a narrative photo essay of St. Marks Square in Venice, "in the 14th century style." The playwright said he's spent many hours working in the studio with Sandell, and the final product will be a "very expensive" table book, with black and white and color pictures, that unfolds to be 8-9 feet long. "I've been photographing Venice since 1964," Pintauro said, noting that the prints would be very tenderly produced. "I'm very, very into it and attached to it."
Sandell and Pintauro are still working on the project, choosing fine papers and finalizing details such as the size of the edition, but it's clearly a labor of love for both of them.
Solow said renowned artist Perico Pastor would be the next professional visiting Pierson's art program thanks to the Reutershan Trust. He is teaching students the art of painting with Sumi ink over the week of December 10-15.

Another reason to support gay marriage...
Opponents of gay marriage claim they support civil unions...yet look at what has happened in Michigan.
A Michigan appeals court ruling that bans public universities and state and local governments from providing health insurance to partners of gay employees has alarmed gay rights advocates nationwide.Fortunately, we don't have to worry about this in Canada!
They fear the decision could encourage similar rulings in 17 other states whose bans on gay marriage could be interpreted to prohibit domestic partner benefits for same-sex couples.
Michigan last week became the first state to rule that public employers cannot offer health benefits if the benefits are based on treating same-sex relationships similar to marriage.
''It really is just a matter of time before we start seeing wholesale litigation in this area,'' said Carrie Evans, state legislative director for the Human Rights Campaign, a gay rights group in Washington.
In Alaska, the only other state to rule on the benefits given to same-sex partners of public employees, the courts ruled the other way, saying it was unconstitutional to deny them.
More than 20 other states have yet to decide how their gay marriage bans apply to same-sex partner benefits.
Dennis Patrick, a professor at Eastern Michigan University, worries that Michigan's ruling will strip his partner's health insurance.
The couple have adopted four foster children, one with a developmental disability, and Tom Patrick works part-time so he can care for them.
"If he has to go back to work full-time, that hurts our family. Or we have to pay for health benefits out of pocket, which hurts our family," Dennis Patrick said. "To me that either demonstrates a lack of understanding of how this can affect our family or other families, or it's just mean and cruel."

Act of Mercy
Some time after completing Wayward Son, another letter finds its way to Gamlen's. The anonymous letter is addressed to Hawke and sings the praises of your gallantry throughout Kirkwall, then ultimately insinuates the need for a favor. When you pursue this questionable matter at a site just off the Wounded Coast, you discover the area to be infested with Dragonlings -- a grim foreshadowing of the circumstances to come, perhaps?
As you follow your nose to the quest waypoint marker, you run into none other than a familiar face. Depending on your dealings with him in The Errant Letter and the decision you made in Wayward Son, Thrask's reactions are predicated on those past decisions. In spite of any existing tension, Thrask's proposition is simple still: negotiate some sense to a group of runaway Apostates to have them surrender peacefully to the Templars.
The first room of the Runaway's Cavern already sets the tone for the skillful opposition you are about to face: Apostates who have risen a legion of undead Corpses to aid them. The Apostate must not be allowed to freely cast his spells. Having Dispel Magic at this point is crucial to any repertoire designed to take down magic-users, but also stuns and similar effects, or even any crowd control abilities that keep the Apostate indisposed for as long as possible, will swing any encounter involving them in your favor. You won't run into any more Apostates as you trek through this initial leg of the cavern, but don't expect it to be a free ride as well.
Midway through you meet a defector, who explains that he cannot stomach the decisions and unsanctioned practices of the Apostate leader, Decimus. Dabbling in blood magic, raising the dead, leading the mages to ruins; these are some of Decimus' heavy convictions that you must place a stopper on.
In the main cavern ahead, Decimus attacks the party rather indiscriminately despite his apprentice's protests. Not surprisingly, Decimus summons a bevy of Corpses and Skeletal Archers to fight by his side, but the primary target here should be obvious. Decimus displays the usual tricks of an Apostate, which can be kept under control with proper Dispels, interrupts, and such. Thankfully, all his magical acumen doesn't properly reinforce his defense against physical attacks, so dedicate your highest physical damage dealer, such as Varric, to unleashing a flurry of attacks upon him to severely tax his health bar, if he hasn't been decimated already. Once Decimus is removed from the scene, the rest of the fight is just cleaning up the rest of the cannon fodder.
