Episode 123:  In today's episode, Murray attorney Jeff Roberts discusses an interesting question, "Can I file for workers' comp and social security disability?"  Some workplace injuries are severe enough that the injured worker will not be able to return to work.  They can receive permanent total disability benefits from workers' compensation, but they may also have the right to file for social security disability at the same time. Jeff has over 33 years of experience handling workers' compensation claims and social security disability claims, in addition to his personal injury practice.  It's not often you'll find a law firm that handles all 3 of those areas of law. Jeff describes a previous client who contacted him to file for social security disability.  After speaking with the individual, he determined the injury was work-related, and thus qualified the person to file for workers' comp.  It's a complex decision, involving a very complex system.  It's a good idea to seek the advice of an experienced attorney to help you to work though the details of your specific situation. Jeff can handle social security disability claims in all 50 states. Jeff Roberts Has a Law Office in Hopkinsville Jeff's office is located at 1910 S. Virginia St, Suite 210.  He can meet with you to discuss your specific situation.  He offers free consultations.  We hope you found this episode insightful and helpful.

The Day Foretold, Judgement Day. This week we will be discussing Malachi 4. Malachi told the people to turn away from sin as they looked forward to the promised Messiah. Years later, God sent John the Baptist to prepare the way for Jesus—the Messiah. Jesus brought a message of repentance and salvation. The teacher today is Adam.

Ever felt like you weren't qualified for what God is asking you to do? In this final message of the "We Can" series, Pastor Carl Catalanotto shares a powerful reminder that God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called. Speaking from The Tabernacle Church in Covington, Louisiana, Pastor Carl gets real about his own journey, from finishing high school at night to becoming a pastor without any formal ministerial training. He knows exactly what it feels like to question God's choice and feel like you are landing on Mars when you step behind a pulpit.In this message titled "We Can Do More Than We Think," we look at biblical figures like Moses, Gideon, and Mary who all felt inadequate but were used by God in incredible ways. Pastor Carl also shares a life-changing story from his visit to the Brownsville Revival in 1995 that completely transformed his ministry and his heart. He recounts the moment he decided to "repent of religion" and invite the Holy Spirit to be the true leader of his church.If you have been focusing on your weaknesses lately, this message is for you. Learn how to tap into the power of the Holy Spirit to become a better parent, a better friend, and a better follower of Christ than you ever imagined possible. As the sources remind us, God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or even think.

A quarter century after she graduated, Martha Covington is still one of the best hitters in Campbell and Atlantic Sun Conference softball history. The fast pitch era of Campbell's softball program was less than a decade old in 1996 when Martha first stepped into the left-handed batter's box. She immediately showed Campbell fans that a hitter could display power without sacrificing contact. She shattered the school records for doubles, home runs, total bases and RBI. She set a school mark for slugging percentage, and her .429 batting average is second all-time in Campbell history. Martha was a four-time Atlantic Sun first-team all-conference performer, three-time All-Southeast Region selection and a 3-time ASun batting champ. It's no surprise that she was a member of this year's Campbell Athletics Hall of Fame induction class. In the next episode of Tales from the Creek, Martha Covington chats with Stan Cole about her love of the outdoors, her path to Campbell, how a strong work impacted her performance, and more. Suggestions for future Tales from the Creek interview subjects are always welcome and may be sent to Stan Cole at cole@campbell.edu.

Most people see parking as a necessary evil—a frustrating obstacle between you and wherever you're going. Grant Murray saw an opportunity to turn it into something cities, businesses, and consumers all benefit from.In this episode, Grant joins us to share how he built Proximity Parking, a platform that transforms parking payments into an economic development tool by connecting drivers with nearby local businesses at the exact moment they're parking.Grant traces his path from UK accounting student to Connetic Ventures intern to founder, explaining how he raised $1.5 million from Connetic, KeyHorse Capital, and strategic angels to build a product he's now rolling out across Kentucky. We dig into how he validated the idea by talking to businesses before writing a line of code, why governments are harder (but not impossible) to sell to, and how being based at Covington's SparkHaus helped him land his first city customers. With Lexington, Covington, and soon Newport live—and Louisville and Cincinnati in his sights—Grant makes the case for why staying in Kentucky has been a competitive advantage, not a compromise.Hosted by Logan JonesMiddle Tech is proudly supported by: KY Innovation → kyinnovation.com Awesome Inc → awesomeinc.org

Episode 122:  In today's episode, Hopkinsville workers' comp attorney Jeff Roberts discusses the various injuries in manufacturing plants in Christian County, Kentucky.  Over the past 33 years, Jeff has represented many worker's compensation clients in and around this area of western Kentucky.  Jeff has an office on South Virginia Street. Jeff has built a reputation built on small town service and big city results.  It's one of the reasons many of his colleagues, in all areas of Kentucky, regularly refer friends, family members, and people with workers' comp claims to him.  Jeff has also established a strong track record for winning cases before the Kentucky Supreme Court.

