B&T Axis 360 Now Available for New Zealand Libaries
Posted by: | CommentsBaker and Taylor has just expanded into New Zealand, giving public libraries the ability to loan out eBooks and audiobooks. The first libraries to offer digital content will be in Wellington City.
In order to expand into NZ, B&T needed to leverage their Australian subsidiary James Bennett. This is similar to Overdrive using Softlink as a partner in Australia, except they don't actually own the company.
The agreement between Baker & Taylor/James Bennett and Wellington City Council offers all New Zealand public libraries an opportunity to sign onto a Participating Agency Agreement (PAA) and receive the terms and services outlined in the contract. Participating public libraries will have access to a wide range of areas in which Baker & Taylor/James Bennett have developed industry-leading expertise and technology, including collection development, ordering and procurement services and customized library solutions/technical services.
Working in partnership with Baker & Taylor/James Bennett also ensures that New Zealand libraries can quickly and easily receive all major titles from New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom through James Bennett's warehouse in Sydney, as well as U.S. titles through Baker & Taylor's American operations.
Baker and Taylor is the last major library to have a presence in New Zealand. Overdrive launched there in 2011 and 3M Cloud Library entered the market in 2013.
Digital Audiobooks the Latest Emerging Trend in Libraries
Posted by: | CommentsThe American Library Association Annual conference every year is the perfect avenue to gauge emerging trends. During the 2014 event in Las Vegas, three trends eclipsed all others that had the entire floor buzzing with anticipation. Pay per Use, Libraries as Retail and Audiobooks were the largest issues that had keynote speeches and companies devoted to digital.
3m Cloud Library and Baker & Taylor Axis 360 are both revising their apps geared towards patrons for a better streamlined process to handle audiobooks. Instead of redirecting you to 3rd party services, they have both employed a complex backend to allow customers to browse, borrow and listen to books within a singular app.
Both of these companies are also allowing libraries to have more flexible control over their audiobook catalog. Collection managers will be able to develop their own custom shelves and serve genre specific audiobooks. For example, say a library is doing a monthly program showcasing Fantasy, they could populate the frontpage of the app with a custom selection of content from Urban Fantasy or even Lord of the Rings.
The apps B&T and 3M are developing will be quite different from their existing offerings. Not only can you listen to books within the app, but you can download them to your tablet, phone or computer and listen to them offline. They will also allow you to pick up where you left off on one device, while using another, with their new syncing system.
3M disclosed that 50% of all of their libraries they serve are very interested in an expanded audiobook solution, while B&T is seeing unparalleled demand.
Audiobooks is a very interesting system for libraries, as many of the top distributors lean on 3rd parties for a full catalog of content. 3M and Baker and Taylor both lean on Findaway World, which is current market leader in production. Findaway has a catalog of over 40,000 titles and maintains production studios, narrators and crew in New York. Overdrive has their own internal solution, where they approach publishers directly, instead of dealing with Acoustic, Findaway or Hoopla.
Hoopla is an audiobook solution for libraries that floats under the radar, but are quickly making a name for themselves with their exclusive focus. The company has a catalog of 13,000 titles with 1,000 added each month. Hoopla deals with over 100 libraries in the US and charges no licensing fees with setting up the system, which is quite appealing to the average library.
How does Hoopla make money? The company has employed the Pay Per Use model, which only charges the library when a specific title is checked out by a patron. Librarians can establish a weekly or monthly threshold, so they can ensure they will not go over budget. This financial model works for Hoopla because they can promote their entire catalog, while curating the bestsellers on the main page, so finding quality content is ridiculously easy.
eBook sales globally may have flatlined, but audiobook sales have been consistently rising. The industry last year was worth 2.4 billion dollars and has a 6% annual growth rate in the UK. Still, audiobooks are still fairly expensive when compared to an eBook. The average eBook for a library to purchase is around $9.99, while an audio edition costs $29.99. Many distributors told us off the record that they were seeing a 5:1 ratio for eBook loans vs audiobook loans.
In the end, libraries have more choice than ever before on who they want to deal with to power their digital audio solution. They can go with Hoopla, which is dedicated to audiobooks only and does not concern themselves with anything else. 3M, B&T, Overdrive or Recorded Books are all in one solutions that do everything from eBooks, magazines, graphic novels, movies and music.
