LIVE Musical/Film Event Aug 28th Traverse City!
Live Event featuring
The Accidentals and One Simple Question
at the Traverse City State Theater
A special live event screening of award-winning film One Simple Question with a musical performance by the composers, The Accidentals, followed by a discussion with the creative team is coming to Traverse City State Theater on August 28 at 1pm.
In 2014 the citizens of Northern Michigan were invited to be a part of the filmmaking process by participating in a test screening and discussion of the film's rough cut. With your feedback the film was completed and has been touring the country ever since. It won Made-In-Michigan Film Festival Best Documentary Feature, Mountain Film Seven Summits Award, Blue Ocean Film Festival Best Emerging Filmmaker Finalist, and more.
One Simple Question was filmed in the Canadian Maritime, but post production was completed in Kalkaska, Michigan. The event opens with a musical performance by The Accidentals, Savannah Buist and Katie Larson of Traverse City who composed much of the original film score. Writer, producer, and star of the film Teresa Carey, a Kalkaska native, will be in attendance for a Q&A following the film.
One Simple Question tells the story of one couple who sheds the comforts of land to begin a life at sea on a small sailboat. Their goal, simple yet elusive, is to sail north until they find the Petermann Ice Island – a record breaking iceberg. Yet One Simple Question is more than just an adventure-doc. Infused between scenes of sleepless nights, thick fog, rough weather, and icy northern waters, is insight from top scientists and renowned world voyagers.
The Petermann Ice Island is the biggest Greenland iceberg in the last five decades. It was 4 times the size of Manhattan and has a thickness up to half the size of the Empire State building and drew the attention and concern of climatologists internationally.
"The freshwater stored in [the Petermann] ice island could keep the Delaware or Hudson rivers flowing for more than two years. It could also keep all U.S. public tap water flowing for 120 days," glaciologist Dr. Andreas Muenchow (in the film) said.
Created through the collaboration between new filmmakers Teresa and Ben Carey with director Derek Alan Rowe, founder of Doctrine Creative, One Simple Question, like the iceberg itself, has so much more below the surface. It is at once a thrilling adventure, an exploration in the lifecycle of icebergs and their connection to the world, and a surprising twist.
Producer/Writer Teresa Carey graduated from Kalkaska High School in 1997 and University of Michigan in 2004. She went on to travel extensively utilizing her array of talents and professions including writer, speaker, and ocean-going sailing captain. In 2011 she added filmmaker to that list when she was approached by Director Derek Allan Rowe, founder of Doctrine Creative a Florida-based production company with Disney, Nickelodeon, and indie credits. Derek was interested in the lifestyle of small boat ocean voyaging and asked Teresa to collaborate on a adventure-documentary.
The primary team included Teresa, her now husband Ben Carey, and Derek. However, Teresa will say it took a community to create. "We relied heavily on the generosity, talents, and enthusiasm of over 200 people. They became the film's composers, critics, funders, volunteers, cameramen, editors, artists, and even body doubles," says Teresa.
The film became profoundly collaborative with each primary team member taking a role in all aspects of creation. They set up a makeshift post-production studio in a hot, dusty attic in Kalkaska, Michigan, editing from sunrise to sunset with several box-fans constantly blowing to keep the hard drives cool. Thankfully they took one day off to attend the Traverse City Film Festival where Savannah Buist and Katie Larson were performing at The State Theater.
Memorized by their blend of folk, pop, and rock, Teresa chased them backstage and invited them to the attic office to discuss composing for One Simple Question. Crammed into a 10×10 room, sitting on folding chairs, and surrounded by box fans, the agreement was made and Katie and Savannah joined the team. Since then The Accidentals have added drummer Michael Dause and have gone on to build a large following and the acclaim of Billboard staff who named then as one of the top breakout groups in 2015.
The indie film was first released as an official selection of the Blue Ocean Film Festival and a finalist in the emerging filmmaker category. It continues to gain momentum through festivals and private screenings.
The reasons to attend this event are endless. One Simple Question is a local made film with female leadership. Written and produced by a Northern Michigander, it has been vetted by many film festivals and won several awards. This is a unique event in that The Accidentals, the film's composers, will open the show with a live musical performance. Stick around after the film for a Q&A with producer Teresa Carey and The Accidentals Savannah Buist and Katie Larson.

