When it comes to creating an eco-friendly home, the most logical place to start is the bathroom. With the bathroom being such a highly trafficked area, you may not be surprised to discover the sheer amount of water and paper being wasted as well as lurking toxins. So how do you go about creating an eco-friendly bathroom that's safe for you and your family? Try some of the following tips!
Water conservation: Did you know that just by turning off your faucet while brushing your teeth you can save up to 240 gallons of water a month? When going green, conserving water is one of the easiest steps to take. Just shorten the amount of time you take a shower, fix toilet or faucet leaks, and replace your toilet and showerhead. And by installing a low-flow showerhead, you can reduce water consumption by up to 50 percent!
Green Products:You may want to look twice at your shower curtain. If you have a plastic shower curtain, it may be harming you and the environment. Most of these curtains are made of PVC/ polyvinyl chloride and through Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) can pollute your air. These hazardous compounds emit toxic elements posing a variety of health risks. Some green alternatives for shower curtains are ones that are made of organic cotton or linen.
And let's not forget toilet paper! Invest in recycled toilet paper! It's better for the environment, and you won't even know the difference.
Improve the air quality: The bathroom is probably the most humid room in your house. And with excess humidity, you can develop mold, which can spur allergies, asthma, and other breathing troubles. In order to reduce the amount of humidity, you will need to keep your bathroom well ventilated. It's as easy as just opening some windows, plugging in a fan, or you can install exhaust vents.
Another solution against airborne allergens is WarmlyYours Radiant Panels. Our LAVA® Radiant Panels are proven to reduce your heating expenses by an average of 12% annually, and reduce the amount of allergens and dust mites in your home! Not only will it help improve your air quality, but it will also be a comforting and luxuriously warm addition to your bathroom.
Switch to ceramic: Ceramic tiles have been a popular material for flooring for thousands of years and with good reason! With a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, the possibilities are endless. Ceramic tiles are not easily damaged by moisture and are extremely scratch resistant, and you can warm the tiles up with electric floor heating. Some ceramic tiling is made by a low impact manufacturing process using natural materials and consequently does not retain odors, bacteria, or allergens.
Dispose of toxic cleaners: If you are not using a green cleaning product, your bathroom could be full of harmful chemicals. When using toxic cleaners, you could be leaving behind hazardous residue that can be dangerous to your health. Commercial cleaning products are not only harmful to you but also to the environment. So when it's time to do a routine bathroom cleaning, it's not a bad idea to pick up some natural cleaning products. You can also use home products such as baking soda or vinegar!
While it's not always easy to be green, your improved health and the improved environment all around you are worthy rewards for your efforts!

Company Name: The Eye Shop Website: http://www.shoptometry.com
Hi, we are a boutique optometry practice, an optometry practice and a retail boutique in one. We like all things pretty, vintage, and want to stand out from the crowd. We are big on making the customers happy, down to the little details from the boutique gift bag, elegant business cards, birthday cards, to offering coffee/tea/candy etc. We want to cater to every culture, every age group. We want that down home feeling of comfort but with style and professionalism. Our eyeglass frames range from designer to low-budget, but we thrive on having styles that others don't, and we carry an eclectic mix of frames.
Our target audience tends to be people who like good ambiance, who like mom and pop shops, and mostly down-to-earth families. We do get a lot of 20s-30s that are looking for something a bit more unique. Our audience loves to feel a familiarity with their neighborhood optometrist and loves to feel special.
We are looking for a vintage owl with eyeglasses on. (Preferably Harry Potter circular type glasses). We'd like a stand alone owl first, to preferable mix in with the font of The Eye Shop Optometry name (as seen on the home page of our website), but we'd like to see what you can come up with in terms of an owl with our name included using a different font. Whatever you think stylistically would look good w/o looking cluttered. We want the name The Eye Shop Optometry to be professional and clean, but also stylish with a vintage look. Not too cartoon-y would be appreciated..even like a sketch of an owl from old storybooks would be nice. No need for color..just a dk brown or black color for the logo. We love the style of the store Anthropologie, and would like to bring that into our store. This owl would be used in our store on one main wall, as a window decal, our business cards, our website, etc., so needs to look good on all promotional materials. Thank you in advance for your hard work!

The religious higherarchy is all broken down into seven distinct titles. These are as follows.
For each new rank achieved, the priest receives a new title in certain circumstances. When they reach a certain level of knowledge and skill however, they will continue to hold the title of Pastor until raised to that of a Bishop by their superiors. The same is done with the title of Archbishop (Primate) Prelate, and the Pontiff. Only one Pontiff will be named at a time and only ten Prelates may be named at one time. There are only five Archbishops (Primates) holding title at any given time as well. Bishops have no set number of available slots.
Deacons are still young and fresh into their studies and are always still students. Priests have completed their initial studies of the church and are now allowed to hold service in small temples as well as assist Pastors in their clerical duties at larger churches. Pastors are usually a few years into their time spent with the church and have duties in charge over the larger churches in the larger cities. Bishops have been given the sole duties of teaching others in their time spent within the church. They also are known to teach in the academies various studies of expertise. They are also known as the law enforcement group of the church, dealing out justice relating to the church. The Primates are in charge of larger areas of the church and have broken them down into zones of influence; there are only five of these in office at one time. The Prelates are only ten in service in the main church in the central church. They are advisers to the Pontiff and the administrators to the church. They are the only group who elect the Pontiff. The Pontiff is the main religious leader in full charge of the church. They are elected for ten years and are rarely elected for another term. They have full voice in the church and create the laws that are followed.
Each religion is a seperate entity to itself. However they are ruled and therefore agreed to be governed by a single high priests, the High Pontiff. They rotate throughout the other religions between their Pontiffs to rule for a period of two years, this gives every religion the possibility to set decrees for the churches.
In which they have agreed to set standards, even though they do not see eye to eye on religious beliefs they do agree that should they result in a religious war and allow choas to ensue, much to the followers of Sethalis delight, that they gods may turn their backs. So in the interest of self preservation they agree to disagree yet to do so in an organized manner on the outside.
On the inside however, the churches dislike each other and will rarely show it publically. Privately however, many small battles between churches has happened right under the eyes of many kings and rulers without them knowing.

