Our August break continues and we're throwing it way back to Episode 34 with Aaron Mankin. A true American hero, Aaron Menken joined Paul Rieckhoff at the Classic Car Club in New York for an incredibly powerful conversation. Having survived a catastrophic IED explosion in Iraq that left him with severe burns and countless injuries shares the story of his journey to recovery with Paul in this riveting conversation. This is about more than just survival—it's about choosing hope over despair and we're sure it will leave you feeling inspired. Aaron's injuries have meant he's had to endure over 70 surgeries to reconstruct his face and body, but he's lifting up others by turning his recovery into a mission to inspire others. He talks about the extraordinary support of Operation Mend at UCLA, a program that not only rebuilt his face but also helped restore his soul. With his trademark humor, he recalls a memorable encounter at the Playboy Mansion, where he found himself in a room with more plastic surgery than any place on Earth. It's a masterclass in turning trauma into purpose. The importance of gratitude and service, and a unique look at how you define a leader and a patriot. His powerful message is a must-listen interview with a man who has every reason to be angry but chooses to be happy and inspire others instead. And people like that are why we built this show. -WATCH video of Paul and Aaron's conversation. -Learn more about Independent Veterans of America and all of the IVA candidates. -Join the movement.

In “A College Guide for the Perplexed,” our feature essay this month at Mosaic, our focus is on higher-education reform, the future and fate of the humanities, and helping parents of Jewish students figure out the best places to pursue university studies. This is not the first time that Mosaic has dealt with these and related issues. In May 2024, my Mosaic colleague Andrew Koss wrote a searching, provocative essay in which he looked specifically at the field of Jewish studies. In the spring of that year, when campuses had exploded in pro-Hamas, anti-Jewish activism, how did professors of Jewish studies react? How should they have reacted? Andrew probes the history and sociology of this academic discipline in his blockbuster essay “Jewish Studies against the Jews.” Later that month, we invited one of the eminent figures in the field of Jewish studies, the UCLA historian David N. Myers, to discuss the essay with Andrew. Professor Myers, as Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver notes in his introductory remarks to that conversation, is prominent not only in his scholarship but also in his public commentary—on questions of Israeli public policy and defense policy, and American public policy—that is very different from our general orientation at Mosaic. We were grateful that he joined us, despite those differences, and at the end of their interaction, some of the core tensions and disagreements between Andrew and David come to the surface. Their conversation was broadcast exclusively for Mosaic subscribers. Today we're airing as a podcast this dialogue about whether and why Jewish studies as a field has turned against Jews on campus and beyond.

They're thinking about their day. They're thinking about their own problems. They're not thinking about you. If they do have a thought about you, it's pretty transient. It's pretty quick. It's not like they're dwelling on it like the person with social anxiety is.” ~Ken Goodman, LCSW Our guest, Ken Goodman, LCSW, specializes in the treatment of anxiety disorders and OCD.

We are about to enter “Latino Heritage Month”, and we know that the continued onslaught on our communities casts a shadow on our celebrations. This is why we invited Dr. David Hayes-Bautista to remind us about our longstanding legacy and POWER in this country. Dr. Hayes-Bautista is a professor of medicine and director of the Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture at the School of Medicine, UCLA. Beyond that, he is also the author of “El Cinco de Mayo: An American Tradition” where he tells the fascinating story about how the US-based celebration is about much more than commemorating the battle of Puebla. We also dive into new research that underscores what we have always known, this country and especially this state, is powerful because of Latinos, not in spite of us.

