The February 26 edition of the AgNet News Hour delivered one of the most powerful and personal interviews of the year, as hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill sat down with Rickey Bird, director and writer of the documentary Kern Oil. The conversation centered on California's oil industry, energy independence, and the ripple effects energy policy has on agriculture, freight, and rural communities. Bird, a third-generation oilfield worker from Bakersfield, shared how dramatically the industry has changed over the past several years. Despite California consuming roughly 1.8 million barrels of oil per day, in-state production continues to decline due to regulatory hurdles. Instead, the state imports oil from overseas — a move Bird argues increases costs while outsourcing environmental oversight. He emphasized that California-produced oil is among the most heavily regulated and environmentally monitored in the world. Yet, as production slows, communities like Taft and parts of Kern County are feeling the economic strain. Fewer permits, refinery closures, and regulatory uncertainty have led to job losses, shuttered businesses, and declining local tax revenues. The discussion also underscored how deeply interconnected oil is with agriculture. From fuel for tractors and irrigation pumps to freight transportation and fertilizer production, energy costs impact every step of the food supply chain. As Papagni noted, when fuel prices rise, so does the cost of getting grapes, almonds, and vegetables to market. Those increases ultimately reach the consumer. Bird also shared the deeply personal motivation behind his documentary. After years of declining work opportunities in the oilfield, his family experienced firsthand the emotional and financial toll that industry contraction can bring. His film aims to highlight not just policy debates, but the real families affected when jobs disappear in rural California. Kern Oil features interviews with oilfield workers, executives, community leaders, and policymakers, offering perspectives from across the industry. Bird says the goal is education — helping Californians understand how energy policy decisions affect everything from gas prices to property taxes. The episode also touched on broader themes of accountability and governance. With California facing budget challenges and rising living costs, the hosts discussed whether better management of existing natural resources could help stabilize local economies. As the conversation made clear, energy isn't just about fuel at the pump — it's about jobs, infrastructure, agriculture, and community stability. Kern Oil premieres this week at the historic Fox Theater in Bakersfield, with additional screenings planned across the state.

Episode 298 of The Rainmaking Podcast features Scott Love in conversation with Eva Wisnik on how to fit business development into an already hectic schedule—especially for busy law firm partners and associates. Eva explains that many lawyers are trained to “issue spot” (anticipate what can go wrong), which is great for client service but can sabotage rainmaking unless it's replaced with an opportunity-focused mindset. She reframes BD as “selling through substance”: asking better questions, showing genuine curiosity, and positioning outreach as problem-solving rather than “sales.” Her core message is that most BD resistance is fear (rejection, failure, imposing), and the antidote is shifting from self-focused thinking to client-centered value. Eva then gets tactical: build a pipeline by staying in touch with intent and consistency, because meaningful business relationships often take 2–5 years to convert. She recommends simple, repeatable habits—“one action a day” (send a thoughtful note, share a relevant article, set a meeting, register for a conference), plus tracking micro-actions to build momentum. Practical examples include handwritten notes, small meaningful gifts, and “thinking of you” outreach tied to something useful. Her three action steps: look backward to identify the clients/relationships you most enjoy and then find more like them, take one BD action daily, and track those actions as wins so the process stays sustainable and you maintain control of your career.

In this episode of BFR Radio, we shift our focus from the lower body to the shoulder and explore how blood flow restriction (BFR) can be applied across different phases of shoulder rehabilitation and training. The shoulder presents a unique challenge following injury or surgery. It is highly mobile, heavily reliant on neuromuscular control, and often cannot tolerate traditional high-load resistance training early in rehabilitation. Prolonged unloading, however, leads to rapid strength loss, impaired motor control, and delayed return to performance. To explore how BFR fits into this problem, this episode reviews two complementary research papers. The first paper examines the use of BFR following shoulder stabilisation surgery. Rather than comparing BFR to non-BFR, this study asks a more fundamental question: is BFR feasible, safe, and clinically meaningful in a post-operative shoulder population? Reference: McGinniss, J. H., Mason, J. S., Morris, J. B., Pitt, W., Miller, E. M., & Crowell, M. S. (2022). The effect of blood flow restriction therapy on shoulder function following shoulder stabilization surgery: A case series. International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy, 17(6), 1144. The second paper compares BFR versus non-BFR shoulder training in healthy individuals and introduces the concept of proximal benefit—the idea that applying BFR to the upper arm can meaningfully influence strength, endurance, and muscle adaptations at the shoulder. Reference: Lambert, B., Hedt, C., Daum, J., Taft, C., Chaliki, K., Epner, E., & McCulloch, P. (2021). Blood flow restriction training for the shoulder: a case for proximal benefit. The American journal of sports medicine, 49(10), 2716-2728. Across both studies, we discuss: Shoulder strength and performance outcomes Muscle mass, strength, and strength-endurance adaptations The role of exercise selection and task specificity Why endurance adaptations may transfer even when cuffs are removed How passive BFR may help attenuate muscle loss in the early post-operative phase The episode concludes by reframing BFR as a continuum-based training variable, rather than a niche rehabilitation tool—one that can be strategically applied across the full loading spectrum depending on the athlete's needs and constraints. Key Topics Covered BFR following shoulder stabilisation surgery Rotator cuff strength and performance testing Patient-reported outcomes and clinical relevance Proximal benefit and low-load shoulder training Passive BFR in early post-operative care Practical decision-making for clinicians and coaches Thanks for listening, and remember to keep the pump!   Chris