Baker & Taylor Axis 360 Library Platform Comes to Canada
Posted by: | CommentsThe Baker & Taylor Axis 360 library platform has transcended from being a US exclusive and has now come to Canada. Starting today the platform will be available for schools and libraries via a new relationship with an established partner Whitehots.
Michael Bills, Director for Sales, Digital Products told Good e-Reader exclusively "Whitehots will be reselling the Axis 360 platform and services to Canadian customers, and is incorporating the Axis 360 content metadata into the Whitehots ordering tools so that customers will be able to order both print and digital together from a single supplier. This mirrors for Canadian customers the streamlined acquisitions process that B&T creates for its customers using Title Source for physical and digital collection development."
He went on to elaborate "The current content available for Canadian libraries is well over 500,000 titles, including more than 30,000 digital audiobooks. We expect this will grow significantly as B&T and Whitehots work together to involve more digital suppliers."
WhiteHots has been on the Canadian scene for the past 25 years. The company assists new and existing libraries set up the entire backend from the acquisition of titles to choosing a proper ILS system. One of the companies new focuses is assisting libraries in selecting a proper launch collection for digital books with their Intelligent Library Solutions program.
There is not many companies offering end to end eBook solutions in Canada. Overdrive has been in the market for a number of years and the 3M Cloud has entered the market in the last six months. The competitive advantage Axis 360 has is the ability to order print titles in addition to eBooks and audiobooks.
B&T Axis 360 Now Integrated into BiblioCommons
Posted by: | CommentsBaker and Taylor have building up a library distribution system for not only tangible books, but also eBooks and audiobooks. The company has been working hard to integrate their services into the BiblioCommons discovery layer. Today the Axis 360 platform now allows library patrons to have access to all library materials from the online catalog – whether physical or digital – and creates a convenient experience for borrowing and enjoying ebooks and digital audiobooks in the patron's favorite reading apps and on their device of choice.
The integration of the two systems creates a simple and straightforward presentation of Axis 360 digital content alongside the library's print, movie and music holdings. From that unified and user-friendly display, patrons can discover and select from the library's entire range of materials available for borrowing. The real-time inventory display and deep API integration allows patrons to place holds when digital copies are not available, and to check out ebooks and digital audiobooks directly from a library's website. The entire experience for digital borrowing is centered in the BiblioCommons interface so that library patrons do not have to leave the library's website to access materials hosted remotely in the Axis 360 repository.
Baker & Taylor and BiblioCommons recently completed the first implementation of the new technology integration with Johnson County Library in Overland Park, Kansas. API-level integration with Axis 360 will now be available to all libraries using BiblioCommons.
"Baker & Taylor strives to improve patron and library experiences with digital services," said George Coe, Baker & Taylor's President and CEO. "Because of the close partnerships we've forged with BiblioCommons, ILS vendors and mobile technology providers, the day is coming soon when all Axis 360 libraries will be able to offer this valuable, user-friendly integration to their patrons. We would like to thank Johnson County Library for their participation with Axis 360 and the work they undertook to pioneer the integration with BiblioCommons."
"Our libraries' vision of interoperable ebook services, as outlined through ReadersFirst, gave us our direction," said Patrick Kennedy, President of BiblioCommons. "BiblioCommons was pleased to collaborate with Baker & Taylor in this important step towards realizing this goal."
BiblioCommons will make the update available to all of its library customers who use Axis 360.
With the addition of BiblioCommons, Axis 360 is now integrated with many of the leading ILS systems and discovery layers, including products from TLC, SirsiDynix and Polaris. Work is underway with other providers.
Used by many of the country's top public, K-12 school and academic libraries, Axis 360 offers a fully accessible platform for library users to find, check out and read digital titles on their phones, tablets and ereader devices.
McGraw-Hill Professional Offers eBooks to Libraries through Axis 360
Posted by: | Comments
School and public libraries may have gotten a boost today through a new agreement between McGraw-Hill Professional and Baker & Taylor. This agreement will make more than 5,000 technical, medical, and professional titles available for ebook lending; more than 700 of these titles are recently published works.
