Cyber Attack Raises Stakes for Tech
The software behemoth, which exited its recent third quarter with more than $25 billion in cash and investments, is certainly in a position to swallow a margin hit from its free software. Microsoft Security Essentials also offers a launch pad to sell additional software.
The media's obsession with cyber threats is keeping the issue of computer security firmly in the public eye, and that can only help Microsoft.
There is also the political will to tackle the online threats, potentially opening up a cash cow for tech companies. President Obama, for example, has promised to make cyber security a key priority for his government.
As for the recent events in Washington, fingers have already been pointed at North Korea as the source of the attack, which could explain why the U.S. and South Korea were targets. The image of Kim Jong-Il cackling deviously while hunched over a PC in Pyongyang, however, may ultimately prove wide of the mark."It's very hard to determine who is behind this because the hackers took over computers around the world," said Cluley. "It's just as easy for a kid in their bedroom to do this, as it is for an army." In a world where an acne-ridden nerd can pose as big a cyber threat as The Great Leader, the need for digital security has never been higher. The question is whether consumers will still be willing to pay top dollar for anti-virus software when it becomes available for free. For companies like Symantec, McAfee, and Microsoft, the future is full of both massive risks and rewards.

Question & Answers
Chapter 14 Autogyro Adventure 3 stars
Needing help getting through Chapter 14 Autogyro Adventure in the time allotted. Is there a secret path or trick to complete in 14 min? I currently bypass all landing sights to get to the locked gates, get the "keys" as quickly as possible but still are 2 min + over the time limit to attain the third star.
Answer from: NiceGuy1
When you're flying, get every purple star thing you can, they fuel a speed boost. Then, you can use that speed boost by pressing Attack 1 (I think that's A on the Wii). You've had to do this all along to do the final escape flight, but you have speed boosts available starting from the second flying section.
Yes, of course skip all the optional landing sites. And of course pick someone who moves fast and kills fast (I tend to use Stealth Elf or Legendary Stealth Elf, with their acrobatic flips). Skip every fight you can, but I think in this level, all fights (or just about all) are mandatory, so you need someone who can finish them quickly. If you aren't on Nightmare difficulty, make sure you're on Easy difficulty (you can change/check difficulty if you pause and check the settings in the General category).
Good luck!

San Francisco Giants (67-54)@
Cincinnati Reds (50-69)
Wednesday, August 19
Great American Ball Park
Attendance: None
Game Leaders
W: Romo
(4-2) 4.84 era
S: Wilson
L: Arroyo
(11-12) 4.56 era
Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Barry Zito threw six shutout innings and three San Francisco relievers finished the two-hitter, as the Giants edged the struggling Reds, 1-0, at Great American Ball Park.
Zito allowed only two hits and walked one, but did not factor into the decision as the Giants scored the game's only run in the eighth inning, on one of Nate Schierholtz's two doubles.
Sergio Romo (4-2) followed Zito with 1 2/3 perfect innings to take the win, while Jeremy Affeldt finished the eighth inning. Brian Wilson tossed a 1-2-3 ninth to get his 30th save and nail down the victory, San Francisco's third in a row. The Giants have won the first two of this three-game series, which ends Thursday afternoon.
"We've won a lot of ballgames, 1-0, 2-1. Those guys come in and they just put up zeroes," Zito said of the Giants' bullpen. "It enables the starting pitcher to go out and do his job, and not try to economize pitches."
Bronson Arroyo (11-12) allowed nine hits and walked one in an eight-inning start for the Reds, but limited the Giants to the one run and struck out five. Still, he took the loss, Cincinnati's fifth in a row. The Reds have been shut out twice during the losing streak.
Cincinnati center fielder Drew Stubbs, called up from Triple-A Louisville earlier Wednesday, made his major league debut and doubled. Stubbs, the eighth overall selection in the 2006 draft, took the roster spot of Willy Taveras, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left quadriceps.
Additionally for the Reds, first baseman Joey Votto left in the first inning with blurry vision. Votto, who missed a number of games earlier this season because of dizziness caused by an inner ear infection, will be re-evaluated Thursday.
"He went to see the optometrist, and he says he might be okay for tomorrow," Reds manager Dusty Baker said of Votto. "Just hoping that he's back in there."
The game started following a 40-minute rain delay, and the Giants had a number of chances early. Schierholtz hit a two-out double in the first but was stranded, while in the second, the Giants loaded the bases with one out. However, Zito grounded into a double play to end the threat.
Votto, meanwhile, didn't even take his first at-bat. He was due to bat third in the bottom of the first, but was replaced by Kevin Barker, who played the rest of the contest at first and went 0-for-4.
The Reds threatened in the sixth inning, when Stubbs fisted an inside pitch just inside the right field foul line and stretched the hit into a double. He advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt, but Barker grounded out to end the inning.
San Francisco had runners in scoring position with two down in the seventh, but pinch-hitter Fred Lewis' pop-out to second stranded the runners. In the bottom half, Romo took over for Zito and struck out the side.
Then, in the eighth, the Giants broke through. Edgar Renteria singled with one out and motored home on Schierholtz's double to left. Reds left fielder Wladimir Balentien attempted a diving catch but couldn't make it, allowing Renteria to cross the plate.
Romo retired the first two batters of the home eighth, while Affeldt struck out pinch-hitter Laynce Nix to send the game to the ninth. Wilson took the mound to finish the game and fanned the first two batters, then got Barker to ground out to seal the victory.

