it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by | |
the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or | |
(at your option) any later version. | |

Version 3, 29 June 2007 | |
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/> | |
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | |
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |
Preamble | |
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for | |
software and other kinds of works. | |
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed | |
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, | |
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to | |
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free | |
software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the | |
GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to | |
any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to | |
your programs, too. | |
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not | |
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you | |
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | |
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you | |
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new | |
free programs, and that you know you can do these things. | |
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you | |
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have | |
certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if | |
you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others. | |
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether | |
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same | |
freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive | |
or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they | |
know their rights. | |
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: | |
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License | |
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. | |
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains | |
that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and | |
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as | |
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to | |
authors of previous versions. | |
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run | |
modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer | |
can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of | |
protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic | |
pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to | |
use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we | |
have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those | |
products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we | |
stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions | |
of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users. | |
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. | |
States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of | |
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to | |
avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could | |
make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that | |
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. | |
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | |
modification follow. | |
0. Definitions. | |
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. | |
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of | |
works, such as semiconductor masks. | |
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this | |
License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and | |
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations. | |
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work | |
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an | |
exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the | |
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. | |
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based | |
on the Program. | |
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without | |
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for | |
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a | |
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, | |
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the | |
public, and in some countries other activities as well. | |
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other | |
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through | |
a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. | |
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" | |
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible | |
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) | |
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the | |
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the | |
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If | |
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a | |
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. | |
1. Source Code. | |
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work | |
for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source | |
form of a work. | |
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official | |
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of | |
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that | |
is widely used among developers working in that language. | |
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other | |
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of | |
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major | |
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that | |
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an | |
implementation is available to the public in source code form. A | |
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component | |
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system | |
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to | |
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. | |
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all | |
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable | |
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to | |
control those activities. However, it does not include the work's | |
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free | |
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but | |
which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source | |
includes interface definition files associated with source files for | |
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically | |
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, | |
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those | |
subprograms and other parts of the work. | |
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users | |
can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding | |
Source. | |
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that | |
same work. | |
2. Basic Permissions. | |
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of | |
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated | |
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited | |
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a | |
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its | |
content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your | |
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. | |
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not | |
convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains | |
in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose | |
of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you | |
with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with | |
the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do | |
not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works | |
for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction | |
and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of | |
your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. | |
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under | |
the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 | |
makes it unnecessary. | |
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. | |
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological | |
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article | |
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or | |
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such | |
measures. | |
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid | |
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention | |
is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to | |
the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or | |
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's | |
users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of | |
technological measures. | |
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. | |
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you | |
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and | |
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; | |
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any | |
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; | |
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all | |
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. | |
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, | |
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. | |
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. | |
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to | |
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the | |
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | |
a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified | |
it, and giving a relevant date. | |
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is | |
released under this License and any conditions added under section | |
7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to | |
"keep intact all notices". | |
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this | |
License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This | |
License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 | |
additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, | |
regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no | |
permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not | |
invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. | |
d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display | |
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive | |
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your | |
work need not make them do so. | |
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent | |
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, | |
and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, | |
in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an | |
"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not | |
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users | |
beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work | |
in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other | |
parts of the aggregate. | |
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. | |
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms | |
of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the | |
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, | |
in one of these ways: | |
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | |
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the | |
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium | |
customarily used for software interchange. | |
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | |
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a | |
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as | |
long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product | |
model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a | |
copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the | |
product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical | |
medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no | |
more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this | |
conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the | |
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. | |
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the | |
written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This | |
alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and | |
only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord | |
with subsection 6b. | |
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated | |
place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the | |
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no | |
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the | |
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to | |
copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source | |
may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) | |
that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain | |
clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the | |
Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the | |
Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is | |
available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. | |
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided | |
you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding | |
Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no | |
charge under subsection 6d. | |
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded | |
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be | |
included in conveying the object code work. | |
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any | |
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, | |
or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation | |
into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, | |
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular | |
product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a | |
typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status | |
of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user | |
actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product | |
is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial | |
commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent | |
the only significant mode of use of the product. | |
"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, | |
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install | |
and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from | |
a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must | |
suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object | |
code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because | |
modification has been made. | |
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or | |
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as | |
part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the | |
User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a | |
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the | |
Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied | |
by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply | |
if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install | |
modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has | |
been installed in ROM). | |
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a | |
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates | |
for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for | |
the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a | |
network may be denied when the modification itself materially and | |
adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and | |
protocols for communication across the network. | |
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, | |
in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly | |
documented (and with an implementation available to the public in | |
source code form), and must require no special password or key for | |
unpacking, reading or copying. | |
7. Additional Terms. | |
"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this | |
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. | |
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall | |
be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent | |
that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions | |
apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately | |
under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by | |
this License without regard to the additional permissions. | |
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option | |
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of | |
it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own | |
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place | |
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, | |
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. | |
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you | |
add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of | |
that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: | |
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the | |
terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or | |
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or | |
author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal | |
Notices displayed by works containing it; or | |
c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or | |
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in | |
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or | |
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or | |
authors of the material; or | |
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some | |
trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or | |
f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that | |
material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of | |
it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for | |
any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on | |
those licensors and authors. | |
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further | |
restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you | |
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is | |
governed by this License along with a term that is a further | |
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains | |
a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this | |
License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms | |
of that license document, provided that the further restriction does | |
not survive such relicensing or conveying. | |
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you | |
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the | |
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating | |
where to find the applicable terms. | |
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the | |
form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; | |
the above requirements apply either way. | |
8. Termination. | |
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly | |
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or | |
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under | |
this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third | |
paragraph of section 11). | |
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your | |
license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) | |
provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and | |
finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright | |
holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means | |
prior to 60 days after the cessation. | |
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is | |
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the | |
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have | |
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that | |
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after | |
your receipt of the notice. | |
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the | |
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under | |
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently | |
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same | |
material under section 10. | |
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. | |
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or | |
run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work | |
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission | |
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, | |
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or | |
modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do | |
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a | |
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. | |
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. | |
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically | |
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and | |
propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible | |
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. | |
An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an | |
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an | |
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered | |
work results from an entity transaction, each party to that | |
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever | |
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could | |
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the | |
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if | |
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. | |
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the | |
rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may | |
not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of | |
rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation | |
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that | |
any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for | |
sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. | |
11. Patents. | |
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this | |
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The | |
work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version". | |
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims | |
owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or | |
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted | |
by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, | |
but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a | |
consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For | |
purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant | |
patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of | |
this License. | |
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free | |
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to | |
make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and | |
propagate the contents of its contributor version. | |
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express | |
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent | |
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to | |
sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a | |
party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a | |
patent against the party. | |
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, | |
and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone | |
to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a | |
publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, | |
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so | |
available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the | |
patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner | |
consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent | |
license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have | |
actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the | |
covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work | |
in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that | |
country that you have reason to believe are valid. | |
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or | |
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a | |
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties | |
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify | |
or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license | |
you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered | |
work and works based on it. | |
A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within | |
the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is | |
conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are | |
specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered | |
work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is | |
in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment | |
to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying | |
the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the | |
parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory | |
patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work | |
conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily | |
for and in connection with specific products or compilations that | |
contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, | |
or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. | |
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting | |
any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may | |
otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. | |
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. | |
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | |
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | |
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a | |
covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | |
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may | |
not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you | |
to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey | |
the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this | |
License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. | |
13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. | |
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have | |
permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed | |
under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single | |
combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this | |
License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, | |
but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, | |
section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the | |
combination as such. | |
14. Revised Versions of this License. | |
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of | |
the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will | |
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to | |
address new problems or concerns. | |
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the | |
Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General | |
Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the | |
option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered | |
version or of any later version published by the Free Software | |
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the | |
GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published | |
by the Free Software Foundation. | |
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future | |
versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's | |
public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you | |
to choose that version for the Program. | |
Later license versions may give you additional or different | |
permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any | |
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a | |
later version. | |
15. Disclaimer of Warranty. | |
16. Limitation of Liability. | |
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. | |
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided | |
above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, | |
reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates | |
an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the | |
Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a | |
copy of the Program in return for a fee. | |

