Full MSRP pricing (base, options, packages) has been released for the 2012 650i Convertible (F12). The 650i will start at $90,500. See inside for the full list of options and package pricing.
Although the new 6-series coupe has already been spotted completely sans camouflage we continue to get prototype glimpses at various colors and configurations.
Just spotted is the new Coupe in Alpine White, with standard body trim, ie. no M-Sport in both 650i and 640i/640d. The model range topping 650i is identified by its dual square exhaust tips and large 19 or 20″ alloy wheels. The 640i or 640d features smaller dual split round tip exhausts and is seen with non-production testing wheels. The 650i shows off the … CONTINUED
Although we have already seen a completely uncovered production 6-series coupe, these spy photos confirm that the upcoming production 2012 6-series coupe will feature a glass panoramic roof! A beautiful glass panoramic roof has been featured on the 6-series concept car, but these photos confirm that the glass greenhouse will indeed make it to production. The production glass top, however, appears to only extend back until the B-pillar and does not encompass the entire roof as seen on the concept coupe.
Having been inside the concept coupe, … CONTINUED
If you're a fan of the new 6-series convertible, this 25+ min. of stock video footage should be a treat. The video features the 650i convertible on location in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa. The clip features driving scenes, exterior design, engine, and interior design segments.
Insideline comes in with their favorable first drive review of the 2012 650i convertible, which they felt had explosive straight-line acceleration with a surprising amount of feedback and an inherent balance which makes it feel alive and responsive to every movement of the wheel. The 650i's agility was also very impressive. Read the rest of this positive review inside.
BMW has released images and some details on the BMW Individual program/options for the all new 2011 6-series convertible. See images and details inside.
Car and Driver has posted its first drive review of the 2011 650i convertible, and the first hands-on drive review we have seen. We won't spoil this first review for you, so check inside for C&D's reaction to BMW's all new top of the line convertible.
WHAT CAR? Magazine has gotten some alone time with a stunning new 640i SE Cabriolet and brought along some readers to get their opinions on the new vehicle and at the same time offer some stunning visual shots of the car in HD video. Worth the watch!
Yesterday, BMW kicked off the international press event for the new 6-Series Cabrio (F12) in South Africa. These press days aren't meant to introduce any new facts and figures (we've already extensively covered the car in all its gory detail here), but rather gives members of the press some hands on time with the car in order to go back home and write their first drive reviews. BMW did however release a set of new pictures that we thought should be shared.
Ive attached a gallery below … CONTINUED
Here it is, the 6-Series coupe completly uncovered. I know I know, we've just posted pictures of a lightly camouflaged Alpine White coupe only an hour ago, but this literally just came across my desk. It has no camo on it whatsoever so it was worth sharing IMO.
This particular 6-Series seems to wear Space Gray paint and is probably a 640i, given the rounded exhaust tips and smallish wheels (not clear if those will be the stock wheels or if we are looking at winter … CONTINUED
It seems like its all 6, all the time, recently doesn't in? Its true, we've been showing alot of 6-Series pictures recently, but thats because BMW has been kind enough to parade around its new big coupe in a few different colors and trims. To recap, the coupe was recently spotted in Vermillion Red and Deep Sea Blue.
Now what we have before us is the new Coupe in Alpine White, with standard body trim, ie. no M-Sport. This appears to be the top of the class … CONTINUED
The 6-series testing appears to be on a roll lately. Only yesterday we brought you the latest set of spyshots showing the F13 6-series Coupe almost fully unmasked. Following here is what appears to be the first look at the 6-series coupe with M-Sport package, courtesy of spyshots.nl. BMW did a pretty good job at masking the M-Sport front and rear bumpers. A closer look however reveals the more protruding/curved front bumper, bespoke M-Sport side skirts, and a different rear bumper. Don't be upset about the … CONTINUED

Today's video has been postponed until tomorrow....mostly due to having to transcode every video taken on Russ' camera. Grrr
but stay tuned for some interviews and demos from some big names
A fairly busy morning catching up with people, a few launch events, a few new goodies to have a look at and some free pizza at the EduGeek Technical Help Point.
I popped by the Stone Computers stand and caught up with folk, and had a really nice look at their all in one solution (pictures to follow). I was impressed by the design and functionality of it, and it was small things like a full size optical drive (cheaper to replace if damaged), the monitor is on a VESA mounting plate and can be removed by one screw if needed, the monitor is of your choice (this one had a 19" wide screen that had touch screen functionality) and the innards was designed to be engineer friendly. I'm checking prices and spec but it looks to come out at £570 ... but more details later.
Synetrix did not open their stand until 11.30 as they launched their new learning platform. Previously their solutions have been tied in with the schools / LAs they work with as learning grids (the exception is MoodleDo from I2Q), but now they have a solution available to all schools. I've watched what they have been developing over the last year and was intrigued by some of it ... well worth a look at if you are looking at your options.
The Microsoft stand was busy as always and I didn't get chance to catch up with everyone I wanted. This week they have folk from Twynham College and Lodge Park Technology College talking about Sharepoint and Live@Edu respectively ... and don't forget to go and heckle Alex Pearce!!!
It was also good to see the wide variety of people at the Open Source Cafe. A wealth of ideas and contacts there if you are looking for anything open source.
Lots of netbooks about too ... the Intel stand is full of them, including touch screen devices.
And lots of 3D too. It is quite funny how the change in cinema is also having an effect so quickly at BETT. I know some of these suppliers and manufacturers have been going on about how good it can be but there are now a variety of resources to go with it. No longer a white elephant possibly?
Well, lots more to see ... and all those press packs to go through later too.
3G access is pants so not been able to tweet at all ... might have to go and hide in the press lounge for a bit for decent Wi-Fi.
Photos and videos to follow.
Today's video has been postponed until tomorrow....mostly due to having to transcode every video taken on Russ' camera. Grrr
but stay tuned for some interviews and demos from some big names
Hi I agree about the stone looks good.
So, is this Openhive VLE from Synetrix in effect now property of the all conquering Capita?
Interesting development..
Too busy speaking on the Open Source Café stand when the last chance to heckle came up. Maybe next year!