The climax point of this quest hinges on how you approach your decision in addressing the extant problem involving the clash between the runaway Apostates and the blood-thirsty Templars. You can refuse all involvement, which ends with the Apostates leaving of their own accord but after Grace threatens to expose any mages in your party. Pledge to assist the Apostates and the methodology ultimately comes in two distinct flavors: Lie to Thrask or kill Thrask. The former garners approval from all party members across the board with the possible exception of Fenris, whereas the latter's brutal option yields the least favorable reactions from your party members.
There isn't a quick method of egress here, but that leaves you to explore the surrounding area to unearth its hidden treasures. You'll be forced to plow your way through the risen undead on your way back to the entrance, but when you finally get there you'll have on your hands greater stress than dealing with a bunch of animated Corpses. Much of what follows after the conversation depends on your prior arrangements in the cave. We went with lying to Thrask and incidentally also had Varric in the party, whose quick wit stepped in to smooth out all the rough edges. Alternate paths lead to conflict with Karras and his men, or sentencing the mages to a life with the Circle.
The available quests dependent upon your decisions are as follows:
- Bounty Hunter is available if the mages went with the Circle.
- The Midnight Meeting if Karras is killed.
- Search and Rescue if mages are let free.

UMATILLA, Fla. - A Marion County man has been arrested after deputies say he offered money to a 14-year-old girl for sex, then kidnapped her, strangled her and drove over her with his SUV when she refused.
Adrian Mendez was booked into the Marion County Jail on charges of attempted murder and kidnapping.
Deputies said they found the girl lying on the side of Wilson Parrish Road near Umatilla on Sunday night. She was airlifted to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. Investigators say while she was at the hospital, she was able to pick her attacker out of a photo line-up and he was arrested at his Marion County home.
The victim says Mendez offered her $200 for sex and when she refused, Mendez grabbed her hair and pulled her into his Ford Explorer. He then strangled the victim until she lost consciousness, deputies said.
About 90 minutes later, deputies said they saw an SUV intentionally back over the girl and then sped forward, spinning the vehicle's tires on the girl's body.
"I keep seeing it in my head. How do you do that to a little girl? When you got up there you could see she was a little girl," said witness Shane Green, who says he was outside barbecuing when he heard the incident. "He was on top of her with the vehicle. And I started screaming at him. He backed up, he literally backed up and hit her again and he went to take off because he heard us screaming at him. He hit his brakes and was spinning his tires on top of that little girl."
The girl was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries but her condition has slightly improved.
The girl's grandmother said she wanted to ask Mendez why he would do this to her granddaughter.
"She's only 14 years old. Why?" she said. "He don't have to do that to her."
Mendez was located a short time later and arrested.

After a surge of interest in the newly reorganized farmer's market, the county has given the organization additional funding.
County Council is providing an additional $3,000 for the farmers market. The money will be used to buy new furniture and for various renovations at the market.
Councilman Jack Estridge said this is the time to address the needs of the vendors and the community.
Now that Mick Mulvaney of Indian Land will be going to Congress, who will take his place in the state Senate?
Mulvaney, a Republican, defeated 14-term incumbent U.S. Rep. John Spratt, a Democrat from York, to win the 5th District congressional seat in Tuesday's midterm election. Mulvaney is halfway through his term as the District 16 representative in the state Senate.
Several names have surfaced as possible successors to Mulvaney in the District 16 seat, though no one has yet made a commitment to run.
Lancaster City Councilman Kenny Hood said voters picked the better candidate in the District 1 race.
Hood, who represents that district, defeated challenger Anthony Elder by 58 percentage points Tuesday night.
Hood got 262 votes (79 percent) compared to Elder's 70 votes (21 percent).