The Science of Snow Preparation When winter storms threaten the Shenandoah Valley, VDOT's Staunton District springs into action long before the first flakes fall. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael speaks with Ken Slack, Communications Specialist for the district, who reveals that preparation begins days in advance, with teams monitoring weather systems and planning for the worst-case scenario. "It's a whole lot easier and more efficient for us to scale back if we need to than it is to try to ramp up at the last minute," Ken explains. The district's response involves far more than simply sending out plows. In fact, VDOT employs a sophisticated approach that considers air temperature, ground temperature, precipitation type, and timing. Before a storm arrives, crews apply brine pre-treatment—those distinctive white stripes residents see on interstates and major roadways. However, this isn't done indiscriminately. If forecasters predict rain before snow, crews hold off on pre-treating because the rain would simply wash away these valuable resources. A Massive Operation Across 11 Counties The scale of VDOT's winter operations is staggering. The Staunton District covers 11 counties stretching from Winchester to Natural Bridge and west to Covington, including approximately 150 miles of I-81. During significant storms, the district mobilizes up to 900 trucks—a combination of VDOT equipment and contracted vehicles. "VDOT cannot do this alone," Ken emphasizes, noting that the agency begins reaching out to contractors and hired equipment operators as early as spring and summer. Moreover, the district's geography creates unique challenges. What happens in Highland County—Virginia's "Little Switzerland"—often differs dramatically from conditions in Frederick or Page counties. To address this variability, VDOT divides the district into three residencies, which are further broken down into area headquarters staffed by locals who know every cold spot and sun-deprived stretch of road in their territory. Why Your Street Gets Plowed Last Understanding VDOT's road hierarchy helps explain why some streets see plows immediately while others wait. The agency follows a clear priority system: interstates first, then primary roads (numbered below 600), followed by secondary roads (600 and higher), and finally subdivisions and side streets. This approach ensures that emergency responders can reach hospitals, fire departments remain accessible, and commerce continues flowing. During heavy, sustained snowfall, plow drivers may never leave the interstate. Ken describes drivers making continuous loops on their assigned sections—perhaps 13 miles of eastbound and westbound lanes—for their entire 12-hour shift. "By the time they do that whole circuit, an hour's probably passed," he notes. "And guess what? If it's snowing an inch an hour or quite often more, they're gonna be doing it again and again and again." The Driveway Dilemma and Other Frustrations Perhaps no issue generates more complaints than the freshly plowed driveway that gets filled back in by a passing plow truck. Ken addresses this head-on, explaining that drivers cannot lift their plows at every driveway without leaving dangerous gaps throughout their routes. Instead, he offers practical advice: when shoveling, push snow to the right side of the driveway (facing the road) to minimize re-accumulation, and if possible, wait until after the plow passes to clear the apron. Additionally, residents can help crews by parking off-street during storms, removing trash cans and other obstacles from roadways, and postponing travel. "Give us a chance to do our jobs," Ken urges, noting that plow operators navigate not just snow but also vehicles, mailboxes, fire hydrants, and occasionally even thrown snow shovels from frustrated residents. The Human Element Behind every plow truck sits a person working grueling 12-hour shifts, often for days at a time during major storms. These operators face thankless conditions—plowing day and night, navigating around obstacles, and dealing with both grateful residents offering coffee and angry ones shaking fists. Ken shares a heartwarming story of a driver who saw someone running toward his truck with a shovel, bracing for confrontation, only to receive a bag of donuts instead. The trucks themselves rarely stop running during major events. Like police cruisers, they simply swap drivers at shift changes, refuel, reload with salt, and head back out. This continuous operation keeps roads as clear as possible while snow continues falling. Planning for the Unpredictable Ultimately, VDOT's winter strategy balances preparation with flexibility. The agency maintains finite resources funded by taxpayers and must deploy them strategically. Teams make countless decisions—which roads to salt versus plow, when to call in contractors, how to allocate equipment across varying conditions—all while storms evolve unpredictably. For residents wondering when their street will be cleared, Ken offers reassurance: "We will get to you." The key is patience and understanding that during significant storms, crews work around the clock following a system designed to keep the most critical routes open first. And for those who spot a tractor or unmarked truck clearing their subdivision, there's a good chance VDOT is writing that operator a check—proof that the agency's network of support extends far beyond its own fleet. As winter weather continues threatening the region, one message rings clear: VDOT's snow response is equal parts science, strategy, and stamina, executed by dedicated crews who deserve recognition rather than snow shovels thrown at their trucks.

