Researchers believe more kids are using it because it is now sold in purer form--pure enough to snort or smoke. Like Ted, most teens will not inject, but they don't mind taking a puff or a sniff.

There are also occasional flashes of brilliance that hint at Coppola's past genius. What the movie lacks in drama, it often makes up for in comedy. Coppola can't help but accentuate what is absurd about these characters even as he tries to inject them with true emotions. At times, it almost becomes clear what Rainmaker could be--a genre-busting comedy that plays off cliches...

The first baby born from a frozen embryo is Australian. And it was in a Belgian lab that researchers found a way to inject sperm directly into an egg cell, enabling men with insufficient, slow-moving or feeble sperm to become fathers--a powerful new technique known as intracytoplasmic sperm injection, or ICSI...

Others have epidural catheters inserted in their backs, delivering medication into the space around the spinal cord to numb the lower part of the body. Such treatment provides steady control of pain, Berde says, and eliminates the need for the repeated shots most children dread...