Episode 200: All About Ascites. Jesica Mendoza explains the pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of ascites. Dr. Arreaza adds input about early detection and prevention of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. Written by Jesica Mendoza, OMS IV, Western University, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific. 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.Welcome to our episode 200! It is an honor to welcome back a wonderful medical student, her name is Jesica, and she has prepared this topic, and she is excited to share this information with us. Jesica presented in June this year an episode about gestational diabetes (episode 193) and today she will talk about ascites. Jesica, please tell us who you are again. What is ascites?Ascites is the buildup of fluid in between the visceral peritoneum and the parietal peritoneum in the abdomen. This is often caused by cirrhosis of the liver due to the increased portal HTN which leads to increased nitrous oxide (NO) and prostaglandins which then causes splanchnic vasodilation and decreased effective arterial volume. The decrease in arterial volume then causes an increase in the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) and antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the renal system which leads to sodium and water retention. This then causes a net reabsorption of fluids and ascites.Evaluation of ascites.Once someone has been found to have ascites the next step will be a diagnostic paracentesis. This includes removing fluid from the peritoneal cavity in order to determine the SAAG (Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient) score. SAAG : (serum albumin) − (albumin level of ascitic fluid). The two values should be measured at the same time.This score helps determine the cause of the ascites with a score >1.1 g/dL indicating portal hypertension usually due to liver disease such as cirrhosis. A SAAG score of 250 PMNS/mL. Fluid should be sent to the lab for culture and then antibiotics should be started. IV 3rd generation cephalosporins are typically used. Fluoroquinolones are also used to prevent the recurrence of SBP.If you desire to learn more about SBP, listen to our episode 123. By the way, propranolol is a frequently used medication to prevent GI bleeding from esophageal varices in cirrhosis and also to decrease the development of ascites. It should be used in patients who have compensated cirrhosis and must be avoided in patients with refractory ascites, hypotension, renal dysfunction or active infection. So, to wrap things up we should remember that once we identify ascites with our physical exam of the patient, we should make sure to obtain a paracentesis as these results will be the main guide for our treatment. The treatment can then range from medical treatment such as spironolactone and/or loop diuretics to TIPS procedures, PleurX or even liver transplant. Always be on the lookout for SBP in patients with ascites and always remember to obtain a culture on the ascitic fluid prior to starting antibiotics. Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

A federal judge in San Francisco on Tuesday ordered the Trump administration to restore more than $80 million in grants it withheld from UCLA. The ruling comes as the government accuses the university of antisemitism on campus and discrimination in admissions. To resolve the funding freeze, Trump is demanding a $1 billion settlement, which Governor Gavin Newsom characterizes as extortion and UC officials say would “completely devastate” the public university system. We look at how UCLA and other universities are responding to Trump's pressure campaign.

Lehi Pioneers care package Utes insider Steve Bartle What You May Have Missed
Old Friends, New SeasonsWhen Mike Yam and I sit down together, it never feels like an interview. It feels like slipping back into a rhythm we've had for over a decade — back when we were in the Pac-12 Network studio, swapping stories between segments, wondering where the game might take us next or driving through the country roads in Oregon on the way to training camp.Today's conversation, presented by our founding sponsor, 76, keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat, dives into the Bill Belichick experience, Oregon State, Washington State, USC's former QB Miller Moss and a theory about Stanford and Andrew Luck. We also talk about the recent news around ESPN acquiring NFL Network. Overall, it is a conversation that will take you down memory lane, leave you laughing and always rooting for Mike Yam.Mike's journey since those days has been something to watch. NFL Network host. CW studio anchor for Pac-12 and ACC football. Author of a children's book, Fried Rice and Marinara. TEDx speaker. And one of the most well-connected, well-respected voices in the sport. But when we sat down for this conversation, it wasn't about titles. It was about the moments that stick with you, the ones that remind you why you fell in love with this game in the first place.He'd just come from ACC Media Days, where Bill Belichick walked into the room and made it go completely silent. Players — not even from his team — made a beeline toward him. And the thing that stuck with Mike? Belichick already knew them. He'd studied them. That's the part TV cameras miss: the curiosity, the attention to detail, the quiet personality that comes out when the mic isn't hot.When Mike sat down to interview players he sat across from former USC QB Miller Moss, now at Louisville. He saw a calm, professional presence — the kind that makes you think this team could be in the ACC title mix right away. Can you imagine a Louisville/USC bowl game? Playoff game?! We also kicked around a theory I've had: what if Andrew Luck — now Stanford's GM — stepped into the head coach role? Mike's take? He sees Luck's value as even greater in the GM seat, but we both agree: if Stanford truly commits to football, they could have the most unique offering in the sport.And then, Mike told me what it was like to walk back into a Pac-12 set for the first time since the network made a major pivot. Same desk. Same redwood panels. Even the same scratches. It brought him back to 2012, the first time he ever touched that desk and thought, This is home. I could hear in his voice that, even after everything, part of it still is.We ended where we began — with the two schools still carrying the Pac-12 flag this fall: Oregon State and Washington State. Mike believes there's a massive opportunity for both teams to win now, not just for themselves but for the future of the league. Mike's living through uncertainty again — ESPN is acquiring NFL Media, and no one really knows what that means yet. But he's showing up for his colleagues, staying present in the work, and holding on to the gratitude we both share: we were once kids on the East Coast dreaming of being in these rooms, and now here we are — telling stories from them.This one was special. It's family. And hope you enjoy it, know I did.I'm off to Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois before a west coast loop back to Oregon, Washington, UCLA and USC this week. As always, follow us on social media for stories from the road.Much love and stay steady,— Yogi This is a public episode.

