...eight times a day, Abbott researchers have come up with a less painful alternative-- a patch called the Navigator, which is embedded with a wireless transmitter that can read glucose levels once a minute and works for three days at a time before needing to be changed. The continuous sugar-level readings are sent to a small receiver kept in a pocket or purse, and originate from the patch's hairlike filament that penetrates ever so slightly beneath the skin. But it doesn't probe deep enough to draw blood. Instead it measures glucose levels in the body's interstitial...

But, says Josh Howard, the show's executive producer, "We pressed the producer on 'How do you know they're authentic?'" And the producer...
...documents, last week the network’s brass—including Dan Rather himself—issued statements admitting that the documents were of questionable authenticity, if not questionable content. Apparently, the memos included evidence that Bush’s commander was pressured to “sugar coat” the president’s profile and cited other blemishes on Bush’s record; however, after obtaining the opinion of numerous experts, it appears that the memos were most likely written on a typeface not available on the antiquated typewriters of the 1970s—suggesting...