LONDON — They train together in Oregon under the guidance of former marathon great Alberto Salazar. They represent different countries in these Olympic games, but Mo Farah and Galen Rupp could hardly have been more close Saturday night.
Farah electrified the crowd of 80,000 in Olympic Stadium by winning the men's 10,000 meters, giving Great Britain its third gold medal of the evening at the track. Rupp finished on his heels, giving the U.S. its first medal in the men's 10,000 since Billy Mills won at Tokyo in 1964. In a thrilling race with multiple lead changes and huge roars from the crowd, Farah finished in 27 minutes, 30.42 seconds, with Rupp just 0.48 of a second behind him as he held off a pair of Ethiopians. Tariku Bekele took the bronze and his brother Kenenisa, the defending champion, finished fourth.
Farah and Rupp worked together, plotting strategy while sitting patiently in the middle of the lead pack of a dozen runners through much of the race while letting others exchange surges.
"During the middle of the race, I was starting to get a little antsy," Rupp said. "I was kind of wondering whether to go, and (Farah) kind of tapped me on the shoulder, he's like, 'Just relax, mate, everything's fine, they're going to come back. We've just got to play it cool now and save everything to the finish.' That really calmed me down."
Rupp's silver was another breakthrough for American distance running, taking an important place in that evolution along with Shalane Flanagan's bronze medal in the 10,000 at the 2008 Beijing Games and a pair of medals in the marathon at the 2004 Athens Games — silver for Meb Keflezighi, bronze for Deena Kastor.
"It's still a little weird seeing Great Britain and the United States on a medals stand in a distance race," Rupp said. "This is something we've been talking about, me and Alberto, since high school — coming on 10 years now. To be able to be first and second with my training partner and one of my best friends, I couldn't be more thrilled and thankful for the way this race went."
Salazar has coached Rupp, 26, since he was at Central Catholic High School in Portland. Farah joined their Nike Oregon Project in 2010 and won the 10,000 at the world championships last year. Former Colorado Buff Dathan Ritzenhein, another training partner, finished 13th Saturday.
Salazar said seeing Farah and Rupp finish 1-2 meant more to him than anything he achieved in his own running career, which included winning three consecutive New York City Marathons (1980-82).
"The only feelings I've had better in my life were getting married and my kids' births," Salazar said. "Even my own successes in running, this makes me feel so much better. These guys are like sons to me, and any parent wants better for their kids than they had themselves."
Farah was born in Somalia but moved to England when he was 8 and speaks with a decided British accent. It was obvious he loved the crowd and the crowd repaid that love.
"This is my home, this is where I grew up," Farah said. "To win the Olympics where you grew up, where you went to school, it means so much to me."
It also meant a lot to him for Rupp to share in the joy.
"We work hard together, we train together, we have a good life, we play PlayStation games, he's one of my best friends," Farah said. "Me and he just have a good life, we're just very laid back and chilled out. I'm just so happy that he finished second."

something. In fact, the economic view of value actually includes many components that have no commercial or market basis (Freeman, 1993a; Krutilla, 1967), such as the value that individuals place on the beauty of a natural landscape or the existence of a species that has no commercial value. Thus, although economic valuation does not include all sources of value that have been identified or that are potentially important, it encompasses a very broad array of values. In addition, it provides a systematic way in which those values can be factored into environmental policy choices. This chapter provides an overview of economic valuation and the role it can play in improving environmental decision-making. The purpose is first to identify the values that are, and those that are not, captured by the economic approach to valuation and then to discuss how a quantification of these values can contribute to better environmental decision-making.
The chapter is divided into two main sections. The first discusses the role of economic valuation in the policy process and addresses the different meanings and sources of value in this context. The role and importance of quantifying values are discussed next, followed by a discussion of how information about values can be used in policy decisions. Finally, the importance of "framing" the valuation question appropriately is discussed, since the way in which a valuation exercise is defined can have a significant impact on the results that emerge from it.
Given this overview, the following section provides a more detailed examination of economic valuation. The section begins with a description of the "total economic value" framework, from which it is clear that economic valuation includes a wide array of values—many (in some cases most) of which are unrelated to any market or commercial value. This is followed by a discussion of quantifying value using a monetary metric. Two monetary metrics are described, willingness to pay (WTP) and willingness to accept (WTA), and the implications of using one versus the other are discussed. Finally, a discussion of discounting follows because many environmental policy impacts extend over long durations and it is important to incorporate the timing of these impacts into any valuation analysis. Discounting is the approach most commonly used in economic analysis to capture the timing of benefits and costs. The important distinction between discounting as a means of weighing the utility of future generations differently from that of present generations (utility discounting) and discounting as a means of weighing consumption (through benefits and costs) differently at different times (consumption discounting) is highlighted. The chapter closes with a summary of its conclusions and recommendations.
The broad overview of economic valuation provided in this chapter is followed in subsequent chapters by more detailed discussions of the types of ecosystem services that can be valued, the economic methods that can currently be used to quantify those values, and the role of professional judgment and uncertainty in ecosystem valuation.

