In this episode of PICU Doc on Call, hosts Dr. Monica Gray and Dr. Pradip Kamat explore procedural sedation in the pediatric ICU. They cover sedation levels, pre-screening, risk stratification using ASA classifications, and medication selection tailored to each patient's hemodynamic and respiratory status. Through real-world case discussions involving respiratory failure, septic shock, and acute neurological decline, they highlight the importance of end-tidal CO2 monitoring and early adverse event recognition. Key takeaways include avoiding the term "conscious sedation," preparing rescue plans, and prioritizing patient safety through careful assessment and monitoring.Show Highlights:Definitions and levels of sedation (minimal, moderate, deep sedation, and general anesthesia)Importance of terminology in procedural sedationMonitoring sedation levels using scales like the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS)Pre-screening and risk stratification considerations for pediatric patientsASA physical status classification system for assessing patient riskUnique challenges of procedural sedation in critically ill childrenAdverse events associated with pediatric procedural sedation, particularly respiratory complicationsManagement strategies for specific cases requiring sedation (e.g., respiratory failure, septic shock)Importance of end-tidal CO2 monitoring during sedationKey takeaways for safe sedation practices in the pediatric ICU settingReferences: Nir Atlas; Rahul C.

In The Beat of My Drum, Nigerian drummer Babatunde Olatunji says that, "rhythm is the soul of life, because the whole universe revolves around rhythm.”

Born and raised in Newport, Rhode Island, Sid Abruzzi came to surfing and skateboarding in the early 1960s. In 1969, 18-year-old Abbruzzi drove down to New Jersey to buy a few Rick single-fins, as surfboards were hard to come by in Rhode Island back then. He swiftly sold the boards, then sold another batch, and found a liking for this buying and selling business. In 1971, Abbruzzi opened Water Brothers Surf and Skate, which became the hub of surf-skate culture in Rhode Island. And in the spirit of "If you build it, they will come," the various quarterpipes, halfpipes, and full-scale skateparks that Abbruzzi spearheaded attracted the world's greatest skateboarders.  Hailed as the "Godfather of New England surfing," Abbruzzi is a regular at Ruggles, the fabled reef break along the scenic Newport Cliff Walk. When it became endangered, he stepped up as the spot's most vocal advocate, fighting the good fight—and winning.  Abbruzzi is a punk rocker. In 1981, he, his brother, and some friends started the band Big World. Abbruzzi was the lead singer. He threw body and blood into the shows. Big World opened for Iggy Pop, The Tubes, and Johnny Thunders, among others. Abbruzzi is the subject of Water Brother: The Sid Abbruzzi Story, a 2024 feature documentary. Now 74, Abbruzzi lives with his wife Danielle not far from the break where he first rode his first waves some 60-plus years ago. In this episode of Soundings, Abbruzzi talks with Jamie Brisick about the founding of Water Brothers, the commitment of cold water surfing, building his legendary skatepark, playing music, and shaping New England's surf and skate scene for over half a century.

We explore how rituals can help us mark life's thresholds, whether they come as beginnings, endings, fresh starts, difficult goodbyes, or strange in-between seasons. Threshold rituals give our big emotions somewhere to go besides our shoulders, stomachs, jaws, nervous systems, and late-night Amazon carts.

So we are just doing one segment this month and it is with all of our Podcast Seniors.Thank you to Emerson Price, Elsie Cook, Jersey Hajostek, Molly Dixon, John Baldwin, Ailye Edwards and Trace Zeitler for the great years of podcasting!This segment is a bit chaotic, but the Seniors were excited for their last day of school. Good luck to all of them in the future!Thanks for listening.Ruggles

We explore how small, repeatable practices can become containers for growth, healing, and attention. Drawing from traditional wisdom, modern science, and reflections on ritual in the African Dagara tradition, we look at how rituals create thresholds between one way of being and another.