"We are at the forefront of the digital transformation in publishing and are committed to expanding our digital offerings to public and school library customers throughout the world," says Philip Ruppel, president of McGraw-Hill Professional. "We are pleased to team with Baker & Taylor on new ways to make our world-renowned content instantly accessible to library patrons."
"We are delighted our library customers and their patrons will have access to McGraw-Hill Professional's wide variety of titles to borrow and enjoy," said George Coe, President and CEO of Baker & Taylor. "Baker & Taylor is dedicated to working with our publishing partners to offer libraries a robust selection of digital and printed materials for their patrons."
Libraries have become more of a focal point for distance and digital education, especially in vocational and technical training, thanks to the growing presence of MOOCs and online accredited educational opportunities. Pilot programs are already in place to beta test distance education in public libraries, even at the secondary school level. Access like this to these titles through the Axis 360 e-reading platform can enhance the options and learning opportunities for a variety of underserved individuals.
Axis 360 makes digital reading possible in nearly any way that readers consume content, such as browser-based PCs, tablets and smartphones, or dedicated e-readers.
Baker and Taylor Appoints George Coe as New CEO
Posted by: | CommentsBaker & Taylor, one of the largest distributor of books and eBooks has appointed longtime executive George Coe as the company's new Chief Executive Officer and President.
Coe brings a ton of experience with him to the table and has been with the company since 2000. He has served as President of Baker & Taylor's Library & Education division, playing a seminal role in the development of Axis 360 program. Axis 360 is their library distribution service and they are 3rd major player in the USA by market share with Overdrive and 3M leading the pack.
Mr. Coe will replace Arnie Wight, who retired January 15 after a distinguished 34-year career with the company. Mr. Wight will assume the role of Non-Executive Chairman of the Board and will also work as a consultant for Baker & Taylor to support the leadership transition and the execution of strategic plans.
"Baker & Taylor is the leading provider of books, media, technological products and services to customers throughout the world, and I look forward to working with our excellent team to continue to enhance Baker & Taylor's innovative solutions for our retail, library and education customers." Coe continues, "I am proud to lead Baker & Taylor at a time when exciting changes are taking place in all of the markets we serve."
Baker & Taylor, the world's largest distributor of digital and physical books and entertainment products, announced today that through a pilot program it will now be able to make available more than 450 popular ebook titles from Simon & Schuster imprints to classrooms and school libraries using the Axis 360 digital media circulation platform.
The brand new pilot program will allow Baker & Taylor's K-12 customers to purchase access to many popular, classic and award-winning Simon & Schuster ebooks for school-aged readers. Some of the titles included in the pilot are Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that Type by Doreen Cronin and illustrated by Betsy Lewin, Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, Forge by Laurie Halse Anderson, Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt and For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway.
"Even more than their parents, young readers are very comfortable with digital content, so the addition of children's and teens' ebooks from such a large and influential publisher as Simon & Schuster is a welcome development in our industry," said George Coe, President of Baker & Taylor's Library & Education division. "Children now have more ways to discover books that engage their minds, and can do so on platforms that are familiar and easy to use."
Baker and Taylor Releases New axisReader Apps
Posted by: | CommentsBaker and Taylor has the 3rd largest market share for companies who facilitate digital ebook delivery in their libraries. Today, the company is making the process of reading easier with its new axisReader apps for iOS and Android.
The new axisReader apps allow you to borrow and read books within a singular app from your local library. You can read them in PDF or EPUB formats, as well as highlight, bookmark, annotate, or look up a definition. The new app will allow patrons to tap into a huge ecosystem of 450,000 titles, including digital audiobooks.
One of the most interesting aspects of this new app is the fact that BT has done away with its own Blio format, which got critical acclaim from the National Federation of the Blind. I guess with the rise of EPUB being the common ebook format, the company is better off going in that direction.
"axisReader is a powerful tool that provides on-the-go library patrons with the electronic content they want," said George Coe, President of Baker & Taylor's Library & Education division. "The release of axisReader shows again that Baker & Taylor is committed to developing technologies that boost library circulation and give patrons a superior library experience."
If you have an Android or Smartphone you can load the new axisReader app from the Good e-Reader App Store.