Tampa buffets mean more than just Chinese
On the surface, buffets seem to be the ultimate culinary idea. Everyone gets exactly what they want, at the portion size they want, at a price they want. Unfortunately, more often than not, when people think of buffets these days, a few things tend to come to mind: old people, spotty quality, and lack of variety. Perhaps because today's traveler is more cost-efficient or simply because of a new trend, buffets have enjoyed a certain renaissance in Tampa over the past several years. With the spate of new hotels opening or renovating throughout the town, new players in the buffet scene have emerged. Couple those new options with restaurants that have been favorites of locals and visitors for years and you have a winning combination that is sure to please everyone's tastes, style, and bank account. You will see that sampling buffets in Tampa doesn't mean skimping on quality, originality, or the dining experience.
Come along with 10Best for a tour of the best buffets in Tampa. You can start with the staple cuisine of the buffet scene, Chinese and other Asian styles, with the Crazy Buffet and Hao Wah. Bar none, the best Sunday brunch buffet in town is at Oystercatchers. The best overall variety can be found at Fresh Harvest in the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Ethiopian and Indian foods are expertly prepared at Queen of Sheba and the Apna Kebab House. Vegans feel the love at the Loving Hut. Finally, New World Brewery is fast becoming a lunchtime favorite for their barbecue buffet.
10 Firestick Grill
The newly-renovated Tampa Bay Times Forum boasts one of the finest buffets in town. The Firestick Grill opens two hours before any event and features a revolving menu that rotates with each event you are there to see. There are also three "action stations" available, including a carving station, a taco bar, and a pasta station. Finish off with a dessert or a drink in the Bacardi OakHeart Lounge and you should be well-fueled to cheer on the Lightning or your favorite performer in concert. ((813) 301-6926)
9 Loving Hut
You don't have to be a vegan to enjoy The Loving Hut, but it helps. The Hut prides themselves on their locally-sourced vegan creations while still trying to remain accessible to non-vegans who are just looking for something healthy to eat. Obviously a lot of soy and tofu are used, but in recognizable dishes like Philly subs and wraps using a variety of ingredients. The desserts, particularly their smoothies, are to die for. And since they're vegan, you can tell yourself that you are still eating healthy as you go up for seconds. ((813) 977-7888)
8 Apna Kabab House
Fans of Indian and Pakistani fare may have found their treasure in the Apna Kabab House in New Tampa. As you might have guessed, they serve a variety of char-grilled kabab meats at their lunchtime buffet, but also make available a variety of vegetable and rice dishes as well as different flavors of naan breads. True fans of the cuisine might be also interested in their authentic grocery store, attached to the restaurant. (813-972-5900)
7 Hao Wah
One of the great buffet options in south Tampa is Hao Wah. Reliable, quality food at a reasonable price is the name of the game here. The options are wide-ranging, from a broad sushi offering to staple Chinese and Vietnamese dishes like Peking duck and pho, there is something for every fan of Asian cuisine and culture. You can also order off of the menu and be guaranteed to have enough to bring back for leftovers. (813-253-2095)
6 Queen of Sheba
If you're looking for a first-time experience in your buffet dining, Queen of Sheba might be your best bet. The best Ethiopian establishment in town offers a weekday lunch buffet. Ethiopian cuisine is quite different from almost any other food, using unique blends of spices on traditional meats and vegetable dishes like lentils, collard greens, and potatoes. There's something for everyone and the service staff is more than happy to help those who are new to the Ethiopian game. (813-872-6000)
5 The Laughing Cat
This is one of our local secrets. The Laughing Cat's dinner menu is both classic and rich, and the best dishes are brought out for their famous weekday lunch buffet. You can expect your beloved Italian staples like chicken parmigiana and ravioli Napolitana, all served in mass quantities. You will also find signature house specialties, including succulent roast pork finished in sherry wine. The Cat is well worth a stop if you happen to be exploring Ybor City during the day. (813-241-2998)
4 New World Brewery
The New World Brewery is an Ybor tradition for people looking to escape the techno dance club scene (and the college kids) down the street, but still like interesting beers and an eclectic selection of music. Their barbecue buffet lunch, weekdays from 11-3, might be the best lunch option in town. The beer list features over 100 different brews from all over the world, including about 30 on draft. There's also an interesting selection of pizzas and other snacks to munch on while you're taking in the scene. (813-248-4969)
3 Oystercatchers
Oystercatchers is simply the finest brunch establishment in town, with a buffet offering anything your heart could desire. With a recent move into the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay, one of Tampa's most desirable hotels, Oystercatchers has cemented itself as one of the great restaurant spaces in Tampa. Not only are the dishes inventive and fresh, they are also gathered with conservation in mind. Located near the airport on Tampa Bay, there are expansive views of the water (and none of the runways). Even a stop on the way to the airport before a Sunday flight is worthwhile. (813-207-6815, 813-874-1234)
2 Fresh Harvest
As anyone who has visited Las Vegas knows, the buffet is a central experience to the casino culture. Luckily our local casino, the Seminole Hard Rock, didn't forget this when they established Fresh Harvest. And as everything is top-notch at the Hard Rock, Fresh Harvest has gained the reputation as the best full-cuisine buffet in town. Everything from brick-oven pizza to dim sum is available, cooked fresh in seven live-action kitchens. You can watch the food being cooked before it's brought to the line! (813-627-7625)
1 Crazy Buffet
Crazy Buffet originated the concept of upscale buffet dining here in Tampa. They serve a wide range of high quality Asian concepts, including a Hibachi station, sushi bar, seafood dishes, a chocolate fountain for dessert, and even some American offerings for children or the picky eaters in your group. As its a buffet, the prices are quite reasonable for the quality of food (especially if you can fast for a bit before your visit.) (813-998-9228)