Reborn Triumph's 900 Trident was about as straightforward a bike as Hinckley could produce, and also happened to be one of the best of the early machines. The three-cylinder motor was distinctive, flexible and robust, the handling, though tall, better than the average roadster and it was comfortable, attractive enough and versatile, too. No wonder the Triumph Trident lived longer ...
885cc, 70bhp, 120mph, Insurance group 13
The Triumph Adventurer, a cruiser style version of the Thunderbird, adds dollop of crass to already glittery, faux concoction. It's an OK motorcycle, thanks mostly to the stupendous Triumph triple engine, but the Triumph Adventurer is about as cool and stylish as purple velvet loon pants. Oh, did someone say they're back in?
885cc, 70bhp, 125mph, Insurance group 13
Surprisingly cool, versatile and fun retro – indeed one of the first. Triumph Thunderbird 900 took the pleasing and fruity Triumph Trident and refashioned it into an althogether more stylish package. There's handling, comfort and decent poke inside those cream and chrome walls, while cred is guaranteed by the name on the tank. Nice.
The Triumph Legend TT is a slightly more basic, cheaper version of the Triumph Thunderbird which rides fine – slightly better even, truth be told – but only looks good to those who wear sunglasses indoors. Which, in our book, defeats half the point. Unless you love the Triumph Legend TT's black engine etc, we recommend you go for a ...

The Triumph America is a cruiser with real cred – it harks back to the Thunderbird and other Triumphs modified in the States in the 60s and 70s. This means the Triumph America's not regarded as a Harley clone or copy like so many Japanese cruisers. It's a competent motorcycle too. It's not particularly rapid or sporty but the Triumph ...

The Harley-Davidson XL883 Sportster is a basic, budget way into Harley ownership: that possession prized by anyone whose idea of heaven is a long, straight, American highway and for whom Peter Fonda remains the ultimate role model. The Harley-Davidson XL883 Sportster is not the greatest cruiser in the world: it lacks power and performance in virtually every area, but it ...
897cc, 74bhp, 139mph, Insurance group 13
The Yamaha TDM900 is a streetbiking oddball that's as brilliant beating congestion as it is swinging bends. The parallel twin motor is spunky enough for fun, while the wide bars really let you take charge and hustle. It's such an easy motorcycle to ride you could do it with your eyes shut.

NZ interloper to commercialise UK internet blocking
Arguments over just how successful government attempts have been in keeping child porn off the internet may be little more than a storm in a teacup – but such discussions highlight a shift in the way indecent material may be blocked in future. The story begins with a shocking claim from internet filtering company, Watchdog …
Welcome to Australia
Since we're about to get a Tory government in the UK, we make as well be used to emotionally adolescant, bullying, patriarchal idiots deciding what you can see hear, and think, in the style of the frankly rather unpleasant Australian govt.
While I feel sorry for the poor Aussies for what they are landed with, I have no particular urge to show solidarity with them that way.
However, not to worry- media in the UK will be showing less that's going to upset or challenge the govt. in any case, when The People's Dave hands the whole shebang over to his lovely wife Rupert Murdoch.
Pass the soma, I'm all out of anger, drug-fuelled bliss sounds great- especially on a Monday morning..
Why block?
Out of sight, out of mind eh? No point trying to catch anybody when nobody knows what's going on.
As long as it's not on *our* doorstep.
I'm puzzled
Why would anyone buy the NetClean stuff from the sheepshaggers when the system is made relatively locally in Sweden?
Re:Welcome to Australia
***"Since we're about to get a Tory government in the UK, we make as well be used to emotionally adolescant, bullying, patriarchal idiots deciding what you can see hear, and think"***
Ah, irony.
Don't you just love it.
You *were* being ironic, weren't you?
Mine's the one with the No2ID badge on the lapel.
The Watchdog organisation is run by Peter Mancer, a Christian Fundamentalist and Anti-Vaccination campaigner.
It would be nice to think that he was just in it for the money, but sadly, he is a true believer.
Get ready for the New Dark Ages.
@The Original Ash
I totally agree!
While blocking is fair enough (if you can do it, why not?), it doesn't actually do anything to address the real problem. It's the same as the SPAM problem - A lot of this stuff is generated from countries where something COULD be done about it, but nothing ever is. It's not rocket science, for goodness sake - it should be possible to track where a server is in next to no time - they all have a unique IP address after all. I don't get it.
The cheapest bestest filtering system evar?
Cut the connection entirely.
Personally I don't think filtering should be mandatory, or even that "looking at naughty pictures" should be forbidden, whatever their kind. Making them, if it involves lack of consent (and children cannot consent by very definition), lasting damage, that sort of thing, yes, sure. But focus on that and don't waste everyone's time and money with criminalizing people who end up with the stuff on their screens whether they wanted it, or not, as recently exemplified.
"only kicks into action when a blocked URL is identified"
Doesn't this statement directly contradict itself? Or are they magic? Time travellers? Quantum state technology?
@By Anonymous Coward 13:34
But its so much easier to penalize the user and not the pusher.
More convictions, looks better on the stats.
Bah, it's not new or even clever
Having worked for a Service Provider in the UK that used the same concept with a bunch of scripts and proxy servers, there is nothing clever about this solution. In fact, the "NetBox so cleans it whitens thingie" design looks as if they took the idea that everyone is using and turned ti into a product.
My guess is that this company ahas a very high marketing spend and managed to get in front of the Reg hack who wrote this piece.