Carmel Commercial Umbrella Insurance
All businesses are different, and not just because of the products or services they offer. Some companies work with the public while others are only business to business. Some commercial enterprises work with potentially dangerous materials or in potentially dangerous environments while others are at stationed behind desks. Depending on the specific situation of your company you may require more than what the standard liability insurance offers.
Your standard liability insurance protects you and your business against certain types of loss but may not provide sufficient coverage in the event of a lawsuit or if your business is faced with overwhelming cost claims. Tom Plummer Agency in Carmel provides commercial umbrella insurance that offers additional protection and coverage to pick up where your standard liability policy finishes off.

Under certain circumstances, liability claims against your business may require you to pay out of pocket for legal fees, medical bills, and other damages. Consult with a Tom Plummer Agency insurance specialist to add an extra layer of essential protection to your existing liability coverage in case damage claims exceed the limits of an existing primary policy.
Commercial Umbrella Coverage from Tom Plummer Agency Protects Your Business Assets from:
- Slip and fall accident on your commercial property that causes a serious injury
- Significant damage or injury caused as a result of an error
- Liability claims due to negligence or misrepresentation in the course of advertising or providing services
- Offers expanded auto and property coverage not included in your primary policy
Customizing Your Commercial Umbrella Policy
No two businesses are alike. From a professional health care provider's office, to a beauty salon or auto body shop, each commercial enterprise has different insurance needs. Many business owners remain unaware of the financial consequences involved if faced with a significant legal claim and most have even less time to study all of their insurance options. To learn how specific commercial umbrella coverages can affect and protect your business in Carmel, contact an experienced Tom Plummer Agency agent to discuss your options for the financial protection you need.

