In June, after more than three years of fertility treatments and several miscarriages, Cherie and Charles LaMartina of Cheektowaga, New York were ecstatic to find out Cherie was pregnant again.
By August 2007, however, the news was not good after she went in for a routine ultrasound.
"They told me I that I was carrying twins, but there was no heartbeat for one of them. One was at 12 weeks, and the other had just stopped forming. The second fetus had no organs. We were devastated."
Cherie was sent to a fetal testing center at a local hospital in Buffalo, NY, for continued observation. "I was told that the other twin could be absorbed by the body."
But as 22 weeks gestation approached, she noticed the twin's measurements were growing larger. "The Fetal Testing Unit had never seen it before. Everyone was puzzled. Why wasn't the nonviable twin getting smaller?"
Two weeks later, further testing detected a serious problem called twin-reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP sequence). TRAP sequence occurs when there is a monochoriotic pregnancy in which the fetuses are contained within the same (mono) outer membrane of the sac that surrounds the fetus (the chorion). Joined by a large blood vessel between their umbilical cords, one twin usually lacks an upper body and heart, while the other twin can be normal.
"Reversed perfusion" refers to the abnormal pumping action provided by the viable or "pump twin," as it pumps blood through the nonviable twin. As a result, the pump twin's heart works extra hard, risking heart failure and even death.
"We were referred and rushed to the Fetal Center at Children's for further diagnosis," says Cherie. "They told us the healthy twin was pumping blood into the nonviable twin."
At that point, the couple also learned the extra amniotic fluid and the pressure on the mother's heart was likely to put her into early labor. If they did nothing, the healthy, pump twin was likely to be born before 28 weeks and have a slim chance of survival.
The couple also was advised that there was a high possibility of chromosomal abnormality in the healthy fetus. "So we also had to worry about this."
In Buffalo, the couple had been told it probably was too late for surgery. CHOP's fetal team, however, believed that TRAP sequence surgery was still an option — although it would increase the likelihood of early labor.
"We had to weigh the choices, but we made the decision to have the surgery within five minutes of talking to the team," says Cherie. Three days later, Fetal Center surgeons did a procedure to cut off the blood supply to the twin with no heart beat, which would help the viable, pump twin stay in the uterus longer. Excess amniotic fluid also was extracted.
Cherie was monitored for several weeks after the surgery, staying at the Ronald McDonald House. She then returned home to her local physicians. "At one point they rushed me in for a steroid shot to mature the baby's lungs in case she came early. I also had high blood pressure, but not toxemia," she recalls.
Taylor underwent lifesaving fetal surgery.
A Cesarean was scheduled, and on January 24, 2007, Taylor was born at 36 and a half weeks gestation. She weighed 5 lbs., 10 oz. "All the NICU doctors were there. When they saw her, they said she was fine. Her lungs were fine and her sucking reflex was good," says Cherie.
An emotional time followed when the second twin, McKenzie, was born. She was just five inches long. "We had a ceremony and burial for her," says Cherie.
Now Taylor is an active 4-month-old toddler, grabbing everything and putting it in her mouth and trying to stand. "She's the happiest baby I ever saw," says her proud mother. "She smiles all day long. We are so blessed."
Cherie says she wouldn't recommend any place other than the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for a fetal-related problem. "You will be so well taken care of. They make you feel like things are going to be okay.
"Without the surgery we had a slim chance for Taylor. Children's pretty much saved her life, and I can't express my gratitude enough."

