...arrest triggered by an overdose of narcotics, they would have likely used a shot of naloxone, a drug that counteracts opioid overdose, to get the brain back online and the heart beating again, says Connie Meyer, an EMS captain in Johnson County, Kans. In cases where it's not clear whether narcotics are involved - cardiac arrest may be caused by a wide range of factors, including stress - some EMTs will use epinephrine, a shot of adrenaline that jump-starts the heart back into action...
...Markey - is historic is obvious, as it marks the first successful attempt by Congress to address climate change at a national level. But as the bill moves to the Senate, where the virtual requirement for 60 votes means that passage will be even more difficult, it's far less clear that Waxman-Markey is strong enough to meet the long-term threat of global warming.

...let’s be clear about something, I don’t favor a lot of Berlusconi’s policy, but I have to agree with him here: What politicians do in their bedrooms is, frankly, none of the public’s business. My internship requires that I read the Italian papers daily and follow the wires from ANSA (Italy’s version of the AP). While I enjoy this part of my job, I do not want to read anymore about the Italian prime minister’s prostate. As long as he is having...