It Could Be Getting So Much Better All The Time #7: Demand The Auteurs!/
Mike Ryan, producer of the lowest budgeted film ever nominated for an Academy Award, producer & co-conspirator of both Todd Solondz's and Bela Tarr's latest opi, frequent contributor to Hammer To Nail, and all around opinionated mofo and raconteur (bless his bbq & bourbon lovin' soul) had this to rant:
So my 'solution' would be more connected to maintaining/creating an appreciation for the true cinema experience. I would like to see that arts funding (Redford mentioned that he hopes that Obama may be arts friendly) be earmarked for cinema programs in local museums/libraries. This means projecting actual film prints of both classic art house films and contemporary work by true cinema auteurs, in the style of the rep theaters of old.
I do believe that trends move in a dialectic counter swing pattern: the current generation of 18-25 year olds are buying more vinyl than ever before, this is the first generation in which parents did not own a record player and so the kids have become curious and have discovered the joys of uncompressed music. Yes indeed an acoustic guitar sounds very different on a record than compressed on an MP3 and consequently small record stores across the country are hauling the old crates out of the basement as cd inventory decreases. Likewise, Starbucks announced massive layoffs yesterday, stores all over the city are closing and yet MUD COFFEE and other indie coffee store fronts are doing great business. Untill Starbucks came to NYC it was hard to find a decent strong cup of coffee, Starbucks raised the bar on coffee literacy and that allowed other places like MUD, who serve way better coffee than Starbucks, to prosper. Likewise Tower records on Broadway closed and the tiny specialty store OTHER MUSIC is still open.
So I am hopeful that in the future age of VOD DOD on your IPOD the demand for true cinema will return. In my dreams Bela Tarr will be recognized as the living God that he is and demand for his films to screen will increase because it CANNOT be seen on a computer or hand device. But , I still think we need a little help from big bro to keep cinema alive while we weather this transition period so my 'solution' would be in directing government art money toward local cinema museum/library screening clubs.

Technology developed at The University of Nottingham has been used in a breakthrough study aimed at developing the first comprehensive model of a fully functioning fetal heart.
The abdominal fetal ECG device, designed originally by academics in the University's Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and on commercial sale throughout the world since 2008 through the University spin-out company Monica Healthcare Ltd, has been used to observe living fetal hearts of babies in their mothers' wombs.
The collaborative study led by experts at The University of Leeds has discovered that the walls of the human heart are a disorganised jumble of tissue until relatively late in pregnancy — with development much slower compared to other mammals.
Professor Barrie Hayes-Gill, Professor of Electronic Systems and Medical Devices at The University of Nottingham and joint founder and research director at Monica Healthcare said: "It's absolutely fantastic to see our device being used to detect fetal ECG morphology (i.e. ECG shape) in a non-invasive manner from the surface of the maternal abdomen. In this study the Monica device has been specifically deployed to observe the development of the fetal heart as it goes through gestation.
"It's an important development and we are delighted to see Nottingham technology playing such an integral part of the study. We expect that non-invasive morphological analysis during pregnancy and labour will become routine clinical practice in years to come as Monica continues to gain traction in the marketplace."
The fetal heart monitor is a portable, non-invasive device which attaches to the mother's abdomen and measures the electrical activity from the heart of the baby inside her womb. It is currently being used worldwide to monitor fetal heart rates during labour and delivery.
The device uses complex algorithms to correctly identify signals related to the fetal heart rate (FHR) using sensitive ECG-style electrodes. This method of using electrophysiological signals differs from current external monitoring devices that collect FHR and uterine activity data based on physical changes (e.g. change in reflected sound waves and changes on strain gauge) that may cause problems in data interpretation.
The monitor is simple to use, beltless, requires no wires to connect to the display or printer. There is also no need for the constant re-positioning of transducers, which is required with older technology and the mother is free to walk around if necessary.
As part of their study, which has been published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface Focus, the team from the University of Leeds used the device to administer a weekly fetal ECG recording from 18 weeks until just before delivery.
The data from this, alongside two different MRI scans from the hearts of dead fetuses, was incorporated into a 3D computerised model built up using information about the structure, shape and size of the different components of the heart.
Early results suggest that the human heart may develop on a different timeline from other mammals. While the tissue in the walls of a pig heart develops a highly organised structure at a relatively early stage of a fetus' development, their work suggests there is little organisation in the human heart's cells until 20 weeks into pregnancy. Despite this, the human heart has a regular heartbeat from about 22 days.
Developing an accurate, computerised simulation of the fetal heart is critical to understanding normal heart developments in the womb and, eventually, to opening new ways of detecting and dealing with some functional abnormalities early in pregnancy.
Dr Eleftheria Pervolaraki, lead researcher on the project at the University of Leeds' School of Biomedical Sciences, said: "For a heart to be beating effectively, we thought you needed a smoothly changing orientation of the muscle cells through the walls of the heart chambers. Such an organisation is seen in the hearts of all healthy adult mammals.
"Fetal hearts in other mammals such as pigs, which we have been using as models, show such an organisation even early in gestation, with a smooth change in cell orientation going through the heart wall. But what we actually found is that such organisation was not detectable in the human fetus before 20 weeks," she said.
Professor Arun Holden, from The University of Leeds' School of Biomedical Sciences, said: "The development of the fetal human heart is on a totally different timeline, a slower timeline, from the model that was being used before. This upsets our assumptions and raises new questions. Since the wall of the heart is structurally disorganised, we might expect to find arrhythmias, which are a bad sign in an adult. It may well be that in the early stages of development of the heart arrhythmias are not necessarily pathological and that there is no need to panic if we find them. Alternatively, we could find that the disorganisation in the tissue does not actually lead to arrhythmia."
A detailed computer model of the activity and architecture of the developing heart will help make sense of the limited information doctors can obtain about the fetus using non-invasive monitoring of a pregnant woman.
Professor Holden said: "It is different from dealing with an adult, where you can look at the geometry of an individual's heart using MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) or CT (Computerised Tomography) scans. You can't squirt x-rays at a fetus and we also currently tend to avoid MRI, so we need a model into which we can put the information we do have access to."
He added: "Effectively, at the moment, fetal ECGs are not really used. The textbooks descriptions of the development of the human heart are still founded on animal models and 19th century collections of abnormalities in museums. If you are trying to detect abnormal activity in fetal hearts, you are only talking about third trimester and postnatal care of premature babies. By looking at how the human heart actually develops in real life and creating a quantitative, descriptive model of its architecture and activity from the start of a pregnancy to birth, you are expanding electrocardiology into the fetus."