"Keeping in mind these are low-fat cookies, they are excellent. A little more cake-like than a traditional chocolate cookie, but still delicious. The batch only yielded 25 small cookies though. The cookies must be pretty small to yield 40."

"Moist, easy, and delicious. I won't be using a box mix again!"
"My family loves these granola bars. As suggested by others, I used less sugar (about 3/4 cup brown sugar, no white sugar) and they were excellent. They're a special lunchbox treat for my son :)"
"This is a great recipe! I used chicken breasts and they were so tender (and fully cooked after an hour). I also added pineapple and red bell pepper and substituted pineapple juice for some of the maple syrup. The sauce was a little more sour than sweet. I might add a little brown sugar next time."
"Excellent recipe! I've mad the dish twice- once with shrimp and once with crawfish tails. Each time the etouffee was delicious!"

Entomophobia - Mister Mosquito
Eidos | PS2
Let's face it: most of us are total pussies when it comes to bugs. They're gross and kinda creepy, what with their glassy compound eyes and segmented leg parts and hairy shells and all. But sufferers of entomophobia take that to an extreme, unable to touch or in some cases even look at insects. Never mind that the things are tiny and mostly harmless; phobias are unreasonable fears by definition.
But what better way to deal with your fear than to become the thing you're most afraid of for a little while? Released back in 2002, Mister Mosquito casts players as a timid, cute version of one of the universe's worst animals.
Above: Before Shadow of the Colossus, there was the towering Yamada family
As you dare the impossible to suck a tiny bit of blood from a family of three colossal, lumbering and extremely deadly humans, you'll get a sense that these little pests have every reason to be more afraid of us than we are of them. And then, just maybe, you'll learn to have a little more sympathy and trust for the hapless critters and their horrible squishy bodies.
Until you get malaria and die, that is.

