Tonya Huber v. Westar Foods, Inc.

ontractor Needs Permission of Insurer to be Protected by an Owner-Controlled Insurance Program Team Industrial Services, Inc. (Team) found it had incurred a $222 million judgment against it in a wrongful-death lawsuit arising out of a steam-turbine failure in June 2018 at a Westar Energy, Inc. (Westar) power plant. Team sought indemnity for the judgment from Westar, Zurich AmeCrican Insurance Company (Zurich), and two other insurance companies, arguing that it was, or should have been, provided protection by Westar's Owner-Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP) through insurance policies issued by Zurich and the two other insurers. In Team Industrial Services, Inc. v. Zurich American Insurance Company, et al, No. 22-3275, USCA, Tenth Circuit (November 29, 2023) resolved the dispute acknowledging that Team's arguments were well reasoned and creative.BACKGROUNDIn 2013 Westar instituted its OCIP, through which contractors and subcontractors could obtain insurance protection for work performed at covered locations. Westar had discretion to decide which contractors would be eligible to enroll in the OCIP. Eligible contractors had to complete enrollment forms to be considered for participation. During the time relevant to this dispute, insurance was provided by a Zurich policy, whose premiums were paid by Westar. According to Zurich's policy, an enrolled contractor's "rights and duties under this policy may not be transferred without [Zurich's] written consent." (emphasis added)Westar never made Team eligible to enroll in the OCIP.  Team never submitted an enrollment application, and it was never enrolled. Team's parent company acquired Furmanite's parent company.Although Team and Furmanite became "sister companies," they were distinct legal entities and never merged. Team assumed Furmanite's workload at the power plant. Furmanite's insurance coverage under the Westar OCIP continued even though its service contract had been retired. Furmanite's coverage continued, even after it perhaps should have ended.Team argued to the District Court that it inherited Furmanite's coverage under the OCIP.The District Court ruled that Change Order No. 2 unambiguously retired Furmanite's MSA and left Team's MSA as the sole governing document. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/barry-zalma/support

DISCUSSION Team ignored that the enrollment in Westar's OCIP was not automatic. Since Team never enrolled nor was it even invited to enroll in Westar's OCIP, nor did Zurich ever give written approval to a transfer of coverage from Furmanite to Team, coverage did not exist.The Change Order did not contain a mention of insurance coverage or the OCIP. There is no ambiguity in the language of the change order from Finally, Team raises a perfunctory claim of promissory estoppel.  Since there was no allegation that Westar knew about the reporting it could hardly have expected to induce Team's reliance. Nor was there any evidence of a promise by Zurich to provide insurance coverage to Team.The Tenth Circuit affirmed the judgment. ZALMA OPINION When Team's parent company acquired Furmanites parent company and took over the work originally done by Furmanite it assumed that it was covered under the OCIP but did nothing to confirm the fact, proving that breaking it up into its component part and will cost Team $222 million. Insurance, even a contract as complex as an OCIP, must be fulfilled and to gain the coverage Westar needed to allow them to apply, Team needed to file an application with Zurich and Zurich had to agree. None of those things happened and Team had no coverage. (c) 2023 Barry Zalma & ClaimSchool, Inc.

An interview with Dr. B. Brandon Scott Dr. Brandon Scott explains the complicated history of resurrection. It was not an Easter celebration during biblical times, but the hope of God's restoration of things was handed down from Daniel and the Maccabees.  Sacrifice was widespread in the ancient world, not because of sins, but as an act intended to realign the world with God. Writing of Jesus's death come from a conviction that his death was not defeat but that God made him alive. Bernard Brandon Scott is the Darbeth Distinguished Professor of New Testament Emeritus, Phillips Theological Seminary, Tulsa. He is a charter member of the Jesus Seminar and co-chaired Westar's Christianity 1 Seminar. Scott is the author and editor of many books, including The Real Paul: Recovering His Radical Challenge, The Trouble with Resurrection, Hear then the Parable, and Re-imagine the World: An Introduction to the Parables.

What superlative would you give the girls (e.g. "Most likely to be banned from a McDonald's" or "Most likely to star in a kung-fu action movie") Tropical Rouge Episode 45 gives us the intense final battle with Butler, the return of PreCure Giant Lady (Tropical edition), and Laura must make a choice. It's looking like next episode will be really emotional, and we're not ready. Fresh PreCure We cover episodes 45-47, which involves the PreCure revealing their identities to their family, a cute moment between Love and Daisuke, the dreaded DELETE HOLE, a donut revolution, and the final battles against Westar, Soular, and Northa. We also must bid farewell to Westar and Soular, who are lost to the delete hole- a tragic end that sounds far funnier than the scene actually was.

Really, though, this episode shows us what an excellent partner Honoka is to Nagisa. Fresh PreCure We cover episodes 37-39, which involve a training facility and a shallow falling out between the Fresh girls, Miki giving a small child the Clover Box and losing it (surprising no one), and a trip to Okinawa for Love and her class, giving us Love and Daisuke moments.

She and Love go out to dinner, and Westar seems to miss his former ally. We also speculate on where the story may go from here.

Democratic state Rep. Gail Finney, Wichita City Council member Brandon Johnson, Pastor William Vann and Helen Abdul-Raheem, who runs a child care facility, discuss their opposition to size, location and messaging involved with massive poles installed by Westar Energy, now known as Evergy.