A dialog is often a small window that pops up infront of the current activity that is running, When the dialog is called the activity that is under the dialog loses focus and the dialog allows the user to interact with it. The point of the dialogs is to interupt the user and do a small tasks related to the application that is in progress.
But what is the AlertDialog?
An AlertDialog i find very usefull because it can be used for so many things, It can hold from 0 - 3 buttons and you can design it as a list with selectable items, It can also use Check boxes and Radio buttons so its not only the normal buttons and this means we can use it for alot of things.
With the AlertDialog you can make realy cool things if you think out of the box, Some small things is like when the user want to exit the application you could create a AlertDialog saying "Do you really want to exit?" and if could be two buttons like "Yes" and "No".
When should i choose to use this dialog?
Anytime your dialog needs something of the following:
Text message
1-3 buttons
List with selectable items(CheckBoxes, RadioButtons can be used here but its not required)
How do we code an AlertDialog?
First we can start with making a dialog with the buttons next to eachother, Lets say an AlertDialog that asks if we want to quit the application or not.
First we make a AlertDialog builder that we will use to build our AlerDialog:
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
Then we can use this builder to set up our AlertDialog however we want it:
builder.setMessage("Do you really want to quit?") .setCancelable(false) .setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.onclickListener() { public void onclick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) { MyActivity.this.finish(); } }) .setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.onclickListener() { public void onclick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) { dialog.cancel(); } });
A small notice to this part where we set up the Dialog, We don't add a ";" before the end because we want to create all the settings in one command (One big command) but its good to do it this way.
In this code above we first set a message for the Dialog that will be displayed, Then we make sure the user can cancel this message.
We create a positive button that has the text "Yes" and inside the onclick method we write the code that we want to happend when this button was pressed and in this case we tell the activity that is running in the background to stop / close.
And then we do the same with negative button but instead of quiting the activity we just close the dialog.
Then simply to show this dialog we put this peace of code:
AlertDialog alert = builder.create(); //The above line didn't show the dialog i added this line: alert.show();
When this line of code above gets called the dialog we created with the builder will get called and shown on the screen, It would look something like this:
Now lets make a list instead!
To make a list with items instead we use a method called setItems()
final CharSequence[] items = {"1", "2", "3"}; AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); builder.setTitle("Pick a number"); builder.setItems(items, new DialogInterface.onclickListener() { public void onclick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), items[item], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } }); AlertDialog alert = builder.create(); //The above line didn't show the dialog i added this line: alert.show();
As you can see here we first make a CharSequence array which holds 3 different values, In this example they just hold 1, 2 and 3.
In this example we also use something we didn't se before, builder.setTitle("Title"); You can use this setTitle if you have the buttons we used in the previous example too if you want.
But then we do something else that is new.. setItems as i mentioned above. In the first parameter we put our CharSquence array which is our items and with this we create an DialogInterface.onclickListener which we also used before to get the onclick method. Inside the onclick we make a Toast Notification, This Toast uses the item integer which is inside the onclick methods parameters and this gets a number from 0-2 if im correct and the 0 represents the "1" in our array and 1 represents "2" in our array and 2 represents "3".. And then with the Toast print out the CharSequence of the item we pressed.
If i would press the button 1 in the list the toast would print out 1 and if i pressed 2 it will print 2 and same with 3.
Here is a picture how this Dialog should look like:
And when i pressed numer 2 of the buttons it should look like this:
How do i do if i want Radio Buttons or Check Boxes?
You would have to use the two methods: setMultiChoiceItems() for CheckBoxes (Which i wont explain today) and setSingleChoiceItems() for RadioButtons.
I will show you how both looks, First if we would make the RadioButtons all we would have to change is this line of code in the one we had for our previous list:
builder.setSingleChoiceItems(items, -1, new DialogInterface.onclickListener() {
Notice that we do not only change it to setSingleChoiseItems we also add a -1 after items.. And this is just to tell the Dialog that we want no RadioButton checked when the Dialog is brought up.
Here is whole code if you want to use RadioButtons:
final CharSequence[] items = {"Red", "Green", "Blue"}; AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); builder.setTitle("Pick a color"); builder.setSingleChoiceItems(items, -1, new DialogInterface.onclickListener() { public void onclick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), items[item], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } }); AlertDialog alert = builder.create(); //And if the line above didn't bring ur dialog up use this bellow also: alert.show();
Here is a picture how it would look like:
Thanks very much for reading!

FORT BENNING, Ga. -- Soldiers, veterans and members of the Columbus-area community came together Jan. 21 to honor wounded veteran Sgt. 1st Class Michael Schlitz during a groundbreaking ceremony for his new home in Fortson, Ga.
Schlitz was wounded in Baghdad in 2007 when the vehicle he and his team were driving was destroyed by an IED.
Schlitz was thrown from the truck and his entire body was set on fire. As a result, the explosion that killed three other Soldiers also caused Schlitz to sustain burns over 85 percent of his body, lose both hands and his eyesight in his left eye.
With Schlitz's unique needs, he requires a unique home. That's where the Building for America's Bravest program came in.
The program, a joint effort of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation and the Gary Sinise Foundation, is intended to provide wounded and disabled veterans with homes that can help bring a sense of normalcy back into their lives.
That is accomplished by incorporating technology into the house, allowing Schlitz and other veterans to have increased control over their "smart homes."
"Mike's space will have most of his living quarters on the first floor to make it easily accessible," said Terrence Tierney, the managing director of Building for America's Bravest. "It'll have wide hallways, wide doors. The whole house will be automated to be controlled by an iPad. The lighting, the doorways, accessible cabinets in the kitchen, anything that helps him get around, he'll be able to do that by his iPad. His entertainment system, his music, all the works. It's a high-tech house… It's got a lot of smart technology in it. It's got a lot of accessibility features that you don't see in normal homes."
Schlitz said the home is going to be a life-changer for him.
"What this house is going to do is provide me a new level of independence to be able to do the things I can't necessarily do right this moment," Schlitz said. "Once I get into this house, it is immediately going to change my life. For me, it's great because I'm going to have that overnight change.
In addition to providing for Schlitz's needs, the home will also provide his mother, Robbie, with an increased sense of freedom.
Robbie Schlitz is her son's full-time caretaker, but the new home will incorporate her own separate living area, providing both mother and son with a feeling of independence.
"She really has witnessed me going through a whole new change," Michael Schlitz said. "This is going to propel that even more. She's going to be able to take some time for herself and not worry about whether she has to come turn on the water for me or come take care of something. It's going to allow me to be able to do that, and hopefully free up some time for her to take on her own projects and her hobbies again and elevate her quality of life, just as this house is going to do for me."
As part of the program, Schlitz was able to choose anywhere in the country for the location of his new home, and he selected the Columbus area.
"I don't think a lot of people know everything that Columbus has to offer," Schlitz said. "It's a great community. They've done a great job of cleaning it up, and it's close to Fort Benning, so it has a great veteran community. There's a lot of great businesses here, so it's just a great opportunity for me."
The home, like all homes built by Building for America's Bravest, is dependent on public support to fund the construction.
"One hundred percent of the program is funded through the generosity of the American public," Tierney said. "We can't do this without them. The project is community-based, so we're looking for the communities of Columbus, Fortson and Harris County and the surrounding area here to help support us with labor and materials, and then we'll do some fundraising as well."
The program plans to complete 60 smart homes for disabled veterans by the 15th anniversary of Sept. 11.
As that effort moves forward, Schlitz plans to be a part of it.
"What it really comes down to is how blessed I feel, and hopefully in the future, I can keep pushing out support for the other guys who need it," Schlitz said. "I want to get out there and continue speaking and raising awareness, and help get as many guys into homes as I can."