Why Women Go Green
In most political parties, except in the Green Party, men far outnumber women. Since their inception, Green Parties worldwide have boasted a disproportionately high number of women members. In Europe, however, Green women also hold the majority of high-level leadership positions. For example, 32 out of 55 German Green Party parliament members are women...Go to page >
Does environmental destruction politicize women?
Why is it that most recent conversations about the "planet in peril," including deforestation, climate change, natural disasters and changing water levels, rarely reference women? Women are disproportionately impacted by changes in the environment. And, with indigenous knowledges in tow and generations of experience working the land, gathering wood and fetching water, women bring unique, effective and sustainable solutions to environmental problems...Go to page >

Philadelphia Police say the anonymous tip of a suspicious person on board a US Airways plane appears to have been a hoax.
Working off of an anonymous tip, police, members of the bomb squad and federal agents descended on Philadelphia International Airport for a report of a suspicious man that was on board a US Airways flight.
In an 11 a.m. news conference, investigators say this appears to be a hoax and that there was never an emergency situation. Police say the person behind this incident now could face "serious" federal charges.
Flight 1267 departed at 8:00 from PHL. It was headed to Dallas when it was turned around shortly after take-off.
After returning to PHL, bomb sniffing dogs and agents immediately searched the plane.
Fox 29 crews at the scene report a man was escorted off the plane. Police say the man was not carrying anything dangerous or illegal. He has since been booked to travel on another flight.
Throughout the incident, the airport remained open and flights continued to take off and land.
Investigators say the plane has since been cleared.
Police say the entire incident began at 7:30 a.m., when Philadelphia Police airport headquarters received a phone call that alleged a suspicious man was attempting to board a flight leaving the airport. Police say the caller gave a name. They are not releasing any other information about the wording of the call or on the individual who placed the call.
Police say the information received from the call was then passed on to members of the FBI, TSA and other investigators at the airport.
A decision was then made to bring the flight back to the airport.

It's hard to grade endurance routes. The opening moves to the rest seem to have a 10a-b consensus, though I heel hook left and it can feel like 5.8 after all the runs I've done. I figure finishing the route is a harder than those starting moves. It has a few big moves that can wear you down, and no great rest. End pump is alot under that of Rock-About (10d); Rock-About probably deserves an 11a.

Great for pregnancy!
I took this during pregnancy and I loved it. It kept my iron levels up and it is a tiny little thing to swallow. I was very thankful for that considering all the other vitamins I was taking. I listed the ones I took below. I delivered a very healthy baby boy who is way ahead in the growth charts now at 6 months. He was so strong the day he was born he could lift his head on his own. Isn't that something?! I blame it on the great supplements I took. I'm continuing my supplements as I am still breastfeeding.

Feb 9 (Reuters) - A nuclear power plant in Massachusetts lost power and automatically shut down late on Friday during a massive blizzard across the northeastern United States, the nuclear regulator said.
The reactor at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant in Plymouth closed down with no problems and there was no threat to public safety, an official at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said.
'There was no impact on plant workers or the public,' he said.
The snowstorm, which continued on Saturday, disrupted thousands of flights and left more than 200,000 people without power in Massachusetts alone.
It shut down roads and mass transit and blanketed the region with heavy snowfall.

Texas, Wisconsin Renew Budding Rivalry |
Colleges - Men's DI College |
This game could be a preview of the D1-AA sweet 16 regional championship. Both teams are conference champions with 7-0 records. The teams met at 7s nationals in December where Wisconsin beat Texas 19-7. ESPN affiliate The Longhorn Network will be recording tonight's match for future rebroadcast. The Midwest Conference champion Wisconsin Badgers are on a spring break tour prepping for the USA Rugby D1-AA national championship – they will host the first round of the tournament at the Madison United Rugby facility in Cottage Grove Wisconsin on April 28. Texas will be competing in the same regional qualifier after winning the Southwest Rugby conference, potentially setting the table for a third meeting between the teams. Texas plays defending D1-AA champion Davenport in the first round. Wisconsin will play the Heart of America champion. This game is also a preview of a possible matchup at the 2012 USA 7s Collegiate Rugby Championship in June. This will be the Longhorns second trip to the CRC. In 2011 the Longhorns advanced to the tournament quarterfinals before losing to Army 19-7. The Badgers are CRC newcomers invited on the strength of their performance in the inaugural Big 10 7s tournament. The Badgers defeated Penn State and Ohio State en route to that title and are certainly a contender. It's worth noting that Wisconsin tied Life University during USA Rugby's national championships in December. "When we started playing 7s last summer it was the first time playing 7s for a lot of guys," said Wisconsin captain Ben Knight. "So we really had to preach the fundamentals. I think that helped everybody and I think that helped us in 15s, too. The idea that we all made sure we had the fundamentals down was good." There's a further connection between the two teams: Texas assistant coach Jacob Liberman played college rugby at Wisconsin for current Wisconsin head coach Skip Heffernan. "Texas and Wisconsin are both up-and-coming programs benefiting from the explosion of high school rugby in our states," said Liberman. "I have a lot of respect for Skip and what he's done with the Badgers. But our loss to Wisconsin at 7s nationals left a bad taste in our mouth. We want to settle the score." |

