Episode 337 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a pair of Edmonton Oilers prospects with great stories to share: the debut of Connor Ungar and the return of Matt Tomkins. In the feature interview appropriately presented by NHL Sense Arena, we start with Ungar sharing lessons from one of the most unique seasons in recent memory. He has played for three different teams in the ECHL before getting called up to the American Hockey League and somehow posting an 11-1-4 record with a save percentage north of .944 for all four teams, including 6-0-0 with a .955 right now in Bakersfield. And it's all come as an undrafted free agent who spent a season at Brock University (not unlike Logan Thompson) after playing four seasons in the CHL.Speaking of unconventional paths, we also catch up with Tomkins, who went from two seasons in Sweden to his NHL debut with the Tampa Bay Lightning before signing with his hometown Oilers this summer, and continues to show he's capable of playing at the highest level all while openly sharing lessons learned along the way. That includes offseason time with osteopath James Wendland, whose popular training tips have been featured regularly at InGoal Magazine.In the Parent Segment, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, we talk about the risk of always comparing your child's path in this position to what others are doing, especially when it comes time to make Spring Hockey choices. We also review this week's Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, which features Jet Greaves of the Columbus Blue Jackets with some great depth advice on even-man rush chances, and how you should adjust if it breaks down in tight. And in our weekly gear segment we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a look at the new Vaughn Ion pads and gloves already being worn by Calvin Pickard of the Oilers in the NHL and available now in store and online.

Send Robert a Text! Long before Colonel Thomas Baker arrived in what we now call Bakersfield, a solitary hill rose from the valley floor near the site of today's Mercy Hospital. For generations, that hill was home to a Yokuts village, a place chosen for both its visibility and its safety from the river's floods. After the Native Americans left, some of Kern County's earliest white pioneers settled on the same hill, unknowingly building their lives atop a much older history. Years later, when the hill was leveled to make way for railroad tracks, workers uncovered something unexpected—an unsettling mystery buried deep within the soil itself.***SUBSCRIBE HERE*** For only $4 per month, you can Subscribe to Notorious Bakersfield to get access to the entire back catalog of episodes.

It's Tuesday afternoon, and there's a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was. On today's episode, the guys discussed Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' 1000th game, back-to-back shutouts, Kasperi Kapanen's injury, and much more.We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about when the Oilers might consider talking to Connor Ingram about an extension. Given that our new friend has been playing incredibly well since his recall from Bakersfield, it's fair to wonder whether or when the organization might start thinking about keeping him around for a while. Is it too soon? How much would the boys be willing to offer the goalie in a new contract?Changing gears, we looked at Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' 1000th game that happened at Rogers Place on Thursday night, and how the team did a fantastic job paying tribute to their longest serving player. From the pre-game ceremony to scoring the eventual game winner, it was a wonderful night at Rogers Place and one the guys were thrilled to discuss. Changing gears, the boys looked at the Andrew Mangiapane situation and whether or not there's any way the Oilers can save the relationship. Is that even in the cards? Finally, we wrapped up the episode of ONR with another round of Baggedmilk's Trivia. With none of the other boys coming up with anything new, the guys went back to old faithful with a round of Devils-related Baggedmilk Trivia questions. Think you know your New Jersey history? This game was for you. Did the quizmaster have to step in? Did Baggedmilk get his questions right? You'll have to listen to find out for sure. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 210: Heat Stroke BasicsWritten by Jacob Dunn, MS4, American University of the Caribbean. Edits and comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice. Definition:Heat stroke represents the most severe form of heat-related illness, characterized by a core body temperature exceeding 40°C (104°F) accompanied by central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction. Arreaza: Key element is the body temperature and altered mental status. Jacob: This life-threatening condition arises from the body's failure to dissipate heat effectively, often in the context of excessive environmental heat load or strenuous physical activity. Arreaza: You mentioned, it is a spectrum. What is the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke? Jacob: Unlike milder heat illnesses such as heat exhaustion, heat stroke involves multisystem organ dysfunction driven by direct thermal injury, systemic inflammation, and cytokine release. You can think of it as the body's thermostat breaking under extreme stress — leading to rapid, cascading failures if not addressed immediately. Arreaza: Tell us what you found out about the pathophysiology of heat stroke?Jacob: Pathophysiology: Under normal conditions, the body keeps its core temperature tightly controlled through sweating, vasodilation of skin blood vessels, and behavioral responses like seeking shade or drinking water. But in extreme heat or prolonged exertion, those mechanisms get overwhelmed.Once core temperature rises above about 40°C (104°F), the hypothalamus—the brain's thermostat—can't keep up. The body shifts from controlled thermoregulation to uncontrolled, passive heating. Heat stroke isn't just someone getting too hot—it's a full-blown failure of the body's heat-regulating system. Arreaza: So, it's interesting. the cell functions get affected at this point, several dangerous processes start happening at the same time.Jacob: Yes: Cellular Heat InjuryHigh temperatures disrupt proteins, enzymes, and cell membranes. Mitochondria start to fail, ATP production drops, and cells become leaky. This leads to direct tissue injury in vital organs like the brain, liver, kidneys, and heart.Arreaza: Yikes. Cytokines play a big role in the pathophysiology of heat stroke too. Jacob: Systemic Inflammatory ResponseHeat damages the gut barrier, allowing endotoxins to enter the bloodstream. This triggers a massive cytokine release—similar to sepsis. The result is widespread inflammation, endothelial injury, and microvascular collapse.Arreaza: What other systems are affected?Coagulation AbnormalitiesEndothelial damage activates the clotting cascade. Patients may develop a DIC-like picture: microthrombi forming in some areas while clotting factors get consumed in others. This contributes to organ dysfunction and bleeding.Circulatory CollapseAs the body shunts blood to the skin for cooling, perfusion to vital organs drops. Combine that with dehydration from sweating and fluid loss, and you get hypotension, decreased cardiac output, and worsening ischemia.Arreaza: And one of the key features is neurologic dysfunction.Jacob: Neurologic DysfunctionThe brain is extremely sensitive to heat. Encephalopathy, confusion, seizures, and coma occur because neurons malfunction at high temperatures. This is why altered mental status is the hallmark of true heat stroke.Arreaza: Cell injury, inflammation, coagulopathy, circulatory collapse and neurologic dysfunction. Jacob: Ultimately, heat stroke is a multisystem catastrophic event—a combination of thermal injury, inflammatory storm, coagulopathy, and circulatory collapse. Without rapid cooling and aggressive supportive care, these processes spiral into irreversible organ failure.Background and Types:Arreaza: Heat stroke is part of a spectrum of heat-related disorders—it is a true medical emergency. Mortality rate reaches 30%, even with optimal treatment. This mortality correlates directly with the duration of core hyperthermia. I'm reminded of the first time I heard about heat stroke in a baby who was left inside a car in the summer 2005. Jacob: There are two primary types: -nonexertional (classic) heat stroke, which develops insidiously over days and predominantly affects vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, and those with chronic illnesses during heat waves; -exertional heat stroke, which strikes rapidly in young, otherwise healthy individuals, often during intense exercise in hot, humid conditions. Arreaza: In our community, farm workers are especially at risk of heat stroke, but any person living in the Central Valley is basically at risk.Jacob: Risk factors amplify vulnerability across both types, including dehydration, cardiovascular disease, medications that impair sweating (e.g., anticholinergics), and acclimatization deficits. Notably, anhidrosis (lack of sweating) is common but not required for diagnosis. Hot, dry skin can signal the shift from heat exhaustion to stroke. Arreaza: What