The area of Stavropol and its surroundings has become inhabited since ancient times. More than 20 sites of ancient towns and settlements from the epoch of Eneolithic (lat. aeneus) till the Middle Ages found by archaeologists prove it. The oldest site was discovered on the left bank of the river Tashla at the northern foot of the Fortress Hill.
The Tatar site of ancient town which is situated in the outskirts of Stavropol in considered to be the largest one in the Pre-Caucasian territory. It used to be the centre of our region, its ancient capital, a big Medieval city. With the arrival of the Polovts the settled way of life was broken off.
The Kalmyks and the Nogaits roamed from place to place there before the Pre-Caucasian territory was joined to Russia.
The modern history of Stavropol started in 1777 when a fortress within the Azov-Mozdok defensive line was founded. Soon the settlement became a town which was very important as the main "Gates" of Russia at the Caucasus. The development of the town promoted successful opening up of the vast uninhabited territories at the southern borders of Russia, economical cultural rise of the local peoples.
In 1556 the Russian army captured Astrakhan and opened the way to the North Caucasus, to the Caspian sea.
The interests of Turkey, Iran and Crimea Khanate met in the Pre-Caucasian territory. Russia has always been interested in the fate of the Caucasian peoples, stood guard over its southern borders, has felt concerned about the outlet to the Black and the Caspian Seas. England and France supported Turkey and Iran. The people of the Caucasus set their hopes on Russia.
The Russian-Turkish war broke out in 1768. It was over in 1774 and the Kuchuk-Kainardzhiyskiy peace treaty was signed According to this treaty a new border was established from the mouth of the river Terek till Mozdok and farther to the North-West till the fortress of St. Dmitry (now Rostov-upon-Don) and Azov. And here appeared the necessity to build a number of strong holds along the southern border of Russia.
Implementation of this task was put on duke Potyemkin who ordered war specialists to make maps and describe the frontier. As a result of this work the duke submitted Empress Catherine the Great a report on erection of 10 military installations from Azov to Mozdok.
The report was approved and on the 24-th of April 1777 an order was issued about building Azov-Mozdok defensive line.
Cossacks from the Volga and the Don regions moved to the Caucasus to build strong holds and to serve in garrisons. Regular military units protected the construction: Vladimirskiy dragoon regiment and Kabardinskiy infantry regiment, 2 chasseur battalions and several Cossack regiments from the Don region. All these regiments formed the Astrakhan corps. General-major, Governor of Astrakhan Yakobi became the commander of the corps and the manager of the Azov-Mozdok defensive line construction.
On the 22-nd of October 1777 fortress №8 was founded on the right flank of the defensive line to protect the Russian settlements from the hostile Highlanders instigated by Turkey.
The building of the fortress was finished in 1778.
It was a five-cornered strong hold fortified with artillery, the area of it was 10 hectares.
In 1779 the fortress was attacked by the Highlanders. The attack was repulsed, the fortress didn't suffer.
In 1809-1811 the earthen constructions were replaced by stone defensive barracks.
At the same time to the east of the fortress there appeared the Stavropol stanitsa (a large Cossack village) of the Khoperskiy Cossack regiment with its staff. In the centre of this stanitsa there was a square which is occupied by the city market nowadays.
A bit later the retired soldiers began to settle down near the Stavropol fortress. They were supplied with weapon, oxen and horses. Thus the Soldier's settlement appeared and in 1782 494 retired soldiers lived there.
Creating the Azov-Mozdok defensive line at the period of strained relations with Turkey the tsarist government aimed to reinforce the borders and to keep peaceful relations with the Circassians who lived behind the Kuban River and other Caucasian peoples. The military authorities of the Caucasus tried to establish economic relations with them, to promote the exchange and selling of goods, especially in the towns of Ekaterinograd, Georgievsk, Stavropol.
Thus, nearly 6 years passed since the foundation of the fortress and Stavropol became one of the centres of economic relations with Caucasian peoples, the centre of transit trade, the main gates of Russia at the Caucasus. The Great Cherkaskiy Highway connecting Moscow and St. Petersburg passes through the town, the Great Salskiy Road leading to the Volga River, high roads to Rostov and Ekaterinodar were also built.
In 1809 Emperor Alexander I invited 50 Armenian families to settle down on the territory between the fortress and the stanitsa. They were supposed to promote trade.
In 1816 General A.P. Ermolov, Commander-in-Chief at the Caucasus, visited Stavropol. The town becomes the centre of military maintenance and management. In 1819 the commissariat was accommodated in the fortress which was occupied with supplies of the Caucasus corps.
The administrative and economic importance of Stavropol increases and beginning with middle of the 19 century Stavropol plays a great role in the cultural life of the Caucasus.
In 1816 the first printing-works appeared in Stavropol.
After the defeat of the Decembrists uprising a lot of is participants people of great culture and morals were exiled there. A.A. Bestuzhev-Marlinskiy, A.I. Odoevskiy, A.E. Rozen, M.A. Nazimov, H.I. Lorer, V.N. Likharev and others visited Stavropol. The Great Russian poet. M. Lermontov visited Stavropol several times there he met Doctor N.V. Mayer who became a prototype of doctor Verner in the novel "The Hero of Times".
On the 18 of October 1837 the Government established the Caucasus classic men's school.
In 1845 the first in the Caucasus Russian theatre was founded in Stavropol. At the end of 1849 the first women's secondary educational institution was set up there.
In 1850 the first local news paper was published. In 1851 Armenian school began to work. On the 29-th of December 1852 the first public library was opened. Many great people of Russia visited Stavropol. The Commander of the Kuban corps A.V. Suvorov, writers A.S. Griboyedov, A.S. Pushkin, L.N. Tolstoy, General N.N. Rayevskiy, a composer A.A. Alyabiev, a great Russian surgeon N.I. Pirogov, Osetian poet and enlightener K. Khetagurov were among them. In 1894 the great Russian singer F.I. Shalyapin gave a concert in Stavropol.
When the Kuban and Terskaya Cossak provinces were established and the war at the Caucasus was over the political military and economic importance of Stavropol was greatly reduced. This tendency was aggravated by the building of the Rostov-Vladikavkaz railway. And Stavropol which used to stand on the main mail highway of the Caucasus, appeared to be far from the main line.
However Stavropol remained one of the centres of grain trade. In 1897 it was connected with the Kavkazskaya railway station .
Stavropol used to have telegraph communication with Moscow, which was of great importance. Stavropol was a link point in communicating with Teheran, London, Bombay. In 1897 the town telephone network began to develop.
At the beginning of the XX century there were 27 Orthodox parishes, a Polish Roman-Catholic church, a synagogue, a Protestant church and a mosque. In 1920-1930 a lot of churches were closed, but for the Uspenskaya Church, built in 1849.
Stavropol was involved in the events of the Russian revolutions at the beginning of the XX century. The Soviet power was established in the Stavropol Province on the 1-st of January 1918 and on the 5 of July 1918 the Stavropol Province was included into the North Caucasus Republic.
On the 21-st of July 1918 Stavropol was occupied by General Denikin and on the 28-th of the October 1917 it was recaptured by the Taman army. But on the 15-th of November the situation changed and the town was captured again by the army of Denikin, which held the power until 1920.
In 1925 interurban bus service began to develop and the first interurban bus service began to develop and the first interurban line connected Stavropol and Krasnodar, another one connected Stavropol and Pyatigorsk in 1928.
In 1935 the 15-th anniversary since liberation of Stavropol from the White Guards Army was marked and in honour of this event on the 5-th of May 1935 Stavropol got the name of Voroshilovsk.
In 1937 the first taxi-cars appeared on the roads of the town.
In 1938 the urban and interurban telephone exchanges began to work.
According to the general census of the population in 1939 there were 85000 citizens in the town.
World War II (1941-1945) brought a lot of severe trials to the inhabitants of the town. On the 3-rd of August 1942 the town was captured by the fascists and was occupied till 1943.
In 1943 the town got its former name of Stavropol and became the centre of the Stavropol Territory.
During the post-war period Stavropol was rebuilt and began to develop its industry. Several natural gas deposits were found in the surroundings of Stavropol. But only in 1946 the first industrial gas deposit was found near Sengeleevskoe Lake.
In the middle of the 50-th the building of the urban gas – main was completed and at the end of the 50-th the problem of the town gasification was solved.
In 1951 Stavropol got first prize among the cities of the Russian Federation for the organization of public services and amenities and for the planting of greenery. The central park of the city several times won the title of "The best park of Russia".
There are 3 administrative districts in the city nowadays: the Industrial district, the Lenin district and the October district.
More than 60% of the Stavropol Territory's industry consists of mechanical engineering, metal-working, chemistry, electric power engineering and oil and gas.
One of the biggest branches of industry is the food and processing industry.
For many ears agriculture has been the main branch of the Stavropol Territory's economy. Within the Russian Federation the Stavropol Territory is the 4-th biggest supplier of agricultural products.
The Stavropol Territory is famous for medical mineral springs. This area houses a world famous recreational complex which is called Kavkazskie Mineralny Waters.
In 1993 by the decree of the President of the Russian Federation the Head of the city administration was appointed.
In 1994 the first elections of the deputies to the city Duma were held and in 1996 the elections of the second convocation took place as well as the first democratic elections of the Head of the city administration.
In September of 2000 a Stone Cross was erected on the Fortified Hill "Krepostnaya Gora" to commemorate the foundation of the city and in honour of the third millennium.
The active cooperation between the sister-cities (the city of Pazardgik and Stavropol) was resumed. The plan of cooperation for the period of 2001-2002 was signed at the Fortified Hill.
In 2002 Stavropol marked its 225-yh anniversary. A new square with a monument of angel the Savior was built in honour of this important event.

