...more than 25 years' experience go through the same simulation. At first, when the monitor indicated a drop in blood pressure, Monica (also a pseudonym) coolheadedly began to identify possible treatments. Within seconds she noticed Ardman's dopamine drip, and she knew it was the answer. "She's so fast," said James Whyte IV, an assistant professor at Florida State's School of Nursing who was controlling the robot from a hidden room where we sat watching...
...dopamine increase. She moved to pick up Ardman's chart, which listed his weight, but just then the simulator's blood pressure dropped radically, prompting Monica to make the same error that Thomas had made: she went for epinephrine. After the drug sent Ardman into ventricular tachycardia, Monica was fast enough to shock him with the defibrillator. But this time poor Mr. Ardman died before the experiment ended. The expert had killed Ardman even faster than the novice...

Hoping to grab more of the long-haul freight business lost to truckers in recent years, rail bosses plan to borrow at least $15 billion to build a dedicated fast-freight corridor between Mumbai, New Delhi and Kolkata (formerly Calcutta). They also have big plans for some of the 1 million acres (420,000 hectares) of land that IR owns along rail lines and around stations and shunt yards. Real estate developers are currently bidding to overhaul the first of 16 major stations. At New Delhi's central station, which is likely worth billions...

Iraq is, after all, a failed state, and the national argument over whether and how fast to get out is largely about the effects of instability if we do. In Tuesday's debate, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama danced around the difficult question of whether they'd re-invade Iraq if al-Qaeda reestablished itself there after the U.S. withdrew...