Co-ParentMatch.com Profile ID: Ebony9
Looking to Co-parent or Find a sperm donor
Age: 32
Location: Langley, British Columbia, Canada
Other Info: I am a 32 years old (technically) single woman of mixed race (black & caucasian). I do have a partner who I am in a commited and loving relationship with, but he is 15 years my senior and the father of two grown children and does not want to have anymore children of his own. That being said, he is very understanding to the fact that I am still young and want to be a mother, so he is very supportive of me pursuing the chance to have a child of my own. Preferably I would like a man who is also looking to co-parent as I want my child to know and have a good relationship with his or her father. I have no hang ups with sexuality, so it does not matter to me if you are gay or straight. If I am unable to find a co-parent, I am still open to just a donor.

Last season, La Canada (Calif.) Flintridge Prep had 19 players on its varsity team. Not surprisngly, after an opening week victory, the Rebels had a difficult time finishing games or keeping that momentum, as they dropped all of their remaining games. This season, with a roster of 22 players, Flintridge Prep is off to a 2-3 start, thanks to a specific holdover from last year's squad.
Stefan Smith has produced 10 touchdowns over the past four games. Two weeks ago, he accounted for 324 yards of total offense, and college programs are taking notice. Smith has received letters from Arizona and Northern Arizona, which is a big accomplishment at such a small school.
The 6-foot-1, 185-pound Smith is only 15 years old as a junior, as he found his way to Flintridge Prep after growing up in Kansas City and living in Chicago for his eigth-grade season, when he played quarterback. Now, Smith is an athlete who lines up at running back, wide receiver and at several positions on defense. He also plays basketball and runs track for the Rebels. As a sophomore, he paced his league in the 200 meters, finished second in the long jump and was part of a winning 100-meter relay team.
Smith unfortunately hasn't always been able to showcase his talents fully this season. Flintridge Prep's schedule calls for most of its games to kick off at 1 p.m. on Saturdays, which puts them in the middle of the fall heat. With so few players and with Smith serving as such an integral part of the team, his snaps are often limited in the hopes of extending his effectiveness throughout the season.
With attention starting to increase from college programs, Smith said his focus is shifting that way as well, and several programs, including one Pac-12 school in particular, have caught his eye.
"One of those is definitely Washington," Smith said. "I like the Seattle area and what I've seen from Sark (head coach Steve Sarkisian). I really like the Washington program, as well as most of the Pac-12 and Northwestern as well. Those are the schools that I'd like to look at."
Smith was something of an unknown this past offseason, as he attended the invite-only Football University Camp but did not participate in camps on college campuses or on the West Coast. Between his junior and senior seasons, however, Smith said he likely will look to make an impression in front of college coaches.
Smith stars at running back for his high school team, and while he is a capable safety as well, he believes his spot at the next level could be wide receiver.
"I've talked to my family and my coach a little bit, and though I play running back a lot now, wide receiver might be a better spot. My dad is 6-foot-4, so I probably will get a little taller. But I'm flexible. I don't really have a preference. I feel like I can contribute on offense pretty much anywhere."

I personally find the initial modification and > current modification date to be sufficient. It is unlikely that a particular change was made on only one day. I always used the year.

I wouldn't say that is really supported by the letter of the license. The license states "the date of any change", not the first and last with a pointer. You could point to existing practice, but not to the license. In general, I think that section 2a is a bit more restrictive than was really intended, which is why it is so widely flouted.

The mini's going too, in hope that I'll actually find Wifi somewhere out there in Guangzhou.
Bringing my "act-pro" camera too, oh, which reminds me, photos of The Regular's birthday party are still inside.
Okay, I promise I will upload before I fly off (done!).
And also did I mention I chickened out at the blood donation drive.
I'm such a chicken.
Well, the bright side is I found a lot of willing parties to go blood donating with me.
Together we bleed!
Hotel room booked for BKK! Citadines Soi 8 looks pretty cool!
I'm getting really excited about BKK, hee hee.
Ok I'm off.
Ja ne!

I went through my photos recently to organize them into blog posts. Usually what is left over goes into my 50 Favorites on Friday. This week, I had a TON of extra images that didn't fit into another post (or no ideas jumped out at me for themes, which is more likely :) So, here they are, with no particular unifying them!