Losing bidder protests Orioles' stadium contract
Date: November 19, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The design and construction company that built Camden Yards, the Baltimore Orioles' stadium, was the only firm to receive a perfect score in its bid to build the $25 million Orioles' spring-training stadium in Sarasota.
But that bid was denied, because the county said the Michigan-based company, Barton Malow, did not have a full partner who was locally based.
The company plans to file a protest over the rejection of its proposal.
"The county didn't follow its procedure," said Len Moser, vice president of Barton Malow's national sports group. "We don't believe (the ruling) is in the best interest of the county."
Moser said because of his firm's relationship with the Orioles, the team told the county that it preferred Barton Malow to build the spring-training stadium, but the county is responsible for choosing the construction company.
The county asked the Orioles if it had a second choice, and the team said it did not.
Although the Orioles preferred Barton Malow, the team really has no recourse. Dave Bullock, deputy county administrator, said although the Orioles were a participant in the process, it has no veto power over the contractor selection.
Jack Cox, president of Halfacre Construction Co., which was awarded the contract, said the Orioles and the county asked the bidders to team with local companies in a joint venture on the project.
"Barton Malow didn't do that," said Cox.
A five-member panel of county employees scored each bidder on its past experience and its approach to this project. The companies could earn 90 points from each panel member.
Barton Malow received a score of 90 from each of the five members. The team that was ultimately awarded the project, a joint venture between Miami-based Turner Construction Co. and Sarasota-based Halfacre Construction Co., was the only other bidder to receive a 90, and it only received one.
Barton Malow finished with an average score of 90. Turner and Halfacre had an average of 80, but the county's local-preference ordinance adds 10 points to that average, which put Barton Malow in a tie with Turner and Halfacre.
The county adopted the local-preference ordinance in February. It's designed to support local companies, which are defined as firms based in Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte and DeSoto counties.
With two bidders receiving a tie score in this case, the county turned to its tiebreaker, which again gives preference to the local company.
"We believe we followed procedure," said Rebekka Cline, county procurement specialist.
Moser said his company should have been given the local preference points as well, because it partnered with Mathews Construction, which is headquartered in Tampa and has a full-time office in Charlotte County.
But Cline said Mathews was a subcontractor on the project, and subcontractors don't count toward local preference.
Moser contends that Mathews is not a subcontractor and that will be the basis of his company's protest.
Cline will review the county's bidding process for the stadium project, and if she finds that the county acted fairly, Barton Malow can appeal to County Administrator Jim Ley. If he does not overrule the decision, then a last appeal can be made to the County Commission. That process can take weeks.
Moser said he's prepared to take it that far, if necessary.
"We were the only company to receive perfect scores across the board," said Moser. "That's pretty overwhelming."
• Pays a local business tax to Sarasota County or the county in which the company is located.
• Maintains a permanent physical business address in Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte or DeSoto counties.
• Has at least one full-time employee in that office.
• At least half of the employees in that office must reside within the four-county area.
• If the local office is not the company's headquarters, at least 10% of the company's entire full-time staff. must be based in the local office or at least has one corporate officer, managing partner or principal owner residing in the four-county area.
The first number is the company's score before local preference points. Local preference points are in parentheses.
1.Turner Construction Co.and Halfacre Construction Co.: 80 (10)

Dubai's best takeaways
We couldn't bear the heat, so we decided to order in. Here are the best of our findings 10 Comments
- Picture 1 of 2
Brick Lane
Ease of ordering: Excellent.
Delivery time: 40 minutes.
Verdict: Classic British curries (including the infamously hot phall) done to perfection by Scouse-Bangladeshis.
Delivery range: Barsha (04 399 6786).
Dhs25-40 per person
British Tandoor
Ease of ordering: Very easy.
Delivery time: 55 minutes.
Verdict: A no-frills British curry house offering great comfort food.
Delivery range: Everywhere, although some destinations have a delivery charge (04 321 1778).
Curry Box
Ease of ordering: Very easy.
Delivery time: 70 minutes.
Verdict: Great food – the best jalfrezi (a spicy, tomato-based curry) in town, plus gorgeously fragrant coconut rice. Butter chicken comes with plump chunks of breast and a creamy gravy that feels deceptively light. There is, however, a huge waste of packaging: everything arrives in enormous cardboard boxes that feel like an environmentally costly gimmick. Plus, you don't get popadoms unless you specifically request them.
Delivery range: From Barsha to the Green Community. Minimum orders depend on location. (800 2877 9269/ 04 4343 043, www.curryboxme.com).
Ease of ordering: If you know what you're getting in advance, ordering is easy. The menu, however, explains almost nothing, so be prepared to experiment.
Delivery time: 60 minutes, even though our closest outlet is located right across the street.
Verdict: The food takes a long time, but when you unpack it, it's obvious why. The biryani comes in a clay pot covered in a breaded shield (proving its authenticity), and contains a feast of juicy mushrooms and fluffy rice. Food is stunningly good, without exception.
Delivery range: Everywhere (04 359 8555, www.gazebo.ae).
India Palace
Ease of ordering: The telephone operator is quick, efficient and willing to recommend particular items from the menu.
Delivery time: About 60 minutes.
Verdict: Food arrives hot – boiling hot. We had to wait 10 minutes for our curry to cool before we could take a bite (okay, we jumped the gun and burned our mouths). Still, this is among the best takeaway curries in the city. Dishes are, without fail, expertly spiced, blissfully nuanced and surprisingly light (there are no puddles of oil to be found). Go in for the kadai gobi – cauliflower in a fragrant tomato gravy.
Delivery range: Garhoud (04 286 9600).
Kabab Rolls
Ease of ordering: Simple (but be a little patient).
Delivery time: 35 minutes.
Verdict: Chicken tandoori is succulent and well flavoured.
Delivery range: Everywhere, with minimum charges. Barsha (04 325 6166), Jumeirah (04 349 3936), BurJuman (04 396 0755).
Karachi Darbar
Ease of ordering: Good, if you stick to simple dishes.
Delivery time: 25 minutes.
Verdict: Fast, huge portions and darn cheap. Just shy of Ravi's.
Delivery range: Karama (04 334 7272), Bur Dubai (04 353 3177), Deira (04 272 3755).
Less than Dhs25 per person
Paratha King
Ease of ordering: A little tricky.
Delivery time: 60 minutes.
Verdict: This place serves every type of paratha (stuffed bread) imaginable. Yum.
Delivery range: Karama (04 397 9110), Bur Dubai (04 351 5121).
Less than Dhs25 per person
Royal Kebab
Ease of ordering: Be sure to enunciate clearly.
Delivery time: 40 minutes.
Verdict: Simple curry at its best. The butter chicken is rich and creamy.
Delivery range: International City (04 362 3800).
Dhs25-40 per person
Rupee Room
Ease of ordering: Very easy.
Delivery time: 40 minutes.
Verdict: Overpriced, but great quality if you want a treat.
Delivery range: Dubai Marina (04 390 5755, www.rupeeroom.com).
Student Biriyani
Ease of ordering: A pleasure.
Delivery time: 30 minutes.
Verdict: Too much rice and not enough meat with the biryani. Still, the taste isn't bad.
Delivery range: Bur Dubai and Karama (04 336 9992).
Dhs25-40 per person
Sukh Sagar
Ease of ordering: Tricky.
Verdict: Large portions of veggie curries. The seasoning is a bit safe.
Delivery range: Karama (04 396 7222), Dubai Marina (04 437 0188).
Dhs25-40 per person