What does it really take to build a national middle-market law firm that grows fast, integrates cleanly, and keeps its partners committed rather than walking out the door? Bob Hicks, chairman and managing partner of Taft Stettinius & Hollister, explains how middle market mergers have powered Taft's expansion without sacrificing culture or retention. Rather than chasing scale for its own sake, he lays out a disciplined approach built on cultural alignment, economic fit, and client compatibility. Many conversations never become deals, and Hicks sees that restraint as a competitive advantage. Independence, he argues, is often the real rival, especially for firms that wait too long and lose momentum before acting. The discussion also looks at what happens after a merger closes. Hicks points to partner retention, post-merger growth, and radical transparency as proof that integration matters more than headlines. From open financial reporting to a predictable compensation system, trust is treated as a growth strategy, not a soft value. At the center is a talent-first philosophy that reframes success around attracting and keeping great lawyers rather than chasing clients. Looking ahead, Hicks sees continued consolidation in the middle market and growing demand for national firms that offer scale without elite-tier pricing, with little patience for firms unwilling to adapt.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Taft's Growth Story and Recent Middle Market Mergers 05:01 Building a National Middle-Market Law Firm Strategy 10:10 The Taft Merger Model: Culture, Fit, and Long-Term Success 19:59 Modernizing Law Firms Through Talent, Transparency, and Trust 29:54 Bob Hicks on Leadership, Risk, and the Future of the Legal Industry Connect with Bob Hicks: Bob's Company Web Profile   Connect with Howard Rosenberg: Connect with Howard on LinkedIn Howard's Company Web Profile   Connect with Chris Batz: Connect with Chris on LinkedIn  Follow Columbus Street on LinkedIn Columbus Street Website  MergerWatch Website Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

It's been just over a year since Northern Illinois University closed its outdoor education campus high above the Rock River in Oregon, Illinois. While its future is still in limbo, a group called Together for Taft is making progress in its effort to bring it back as an environmental education center. WNIJ's Under Rocks podcast team stopped by the group's fundraiser recently, which was held across the river from the shuttered campus.

Have you ever heard the saying, "We all have the same 24 hours in a day?" The problem is, we know that's not true. Beyoncé, for example, has a whole team of people to eliminate tasks and burdens from her life, leaving more time to focus on what she wants. IG programs need to “Beyoncé-ify” their workflows, i.e., develop procedures that reduce the burden of the incoming work to create bandwidth for other projects. AI has thrust Legal's ROT problem into the spotlight, but who has time to clear out old data when hundreds of requests come through daily? This session highlighted case studies and insights from firms that have implemented a proactive approach, including how they got leadership's go-ahead and what they learned.   Moderator: @Sarah Prause - Information Governance Senior Analyst, Latham & Watkins Speaker: @Crystal McFarland - Director of IG, Taft, Stettinius & Hollister LLP Recorded on 01-27-2026.