As you may, or may not know… I have been writing a short story to go along with "The Scepter of Maris" series. It is a prequel novella that takes place about two years before "A Soldier's Honor" and features some of the characters from that book. The story mainly focuses on Meric, Malina, and James, but there are a few other minor characters from Book One, as well as some new ones being introduced. It is certainly not necessary to read this before you read "Honor", but if you are interested in how James first meets Meric and Malina, you will find it there. I will be putting it up on Amazon as a $0.99 download on the Kindle, so there is really no reason not to grab it and enjoy. Below is the cover and a brief synopsis of the novella.
Horrible crimes have been committed on the road to Yost, a lakeside traders town in the Kingdom of Glendon. Already set to hunt down the ones responsible for the first set of murders, the Yost garrison commander Captain James Bridgewater discovers two more instances to lay at the feet of these bandits. The most recent crime is the worst of all, and it has James and his men more determined than ever to put a stop to it. With the help of two new allies, he will show these bandits the meaning of justice.
It should be up soon, but for right now it is being checked over by my amazing editor (also read sister) Leslie Dupree. Once I get it back and go through all of the revisions and any polishing I might deem necessary, I will put it up on Amazon. The cover is from Author Marketing Club (a very helpful site for aspiring authors), and will probably be temporary, just like the one for "Honor". The new cover for "A Soldier's Honor" is being done by an amazing artist (also read cousin) named Mack Beasley, and I hope to talk to him about doing one for this book as well. One of the hardest parts about self-publishing is not have the resources or money for things like editing and book covers. I am very fortunate to have people helping me along the way.
I will put up another post when the book is available for download, but for now… back to Book Two.

After taking on a batch of contemporary pop songs on her 1973 studio album The Singer, Liza Minnelli returns to a more familiar format here. Movies, Broadway musicals, and television appearances notwithstanding, she has devoted much of her career to her concert/nightclub act, and Liza Live at the Winter Garden shows what it sounds like, circa 1974. And that is, essentially, a revised and updated version of the show she immortalized as Liza with a "Z" in 1972. She tries to mix contemporary material with show tunes, beginning with a medley of Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind" and "Come Back to Me" from the Lerner & Loewe musical On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. It doesn't really work, despite her usual full-throttle performance style, and she is far more comfortable with Tin Pan Alley fare and nuggets from decades past, such as "Shine on Harvest Moon" and "More Than You Know." She tries to go contemporary again at the top of the LP's second side with the funky "Natural Man" and Johnny Nash's "I Can See Clearly Now." But, again, she sounds far more in command immediately after when she dramatizes two chansons by her sometime concert partner Charles Aznavour, "And I in My Chair (Et Moi Dans Mon Coin)" and "There Is a Time (Le Temps)." Her mentor, lyricist Fred Ebb, is given credit for writing the show, and he and his composing companion, John Kander, have penned some special material, notably the novelty "Exactly Like Me," a funny song in the style of "Liza with a 'Z'" that finds Minnelli encountering some unlikely fans who think she looks like them. An attempt seems to have been made to avoid repeating songs that have appeared on earlier Minnelli recordings, but it's hard not to end with her no-holds-barred performance of "Cabaret." This is a typically effective live show from Minnelli, and clearly just a souvenir from the act itself that could only be completed by seeing as well as hearing her. ~ William Ruhlmann

I took our two boys, ages 8 & 9 in October 2013. We stayed in Unit 203, which we rented through Ocean Reef Resorts website. Check-in and check-out were done via telephone and the unit had a keypad for entry rather than a key to keep up with. Incredibly EASY and no stress! The unit was tropical and tastefully decorated and clean. Underground parking is included with this unit, which was fabulous - no hot car! The pool gates are locked, so only owners and guests can gain access and the pool is beautiful with a zero entry and fountain for children. There is a decent walk to the beach access, but it is along a wide sidewalk and drivers are very courteous to stop when you need to cross over. Chair and umbrella rental is included with this unit, which makes up for the walk. All in all, we didn't mind walking. There are also at least 3 restaurants in walking distance and unlimited options within a 5-10 mile radius. We would definitely stay here again and have no qualms about recommending this unit to others. Great activities for the kids while you are here: the Gulfarium dolphin and sea lion show, The Track and Fudpucker's Alligator Beach, where you can feed and have your picture made with an alligator.