After kicking my own ass in Hip Hop class, my booty-fied student Marla and I went to Green Papaya for some lunch!
Marla went for the sushi lunch box - $9.95 for a lunch box o'goodness!
The salad had the wonderful peanut dressing, the sushi was so fresh and the pad thai was plentiful! I was definitely jealous! I do wish the sushi roll choices were a little different than just a tuna or california roll...
I chose the Thai Spicy Pasta - I think that's the name of it - it's near the top on the back of the lunch menu. Linguine, shrimp, chicken and veggies - it was really good! $6.95
The portion size was fairly small - if I had it again - I'd also get a sushi roll - which then brings the price up quite a bit...I was really hungry though - hadn't had any breakfast.
Overall - really enjoyed it as always. Here's where we stand so far in the Thai showdown:

In the aftermath of the Victorian bushfires of 7 February 2009 – the worst in the nation's recorded history – hundreds of people shared their stories and experiences of the fires online. Residents of fire-affected communities, volunteer fire fighters, journalists, politicians, tourists and experts posted their photos, videos and opinions on blogs, websites and social media spaces. This website offers a collection of the most compelling and significant stories and places them alongside information and official records about key events.
The result is a comprehensive overview of what happened on the day and in the aftermath of the fires. It provides a central space to explore the event from all angles. It gives us a way to make sense of what happened and to understand what it was like to experience a firestorm the size of Black Saturday.

Obama takes on coal with first-ever carbon limits
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is pressing ahead with tough requirements to limit carbon pollution from new coal-fired power plants, moving to impose for the first time strict limits on the pollution blamed for global warming.
The proposal would help reshape where Americans get electricity, moving away from coal and toward cleaner sources of energy. It's a key step in President Barack Obama's plans to address climate change because it would help end what he called "the limitless dumping of carbon pollution" from power plants.
The proposed rule eventually would force the government to limit emissions from existing power plants, which account for a third of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Obama has given the Environmental Protection Agency until next summer to propose those regulations.
EPA administrator Gina McCarthy said in a speech Friday to announce the proposal that, rather than damage industry, the proposed regulations would help the industry to grow.
McCarthy pressed her case by linking global warming to a host of environmental problems, from severe weather to disease to worsening other types of air pollution.
"We know this is not just about melting glaciers," McCarthy said. "Climate change - caused by carbon pollution - is one of the most significant public health threats of our time. That's why EPA has been called to action."
To meet the new standard, new coal-fired power plants would need to install expensive technology to capture carbon dioxide and bury it underground. No coal-fired power plant has done that yet, in large part because of the cost.
Coal, which is already struggling to compete with cheap natural gas, accounts for 40 percent of U.S. electricity, a share that was already shrinking. And natural gas would need no additional pollution controls to comply.
The EPA already has issued rules aimed at curbing global warming pollution from automobiles and the largest industrial sources.

Chelsea in U-turn on Frank Lampard after starting talks on contract extension
February 8, 2013
Frank Lampard: Positive talks with Chelsea over new contract
Chelsea look to have made a U-turn on Frank Lampard with talks understood to have begun on extending his contract.
The 34-year-old's deal at Stamford Bridge expires in the summer and there have been few signs the club's hierarchy were willing to keep hold of the midfielder.
When asked about the situation, Chelsea's head of communications Steve Atkins told Sky Sports News: "CFC do not comment on speculation about players or their contracts."
When asked about the situation, Chelsea's head of communications Steve Atkins told Sky Sports News: "CFC do not comment on speculation about players or their contracts."
But on Thursday afternoon, a day after Lampard scored England's winner in the 2-1 win over Brazil at Wembley, it appears there have been positive talks about a new deal between the player and the club's representatives.
The former West Ham player has surprised everybody in recent weeks with a series of impressive performances coming on the back of a worrying calf injury at the end of last year.
He came off the bench to curl in a fabulous winner for England on Wednesday on his 94th appearance for his country and despite his limited first-team action under interim boss Rafa Benitez, he has scored eight goals in his last 13 Chelsea appearances.
While the latest news will be welcome news to most Chelsea fans, his performances on the pitch continue to impress his boss.
Benitez told Chelsea TV: "He's scoring goals for us already and I think he's doing well. Ninety-four caps is a fantastic achievement. If he can get 100 it will be really positive and it will mean he will be fit, he will be playing and he will be doing well."
Discussing the added motivation of reaching 100 caps and wanting to resolve his club future after the England match, Lampard told Sports journalists: "If I don't get to 100 caps, I have given everything in every game I have played.
"Wherever I go, whatever happens in my career - and I don't honestly know - if I can play at a great level of football and play at my best I will just see what happens.
"When you get older, you realize even more what it is to play for your country; that it won't go on for ever.
"Every time I am in and around the squad, I will give my all, whether it is starting or on the bench. I have got a lot of respect for the manager and I think he respects that I want to help in any way that I can."
Lampard's ambition to become Chelsea's all time leading scorer could influence his decision on signing a one-year contract.
The midfielder, who has scored 15 times in 33 appearances for club and country this season, is six goals from breaking Bobby Tambling's record of 202 goals during the 1960s.
Whether he stays at Stamford Bridge or not, Lampard is aiming to give himself the best opportunity to be part of the England squad for next year's World Cup in Brazil.
"Maybe the World Cup is within reach but I'm certainly not getting carried away," he said.
"I know how football is and from squad to squad it can change, and when you get to the age of 34, 35 this summer, people do look upon things differently and fair enough.
"I'm very understanding of where I'm at in my career.
"But if I can continue playing for Chelsea and continue contributing here, whether it's starting or as a valuable squad member, and when I do my bit, then the World Cup is getting a bit nearer.
"It's certainly a target for me and, yes, I will try to keep playing at a good enough level to get there. It's a target.
"I won't retire from England before that, put it that way."

Vote for your favourite wedding of the year
Several home grown stars jetted abroad for their big day. Amongst them were Martine McCutcheon, who wed her singer love Jack McManus in Lake Como, where George Clooney has a luxury villa. And Richard Branson's daughter Holly celebrated her nuptials to Freddie in Necker Island. Not even the devastating fire that gutted the island could halt the proceedings and the Branson clan came together in the ruins of their partially rebuilt family home to celebrate Holly's special moment.
Royal fans weren't dissapointed on the wedding front either. Prince and Princesses from all over Europe gathered in the tiny landlocked state of Luxembourg to witness the union of Prince Guillaume and Stephanie de Lannoy.

