(Darbą įkėlė Svečias)

Darbas:

which has exhibits relating to the holocaust.
Right then, time to move away from the Old Town (finally!). Vilnius' main commercial street is Gediminas prospektas which runs roughly westerly from the Cathedral Square. Along here you'll find lots of shops, bars, and plenty of Government departments.
At number 40 you'll find the KGB Museum, also known as The Museum of the Genocide of the Lithuanian people, housed in Vilnius' former KGB Headquarters. You can view the cells where thousands of Lithuanians were interrogated and tortured before being deported to the Siberian gulags.
Opposite the museum is a small park, Lukiskiu aikste with its 17th century Church of Saints Phillip and James. You can confess in English here!
Moving further West along Gediminas you'll come across a couple of large but very unattractive Government buildings, prime

examples of the school of Soviet architecture, the National Library and the Parliament building. The Parliament building is interesting for the preserved sections of the barricades that were put up in 1991 to protect the building in case of Soviet attack. Now covered in grafitti they resemble some kind of mini-Berlin wall, except that this was put up to keep the bad guys out rather than to keep people in. It is doubtful whether it would have stood up for long in the face of a Soviet tank or 6 though.
There's also a memorial to the 12 civilians killed by Soviet special forces who attacked the TV Tower in January 1991, and 7 border guards killed in a one-sided shoot out with more Soviet special forces at the border point of Medininkai in July 1991.
If you're after a bit of peaceand quiet instead of the hustle, bustle, and commercialism of Gediminas prospektas then head east from the Cathedral Square, crossing the Vilnia River. This will take you to Kalnu Parkas (Hill Park) where the population of Vilnius comes to relax and hang out. At its highest point, Three Crosses Hill, are, surprisingly, Three Crosses, a major Vilnius landmark. The original crosses were put up in the 17th century to commemorate christians martyred on this site. Thet were, of course, taken down by the Soviets but were put up again after independence.
Even further east, on Antakalnio, is the 17th century Church of Saints Peter and Paul; the domed exterior doesn't prepare you for the amazing interior, featuring thousands of sculpted figures, with the odd frescoe here and there.

In the spirit of the IgNobel Prizes, and with the dtilberaee objective of fostering participation in the newly launched , here are the present standings in the 2011 StackExchange Competition: Quien es mas erudito de todo? (QMET).The QMET judging criterion is a single integer: (1) compute the product of three StackExcange reputations: Theoretical Physics, Theoretical Computer Science, and MathOverflow, (2) take the natural logarithm and (#) round to the nearest integer.The present leading 2011 QMET medal contenders include: QMET Gold Medal leader: Peter Shor (22)QMET Silver Medal leader: Joe Fitzsimons (20)QMET Bronze Medal leader: Gil Kalai (19)Regrettably, STEM-sphere luminaries like Terry Tao, Scott Aaronson, and Luboš Motl all score - at present (due to non-participation in one-or-more forums).Who will earn 2011 s coveted QMET Medalla De Oro? To contend (or simply to watch), one need only participate in these three outstanding forums.