Devy Devotional Podcast Episode Notes: Next Man UpDate: August 13, 2025Hosts: John Arrington, Andy StarrNote: Aaron Wilcox was absent for this episode.IntroductionJohn Arrington hosts alongside Andy Starr, filling in for the absent Aaron Wilcox.The episode focuses on recent injuries in college football, particularly during fall camps, and discusses the "next man up" for key teams, exploring potential replacements and their impact on team dynamics and fantasy football (Devy and CFF).Key Topics and Discussions1. General Injury OverviewThe hosts discuss the impact of injuries across college football, noting that while some are minor, others could have significant long-term effects.The focus is on identifying players who could step up in the absence of injured starters, especially at running back and wide receiver positions.2. Notre Dame: Keidren Young's Season-Ending InjuryInjury: Keidren Young (RB, Notre Dame) suffered a season-ending ACL tear.Impact: Young was expected to have a role as a spell back for Jeremiah Love, particularly on early downs. His injury disrupts his development and role for 2025.Next Man Up: Aneas Williams is highlighted as a potential beneficiary, likely stepping into a larger role in the running back room. The hosts note Notre Dame's limited depth at RB, with only Jeremiah Love, Jadarian Price, and Aneas Williams listed alongside Young on the depth chart (per Our Lads).Future Outlook: Young's injury could push him to re-earn his role in 2026, especially with Love and Price potentially leaving. Concerns arise about Notre Dame recruiting over Young or adding walk-ons to bolster depth.Devy Notes: Williams is seen as an electric back with more explosiveness than Young, offering a promising 1-2 punch for 2026 if Young recovers fully. However, the hosts express caution about running back injuries in general, citing examples like Jonathan Brooks and CJ Baxter.3. Iowa: Kamari Moulton's Hamstring InjuryInjury: Kamari Moulton (RB, Iowa) is sidelined with a hamstring injury, missing practice in the week leading up to the episode.Impact: Moulton was expected to lead Iowa's backfield after Caleb Johnson's surprising 2024 season. A prolonged absence could severely hamper Iowa's already weak offense.Next Man Up: The depth chart behind Moulton is thin, with Jayzeon Patterson, Terrell Washington, Xavier Williams, and Brevin Doll listed. None have shown significant promise, with low big-time run rates and PPR points per touch.Discussion: The hosts express concern about Iowa's running game without Moulton, noting the team's historical reliance on defense and tight ends rather than offensive firepower. They discuss the addition of FCS transfer quarterback Mark Grunowski, who could add a rushing element, but doubt Iowa will shift to a spread offense under coach Kirk Ferentz.Devy Notes: Moulton's 7% big-time run rate offers some optimism if he returns healthy, but the hosts are pessimistic about Iowa's offense without him, predicting a potential struggle to reach 200 rushing yards as a team.4. Florida: Wide Receiver InjuriesInjuries:Eugene Wilson III (WR) has been limited in spring and fall practices due to an undisclosed injury.Dallas Wilson (WR, true freshman) is in a hard cast for a lower leg injury, expected to miss at least a week or two.Impact: Florida's wide receiver room is depleted, raising concerns about offensive production, especially with a tough 2025 schedule.Next Man Up:J. Michael Sturdivant (WR, transfer from Cal): Expected to fill a role similar to Kahleil Dike but has regressed since a 755-yard sophomore season at Cal (2022). His 315 yards in 2024 at UCLA raise doubts about his ability to exceed 300-500 yards in the SEC.Vernell Brown III (WR, true freshman): A five-star recruit with inconsistent camp reports but high athletic potential. He could seize a starting role if Wilson and Wilson are sidelined.Tank Hawkins (WR, true sophomore): Showed promise with a 4.6 average depth of target (A-dot) on limited routes (46) in 2024. Could step up as a possession receiver.Other Names: Aiden Mizell and Khalil Jackson are mentioned but deemed unexciting due to limited production (Jackson had 13 yards in 2024).Discussion: The hosts speculate on lineup adjustments, suggesting Eugene Wilson could move to the X-receiver role with Brown in the slot if injuries persist. They emphasize the need for quarterback DJ Lagway to elevate the offense, noting his shoulder and calf injuries as concerns. Florida's tough schedule and coach Billy Napier's job security add urgency to getting top players like Brown on the field.Devy Notes: Brown is the most exciting prospect for Devy purposes, with potential to break out if given opportunities. Sturdivant and Hawkins are less appealing, with Sturdivant's decline making him a risky bet.5. LSU: Wide