The Lancaster County Election Commission certified the results Friday.
"The best candidate won," Hood said. "The work I've done speaks for itself."
Lancaster County Council will hold its regular meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday.
Discussion and information items include:
• Restoration of the historic courthouse
• Planning commission yearly update
• Roy Hardin Park update
• Committee reports
• County attorney report
Action items include:
• Authorization of the sale of surplus property
• Approval of work session and regular session minutes
• Board and commission appointments
Agenda items include:
About 15 minutes after becoming the first Republican from Lancaster County to win the 5th Congressional District seat in more than 100 years, Mick Mulvaney appeared overwhelmed.
Surrounded by his wife, Pam, and members of his campaign team, Mulvaney, the state senator for District 16, thanked a crowd of supporters at the Bradley Arts and Sciences Building at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster for his win over Democratic incumbent John Spratt, who has held the seat since 1983.
Mick Mulvaney made history Tuesday night as he became the first Lancaster County resident to return to the state's 5th Congressional district seat in more than 50 years.
Mulvaney, the state senator for District 16, won the seat over Democratic incumbent John Spratt, who's held the seat since January 1983.
Mulvaney is the third Lancaster County resident to hold the seat.
Hundreds of anxious Mick Mulvaney supporters waited for news about the 5th Congressional District race Tuesday night at the Bradley Arts and Sciences Building at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster.
Soon after polls closed at 7 p.m., they were huddled around flat-screen televisions scattered around the room. Cheers, sighs or gasps would occasionally burst from the crowd as votes poured in and the news channels reported the tallies.
Joe Shaw said he worked harder this election than in any of his other campaigns for office.
Shaw, who's been Lancaster's mayor for 28 years, won re-election to his eighth term in office on Tuesday. He said he looks forward to another four years of providing leadership and service to the city's residents.
The mayor received 1,419 of the votes (54 percent) Tuesday.
City Councilwoman Linda Blackmon-Brace finished second with 924 votes (35 percent). Mary Helen Yarborough got 192 votes (7 percent) and Donnie Birchfield got 107 votes (4 percent).
Following are the uncertified Lancaster County vote totals. A * in front of the name indicates the winner of the race. Some changes in vote totals may occur when the votes are certified Friday morning, but they are not expected to change the outcome in any races:
U.S. Congress, 5th District
* Mick Mulvaney, R – 13,059
John Spratt, D (i) – 9,058
U.S. Senate
* Jim DeMint, R (i)– 14,285
Alvin Greene, D – 6,148
Tom Clements, Green Party –1,189
All of the Lancaster County school board members on the ballot Tuesday won re-election.
Don McCorkle, who represents District 1, bested two challengers – political newcomers Leland Hughes and Kevin Sexton.
McCorkle got 2,137 votes (47 percent). Sexton garnered 1,529 votes (34 percent) and Hughes got 860 votes (percent).
All of the figures are unofficial. The county's Election Commission will certify the results Friday.
McCorkle said he had to get out and campaign a lot more than he did in 2006. He believes his message resonated with voters.

Today we conclude our discussion of Peter Enns' excellent book, Inspiration and Incarnation, as part of our series on learning to love the Bible for what it is, not what we want it to be. We've already discussed Chapter 2—"The Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Literature"—in which Enns tackles the difficult question of how to understand the Bible as special and revelatory when Genesis in particular looks so much like other literature from the ancient Near Eastern world, and Chapter 3-—"The Old Testament and Theological Diversity"—which addresses some of the tension, ambiguity, and diversity found within the pages of Scripture. Today we turn to Chapter 4—"The Old Testament and its Interpretation in the New Testament" to discuss a phenomenon that has bothered me for years: the seemingly strange interaction with Old Testament texts by New Testament writers.
