NEW YORK (AP) — New York City's police commissioner says detectives want to speak to five other people in the attack on a SUV driver after a tense highway encounter.
Eight bikers, including a police detective who was off-duty, have been arrested so far on charges ranging from criminal mischief to gang assault.
Commissioner Raymond Kelly says police are still investigating.
Alexian Lien was pulled from his SUV and beaten on the street in front of his wife and toddler on Sept. 29.
Police say the assault occurred after Lien and a biker bumped on the West Side Highway, and they forced the SUV to a stop. The driver fled, plowing over biker Edwin Mieses Jr.
A lawyer for the detective said Friday he will testify before a grand jury.

The Journal of Xenobiotics publishes original studies concerning the beneficial (pharmacology) and detrimental effects (toxicology) of xenobiotics in all organisms. A xenobiotic ("stranger to life") is defined as a chemical that is not usually found at significant concentrations or expected to reside for long periods in organisms. In addition to man-made chemicals, natural products could also be of interest if they have potent biological properties, special medicinal properties or that a given organism is at risk of exposure in the environment. Topics dealing with abiotic- and biotic-based transformations in various media (xenobiochemistry) and environmental toxicology are also of interest.
Areas of interests include the identification of key physical and chemical properties of molecules that predict biological effects and persistence in the environment; the molecular mode of action of xenobiotics; biochemical and physiological interactions leading to change in organism health; pathophysiological interactions of natural and synthetic chemicals; development of biochemical indicators including new "-omics" approaches to identify biomarkers of exposure or effects for xenobiotics. Studies on the interaction of emerging nano- and biotechnological devices and drug-nanopolymers with living tissues are also of interest to the journal.
In addition to research papers, short communications, reviews and mini-reviews, Journal of Xenobiotics will publish special issues dealing with the environmental, pharmaceutical and health impacts of new classes of chemicals. In this case, a special issue will be announced and provided at the journal's web site. Special issues brought by international symposia or other scientific venues are also welcomed.