Temple survived a second-half run by the Crimson to hold on for a 64-59 WNIT win (Brian Ballweg).
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The Harvard women's basketball team turned an 11-point second-half deficit into a four-point lead, but could not hold on down the stretch as Temple outscored the Crimson 6-3 in the final 1:17 to earn a 64-59 win Saturday in the second round of the WNIT.
Brogan Berry scored a team-high 21 points with three assists and two steals. The senior shot 7-fo-14 from the field, 3-of-5 from three and went 4-of-5 from the line. Emma Golen added 12 points and seven boards, while Christine Clark and Victoria Lippert chipped in nine points apiece. Miriam Rutzen led the charge on the glass with nine rebounds and four assists.
Temple (23-9) was led by Shey Peddy, who scored 24 points on 7-of-14 shooting and hit four three-pointers. Victoria Macaulay scored 10 points with Brittany Lewis grabbing a game-high 13 rebounds. The Owls owned a 45-33 advantage over Harvard (18-12) on the glass and held an 18-9 edge in second-chance points. After shooting 53.3 percent in the first half, Temple was limited to just 21.2 percent from the floor and 0-of-9 from three.
It was a back-and-forth game early with Temple taking a 6-2 lead before four straight points by Brogan Berry evened the score. Harvard cut a six-point deficit to one with a Berry three-pointer and Emma Golen layup, 16-15, and trailed by four following a Missy Mullins layin, 21-17. Temple scored the next six points, however, opening a double-digit lead, 27-17.
The Owls' lead reached as many as 11 points, 30-19, off a Rateska Brown three-pointer, but the Crimson cut into its deficit with quality opportunities in transition. Lippert hit a three as Christine Clark found her open on a fast break, and Clark got to the line for a pair of free throws off a drive to bring the score to 30-24. An and-one by Berry made it a five-point game once again, 32-27, with 3:14 remaining in the frame.
Shey Peddy kept the pressure on the Crimson, drilling a three-pointer with a defender in her face for a 37-29 edge. Victoria Macaulay added a basket in the paint to help Temple to a 10-point halftime lead, 39-29. Berry led Harvard with 12 first half points as the Crimson combined to shoot just 36.7 percent from the floor. Temple, meanwhile, shot 53.3 percent with Peddy recording 18 points on 7-of-8 shooting and a perfect 4-of-4 performance from three.
Harvard came out of the break quickly and cut the lead to 39-36 with a 7-0 run. Clark opened the run with a wild shot as the 30-second clock wound down, and then found Miriam Rutzen in transition for an open layup. Golen made it seven unanswered points for the Crimson with a three from the left corner. After Temple extended its margin back out to 43-27, Rutzen collected a pair of offensive rebounds and assisted on baskets by Berry and Golen to pull Harvard within two, 43-31.
Clark made it a one-point game, 47-46, with a three on a secondary break and Harvard took its first lead, 49-48, off a Golen three-pointer after Elle Hagedorn extended the possession with an offensive board. Rateska Brown put Temple back on top, 50-49, but jumpers by Missy Mullins and Golen gave the Crimson a 53-50 edge. Berry's three with 5:12 remaining made it a 56-52 game in Harvard's favor, before four straight points by the Owls tied it back up at 56-56. A B.J. Williams layup regained the lead for Temple, 58-56, and the Owls outscored Harvard 6-3 in the final 1:17 to hang on for the 64-59 win.
Game Notes: Harvard's 18 wins this season marks the fifth straight year the Crimson has won at least 18 games … Harvard's 9-7 record on the road marks the team's first winning road record since 2008-09 … Harvard's 30 games played this season are a program high … Senior Brogan Berry will graduate ranked sixth in Harvard history and 26th all-time in the Ivy League with 1,458 points, while her 525 assists are second most in the Harvard record book and fourth in the Ancient Eight.

WASHINGTON -- Former Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) will not run in the Massachusetts special election to replace John Kerry, multiple outlets reported Friday. The Senate confirmed Kerry as secretary of state Wednesday.
The conservative-leaning Boston Herald was the first to be told that Scott wasn't running. "U are the first to know," he sent in a text message.
Brown released a statement Friday outlining his reasons. "Over these past few weeks I have given serious thought about the possibility of running again, as events have created another vacancy requiring another special election," he said. "I have received a lot of encouragement from friends and supporters to become a candidate, and my competitive instincts were leading in the same direction.
"Even so, I was not at all certain that a third Senate campaign in less than four years, and the prospect of returning to a Congress even more partisan than the one I left, was really the best way for me to continue in public service at this time. And I know it's not the only way for me to advance the ideals and causes that matter most to me."
After he lost to Elizabeth Warren in 2012, many expected that Brown would run for the seat vacated by Kerry. Republicans made an all-out push to get him to run, because he easily would have been the strongest candidate against a Democrat. However, Brown would have had to run for reelection again in 2014 for a full term, meaning that he would have had four elections in four years.
The speculation for Brown goes to the 2014 gubernatorial race, which he did not rule out in the statement. Massachusetts voters have been more receptive to elect Republicans to state office than federal office, and Gov. Deval Patrick (D) has said that he will retire at the end of his term.
Brown also drew attention the week prior to his announcement when he unleashed a flurry of incoherent text messages early Saturday morning, aimed at his Twitter critics. "Your brilliant Matt," "Whatever," "Bqhatevwr," he tweeted.
Brown's exit leaves the Republican bench for Senate wide open. Former Gov. Bill Weld (R) moved back to the state from New York, but the once-popular governor suffered a seven-point defeat to Kerry, then a senator, in 1996. Former Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey (R) hasn't ruled out a run, but she served with former Gov. Mitt Romney (R), who is tremendously unpopular in the state.
On the Democratic side, Reps. Stephen Lynch and Ed Markey are battling for the nomination. Markey has the backing of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and top Democrats in the state including Kerry, former Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) and Victoria Kennedy, widow of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy. Lynch is banking on support from organized labor to propel him to victory, despite being against abortion rights and voting against President Barack Obama's health care law.
Lynch, who had been hitting Brown Thursday in his campaign rollout, released a conciliatory statement Friday after news that Brown would not be running. "I understand Scott Brown's decision. He has basically been campaigning non-stop for three years. It's perfectly understandable that he wouldn't want to undertake another campaign. I wish all the best to Scott and his family," he said.
The primary is April 30 and the general election is June 25.