Pen Removed 25 Years After Woman Swallowed It
Originally published on Wed December 21, 2011 9:35 am
By editor
Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer. Picture this: A woman in Britain felt a lump in her throat. She tried to take a closer look with a mirror and a pen, but slipped and fell and swallowed the pen. It sounded so improbable, her doctor and her husband did not believe her.
Twenty-five years later, they're eating their words. The woman just had the pen removed. She is in good health - and the pen still works. Doctors scribbled "hello" on a piece of paper.
It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Normal mammary gland homeostasis requires the coordinated regulation of protein signaling networks. However, we have little prospective information on whether activation of protein signaling occurs in premalignant mammary epithelial cells, as represented by cells with cytological atypia from women who are at high risk for breast cancer. This information is critical for understanding the role of deregulated signaling pathways in the initiation of breast cancer and for developing targeted prevention and/or treatment strategies for breast cancer in the future. In this pilot and feasibility study, we examined the expression of 52 phosphorylated, total, and cleaved proteins in 31 microdissected Random Periareolar Fine Needle Aspiration (RPFNA) samples by high-throughput Reverse Phase Protein Microarray. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis indicated the presence of four clusters of proteins that represent the following signaling pathways: (1) receptor tyrosine kinase/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (RTK/Akt/mTOR), (2) RTK/Akt/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (RTK/Akt/ERK), (3) mitochondrial apoptosis, and (4) indeterminate. Clusters 1 through 3 comprised moderately to highly expressed proteins, while Cluster 4 comprised proteins that are lowly expressed in a majority of RPFNA samples. Our exploratory study showed that the interlinked components of mitochondrial apoptosis pathway are highly expressed in all mammary epithelial cells obtained from high-risk women. In particular, the expression levels of anti-apoptotic Bcl-xL and pro-apoptotic Bad are positively correlated in both non-atypical and atypical samples (unadjusted P < 0.0001), suggesting a delicate balance between the pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic regulation of cell proliferation during the early steps of mammary carcinogenesis. Our feasibility study suggests that the activation of key proteins along the RTK/Akt pathway may tip this balance to cell survival. Taken together, our results demonstrate the feasibility of mapping proteomic signaling networks in limited RPFNA samples obtained from high-risk women and the promise of developing rational drug targets or preventative strategies for breast cancer in future proteomic studies with a larger cohort of high-risk women.

