**Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of homicides, suicide and torture** This week we're back in spooky Appalachia to explore a haunted attraction that might be a little too real. Sitting on 20 acres of a former Tennessee plantation is Frightmare Manor. The haunt's story centers on Jeremiah Lexer, the former plantation owner who was secretly a serial killer, the shocking 1902 axe murders that exposed his crimes, and a pit of bodies believed to hold dozens of missing locals. It's a dark legend that raises a bit of an eyebrow when you realize it's now being used as entertainment. Today the property is one of the country's most popular haunted attractions, with a challenge so intense that almost no one completes it. Yet staff and visitors report shadow figures, strange noises, moving objects, and a man carrying an axe in the manor windows. So we have to wonder… are the scares just part of the show, or is something else haunting Frightmare Manor?

In this episode, we are going to take a closer look at Vancomycin, one of the most widely used antibiotics in the hospital setting and a medication that pharmacists frequently monitor. Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic primarily used to treat serious gram-positive infections, including those caused by Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to the D-alanine–D-alanine portion of peptidoglycan precursors, which ultimately prevents the bacteria from forming a stable cell wall. Clinically, vancomycin is commonly used for infections such as bacteremia, endocarditis, osteomyelitis, and severe skin and soft tissue infections when resistant gram-positive organisms are suspected. One of the most important aspects of vancomycin therapy is therapeutic drug monitoring, as maintaining appropriate exposure is critical for both efficacy and safety. Current practice often focuses on achieving target AUC-to-MIC ratios rather than relying solely on trough levels. Pharmacists also play an important role in adjusting doses based on renal function and monitoring for adverse effects. Two key safety concerns with vancomycin are nephrotoxicity and vancomycin infusion-related reactions such as “red man syndrome,” which is characterized by flushing, rash, and hypotension if the medication is infused too rapidly. Throughout this episode, we will review the pharmacology, monitoring parameters, and clinical pearls that healthcare professionals should understand when managing patients receiving vancomycin therapy.

As they discuss, they agree the Hawks getting things done by committee as any player on any given night is stepping up to lead the way. :20 – Mike and Abe get into some college hoops talk as they share thoughts on some of the matchups and discuss the chances of Georgia being able to pick up a first round win over Saint Louis. They then share thoughts on takeaways from Georgia's pro day, including hearing Zachariah Branch appeared to draw the interest of the Falcons brass. :40 – Mike and Abe get into some Falcons as they share thoughts on if fans who are not high on Michael Penix Jr. should be considered to be 'turning their back' on him. As they discuss, they agree that while some may not have been on board with the Falcons drafting the third year QB, they believe he has had good enough and bad enough outings to question should he be the team's franchise QB.

(Current price of oil contract is $95 and December contract is $75) Oil Prices may be BOGUS - But What About Gas? Gas Prices More Manipulation - The Trump administration has discussed trading in the oil futures market as a strategy to help curb surging crude prices amid the war in Iran, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said. - US would just sell future contracts and then deliver at those prices at the end of the contract date. (SPR/Venezuela?) - Not sure how markets will take an intervention like that. - Remember when short selling was banned on Financials back in the 2008 ----Stock prices continued to fall during the ban and tended to stabilize only after it was lifted, suggesting the ban did not stop the decline. ------ Seems that when government intervenes in free markets they can set off more panic as the optics make it look even worse. ---- AND- Russian Oil sanctions partially removed Inflation and ECO - PCE Prices stay elevated - GDP rose at a seasonally and inflation-adjusted annual rate of just 0.7% in the fourth quarter, according to a Commerce Department revision Friday. - The first revision of the GDP reading was a sharp step down from the previous estimate of 1.4% and well below the Dow Jones consensus forecast for 1.5%. - The core PCE inflation rose 0.4% in January and 3.1% on a 12-month basis.

In this episode of the Hormone Genius Podcast, we dive into the science behind protein, without getting lost in the intimidating biochemical diagrams. Instead, we take a practical and approachable look at what protein actually does in the body, why amino acids matter, and how much protein people really need to support optimal health. Proteins are literally the structural foundation of our bodies. They make up a significant portion of our tissues, including muscles, organs, skin, enzymes, hormones, and immune molecules. In fact, a large percentage of our body composition is made up of protein-based structures. Every cell in the body relies on proteins to function. That means every day our bodies must continually rebuild and repair protein structures just to maintain normal physiological balance. This process is known as anabolism, the state where the body is building and repairing tissues. The opposite state is catabolism, where tissues begin to break down. Ideally, our bodies maintain a balance between these two states. But if we don't consume enough protein, or if our bodies are under stress, illness, trauma, or aging—the body can shift toward catabolism. In that situation, it begins breaking down muscle tissue in order to release amino acids needed to sustain essential functions. One of the most common questions about protein is how much we should consume daily. You may have heard the popular recommendation of eating one gram of protein per pound of body weight. While this guideline is common in fitness communities, it may be unnecessarily high for many individuals. Current research from protein experts like Dr. Don Layman suggests that for most healthy adults who exercise moderately, a target of around: 0.7–0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight may be sufficient to maintain muscle mass and support metabolic health. For many people, this translates to roughly 90–100 grams of protein per day. A simple strategy is to aim for 25–30 grams of protein per meal across three meals daily. This approach naturally distributes protein intake in a balanced way and supports consistent amino acid availability throughout the day. In other words, when the body doesn't receive enough protein from food, it may start consuming its own muscle to survive. This is one reason protein intake becomes increasingly important as we age.