I'll never forget the first time I found myself questioning Matthew's interpretation of Hosea. I was in high school, doing some sort of Bible study centered around Christ's fulfillment of prophecy, and I encountered Matthew 2:12-15, where Matthew recounts the family of the young Jesus feeing Egypt. Referencing Hosea, Matthew writes, "and so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet, 'Out of Egypt I called my son.'" But a simple reading of Hosea 11:1 revealed that the prophet was not writing about the young Jesus or even a future Messiah, but of Israel being "called out of Egypt" and slavery under Pharaoh. (See Hosea 11:1-3.) To say that this text referred to Jesus seemed to go against the grammatical-historical grain; it seemed like a bit of a stretch. But who was I to criticize a biblical writer for his exegesis?
Through the years, I would encounter New Testament passages like these over and over again, passages that seemed to play fast and loose with the original meaning of Old Testament texts. I'm obviously not the first to notice this, as Enns explains: "To observe how the New Testament authors handle the Old Testament is to conclude that their notions of what constitutes a proper handling of the Old Testament do not always square with our own instincts-in fact, quite often, the differences are striking....A convenient label often attached to such an approach is 'grammatical-historical,' meaning that the words of the text in front of you must be understood in their original grammatical (i.e., interpreting the text in the original language) and historical contexts. Although this is a healthy approach to reading literature in general, when this method is applied rigidly to apostolic hermeneutics, we sometimes find we have painted ourselves into a theological corner…" (p. 116).
According to Enns, the only way we can begin to understand why New Testament writers handled scripture this way is to understand the hermeneutical conventions of their time, which are rooted in the literary conventions of the Second Temple period, and to appreciate the degree to which the apostolic writers positioned their reading of Scripture in light of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
"To put it succinctly," writes Enns, "the New Testament authors were explaining what the Old Testament means in light of Christ's coming." And they were doing so using Second Temple interpretive conventions.
Enns goes on to examine various passages from Second Temple literature to show how "biblical interpreters exhibit for us an attitude toward biblical interpretation that operates on very different standards from those of modern interpreters. They were not motivated to reproduce the intention of the original human author. They were much more concerned to dig beneath the surface to reveal things ("mysteries" as the Qumran scroll put it) that the untrained and impatient reader would miss" (p131).
He points to five examples of New Testament authors utilizing Old Testament texts in this way:
- Matthew 2:15 quoting Hosea 11:1
- 2 Corinthians 6:2 quoting Isaiah 49:8
- Galatians 3:16, 29 speaking of Abraham's seed
- Romans 11:26-27 quoting Isaiah 59:20
- Hebrews 3:7-11 quoting Psalm 95:9-10
He also points to examples in which New Testament writers refer to the extra-biblical accounts from Second Temple Judaism in their writing:
- Jannes and Jambres in 2 Timothy 3:8 (Their names do not come to us from the Old Testament text but from the second temple interpretative world.)
- The dispute over Moses' body in Jude 9 - (an account not found in the Old Testament text itself but in Second Temple literature).
- The account in Acts 7:21-22 referencing Moses' Egyptian education (found not in the Old Testament, but in Second Temple works like Philo's Life of Moses)
These examples show that, just as the creation account of Genesis 1 should be read in light of other Ancient Near Eastern creation texts, so the New Testament writers should be read in light of Second Temple texts. Reading them in this way does not diminish their authority or power, but simply helps us understand them better when our own cultural and hermeneutical assumptions may get in the way. It helps explain why the text behaves differently than we expect, (or perhaps want), it to behave.
Enns argues that when New Testament authors spoke of Old Testament passages, they were bringing a specific hermeneutical insight to them. "The term I prefer to use to describe this eschatological hermeneutic is christotelic," he writes. "I prefer this over christological or christocentric since these are susceptible to a point of view I am not advocating here, namely, needing to 'see Christ'; in every, or nearly every, Old Testament passage. Telos is the Greek word for "end" or "completion". To read the Old Testament 'christotelically' is to read it already knowing that Christ is somehow the end to which the Old Testament story is heading." (p154).
He points to Luke 24:44-4 where Jesus said, "This is what I told you while I was with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.'' The text goes on to report that Jesus "opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, 'This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things."
According to Enns, Jesus is not appealing to the Old Testament for proof texts, but rather saying that "all Scriptures speak of him in the sense that he is the climax of Israel's story."