Autism has no single, known cause. Given the complexity of the disease, and the fact that symptoms and severity vary, there are probably many causes. Both genetics and environment may play a role.
One of the greatest controversies in autism is centered on whether a link exists between autism and certain childhood vaccines, particularly the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine. Despite extensive research, no reliable study has shown a link between autism and the MMR vaccine.
Avoiding childhood vaccinations can place your child in danger of catching and spreading serious diseases, including whooping cough (pertussis), measles or mumps.

14 Questions from the Community
Will it work ok if I mount the handle facing forward, not to the side as pictured here?
How far will the hose reach and can you add a longer one?
does this faucet rotate left -right or is it stationary
when they say low lead compliant shouldn't that be lead free or what do they mean
A. The Danze D457144 is low lead compliant, it meets all lead law requirements for California and Vermont. Every faucet we call low lead compliant could be defined as "lead free" if the faucet has an average lead content of 0.25% or less according the bill AB1953 and S152.
is this faucet all metal (stainless steel model)including the pull out
What is the Danze D491342 Air Gap/what does it do and should I have it with the Danze Faucet D457144?
A. The Danze D491342 is a part that connects to your dishwasher so if for some reason it begins to overflow some of the water will be diverted to the air gap. This allows the water that is diverted to go down the sink instead all over the floor.
Does the Danze faucet have a magnetic part for the sprayer to stay in?
Will it fit in a 1 3/8" faucet hole in a sink?
Does the spray change back to stream using trigger or only when you turn water off?
Does it come with a deck plate? Or is one available to buy separately?
Which way do you rotate the faucet to get cold vs. hot water?
does it have a matching bar sink faucet?
Does the water come out at an angle or straight down? If at an angle, how mch of one?
How do you change from steady stream to spray?

AP News in Brief at 4:58 a.m. EST
Woman hit with federal, state charges connected to guns used in NY firefighter ambush slayings
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — William Spengler raised no alarms in prison for 17 years and for more than a decade afterward. Well-spoken, well-behaved and intelligent, his demeanor was praised by four straight parole boards that nevertheless denied him parole, worried that bludgeoning his 92-year-old grandmother with a hammer showed a violent streak that could explode again.
After his sentence was up in 1996, he stayed out of trouble until 2010, police said Friday. That's when Spengler went to a sporting goods store with a neighbor's daughter, picked out a Bushmaster semiautomatic rifle and a shotgun and had her buy the guns that the convicted felon couldn't legally possess. On Monday, he used the weapons to ambush firefighters lured to a blaze he set at his house in upstate Webster, killing two people and wounding three others before killing himself.
On Friday, state and federal authorities charged the woman who bought the guns, 24-year-old Dawn Nguyen, with lying on a form that said she would be the owner of the guns she bought for Spengler.
The charges involve the semiautomatic rifle and the 12-gauge shotgun that Spengler had with him Monday when volunteer firefighters Michael Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka were gunned down. Three other people, including two other firefighters, were wounded before the 62-year-old Spengler killed himself. He also had a .38-caliber revolver, but Nguyen is not connected to that gun, police said.
Investigators were still working Friday to confirm their belief that a body found in Spengler's burned home was that of the sister he lived with, Cheryl Spengler, 67.
Contract extension averts dockworkers strike — for now — at East and Gulf coast ports
NEW YORK (AP) — Dockworkers along the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico agreed Friday to extend their contract for more than a month, averting a weekend strike that could have crippled major ports from Boston to Houston and bottled up billions of dollars' worth of cargo.