2. The debate continues with a comparison of Emperor Trump to Nero and Claudius, questioning if his current crisis is a result of bad luck or hubris. While Claudius favored low-risk, calculated campaigns, Trump's offensive is characterized as a "rash and incalculably risky gambit" that mirrors strategic failures in Ukraine. This conflict has solidified the Russia-Chinabond and left Israel "naked and exposed" due to US failures. Germanicus argues that the US ignored the "weak points" of its own coalition, turning Gulf State bases into liabilities rather than security assets. Likening Trump's overconfidence to Hitler's before the invasion of Russia, the speakers suggest that the US has "got suckered" into a war it cannot win through air power alone. They conclude that the only rational path is to accept defeat and reorganize, as the Romans did when facing superior Persian cavalry. (2)1680 CONSTANTINOPLE

Dan Anthony from WePayTheTariffs explains the recent Supreme Court decision that ruled certain tariffs illegal, how the refunds for affected importers will work, and what steps ecommerce owners should take moving forward. The Supreme Court recently struck down President Trump's tariffs.  And that means there's good news and bad news.  The good news is that you're likely going to be entitled to a full refund of any IEPPA tariffs you paid last year after the SCOTUS ruling. The other good news is that the CBP has been instructed to make the job of getting tariff refunds as simple as possible. The bad news is you're going to have to jump through a couple of hoops first. In today's episode, Dan Anthony from WePayTheTariffs is on to clear some of the confusion and skepticism about the refunds and the recent tariff increase that was announced after the Supreme Court passed their judgement.    Timestamps: 00:00 - The Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs 01:44 - What the ruling did and did not address 02:12 - What happens to tariff money? 03:42 - Differences in legal footing between Trump 1.0 and 2.0 tariffs 05:15 - Timeline for implementing new tariffs 09:46 - Current application rates of tariffs: 10% or 15% 10:10 - What you need to do to get tariff refunds 13:37 - The urgency of refunds and how delays cost the US government money 16:58 - The likelihood of refunds being issued 18:54 - Potential government objections to refunds and appeal possibilities 20:19 - Timeline and procedural steps for refund payments 22:04 - Windows to protest tariffs and how they apply here 23:37 - The role of legislative efforts and legal timelines for refunds 26:07 - WePayTheTariffs' mission and ongoing advocacy efforts 28:48 - How small importers can support the campaign and register for refunds Resources & Links: WePayTheTariffs.com — Join the movement to advocate for tariffs refunds CBP Refund Registration — Register for ACH refunds to ensure you receive your money Section 301 Trade Law — U.S. Trade Representative info Section 232 Steel & Aluminum Tariffs — Official documentation As always, if you have any questions or anything that you need help with, leave a comment down below if you're interested.

Full Text of Readings Tuesday of the Fourth Week of Lent Lectionary: 245 The Saint of the day is Saint Patrick Saint Patrick's Story Legends about Saint Patrick abound; but truth is best served by our seeing two solid qualities in him: He was humble and he was courageous. The determination to accept suffering and success with equal indifference guided the life of God's instrument for winning most of Ireland for Christ. Details of his life are uncertain but his popularity has never wavered. Current research places his dates of birth and death a little later than earlier accounts. Patrick may have been born in Dunbarton, Scotland, Cumberland, England, or in northern Wales. He called himself both a Roman and a Briton. At 16, he and a large number of his father's slaves and vassals were captured by Irish raiders and sold as slaves in Ireland. Forced to work as a shepherd, he suffered greatly from hunger and cold. After six years Saint Patrick escaped, probably to France, and later returned to Britain at the age of 22. His captivity had meant spiritual conversion. He may have studied at Lerins, off the French coast; he spent years at Auxerre, France, and was consecrated bishop at the age of 43. His great desire was to proclaim the good news to the Irish. In a dream vision it seemed “all the children of Ireland from their mothers' wombs were stretching out their hands” to him. He understood the vision to be a call to do mission work in pagan Ireland. Despite opposition from those who felt his education had been defective, he was sent to carry out the task. He went to the west and north–where the faith had never been preached–obtained the protection of local kings, and made numerous converts. Because of the island's pagan background, Patrick was emphatic in encouraging widows to remain chaste and young women to consecrate their virginity to Christ. He ordained many priests, divided the country into dioceses, held Church councils, founded several monasteries and continually urged his people to greater holiness in Christ. He suffered much opposition from pagan druids and was criticized in both England and Ireland for the way he conducted his mission. In a relatively short time, the island had experienced deeply the Christian spirit, and was prepared to send out missionaries whose efforts were greatly responsible for Christianizing Europe. Patrick was a man of action, with little inclination toward learning. He had a rock-like belief in his vocation, in the cause he had espoused. He never doubted his direction because he understood that grace could guide him One of the few certainly authentic writings is his Confessio, above all an act of homage to God for having called Patrick, unworthy sinner, to the apostolate. There is hope rather than irony in the fact that his burial place is said to be in County Down in Northern Ireland, long the scene of strife and violence. Reflection What distinguishes Saint Patrick is the durability of his efforts. In the face of difficulty or strife, he maintained the faith. When one considers the state of Ireland when he began his mission work, the vast extent of his labors, and how the seeds he planted continued to grow and flourish, one can only admire the kind of man Patrick must have been. One of tireless faith and incredible stamina in bringing people to God. The holiness of a person is known only by the fruits of his or her work.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