Randall Wood and Jin H. Han
Emergency physicians are frequently called upon to provide care to agitated, violent, and combative patients. These patients pose a significant safety threat to themselves and to the providers who care for them; furthermore, their agitation can impede the diagnostic workup and delay potentially lifesaving care. Chemical sedation is often necessary in order to ensure patient and provider safety and to expedite the diagnostic workup.
Acute undifferentiated agitation can be classified broadly into medical, toxicologic, or psychiatric etiologies (Table 57.1). It may present with a wide spectrum of severity; patients may be agitated but cooperative or dangerously combative. Excited delirium syndrome (ExDS), also referred to as agitated delirium, is a recently-recognized syndrome that represents the most severe form of agitation. ExDS can be precipitated by almost any psychiatric or medical condition, drug, toxin, or biochemical or physiologic alteration.1 Patients with ExDS are typically young males; they present in a hyperadrenergic autonomic state characterized by hyperthermia, tachycardia, insensitivity to pain, and superhuman strength.1 ExDS is associated with an increase in mortality and represents a true medical emergency that requires immediate attention.
TABLE 57.1 Differential Diagnosis for Acute Undifferentiated Agitation
Although sedation is a critical component of the management of acute agitation in the emergency department (ED), health care professionals should be mindful that these patients are experiencing personal, psychological, and medical crises and that they deserve respect and dignity. Prior to administering sedative agents, de-escalation techniques both verbal and environmental (i.e., turning the lights down, minimizing ambient noise) should be attempted. Such techniques may fail in the severely agitated (or combative) patients, some of whom may require physical restraint prior to chemical sedation. If physical restraint is used, it should be for the shortest time possible; positioning a restrained patient in the prone position should be avoided as this has been associated with increased mortality.2
Benzodiazepines and antipsychotic medications are the most commonly-used pharmacologic agents for the sedation of the agitated patient (Table 57.2). Although intravenous (IV) administration of these medications allows for rapid onset, this dosing route may be challenging and unsafe in the combative and uncooperative patient. For this reason, intramuscular (IM) formulations are often used initially until an IV can be established. Oral administration of benzodiazepines and antipsychotics is rarely given in acutely agitated patients, but can be considered in those who are cooperative.3
TABLE 57.2 Agents for Acute Undifferentiated Agitation in the Emergency Department
IV, intravenous; IM, intramuscular; PO, oral. Consider using lower doses for elderly patients. Adapted from Vilke GM, et al. J Forensic Leg Med. 2012;19:117–121; and Wilson MP, et al. West J Emerg Med. 2012;13:26–34.
Benzodiazepines have a long history of use in the treatment of agitation. This drug class binds to the gamma–aminobutyric acid β (GABA-β)-subtype receptor—the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter of the central nervous system—and exerts sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, amnestic, and muscle relaxant effects.4 Lorazepam and midazolam are the most commonly used and best studied benzodiazepines for the management of acute agitation because they have predictable onset of action when given in the IM form. Diazepam, chlordiazepoxide, and clonazepam are infrequently used in the acute management of agitation because they have longer half-lives and have inconsistent IM absorption.5 Midazolam has a faster onset and shorter duration of action than lorazepam, especially when given IM; however, patients receiving midazolam may require more frequent redosing because of its shorter half-life.6,7
The dosing of IM and IV midazolam and lorazepam is listed in Table 57.2. Protocols recommend dosing midazolam 2 to 5 mg IV every 5 to 10 minutes.8,9 Serial dosing, however, must be used cautiously, as it may increase the risk of respiratory depression, which was reported to be as high as 13% with use of this protocol.9 Fortunately, this serious side effect is usually transient;5,9,10 it may, however, be more common in patients with ethanol or opiate intoxication and so should be used with caution in this population. Additional side effects of benzodiazepines include ataxia, dizziness, and decreased blood pressure, especially in patients who are hypovolemic.
Benzodiazepines should be reserved for patients whose agitation is severe and who present an immediate threat to themselves or others. They may also be useful in patients who are withdrawing from ethanol or benzodiazepines or those who have taken stimulants such as amphetamines or cocaine.11 For agitated patients with delirium, the risks and benefits of benzodiazepine use, which can exacerbate delirium, must be carefully weighed.12
Typical Antipsychotics
Typical, or first-generation, antipsychotics have a long history of use in the treatment of agitation. Haloperidol and droperidol are high-potency butyrophenone antipsychotics that primarily antagonize the D2 dopamine receptor. Despite their side effects (discussed below), and the availability of newer generation atypical antipsychotics, haloperidol and droperidol are still widely used for the management of agitation. They have relatively little effect on hemodynamics13 and can be given orally, intramuscularly, and intravenously.