In this opening week of our series, The Ritual Life, we explore why human beings have always turned to rhythm, repetition, gesture, song, silence, and shared practices to create connection and make meaning in a chaotic world. Rituals help ground us

This week, we'll explore what happens when that way of seeing begins to soften how we move through life. Humor, laughter, and exuberant joy are not distractions from reality. They can be ways of meeting reality with greater spaciousness, resilience, and wonder. Laughter helps us zoom out, unclench our butt-cheeks a little, and better appreciate the strange, beautiful, and often ridiculous experience of being human

In this episode of the HVAC Know It All Podcast, host Gary McCreadie is joined by Eric Ruggles, Director of Engineering at Ritchie Engineering Co., Inc. (YELLOW JACKET), to discuss the key differences between airflow and static pressure and how to measure both correctly. Eric explains how airflow is calculated using air velocity and duct size, while static pressure is measured across system components to understand system performance. The conversation covers tools like hot wire anemometers and manometers, along with proper testing methods such as duct traversing and pressure tip placement. Gary and Eric also explore common issues like high static pressure caused by poor duct design, dirty filters, or oversized equipment, and how these problems can impact overall system efficiency. In this conversation, Eric explains the differences between airflow and static pressure in HVAC systems and how each one is measured. He describes how airflow is based on air speed and duct size, while static pressure shows how much resistance the system has. Eric and Gary discuss tools like hot wire anemometers and manometers, along with proper testing methods such as duct traversing and pressure tip placement.

We spend a lot of energy trying to smooth the edges, hide the cracks, and present the polished version of ourselves. This week, we'll explore the quiet power of things that bear the marks of time, use, loss, and repair, and why they often move us in ways polished perfection cannot. In a culture fixated on flawless appearances, we're making room for the light that shines through the cracks, for the grace that emerges through loss, change, and the passage of time.

Happy March everyone!Thanks for tuning in to our March PodcastStudent Talk #1 has Molly Dixon, Emerson Price and Jersey Hajostek talking about prom and whining about how tired they are.Student Talk #2 has Elsie Cook, Ailye Edwards and Eddie Woeckner talking about the musical, Scholastic Bowl and some other stuff.Our Faculty interview is done by John Baldwin this month. He interviews our Science teacher Mrs. Pirog and they mostly talk about how great their advisory is.....Lastly we have Sophomore Addison Bigham being interviewed by Trace Zeitler. They talk about her sports injuries and all of her activities at MCHS.Thank you for listening and have a Happy Easter!Ruggles

Beauty is not in short supply, but our attention often is. We spend so much of life skimming past the familiar that the everyday starts to look, well, ordinary. Same street. Same dishes. Same inbox. Same tree outside the window doing tree things again. Has life lost its wonder or have we just stopped noticing?

This week, we explore how beliefs become behaviors and how our daily patterns reveal what we love, fear, and value most. We look at the difference between beliefs and values, and how they shape one another. Along the way, we'll consider the strange wisdom of the gut, the power of repetition, and the way identity is formed through what we do again and again.

Brad kicks off our new series The Architecture of Belief with his talk, “How Beliefs Form.”

This week's wrap-up talk is about the part we usually skip over: creating an environment that makes quiet practices sustainable. Silence, simplicity, and sabbath are beautiful ideas but they require intentionality on our part to make those practices stick.