The Toshiba Thrive's very aggressive pricing gives it an advantage over most other tablets. Its grooved back, full HDMI and USB support, full SD card slot, and replaceable battery justify its very bulky design. Also, its built-in file management system makes finding and accessing files in Honeycomb easier.
The Thrive's bulky design and hefty weight are not for everyone. Also, awkward back camera placement and a difficult panel removal process make us wish more time had been spent in the design phase. The LED lights on the bezel can be distracting.
The Toshiba Thrive is a bulky but aggressively priced Honeycomb tablet that earns its girth with full port support and a removable battery.
Average review score based on 32 user reviews

I have purchased two of these tablets in the last 4 months, and they are very easy to use. Both were purchased for my 7 and 11 year old daughters, since they can use them for e-readers, cameras and video, playing music, writing diaries and stories (inspiring young authors), and of course, playing games. I purchased the Kensington KeyFolio bluetooth wireless keyboards to make text entry easier. Installed keyboard in less than 10 seconds.
Here is what we like about them:
-Very easy to download apps from the Google Marketplace. Makes shortcuts for them on the desktop
-Battery life is between 4~8 hours, depending on the app running and the screen brightness
-A bit thicker than other tablets, but more durable. Already dropped a few times from 3 feet onto carpet without any issue
-Excellent forward and rear facing cameras - much higher resolution than an Ipad 2
-SD memory slot (not microSD, however), so adding memory is very easy (not possible with Ipad 2)
Here is what we don't like about them:
-Capacitive touch is great, but cannot draw as finely as you can on resistive
-It is a bit thick, as compared to other tablets
-Is harder to use as an e-reader, due to the weight of holding it in your hands.
A great transition for a longtime laptop user. While bulky for a pad, it is smaller than my ebook. As a trade off for a little more bulk, you get usb, sdcard and hdmi ports. It is great to not only stream a movie but to watch that movie on a presention projector or monitor. This device instantly recognized my usb keyboard and wireless presentation mouse. Great for viewing and sending pictures from my camera's sd card. I was concerned with the 8GB unit having less than 3GB user storage. It has not been a problem with available cloud storage or the ability to use data from SD cards and flash drives. With the ability to access my office pc, I have very little need for my laptop and use this daily.
I love it. It has a full size USB port so I can hook up my Passport external drive and have 250 GB extra storage space to go along with the 64GB full size SDHC card that I bought. I get about 5-6 hrs of battery life but no sweat, you can always buy another spare battery and keep that as a back-up. I found the cheapest price with shipping included was Amazon.com for the battery. The screen resolution is not as sharp as the iPad but heck you are spending half the price. You have trade-offs but for me this was the one.
I own one as well. It is a great device. The only drawback i have is that you cannot use a portable harddrive. Only flash drive or Memory card of max 32gb. pictures are clear as well as music. Easy down load apps. Love it until oI get the Excite at Christmas this year. I owuld not have IPad for price and USB/Memory card slots. Great battery life as well depending on what you are doing.
I love the Toshiba Thrive,it's pretty good,but the problem I found out after having it is it's pretty heavy,when you are laying in bed,after awhile it gets to be a struggle holding it and it doesn't have a micro sd slot,just an sd slot,but it's great for the most part,just now after having it,I know to buy a much lighter weight tablet.I bought it because it's like a workhorse of tablets,it holds a charge for several days and that I liked just didn't like how heavy it was and it's not as bright as other tablets are and not as crisp to look at but this is a tablet I'm learning on so it makes up for everything,it's great to give to a child or teenager,the backing is very grippable and doesn't slide out of your hands like my crappy cheapy other tablet does.