Although haloperidol is more commonly used for agitation, droperidol offers several advantages. Droperidol may have a more rapid onset of action and a shorter half-life when given intramuscularly.14In one randomized controlled study comparing droperidol 5 mg IM with haloperidol 5 mg IM, droperidol achieved more rapid control of the patient's agitation without any relative increase in side effects.15Compared with IM haloperidol, IM droperidol may also last longer and be less likely to require repeat dosing.16 The dosages for haloperidol and droperidol are listed in Table 57.2. Serial dosing (i.e., every 5 to 10 minutes) can be required to achieve adequate sedation; total doses exceeding 20 mg are associated with increased side effects and have limited incremental benefit.6,17,18
One of the most feared side effects of both droperidol and haloperidol is QT prolongation and torsades de pointes, especially when theses drugs are given intravenously and at higher doses.19,20 Because of reports of cardiac death secondary to torsades de pointes, the FDA issued a black box warning on droperidol in 2001 that has curtailed its use in the clinical setting. This warning is not without controversy. Many have argued that the adverse events observed with droperidol were at doses much higher than typically used for agitation. Several studies have also shown droperidol to be safe for use at doses typically administered for agitation.21,22 Regardless, special care should be taken when using either haloperidol or droperidol in patients with a known prolonged QT interval, who take other QT prolonging medications, or have medical conditions that cause QT prolongation. A 12-lead electrocardiogram should be obtained if possible prior to IV administration. If the patient's QTc interval is >500 milliseconds, the IV route should be avoided.
Haloperidol and droperidol can also cause extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS)—including acute dystonic reactions, akathisia, and pseudoparkinsonism—due to their blockade of dopamine receptors in the basal ganglia. Because haloperidol and droperidol have relatively little anticholinergic activity, EPS occurs in up to 20% of patients treated with these medications.23 Anticholinergic agents such as diphenhydramine (25 to 50 mg), benztropine (1 to 2 mg), and promethazine (25 to 50 mg) are usually effective in treating acute EPS, though severe akathisia may require benzodiazepines.
Droperidol and haloperidol have also been shown to decrease seizure threshold and should be used with caution in patients with a history of seizures. Finally, neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare but potentially fatal complication of these medications.
Atypical Antipsychotics
Olanzapine, risperidone, aripiprazole, and ziprasidone have been extensively evaluated for the treatment of acute agitation in the psychiatric patients; their role in the ED patient with undifferentiated agitation is less clear. Most atypical antipsychotics have oral and IM formulations, although the IM formulation may be less readily available in the ED.
Compared to typical antipsychotics, second-generation, or atypical, antipsychotics have a favorable side effect profile. Atypical antipsychotics also antagonize the dopamine D2 receptor, but unlike typical psychotics, they also antagonize the serotonin 5-HT2, histamine, alpha, and muscarinic receptors to variable degrees. They are less likely to cause oversedation, EPS, QT prolongation, and vital sign abnormalities. Some concerns, however, have been raised about hypotension and oxygen desaturation caused by parenteral olanzapine used in combination with benzodiazepines, especially in patients intoxicated with ethanol.25–27 Similar to typical antipsychotics, NMS has also been reported in patients receiving atypical antipsychotics.28
The choice of medication for sedating the agitated ED patient can depend on how quickly sedation needs to be achieved and on the desired length of sedation. Several randomized controlled trials of typical antipsychotics have explored how they compare with benzodiazepines as monotherapy for controlling agitation. In one study, 111 ED patients with severe agitation were treated with either midazolam 5 mg IM, lorazepam 2 mg IM, or haloperidol 5 mg IM; midazolam was reported as having the shortest time to adequate sedation and shorter times to awakening compared with haloperidol and lorazepam.7 A second study compared midazolam 5 gm IV with droperidol 5 mg IV in 153 agitated ED patients and allowed these medications to be redosed every 5 minutes until adequate sedation was achieved.8 The study observed that more patients in the midazolam group achieved adequate sedation within 5 minutes (45% vs. 17%), suggesting that midazolam may have faster onset of action than droperidol. Both medications had side effects; there was a trend toward increased respiratory depression in the midazolam group (4.1% vs. 0.0%) and dystonic reactions in the droperidol group (0.0% vs. 3.8%). A third study compared droperidol IV (2.5 mg for patients <50 kg, 5.0 mg for patients >50 kg) with lorazepam IV (2.0 mg for patients <50 kg, 4.0 mg for patients >50 kg) in 202 agitated ED patients; repeat dosing was allowed in 30 minutes.28 Though sedation was similar for both medications at 5 minutes, a larger proportion of the droperidol group achieved adequate sedation at subsequent time intervals. In addition, more patients in the lorazepam arm required redosing compared with the droperidol arm. No major adverse events occurred in either group.