- Disappointed With FoodNancyAndBobVIPDined on 10/25/2014The restaurant appears to be an oasis in a "developing" community (Hudson) that's still very much a work in progress. The ambiance is refined and comfortable. We felt a little betrayed by the menu that draws on southern/cajun influences, promising SO much... yet falling short in substantive ways. We ordered the Hearts of Palm and crabmeat salad (excellent) and buttermilk fried okra (an auspicious start, decadent) but were completely underwhelmed by the signature dish Shrimp & Grits (runny grits, musty tasting andouille sausage) and the Strip Steak (why does any human being need 20 oz of mediocre beef?). October being apple harvest season, we order the apple pie (or perhaps it was apple crumble?) which tasted more of dough than fruit.
- FunJetDanDined on 10/25/2014Food was just okay. Had to return steak. Spinach salad and desert were great. Club was awesome!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing!YoMama1Dined on 10/18/2014A amazing night! Great food, service and music! Yo Mama was very very happy!Special Features:
- just okmrwilburDined on 9/6/2014The food was ok not great the appetizer was really good the lobster but be on that the service was slow it took at least 8 minutes to get our first drink thats no good. The staff is nice but a little laid back clearing things and bringing bread we had to ask, this was my second time there not my favorite, but you must be doing something wright because you do a great business, good luck hope alote of people keep coming.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/28/2014Very quiet mid week. Food was delicious. Out of 2 menu items.Special Features:
- Helsinki has become Ho-HumOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/20/2014For music, there's no better place in town. The club seats 150-160 and since you can get most of the items on the menu in the club, it's a great buy. The food was so so during our visit. The grilled lobster with grits appetizer was warm and savory. I could have eaten (and should have) three. The grits on the main menu, there since "day one" fell flat on their face. There is no self-respecting cook who would put green and red peppers on grits. Just the wrong flavor. And the shrimp, instead of being a welcome and spicy addition, were just flat (and quite possibly a bit old). Drinks are wonderful and service at the small bar great. Our server, after being very attentive at the start of the meal, disappeared for at least 1/2 hour.Special Features:
- Love HelsinkiDongoDined on 8/15/2014Great food, even better place to catch a show. Intimate setting, great sound, a hidden gem!Special Features:
- Good food & drinkrickfink22VIPDined on 8/14/2014We went here based on a few positive Trip adviser reviews and were not disappointed. It was a weekday, so it was very quiet in the restaurant, while the bar/club did get started as we were leaving. The service is friendly and accommodating, food is very good, creative and solid portions. cocktails were good (no pre-made mixers) and good pours. I had shrimp and grits that was very good and my wife had a local fish special, also well prepared.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pre Show surprisesnapDined on 8/10/2014We dined at Helsinki in order to possibly secure a seat at the club for a show that evening. I didnt expect the food to be anything special but we were most pleasantly surprised that our meals were very good, even edgy- reasons to come to Helsinki on their own. The restaurant was packed in because of the show but service was quite good, they know what they are doing here. We ate outside on a summer evening, very nice- but the interior of the place is a beautifully restored 19th century industrial building. We will be backSpecial Features:
- Great find in Hudson NYcaptmikeVIPDined on 8/3/2014Great place. We ventured up from the River. We heard it could get busy since they have a variety of performers on the weekends. But we lucked out and we had the place to ourselves. The food was great all fresh veggies and presentation was excellent we had rack of lamb and shrimp and grits. Grits were supper creamy and smooth. We will come back in the fallSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great spotdiabolenaDined on 8/1/2014We came for a concert by our favorite band and thought we might as well have dinner there too. The shrimp and grits was delicious. The raj of lamb was the best we've ever had. The club is really neat, the setup and ambiance. Helsinki Hudson was a bit of a drive for us from Saratoga but we'll definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Courtyard a little roughCollie1990Dined on 7/31/2014Love the ambience inside this beautiful place. We have visited multiple times and we were looking forward to experiencing the outdoor dining experience for the first time. The footing (large, loose gravel) is rough (impossible to negotiate in heels) and the uncomfortable chairs were salvaged from a junk heap. Our table was also old and rough and we would have appreciated a table cloth of some kind for cleanliness purposes. Next time we will ask to stay inside to dine. Service and food did not disappoint - consistently good since the place opened. I am always happy with the scallops!Special Features:
- The following 59 reviews are from the Helsinki Hudson reviews archive.
- OutstandingNice2beDined on 7/10/2014The food was delicious. We appreciated the chef's willingness to combine 2 selection of meals to make a custom order. The Stipe Bass over Red Cabbage was superb. The atmosphere in the court yard was festive and create a sense of place that was comfortable and serene under a full moon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/6/2014We had a person with disabilities and it was extremely difficult to park with the uneven sidewalk.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First timertwachtmannDined on 6/28/2014Too pricey the food was excellent did not like the different servers like one serverSpecial Features:
- Great find!KwansongDined on 6/28/2014We had a party of 8 and service and food were wondereful! We all got different things on the menu and no one said they didn't like theirs. Can't wait to go back and bring others!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- As good as ever!RichDined on 6/17/2014From the first meal served several years ago to the one last night, I have never been disappointed. Helsinki keeps on delivering one of the best meals in Columbia county. Also one of the best music venues in New York!Special Features:
- Great FoodJamieVIPDined on 6/8/2014Helsinki was a nice change from the usual American fare. The food was delightfully seasoned and the service was excellent. We were there early (5:15pm) but we'd like to try it when there is more of a crowd and there are musicians scheduled. The ambience is unique with an historical flare and eclectic mix of lighting fixtures and artwork that draw the eye.Special Features:
- AwesomeCyndyDined on 6/6/2014The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and comfortable, the staff was super friendly and courteous. We are going back next weekend to check out some music! Definitely a thumbs up!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 5/2/2014Club Helsinki has a wonderful atmosphere. Unfortunately the food is nothing to write home about.
- Great Ambiance.MikeVIPDined on 4/27/2014The food and service are OK but nothing to rave about. The ambiance is unique. Will definitely go back to enjoy the outdoor patio and of course the music venues.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great VibeJoelDined on 4/27/2014My wife and I went for my birthday dinner. Food was terrific. Great menu choices. Nice, interesting choice of cocktails, beers and wines. Loved the old historic industrial repurposed feel. Very comfortable. Will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect for an unforgettable dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 4/19/2014We went to Helsinki Hudson for a nice romantic dinner. To my surprise, my boyfriend (fiance!) popped the question. Apparently he had purchased the ring some time ago and was waiting for the right moment. He thought Helsinki Hudson was the perfect setting for the occasion! The service, delicious food and atmosphere were simply divine. Overall, this was a truly unforgettable dinner!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nyc in hudsonDavidVIPDined on 4/12/2014fantastic quality food, beautifully presented. a very pleasant dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One Chef's reviewOmnivorusChefDined on 3/9/2014Ordered the Porterhouse medium rare with mashed potatoes, and started with the Charchuterie plate. A very large plate of machine sliced comercial hams and several unremarkable cheese of arrived, & we all comented on the odd charchter of the dish as it looked like a selection from a deli, not the european handmade rustic feel we have come to expect. The Porterhouse was huge ($27) by any known standard & perfectly cooked. Unfortunately it was tough going, as only about half was tender enough. The Mashed potatoes were perfect in every way & I look forward to consuming more in the future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice EveningRussDined on 3/8/2014We had a very nice dinner with very good service at Helsinki. The southern fare menu has something for everyone. The kale salad was excellent, as was the shrimp and grits. Just a nice experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best in HudsonNatureDined on 2/14/2014LOVE this place. It was our second time there and it couldn't have been more perfect. The attractive staff, the magnificent food, well stocked and eclectic bar, and of course, if you are in the mood for entertainment, the showroom is exquisite. If I owned a restaurant, THIS is what it would look and taste like. You can drop some money, though, so don't expect a cheap night out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Dinner, Fabulous StaffTinaMDined on 1/11/2014I took my husband here for his 40th birthday and we were very pleased. I explained ahead of time to staff over the phone that we were going to a formal event afterwards so we'd be VERY overdressed (evening gown and tux) and could we be seated somewhere discreet? They made a note of it and were incredibly sweet when we arrived, mentioning that they had instructions for our table. The food was delicious, if a bit of a mystery. My meal (cod dish) made it sound like I was getting cod and a fish soup, with some sort of crab cake. What I got was cod IN a shallow dish of fish soup, with little crab cake hush puppies. All of it was delicious, however. The table service was discreet and quite pleasant. Our only gripe was the extremely low lighting.Special Features:
- Comfortable and fundeldalDined on 1/10/2014Nice, unique interior adjacent to the performance space. Good bar. Good open party space upstairs. Menu is sort of southern. Variety of offerings and it changes throughout the year.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A Wonderful ExperiencePrettypatDined on 11/29/2013We had a large group, everything was ready for us upon arrival, the food and service were excellent and the ambience lovely. After dinner we wanted to take a look at the adjoining room featuring live entertainment, and were graciously accommodated. Our adult children, who were experiencing Helsinki for the first time, were quite dazzled, and they are not an easy group to please. We also attended a wedding here last summer that was quite impressive in terms of food, service and ambience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- HudsonJoandtimcVIPDined on 11/15/2013It was my first time dining in Hudson and I loved it! What a fantastic and interesting looking place. Everywhere I looked I was impressed with the details of the architecture and decor. I will certainly return and recommend it to everyone. I am on an Atkins diet, but was still able to enjoy a wonderful and delicious meal without the carbs. I am looking for a home in the area and this restaurant will certainly be one that I will visit often. Thank you for a great dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent! Leisurely ! Delicious!IntoRealFoodDined on 11/9/2013Wonderful nourishing food! Great personal and friendly service! Liked my flounder with oyster soup and flavorful crayfish and salad with black rice that had some interesting variety of healthy ingredients ! Squash pie for dessert was so good! A pot of tea! Everything was perfect! Pricey Cabernet was excellent! Now companion view was not as tolerant--likes faster service -thought the noise level too high--food was good but had one issue-not worth repeating! It is a great place to celebrate a special occasion. This was our first experience! We had a good time! We will do this again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Risotto was served moreOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/2/2013The Risotto was served more like a watery soup than anything else. One ingredient was supposed to be mushrooms, there was one morsel. The food has gone downhill, way downhill.Special Features:
- Hudson- late night entertainmentcupcakeDined on 10/26/2013I've been to this restaurant many times and the food is always yummy. The muscles come in a sauce infused with hot peppers which is always great. Also, if you like fried chicken this is the place for you. After dinner there is always a show to see which makes it an all night affair.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Hudson Scenealf2Dined on 10/26/2013Very solid dining spot. Nice and quite with widely spaced tables and good southern fare as well as creative new cuisine.Special Features:

Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook T4010C
Summary: The LifeBook T4010C is a well-specified convertible Tablet PC with a reassuringly solid feel and a high-quality display. It won't disturb you or your co-workers with fan noise either.
Editors' rating:
User rating:
- Solid design with plenty of accessible connectors
- high-quality display
- quiet
- Not particularly lightweight or compact
Tablet PCs have yet to take off in a big way, but that hasn't stopped some of the biggest names in computing developing the platform beyond its early iterations. Fujitsu Siemens is one such company, and its LifeBook T4010C shows off some of the best aspects of the tablet format.
The LifeBook T4010C uses the standard 'convertible' design for a Tablet PC, with a swivel hinge located in the centre of the display. Turn the screen around 180 degrees, lay it down flat, and the lid falls into its usual place, but with the screen outermost ready for pen-based input. The hinge is the only connection between the upper and lower halves of the system, and some manufacturers' early Tablet PCs suffered from instability here. However, Fujitsu Siemens has come up with a very solid design: you have to apply a more than accidental degree of force to swivel the lid the wrong way, and there's an ingenious locking mechanism that secures the lid in the screen-up position and helps the whole arrangement feel stable. One of the ways in which a Tablet PC can be used is held in the crook of the arm, allowing you to stand and prod at the screen with the stylus. We wouldn't want to do that for too long with the LifeBook T4010C as it weighs 2kg. This is not unduly heavy for a Tablet PC, though -- Toshiba's Portégé M200, which we looked at in June last year, also weighs a couple of kilos. The T4010C is reasonably large at 29.3cm wide by 24.4cm deep and 3.5 to 3.75cm high, but this does provide space for a superb keyboard with Fujitsu Siemens' usual good feel to it -- touch typing is perfectly feasible. The touchpad, twin keys and centrally positioned rocker for scrolling also presented no problems. The display is a 12.1in. XGA unit with the extra reflectivity common to Tablet PC screens because of the digitizer (for pen input). That aside, the display was excellent in quality. Its native resolution of 1,024 by 768 pixels delivered clear, crisp and bright images with an impressively wide viewing angle.
The LifeBook T4010 comes in several configurations. Our review model had a 1.8GHz Intel Pentium M 745 processor. The 885GME chipset with integrated graphics is also present, and our review configuration had 512MB of RAM. There's also a couple of variants with the 1.6GHz Pentium M 725. With a 60GB hard drive, our review model sat in the middle of a 40GB/60GB/80GB range. The system's modular bay housed a DVD/CD-RW combo drive in our review model, although a drive capable of reading and writing CDs and DVDs is also available; the bay can also be used for a spare battery or second hard drive if need be. Both Bluetooth and 802.11b/g are built in, and a wireless trilogy is completed by a fast infrared port. There are plenty of connectors spread around all edges of the casing. With the system in clamshell orientation, you'll find a PC Card slot, a FireWire connector and one of two USB 2.0 ports plus a wireless on/off switch on the left edge; at the back are the wired LAN, modem, VGA and second USB ports. The right edge houses the optical drive sits, while the front is home to the headphone and microphone jacks plus a combination Memory Stick and SD card slot. The LifeBook T4010C runs Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 with Service Pack 2. This latest incarnation has been through a number of tweaks and changes, the most notable being improved handwriting recognition. Fujitsu Siemens includes Corel Grafigo, a rather nice graphics application ideal for people who like to think visually or who need to sketch out image-based documents of any kind. It can export to a number of common graphics formats, and supports collaborative working via Microsoft NetMeeting. Nero6 is also provided along with Norton Ghost and F-Secure antivirus software.
Performance & battery life
With its 1.8GHz Pentium M processor and 512MB of DDR SDRAM, the T4010C should be able to handle mainstream business applications without a problem, although its integrated graphics rule out any serious after-hours gaming. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get the MobileMark 2002 benchmark suite to complete during the test period, so we don't have the figures that allow us to compare this system with its peers. This is no reflection on Fujitsu Siemens' hardware: MobileMark 2002 can be sensitive to other software installed on a test system. Fujitsu Siemens claims battery life of up to 4.5 hours for the T4010C, and this is broadly in line with our experience with similarly specified systems -- but again, we don't have MobileMark 2002 data to test this claim.
The Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook T4010, which comes with a three-year collect-and-return warranty, shows how far the hardware design of Tablet PCs has come. The screen's swivel mechanism is sturdy, the distribution of connectors around the case offers maximum flexibility, and the display is superb considering that it has to incorporate a digitizer for pen input. To cap it all, this notebook is also mercifully quiet in operation.