Great price
By Stormy
from Ontario
I bought a set on clearance and loved them. I went back on line and they were still some available so I bought three more sets as gifts. I have other RJ Graziano pieces and so far have not been diappointed.
Very Disappointed
By Wareena
from Windsor (Ontario)
When I read other reviews based on this product, I was more encouraged to buy it. However, when I bought and received the product, I was extremely disappointed with the size. I was told it was a small size, but instead I received somewhat a large size that was too big for me. Also, the colours of the bracelets was not silver as stated, the colours were dark and had an onyx colour. Very disappointed in this experience.
By Betty O`Handley
from Chilliwack, B.C.
I bought these bangles in the silver tone. When I put them on,"stunning". The picture of the bangles look nice but when you have them on its so much more beautiful.I am so glad I bought them.Thank You R.J.Graziano and TSC. The price is a bonus.
Really Nice Bracelets
By Theresa
from Calgary
I bought both a silver & gold set 1 1/2 years ago as the showstopper & I like them except the 4 smaller bracelets are quite small. The rest are great. I wear them all together & I'm usually a white gold/silver wearer, but I'm really liking the gold look as well. I'm thinking of getting another set just because the price is soo good.
By S
from Ottawa
I took a chance and ordered these (in steely glam) in small/medium because large size was not available. I am able to get them on so will be keeping them. They are great quality for the price. I now have 3 sets of RJ's bangles and get compliments every time I wear them.
By Paula!
from Sudbury, ON
I bought these bangels for a friend's birthday and she absolutely loves them. They are the perfect match to her R.J. boyfriend watch.

Bangles, bangles and more bangles!
By NANCY
from ANCASTER
I purchased both gold and silver tones. Very nice, especially at the sale price. I wear all ten together or just a few worn with other pieces. I have only worn each colour a few times. So far I have had no issues with missing stones or the finish coming off.

good looking bangle..for a while
By NORMA
from TORONTO
i really liked this set of bangles. I bought both colors and wear them a lot.But as with the RJ bamboo bangles I have found that the finish wears off. Maybe a reaction to my skin as, so far, I don't see others oomplaining of this for the 'steely glam' set. Also maybe the rubbing as I put them on..always a bit of a struggle to get them over my hand, but if I get the large bangles they are too big.The price was good though as a showstopper and for me looks like the bangles will get about a year of wear.

Man i feels old thinking about Wing Commander. This guy is a legend. Can't wait for Space citizen
Has it really been 10 years since WC?? God, I loved that game (there were two -no?). The cut scenes with live actors just pushed the storyline along like no other flight sim since. Tnx Chris- PC'ers are not dead.
Yep, I'll be watching for this for sure. Haven't played a great space sim in a looooong time, since Wing Commander: Kiralthi Saga.
Being able to walk around on your ship, man turrets, board enemy/friends ships, and shoot bad/good guys, yup that does it... If they pull this off to half of what they plan I'll buy it. Any more and I'll buy all the expansions and hit up the cash store.
I hope Egosoft and the X team wakes up after this. Their latest run of crap news about game mechanics for X:Rebirth, and then over a year of info black out is just bad.
I do not think buy gold is a good way ,but if you have no time to get it in game,i can recommend you a site www.oscargamer.com, it is a good site that i often buy wow gold from ,cause i have no time ,so hope can help you
He made Freelancer, one of the greatest space adventures of all times. I am so excited that he decided to return again !!!
Dear Mr Roberts,
Any chance you guys could port the old Wing Commander and Freelancer games over to the iPad? thanks!! :)
and from early pics it looks like Chris will be doing what he did with wing commander, welcome back messiah !! and he likes uncharted 2 !!!
wonder if in the actual interview they talked about WC saga since he was talking about modding and it was featured in the video
Oh, the memories, loved all his games, they were well made. Still have all of them in my collection.
I feel like bro fisting anybody who even knows about Freelancer. I thought space shooters were dead, and then this guy comes back to teach everybody!
I haven't really enjoyed a space combat sim in a LONG time, always wishing they were more like Wing Commander/Freelancer. I hope he comes back as good as he was - his games were fantastic!
i cant wait for the Space sim game to come back.....
Evochron Mercenary has been keeping me sane but i would love to see a big budget Space Sim/Action game :-D
What he is going to give you guys The Wing Commander, Privater series plus more like a world you can get lost in with cutting edge graphics and gameplay with all the elements to make it the most enjoyable experiance you will ever have.
Wing commander... what a masterpiece. Privateer... what a ride... I'm so old...
Crossing my fingers that he'll achieve everything he wants with this game. Just can't wait.
his accent is really weird. it says he grew up in manchester but his accent seems like its from somewhere else... anyways awesome! the space adventure genre may have its much needed comeback!
A legend of space combat gaming returning, can't wait to see what he's got on offer.
Don't expect a multiplat either, this guy always pushed the boundries of PC hardware capabilities
Why cant I watch Gamespot videos anymore? T.T It doesnt start... Updated Flash Player and still doesnt work. Tried with both Chrome and Firefox, still nothing... help? T.T
I'm liking this guy more and more, every time i read/see him talk about gaming.
Expectations rising for his game :)
@EvilShabazz yeah those were great games same with FreeSpace and I believe there are people working on a new one that looks pretty cool and it is coming on the vita and pc
X3 series holds the title for the best space sim ever. X rebirth is coimg out in December and looks to be epic. Chris, you have dome very big shoes to fill.
@sovereign314 Why's everybody here ignoring Freelancer? It's probably most likely to resemble Freelancer but this time he'll be able to include everything he wanted to.
yeah his accent does sound weird. Its not a manchester accent. But i do detect some "English" and some Canadian