David in Covington's call starts out like any other then takes a turn for the weird. How does this keep happening?

660. Today we're joined by writer and cultural historian Brian Fairbanks, author of “Wizards: David Duke, America's Wildest Election, and the Rise of the Far Right.” In this book, Fairbanks delivers a vivid account of David Duke's 1991 run for governor of Louisiana — a campaign that shocked the country and revealed how extremist politics could slip into the mainstream. Through sharp reporting and a storyteller's eye, he reconstructs the chaos, the media frenzy, and the deeper social tensions that made that election a turning point in modern American politics. Fairbanks brings that same clarity to a very different American saga in “Willie, Waylon, and the Boys: How Nashville Outsiders Changed Country Music.” Here he traces the rise of the outlaw movement, showing how Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and their circle pushed back against Nashville's rigid studio system and reshaped the sound and soul of country music. He explores the rebellion, the artistry, and the cultural moment that allowed these musicians to redefine authenticity and leave a lasting imprint on American music. Beyond these two major works, Brian Fairbanks has built a reputation as a writer who connects individual stories to the larger forces shaping American life.

Heloise Hulse Cruzat wrote an article on the history of the Ursuline Nuns in New Orleans.      You have been told in eloquent periods of the founding of New Orleans, of its subsequent development, and I am to be the humble interpreter of another intimate chapter of its history: THE SHARE WOMEN TOOK IN ITS ESTABLISHMENT.      Can we mention the French colonial days without recalling the URSULINES, who by their unfaltering courage and their steady and efficient work, incorporated their history into that of our fair city.      Bienville realized that New Orleans would never attain his dream of greatness without education, and especially such an education of the female youth as would give worthy wives and mothers to the colonists. With this end in view, he intrusted to the Jesuit, Father de Beaubois, the care of choosing these educators. How successfully this mission was accomplished by his selection of the Ursulines of Rouen, the two past centuries have demonstrated.       A contract was signed by the Company of the Indies and the Ursulines, approved by brevet signed by Louis XV, and on February 22nd, 1727, Mother St. Augustin, Tranchepain, with eight professed nuns, a novice and two postulants sailed on the Gironde from L'Orient. This week in Louisiana history. January 9, 1877 Both Democrat Francis T. Nicholls and Republican Stephen B. Packard claim victory in election for governor; both take oath of office. This week in New Orleans history. Andrew Jackson arrived on board the steamer “Vicksburg” on January 8, 1840 at ten o'clock in the morning, landing at the Carrollton wharf, where an immense throng had assembled to welcome “the most distinguished citizen of the country.”  The specific reason for his presence was that a cornerstone was to be laid, commemorating his victories in the Battle of New Orleans, a quarter of a century before. General Jackson laid the cornerstone in the Place d'Armes, on January 9, 1840. It was not until some years later that the monument decided upon was the one of Jackson, designed by Clark Mills, which stands in the center of the ancient parade grounds for the troops. This statue has been called the “center piece of one of the finest architectural sittings in the world.” (NOPL) This week in Louisiana. January 10, 2026.

It  was the first book to interpret the steps specifically to address the unique issues women in recovery face, which has helped an untold number of people. Today I sit down with her to talk about her new book, Awaken Your Sexuality: A Guide to Connection and Intimacy after Addiction and Trauma This is a topic that has remained largely silent in recovery spaces for decades. We explore why sexuality is so often ignored in treatment and 12-step settings, how shame thrives in silence, and what it actually takes to rebuild a healthy, integrated relationship with our bodies, desires, and boundaries. Dr. Covington shares why healing must start with the self, how childhood trauma shapes adult intimacy. This episode is compassionate, practical, and incredibly validating for anyone in recovery who has ever felt lost and alone when dealing with their sexuality.