Re: Article: Aiki-Write by Lynn Seiser
I really encourage people to express themselves, including the media of writing.
I spend a good deal of time reading about the writing business. It helps take the fear out of it and not having to figure everything out myself (which never would have happened).
With 4 co-authored books (3 on Aikido and 1 on psychotherapy), a chapter on sport psychology, and close to 300 magazine and newspaper articles (all in my spare time), I've had practice, but still enjoy the support, encouragement, and thinking maybe I have something to offer.
Somewhere I have a handout I used at an Aiki-Extensions conference on writing. If I can find it, I'll make it available.
Everybody has a story to tell. Tell it.

In response to "Tea party candidate stuns House GOP leader Cantor" (June 11):
Conservatives like me fed up with Cantor, others like him
Eric Cantor and establishment Republicans have forgotten the voters who sent them to Washington. Conservative voters are mad over compromise, big government intrusion, and amnesty for illegal immigrants.
David Brat's tea party win in Virginia is like the Hickory Crawdads beating the New York Yankees.
Jim Cherry
In response to "Common Core wrong focus; fix testing, funding" (June 10 Opinion):
Before you oppose it, learn what Common Core really is
Common Core is not curriculum. Common Core is a standard of education, a benchmark.
Common Core simply says the student needs to learn "this" and the school system decides how it will teach "this."
The standard creates consistency and dictates level of proficiency to be obtained by each grade level.
Learn about Common Core before you decide. Go to www.corestandards.org.
Terri DeBoo
N.C. must not give in to vocal minority on Common Core
Yet another education leader, Duke University's Kristen Stephens, implores N.C. legislators to stick with the Common Core rather than give in to a few vocal citizens.
Numerous teachers have told me that Common Core does not need to be thrown out. It needs time for the kinks to be worked out, just like anything else.
Perhaps Stephens should have added that her own university faced a similar dilemma when it chose to keep Coach K years ago, even though many were calling for his ouster due to his 38-47 start after three seasons.

In response to "Airport legislation surprises officials" (June 11):
Rucho seems to have a vendetta against Charlotte
The latest maneuver by Sen. Bob Rucho in the N.C. Senate to seize ownership of the Charlotte airport provides evidence that Rucho enjoys warring against the City of Charlotte as much as Satan enjoys warring against the Bible.
Donald Latham
In response to "City OKs budget with no tax increase" (June 10):
Repeated fee increases taking quite a toll on my water bill
Charlotte may keep real estate tax rates the same, but water rates continue to rise. A bill from March 2005 charging for 30 water days, water usage of 4 CCF's, and 32 storm water days cost $24.77. In December 2013, the bill for virtually the same factors was $45, an increase of 81.7 percent. If the rate rises another $2, the increase in nine years is 97.8 percent.
Miles M. Shanley
In response to "On President Obama's incompetence, we told you so" (June 10 Forum):
Here's the way I recall good old days of George W. Bush
The way I remember it, President Bill Clinton handed off to Bush a vibrant economy, and Bush handed off to Obama the Great Recession.
Yes, it may come to pass – despite improvements in the economy since 2009 – that Bush's mess is just too much for Obama to fix by 2016. But
we're better off with Obama than with John McCain or Mitt Romney, to be sure.