In video games, you're bound to find at least one weapon or offense-oriented piece of equipment that you like to use, and use it regularly. Then there are the weapons that are either difficult to use effectively, useless in most situations or just plain unfun to utilize. Most people try to avoid using these weapons if they can afford to do so, but some games require you to use them at least once, usually to defeat a boss, solve a puzzle, or find an important item, at which point they are either discarded or forgotten. Note that this is not limited to weapons: Magic, offensive items, Mons or fighting moves can also fall into this category. Compare with Useless Useful Spell, which deals with skills and spells that deal status effects in RPGs, and Tier-Induced Scrappy. Contrast with Joke Item, which is an intentionally weak or useless weapon or item, So Last Season, where a weapon that was good for what it did is replaced by a newer, better one, and With This Herring, which is about deliberately being given poor (albeit usable) equipment by the important NPCs when the fate of the world is at stake. While this list contains weapons that suck, none of them are to be confused with Weapons That Suck.

November 28, 2014
DENVER (AP) The Colorado legislature has appropriated more than $2 million to compensate five property owners and a utility company affected by the Lower North Fork Fire in the foothills near Conifer.
The Denver Post reports Thursday's appropriation of nearly $2.07 million brings the total paid by the state to $4.9 million among 16 claimants.
The March 22, 2012, controlled burn, which killed three people, was set by the Colorado State Forest Service doing watershed-protection work on land owned by Denver Water in Jefferson County. The blaze destroyed 24 buildings and burned 4,140 acres.
The Post reports 29 other landowners are in the process of seeking compensation from the state for their losses in the wildfire.

France's highest administrative court said yesterday that authorities must resume registering Daimler vehicles, which were formally banned in late July, Automotive News reports, even though they are still equipped with R134a air-conditioning refrigerant.
The refrigerant is illegal in the European Union and is the reason for this legal battle, which has restricted the registration of Mercedes-Benz A-, B-, CLA- and SL-Class vehicles in France. But it turns out that the French government's use of an EU "safeguard" provision to ban registration of the Mercedes-Benz vehicles, which allows countries to block sales of vehicles that would "seriously harm the environment," wasn't justified. Why? Because the use of R134a doesn't appear to be an immediate danger to the environment, the Paris-based court said.
The new chemical, R1234yf, was made the EU's standard for a/c systems because it emits fewer greenhouse gases into the environment. Daimler says it continues to use R134a because it found R1234yf to be flammable in testing. The German automaker also argues that approval of the use of R134a by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) should be good enough permission for it to sell cars in Europe.
The current state of the situation prompted Daimler to say it expects French authorities to start registering its vehicles tomorrow.

