Thirty-three years later, fewer women are surprised in the delivery room the way Sheila Hebein was. Screening for Down syndrome became a routine part of U.S. prenatal care around 1990. Typically, women are offered a "triple screen" blood test during the second trimester of pregnancy (see chart). The results are entered into a computer along with the mother's age, and the machine spits out her individual risk of carrying a child with Down. If the risk is high--say more than 1 in 300--she will be offered amniocentesis, a needle-in-the-belly test that allows doctors...

...plus $13 for processing Now you can immortalize special moments without hauling out the heavy hardware. The One-Time-Use Video Camcorder is compact and easy to handle, with enough bells and whistles to give you your money's worth - like the bright 1.4-in. LCD color screen and the playback button that lets you view the last bit you captured and delete it if it's rubbish. The casing is sturdy for a throwaway; the sound and video quality are perfectly acceptable (if a tad grainy at times). Once you have shot the full 20 minutes, you return...

...riskier projects, while distributors would be able to send smaller, alternative films to wider audiences. And with up to 10 films sitting on one server, movie houses could change their programs to suit demand.

Projector makers and server manufacturers that have been selling equipment in ones and twos for almost a decade look for sales to boom. Belgium's Barco is one of three companies - along with Christie and Japan's NEC - that almost...

...terminology. Secular and religious audiences alike will be impressed by the movie’s warm authenticity—the sandy streets of Jerusalem and the fire-like lighting convey an intimate, ancient feel, while the Rands’ real life marriage translates into a genuine, modern relationship on screen. Shuli Rand’s performance is exceptional. After Malli leaves Moshe, he runs down the street and falls to his knees. Without swearing or physical violence, the actor expresses, with understated poignancy, his turmoil, angst, and overwhelmed loneliness. Likewise, Michal Bat Sheva Rand’s depiction of Malli...

...permit, but Bobo and Hutcherson are up to the challenge. I found myself laughing at some of the one-liners delivered by Bobo, a cute combination between a younger Macaulay Culkin and Rupert Grint (Ron from the “Harry Potter” series). His on-screen brother, Hutcherson, displays a charmingly bratty demeanor with such lines as “Get me a juice box, biotch.” The same compliments cannot be given to the grown-up actors in the movie. Dax Shepard, minus his “Punk’d” partner Ashton...