Keir Gumbs, Chief Legal Officer at Edward Jones, isn't here to maintain the status quo. He joined the largest U.S. financial services firm not to run legal as usual - but to lead a transformation. In this episode, Keir and Mary talk candidly about what it takes to build a modern legal function inside a legacy institution - and why the traditional law firm model may not survive the decade. Keir brings a rare 360° view of the legal world, with leadership roles at Uber, Broadridge, Covington, and the SEC. Now, he's putting that experience to work reshaping how legal, compliance, and risk teams partner with the business and what true enablement looks like. In this episode: Transformation Playbook: Why Keir spent his first year meeting with 500+ team members - and what it taught him about culture and leadership. Shared Services, Shared Wins: How he's connecting legal, compliance, and risk through a shared services model that's breaking down silos and boosting speed. Enable First, Protect Second: Keir's core legal philosophy - and how it's changing how his team shows up across the organization. Law Firm Economics, Under Fire: Keir sounds the alarm on unsustainable rate hikes and why smaller, specialized firms are increasingly winning the work. Outcome Over Hours: What he's looking for in alternative fee models, and the reality check law firms need to hear. If you're thinking about legal transformation, technology, or the future of firm partnerships, this conversation is a blueprint for what's next.

The Reagan National Defense Survey has again illuminated the MAGA world: MAGA Republicans are not isolationists, nor are the majority of Americans. Despite what those in Washington assert Americans believe, the latest polling reveals that 64 percent of Americans support U.S. leadership on the world stage, with eight in ten self-identified MAGA Republicans driving that figure. So why do we see this dissonance on the Right? Who gets to speak for “America First,” and what does it really mean? Why are figures within Trump's ranks convincing him that his base opposes intervention and a strong foreign policy? The latest polling reminds us that the American people know who our enemies are, and they are telling us how they want to deal with them. Who's going to listen?Roger Zakheim serves as the Washington Director of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute. He previously practiced law at Covington & Burling LLP where he led the firm's Public Policy and Government Affairs practice group. Before joining Covington, he was General Counsel and Deputy Staff Director of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee. Mr. Zakheim also served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense where he supported the department's policies and programs related to Iraq and Afghanistan coalition affairs. Mr. Zakheim also currently serves on the Board of Directors of the United States Institute of Peace and is a Commissioner on the Congressional Commission on the National Defense Strategy of the United States.Read the transcript here.Subscribe to our Substack here.

Humphrey's Executor v. United States, decided in 1935, upheld the Federal Trade Commission Act, declaring that a president can remove an FTC commissioner only for “inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office.” In March 2025, FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter was notified of her removal by President Trump, who stated in a letter that for her to remain an FTC commissioner was “inconsistent with [the] Administration’s priorities.” Slaughter won in district court, which ordered her reinstatement. After the D.C. Court of Appeals denied the government’s request for a stay, the Supreme Court granted certiorari and stayed the lower court’s ruling. Join us for a discussion of oral arguments in Trump v. Slaughter and the questions it presents about separation of powers, for-cause removal, and the future of Humphrey's Executor.

On November 20th, McGill University announced devastating budget cuts to its athletics programs and the dissolution of 25 varsity and competitive club sports, effective next year. Amongst that list was both men's and women's track and field, programs which have existed on campus for more than a century. The decision to cut the track & field program at one of Canada's oldest and most prestigious universities has quickly drawn the condemnation of the broader Canadian athletics community while raising concerns about the future viability of similar programs across the country. A petition launched in the wake of the announcement to save the program has already garnered more than 11,000 signatures.Joining the show today is Derek Covington, head of Friends of McGill Track & Field, High Performance Director of Athletisme Quebec, and alumnus of McGill Athletics, where he was a multiple time All-Canadian on the track. Derek highlights the critical role that McGill's track team has played as a development pathway for Canadian athletics talent, its importance to the broader track & field community in Montréal, and what McGill's decision means for the state of amateur athletics across the country. Learn more at Friends of McGill Track & FieldSign the Petition Follow @savemcgilltrack on InstagramSubscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.