Obama Gives $3 Bil To U.N. Climate Fund Run By Communist, Terrorist Nations – Judicial Watch
President Obama has committed a mind-boggling $3 billion to a new United Nations Green Climate Fund run by officials from Communist nations, a country that appears on the State Department's list of terrorism-sponsors and an Arab oil-industry chief.
As if it weren't bad enough that our commander-in-chief is giving away money while the nation suffers through a colossal budget deficit, there are countless reasons why this is a lousy idea. First of all, the United Nations is a famously corrupt organization that is already largely funded by Uncle Sam to the tune of billions annually. The exact figure is tough to nail down because the U.S. cash flows, not just directly to U.N. coffers from the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), but also from a number of other government agencies to the U.N. system.
The entire world body is well known as a pillar of fraud and mismanagement, but that hasn't slowed the tide of American taxpayer dollars. Even the U.N.'s Human Rights Council, funded primarily by American taxpayers, is a huge joke. A few years ago Judicial Watch reported that the U.N. awarded a genocidal warlord indicted by an international court for crimes against humanity a seat on its laughable human rights council. His name is Omar Al-Bashir, a ruthless African dictator charged by the International Criminal Court of war crimes in Darfur for killing thousands of his own citizens.
The last thing we need is another global U.N. initiative looking for cash. The "urgency and seriousness of climate change" inspired the crooked world body to create the Green Climate Fund, which aims to help the international community combat global warming. Here's the plan in a nutshell; the fund will promote the paradigm shift towards low-emission and climate-resilient development pathways by providing support to developing countries to limit or reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the impacts of climate change. This will be accomplished by following the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, an international environmental treaty that aims to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations.
Predictably, this can't be accomplished cheaply and President Obama stepped up to the plate with the astounding $3 billion allotment. He made the announcement this month during a speech in Australia. "Now, today, I'm announcing that the United States will take another important step," Obama said "We are going to contribute $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund so we can help developing nations deal with climate change. So along with the other nations that have pledged support, this gives us the opportunity to help vulnerable communities with an early-warning system, with stronger defenses against storm surges, climate-resilient infrastructure." The speech, delivered at University of Queensland in Brisbane, went on and on but the snippet is sufficient to relay its gist.
Now let's take a look at who's running this new Green Climate Fund that's supposed to save the world from the ills of global warming. Among the board of directors is Yingming Yang, the Deputy Director General of Communist China's Ministry of Finance and Jorge Ferrer Rodriguez, a minister in Cuba's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Communist island has for years appeared on the State Department's list of nations that sponsor terrorism. Another interesting board member is Ayman Shasly, an official in Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources.
The selection of Shasly as a top dog of a conglomerate looking to halt climate change is peculiar since the oil industry contributes the most greenhouse gas and is well known to have a negative effect on the environment because it's toxic to nearly all forms of life. Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources is a government body in a country that happens to be the world's largest producer and exporter of oil. In fact, it has a quarter of the world's known oil reserves. Shasly's efforts as a global environmentalist may seem like a conflict of interest, especially since his government has announced plans to increase oil production from around 8 million barrels per day to 12.
Rockin' In The Frozen World: Snowed-In Rock Band Trapped On Their Tour Bus For Two Days And A Woman Forced To Give Birth In A Firehouse As Buffalo Braces For Another Three Feet – Daily Mail
An expectant mother was forced to give birth in a firehouse after being unable to reach hospital due to nearly six feet of snow falling in just 36 hours in New York.
The Buffalo area has been battered by storms in recent days, which has left some motorists, including the rock band Interpol, trapped on western New York highways, with the National Guard bracing itself for another three feet of snow.
But just as the snow began accumulating around her home on Tuesday evening, Bethany Hojnacki went into labor.

Joyful: Bethany Hojnacki and her husband Jared were trapped in their south Buffalo home Tuesday night as Bethany went into labor. hours later, Lucy Grace Hojnacki was born (pictured) was born in an area firehouse
Her husband Jared decided to flag down firefighters as they helped a driver stuck in the monumental snowstorm near their south Buffalo home, Buffalo News reports.
After some failed attempts- with the help of neighbors -to dig out their street, the Hojnackis were forced to find a quicker solution.
With the help of a stranded driver who also happened to be a pediatric nurse, WVIB reports that Bethany gave birth to a healthy baby girl in a nearby firehouse.
Lucy Grace Hojnacki was born weighing 6 pounds and 2 ounces. She has a big brother in Jared and Bethany's 19-month-old son.
Meanwhile, rock band Interpol were among the 100 motorists stranded on a highway outside Buffalo, when their route to Montreal, where they were due to play a show, became completely blocked.
'Settling in for another night. Haven't moved all day. Hoping the expected storm tonight ain't as bad as predicted. C'mon now now,' tweeted guitarist Daniel Kessler around 7pm Wednesday.
Stranded (with booze): The rock band Interpol (band mates at left) were on their way to play a show in Montreal on Tuesday when their tour bus (at right) became trapped along with 100 or so other motorists on Buffalo-area highways paralyzed by historic snowfall

Authorities are bracing for up to three more feet that could fall on western New York before the storm subsides this weekend.
A 132-mile stretch of the New York State Thruway remains closed today and dozens of drivers were trapped on the road after their vehicles became overwhelmed by the snow. Other motors abandoned their vehicles or were rescued by state troopers.
Currently, 22 stranded motorists are camping out at the Lackawanna toll station on the Thruway, waiting for vehicles to get through so that they can return home, the Buffalo News reports. Their cars are still parked on the highway – and in the way of snow plows that are attempting to clear the road.
Endjie Ulysses, a student at Penn State University, told NBC News she was one of 14 people trapped on a Greyhound bus on the Throughway for 34 hours before state troopers rescued them on Wednesday.
'I'm just tired. I've only slept for about two or three hours,' she said.