other conditions look like heat stroke?Differential Diagnosis:Jacob: Presenting with altered mental status and hyperthermia, heat stroke demands a broad differential to avoid missing mimics. -Environmental: heat exhaustion, syncope, or cramps. -Infectious etiologies like sepsis or meningitis must be ruled out. -Endocrine emergencies such as thyroid storm, pheochromocytoma, or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can overlap. -Neurologic insults include cerebrovascular accident (CVA), hypothalamic lesions (bleeding or infarct), or status epilepticus. -Toxicologic culprits are plentiful—sympathomimetic or anticholinergic toxidromes, salicylate poisoning, serotonin syndrome, malignant hyperthermia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), or even alcohol/benzodiazepine withdrawal. When it comes to differentials, it is always best to cast a wide net and think about what we could be missing if this is not heat stroke. Arreaza: Let's say we have a patient with hyperthermia and we have to assess him in the ER. What should we do to diagnose it?Jacob: Workup:Diagnosis is primarily clinical, hinging on documented hyperthermia (>40°C) plus CNS changes (e.g., confusion, delirium, seizures, coma) in a hot environment. Arreaza: No single lab confirms it, but targeted testing allows us to detect complications and rule out alternative diagnosis. Jacob: -Start with ECG to assess for dysrhythmias or ischemic changes (sinus tachycardia is classic; ST depressions or T-wave inversions may hint at myocardial strain). -Labs include complete blood count (CBC), comprehensive metabolic panel (electrolytes, renal function, liver enzymes), glucose, arterial blood gas, lactate (elevated in shock), coagulation studies (for disseminated intravascular coagulation, or DIC), creatine kinase (CK) and myoglobin (for rhabdomyolysis), and urinalysis. Toxicology screen if history suggests. Arreaza: I can imagine doing all this while trying to cool down the patient. What about imaging?-Imaging: chest X-ray for pulmonary issues, non-contrast head CT if neurologic concerns suggest edema or bleed (consider lumbar puncture if infection suspected). It is important to note that continuous core temperature monitoring—via rectal, esophageal, or bladder probe—is essential, not just peripheral skin checks. Arreaza: TreatmentManagement:Time is tissue here—initiate cooling en route, if possible, as delays skyrocket morbidity. ABCs first: secure airway (intubate if needed, favoring rocuronium over succinylcholine to avoid hyperkalemia risk), support breathing, and stabilize circulation. -Remove the patient from the heat source, strip clothing, and launch aggressive cooling to target 38-39°C (102-102°F) before halting to prevent rebound hypothermia. -For exertional cases, ice-water immersion reigns supreme—it's the fastest method, with immersion in cold water resulting in near-100% survival if started within 30 minutes. -Nonexertional benefits from evaporative cooling: mist with tepid water (15-25°C) plus fans for convective airflow. -Adjuncts include ice packs to neck, axillae, and groin; -room-temperature IV fluids (avoid cold initially to prevent shivering); -refractory cases, invasive options like peritoneal lavage, endovascular cooling catheters, or even ECMO. -Fluid resuscitation with lactated Ringer's or normal saline (250-500 mL boluses) protects kidneys and counters rhabdomyolysis—aim for urine output of 2-3 mL/kg/hour. Arreaza: What about medications?Jacob: Benzodiazepines (e.g., lorazepam) control agitation, seizures, or shivering; propofol or fentanyl if intubated. Avoid antipyretics like acetaminophen. For intubation, etomidate or ketamine as induction agents. Hypotension often resolves with cooling and fluids; if not, use dopamine or dobutamine over norepinephrine to avoid vasoconstriction. Jacob: What IV fluid is recommended/best for patients with heat stroke?Both lactated Ringer's solution and normal saline are recommended as initial IV fluids for rehydration, but balanced crystalloids such as LR are increasingly favored due to their lower risk of hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis and AKI. However, direct evidence comparing the two specifically in the setting of heat stroke is limited. Arreaza: Are cold IV fluids better/preferred over room temperature fluids?Cold IV fluids are recommended as an adjunctive therapy to help lower core temperature in heat stroke, but they should not delay or replace primary cooling methods such as cold-water immersion. Cold IV fluids can decrease core temperature more rapidly than room temperature fluids. For example, 30mL/kg bolus of chilled isotonic fluids at 4 degrees Celsius