Receiver InjuriesInjuries:Nick Anderson (WR, transfer from Oklahoma) is recovering from a quadriceps injury, possibly related to a car accident and concussion protocol.Aaron Anderson (WR) has been sidelined during fall camp, with limited details on the injury.Impact: LSU's deep wide receiver room mitigates the impact, but the injuries could open doors for younger players.Next Man Up:Barion Brown (WR): A former Kentucky standout with a strong freshman year, Brown has earned all-SEC preseason honors and praise in camp. He's listed as a backup flanker but could see significant snaps.Zavion Thomas (WR): Also receiving camp buzz but hasn't stood out significantly as a receiver.Chris Hilton Jr. (WR): The presumed starter at X-receiver, Hilton has big-play potential (2.5+ yards per route run in three seasons) but only 225 yards in 2024. His role is questioned due to competition from younger talent.Kylan Billiot (WR, true sophomore): A highly-touted recruit listed as third-string behind Nick Anderson. Could see snaps if injuries persist.Teron Francis (WR, true freshman): Nicknamed “Man Child,” Francis has generated hype for his athleticism and camp performance, potentially pushing for a role.Discussion: The hosts debate whether veterans like Hilton and Aaron Anderson can hold off younger talents like Billiot and Francis. LSU's passing game, led by quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, is expected to remain strong despite injuries due to the team's depth.Devy Notes: Brown and Francis are the most intriguing for Devy leagues, with Brown offering immediate production potential and Francis as a long-term upside pick. Hilton's big-play ability is noted but tempered by his limited production.6. Oklahoma: Running Back InjuriesInjuries:Taylor Tatum (RB) and Jayden Ott (RB) are dealing with minor injuries, expected to return by Week 1.Xavier Robinson (RB) is also injured, leaving only Javontae Barnes and true freshman Torrey Blaylock as healthy backs in camp.Impact: Oklahoma's running back room is described as “disgusting” due to its lack of proven talent and injury concerns.Next Man Up:Torrey Blaylock (RB, true freshman): Has impressed in camp with his speed and explosiveness, potentially earning a role in specific packages.Javontae Barnes (RB): Healthy as of recent reports but hampered by a 2023 foot injury (dead bone removed near his big toe). His 577 yards in 2024 were underwhelming (4.7 YPC).Jayden Ott (RB): A former standout at Cal, Ott struggled in 2024 but could rebound if healthy.Taylor Tatum (RB): A highly-touted recruit with better per-carry metrics than Barnes but limited by inexperience and injury.Discussion: The hosts highlight Blaylock's potential to see the field due to his explosiveness, despite being low on the depth chart. Concerns linger about Barnes' recovery from his foot injury and Ott's ability to return to form. The addition of quarterback John Mateer and new offensive coordinator could shift focus to the passing game.Devy Notes: Blaylock is a sleeper pick for Devy leagues due to his camp buzz and the weak depth chart. Tatum remains a high-upside prospect, while Ott and Barnes are less appealing due to recent struggles.Additional NotesAaron Wilcox's Absence: The hosts humorously note Aaron's absence, joking about his fear of the “Guess the Guy” segment, which was skipped for the second consecutive week.College Football Excitement: With the season two weeks away, the hosts are excited about upcoming games, noting a stronger-than-usual Week 0 and Week 1 schedule.Technical Issues: Andy experienced internet connectivity issues during the podcast, briefly dropping out. John's daughter inadvertently turned off his house lights via voice-controlled devices, adding a humorous moment.Key Devy TakeawaysHigh-Upside Prospects to Watch: Vernell Brown III (Florida), Torrey Blaylock (Oklahoma), Barion Brown (LSU), and Teron Francis (LSU) are highlighted as potential breakout players if injuries create opportunities.Injury Concerns: Keidren Young (Notre Dame), Kamari Moulton (Iowa), Eugene Wilson III (Florida), Dallas Wilson (Florida), Nick Anderson (LSU), and DJ Lagway (Florida) face varying degrees of injury risk, impacting their Devy value.Depth Chart Analysis: Teams like LSU and Florida have deeper talent pools to weather injuries, while Iowa and Oklahoma face significant challenges if their injured players miss extended time.ClosingThe hosts thank listeners for their support on Gridiron Ratings' YouTube channel and Spotify, encouraging engagement through comments and subscriptions.They promise to return with Aaron Wilcox for the next episode, as college football season approaches.Runtime: ~1 hourListen on: Gridiron Ratings YouTube, SpotifyNext Episode: TBD, with hopes of Aaron Wilcox's return and live football discussions.