(If you've read any N.T. Wright this is starting to sound eerily familiar.)
"The Old Testament as a whole," Enns concludes, "is about [Jesus], not a subliminal prophecy or a couple of lines tucked away in a minor prophet. Rather, Christ—who he is and what he did—is where the Old Testament has been leading all along. To see this requires that Christ open our minds as he did the minds of his disciples. In other words, to see how Christ fulfills the Old Testament—the whole story, not just some isolated prophecies—is not simply a matter of reading the Old Testament objectively, but reading it 'Christianly,' which is what we see in the New Testament time and again." (p. 120)
"There can be no question that such a thing can be counterintuitive for more traditional evangelical doctrines of Scripture," Enns confesses, "since this is eisegesis (reading meaning into Scripture) rather thanexegesis (getting meaning from Scripture)." Still, there are practical applications for followers of Jesus and readers of Scripture today:
"A Christian understanding of the Old Testament should begin with what God revealed to the apostles and what they model for us: the centrality of the death and resurrection of Christ for Old Testament interpretation. We, too, are living at the end of the story; we—as were the apostles—are engaged in the second, christotelic reading by virtue of our eschatological moment, the last days, the inauguration of the eschaton. As we read and interpret, we bring the death and resurrection of Christ to bear on the Old Testment. This is not a call to flatten out the Old Testament, so that every psalm or proverb speaks directly and explicitly of Jesus. It is to ask oneself, 'What difference does the death and resurrection of Christ make for how I understand this part of the Old Testament?"
I love that last line, and I long to see those who teach, preach, and write about Scripture do more of this.
So, what do you think? Does Enns' approach help resolve some of the tension you have observed in how New Testament writers interpret Old Testament passages? What does it mean, practically, to preserve and celebrate (as much as we can) the original intent of the authors of the Old Testament while still asking ourselves, 'what difference does the death and resurrection of Christ make for how I understand this part of the Old Testament'? And can you think of a sermon, book, or conversation in which this was done well?
As a former English Lit major, I find myself wondering if we might think about this as we think of references to poetry in literature, where the meaning of the original poem carries new weight in light of the context of the second piece. What do you think?
And a programming note: We'll take a little hiatus from our Bible series while I choose and start on another book for our discussion. Any suggestions?

Pony Drop Cheek
The Drop Cheek has an Eggbutt like ring at the mouthpiece for the rein, with an upper cheek that has a ring at its end, to which the cheekpiece of the bridle is attached.
The mouthpiece does not slide on its ring resulting in only slight poll pressure. The cheekpieces lies flat against the horse's face, and the mouthpiece is quite fixed in the mouth and concentrates pressure on the bars.
Our pony bits feature cheekpieces that are a ¾ scale version of our standard bits.

Judicial Watch Sues Obama Administration for Records about the Failure of Scandal-Ridden Bankrupt MF Global Holdings Ltd.
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and fights government corruption, announced today that on July 18, 2012, it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Vern McKinley v. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Securities and Exchange Commission (No. 1:12-cv-01176)) against the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) seeking records related to internal discussions involving the bankrupt company MF Global Holdings Ltd. Judicial Watch's FOIA lawsuit, filed on behalf of Vern McKinley, focuses specifically on an October 31, 2011, meeting of the Treasury Department's Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), during which MF Global was reportedly discussed. McKinley is a former employee of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and author of Financing Failure: A Century of Bailouts.
Judicial Watch seeks the following records from both the SEC and the CFTC pursuant to the original April 24, 2012, FOIA requests:
…copies of any and all records concerning this update of MF Global, the discussion of the implications for the broader financial system, and any follow up contact and discussions on public statements. Such records include, but are not limited to, detailed meeting minutes, meeting notes, supporting memoranda, communications, and electronic messages and attachments.
The CFTC acknowledged receiving the FOIA request on April 25, 2012, and was required to issue a final response by May 23, 2012. To date, the CFTC has failed to respond to the request in accordance with FOIA law.