over 30 minutes can decrease core temperature by about 1 degree Celsius, compared to 0.5 degree Celsius with room temperature fluids. Arreaza: Getting cold IV sounds uncomfortable but necessary for those patients. Our favorite topic.Screening and Prevention:-Heat stroke prevention focuses on public health and individual awareness rather than routine testing. -High-risk groups—elderly, children, athletes, laborers, or those on impairing meds—should acclimatize gradually (7-14 days), hydrate preemptively (electrolyte solutions over plain water), and monitor temperature in exertional settings. -Communities during heat waves need cooling centers and alerts. -For clinicians, educate patients with CVD or obesity about early signs like dizziness or nausea. -No formal "screening" exists, but vigilance in EDs during summer surges saves lives. -Arreaza: I think awareness is a key element in prevention, so education of the public through traditional media like TV, and even social media can contribute to the prevention of this catastrophic condition.Jacob: Ya so heat stroke is something that should be on every physician's radar in the central valley especially in the summer time given the hot temperatures. Rapid recognition is key. Arreaza: Thanks, Jacob for this topic, and until next time, this is Dr. Arreaza, signing off.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser.

Send us a textA Vespa hums into Bakersfield, a church robe hides bondage gear, and a smooth-talking reverend runs a drug ring between sermons about macaroni. We dive into Honey Don't with a simple litmus test for any detective story: does the protagonist actually want something concrete? When a PI drifts through clues without being hired, breaking in, or deducing much of anything, style and shock have to work overtime. Sometimes they do—there's a killer dark-comic exchange where the reverend clarifies which “loose end” needs cutting, and a punchy beatdown where Honey demolishes her niece's abuser and half the set with a stubborn attempt to break a gun. Those moments pop because desire finally drives action.Most of the time, though, the movie trades plot for “period interest.” Public intimacy scenes and graphic interludes arrive without chemistry or consequence, the police flirtation thread wanders, and tonal flourishes—freeze-frame credits, a lounge pianist narrator, and a congregation chanting “macaroni”—feel like disconnected curios. We contrast that with great shaggy noirs that still hum on character wants. The Big Lebowski may meander, but everyone wants something, and that magnet pulls you through. Here, the late twist that recasts MG as the true monster doesn't reframe earlier clues so much as overwrite them, draining suspense and turning the finale into a list of facts instead of a reckoning.We talk craft throughout: how color and quirky detail should feed a throughline; how stakes escalate when choices collide; why romance needs buildup to matter; and how consequence grounds even the wildest genre swings. Bakersfield looks great. Chris Evans chews scenery like a pro. But without a spine of desire and payoff, Honey Don't plays like a collage—provocative, occasionally funny, and oddly hollow once the noise fades.If you're into smart, spirited takedowns of messy movies, queue this one up, then tell us your spiciest take.

First-time home buyers are not who they used to be. And the housing market has not fully caught up.In this episode of the Kern County Real Estate Review, we take a closer look at what today's first-time buyers actually want and why so many builders are still delivering housing products that miss the mark.First-time buyers now make up a smaller share of the market, they are older than ever, and many are buying on their own or without children at home. Their priorities have shifted toward affordability, flexibility, energy efficiency, and lower monthly costs. Yet much of the new construction hitting the market still reflects a buyer profile from a decade ago.We break down:• How the first-time buyer demographic has changed• Why traditional “starter homes” no longer fit many buyers' lifestyles• The disconnect between affordability challenges and what builders are producing• What buyers are actually prioritizing today• How this trend impacts Bakersfield and Kern County specificallyThis episode is a must-listen for first-time buyers, homeowners, builders, investors, and anyone trying to understand where the housing market is headed next.Whether you are thinking about buying your first home, watching new construction trends, or just trying to make sense of today's market, this conversation offers insight you will not hear in the headlines.