An Open Letter To Richard Sherman
Before I begin this letter to Richard for those of you who have not seen the latest in the "trash talking" controversies that Mr. Sherman has found himself in, I will include this video from the post game interview from last night's game.
Here goes......
Dear Richard,
I should preface this letter by telling you that I am in total awe of not only your skills and talent on the field but also of your achievements in education and charity. I know like me, you come from a place of very little means and even less promise of a bright future. I know that making a commitment as a child to rise above circumstance through hard work and perseverance takes a kind of bravery and yes, bravado that most people will never understand.

Chris Tompkins and Rodney Clawson, the writers behind Florida Georgia Line's latest smash "Dirt," recently talked to Billboard magazine about how the song started. Or where it started — in Tompkins' hometown in Alabama.
"My hometown is pretty much an oak tree, a volunteer fire department and a high school football team," Tompkins said. "Oh, and a funeral home." So those opening lines like "You get your hands in it/Plant your roots in it" came from him.
Then Clawson said he wanted to add something about commitment, a concept so many country songs are missing these days.

We disagree. In the past two years, we've posted 26 snapshots taken on airplanes to Instagram, and here's a slideshow of every single one:
Snaps on a Plane
Some people say, "Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking snapshots on this motherfucking plane!"
We disagree. In the past two years, we've posted 26 snapshots taken on airplanes to Instagram, and here's a slideshow of every single one:
What do you think? Are the in-flight photos as bad as the movie? Worse?
A Solution
The Pacific is wonderful and clean compared to many parts of the gulf, but the water temperature can come as a shock. For example, the water temperature around Galveston, Texas peaks at around 85F in the summer and falls to 65F in the winter. The water in Half Moon Bay tops out around 60 degrees in August, which is pretty darn cold. If you're not a hardy marine mammal (or Caiti), a wetsuit is a necessity.
Baker Beach
There's something kind of underwhelming about a clothing-optional beach in a city that is more-or-less clothing optional, but that's what Baker Beach in San Francisco is.
It's in San Francisco, so of course it tends toward foggy and chilly. The day we went was around 65 degrees, windy, and the sun was periodically peeking through the fog. The sand itself was warm enough to make laying on a towel fairly comfortable, but once you sat up and the wind hit you it was pretty cold.
Despite the weather, there were quite a few people at the beach on a Saturday afternoon. Some were tourists who were obviously startled to find nude sunbathers (fogbathers?) hanging out along the cliff, but others were swimsuit-wearing and fully clothed locals who were there to enjoy the beach.
There were about a half dozen nude beach-goers, all male, when we arrived. When we left there were about a dozen, including one m/f couple. We don't know yet if nude beaches are mostly a male pastime here, or if that was a function of this particular beach.
We laid on the sand for a while, put our feet in the water, and gave up. It was just too darn cold to swim, nude or otherwise!
Pigeon Point Light Station
The lighthouse at Pigeon Point is your basic lighthouse, but there is a very nice exhibit with a Fresnel lens, which has over a thousand prisms and is 12 feet tall. There's also a hostel with three bunkhouses named after marine mammals (so cute), a reservable hot tub, and a nice beach.
You can find out more about the hostel at their webpage, and more about the State Historic Park on their page.
Wide Open Space...s
In Texas there are just a few basic kinds of parks, but we've noticed that California has lots more. One of the types is called the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, which is a greenbelt system like no other. It consists of 26 individual preserves covering 62,000 acres of wetlands, hills, forests, mountains, and other habitat.
Each preserve has different rules about bikes, horses, dogs, camping, and other access. Some are periodically closed to the public for ecological reasons, but almost all are open to day use year-round. Best of all, they're FREE!
This is the Sierra Azul ("blue mountains") Open Space Preserve southwest of San Jose, which has nice hiking trails, plenty of wildflowers, and abundant sunshine.
Cute Newt
Look at this face. Does he look deadly?
Well, he is. Newts like this Taricha torosa secrete a neurotoxin on their skin that's strong enough to kill an adult. We know this because every few years some idiot gets drunk and swallows or licks one on a dare, and about half of the time he becomes a candidate for a Darwin Award.
Handling them with bare hands is perfectly safe, provided they don't come in contact with broken skin and you wash your hands afterwards. Just don't give them a kiss, no matter how cute they may seem.
Banana slugs are both fascinating and a little gross. For starters, they're commonly more than six inches long, and covered in a thick slime. If you get curious and pick one up, it's nearly impossible to de-slime your hands without soap and water.
This one was going about its slimy business at Heritage Grove near La Honda, CA. It didn't seem perturbed by our presence, even when we got down on eye level to take a slug selfie, though it did briefly pull its eyes in before continuing to creep along.
When hiking in the forest during wet periods, it's important to watch out for your slimy, yellow friends. They can easily be stepped on when crossing trails. During dry times, they can usually be spotted alongside creeks.
San Gregorio State Beach
San Gregorio State Beach is on California's famous Highway 1 near Half Moon Bay. The day we went, it was cloudy and foggy, as that area often is. It was also chilly, around 55 degrees at mid-afternoon.
This beach has a nice expanse of surf, as well as a driftwood lagoon. Previous visitors had built a truly impressive array of structures from the driftwood, some of which would be excellent shade on a sunny day.
There's also a small area with picnic tables and grills, a convenient parking lot, and toilet (no running water).
Choosing our own Adventure
After a lot of careful consideration and visits to both coasts, we've made a decision about our next adventure. Like Wallace Stegner said:
"It is not an unusual life curve for Westerners - to live in and be shaped by the bigness, sparseness, space clarity & hopefulness of the West, to go away for study and enlargement and the perspective that distance and dissatisfaction can give, and then to return to what pleases the sight and enlists the loyalty and demands the commitment."
We're going west, to northern California. The move will happen sometime this spring, and starting this summer we'll be posting a lot more California and a lot less Texas.
We hope you'll continue to join us for adventures.