The role of atypical antipsychotics in the management of the acutely agitated ED patient is less well established. To date, most research has been conducted in patients whose agitation has a psychiatric cause; in this population, atypical antipsychotics such as olanzapine, aripiprazole, and risperidone are as effective as haloperidol and show a lower incidence of EPS.29–31 Only one randomized controlled trial has evaluated the role of atypical antipsychotic medications in the ED patient with undifferentiated agitation. This study randomized 144 agitated ED patients to receive midazolam 5 mg IM, droperidol 5 mg IM, or ziprasidone 20 mg IM.17 Only 39% of the ziprasidone group achieved adequate sedation within 15 minutes compared to 69% of the midazolam group and 60% of the droperidol group.17 As result, IM ziprasidone is not recommended for rapid sedation of the agitated patient.
In the agitated patient with a psychiatric etiology, several studies have demonstrated that a butyrophenone in combination with a benzodiazepine results in improved sedation with less EPS than monotherapy.23,32,33 In ED patients, the role of combination therapy in the patient with undifferentiated agitation remains unclear. One randomized controlled trial compared droperidol 10 mg IM, midazolam 10 mg IM, and the combination of droperidol 5 mg IM + midazolam 5 mg IM in 91 violent and agitated ED patients.34 The study did not observe any differences in the duration of agitation between the three groups. However, the midazolam group required more redosing to maintain adequate sedation; this group also experienced a nonsignificant tendency to develop oxygen desaturations, especially in patients with ethanol intoxication. A second randomized controlled trial compared midazolam IV alone with midazolam IV used in conjunction with either droperidol 5 mg IV or olanzapine 5 mg IV.24 The combination of droperidol + midazolam or olanzapine + midazolam was associated with significantly shorter times to adequate sedation compared with midazolam alone. More patients in the midazolam-only group required additional sedation within 60 minutes. There were no differences in adverse events or ED length of stay. Several retrospective studies, however, raise concerns that combining olanzapine with a benzodiazepine may result in lower oxygen saturations when given to patients with ethanol intoxication.35,36 As a result, additional research is needed to determine the safety and efficacy of combining antipsychotics and benzodiazepine in the treatment of agitation in the ED.
Based on the abovementioned studies, the following general conclusions can be made:
Other Agents Used for the Sedation of the Agitated Patient
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that antagonizes the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor. It is commonly used in the ED for procedural sedation and induction of intubation and minimally affects respiratory drive. Several case reports have shown that ketamine may be useful in the treatment of severe agitation refractory to antipsychotics or benzodiazepines.37–39
Dexmedetomidine is an alpha-2 agonist sedative that produces minimal respiratory depression; an advantage of this agent is that patients remain easily arousable, even while their agitation is adequately controlled. The evidence supporting its use is limited to case reports in patients with delirium tremens.40 Further research is needed to establish the role and safety of both ketamine and dexmedetomidine in treating agitation in the ED.
Recently, the American Association for Emergency Psychiatry released a consensus statement on the management of agitation in the ED including specific types of agitation that may warrant specific sedatives.11 In a busy ED, however, it is often challenging to determine the cause of agitation, especially early in a patient's course. With this caveat, for agitation secondary to stimulants, benzodiazepines are considered the first-line agent. Benzodiazepines should also be used for agitation secondary to alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal. For alcohol-intoxicated patients, benzodiazepines should be avoided because of increased risk of respiratory depression; haloperidol or a second-generation antipsychotic should be used instead. For agitation secondary to a psychiatric illness, antipsychotics are preferred over benzodiazepines, and atypical antipsychotics are preferred over typical antipsychotics. Benzodiazepines may be used if the initial dose of antipsychotic medications is insufficient to control agitation. For agitation secondary to hyperactive delirium not caused by a stimulant, ethanol withdrawal, or benzodiazepine withdrawal, haloperidol is recommended if immediate pharmacologic control is required. Benzodiazepines can exacerbate the delirium component of hyperactive delirium and should be avoided in those instances.41
The management of severe acute agitation in the ED is challenging and requires a coordinated effort between emergency physicians, nurses, and staff. When non-pharmacological methods fail to calm the patient, intervention with chemical sedation can to ensure patient and staff safety and facilitate the diagnostic workup. Familiarity with the summary recommendations provided in this chapter can help guide selection of the most appropriate sedative agent.

