1. Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a stabbing on East 17th Street, a pedestrian struck by auto in Borough Park, and a police-involved shooting in East Flatbush.
2. A "greedy fisherman" faces up to four years in the clink for lifting "872 pounds of striped bass, 32 pounds of fluke and numerous crabs" out of the heavily contaminated waters off the coast of Rockaway Beach in Queens.
3. Attention local gourmands: an upscale French bistro has opened inside the Port Authority Bus Station. Yes, that's what we said.
4. Is it that smart to open the City's new emergency command center directly under the Brooklyn Bridge? After all-- the last one got destroyed in the WTC attacks, and isn't the Brooklyn Bridge another likely target? Wouldn't a better spot be somewhere more non-descript, like the Navy Yard?

6. Conan O'Brien's Horny Manatee site is one of the most disturbing parodies we've ever seen. No, seriously, it is.
7. Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn has put together a list of "The Park Slope 100": "a highly opinionated, inherently flawed, subjective list of talented, energetic, ambitious, creative individuals with vision in the Greater Park Slope area who reach outward toward the larger community and the world to lead, to help, to create, to teach, to improve, to inform, to network, to create change."
8. Good news for Ban Ki Moon, the incoming secretary general of the United Nations: he'll be moving into a newly renovated four-story Sutton Place mansion, complete with a brand-spanking new $200,000 kitchen!
9. Cops shoot an armed robbery suspect - it's the first police gun fired since the Queens shooting
10. The Taco Bell e. coli outbreak may have started with a contaminated batch of green onions. That's why we never, ever, eat vegetables.