Healthcare attorney Sarah Covington joins Tracy to discuss why proactive legal engagement saves independent practice owners both time and money. Drawing from her experience in big law, health systems, and her own practice, Sarah reveals the compliance requirements most practice owners don't know about and shares practical strategies for managing the juggling act between patient care and business leadership. From financial modeling that takes the fear out of reimbursement cuts to simple tech solutions that improve both patient experience and team efficiency, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on building sustainable, thriving practices.  Click here for full show notes  See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Episode Highlights  Why practices that engage legal counsel regularly actually have lower overall legal spend than those who wait for emergencies  The ACA compliance requirement that affects practices accepting Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP (and why you need quarterly compliance meetings)  How financial modeling transforms anxiety about reimbursement cuts into actionable business decisions  The power of time blocking to separate clinical work from business management—and why mixing these roles can cross ethical boundaries  Simple efficiency wins: How online patient scheduling reduces errors, improves cash flow, and creates better experiences for everyone  The "hat switching" challenge between clinician and entrepreneur mindsets  Why PCM (Principal Care Management) is often missed in specialist offices and how it can offset reimbursement cuts  Memorable Quotes  "The ones that I see really struggling—most of it is financial, and it's because there isn't that strong financial modeling in place."  "For a lot of practices that I work with, the ones that I see routinely engaging legal actually have lower overall legal spend than the ones that wait for issues."  "If you're feeling burned out, it's not you, it's the system."  "You want to continue providing that really great care for your patients, and you do that by having your doors open."  "Time block. Start time blocking and set aside: these are the hours where I work on business matters, these are the hours that I take care of patients."  Closing  Sarah Covington reminds us that independent practice owners are doing a fabulous job juggling way too many things in a system that creates unique constraints. The path forward isn't about working harder—it's about building the right support systems, making informed financial decisions, and protecting time for strategic thinking. Because when you take care of your business, you can continue taking care of your patients.  Guest Bio:  Sarah Covington's path to healthcare law began in an unexpected place—sitting in a children's hospital during her daughter's heart surgery. While halfway through her MBA, she observed the inefficiencies around her and decided to become part of the solution. After adding a healthcare management concentration to her degree (and ruling out medical school after realizing insides-on-the-outside weren't her thing), Sarah eventually pursued law school to build stronger skills for supporting founding teams.  Following a stint in Big Law that taught her lessons she uses daily, Sarah returned to her passion: healthcare innovation. Today, she works at the intersection of law and healthcare startups, helping founding teams navigate the complex regulatory landscape. Licensed in South Dakota and Arizona, Sarah is dedicated to figuring out the nooks and crannies of healthcare law to make the system a little better for the next generation.  Find Sarah:  Forward Slash/Health Website  LinkedIn  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy's LinkedIn  Business LinkedIn Page 

Dear Friends, I took so many notes during this conversation!  In this illuminating episode of Gateways to Awakening, host I speak with Candice Covington, author of Essential Oils in Spiritual Practice and Vibrational Nutrition and her latest book,  Floral Absolutes: Aromatic Healing for the Physical, Emotional, and Energy Body, about the living intelligence of the plant world — and how food, scent, and essence each carry unique energetic signatures that can shape our consciousness.Drawing from her background in Ayurveda, aromatherapy, and energy medicine, Candice reveals how every plant, from okra to rose, raspberry to pomegranate, holds a vibrational pattern that mirrors aspects of the human soul. She explains how subtle energies from plants can help us restore emotional balance, clear karmic imprints, protect our energetic boundaries, and even catalyze creativity and heart awakening. Whether you're new to the language of subtle energy or already working with essential oils and vibrational healing, this conversation will remind you that plants are living blueprints of the divine reflections of our own multidimensional intelligence.We talk about the following and more:1) The connection between vibrational nutrition, flower and food energetics, and archetypal forces in nature — showing how plants are not passive resources, but conscious allies in our evolution. 2) Why certain foods call to you at specific moments, how to select oils for emotional healing and protection, and how the act of eating, anointing, or smelling becomes a sacred dialogue with life itself.3) Tangible guidance for empaths, creatives, and anyone seeking to reclaim their vitality and inner sovereignty through plant consciousness.If this episode spoke to you: please share it, tag us @Gateways_To_Awakening, and leave a review on Apple Podcasts — it helps these conversations reach more people. For more from me: follow my writing on Substack (substack.com/@therealyasmeent), find me on Instagram @TheRealYasmeenT, or visit InnerKnowingSchool.com.

One former defense official summed it up: “They're definitely looking for more, and they're doing it in a deliberate and expansive way.” The Pentagon's urgency is clear. “China's ability to turn off the supply of these critical minerals would have a direct, palpable and adverse effect on US ability to field the kind of high-tech capabilities that we're going to need for any kind of strategic competition or conflict,” said Stephanie Barna of Covington & Burling in Washington. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA) adds fuel — $7.5 billion earmarked for critical minerals, including $2 billion to fortify the national stockpile and another $5 billion to expand U.S. supply chains. As one former official put it, offices handling mineral security are now “flush with cash.” Source: zerohedge.com A Hawkish Fed Official Is Rethinking His Stance on Rate Cuts  Raphael Bostic has spent most of 2025 as one of the Federal Reserve's most steadfast inflation hawks.