It was a memorable St. Patrick's Day in the Heartland as Boys Town founder, Father Edward Flanagan, was named a Servant of God.
The title was officially given on Saturday morning by the Omaha Archdiocese and is the first in several steps toward sainthood.
Father Flanagan's Great-Great-Niece, Katie was there to celebrate the announcement.
"It's a once in a lifetime opportiunity and we're just very excited."
Father Flanagan dedicated his life to helping orphans and troubled teens at Boys Town. Under his direction, what was first an orphanage grew to be a large learning community for young men no matter what their background.
Linda Carney attends daily mass at Boys Town and says she's happy to see the priest represent the Midwest.
"The canonization of Father Flanagan is just affirmation that the Catholic Church is alive and doing good for others," says Carney.
As a Servant of God, church officials will conduct an investigation into Father Flanagan's life, a secret process that usually takes years.
Then to be declared a Saint, there must be two miracles associated with Father Flanagan that have been performed since his death. He died in 1948.
Steven Wolf, President of the Father Flanagan League Society of Devotion says Father Flanagan's life serves as a model for our own.
"I think studying him is going to help us be better people," says Wolf.
"Being better citizens in our community, better to reaching out to people in front of us, and helping to try and see the face of Christ in every person we encounter."
Katie Flanagan is hoping her Great-Great-Uncle's new title can help Omaha in more ways than one.
"We want everyone to pray to Father Flanagan for miracles, such as Creighton taking the tournament," she laughs.

My main is a fairly accomplished prot paladin, I have an understanding of game and stat mechanics and I have a very good idea how im going to gear my warrior at 80, but this isnt the issue.
Currently it is level 11, Im leveling as prot, so I can tank in quests and randoms for my friend, (she rolled a warlock)
I have never played a warrior before and have absolutely zero idea on how to play it properly. By the time it reaches 80 I will have dedicated alot of time into learning warrior end game mechanics and theorycraft, but.. well every guide i can find is dedicated to end game.
Does anybody have any advice on how to play a prot warrior while leveling? I dont know much about rage, or which ability to use and when, especially for when i start tanking, id rather start off knowing asmuch as possible, and not be one of those lowbie alts that facerolls and hopes for the best
any advice is appreciated

- Abstract
- Five strains of halophilic, Gram-negative marine bacteria (KMM 3809T, KMM 3814, KMM 3815, KMM 3817 and KMM 3818) were isolated from sediments collected from Chazhma Bay, Sea of Japan. Phylogenetic 16S rRNA gene sequence-based analysis placed these bacteria in a clade within the genus Marinobacter in the {gamma}-Proteobacteria. KMM 3809T showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 97·3 % to Marinobacter litoralis and 96·9 % to Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus and Marinobacter aquaeolei. DNA–DNA hybridization between the five isolates was at the conspecific level (94–96 %) and that among the closest phylogenetic neighbours ranged from 45·0 to 62·5 %. The new organisms were susceptible to polymyxin. Predominant fatty acids were C16 : 0, C16 : 1{omega}9c, C16 : 1{omega}7c and C18 : 1{omega}9c. Phylogenetic evidence, along with phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, showed that the bacteria constituted a novel species of the genus Marinobacter. The name Marinobacter excellens sp. nov. is proposed for this species, with the type strain KMM 3809T (=CIP 107686T).

