Beat 360° 4/9/08
Posted: 11:28 AM ET

Hey Bloggers!

Quit your crying! Hey, I’m here, im here… its ok - Hey, hey, shhhhh,,,, look what I have for you! ‘Beat 360°.’

Everyday we post a picture - and you provide the caption. Our staff will get in on the action too.

Tune in every night at 10p ET to see if you are our favorite! Can you Beat 360°?

Here is today’s “Beat 360°” pic of the day: Here we have three new-born babies listening to music through headphones in the maternity ward of a hospital in the Slovak Republic. The experimental program started a few years ago and reportedly enhances the new-born baby’s well-being after their birth. Pieces from the composers Mozart and Vivaldi are reportedly the most popular. (Im guessing the baby on the left doesnt think so!)

Beat 360°
Have fun with it.

Make sure to include your name, city, state (or country) so we can post your comment.

- David Reisner, 360° Digital Producer

UPDATE: Check out our Beat 360° Winner!