Hamish Bond and Eric Murray have taken the top prize at the Halberg Awards at Auckland's Vector Arena last night.
The outstanding men's rowing pair, who finished boat lengths ahead of their closest rivals at the London Olympic Games, were named Team of the Year before claiming the Halberg Award honours.
To win the supreme award, Bond and Murray headed off the evening's other Halberg Award winners - fellow rower and New Zealand Sportsman of the Year winner Mahe Drysdale, Sportswoman of the Year winner Valerie Adams and Disabled Sportsperson of the Year winner Sophie Pascoe.
Adams, who won Olympic shot put gold after her main rival Nadzeya Ostupchuk was disqualified for testing positive to a banned substance, edged fellow Sportswoman of the Year contenders Lisa Carrington, who won Olympic gold in the kayak, and Lydia Ko, the 15-year-old golfer who has had an incredible past 18 months.
Both Carrington, who triumphed in the 200m K1 event, and Ko had excellent claims on the title.
Ko, the youngest winner in professional golf history when she won the NSW Open title, carried on her achievements today (Thurs) when breaking the course record to take an early first-round lead at the Australian Open at Royal Canberra. Last week she became the first Kiwi to win the New Zealand Women's Open, although her recent achievements fell outside the judging period.
Ko picked up the Emerging Talent award at the awards, which are sponsored by Westpac.
The Halberg Award was presented to Bond and Murray by golfing great Sir Bob Charles, the first athlete to win the trophy in 1963.
It was a big night for rowing, with coach Dick Tonks also claiming victory in the Coach of the Year category.
Drysdale, who won Olympic gold in the men's single sculls in London, beat All Blacks captain Richie McCaw, world No1-ranked equestrian Andrew Nicolson and cyclist Simon van Velthooven to the Sportsman of the Year award.
Pascoe took the honours for securing three gold medals and three Silvers at the Paralympic Games in London last year.
Rowing pair Joseph Sullivan and Nathan Cohen won the award for New Zealand's favourite sporting moment with their heart-stopping race at Eton Dorney when they mowed down the competition to come from behind and claim New Zealand's first gold medal of the Olympics in the double sculls.
Yachting champion Bruce Kendall and former New Zealand rugby and cricket representative Jeff Wilson were inducted into the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame. They were presented with their awards by Sir John Walker and Sports Hall of Fame governor Bryan Williams.
Patron and life member of Athletics New Zealand, Arthur Eustace, was presented with the Lion Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award. As an athlete, Eustace won his first New Zealand championship title in 1945 when he was 19 and went on to win seven more New Zealand titles in sprints and hurdles.
Sir John Wells received the Sport New Zealand Leadership Award for his services to sport. Sir John's achievements include paving the way for the Triathlon World Championship Grand Final in Auckland last year, the Auckland stopover of the 2012 Volvo Ocean Race, and the 2007 Netball World Championships in Christchurch.
Voting for the 50th Westpac Halberg Awards was carried out by an academy of 30 sporting journalists, coaches and former sporting greats.

Rihanna to Produce and Star in New Style Network Competition Show
(NEW YORK) -- Earlier this year, Rihanna starred in a fashion reality competition show in the U.K. called Styled to Rock. It wasn't a big ratings success, but now Rihanna is developing a U.S. version of the show that will air on the Style Network in 2013.
Rihanna will executive produce and star in the 10-episode show, which will start with a nationwide search for cutting-edge designers. Starting now, you can apply to appear on the show at StyleNetwork.com/StyledtoRock. Out of the pool of applicants, the singer will personally select 12 designers to compete for the chance to dress "some of the biggest names in entertainment," according to the network.
Rihanna and the show's mentors, who will be experts from the fashion industry, will work with the contestants as they navigate a series of challenges, with the ones who fall short getting the boot. One designer will be named the ultimate champion, though it's not clear exactly what they'll win.
In a statement, Rih says, "Fashion has always played an integral part in my life and career. I am so excited to partner with Style Network and share my creative insight with these 12 designers and give them this opportunity to showcase their work."

Tradition, seclusion and recreation: a brief tour of the 26-year-old, 607-island-strong Federated States of Micronesia
Author DANIEL WROCLAWSKI
IT'S THE SIZE OF ARGENTINA, but its land area barely matches that of Memphis, Tenn. Its waters are littered with sunken battleships from three generations ago, yet it's still younger than Keira Knightley. What is it? The Federated States of Micronesia, a remote, unspoiled archipelago located between Hawaii and Indonesia that attained independence in 1986.
Of the nation's 600-odd islands, the biggest is Pohnpei, which offers world-class climbing, hiking and diving amid lush rain forests and breathtaking lagoons. Pohnpei is also home to the ancient city of Nan Madol, whose network of canals earned it the moniker "Venice of the Pacific."
Then there's Chuuk, where you'll find one of the world's great dive sites: the Ghost Fleet of Truk Lagoon, a World War II Japanese naval base turned ship graveyard turned coral reef. In addition, remnants of Japanese military facilities, from lighthouses to tunnel systems, are scattered all over the island, making Chuuk in particular—and the nation in general—that rare place that appeals to beach bum and history buff alike.