One line review: I can't believe this is my first time watching the whole thing.
I picked up the soundtrack on a lark about a year ago from the library and quite enjoyed it. I figured with that "sing-a-long sound of music" craze it had to be good and I was right. I was pretty sure I'd seen the film when I was a kid but I guess I was wrong. It's so much better when you have an authentic half-german singing along with all the songs beside you.

[WERTHAM CONFESSES: Without a word of a lie, I actually become physically ill whenever this monstrosity is exhumed for the delectation of the blue-hairs. But then again: You can't argue with success.
Its director was the editor of "Citizen Kane." Its screenwriter was the author of "North by Northwest." Its composers were the most successful songwriting team in American theater history. And "The Sound of Music" was the movie that everybody hated but the people.
Christopher Plummer, Captain von Trapp himself, is said to have called it "The Sound of Mucus." Robert Wise, the director, worried with Julie Andrews, the eternal Maria Poppins, about what they could do to remove a spoonful (or two) of the schmaltz. Pauline Kael, who would become the reigning film critic of her era, denounced it as "the sugar-coated lie that people seem to want to eat."
And yet. And yet 40 years ago this Memorial Day weekend, "The Sound of Music" was not just the summer movie of 1965. It was the spring, fall and winter one, too, and in inflation-adjusted dollars, it remains the third-biggest-grossing film of all time at the domestic box office, according to Box Office Mojo. It hit the Billboard Top 40 video sales chart shortly after it became one of the first movies ever released on home video in 1979, and still holds the chart's longevity record, of more than 300 weeks and counting.
Twentieth Century Fox plans to release a special 40th-anniversary two-DVD edition in November, with new documentary material (including interviews with Ms. Andrews, other cast members and creators) prepared by Michael Kantor, who directed the PBS series "Broadway: The American Musical" last year.
What explains such colossal success? "It's mainly the script," said Mr. Wise, who will turn 91 in September and once estimated that he had been asked that question an average of twice a week since the film's premiere on March 2, 1965. "It's a family film, nothing more universal."
When Ernest Lehman, the highly regarded screenwriter of movies like "Somebody Up There Likes Me" and "Sweet Smell of Success" told his friend Burt Lancaster that he was working on "The Sound of Music," Lancaster responded, "Jesus, you must need the money!"
But, in hindsight, a compelling case can be made for "The Sound of Music," as the last picture show of its kind, a triumph of craftsmanship and the apogee of the studio system that produced the kind of entertainment that dominated mid-20th-century mass culture. When it opened, it displaced "Gone With the Wind" (by then already 26 years old), as the all-time box-office champion in nominal dollars, a position it held for seven years through Vietnam, assassinations and political turmoil until "The Godfather" knocked it off in 1972.
It was at once the salvation (and very nearly the death knell) of its own studio, rescuing Fox from the financial disaster of "Cleopatra" but also sending the studio in quest of similar surefire successes that wound up as famous failures, like Rex Harrison's "Doctor Dolittle" and "Hello, Dolly!" (It's hard to hold a moonbeam in your hand.)
With its breathtaking Austrian locations and complex outdoor musical sequences, "The Sound of Music," building on Mr. Wise's film of "West Side Story" before it, had the bad luck to liberate the film musical forever from the soundstage-bound conventions that once forced pigeons to fly into painted backdrops in "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," at the very moment that four nightingales from Liverpool were helping to change mass musical taste forever.
A film that was easy to mock as stale and conventional in the wake of the French Nouvelle Vague (and on the brink of "Bonnie and Clyde") is far easier to appreciate now for its old-fashioned gloss and arch performances from silken pros like Eleanor Parker, who played the Baroness with the poise of an early Avedon model; Peggy Wood, the Mother Abbess, who had made her Broadway debut in "Naughty Marietta" in 1910; and Anna Lee, the doughty veteran of the John Ford stock company who played Sister Margaretta.