Blio Restructures Company as Media Arc
Posted by: | CommentseMusic and K-NFB Reading, the parent company of Blio, have joined forces and restructured the company today. The new entity is known as Media Arc and will condense all ebooks and audio content under one roof. Blio is well known for providing audio books and technologies that appeal to visually disabled people, and Baker & Taylor is a strong supporter of the enterprise. Over 7 million songs, 40,000 audio books, and 600,000 ebooks are now properly of Media Arc.
According to an email sent to current eMusic partners: "Media Arc's mission is to provide the best digital media discovery experience possible by leveraging cross-content insights to recommend new music and books to avid readers and music collectors alike. This will present both authors and artists with a unique opportunity to expand their fan base, reach new audiences, and of course sell more content. Founded by Futurist Ray Kurzweil with financial backing from former Microsoft CFO Michael Brown and media distribution giant Baker & Taylor, Blio, Inc. has built one of the most technologically advanced e-readers on the market. eMusic is a pioneer of the digital music space, with roots in helping music fans discover their next favorite artist or album dating back to 1998."
eMusic has struggled to find the right business model since first launching in 1998. With the advent of iTunes, Amazon MP3, and Google Play, the company faced stiff competition in the music space. Its subscription model never really caught on, with users buying credits to purchase songs. The company currently has licensing deals with Sony, Warner, Universal, and EMI.
President of ALA Maureen Sullivan Talks about the Shift to Digital
Posted by: | CommentsIn the last few years, the transition to digital ebooks in libraries has been accelerating. Many companies such as 3M, Overdrive, Baker & Taylor, and Recorded Books have all come of age and offer complete solutions for libraries offering electronic books. The American Library Association President, Maureen Sullivan, spoke to Good e-Reader about some of the issues facing libraries in this arena.
Maureen said that during 2012 librarians have become increasingly aware of the benefits of digital content. She said it was essential to stay informed on the different companies that offer solutions. She said its also important to know your audience and geographical location. It is easy for younger librarians to get carried away with wanting to offer ebooks, audio books, and video content to their patrons. Doing your due diligence on what your patrons want is of critical concern. Make no mistake, libraries going the digital route often have to spend close to $10,000 just to get set up, and many small and regional locations don't have that type of money.
Whether libraries shift to digital or not, Maureen says that "libraries may evolve their design and be more modern, or some may even move into a pure digital experience. We will always have libraries and this is a very transitionary period we are all going though, it is very exciting time to be a librarian."
Baker & Taylor Jumps into the Audiobook Business
Posted by: | CommentsBaker & Taylor is now able to offer audiobooks to its industry partners via a new relationship signed with Findaway World. The new program will be called Acoustik and will be accessible with Android and iOS. The real benefactors of this new initiative will be libraries, through which Baker & Taylor will incorporate 40,000 titles into its Axis 360 program.
"The release of Acoustik is an important milestone in giving consumers, retailers and publishers more choices in the delivery of audio content," says David Cully, President of Baker & Taylor Retail Markets. "Digital audio is growing rapidly. Developed by one of the leaders in audio content, this platform, along with the strong partnerships Baker & Taylor has forged, will allow more great content to be available at the fingertips of consumers, who are very eager for it."
You can download the dedicated app for Google Android app from our own Good e-Reader APP Store.
Penguin Partners with Baker & Taylor for Library eBooks
Posted by: | CommentsPenguin has had a tumultuous journey with digital book lending to libraries. In February, the company severed ties with the largest supplier for providing libraries with digital solutions. At the time, Penguin stated that "Looking ahead, we are continuing to talk about our future plans for ebook and digital audiobook availability for library lending with a number of partners providing these services. Because of these discussions, as of February 10, 2012, Penguin will no longer offer additional copies of ebooks and audiobooks for purchase via OverDrive." Really, the whole situation was attributed to Kindle users able to access Penguin content and customers doing business with Penguin's arch-nemesis.
Penguin has really warmed up to the idea of digital ebook lending, forging a new agreement with the 3M Cloud Library earlier in the month. Today, Baker & Taylor announced it is initiating a new pilot program with Penguin to provide a number of American libraries with ebooks. This deal was actually originally signed last month, but these libraries now have the ebooks in their library system.