No. 87,644
1. K.S.A. 40-3104(f) requires a self-insured rental car company to provide mandatory minimum liability insurance coverage only when the permissive rental driver does not have: (1) a motor vehicle liability insurance policy, or (2) insurance coverage pursuant to a motor vehicle liability insurance policy.
2. An insurance company that limits its coverage for vehicles the insured does not own or lease has a duty to clearly and explicitly define when a rental vehicle is not to be considered a leased vehicle.
3. K.S.A. 40-3104(f) presents only two possibilities: (1) The rental driver has no personal liability coverage and the self-insurer must provide minimum liability coverage, or (2) the rental driver has personal liability coverage and the self-insurer has no obligation to provide coverage. An excess coverage provision in an insured rental driver's motor vehicle liability insurance policy, which makes the coverage excess over any other liability insurance, does not create an instance where the rental driver does not have insurance coverage and, therefore, the contingency in K.S.A. 40-3104(f) making the self-insurer liable has not been met.
Appeal from Douglas District Court; PAULA B. MARTIN, judge. Opinion filed November 27, 2002. Reversed.
Steve R. Fabert, of Fisher, Patterson, Sayler & Smith, L.L.P., of Topeka, for appellant.
Todd N. Thompson and Shon D. Qualseth, of Thompson & Associates, P.A., of Lawrence, for appellee.
Before JOHNSON, P.J., PIERRON, J., and BUCHELE, S.J.
JOHNSON, J.: Enterprise Leasing Company of Kansas appeals the judgment entered in favor of Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance, Inc., which required Enterprise to reimburse Farm Bureau for the cost of defending and settling a claim against a Farm Bureau policyholder who was operating a vehicle rented from Enterprise. We disagree with the district court's interpretation and application of K.S.A. 40-3104(f) to the facts of this case and reverse.
The undisputed facts are straightforward and uncomplicated. Max Miller rented a pickup truck from Enterprise, listing his wife, Karen, as an additional driver. Max did not purchase insurance through Enterprise; Enterprise held a certificate of self-insurance; the Millers had an automobile liability insurance policy through Farm Bureau. Karen had an accident while operating the rented pickup truck and was sued for the property damage inflicted on the other vehicle.
Farm Bureau defended the lawsuit, advanced funds to satisfy the judgment rendered against Karen, and took an assignment of Karen's rights against Enterprise. Farm Bureau then filed a declaratory judgment action claiming that Enterprise was a self-insurer with a statutory duty to defend and settle the claim and pay the money judgment against Karen. Enterprise's answer denied that it had any obligation to provide either liability insurance or self-insurance coverage while its vehicles were being operated under a contract of hire, except when the permissive user had no personal liability insurance. The matter then came before the district court upon Enterprise's motion to dismiss, or in the alternative, for summary judgment. After its motions were denied, Enterprise moved for reconsideration and for additional findings of fact.
The district court found that K.S.A. 40-3104(f) required Enterprise to provide mandatory minimum liability coverage when the rental driver did not have: (1) a motor vehicle liability insurance policy, or (2) insurance coverage pursuant to a motor vehicle liability insurance policy and the person was driving with the consent of the self-insurer. The court found that because Karen had a liability policy, the issue was whether Karen had coverage pursuant to that policy. Summarily stating that the rental vehicle was not owned or leased by Karen, the court found that Karen's Farm Bureau policy only provided excess coverage and that Enterprise was required by statute to provide primary liability coverage.
On appeal, Enterprise argues: (1) Karen's policy with Farm Bureau provided primary coverage under the facts of this case; (2) the excess insurance clause in Karen's personal policy cannot displace the provisions of K.S.A. 40-3104(f) and creates a duty to pay self-insurance benefits; (3) Enterprise is not obligated to pay defense costs in a suit against the renter; and (4) Enterprise has a right to indemnification from Karen.
However, we perceive the matter is resolved by determining Enterprise's statutory obligation to provide liability coverage for its rental drivers and determining Farm Bureau's contractual obligation to provide coverage for its insureds while driving a rental vehicle. The analysis requires that we interpret the Kansas Automobile Injury Reparations Act (KAIRA), K.S.A. 40-3101 et seq., and the Millers' insurance policy issued by Farm Bureau, thus presenting questions of law over which we have unlimited review. See Taliaferro v. Taliaferro, 269 Kan. 722, 726, 7 P.3d 1241 (2000) (interpretation of a written instrument and interpretation of applicable statutes); Progressive Casualty Ins. Co. v. Farm Bureau Mut. Ins. Co., 27 Kan. App. 2d 765, 766, 9 P.3d 565, rev. denied 270 Kan. ___ (2000) (interpretation of the "other insurance" clause of an automobile insurance policy).
The district court correctly rejected Farm Bureau's argument that the KAIRA requires Enterprise to provide primary liability coverage for its rental drivers in all circumstances. At oral argument, Farm Bureau strenuously asserted that we must be guided by the provisions of K.S.A. 40-3104(a), which requires that "[e]very owner shall provide motor vehicle liability insurance coverage in accordance with the provisions of this act for every motor vehicle owned by such person." Farm Bureau seems to intimate that: (1) K.S.A. 40-3104(a) requires all vehicle owners to provide primary liability coverage on owned vehicles; (2) Enterprise owned the pickup; (3) therefore, Enterprise must provide primary liability coverage on the pickup. The syllogism falters because K.S.A. 40-3104(a) does not require every vehicle owner to provide primary coverage, or even any coverage, in all circumstances, but rather it requires that coverage be provided in accordance with the other KAIRA provisions. For instance, K.S.A. 40-3107(h) permits an insurer to exclude liability coverage while the insured vehicle is being rented to others. Indeed, the Millers' policy with Farm Bureau contains such an exclusion. Farm Bureau argued below that the legislature intended insurance companies and self-insurers to be treated the same, citing Overbaugh v. Strange, 254 Kan. 605, 612, 867 P.2d 1016 (1994). However, inexplicably, Farm Bureau then asserts K.S.A. 40-3104(a) precludes Enterprise from excluding coverage to rental drivers while allowing Farm Bureau to do so.
KAIRA does, in fact, treat self-insurers differently, as evidenced by a specific provision applicable to self-insured rental car companies:
"A self-insurer shall provide liability coverage subject to the provisions of subsection (e) of K.S.A. 40-3107 [minimum limits of liability], and amendments thereto, arising out of the ownership, operation, maintenance or use of a self-insured motor vehicle in those instances where the lessee or the rental driver, if not the lessee, does not have a motor vehicle liability insurance policy or insurance coverage pursuant to a motor vehicle liability insurance policy or certificate of insurance or such insurance policy for such leased or rented vehicle. Such liability coverage shall be provided to any person operating a self-insured motor vehicle with the expressed or implied consent of the self-insurer." K.S.A. 40-3104(f).
The rules of statutory construction are well settled. See State v. Engles, 270 Kan. 530, 533, 17 P.3d 355 (2001); In re Marriage of Killman, 264 Kan. 33, 42-43, 955 P.2d 1228 (1998). When read in conjunction with the other provisions of the KAIRA, including K.S.A. 40-3104(a), it is clear that a self-insurer may not entirely exclude coverage for a rental driver, but it is only required to provide liability coverage on rented vehicles when an authorized driver does not have his or her own liability coverage. The legislative history of the 1996 amendment to K.S.A. 40-3104(f) confirms this interpretation. The original version of House Bill 2652 required self-insurers to "provide direct and primary coverage," but the legislature eliminated this language in favor of the current language.
In the rental agreement, Karen was specifically authorized to operate the pickup. By definition in Farm Bureau's insurance policy, Karen was a named insured and, thus, had a "motor vehicle liability insurance policy." Therefore, Enterprise was required to provide minimum property damage liability coverage for Karen's accident if, and only if, Karen's Farm Bureau policy did not provide coverage for the accident.
Farm Bureau argued, and the district court agreed, that Karen did not have primary liability coverage under her personal insurance policy because of a policy provision that states:
"If there is other applicable liability insurance on a loss covered by this Part, we will pay our proportionate share as our limits of liability bear to the total of all applicable liability limits. Any insurance afforded under this Part for a vehicle you do not own or lease, however, is excess over any other liability insurance and shall be limited to the difference between the liability limits on the nonowned vehicle and the liability limits on the described vehicle." (Emphasis added.)
The district court found that Karen did not own or lease the pickup truck, thereby invoking the "other insurance" provision of the Farm Bureau policy. The district court then opined that because Karen only had "excess coverage," she did not have "insurance coverage pursuant to a motor vehicle liability insurance policy" as contemplated in K.S.A. 40-3104(f) and, therefore, the self-insurer (Enterprise) had to provide primary coverage.
We disagree with the district court on two levels: (1) within the framework of Farm Bureau's policy definitions, the pickup was a leased vehicle and the excess coverage policy provision was inapplicable; and (2) K.S.A. 40-3104(f) does not require the rental driver's insurance coverage to be "primary coverage" to avoid the contingency triggering a self-insurer's statutory obligation.
A. Applicability of Excess Clause
Farm Bureau's excess coverage provision only applies to a vehicle "you" do not own or lease. The district court did not explain its finding that Karen did not lease the pickup. Perhaps the district court was persuaded by Enterprise's rental agreement, which identified Max Miller as the "renter" and Karen Miller as an "additional driver". Nevertheless, if we find that the pickup was leased by Farm Bureau's insured, the excess coverage provision does not apply.
"An insurance policy should be construed to give effect to the intention of the parties. The test applied in determining that intention is not what the insured intended the policy to mean, but what a reasonable person in the position of the insured would understand it to mean. Wheeler v. Employer's Mutual Casualty Co., 211 Kan. 100, 104, 505 P.2d 768 (1973). The terms of an insurance contract, as in the case of any written contract, must be considered as a whole. Bramlett v. State Farm Mutual Ins. Co., 205 Kan. 128, 468 P.2d 157 (1970)." Farm Bureau Mutual Ins. Co. v. Horinek, 233 Kan. 175, 179-80, 660 P.2d 1374 (1983).
Farm Bureau expresses its coverage utilizing the pronoun "you," which the policy specifically defines to mean both Max and Karen. Max, an insurance contract "you," signed an agreement to lease a vehicle which permitted Karen, another contractual "you," to drive the vehicle. A reasonable person in the Millers' position would not understand the excess coverage clause to be applied based upon which collectively defined "you" actually signed the rental agreement. Having affirmatively expressed coverage through broad promises, Farm Bureau had a duty to define limitations on that coverage in clear and explicit terms. See Marquis v. State Farm Fire & Cas. Co., 265 Kan. 317, 327, 961 P.2d 1213 (1998). Accordingly, we find the pickup was a vehicle leased by Farm Bureau's insured and, therefore, the excess coverage provision did not apply.
B. Interpretation of "insurance coverage"
More fundamental to the district court's ruling was its apparent belief that the phrase "insurance coverage" in K.S.A. 40-3104(f) means "primary coverage," i.e., Enterprise has to pay if Karen's Farm Bureau coverage is not "primary" because of the excess coverage clause. We do not read that additional contingency into the statute.
Unquestionably, Farm Bureau was required by its policy and did, in fact, provide Karen coverage while she was operating the rental pickup. Even under Farm Bureau's interpretation of the interplay of the self-insurer statute and its policy, Farm Bureau was liable for all property damage that Karen negligently caused with the rental pickup over and above the minimum property damage limit of $10,000 up to the policy property damage limit of $50,000. In other words, if Karen had demolished a vehicle worth $50,000, Farm Bureau would be arguing over whether it had to pay $40,000 or $50,000, not whether it had to cover Karen. This was not one of "those instances where the lessee or the rental driver, if not the lessee, does not have . . . insurance coverage pursuant to a motor vehicle liability insurance policy" contemplated by K.S.A. 40-3104(f). Karen did have coverage, subject only to the condition that any other applicable insurance pays first.
Here, there was not "any other liability insurance" applicable. K.S.A. 40-3104(f) presents an either/or situation: either there is no personal insurance coverage and the self-insurer pays, or there is personal insurance coverage and the self-insurer does not pay. Karen had insurance coverage; Enterprise was not required to provide any coverage; there was no other liability insurance over which Farm Bureau's insurance could be in excess. Farm Bureau was responsible for the defense, settlement, and payment of the judgment against its insured without reimbursement from Enterprise.