Daniel Lyons
Writer for HBO's Silicon Valley, Marketing Fellow at Hubspot
Daniel Lyons? Email us Give Us a Call
Dan Lyons had a great run as a technology journalist, serving as the Technology Editor of Newsweek, a technology columnist at Forbes, and Editor-in-Chief of ReadWrite, one of the world's top tech news sites. But while writing his Fake Steve blog he started to see that media was entering a new world where old boundaries were fading away, and where traditional companies would not be able to survive.
Can you imagine what it's like to be the tech writer at a place like Newsweek, cheering on the new technologies that are destroying the company that pays your salary? Awkward doesn't begin to describe it. The good news, however, was that even as newspapers and magazines crumble, a new form of media business has been rising from the ashes, as companies across every industry (Nissan, Intel, Microsoft) are building their own news organizations. Journalists, ironically, are in more demand than ever before—just not at newspapers!
In 2013, Lyons joined the revolution by taking a role at HubSpot, a software company in Cambridge that is leading the shift toward company-generated media. As a Marketing Fellow at HubSpot, Lyons is writing and speaking about the massive disruption that is taking place in the media business, and how this disruption is reshaping the world of marketing, advertising and brand evangelism. "The rise of mobile devices, wearable computing and social software platforms is creating a new mass medium, one that will displace television as the dominant medium of our age," Lyons says. "Everything is being reinvented. We're creating new forms of journalism, new forms of entertainment, new ways for brands to connect with consumers."
Dan is an expert on consumer tech (Apple, Google, social media, mobile computing) as well as esoteric topics like fusion energy and supercomputers. He is fascinated by artificial intelligence, robotics and the Singularity movement. He was featured in recent Discovery Channel documentary about the Singularity, and has appeared as a guest on CNBC, MSNBC, CNN, BBC, Bloomberg TV, Fox Business News and National Public Radio.
In addition to his work as a journalist, Lyons has published three works of fiction and dabbled in screenwriting for television. He is a writer for season two of HBO's hit show Silicon Valley, a satirical comedy about the tech industry. His book, Options: The Secret Life of Steve Jobs, a sharp send-up of Silicon Valley, published in 2007 to critical acclaim. His previous books are Dog Days (a novel) and The Last Good Man (short stories). As a fiction writer Dan has been the recipient of both a prestigious National Endowment for the Arts Literary Fellowship and the somewhat notorious Playboy College Fiction Prize. He also was named one of the "Fabulous 52″ in the 1996 Best Young American Novelists competition sponsored by Granta.
Content Marketing: Do's and Don'ts
Content marketing is hot. From GE to Google, from Maersk to Microsoft, across every industry companies are building media operations and creating some incredibly sophisticated original content—blogs, video, podcasts, and multimedia packages that put the mainstream to shame. In this engaging and instructive talk, Dan Lyons—a veteran journalist (Forbes, Newsweek) turned content marketer—explains how you can use content marketing to boost your brand and generate leads. Better yet, it can save you money. But how do you build a media operation? What are the pitfalls, and how can you avoid them? What are the do's and don'ts? Lyons draws on examples from GE, Microsoft, Google, and HubSpot, a software company that has been an innovator in content marketing and where Dan is a "marketing fellow," helping guide HubSpot's content strategy.
Comedy by Committee: Lessons in Collaboration From the World of TV Writing
Creativity and collaboration are key to your company's success. But how do you create an environment where people can work in groups and build consensus to create new products and ideas? What does a creative, collaborative culture look like? In this talk, Dan Lyons, a writer on HBO's hit comedy series Silicon Valley, shows how companies can learn from the world of TV comedy.
TV writers work in big teams of 10 or more people. They work on tight deadlines, and they iterate constantly, rewriting and rethinking episodes dozens of times. Hollywood writers have developed an effective brainstorming system, and have figured out things like this: How do you make people feel comfortable and confident, so that they'll participate? How do you deal with writer's block? How do you create groups that are less intimidating and more productive?
Over the course of an eclectic career, Lyons has been a journalist, a marketing executive, a novelist, a university creative writing professor, and a blogger. He's a lively, funny speaker, as you might expect from someone who makes a living writing comedy. Be warned: a few brave souls might get called up to do some improv on stage, but no audience members will be harmed! The goal is to have a good time, and take away real-world lessons that your organization can start using right away.
How Smart Companies Adapt to Constant Connection in the Age of Google Glasses
Can you imagine being surrounded by intelligent sensors and interacting with them as easily as you talk with the people around you? Can you imagine being connected to the Internet so intimately and so constantly that you become part of it? Can you imagine glasses that connect you to a supercomputer and augment your intelligence so profoundly that you won't want to live without them? This world is just around the corner, and the Internet itself is going through a massive evolutionary leap into what author and technology expert Dan Lyons calls "the immersive Internet." It's a world where voice commands and gestures replace keyboards, where wearable computers and the "Internet of things" embed intelligence into everything around us, giving us profound new power to control our environment. In this thought-provoking talk, Lyons describes the emerging products in this space (Leap Motion's 3D controller, Google's Project Glass, Nest's "learning thermostat," the nascent "no user interface" movement, voice technology from Apple, Google and Nuance) and explores implications both profound and practical. Will all this technology change what it means to be human? Will it widen the "digital divide" between technology haves and have-nots? How will companies market to consumers who are empowered with so much information and computing power? How will we "sell to cyborgs"? This dazzling view of the future will leave your audience informed, inspired -- and maybe a little bit freaked out.
What Would Steve Do: The 8 Simple Secrets to Apple's Success
Over the past 15 years Apple has gone from being nearly bankrupt to being the biggest company in the world, with a market value exceeding half a trillion dollars. How did they do it? Dan Lyons, author of the critically acclaimed book, Options: The Secret Life of Steve Jobs, and one of the world's top experts on all things Apple, explains the simple principles that enabled Steve Jobs to lead Apple through the most amazing comeback in corporate history. In this talk, Lyons tells an engaging tale that captures the spirit of Steve Jobs and leaves his audience with eight rules that can be applied in any organization or industry. Why did Steve Jobs shun focus groups and trust its own taste instead? How does Apple evoke such strong responses from its fans and get thousands of people to line up outside Apple stores, turning each new product release into a kind of cultural event? Who was the little-known mentor who guided Steve Jobs in the early years of Apple and created the three words that have guided Apple's marketing philosophy since its origins? Why does Apple dare to take risks while its competitors play it safe? How is that other companies sell products, while Apple sells an experience? What drove Steve Jobs to be such a fanatical perfectionist? Lyons spent five years writing the world's most popular Apple-centric blog, "The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs," and hopes that the legacy of Steve Jobs will inspire a new generation of innovators and risk-takers who will dare to "think different."
The Social-Mobile Revolution: The New Platform That Is Changing the Way We Work, Play, Make Friends and Do Business
By 2013 there will be 1 billion smartphones on the planet, and by the end of this decade that number may soar to 5 billion. What happens when almost everyone on the planet is constantly connected to the Internet, and to each other, via social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Google+? What's being created is a new mass medium that changes virtually everything about our society. This new platform, with its ubiquitous, constant, peer-to-peer connections, is disrupting established industries, forcing us to rethink the definition of friendship and privacy, and utterly reinventing the way we entertain ourselves. Games like Farmville and Mafia Wars may be inane but people are devoting huge amounts of time and spending billions of dollars playing them. Apps like Foursquare are turning life itself into a kind of real-time video game. Sites like YouTube and Facebook have become performance spaces, almost a new kind of TV where everyone can be part of the show. In this entertaining and insightful talk, Dan Lyons explores the profound social implications and huge opportunities created by this new medium, and wonders, Are we ready for this?
Zuckerberg's Panopticon: The Rise of the Social Internet and the End of Privacy
In the 1790s, British philosopher Jeremy Bentham devised a new kind of prison, called a panopticon. The panopticon consisted of a round building with a central watchtower, with a viewing mechanism that enabled any prisoner to be watched at any time, without his knowledge.The idea was that prisoners would never know when they were being watched and so would have to assume they were being watched at all times. Thus they would behave themselves, and a large prison population could be controlled with very few guards. In some ways this is what the Internet is now becoming. The only way to be a member of Facebook, for example, is to sacrifice all of your privacy and to assume that everything you do is being watched, somewhere, by someone. We are living in Mark Zuckerberg's digital panopticon. And it's not just Facebook. An entire multibillion-dollar industry is being built around targeted advertising and a business model in which service providers make money by gathering and reselling personal information about users. Of course we all have the option of simply getting off the Internet. But few people will take that route. Instead, we'll stay online, and most of us will slowly adapt to a new reality. In a remarkably short period of time, our entire notion of privacy will be radically transformed. What are the implications, both positive and negative, of living in a world like this? How do we deal with a world in which our personal information has been turned into a form of currency, and used to pay for online services? How do we know how much we're actually paying, and whether we're getting a good deal? Dan Lyons, a lively and engaging speaker, offers an insightful take on the grand bargain we are making as we enter the age of the social Internet.
Options: The Secret Life of Steve Jobs - A Parody
Welcome to the mind, to the world of Fake Steve Jobs.
Fake Steve the counterintuitive management guru: "Obviously we can't literally put our employees' lives at risk. But we have to make them feel that way."
Fake Steve the political hobnobber: "I can see why they keep Nancy Pelosi under wraps. Wacky as a dime watch."
Fake Steve quoting friend/musician/philosopher Bono on road etiquette: "Tink about dat next toim yer cuttin off some bloke and you don't know who it is, right? Could be Jay-sus. Or Boutros Boutros-Ghali or sumfin."
And Fake Steve on, yes, himself: "Geniuses have feelings, too."
In the tradition of Thank You for Smoking and in the spirit of The Onion, Options is a novelistic sendup and takedown of Silicon Valley, Hollywood, and Washington, D.C., as viewed by a central character who exists, to his immense self-satisfaction, at the crossroads of all three worlds: "It's like in one of those movies where a guy realizes he's got telekinetic powers and it's just too bad if he doesn't want them, he's got them. Likewise, I have this gift. It's who I am."