Making what he called "one of the most important appointments that any president can make," Obama Wednesday described Yellen as a tough and proven leader who "is exceptionally well qualified for this role."
Yellen, who currently serves as vice chair at the central bank, was not Obama's first choice. The President was reported to be keen on Larry Summers, who had served as his top economic adviser during the financial crisis.
However, Summers, a former Harvard president who also served as Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton, withdrew his name from consideration in mid September following backlash from some Senate Democrats over his alleged combative reputation.
Citing Yellen's years of experience in various Federal Reserve roles, as well as her meticulous research and economic forecasting skills, more than 500 economists had signed a letter urging Obama to nominate her for the top job.
Investors view Yellen as representing continuity for the Fed because her views are closely aligned with current chairman Ben Bernanke, whose second term ends Jan 31, according to CNN.
Like Bernanke, Yellen's main concern recently has been that high unemployment has persisted too long and could lead to permanent loss of skills for some workers. This viewpoint means she tends to lean in favour of continuing the Fed's stimulus efforts.
"While we have made progress, we have farther to go," Yellen said Wednesday. "The mandate of the Federal Reserve is to serve all the American people."
"And too many Americans still can't find a job, and worry how they'll pay their bills and provide for their families. The Federal Reserve can help if it does its job effectively."
The New York Times said Yellen's choice would reinforce the bank's change from an institution run by bureaucrats focused on inflation to one run by academics committed to a broader mission.

What People are Saying about Us
Had a wonderful lunchtime meal with the family. We were all impressed by the very high standard of the meal. We were made to feel so very welcome and look forward to returning. Sheila Smith August 2017
We stopped in this pub on our way back from West Bay on Easter Monday, and were really impressed. From the start when the lady was so welcoming to the very attractive and extensive menu of fish and shellfish. We had a wonderful lunch in a very cosy and warm atmosphere. I would go again and definitely recommend this place to others. Pascale Beck April 2017
Spent two nights and only wish we were not being entertained elsewhere and could have made better use of the tempting food on offer. However, breakfast was great and so were the small dishes we ate on Sunday evening. The bed was amazing and everything spotless.The welcome could not have been better and Andrea was the perfect hostess, even remembering that I preferred apple juice at breakfast on the second day. Highly recommended. Mary Berg March 2017
Have been to this pub with friends who live in the village a few times. Staff are great and food fantastic. Will be going again in the New Year. Stephen Hilton October2016
Met up with old friends yesterday who are great fish eaters - the 4 of us were very happily impressed with super food, excellent service and lovely atmosphere. Only problem was choosing from the large tempting menu! Thoroughly recommended. Rosie Mortimer August 2016
Went to the Ancher over 3 days and had honeycomb ice cream Lovely! The other night I had nothing because I was stuffed! The OTHER night I had apricot and peach crumble with custard. LOVE AT 1ST SIGHT! Thank you Anchor! We're coming back! Ellie Evans August 2016
Just spent 2 nights at the wonderful Anchor Inn at Burton Bradstock and I can thoroughly recommend this delightful establishment to anyone who thinks of staying here. Jan looked after us at the bar on our arrival and the lunch was excellent – very friendly staff also. The room was large, lovely and clean and better than many hotels that I have been to over the years. I would recommend you book a table for dinner as this Inn gets a lot of locals and visitors arrive for the outstanding choice of seafood and steaks on offer. Andrea (The Manager) is lovely also and cooks a fantastic Full English breakfast. Steph my partner drinks Earl Grey Tea and Andrea kindly popped some tea bags up in the room for her. We will most definitely be coming back again – the rooms are very reasonable and Burton Bradstock !! Well – this village is what every visitor (I am Maltese) believes an English Village looks like – is a wonderful place to stay. If you go – please Visit Hive beach – it's so beautiful and calming – I am seriously thinking of Dorset as my place to retire to. Mike Hayes and Steph Turner, Southampton, June 2016