During the pilot program, Penguin's ebooks will be made available to Los Angeles Public Library and Cuyahoga County Public Library via Baker & Taylor's Axis 360 digital media library platform. Baker & Taylor serves more than 28,000 public, K-12 school and academic libraries in the United States and abroad.
It is very interesting that Penguin expanded on the relationship with Baker & Taylor. If you look at the geography, this is a West Coast experiment. 3M mainly had its pilot program in the New York Area and has since expanded west. This new program will provide many Californian based institutions with a similar selection of digital content.
"With deep roots in the library market and longstanding relationships with Penguin and other leading publishers, Baker & Taylor is a natural fit to work on this exciting project," said George Coe, President of Baker & Taylor's Library & Education division. "We are hopeful that this program will prove successful, so that more of our library customers can offer this tremendous Penguin content to their patrons."
Tim McCall, Penguin's Vice President of Online Sales and Marketing, said, "Penguin is excited to be partnering with Baker & Taylor to expand our library ebook lending pilot program. Millions of additional library patrons will soon be able to access ebooks published by Penguin. We have always been committed to libraries and initiating this phase of the pilot supports our shared goal of bringing great writers to new readers."
Baker & Taylor Releases New Mobile Version of Axis 360
Posted by: | CommentsBaker & Taylor is one of the world's largest distributors of eBooks and multimedia content. Their popular Axis 360 program is a digital media circulation and management platform, used by many of the country's top public K-12 schools and academic libraries. The company announced today they have developed a new mobile version of their Axis 360 service to work on most tablets, phones and e-Readers.
"People are reading more eBooks in more places with more devices, and today's enhancement to Axis 360 ensures that their local library's digital collection is always there for them," said George Coe, President of Library & Education at Baker & Taylor. "To help libraries boost the circulation of digital materials, we have adapted the outstanding features of Axis 360 to the functionality and convenience of mobile devices. This gives patrons the freedom to check out eBooks not just at home, but in line at the grocery store, waiting at a doctor's office, or anywhere else they might want to enjoy content."
Since Baker & Taylor released Axis 360, hundreds of libraries have signed on to leverage the platform's ease of use, broad content offerings, accessibility features and flexibility of formats. Their platform is also held in very high regard from people with vision problems, with their wide accessibility. The company just announced a few weeks ago that they have adopted the popular EPUB format, to make their offerings compatible with all current e-readers, but Amazon.

From a casual browse around the net, I found a game built in Flash which had been ported onto the iPhone. It was a simple puzzle game, but I have never been able to find it again.
From my searches to re-discover that gem, I came across Bubble, a game in a similar vein and probably more refined than the one I was looking for. what makes it even more impressive is the fact that it's all JavaScript based and seems to work flawlessly.
The game doesn't seem to be bloated with lots of code, and works great in FireFox. I haven't tested it in other browsers, but I don't imagine there being many, if any, issues.
The people behind Bubble have also introduced a log stacking game, which isn't too shabby itself! The presentation is lovely and the use of JavaScript is truly inspiring to me. I wouldn't mind taking a crack at re-producing the Bubble game, but I very much doubt I'd ever make it as elegant and easy to use!

Eat a Healthy and Balanced Diet
Some people don't really understand how important eating healthy food is to us. Let's look at some statement:
1. Over a billion people worldwide are now overweight and 300 million are clinically obese. People who are overweight have a higher risk of developing serious health problems in later life, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, type 2 diabetes, bowel cancer, and high blood pressure. Most people put on excess weight because their lifestyles include an unhealthy diet and a lack of physical activity.
2. According to Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, post-menopausal women may reduce their risk of developing cancer by 35% if they eat a healthy diet and lead a healthy lifestyle. This result was based on 29,564 post-menopausal women, aged 55-69 for a research period of 13 years.
3. People who ate three or more servings of fruit per day have 36% lower risk of developing the sight loss than people who ate less than one and a half servings per day. (According to Archives of Ophthalmology)
4. Eat low fat food regularly can reduce the chance of developing heart disease and certain cancers.
5. Calorie reduction can increase life expectancy by up to 30 percent
6.Vitamins can cut cancer death rates by 37%
7. Foods that contain the mineral selenium and plant-based chemical sulforaphane in combination may have a 13 times greater ability to protect against cancer than when the food compounds are used separately.