What is professional communication? Do you know? In an article on hubpages.com, professional communication is described as the "oral, written, and visual discipline within a work place context…" But what does this topic really encompass? It is undoubtedly a set of expectations to be followed when you are applying for jobs, and even after you start your career. Here we will address some of the most pressing issues and clearly outline employers expectations when it comes to professional communication.
As you may know, Career Services frequently partners with area employers to hold on-campus interviews. This is an excellent opportunity for students to interview without having to make travel plans. Students can meet face-to-face with employers. One of the biggest taboos in the interview process is unprofessional communication. Cell phones can become very disruptive during interviews. Never answer texts or phone calls while you are in an interview. It seems like common sense, but believe it or not, it does happen. Wikihow.com suggests turning your phone OFF completely before you head into an interview. This is the best way to ensure that you will not be interrupted by or even tempted to check your phone. The employer that wrote the article on wikihow.com talked about a woman who answered a personal call in the middle of her interview, and talked for 10 minutes! This gives the interviewer the impression that the interview is not important to you, and therefore will not be interested in making you a priority for hire. Take their advice and leave your phone off. It is even a good idea to turn off your phone before you get into the building. If you walk in talking on your phone, you don't appear attentive and people in the building may get a bad first impression of you. Just turn it off!
Another recent employer told Career Services that six job candidates in one day failed to show up for their scheduled interview without so much as a phone call or email to the employer letting them know they could no longer make it. This sends a big red flag to a potential employer, and will prevent them from granting you a make-up interview. Always remember to write down the date and time of your interview on a calendar or a self-planner and double check the time and place. If you are unable to make it to your interview, let the interviewer know as soon as possible. A quick phone call is the best approach, but an email is also appropriate if written professionally.
This brings us to the next professional communication topic: electronic correspondence. The number one rule in professional emailing is to always use correct English grammar: Never, ever, ever use texting slang or emoticons like lol, thanx, cya, b4, :), , etc. This makes you appear extremely unprofessional, not to mention childish. It is also recommended that you avoid using ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. This is commonly conceived as "shouting" and may be misinterpreted by the receiver. If you are emailing to cancel an appointment with a potential employer, be clear and honest. If you are no longer interested in the position, thank them for their interest in you and inform them that you have decided to look elsewhere. If you wish to cancel and reschedule, say so. Ask the interviewer if there are any available times that you could meet, and give suggestions on times that may work for you. If you express interest and a willingness to be flexible, an employer may be more likely to give you a second shot.
It is important to remember that in a professional setting, there are certain expectations that must be met. Using your cell phone, not showing up to meetings, and sloppy emailing techniques are all ways to show a potential employer that you may not be 100% committed to the interview, therefore they won't be 100% committed to you either. Practice your professional communication skills and follow these simple tips and you'll be on your way to making a good impression. Also check out the Career Services website to get more tips on interviewing and find out more about other on-campus interviews.