Just returned from a lunch at The Anchor. Got to say staff were friendly and the fish for lunch was excellent. Must come again! Anna, March 2016
We stayed on 1st and 2nd Feb 2016 in Abbotsbury and were recommended to The Anchor for the seafood. We popped in at lunchtime and booked a table for the evening. Very friendly staff behind the bar and very welcoming. The scallop starter was beautiful and my trio of fish that followed was almost too much for me but I did manage to eat it all, but had to leave some of the veg. I was stuffed. My wife had the ham hock terrine and the homemade steak pie. That was delicious and would have fed two people. A great meal at a reasonable price. The pub was full of people eating on a Tuesday evening. It was difficult to choose what to have from the huge menu. What a fantastic pub, heartily recommended and we will return. Thank you to all the staff. Richard Johnson, Feb 2016
Having been told how great your food and welcome is by a friend, I was not to be disappointed! I reserved a 'dog friendly' table and my lovely greyhound and I could not have been made to feel more welcome. The warmth of the staff clearly spilled over to their guests, as the conversation between tables was free flowing and the atmosphere every bit as enjoyable as the delicious food. Thank you! Anna, September 2015
A truly great Sunday lunch in a lovely country pub. Thank you to all the courteous and friendly staff, we will be back. Bob Wiltshire, July 2015
Thank you to all the team for making us so welcome again. The food fantastic. See you again soon. Eric and Ann, May 2015
Fantastic lunch Fish Trio combo. Lovely to see Andy - always bright and cheerful. The best sea food restuarant around. Just wish we could visit more often. Thank you. Pam and Graham, February 2015
Thank you so much, Andrea and team, for a brilliant weekend. Comfortable room, delicious food and friendly and helpful staff. We had a great weekend. Thank you so much. Helen Yeo-Wright, February 2015
The best meal out my wife and I have had for years. Thank you. We will definitely come again. Patrick Robinson, February 2015
Thank you again to you all for a wonderful, relaxing few days in Burton Bradstock. Food, accommodation, friendliness - excellent all round. See you very soon. Eric and Ann, July 2014
What a lovely friendly pub. The staff are friendly, helpful, welcoming and very happy people. I have never been in a pub full of such jolly staff before. I wish I lived near this pub as I would visit often for their banter and charm and of course the fresh tasting food. The food was just amazing. So fresh and the fish I had was filleted so well I had no bones at all. Every bite of the trio of fish I had just melted in my mouth. I would recommend this place to anyone that loves fish or local meat produce. If I am in the area again, 100% I would book to eat there again. I do recommend booking as I went on a Sunday night and Monday night which I booked in advanced and on both evenings it got packed around 7pm. Thank you for making my meal time amazing.

We have spent an excellent weekend staying in the Anchor. The accommodation was fantastic. Andrea and the rest of the staff were very welcoming. We can not recommend the food in the restaurant enough. Alison & Steven J, Apr 2014
Absolutely first class food, surroundings, choice and service! After experiencing a very poor dinner at River Cottage on the Friday this was a fantastic comparison, excellent choice of food, especially fish, very prompt and knowledgeable staff, great service, not rushed or ignored, good quality, tasty food, nice relaxing venue. Will definitely recommend to people visiting the area, and we will return! Tamby Burton, Feb 2014
The Anchor Inn was recommended to me and what a wonderful weekend we had. The staff were lovely and welcoming. Andrea looked after us so well. The food was out of this world, can't wait to go back. Maria Hogg, Jan 2014
We recently stayed at the Anchor Inn and it was the highlight of our 12 days in the south of England. Andrea and Michael and the rest of the staff were wonderful, hospitality very friendly, lots of laughs and the food was fabulous. Burton Bradstock is a beautifully preserved village, thatched cottages and lovely little lanes in which to wander. We will certainly go back it is a beautiful part of England. Thank you all, we are still talking about our stay at the Anchor Inn.
Margaret & Jennifer, May 2013
Just spent another couple of nights at the Anchor Inn whilst visiting family in Puncknowle. Once again great hospitality and food, thanks to everyone. Don and Jean Collins, Mar 2013
