Daily injections of insulin are not simply a pain in the butt. For diabetics, they are taxing and inconvenient reminders of their disease. Studies of inhaled insulins, in the form of oral and powdered sprays, suggest that they may be nearly as effective as injections are in quickly normalizing blood-sugar levels. While no injection-free insulins have yet been approved by the FDA, doctors--and their diabetic patients--are looking forward to the day when those hated needles can be replaced by inhalers...
...trial in a U.S. jail. But al-Qaeda's talent spotters are certain to have other recruits in place. Last week Scotland Yard's assistant commissioner David Veness warned that the number of British-based Islamic extremists and activists with links to proscribed groups reached three figures.

Increasingly, at that time, videos were a thing to ridicule and even MTV itself was in on the mocking. MTV's since-cancelled series Beavis and Butt-head made fun of videos; VH-1's Pop-Up Videos seemed to say, with its very format, that videos weren't interesting enough to watch anymore unless there was supplementary information to keep you from turning the channel to the Food Network...