ABOUT THE EPISODE: When parents hear "wilderness therapy," their minds often race to worst-case scenarios: punishment, boot camps, kids forced to survive in harsh conditions. But Trish Ruggles, who spent over a decade as a field guide and wilderness therapist before becoming an educational consultant, has a different story to tell. After 21 years in the field and working with countless families through Pathfinder Consulting, Trish knows that wilderness therapy has evolved dramatically from its origins.What makes wilderness therapy effective isn't the outdoor skills or fresh air - though those certainly help. It's magic lies in the complete removal of 'noise.' When you take a struggling adolescent out of their always-on life and place them in the wilderness, the volume goes down on everything that keeps them from thriving. No bedroom door to close, no delivery apps to summon food, no distractions to buffer the work of actually facing themselves. And there are immediate, natural consequences their adolescent brain can actually understand.Trish's approach is refreshingly honest and practical. She'll be the first to tell you wilderness therapy isn't for everyone, but for the kid who's stuck in their room, the one running wild in the streets, or the treatment-experienced individual who knows how to game the residential system, wilderness creates something that can't be replicated indoors: a space where you can't phone it in, where every action impacts your group, and where real-life consequences teach more than any lecture ever could.You'll learn:Key myths and facts about today's outdoor behavioral health offeringsThe critical, natural consequences that wilderness experiences provide in real-timeHow wilderness has evolved from its primitive rootsWhy adopted kids and those with attachment challenges often thrive in wilderness despite parents' fearsThe truth about getting kids to agree to, and actually go to an outdoor, adventure or wilderness programEPISODE RESOURCES:Website Trish Ruggles Trish on Hopestream episode 202 Will White's Hopestream podcast episode 14 This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityGet our free, 4-video course, Hope Starts Here, and access to our Limited Membership hereLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

This week's installment in our Quiet Practices for Loud Times series asks us to rethink our relationship with rest, not just as something we do to recover from working, but as essential preparation for living in our noisy, chaotic world.

canal.march.esCasada por azar (No Man of Her Own, 1932, EE. UU.), de Wesley Ruggles, con Clark Gable, Carole Lombard y Dorothy Mackaill. Presentador: Luis E. Parés Jerry (Clark Gable) es un timador que se encapricha de Connie (Carole Lombard), una chica de pueblo que trabaja como bibliotecaria. Tras una apuesta, Jerry accede a contraer matrimonio con Connie, pero ella no tardará en descubrir la auténtica identidad de su marido. El filme de 1932 fue estrenado sin censura, hecho que provocó en Jason Joy (férreo censor del cine Pre-Code), especial aversión por el carácter exhibicionista de la película. Clark Gable y Carole Lombard fueron una de las parejas más legendarias del cine de Hollywood. El sábado se proyecta el vídeo de la presentación del día anterior.Más información de este acto canal.march.es

Week 2 of Quiet Practices for Loud Times is all about Simplicity. Modern life runs on more: more options, more inputs, more tabs open (in your browser and your brain).

This week we're stepping into a new series at C3 called Quiet Practices for Loud Times and Brad Ruggles leads us off with his talk, "Silence."

As the year winds down and the calendar flips over, we're ringing in the New Year with a special bonus episode dedicated to one of our favorite—and most elusive—writers: Thomas Pynchon. In this New Year's Eve edition of Ticket Stubs, we gather to talk about what Pynchon's work has meant to us over the years, why his voice remains so singular in modern literature, and how his obsessions with paranoia, the past, and slapstick continue to resonate. From there, we dive into One Battle After Another, the recent adaptation of Vineland from director Paul Thomas Anderson, another favorite of ours. Then, we share our thoughts on Pynchon's long-awaited new novel, Shadow Ticket, before closing things out by putting our cards on the table with our own personal rankings of his novels. Whether you're a longtime Pynchon devotee, a curious newcomer, or just looking to close out the year with a little chaos and conspiratorial joy, we hope you'll spend what's left of 2025, or perhaps even the earliest part of 2026...or actually anytime in the foreseeable (or not?) future...with us. Any and all digressions are welcome when it comes to discussing this artist and his work. And believe me, we take digressions aplenty! As always, please like, subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and wherever else you listen. Got thoughts or questions? Email us at huffmanbrothersproductions@gmail.com.

We arrive at Winter Solstice, the longest night and shortest day of the year. In a season when many of us feel the weight of less light and, at times, the heaviness of depression. Instead, we'll explore what it means to walk together into the dark and to meet winter with honesty, gentleness, and open hearts.

We pick up where the snowstorm left us and land the plane on our Memento Mori series with a talk called “The Good Death.” For centuries, many cultures have had their own sense of what makes a “good death” and how to prepare for it.