In his new memoir, Chronicles: Volume One, Bob Dylan unexpectedly dispenses glowing testimonials to the talents of a number of his less heralded and less hip '60s contemporaries. We asked three of the artists who got the great man's imprimatur how they felt about it.
What Dylan Wrote ''Of all the versions of my recorded songs, [Rivers' cover of 'Positively 4th Street'] was my favorite...I liked his version better than mine.''
Rivers' Reaction ''Back then, everybody was doing at least one Dylan song on their albums it was almost mandatory in the '60s,'' says Rivers (perhaps best remembered for ''Secret Agent Man''). ''There were so many Dylan covers, so that's really flattering. I read what he wrote to a musician friend of mine who said, 'Praise from Caesar is praise indeed!''' Rivers remembers nailing the tune (featured on his 1968 album Realization) in one take: ''I was able to sing it as though I had written it myself. I just felt it emotionally.''
What Dylan Wrote ''Koerner was tall and thin with a look of perpetual amusement on his face. We hit it off right away.... Koerner was an exciting singer, and we began playing a lot together. I learned a lot of songs off Koerner....''
Koerner's Reaction ''He's got more memory of us playing together than I do,'' confesses singer-guitarist Koerner (who, with Willie Murphy, recorded the critically acclaimed Running Jumping Standing Still in 1969). ''We were part of a folk scene in an area of Minneapolis known as Dinkytown in 1959. Dylan was one of the more notable characters. Of course, none of us knew what was going to happen to him.'' Surely there was some indication he was bound for glory? ''Well, you could see he had a certain knack. Some people thought he was arrogant.'' Any other memories? ''People have told me we used to live together, and I think he might have stayed at my place for a while. It's hard to remember.''
What Dylan Wrote ''We had the same musical history and came from the same place at the same point of time...I'd always thought of him as a brother.''
Vee's Reaction Dylan was ''working as a busboy at a little café in Fargo, North Dakota,'' when Vee (whose early-'60s hits included ''Take Good Care of My Baby'') hired him as a piano player in 1959. ''It was kind of a joyride the few days he was with us. There was something about that time period we shared. We were both in our youth and starting out.'' Vee still recalls the moment when he realized his former pianist had made good: ''It was the early '60s, and I was looking in the window of a record shop in Greenwich Village. I saw a picture on the cover of a Bob Dylan album, and I thought, 'Holy cow that looks like Zimmerman!'''

Posted By: PattiDate: January-16, 1998 at 08:36:08
My thyroid was partially removed about ten years ago, due to benighn tumors, and I have been on Synthroid ever since. Does anyone know anything about how the gland works in this situation, in terms of percentage of efficiency, or if there is improvement or not with respect to the remaining size? My annual TSH test is normal, with the prescription drug, so should I even be concerning myself with all of this?Thanks in advance.

The Coastal Discovery Museum should be your first stop for all things Hilton Head. This is place to go to gain a better understanding of the Lowcountry's cultural heritage and history, its ecology, and its residents, both past and present.
When the Sea Pines Resort founder Charles Fraser built the Harbour Town Lighthouse in 1970, the skeptical public nicknamed it "Fraser's Folly." Fraser's folly soon became Fraser's foresight. His red-and-white-striped lighthouse soon became the symbol of Hilton Head Island.
Explore Daufuskie Island by golf cart, an experience that is completely different and that you'll remember for a long time. Great for all ages.
Every year over two million visitors flock here to enjoy the warm sunshine and more than 12 miles of beaches that encircle Hilton Head. Beachcombing is a natural activity for all ages. Have fun searching for crabs, shells, sand dollars, starfish, driftwood, and other treasures.
Hilton Head dolphins are as friendly as the people here. They show up in all the populated places – the Atlantic beaches, the sounds, and the creeks. Their graceful, silvery bodies never fail to catch attention as they arc through the waters or pop up to grin at you with their smiling faces.
If you want to see one of the Hilton Head's most intriguing inhabitants, the American alligator, you probably need to go only as far as the nearest fresh water or brackish lagoon.
Both the amateur and the avid birdwatcher quickly recognize Hilton Head as a prime place for birding. Birding is so popular and such an essential part of the Lowcountry experience that most guided ecotours include bird watching as part of their excursions.