Up to three feet more snow is headed to Buffalo, New York, on Wednesday night and Thursday
The early winter storms and bitter temperatures have already been blamed for at least eight deaths across three states – including a man in Buffalo, New York, who was found dead in his car, covered in several feet of snow after he crashed into a ditch.
The rest of the country was forced to bundle up again today as temperatures continue to clock in at 15 to 20 degrees below average for this time of year.
It was even colder today in many parts of the country than it was on terrible Tuesday. This means lows of 20 degrees in New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. and single digits across most of the Midwest – including nine degrees in Chicago.
Even the South is experiencing a record-breaking deep-freeze, with temperatures dropping to 31 in Houston, 30 in New Orleans, 28 degrees in the Florida panhandle and 21 in Atlanta.
The bitter cold snap will continue for the rest of the week, with lows in the teens in the Midwest, 20s in the Northeast and mid-30s in the South for Thursday and Friday.
The storm stranded about 150 people in their cars on the New York State Thruway for hours Tuesday night and Wednesday – including the Niagara University women's basketball team.
Snow smash: The incredible snowfall – five feet in just a matter of hours – caved in roofs and even smashed through the doors of this Buffalo, New York, home
Lake effect: The view from the sky above Buffalo, New York, shows the lake effect snow storm moving into the city from Lake Erie. Lake effect snow has caused nearly all of the snowfall in the last two days – mostly in Upstate New York and western Michigan
A band of storm clouds moves across Lake Erie and into Buffalo, New York on Tuesday. Parts of New York measured the season's first big snowfall in feet, rather than inches, as three feet of lake-effect snow blanketed the Buffalo area and forced the closure of a 132-mile stretch of the state Thruway
Cold enough: Wednesday has proved even colder than terrible Tuesday – with lows of 20 degrees in New York City and Washington, D.C., and single digits across the Midwest. Pictured here, a house in Buffalo, New York, where temperatures dipped to 13
Stranded: The Niargara University wpmen's basketball team was stranded on the New York State Thruway in western New York for 26 hours until they could be rescued. About 150 motorists spent the night in their cars
Frozen: Air travel was also hit by delays thanks to the snow – above is a Delta Airlines plan at Buffalo Greater International Airport
Team spokeswoman Chelsea Andorka said the bus, with about 25 players and coaches aboard, was headed back from a loss in Pittsburgh when it came to a halt at 2am on Tuesday.
'We were told the National Guard was coming by but haven't seen any signs of life,' Andorka said.
'The first time they came they told us to be prepared to stay for a while. One tow truck passed six or seven hours ago.
Even colder: Temperatures dropped even lower today than they were yesterday in much of the country – with lows in the single digits in most of the Midwest and low 20s in the South and Northeast
No relief: It will warm slightly on Thursday – though temperatures will still be far below average for mid-November – teens in the Midwest, 20s and 30s in the Northeast and mid-30s in the South
Warmer weekends: Friday will still be cold and miserable for most of the country, but Sunday and Monday are expected to see average – or even above average – temperatures return
More snow: Up to 18 inches of additional snow could hit western New York today, adding to the six feet that's already on the ground in the region
'It seemed like a nightmare. It just didn't feel like it was going to end,' Bryce Foreback, 23, of Shicora, Pennsylvania, told The Associated Press by cellphone 20 hours into his wait for help. 'I haven't slept in like 30 hours and I'm just waiting to get out of here.'
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo deployed 150 members of the National Guard to help clear the cars from the road during a brief lull between storms. A state of emergency, declared on Tuesday, remains in effect for parts of the region and officials are telling people to stay inside and off the roads.
By Wednesday, 100 cars remained on the New York State Thruway. A 132-mile stretch of the vital highway remains closed because snowplows cannot clear the road due to the stuck cars.
Authorities are hoping to clear them by later today.
Amtrak has also suspended train service to and from western New York as crews work to clear tracks of the heavy pileup.
Airports in Buffalo and Grand Rapids, Michigan, were forced to cancel flights as a result of the snow.
Authorities say there is so much accumulation that it can't just be plowed in most places – it must be scooped up and hauled away in order to clear roads.

Parking lot: Over 100 cars are still stranded on the New York State Thruway, preventing plows from clearing it. A 132-mile stretch of the vital highway remains closed
Coming through: Freight trains are plowing their way through western New York, though Amtrak has suspended passenger rail service to the region
Digging out: A man in Buffalo labors to shovel out his driveway in the wake of the snowstorm. Several people have died of heart attacks while shoveling
Stuck: Cars are snowed under across the country, leaving drivers with hours of work if they want to leave
Daunting task: Many residents of Lancaster, New York, haven't even begun to clear their driveways
The storms in Michigan and Upstate New York are the result of lake effect snow. Lake effect snow is the result of cold winds blasting across the relatively surfaces of the Great Lakes, which tend to retain heat, picking up moisture as they go.
When that cold, moist air makes landfall, it can result in sudden, massive snow storms. The squalls can be surprisingly isolated. Some part of Buffalo got nearly five feet of snow on Tuesday. Others escaped with just a few inches.
In a region accustomed to highway-choking snowstorms, this one is being called one of the worst in memory.
Snow blown by strong winds forced the closing of a 132-mile stretch of the Thruway, the main highway across New York state.
Meteorologists say temperatures in all 50 states fell to freezing or below on Tuesday. They say the low temperatures were more reminiscent of January than November.
In New Hampshire and elsewhere, icy roads led to accidents. Lake-effect storms in Michigan produced gale-force winds and as much as 18 inches of snow, and canceled several flights at the Grand Rapids airport.
Schools closed in the North Carolina mountains amid blustery winds and ice-coated roads. In Indiana, three firefighters were hurt when a semitrailer hit a fire truck on a snowy highway.
In Atlanta, tourists Morten and Annette Larsen from Copenhagen were caught off-guard by the 30-degree weather as they took photos of a monument to the 1996 summer Olympics at Centennial Olympic Park.
'It's as cold here as it is in Denmark right now. We didn't expect that,' Larsen said, waving a hand over his denim jacket, buttoned tightly over a hooded sweatshirt.
Neighbors pulled out their tractors on Wednesday to help dig out from the heavy snow fall, which topped 60 inches in some places