“THE HOLMES ACTING DYNASTY: FROM STAGE TO SCREEN” - 11/24/25  (115) When we think of the great acting family dynasties of Hollywood, we often think of the Barrymores, the Carradines, or the Fondas, but today we'll be discussing another acting dynasty that may not be as familiar, but is every bit as interesting. The HOLMES family consisted of prolific character actor TAYLOR HOLMES, whose career spanned from Broadway to film to TV, his actress wife, EDNA PHILLIPS, and their talented children, PHILLIPS HOLMES, a leading man of the early 1930s, MADELEINE TAYLOR HOLMES, a gifted character performer in her own right, and actor RALPH HOLMES, whose early promise was tragically cut short. Joining us is special guest actress/musician MICHELLE HOLMES, who is a cousin of Taylor Holmes. Together, we'll explore how the Holmes family helped shape the Golden Age of Hollywood — and how their influence still lingers today.

There are many classics that went on to take home the top prize at the Oscars.  And there are those that, well ... let's just say that we still shake our heads why certain films got on the Academy voters' good graces in such a way that they were chosen as Best Picture of that year.  At the fourth Academy Awards ceremony, Cimarron was selected as the best film.  However, after almost a century later the question isn't really if it deserved it, the question is "how could that have happened?"  Well, this Wesley Ruggles epic does have the scope and the stars to at least attempt to justify its win.  The writing, technical aspects, and the acting say otherwise. Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he evaluates everything that has to do with Cimarron, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1930.Download, listen, and share ALL Rewatching  Oscar episodes.SUBSCRIBE and FOLLOW Rewatching Oscar:Website: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comApple Podcasts/iTunesSpotifyGoogle PodcastsiHeart RadioPodchaserPodcast AddictTuneInAlexaAmazon Overcasts Podcast Addict Player FMRSS Feed: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1815964.rssWebsite: https://rewatchingoscar.buzzsprout.comSocial Media Links: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, BlueSkyShare your thoughts and suggestions with us through:Facebook Messenger or email us atjack@rewatchingoscar.com or jackferdman@gmail.comMusic by TurpacShow Producer: Jack FerdmanPodcast Logo Design: Jack FerdmanMovie (audio) trailer courtesy of MovieClips Classic TrailersMovie (audio) clips courtesy of YouTubeSupport us by downloading, sharing, and giving us a 5-star Rating.  It helps our podcast continue to reach many people and make it available to share more episodes with everyone.Send us a text

Memento mori—Latin for “remember that you must die”—may sound grim, but this ancient Stoic reminder is really an invitation to live more deeply by remembering our mortality. Death is not the opposite of life but part of it. When we face our impermanence with honesty and curiosity, fear begins to soften, gratitude deepens, and life itself grows more vivid.

Lead Teacher Brad Ruggles presents the last segment in our series, The Empire of Screens: Wisdom for Living in the Attention Economy.

The Empire of Screens: Wisdom for Living in the Attention Economy is our current focus, and this week Lead Teacher Brad Ruggles continues with Part Three: Watching the Watchers.

Lead Teacher Brad Ruggles continues his series on Stories That Shape Us with Part 3, Absolutes…

Last week, we began our new series Stories That Shape Us by looking at the story of Separation. This week we turn to Scarcity, the story of “not enough."

A chapter closes, as the the Borgo Pass Horror Podcast reviews the last of the true Universal Monsters films still on the shelf: 1940's The Invisible Woman starring Virginia Bruce, John Barrymore, John Howard and Charles "Charlie" Ruggles.Joining Jim on this episode is first-time co-host Bill Fleck: classic horror writer and blogger, and author of the books "Chaney's Baby" and "Chaney's Audition".

Brad returns beginning with the first of a two-part talk called Stories That Shape Us. This first week, Scarcity and Separation, explores how the inherited stories of “not enough” and disconnection shape our daily lives. Scarcity breeds hurry, greed, and comparison, while separation convinces us we're cut off from one another and from the natural world.