The SEC acknowledged receiving the FOIA request on April 25, 2012, and was required to issue a final response by May 23, 2012. To date, the SEC has failed to respond to the request in accordance with FOIA law. (The SEC indicated in an interim response on May 18, 2012, that it had uncovered a two-page document responsive to Judicial Watch's request, but withheld the document in full.)
The FSOC was established under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The Council is charged with "identifying threats to the financial stability of the United States; promoting market discipline; and responding to emerging risks to the stability of the United States financial system."
Per Reuter's, on October 31, 2011, the FSOC held a conference call to discuss MF Global Holdings Ltd. the same day the company filed for bankruptcy: "The Financial Stability Oversight Council, which is headed by the Treasury Department, received 'a series of oral reports' from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Federal Reserve, the official said. No other details of the call were provided." Judicial Watch and Mr. McKinley have been sharply critical of the FSOC for failing to anticipate the MF Global meltdown in accordance with its congressional mandate.
MF Global was forced to file bankruptcy after what has been described as "one of the most egregious violations of trust on Wall Street." The company allegedly stole $1.6 billion from customer accounts in an attempt to cover the company's losses and lied to bondholders about the financial condition of the company. Former U.S Senator and New Jersey Governor John Corzine was forced to resign as CEO for MF Global for his alleged role in the improprieties at the company.
"The FSOC is yet another expensive bureaucratic boondoggle that has failed to provide the financial stability and oversight promised by its congressional mandate. The American people deserve to know the truth about what FSOC officials knew about the epic failure of MF Global and when they knew it. But once again, the Obama administration refuses to provide basic information related to its 'oversight' of the private sector," stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
Judicial Watch has launched a comprehensive investigation to determine under what legal authorities and lawful rationales the federal government initiated the Wall Street bailouts and has filed a number of lawsuits on behalf of Mr. McKinley. More information is available in Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton's new national and New York Times bestselling book, The Corruption Chronicles.

For decades, the accepted degree to get to become a software developer was "Compter Science."
We've had a few questions already about whether that degree really prepares students to develop software.
Some schools have, in the last 8 years or so, started offering multiple distinct majors in programming. Using the curriculum from my school:
- Computer Science, which starts out with some intro programming courses in the first year, and then focuses on theoretical computer science, algorithms, and a bit of OS stuff. Most classes involve several smaller projects and homeworks, done solo or in pairs.
- Software Engineering, which starts out with the same intro programming courses, does a few classes of theory, and then goes into software development practices (testing, process methodologies, sofware metrics, requirements gathering) and software design (distributed system design, info system design, real-time/embedded design, subsystem design, etc)
Different schools do it differently, so the above is just a real-world example I'm familiar with. What I ask is: Is there a need for distinct majors in programming?

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez made a surprise return from Cuba on Monday more than two months after surgery for cancer that has jeopardized his 14-year rule of the South American OPEC member.
The 58-year-old socialist leader's homecoming will fuel supporters' hopes he could return to active rule but there was no new information on his medical state and Chavez might be simply hoping to smooth a transition.
After a six-hour operation in Cuba on December 11, Chavez had not been seen or heard in public until photos were published of him on Friday.
"We have arrived back in the Venezuelan fatherland. Thanks, my God! Thanks, my beloved people! Here we will continue the treatment," Chavez said via Twitter after flying in.
There had been speculation Chavez was not well enough to travel despite wanting to return for continued treatment for the disease he was first diagnosed with in mid-2011.
But Vice President Nicolas Maduro said Chavez flew in at about 2:30 a.m. local time (2 a.m. ET) from Havana and was in a military hospital in Caracas, where a crowd was gathering.
"I remain attached to Christ and trusting in my nurses and doctors," Chavez also tweeted. "Onwards to victory forever! We will live and we will conquer!"
He added his thanks to Cuban leaders Raul and Fidel Castro for his treatment there.
Fireworks mark return
Chavez's arrival thrilled supporters in the nation of 29 million people, where his common touch and welfare policies have made him an idol to the poor.