Making the best of it: Some western New York residents, hardened by life in the Great White North, used the massive snow as an excuse to have a little fun
In Buffalo, Brian Krzeminski watched the snow pile up outside the south Buffalo convenience store where he worked overnight and served free coffee to the motorists and pedestrians who came in off the city streets to get out of the blinding snow.
'There are people that came out to get a few things. We had some people who came in just to get a 30-pack of beer, which is kind of odd,' he said. 'We've had EMTs whose ambulance got stuck. I'm constantly seeing cars get stuck.'
The National Weather Service warned that the snow, generated by cold air blowing over the warmer Great Lakes, would continue through Wednesday and could eventually total 6 feet in places. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo deployed 150 member of the National Guard to help clear snow-clogged roads and remove abandoned vehicles.
'We have tried to get out of our house and we are lucky to be able to shovel so we can open the door. Basically, that's it, open the door,' said Linda Oakley of Buffalo. 'We're just thinking that in case of an emergency we can at least get out the door. We can't go any further.'
'All around us, it's a solid 4 feet of snow that is so thick and so heavy you can hardly move it with a shovel,' said Oakley, whose son Todd was with her, unable to make it to work just three miles away.
Too cold: By Thursday, temperatures will still be far below normal for this time of year – up to 19 degrees lower than average in some places
More than half of the country is currently covered in snow and more is expected to fall on Wednesday
Buried: Upstate New York residents are digging out today and bracing for up to 18 inches of additional snowfall
Fun in the snow: Kids of all ages found themselves playing in the snow on Tuesday – one of the upsides of the dramatic blizzard
Jim Lehmann was hunkering down with his wife in their town of Hamburg home, while outside his neighbor's house was barely visible through the blowing snow.
'The main thing to do now is sit in the house and wait it out,' Lehmann said. 'My neighbor works for a satellite dish company and he tried to get out this morning and he got stuck 80 feet down the street. And he was there for three hours.'
The town of West Seneca recorded 45 inches by late morning and Alden, to the east, had 48 inches. But typical of lake-effect snow, areas just a few miles away, including downtown and north Buffalo, had just a couple of inches.
At one point, nearly half of West Seneca's plows were bogged down in heavy snow, officials told The Buffalo News. In neighboring Orchard Park, the highway superintendent called the rate of snowfall 'unbelievable,' while next door in Hamburg police cars were getting stuck.
Oakley and her son, Todd, were passing the time watching 'Dumb and Dumber' on Netflix.
'We can't even walk down to the end of the street and get ourselves a pizza,' she said, laughing. 'Maybe if you had snow shoes, I don't know.'
Sheriffs Against Amnesty To March On Washington – WorldNetDaily
Sheriffs around the country are planning to march on the nation's capital, hoping to send a message to President Obama and Congress that they oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants.
The Dec. 10 rally in Washington, D.C., is being organized by two sheriffs from Massachusetts – Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson and Plymouth County Sheriff Joseph McDonald.
They have challenged America's other sheriffs, asking for at least 200 of them to join in paying a visit to the Capitol to make a stand against amnesty and plead for Congress and the president to secure the border. More than 20 have already signed up to participate, Hodgson told WND.
The march will culminate in a meeting with Republican leaders at the Capitol building regarding possible legislation to secure the border "once and for all."
Hodgson has sent a letter to sheriffs nationwide asking them to join him in the rally.
He told WND he's already heard from 20 to 25 sheriffs who have committed to join him on the trip to Washington. The letter states in part:
"As you know, the policies of recent years that encourage immigrants to illegally enter our country have created serious threats to our domestic and national security. The citizens of our nation are counting on the American Sheriffs to fulfill our oath to preserve law and order and live up to our responsibilities as guardians of the United States Constitution.
"Given the fact that 25 people are killed each day by illegal immigrants, and our schools are becoming overcrowded and more costly, our public health is threatened by new diseases and ailments introduced by people living in our communities illegally, and the fact that benefits are being given and violations of the law forgiven for a select group of non-citizens, makes clear our obligation to act now before we erode the confidence and the faith citizens have in Sheriffs across the country and throughout our history."
Hodgson told WND that sheriffs across this country "are tired of being marginalized, either by the inaction of Congress or the overreaction by the president of the United States, who have put us in this situation."
Hodgson said he started thinking about planning the march while at the National Sheriffs Association Conference in Dallas-Fort Worth earlier this year.
"One of the things I raised was that the people of the United States have always looked to the American sheriff as someone who looks out for public safety and they are not looked at in a partisan way, so it seemed to me we need to stand up to support the border sheriffs," Hodgson said. "We all have become border sheriffs."
He said President Obama's 2012 executive order allowing illegals to stay in the country for two years and entitling them to a hearing, "caused all sorts of problems" for law enforcement.
"The word got out and the cartels realized immediately that was a great way to make money, and it has netted them millions and millions of dollars smuggling people to the border," Hodgson said. "That was done with the stroke of a pen in June 2012, which was an election year."
Obama chooses to act on 'Revolution Day'
Now Obama is about to go even further, planning to announce a sweeping amnesty plan for millions of illegal immigrants Thursday evening.
Just after 12 p.m. Wednesday, the White House posted a Facebook announcement that reads as follows:
"It's time to fix our broken immigration system. Tomorrow night (November 20th), President Obama will address the nation on new commonsense steps he's taking to fix as much of it as he can. Tune in tomorrow at 8pm ET. "
Thursday's date, Nov. 20, is significant, says William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration.
"November 20 is Mexican 'Revolution Day' or Mexican 'Civil War Day' which is the equivalent of America's 4th of July," Gheen said. "Obama's choice of this date for his departure from his Oath of Office and the U.S. Constitution creates a permanent symbolic relationship between his actions and Mexico's violent revolutionary and civil wars from 1910-1920.
"Obama is making a powerful and dangerous symbolic declaration to large Spanish media audiences today comparing his new immigration orders to the violent Mexican revolution and civil war," Gheen continued. "Obama is timing his move to thwart the American public's voice in Congress to coincide with Mexican Revolution Day and the Ferguson (grand jury decision) while CBS, ABC, and NBC will keep most U.S. citizens oblivious tonight."
No proof for cited cause of 'surge'
The problems with illegals were already intense before Obama's 2012 executive order, but they exploded in the wake of that declaration, Hodgson said.