Population of white public school students falling fast
The quest for school diversity resembles the quest for The Holy Grail: passionately sought, never found.
To put CMS's challenge in a national context: Between 1980 and 2010 the percentage of U.S. public school children who are white declined from 74 to 54 percent. This fall, white students will be a minority of public school students nationwide.
Can there be diversity without white students?
Tom Shuford
In response to "Bergdahl's unit dubbed 'raggedy' " (June 8):
By leaving, Bowe Bergdahl failed his fellow soldiers
This article says Bowe Bergdahl's unit "was sent to a remote location with too few troops..." This makes his desertion – or "walking away" – even more of a loss to his fellow soldiers.
Thereafter he collected his military pay, and was even promoted to sergeant. Susan Rice said he served "with honor and distinction." Obama honored his parents at the White House.
There's a lesson in here somewhere.

The first winner was drawn from the set of 49 Followers on Craftsy. I printed all the entries and let our crazy Yellow Nape Amazon "Cayman" choose the winner.... He was a little hesitant...
SimpleSew. Shirley, you have a choice of a printed or PDF version of the Spring Basket pattern. I'll contact you via email ! Congratulations!
Redbird Quilt Co's Facebook page.
The comments were printed and tossed on the table runner -- Cayman went after the winner but he was moving so fast the picture came out a blur (bummer).... None the less we have a winner of another "Spring Basket" pattern.
And the winner is Kathi B. Clower! Kathi blogs over at Design Originals by KC -- Congratulations Kathi! You also have a choice of a printed or PDF version of the pattern. I'll send you an email.

But before we get to that winner I want to say "Thank you, Thank You" to Aurifil for sponsoring this fantastic giveaway! Alex and the whole crew at Aurifil are so very generous and fun!!
the blog post and Mr. Random Generator chose #11.
Stay tuned this week because I'll soon be announcing the Week 3 Celebration and Giveaway!
One last note -- Cayman was really going after the cashew that was buried in the entrant piles... I'm working on training him to choose winners -- but he's not quite there yet... Isn't he cute though?
Thanks again for your sweet comments and support - they really make my day!

Penn research shows mechanism behind wear at the atomic scale
s surfaces rub against one another, they break down and lose their original shape. With less material to start with and functionality that often depends critically on shape and surface structure, wear affects nanoscale objects more strongly than it does their macroscale counterparts. Now, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have experimentally demonstrated one of the mechanisms behind wear at the smallest scale: the transfer of material, atom by atom, from one surface to another.

Brazil's Sky TV lets viewers record shows via Twitter hashtags
One of the best things Twitter has brought to our digital lives is real-time search. If there is breaking news, Twitter, not Google, is the place to search for it. However, one of the worst kept secrets regarding the service is how it now regularly returns results for illegal television streams. Keying in on this trend, one television network decided to harness the power of Twitter to help viewers use the service in a more legal and convenient way.
Created by AgenciaClick Isobar, Sky TV's Brazilian digital agency, the project allows subscribers to essentially record programs via Twitter. After subscribers register their Twitter handles on Sky TV's website, they are then prompted to follow the @skybrasil account. When that account posts a tweet about a program the subscriber wants to watch, the subscriber can simply retweet the tweet with the hashtag #skyrec, and the company will automatically record that program for the subscriber on their set-top box.
According to the company, future versions of the service will allow subscribers to tweet about shows themselves in order to begin the automatic recording. This kind of simple yet innovative use of Twitter is exactly the kind of thing most major companies are overlooking, so hopefully this latest twist will serve as an example for other major networks looking to leverage social media to their advantage. You can check out the spot promoting the Twitter service in the video below.

landslideApril 24.
1. booked an appoint to give blood
2. listed to French 1.1.
3. stretched
4. listed to a new radio station with new music
5. read for a bit 2 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.
1. booked an appoint to give blood
2. listed to French 1.1.
3. stretched
4. listed to a new radio station with new music
5. read for a bit 2 years ago
- go to yoga
- work for 8 hrs
- meditate
- read 150 pages
- don't waste time on the internet
- consume max. one pot of caffeinated tea, no alcohol or weed 3 years ago
Goals for today:
- read 150 pages (maybe read 100)
- don't waste time on the internet (so wasted)
- stretch (did!)
- meditate (this is debatable)
- consume a maximum of two cups of coffee, and no alcohol or weed (did!)
- shop for clothes (did! albeit very briefly and without buying) 3 years ago
It's my 5 year 43T anniversary. 6 things completed. I'm not overly impressed with myself. I hope that my 10 year 43T anniversary feels a little better.
Today I was fairly social. I read a bit. Learned about art. Was fairly positive. I will stretch now and consider myself on track with my goals :)
I know that I make a lot of personal goals that I don't put on my list because I feel driven to pursue them and don't need a reminder online. I do feel good about what I've accomplished in the past five years, but know that I can be even more productive. A lot of my goals are designed to make me more productive. Detoxify. Stop wasting time online. Meditate.
There's only the present moment and the future to look forward to. I am a human being. I can make good choices. I can achieve all of my goals. 3 years ago