The Lowcountry's estuarial ecosystem has led to the preservation of three national wildlife refuges that are open for exploration: Pinckney Island, ACE Basin, and the Savannah Wildlife Refuges.

Kim's birth drama revealed!
June 21, 2013 in Uncategorized
All the dish on Kimye's baby drama, which celeb is going to rehab and sex snaps being circulated by a bitter ex? Jenna Shevel dishes the dirt
Unless you have been living under a rock or in mars you will be surprised to hear that Kim Kardashian popped out her little lady on Saturday- 3 weeks early and in true Kardashian style, it was super dramatic!
But we will get to that- lets discuss the name! Rumours have been swirling for days that Kimye's baby's name would begin in traditional Kardashian style with a K- word on the street was that Kim and Kanye called their little lady Kaidence Donda (after his mom) but alas sadly it ain't true- they named her North, North FRIKKEN West! A trauma and a half- poor kid! And we thought Apple Martin had it bad! I've never.
Anyhoo so here's the dish on North's early arrival! Kim was rushed to hospital after she experienced crazy swelling and high-blood pressure! It hasn't been confirmed but it's been hinted at that Kim had a dangerous condition called preeclampsia- left untreated, preeclampsia can lead to a stroke. The only cure for the dangerous condition is to deliver the baby early! Kim was rushed to the super glam Cedars Sinai Hospital where her babydaddy Kanye West was at her side and she gave birth to her little baby Kimye the next day! A source dished that the baby is "the prettiest, tiniest thing with a full head of straight, dark hair, a cute little nose and Kim's lips, and she's already smiling!" Already a little star from birth- Kris Jenner will be so proud! It all went down when Kim was filming for her reality show (ovbs!). On Friday, Kim started having very strong labour pains, "and went to her gynae., with cameras in tow. Kim was extremely upset because she wasn't due for another month," an insider dished "She was in pain and didn't know what was happening. The camera crew from Keeping Up With The Kardashians had been with her all week! "Kim was taken to Cedars, and cameras followed her there."
Baby daddy, Kanye had been adamant that no cameras be permitted in the delivery room, but that didn't stop them from trying! I bet Kris was on their side! "The camera crew did attempt to accompany Kim into the hospital," the insider revealed. "When Kanye arrived, he told them to get lost, which they did. Kanye didn't want this precious moment to be documented for TV." Totes agree! "Kim's momager, Kris, who was in the delivery room, filmed portions of it for family viewing only," the insider said. "Kanye told Kris when she could film." The arrival of the precious bundle of joy will be featured on the season finale of Keeping Up With The Kardashians but it is highly unlikely that viewers will see the personal footage! Thank goodness, who wants to see that- I mean no-one needed to see Kourtney pulling out Mason- that trauma was one I could have lived without!
So now little North West (really!!!!!!!!) who they apparently calling Nori- which is like seaweed FYI- and her parentals are home from the hospital and I am sure being hounded by Kris on which magazine to debut on! I can't wait to see little Seaweed North! Mazels!
A big loss
This is so sad!! It was such a shock to find out yesterday that The Sopranos star James Gandolfini died suddenly in Italy! James was only 51 years! Proper sad. Apparently he suffered a massive heart attack and died instantly. Gandolfini was in Italy for the 59th Taormina Film Festival in Sicily and was there with his teenage son. Really such a loss!
Oh the dramaz! As you know Rihanna and Chris Brown are over- and it's been a while- thank goodness- but Riri is pining for the 'love of her life' aka Chris! She is devo over his decision to rekindle his relationship with fashion designer aka shmodel Karreuche Tran- um he was banging her while he was still with Riri- FYI Rihanna!
