New Year's Baby Derby update: According to the Daily News, "The 7 pound 3 ounce daughter of a Brooklyn couple made her debut just as the clock ticked 2011, making her a favorite for the title of New York's First Baby of the Year." The nursing supervisor said, "As the ball dropped, the baby came out." The baby girl's father said that the tot arrived two days early, therefore she's nameless, "She's a New Year's princess. Right now we're calling her the New Year baby. We'll have to think of something non-traditional because of the special time she was born." A slight riff on George Costanza—how about Eleven (like Messier)?