"The president said the surge at the border was from them trying to escape poverty and violent drug gangs. They have their issues, no question, but no one has ever been able to document that this was the cause," he said.
He cited a report by the El Paso Intelligence Center, which he called "a bipartisan study done on this very issue," that found no connection between increased crime and poverty and the surge at the border.
"We know homicides are down in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, but the point is the president did this. They are trying to place children all over the country. They have to hire translators, etc., and the costs are overwhelming," Hodgson said. "We have one situation in Lowell, Massachusetts, where the mayor is saying, 'Our schools are bursting at the seams. We just can't afford this anymore.'
"Just the other day, we apprehended a (illegal) man 35 years old for a crime in one of our high schools. He had gray hair. This is the kind of nonsense that's going on."
Hodgson said he visited McAllen, Texas, this summer and saw firsthand the chaos that was being caused by a border that had been turned into a massive welcome mat. He also saw how it's affecting the interior of the country.
"They were moving them out of the facility there so they could create bed space. Five plane loads were sent to Massachusetts," he said. "One guy had all kinds of medical issues, and his treatment is going to be in the millions of dollars. Now that he's being released from our hospital, they shipped him back to Texas and let him go. So these are the kinds of problems the American people aren't being told of, but we see them every day."
The Obama administration has essentially created a whole new class of people with special rights and privileges that are not available to law-abiding citizens, Hodgson said.
"They are exempt from certain laws. Now the president of the United States says, 'I know you came here illegally, and I know you may have committed misdemeanor crimes after you came here, but I'm going to give you a work visa and allow you to stay here indefinitely," Hodgson said. "When you have a president say he doesn't care who comes into our country … that's the beginnings of the breakdown of democracy."
The concern is what kind of message amnesty sends to "the five million people waiting in line to get in legally," Hodgson said.
"Congress is not acting. They are not doing what they should be doing, which is to secure our borders. That's why I'm asking sheriffs to go to Washington," he said. "Our cities are being overrun. So we're saying to Congress, 'Live up to your oaths.'"
If anyone can stand up for the rights of law-abiding citizens, the sheriffs can, he said.
"It's our responsibility to enforce the laws, and we're also responsible for protecting the constitutional rights of the people who elect us," he said. "So this is a problem that affects all of us."
Not all sheriffs on board
The National Sheriffs Association has the largest membership of any law enforcement group in America.
"They have come out and said they fully endorse every sheriff to stand up and speak out on this issue," Hodgson said. "And we support the security of the border. Start with stemming the borders. That's step one. And then manage what we have here in a very thoughtful political approach."
But not all the nation's sheriffs are against granting amnesty.
Sheriff Scott Jones of Sacramento County, California, released a video plea to the president this week calling for him to unilaterally declare "immigration reform."
See video below in which Jones claims the president is "singularly" responsible for the immigration issue.
Gheen, of Americans for Legal Immigration, said he sees Jones' message as counterproductive.
"Most sheriffs have better sense than that because they're elected by the people," Gheen said. "But, hey, you have to consider, it's California."
Hodgson was not sure if Jones would be joining his march on Washington.
"There are sheriffs that may have different points of view, but I can tell you the majority of sheriffs in this country are against amnesty, and they are absolutely in favor of getting our borders secured," Hodgson said.
He said getting 200 sheriffs to join him in Washington in the middle of the holiday season won't be easy, but he's encouraged by the early response.
"I threw that figure out there as a challenge to the sheriffs. I've gotten several calls from sheriffs who have committed to us from as far away as Washington state, California, North Carolina, Maryland, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania," he said.
Sheriff Sam Page from Rockingham County, N.C., and Sheriff Jenkins of Fredrick County, Maryland, and Sheriff Paul Babeu of Pinal County, Arizona, are among those who have already committed to the effort.
Hodgson said he's been involved in the immigration issue since 1999, shortly after he won his first term as sheriff of Bristol County.
"I've worked on both Republican and Democratic sides to try to get this issue under control, and I'm very familiar with how it's become used as a political football. I'm as frustrated as anybody," he said.
Bring in the Israelis
Hodgson said he has been calling for officials in Washington to bring in Israeli border security officials as consultants to help map out a comprehensive border security plan.
"Frankly… because nobody is better at border security than the Israelis," he said.
He describes it this way for the uninitiated: If you were looking out your kitchen window and saw a strange man walking through your backyard, would you turn away and take your chances on whether that stranger meant harm or was "just passing through"?
"We've got criminals, gang members, drug dealers and now al-Qaida working with the cartels, and we have reports that ISIS could be doing the same thing," Hodgson said. "Since when do we turn our back on that? You wouldn't turn your back if someone you didn't know was walking through your backyard. We need to know who's coming in and who's here."
Hodgson said he believes there's more to it than just Washington lacking the will to do what's right. He believes the Obama administration has sinister motives.
"They want to build a socialist system," he said.
And how do you do that?
"You overburden the existing system until it collapses," he said. "We can't let it happen. Our Founding Fathers would disown us if we let it happen."
Gheen, of ALIPAC, said he had a suggestion that he wishes the sheriffs would consider when they pay a visit to the nation's capital next month.
"If the sheriffs are heading to Washington, how about suggesting the sheriffs take some of their best men to D.C. and they use their power and ability to arrest the president of the United States?" Gheen said. "I think if the sheriffs are going to Washington on Dec. 10 and the president continues to violate the Constitution of the United States, that they should consider arresting the president of the United States. What if the sheriffs decided to use their power to do this?"
Man's Semen Tests Positive For Ebola After He Was Cured – Big Government
A Liberian man was quarantined in India despite supposedly being cured of Ebola after samples of his semen tested positive for the deadly virus.
A 26-year-old native of Liberia arrived in New Delhi with a certificate from the Liberian health ministry saying that he was cured of the disease. But India wasn't entirely satisfied with the claim and performed some tests of its own.
The World Health Organization already warns male survivors not to have sexual intercourse for up to seven weeks after being cleared of the disease. The WHO even thinks that sex may have been how some victims got the disease.
"It is reiterated that the person concerned is a treated and cured case of Ebola Virus Disease," the Indian health ministry reported. Authorities said they would keep the man in isolation until all his bodily fluids tested negative for the virus.