Happy Monday! Interview Dr. Gerard Lamiero, author "More Great News for America" on upcoming midterm elections, Trump Supreme Court nominations, and socialism in the Democratic party. Kansas State Legislators fight Westar energy on rate hikes. Discussion of weekend protests and divisiveness during Independence day celebrations. 

Chuck Caisley, a spokesman for KCP&L, and Jeff Martin, vice president for regulatory affairs at Westar, say history suggests the new company — named Evergy — will enjoy 15 years of stable rates. Responding to comments made in an earlier podcast, they say lawmakers are well-informed on energy policy and reject the idea that they have an upper-hand in negotiations.

A look at how utility companies are regulated and their influence on lawmakers, featuring Dorothy Barnett, executive director of the Climate and Energy Project, Paul Snider, with the Kansas Industrial Consumers Group, and Jeff Glendening, director of the Kansas chapter of Americans for Prosperity.

***Celene Lillie and Arthur Dewey will be at Southminster Presbyterian Church for a Jesus Seminar on the Road, November 10-11, 2017.*** The Nag Hammadi library discovered in 1945 has provided a number of alternative Christian texts.   They were not included in the Bible. They have been dismissed by many orthodox Christians as Gnostic or even heresy.  Yet new scholarship is discovering the complexity of these texts and the value they have for many today. Dr. Celene Lillie discusses three of these texts in her book, The Rape of Eve:  The Transformation of Roman ideology in Three Early Christian Retellings of Genesis. In each of these texts, “On the Origin of the World,” “The Reality of the Rulers,” and “The Secret Revelation of John,” Eve is portrayed as having been humiliated by the cosmic powers but experiences restoration.  She sees these Nag Hammadi stories as affirmation of women’s value and wisdom and as myths of resistance to Roman imperial power and to Rome’s culture of rape and domination. Celene Lillie (Ph.D., Union Theological Seminary) is the Director of the recently established Tanho Center and on the pastoral and adult education staff at First United Methodist Church in Boulder, Colorado. She has collaborated on and coordinated many different research projects, most recently as Director of Translations for A New New Testament edited by Hal Taussig (2013). She is the author of The Rape of Eve: The Transformation of Roman Ideology in Three Early Christian Retellings of Genesis (2017) and the co-author of The Thunder: Perfect Mind: A New Translation (2010). Her research interests include gender, violence, and trauma in early Jesus/Christian literatures ranging from the New Testament to Nag Hammadi. **This is an encore presentation of an episode originally released in June 2017**

While they aren't household names, but utility deals are likely to drive 2016 M&A, reporter Matt Monks tells Deal of the Week host Alex Sherman. They discuss why an $8.6 billion takeover of Midwestern energy producer Westar by Great Plains Energy proves industry consolidation isn't slowing down, and Monks offers a few suggestions for future deal targets. Plus, Gadfly columnist Max Nisen says he can't see a situation where anyone buys Valeant, even though the stock spiked on last week's Wall Street Journal report that Japanese pharma firm Takeda and private equity giant TPG approached the floundering company about a possible takeover.

In the current study tissue cultures of rapeseed (cv. “Drakkar”, cv. “Westar”) and sugarbeet (cv. ”Viktoria”, cv. “VRB”, cv. ”31-188”, cv. ”7T1308” and 47 other breeding lines, Appendix 1) have been investigated for the establishment of conditions that make possible plastid transformation in both species. Tobacco leaf protoplasts (cv. ”petite Havana”, cv. ”Wisconsin 38”) were used to develop a novel technique – the TAL (thin-alginate-layers) technique. The TAL technique in combination with new culture media resulted in very rapid protoplast development and fast shoot regeneration (in less than two weeks). This method was also successfully applied to improve protoplast culture of rapeseed and of the extremely recalcitrant species sugarbeet. Factors, which included protoplast source, mineral and organic composition of isolation and culture media, influence of growth regulators etc. were investigated and conditions for protoplast culture and regeneration were established for both species. According to reports in the literature, only protoplasts from guard cells could be regenerated into plants. Thus, an alternative and reproducible method of shoot regeneration from protoplasts isolated from hypocotyl derived callus was successfully developed. While no shoot regeneration was observed from guard cell protoplasts in our experiments, plant regeneration (efficiencies up to 30%) from callus protoplasts could be achieved for the first time in this study. The influence of different parameters on the efficiency of callus formation from etiolated hypocotyl explants was investigated. Protoplasts from callus and hypocotyl derived callus were used for the experiments on nuclear transformation in sugarbeet. Both, the PEG method and the biolistic method were successfully applied to obtain nuclear transformants as confirmed by molecular methods (PCR analysis and Southern blot hybridisation). The biolistic method was applied for plastid transformation experiments in sugarbeet. Species specific vectors containing the aadA cassette were constructed for plastid transformation in rapeseed and sugarbeet. However, difficulties to select plastid transformants were observed due to a high natural resistance to spectinomycin and streptomycin in rapeseed. In sugarbeet spectinomycin at a concentration of 100 mg/l was found efficient for selection and spectinomycin and streptomycin resistant colonies were obtained after callus bombardment. The presence of the aadA gene in antibiotic-resistant lines was proven by PCR analysis, but an integration of DNA into the plastome could not be verified so far. Efficient regeneration systems and methods of DNA transfer were established for rapeseed and sugarbeet and straightened the way for successful plastid transformation in either species.