Fantasy Cycling: Amstel Gold Race round-up
"A difficult day for scoring" would be a massive understatement
Previous News
Next News
Well, no-one predicted that. Actually, not quite no-one: 29 of you out there had Gasparotto in your squad. That's 29 out of 3,282 teams. A massive 75 picked Jelle Vanendert. Voeckler wasn't popular either. 'Out of form' Philippe Gilbert was a bit more fancied, but still only about ten percent of players picked him, the same as Oscar Freire.
That meant one thing: low scores. Tony and Oli topped the office scoring with a mighty 26. Dave got a solitary one for 20th-placed Gerrans. The man responsible for bringing you the previews and tips for the Amstel Gold Race, Simon MacMichael, didn't trouble the scorers at all. And he wasn't the only one, not by a long stretch.
It's not all doom and gloom though. road ronin NG5 managed to rack up 113 points from Gasparotto, Sagan, Giblert and Iglinsky. That was enough for top of the table, easily in fact: second-placed Accident prone managed just 99, two ahead of Team Valle in third. They won't be muscling in to the season-long high score league with those numbers, but fair play for making the best of a difficult day.
At the top of the Spring Classics table scores of 31 and 36 were enough to catapult Threeleggedtoad and TEAM JAMESWEBB79 into a share of first place, at the expense of Pangbourne Pedallers who scored just one point and dropped to sixth. it's still extremely tight at the top, with just 14 points separating the top ten.
In the purist league a single point for Gerrans was enough to keep Pukey Otter at the top of the standings for now, although Chicken Dinner are making a charge for the lead, amassing 70 points and jumping six places for a share of second with Chippy's Ciclistas.
Next up is the Fleche Wallone, which is on Wednesday ahead of the Liege-Bastogne-Liege on Sunday to wrap up the Spring Classics season. And then we're off to Italy for the first of our three Grand Tours: it's less than three weeks to the start of the Giro d'Italia now. Here's hoping we've all learned something from the early season races!
My measely 30 for bridesmaid Sagan is starting to look better.. My nostalgia for Rabobank and the days of Tony Rominger are being sorely tested by Bram and Lars so far this season. Boom went the tank again...
Silly me. You're probably right....