"It's fabulous news, the best thing possible," Chavez's cousin, Guillermo Frias, told Reuters from the president's rural birthplace in Barinas state. "Venezuela was waiting for him, everyone wants to see him. Welcome home! Thank God he's back!"
Fireworks could be heard going off in some Caracas neighborhoods as news spread and celebrations began among "Chavistas."
Government ministers were jubilant with one singing "He's back, he's back!" live on state TV. They asked Chavez's euphoric supporters to respect the peace of patients at the military hospital.
Chavez's arrival implied some improvement in his condition, at least enough to handle a flight of several hours.
But aides have emphasized in recent days his state remains delicate. "It's a complex, difficult situation, but Chavez is battling and fighting for his life," Foreign Minister Elias Jaua said during the weekend as he described a recent visit to Chavez.
The December operation in Havana was his fourth for the cancer first detected in his pelvic area in June 2011.
Using tube
On Friday, the government published photos showing Chavez lying in a hospital. Officials said he was breathing through a tracheal tube and struggling to speak.
Chavez's pre-dawn return was a typical surprise move for the former soldier whose rule has combined constant political theatrics with thundering anti-U.S. rhetoric, tough treatment of opponents and lavish spending of oil revenues on the poor.
Opponents have been decrying government secrecy over Chavez's condition, and some have called for a formal declaration that he is unfit to rule. That would trigger a new presidential election within 30 days, probably between Maduro and opposition leader Henrique Capriles.
Maduro, a 50-year-old former bus driver, is Chavez's preferred successor and would be favorite to win a close vote in such a scenario.
"Uncertainty over a possible presidential election remains intact, despite the president's return," Venezuelan political analyst Luis Vicente Leon said.
After winning re-election in October last year, and wrongly declaring himself cured, Chavez was unable to attend his own swearing-in ceremony in January. To the fury of his foes, Venezuela's Supreme Court ruled that he remained president and could be sworn in later.
That could now happen at the military hospital.
"Now the president is back, there can be no doubt about the democratic institutions working in Venezuela," Information Minister Ernesto Villegas said.
"There were some who dream of unseating Chavez and the revolution, but here we always said Chavez is the president elected and re-elected by will of the Venezuelan people."
Chavez's return will eclipse national debate over a recent devaluation of the local currency. It has proved highly popular among Venezuelans but opposition parties see it as evidence of economic incompetence by the government.
Unlike previous returns to Venezuela after treatment, state media showed no images of Chavez this time.
His lengthy absence in Cuba had fuelled a long-held opposition accusation that Venezuela's government was being manipulated and directed from Havana. Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro is a political mentor and father figure to Chavez and Castro visited him regularly in the hospital.
Some 20 Venezuelan students have spent the past four days chained up close to the Cuban Embassy in Caracas in protest of what they see as interference from Havana in internal affairs.
Capriles welcomed Chavez back but pointedly said he hoped it would mean a return to order in government and attention to Venezuelans' daily problems.

Portland woman trapped between buildings rescued
PORTLAND, Ore. Portland firefighters cut a hole through concrete and used an air bag and a soapy lubricant to free an Oregon woman who fell part of the way down a 20-foot wall and got herself stuck between two buildings Wednesday morning.
The woman spent about four hours in a space 8 to 10 inches wide before rescuers managed to free her as television cameras filmed much of the effort.
Lt. Rich Chatman of the Portland fire department, wearing a blue helmet and harness, climbed into the hole cut by rescuers to help apply the soapy substance.
After the woman surfaced at 7:30 a.m., she raised her face, clenched her fists and shouted, "Oh, my God."
Rescuers had built a platform beneath the woman and had turned on a portable heater to keep her warm in temperatures just above freezing. The air bag was used to spread the walls.
Firefighters said they initially reached the woman by using tools used in earthquake rescues, CBS affiliate KOIN reports.
"She was in good spirits," Chatman said. "We just tried to reassure her ... we weren't going home without her."
Firefighters said they hadn't gotten a clear explanation of the woman's predicament. Chatman said she had been seen smoking or walking on the roof of a two-story building before she fell.
Authorities didn't immediately name the woman.
