Nicholas David "Nick" Coleman (February 23, 1925 – March 5, 1981) was a Minnesota politician and a former member and majority leader of the Minnesota Senate. A Democrat, he was first elected in 1962 and reelected in 1966, 1970, 1972, and 1976. He represented the old districts 45, 46, and 65, which changed through the years due to legislative redistricting, and included portions of the city of Saint Paul in Ramsey County.
Born in Saint Paul, Coleman served as a Signalman 2nd Class in the United States Navy during World War II. He entered politics as a volunteer for the 1948 congressional campaign of Eugene McCarthy, then a professor at the College of St. Thomas (now the University of St. Thomas), where Coleman was a student. He was later Minnesota chair for the 1964 presidential campaign of Lyndon Johnson.
While in the Senate, Coleman served as an assistant minority leader from 1967 to 1970, as minority leader during the 1971–1972 biennium, and as the first Democrat in 114 years to become majority leader—a position he held from 1973 until leaving the Senate in 1981. The Democrats have held the majority in that chamber of the Minnesota Legislature until January, 2011. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the DFL Party's endorsement for governor in 1970, and for the U.S. Senate in 1978.
Nicholas J. (Nick) Coleman (born June 26, 1950 in Saint Paul, Minnesota) is a blogger and former Minnesota journalist and columnist for the Star Tribune, the daily newspaper published in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Coleman had two stints at the Star Tribune, having begun his career there in 1973 before becoming a news columnist at the St. Paul Pioneer Press in 1986. He returned to the Star Tribune in 2003 as a Metro News columnist, staying until 2009.
In his 35-year newspaper career, Coleman reported on Minneapolis city government, business, out-of-state issues, media, and general news. He has had published more than 3,000 newspaper columns and 300 television commentaries. Politics, Native American issues and the Northern Ireland peace process are his favored themes. He has also hosted two radio talk shows.
While noted as a prolific regional journalist, Coleman is probably as well known for his difficult personality. He has engaged in rhetorical feuds with other Twin Cities writers and bloggers, and others who publicly critique his work. In 2004 Coleman criticized the role of local Power Line bloggers in the Dan Rather/Killian documents controversy. An exchange ensued for some weeks in local print and on the internet. The spats he initiated with local writer Steve Marsh and New York University Professor Jay Rosen spilled out onto the internet as well. In 2005 he was briefly a morning host at Air America Radio’s affiliate in the Twin Cities. His engagement at Air America ended after a feud with management, with Coleman unsatisfied with the centrist positioning of the station by its owner, Janet Roberts.

"Security is such an intrinsic part of any service that a sound provider will bundle it into its services, which makes it more affordable. The useful thing about buying firewalls, or any security service, as part of a managed service is that it will not only be kept fully operational, but will also be monitored."
"It's not unlike driving a car. First there were seatbelts, then airbags, and then traffic sensors came along."