Nice wrap up. Thanks! Ok, how about one more stat? How many teams, if any, had both Gasparotto and Vanendert on their squad? Thanks!

Potions are selling extraordinarily well for me. I don't mean flasks, I mean gold ol' Runic Healing and Mana potions. Obviously this is due to ulduar's challenging nature but who am I to complain.
I rarely ever stockpiled these items so I decided to start yesterday. Probably made 20 gold per stack selling the potions (that's after deducting the cost of mats) and I see the prices only going up. This weekend I'll be sure to snipe any underpriced ones and relist them on tuesday night for raids.
My potions all sold within an hour's time late at night while I was raiding. That just tells me that people were getting ready to raid and grabbing pots off the ah.
If you are an alchemist and aren't buying the mats to make these potions and selling them... what are you waiting for?

As an eng this is one of my main ways of making gold. Buy up cheap pots and convert them suing the potion injectors, a stack of twenty sells for over a hundred gold. And they sell really quick.
Anonymous said... April 25, 2009 at 9:30 AM
Twenty gold a stack?
Even subtracting materials cost that's cheap compared to my server.
I can sell a runic mana for ten gold, just a single one, and a runic health for seven.
It's how I started making gold after I (finally) got an Auctioneer style program. I'd just been vendoring them up until then, until I moused over one in my bag and saw how much I could sell it for.

Pots have been selling well on my server also. Is it worth to switch from elixir to a potion master to take advantage of this?
Sparks said... April 25, 2009 at 4:12 PM
You should take a look at what potions and elixirs are selling well. If health potions (and especially mana potions) are doing good, then flasks should be good too. Lil' Sparky's workshop (no relation) does a great job on helping you determine which production items are sold at a profit.

MANITOWOC, Wis. (AP) -- Authorities say two people have died and five were injured in a two-vehicle accident early Sunday in eastern Wisconsin.
Manitowoc Police Capt. Jerry Zimney told WOMT-AM that one vehicle apparently ran a stop sign and t-boned the other vehicle.
Zimney said two of the three men in one car died, and the third was airlifted. Four people were in the other car and all were taken to local hospitals.
Zimney said alcohol and speed are factors in the crash, which happened around 2:45 a.m. Sunday.

At the start of the season, the Arizona Cardinals loved what they had at running back.
With Beanie Wells and Ryan Williams in the backfield, the Cardinals were hopeful a strong rushing attack would take pressure off the passing game.
Instead, the two have spent more time on the injured list than the field.
Now after spending the last seven games on the sidelines with a toe injury, Wells is finally returning to action this week against the St. Louis Rams.
"We are going to activate Beanie this week and I expect him to play barring something happen," Whisenhunt said.
Whisenhunt thinks that Wells's return will help jumpstart the Cardinals' struggling offense.
"I sure don't anticipate it hurting. He is a 1,000 yard running back in the NFL. He is a big guy and looks good physically in practice," Whisenhunt said. "You like to think that it can help us."
Wells said that he has been practicing for two weeks now and saw a lot of action on the scout team last week against the starting defense.
"Nothing you do can simulate the game and the physically of a football game, [but] I feel like I can run all day right now," Wells said.
Last week, LaRod Stephens-Howling delivered the best performance by a Cardinals running back this season, rushing for 127 yards and a touchdown.
"He is a real shifty guy, as you see, he can take it 50, 60 yards at any given time," Wells said. "I can come here and be that power guy and wear the defenses out for him."
Just because Wells has missed so much time this season, the Ohio State alum doesn't think that he is going to be the least bit rusty or limited coming off an injury.
"I have been playing football since I was six years old. I don't think I will forget how to play at all," Wells said. "The speed is what it is, football is football no matter where you are playing it at."
