Police blame some deaths on “excited delirium.” ER docs consider pulling the plug on the term.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:46:17 GMT

By Markian Hawryluk and Renuka Rayasam, KFF Health NewsThe way Sheldon Haleck’s parents see it, the 38-year-old’s only crime was jaywalking. But that March night in 2015, after Honolulu police found him behaving erratically, they pepper-sprayed him, shocked him with a Taser, and restrained him. Haleck became unresponsive and was taken to a hospital. Before his parents could get from their home in Utah to Hawaii, the former Hawaii Air National Guardsman was taken off life support.“Nobody’s supposed to die from something like this,” said Haleck’s father, William.An initial autopsy ruled Haleck’s death a homicide and his family filed a civil lawsuit in federal court against the three officers who tried to remove him from the street. The case should have been “one of the easiest wrongful death cases” to win, said Eric Seitz, an attorney who represented Haleck’s family.But the officers’ attorneys seized on a largely discredited, four-decade-old diagnostic theory called “excited delirium,...

These cinnamon rolls have an unexpected twist in their swirls

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:46:17 GMT

By Claire Saffitz, The New York TimesAfter making and tasting dozens over the course of my baking career, I had pretty much accepted that cinnamon rolls, like scones and madeleines, are good only when eaten fresh from the oven. A roll that is tender, moist and delicious when warm turns brittle, dry and lifeless just hours later at room temperature.But with all of the techniques to produce soft, supple dough textures, I was convinced that a cinnamon roll with a longer shelf life was possible.I set out to develop one that not only maintained much of its moisture and softness after cooling, but one that also has a distinctive, classic-looking swirl and traditional cream cheese icing that wasn’t too sweet.To achieve the pillowy texture I was going for, I turned to an old-fashioned technique that helps enriched doughs (like the kind used to make cinnamon rolls) develop lots of gluten: scalding milk. “Scalding” refers to heating milk to just under a boil and maintaining this temperature u...

Art History Meets the Future with John Simmons at Dot Red

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:46:17 GMT

Photographic history meets an intriguing new model for online art platforms in Dot Red’s exhibition John Simmons: Photography is My Heart. Not a physical gallery but much more than just another “online viewing room,” Dot Red is experimenting with what the internet has to offer in terms of supporting, augmenting, and transcending the conventional gallery experience. Its founder Jeremy Quant comes from the world of gallery tours, fairs, and art walks, and even before the pandemic pivot, the company was looking at ways to leverage new media technology. Dot Red’s format now includes talks, exhibition trailers, broadcast interviews, guided walkthroughs, rich backstories, and the artist’s own voice—literally. “In a world where there’s so much more media attached to things, you’re forced to adapt. And I don’t think it’s a bad thing,” Quant tells L.A. Weekly. “I think it’s actually a really good thing, to offer more to folks who can’t make it i...