From the moment on Broadway in 1959 that Mary Martin, the first Maria, sang that her day in the hills had come to an end, critics dismissed "The Sound of Music" as the least original work of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, the men who did more than any other to bring the Broadway musical - arguably America's most original art form, together with jazz - to full flower in path-breaking works like "Oklahoma!" "Carousel" and their Pulitzer Prize-winning "South Pacific."
"Not only too sweet for words but almost too sweet for music," Walter Kerr wrote in The New York Herald Tribune.
But from the very beginning, the public lapped it up. Ms. Kael lost her job as movie critic for McCall's after her infamous panning, and the film has since survived innumerable television reruns (Ronald Reagan once skipped reading an economic-summit briefing book to watch it), cast reunions and high-camp "Rocky Horror"-style sing-alongs that began in London in 1999, with audience members dressed as brown-paper packages and tea with jam and bread.
The first major Austrian production of the stage version (quite different from the film) is now playing at Vienna's venerable Volksoper, where it has received no better than mixed reviews but immense popular acclaim. Worldwide, "The Sound of Music" alternates with "Oklahoma!" as the most-produced Rodgers and Hammerstein property, and even an informal tally would suggest that, over all, it has been the most profitable, said Bert Fink, a spokesman for the Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization in New York.
One of the main achievements of Mr. Lehman's screenplay was to discard some of the lesser songs from the Broadway production, and re-order others, including "My Favorite Things" (which was sung onstage to Maria by the Mother Abbess, not by Maria to the von Trapp kids during a thunderstorm) and "Do-Re-Mi," which was sung the moment Maria met the children, not all over Salzburg in a still-thrilling sequence painstakingly worked out by Mr. Wise and Saul Chaplin, a veteran Hollywood music director and the movie's associate producer.
"Nobody has the magic wand, or there'd be movies like this done all the time," said Ted Chapin, president of the Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization, who estimates that anniversary-related activities surrounding "The Sound of Music" have occupied more than 90 percent of his time in the last two months. "In retrospect, it's a very good story, with very good tunes. The score doesn't really sound like a score written by 60-year-old men. There's a kind of youthfulness and honesty to the songs, about how to learn music, but also how to break down barriers. It doesn't sound like someone's trying to phony something up."
Even Ms. Kael implicitly acknowledged the movie's power.
"Whom could it offend?" she asked in her famous McCall's drubbing. "Only those of us who, despite the fact that we may respond, loathe being manipulated."
Forty years and a lot less innocence later, in the era of film as theme-park thrill ride and prepackaged comic-book sequel, a little artful manipulation seems a small enough price, and "The Sound of Music" a big enough blessing. Let it bloom and grow.
(DVD) (Who knows how many viewings anymore, 7 Wise films seen)
As a self-described devotee of all films that quirky, obscure and/or subtitled, what is it about this monstrous sugar-coated musical that draws me in again and again? And the thing is, the more I see it, the more I like it-- and I'll be damned if I didn't write a 3000 word plus review on the new DVD release for DVD Verdict!
There's so much to like: Julie Andrew's relentlessly upbeat Maria, Christopher Plummer's nuanced (with just a dash of subversiveness) interpretation of the Captain, the glorious music, the visual splendor, the innocence... but what really struck me this time around was how capably the film is directed by veteran director Robert Wise. At it's core THE SOUND OF MUSIC is so tightly constructed, which is the only way that the entire film doesn't overwhelm itself with sugar, sunshine and song. But at the same time, the massive scope of the film seems to be subsumed by the intimate story, and so the film doesn't appear at first glance to be as technically innovative as it is.
A class act-- but I've had to "grow up" to realize it. A favorite thing indeed.
NOTE: And the new 40th Anniversary DVD release is really spectacular. It's one of the best I've come across, and certainly the best I've reviewed so far for DVD Verdict.