“The Quiet Texan Behind the Oval Office: Colonel Edward Mandell House” Welcome to Episode 82 of the Hidden History of Texas, Yes, I took the holidays off and feel refreshed and ready to go here in 2026. I hope each and all of you had a wonderful holiday season. Now it's time to get back into it.   If you pay attention to the world of political news, then you've probably heard the name Steven Miller. If you haven't, he's a primary advisor to President Trump. There are some who think that Mr. Miller is the most powerful person in Washington. That he wields more power and influence inside the administration than anyone else. He is what some call the power behind the throne, and they are surprised that someone like this exists. However, it's not rare at all, throughout history there have been men who were incredibly powerful but whom most people can't name. The question becomes, how on earth does a person rule a nation, a country without actually being the ruler? How does someone rule without ruling? It's important to understand that real power doesn't always sit at the top. Many times, the real power is held by a person that many people are unaware even exists. Real power operates quietly, seemingly in the shadows, through trust and access. One such person's name was  Edward Mandell House, and of course, he came from Texas.”  And at one point during World War I, he was one of the most influential men in Washington. He either shaped or helped shape American foreign policy. He was never elected to office. He held no cabinet position, and he most certainly did not have a public mandate to do what he did. Who was Edward Mandell House? He was born in Houston on July 26, 1858, to Mary Elizabeth (Shearn) and Thomas William House. He was the youngest of seven children. Thomas, his father, was one of the leading citizens of Texas. He was a wealthy merchant, a banker, and a landowner.  As did many wealthy children in that time period, Edward had a privileged youth. Growing up he met many prominent people who visited his family's large homes in Galveston and Houston. He also spent time enjoying life at his father's sugar plantation near Arcola Junction.  And like many Texas boys, he rode, hunted, and admired the gunfighters of the era.  He would often roam the flat, vast coastal plain near Houston. After his mother passed away on January 28, 1870, his father sent him away to boarding school. First a school in Virginia and then to one in New Haven, Connecticut. He was not a serious student, but he made several connections that would serve him well in life. It was also there that he became intrigued with politics. He and his closest friend, Oliver T. Morton (the son of Senator Oliver Perry Morton of Indiana), became fascinated by the Hayes-Tilden election of 1876 and the crisis that followed it. (If you think there are allegations of election fraud now, you should really look into how crooked elections have often been in our nation's past) The two young men traveled to New York and Washington studying the events that were taking place. This might have been one of those moments in time when seeds of a person's destiny are planted. This election and the intrigue that surrounded it and how political power is really wielded seems to have left a lasting impression on the young House. In the autumn of 1877 while attending Cornell University, his father became ill and he returned to Texas to attend to him. In 1880 after the death of his father, he decided to remain in Texas and help manage the estate. In 1881 he married Loulie Hunter of Hunter, Texas. The young couple honeymooned and spent a year in Europe after which they returned to Houston. A Return to Texas It was during this time that House began to supervise his family's extensive landholdings which were spread throughout Texas. He moved his family to Austin in the fall of 1885 for two reasons. First, he wanted to escape the heat and humidity of Houston, (I can attest to that, I left Houston for the same reason) and he wanted to be closer to his cotton plantations. During the period of the late 1880s and early 1890s, he rose to a position of prominence in Austin society and expanded his business activities to include farming and land speculation. With Austin being the state's capital and House having extensive business holdings throughout the state he was drawn into state politics due to his friendship with then Texas Governor Hogg. In 1892 the governor was facing a formidable challenge for renomination and then reelection due to opposition from conservative Democrats and Populists. House stepped in and took control of and directed Hogg's campaign. Using his business acumen, he established a network of contacts with influential local Democratic leaders, then managed to manipulate the electoral machinery, and finally bargained for the often-overlooked votes of African and Mexican Americans. His skills helped Hogg triumph in what was a