The true story of THE ENTITY doesn't begin with Carla Moran coming home from work one night, it actually started with researchers Barry Taff and Kerry Gaynor from the Department of Parapsychology at UCLA visiting the home on August 22, 1974. A short time earlier, the two men had been discussing the paranormal in a local bookstore when they were approached by a woman name Doris Blither, who wanted to tell them about her haunted house. The pair agreed to meet Doris at her home, not realizing at the time how baffling and terrifying the case would turn out to be. Have a question or comment?

SEASON 4 EPISODE 3: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Hey! While Putin is here in Alaska so Trump can kiss his fanny, let's arrest him on behalf of the International Criminal Court and its member states Canada and Mexico who want to try him for kidnapping Ukrainian children and lying that they're orphans and forcibly converting them into Russians! The willingness to let this scum set foot on American territory is all part of Trump's desperate need to win an award. A major award. A major award like the one the father wanted in the movie "A Christmas Story." He wants what his idiot press secretary Karoline Leavitt calls "The Noble Peace Prize." He'll do anything to get it. Because he needs it to distract you from Trumpstein. Happily Jayvee Vance is back to remind you all that the Epstein files contain all kinds of dirt about Democratic billionaire politicians of 20 years ago. Of whom Trump was one. Registered Democrat. Oops. And it turns out that meeting Vance and the FBI and DOJ chiefs and the White House Chief of Staff DIDN'T have at the VP's residence about Epstein WITHOUT Trump? They had the Trumpstein meeting. They just had it somewhere else. And once again: why did they have it WITHOUT TRUMP? And now Trump is trying to distract by demanding all those DC homeless people who read Truth Social move out of town or else he'll...make them look at his new gold ballroom. And oh by the way as the leading universities continue to fold before Trump's dictatorial censorship and threat, somebody's standing up to him: Stanford's student-run newspaper is suing him for violating the 1st Amendment rights of its staffers. The leaders of all of the El Foldo Universities (Columbia, Penn, UCLA) should resign and let the students lead the resistance. B-Block (29:17) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Kristi Noem is upset South Park made her look like a cartoon. Well, MORE like a cartoon. I need to apologize for Mike Huckabee again insulting England. And Pam Bondi just offered you $50,000,000 if you can tell her where Nicolas Maduro is. He's in Venezuela. Can we each have our 50 mill now? C-Block (41:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: It's the 37-year anniversary of Gretzky Week! My greatest scoop, the one I did the least work on of any story I ever covered. The sources literally phoned it in to me. The day Wayne Gretzky was traded to the Los Angeles Kings and I was the first on television with it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