She is so devo over it she is rumoured to be checking into a clinic for a heartbreak therapy course to get over him for good and is apparently likely to begin the 12-step programme – which follows the same format as alcohol and drug rehabilitation – during her upcoming six-week break from her 'Diamonds World Tour' at The Ranch Clinic in Tennessee! Wow- who knew such rehab existed! A sourced dished "Rihanna is still desperately in love with Chris. It's like she's obsessed with him and, although he's told her it's over, she just can't get over him. After talking it through with a psychotherapist, Rihanna is now considering doing a 12-step programme to get rid of her demons." The Ranch's 'Women's Love and Sex Addiction Treatment Programme' helps women with issues with 'attracting troubled, addicted, abusive or otherwise emotionally unavailable partners' using treatments as varied as counselling and equine therapy! Holla- Riri, get involved now! Following a two-year romance with Karrueche, He Who Shall Not Be Named and Rihanna announced they were officially a couple again January 2013 after months of speculation and the confused douchebag claimed he was in love with 'two women' but their turbulent romance has now ended again- clearly Riri needs to kick her Chris habit.
Racy revenge…
This is hilarious! Talk about the old phrase 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned' that shiz is REAL! Demi Moore who was totes screwed over by her former toy boy husband Ashton Kutcher is getting her REVENGE! Word on the street is that Dems is getting her revenge on Ashton by showing off his, um, shortcomings. According to an insider Demi has some revealing images of Ashton on her phone that appear to show he's lacking in a certain department! Mmmm I am shocked by this news! Demi had previously confided, the friend adds, that Ashton was sexy but not the most well-equipped lover she's ever had – and the photos seem to back up the claim. "Demi is still hurting that Ashton cheated and then rebounded so soon after their split," a friend dished. "It could just be the angle, but these photos don't leave a big impression." Demi isn't the first ex to discuss Ashton's manhood. In 2003, the late Brittany Murphy went on a talk show and hinted that Ashton wasn't well-hung and then apologized for the comment! Burn. I think it's hilarious! Maybe this is why he is such a douche! Over compensating! Moral of the story- do not take sex snaps!
The loco returns…
Shame Lindsay Lohan must be feeling irrelevant since she's been holed up in rehab and Amanda Bynes has taken her throne as Hollywood's biggest trainwreck but gurl is having none of it! She is back in the headlines! Linds got the boot from the Betty Ford Center because she was up to no good! Word on the street is that Linds was caught getting it on with a fellow patient in the loo plus she has had a pal bring her some prescription meds which is a big no no! I mean hello, it's rehab! Dramaz! Anyhoo Linds was given the boot and she's now rehabbing in some glam Malibu rehab! Wow, she's really SO serious about this! Not.
Until next week… Jenna xoxo

text: Andrew Meeusen And this year's Opening Day was not without it's own share of drama and great plays! Mark Buehrle's between-the-legs glove flip off the kick save to first to get the out has to rank among the "Web Gems" of 2010 (already!), and my Diamondbacks' Stephen Drew's 4th inning, 2-run inside-the-park home run kicks off what will likely be a much-improved season for the boys in Sedona Red. Then, of course, Albert Pujols' 2 home runs, the 6+ inning no-hitter by Marcum, and a bunch of other nice moments make this Opening Day one to remember! Posted April 5, 2010 at 11:19 pm | Permalink

If you were in a foster care placement in another state, did you move to Minnesota to live and go to school? Suppose I live in another state?If you received an ETV in another state, you must continue to apply to that state for an ETV even if you have moved to Minnesota. If you left a foster care placement in Minnesota and have since moved to another state but have not received an ETV from Minnesota, you should apply in the state where you now live. Go to the National Resource Centers state page to find the contact person in that state. Getting ETV application materialsAll eligible students should apply to the Minnesota ETV program.

Release of Nike Foamposite Galaxy causes melee in Orlando
More than 100 law enforcement officers in riot gear broke up an out-of-control crowd waiting to buy a new basketball shoe timed to be released during the NBA All-Star Game in Orlando and now the release has been canceled.
Authorities said there were no injuries or arrests late Thursday outside the Florida Mall. The crowd began getting unruly around 9:45 p.m. as hundreds of people packed the parking lot as they waited to purchase the $220, limited-edition Nike Foamposite One.
Orlando media reported the crowd was asked to wait across the street when the mall closed at 9 p.m. But one person ran toward Foot Locker and the crowd followed.
Authorities formed a line and used shields to push back the crowd. Deputies on loudspeakers announced there would be no shoe release.
Police said the release had been canceled due to safety concerns.
No one was hurt.
People had been lining up outside stores across the country all week for the shoe's release.
The shoe glows in the dark and the design is inspired by space exploration.