bitter, three-way race. On July 20, 1893, Hogg rewarded House with the honorary title of "lieutenant colonel." The press soon shortened the title to "colonel." This campaign seemed to wet House's appetite; however, he was more fascinated with the process of politics than with the substance. He went on to build his own faction-"our crowd," he called it, which became a powerful force in Texas politics. He was an ambitious political operator, not politician, and he was skilled in organizing and inspiring others. He preferred to work mostly behind the scenes. By doing so, it helped him develop ties of loyalty and affection with his close associates. This also enabled him to use patronage (favors) to rally party workers behind his candidates. From 1894 to 1906 House's protégés served as governors of Texas. He and his associates managed the gubernatorial campaigns of Charles Allen Culberson, Joseph D. Sayers, and Samuel W. T. Lanham. He was particularly close to Culberson, and House directed the 1898 campaign that sent Culberson to the United States Senate. Over the years he served as a political counselor, often dispensing advice and controlling patronage for all three governors. “House learned early that true power doesn't need a podium, it simply needs proximity. It needs access” Life in Washington Remember how as a youth, House had become intrigued by the Hayes-Tilden election of 1876 and that intrigue instilled in him some grand dreams. Tiring of being involved with state politics, he began to crave a place on the national level. (One thing to remember is that in those days the Democrats were the conservatives, and the Republicans were the moderate and liberals.) House was a fiscal or financial conservative, and he was irritated and discouraged when in 1904, the democratic nominee Alton B. Parker was defeated by Theodore Roosevelt. In the 1908 presidential election, he was further discouraged when Republican candidate William Howard Taft defeated democratic party candidate William Jennings Bryan. Rather than stay, House travelled to Europe where he tried to find peace of mind and dabbled in spiritualism. After returning to the United States in time for the lead up to the 1912 Presidential election, House was living in New York. It was then that several of Woodrow Wilson's allies, including William McAdoo, who knew of House's political organization, met with him to gauge his support. House agreed to meet with Wilson and hosted him for a visit in late November 1911. The two men felt an immediate rapport, bonding over shared views and backgrounds, with House noting how pleasant Wilson was. As a result, a close friendship was formed that lasted for decades. House used his network to help Wilson win the democratic nomination for president in the 1912 election. His influence secured the forty votes of the Texas delegation and the approval of William Jennings Bryan for Wilson's candidacy. The election of 1912 was one of chaos and if you read most history books about that race you will see it described as a bitter contest between Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, Williams Howard Taft, and Eugene Debs. Roosevelt ran on what was called a "New Nationalism" platform that called for social insurance programs, reduction to an eight-hour workday, and robust federal regulation of the economy. Wilson's platform was labeled the  "New Freedom" platform, and it called for tariff reduction, banking reform, and new antitrust regulations. Incumbent President Taft ran an almost quiet campaign that emphasized his idea of "progressive conservatism". Eugene Debs was a proud socialist and he spent most of his time denouncing the other three by claiming that Wilson, Roosevelt and Taft were all financed by different factions within what were called the capitalist trusts. He also maintained that Roosevelt in particular was a demagogue who only used socialistic language because he wanted to insure that the capitalist establishment had control. Wilson won a close election, and this is when House as a person who is interested in real power, not flash, not headlines, but real power showed what he was capable of. He refused any official appointment but was responsible for the appointment of several Texans to cabinet positions. Thus, he was able to quickly and firmly establish himself as the president's trusted adviser and confidant. Since he had travelled extensively in Europe Wilson leaned heavily on House for advice on foreign affairs. House was establishing the fact that real power grows where trust replaces accountability. Wilson trusted House and that was all that mattered But what is that kind of power? What was the nature of House's power? House had what we refer to as Power Without Portfolio. He had no official department; he wasn't and didn't need to be confirmed by the Senate. One important difference between then and today, he was never under any public scrutiny. Of course,