Nationally nearly 60% of both males and females graduate high school adequately prepared to pursue further study in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). However, females typically make up around 15% of college freshmen STEM majors. Nationally, women make up around 10% of computer science majors.
Working to increase the success of educational systems to support girls and women in STEM fields, Iowa was recently selected as one of two states to join the National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity's STEM Equity Pipeline Project.
In 2005, females made up 17% of participating students in Project Lead the Way courses, Iowa's primary pre-engineering curriculum in high schools. In 2006, the number of sites where Project Lead the Way was offered expanded, but the percentage of participating females decreased to 15.1%. Women make up 57% of Iowa's college and university enrollments, and have a higher educational attainment then men. Women comprise 51% of Iowa's population.
The 2006 American Community Survey, shows the following differences between the annual salaries of men and women working full-time in Iowa in the following occupations:
Female Responsive Green Energy Unit for middle school teachers
Women in Science and Engineering at University of Iowa
Program for Women in Science and Engineering at Iowa State University
Society of Women Engineers- East Central Iowa
Women and Minorities in STEM Programs at Iowa's Public University and in the High School Program Project Lead the Way
STEM Organizations at Iowa's Community Colleges (Vision 2020)

Transit Television Network, a subsidiary of Torstar (owner of Canada's biggest daily newspaper), has filed for bakruptcy.
In Milwaukee and other cities where it set up on buses, TTV seems universally loathed for reasons mentioned by this LA blogger: http://metroriderla.com/2006/12/03/transit-tv-how-we-hate-thee/
Worst of all, TTV has been an infection in public space. As a local rider puts it, TTV content screams one message over and over: "You are a Bus Rider; You are a Loser. This xxxxxx will save you from your misery. $19.95 and operators are standing by." Or a free PC by giving up your phone number and checking account number. Or the scams that came to us with the SAME actor, different names for the scams, but just call 800 xxx xxxx and your life will be turned around -- $500,000 from your home in one month. No one in their right minds would call such a number but that shouting sent a clear coherent message: You Are A Loser. And that message has pervaded bus service for the last decade.
My question: is there any way the existing hardware might be repurposed by creative groups to have a more publicly edifying message?
I just started riding the bus regularly and I promise if I have to sit through another ad for the snuggie I might lose my mind. The TV make people just sit there without speaking to eachother. (Who wrote that poem about the abandonment of the human voice?)
Anyhow. Here's some clearer thoughts.
+the map is very useful when you are on a route you don't know
+sometimes I hear about things in LA I haven't heard of.
-snuggie commercials
-loud and obnoxious
I would love to see route targeted programming.
* brief ads from companies located along the route
*events or calendar listings for the area
*reports on local museums, non profits, parks, gardens, arts, etc..
*programs about the area's history
*slideshows of paintings, video art, dance, etc...
I don't own a TV personally, so I would actually like the see these 100% done away with, but if we can use them as a resource for artists or local economy not junk. Let's do it.