In this episode, I sit down with Mike Kelly to talk about what it really takes to build and scale modern footwear brands like Taft and Journeys. Mike shares his 17-year journey in the footwear industry, from early days selling opportunity buys online to leading brands that now ship millions of pairs of shoes each year. We dive into how Taft has redefined men's footwear through bold design, craftsmanship, and confidence—and how Journeys has grown into a dominant women's brand built on comfort, value, and scale. We also explore global manufacturing decisions across China, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, the realities of supply chains, why specialization in footwear matters, and how operational excellence enables creative freedom. Along the way, Mike opens up about leadership, brand evolution, and why great products—and even great shoes—can have a deeper emotional impact than we often realize. This conversation is a deep look at building brands that stand out, operate efficiently, and continue to grow without losing what makes them special.

ITS PARADE TIME ON THE VEGAS STRIP AND THE CREW'S ALL THERE... OR ARE THEY?

New York's oldest law firm answered the outstanding question surrounding its ability to remain independent with a resounding no when it announced a merger with Hogan Lovells last week. As Bloomberg Law reporter Meghan Tribe tells it, Cadwalader Wickersham & Taft had been in a gradual decline since the 2008 global financial crisis. It also failed to adapt to the new reality of the legal industry in which lateral hiring is not just commonplace but necessary for a firm's survival, she said. On this episode of our podcast, On The Merits, Tribe gets into what transpired that forced the more than 200-year-old firm to put itself up for sale, and also what made Hogan leap at the chance to merge with Cadwalader. Additionally, Tribe talks about what the tie-up could mean for the pro bono deal Cadwalader struck with the Trump administration earlier this year.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (10/23/25): 3:05pm During a recent interview, Democratic House Whip Rep. Katherine Clark said of the government shutdown: "Of course there will be families that are going to suffer…but it is one of the few leverage times we have." 3:10pm- During a Thursday press conference, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy implored Democrats to join Republicans in passing a continuing resolution to reopen the government—warning that the shutdown could start to impact the performance of air traffic control. 3:15pm- Democrats and media members are apoplectic over the Trump administration's decision to construct a grand ballroom at the White House—expanding the residence's East Wing. President Trump has insisted construction will be privately funded, at no expense to the taxpayer. Despite left-wing outrage, Teddy Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama all oversaw major construction projects while serving as president. Speaker Mike Johnson noted during a press conference on Wednesday: This is proof Democrats will attack President Trump for anything and everything he does. 3:20pm- While appearing on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) was asked about potentially being primaried. He responded defiantly: “I'm not afraid of telling the truth. I'll be the Democrat that refuses to lie to the base…And now I refuse to call my fellow citizens fascists or Nazis.” Could Fetterman switch political parties? 3:40pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump held a roundtable—alongside Attorney General Pam Bondi, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem—to discuss his administration's crackdown on drug cartels. 3:50pm- William Howard Taft, the largest president in American history, famously required a specially installed oversized bathtub to accommodate his frame. Did the press complain about the construction project? Also, last month, Politico reported that Illinois Governor JB Pritzker was trying to lose weight ahead of the 2028 presidential election. Does anyone notice a difference in his size? 4:05pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump held a roundtable—alongside Attorney General Pam Bondi, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem—to discuss his administration's crackdown on drug cartels. 4:45pm- In a press conference on Thursday, FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest of more than 30 people—including Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier—for participating in illegal sports gambling and rigged poker games in coordination with the mafia. 5:05pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Trump administration's new sanctions on Russia, the durability of the peace agreement between Israel and Hamas, and the “Donroe Doctrine” (Trump's plan for the Western Hemisphere). Dr. Coates is author of the book: “The Battle for the Jewish State: How Israel—and America—Can Win.” 5:40pm- Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner recently chose to cover up a tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol. He also has a history of making racist, anti-police, anti-LGBTQ, and pro-communist posts on Reddit. However, mainstream Democrats continue to defend him! 6:05pm- During Wednesday night's New York City Mayoral debate, Curtis Sliwa hilariously noted that Zohran Mamdani's resume could fit on a cocktail napkin. In another memorable exchange, Andrew Cuomo predicted that if Mamdani wins, President Donald Trump will “knock him on his tuchas.” 6:30pm- In a press conference on Thu ...

Whether you were rockin' out to it in 2002 or watching Terry Crews sing every word to it a few years later, Vanessa Carlton's “A Thousand Miles” is a song that can stir up a lot of feelings and emotions for those who lived it. Even though the song's earnest delivery and theater-kid presentation SHOULD make it an artifact from the turn of the century, there's something special about it that keeps it relevant decades later. This week, we're joined by return guest Eric Taft to dive into the career and back catalog of Vanessa Carlton to decide if we should make our way downtown to pick up all her records or run a thousand miles away from her music.

You don't get to be the oldest law firm in New York without weathering some rough spots. But this may be one of the most difficult periods Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft has ever gone through.  The Wall Street firm, which this week announced a new managing co-partner, has lost nearly three dozen partners just this year. And not all of them have left because of the firm's controversial deal with President Trump for free legal services. On today's episode of our podcast, On The Merits, Bloomberg Law reporter Justin Henry explains why Cadwalader may be too specialized to thrive in today's full-service legal industry. He also talks about ways the firm can turn itself around without having to resort to a merger. Do you have feedback on this episode of On The Merits?

The September 24 edition of the AgNet News Hour featured one of the program's most eye-opening interviews yet. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill welcomed Lisa Kerr, founder of Terrain Technologies, who laid out a stark picture of California agriculture's future if current policies continue unchecked. Kerr, who has deep family roots in California's oil and gas industry, connected her own experiences in Taft to the struggles farmers now face. She explained how state and federal policies, backed by billions in grant funding, have deliberately targeted industries like oil, gas, timber, and now agriculture. “They strategically go after landowners who are asset heavy and relentlessly pursue them until they get every last dime,” she warned. Water was a central theme of the conversation. Kerr argued California's shortages are a manmade crisis, worsened by policy failures and financial interests. With water being traded as a commodity and environmental groups wielding outsized influence, she cautioned that rural communities could soon face the same fate as Taft — once a thriving oil town, now struggling after restrictive policies forced wells to close. Kerr also raised concerns about California's push for electric trucks and solar panels on farmland. “If you're not ready for the automation and you push $450,000 electric trucks on farmers, you squeeze them to death,” she said. The same, she argued, goes for proposals to convert fertile ground into solar farms. “Water is the answer, not solar panels.” Despite the sobering outlook, Kerr pointed to opportunities. She highlighted new federal and NIFA grants that support ag innovators, encouraging farmers with bold ideas to pursue funding. Her company, Terrain Technologies, is working to defend agriculture and bring tools from AI and national security into farm operations. For Papagni and McGill, Kerr's story was both a warning and a rallying cry. “If you don't think they can take farming away from you, just look at Taft,” McGill said. Both hosts agreed that farmers must stay united, engaged, and proactive in defending California agriculture.