मेटाःके बारे में
Welcome to the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki (often shortened to Meta-Wiki or simply Meta), a wiki for coordinating amongst the Wikimedia projects.
Meta serves three distinct roles, which are all closely related but often involve different subsets of users.
- Discussion and formulation of Wikimedia projects, in particular policy discussion relevant across projects, such as open-content licensing. The central venue for discussion is the Wikimedia Forum. Some high-level discussions, held mainly in 2009, were split off to Strategy Wiki.
- A place for interlingual (cross-wiki) and international coordination concerning the Wikimedia projects and the Wikimedia movement in general, including discussion in languages other than English. This includes requests (for pan-Wikimedia or other wikis), translations and news, and the description, documentation, and discussion of real-life activities and facts related to the Wikimedia Foundation and affiliates. See also reports, events, outreach, and grants.
- A forum for personal essays about Wikimedia projects. Because these are usually not delivered from a neutral point of view, they should be summarized on neutral issues pages from multiple points of view using formats such as TIPAESA or its subset IPA. There is a degree of freedom in determining what is related to Wikimedia projects, which makes Meta also a meatball wiki of sorts, discussing such matters as wiki culture and patterns. Documentation of MediaWiki is mainly excluded now (see below). This role includes more formal research and related discussion.
The categories provide a big-picture representation of Meta's content.
What Meta is not
- A disposal site for uncorrectable articles from the different Wikipedias
- If you want to build your own wiki, check out the list of wiki software on Wikipedia.
- If you're looking for a wiki-based community, check out other wiki communities on Wikipedia, or MeatballWiki's community list.
- If you're looking for free webspace, you can find out more about that at web hosting service on Wikipedia.
- A place to describe the MediaWiki software. The software has its own wiki at MediaWiki.org. Content and pages such as these should be transferred.
It has often been discussed whether Meta has a community. What's sure is that it doesn't have a community of its own, separate from the communities of the Wikimedia projects: as someone said, «a meta-project—existing for and about the other Wikimedia wikis, not as a content project to itself—a community of communities, rather than its own little island community».
This also means that many discussions, processes and other activities happen on Meta, with different participants and people in charge (if any)—for instance, among many, some Wikimedia committees, the stewards, the WMF staff for grants—: none of them, and all of them, is Meta. Meta is the space and the tool for their participants to achieve their objectives, not an actor in them; and even less a power over them.
Strictly speaking, however, there is a community specific to Meta: it's a loose group of people regularly active in some or many such activities (especially as "gardeners"), who care about Meta serving the purpose above, and who are more likely to intervene to ensure it does.
"Metawikian" is a term also sometimes used, to indicate a member of the specific "Meta community", that is the community of Meta regulars who are more often active on Meta, for instance as contributors to its content pages or as facilitators of other discussions and processes.
Meta-Wiki was first created as "Meta-Wikipedia" in November 2001 to make the English Wikipedia less cluttered, by moving all meta-content (content about the Wikipedia website and its users), as opposed to actual content (encyclopedia articles), to a new wiki. Since its upgrade to Wikipedia's custom MediaWiki software, Meta has become a multilingual discussion forum used by all Wikimedia language communities. As the number of Wikimedia projects and translations increased, so too did Meta's scope. Meta comprises १,४६,१९९ articles. Many of the older pages here are still worded as being specific to Wikipedia, but arguably many now apply to all Wikimedia projects.

The winner of a roach-eating contest in South Florida died shortly after downing dozens of the live bugs as well as worms, authorities said Monday. About 30 contestants ate the insects during Friday night's contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach about 40 miles north of Miami. The grand prize was a python.
Edward Archbold, 32, of West Palm Beach became ill shortly after the contest ended and collapsed in front of the store, according to a Broward Sheriff's Office statement released Monday. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Authorities were waiting for results of an autopsy to determine a cause of death.
"Unless the roaches were contaminated with some bacteria or other pathogens, I don't think that cockroaches would be unsafe to eat," said Michael Adams, professor of entomology at the University of California at Riverside, who added that he has never heard of someone dying after consuming roaches. "Some people do have allergies to roaches," he said, "but there are no toxins in roaches or related insects."
None of the other contestants became ill, the sheriff's office said.
"We feel terribly awful," said store owner Ben Siegel, who added that Archbold did not appear to be sick before the contest. "He looked like he just wanted to show off and was very nice," Siegel said, adding that Archbold was "the life of the party."
Siegel said Archbold was selling the exotic prize to a friend who took him to the contest.
The Miami Herald reported the grand prize has been put aside in Archbold's name and will be given to his estate.
A statement from Siegel's attorney said all the participants signed waivers "accepting responsibility for their participation in this unique and unorthodox contest."
The bugs consumed were from an inventory of insects "that are safely and domestically raised in a controlled environment as food for reptiles." source: Yahoo News

After a week of bloodshed, Israel and fighters in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip agreed to "hold fire" beginning at 2 p.m. ET today, Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr announced at a joint news conference this afternoon with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Egypt had been trying to broker a truce to end the exchange of rockets and air strikes between Israel and militants in Gaza.
We'll post more on the agreement, which was announced at 12:35 p.m. ET., as the story develops.
Update at 5:55 p.m. ET. 'A Tenuous Nature':
The cease-fire is holding. But ABC News spoke to a senior White House official who said this is a fragile deal.
"The way we view this is that it's an important step, but our concerns are Egypt can't control all of Hamas and Hamas doesn't control every extremist with a rocket in Gaza," the official told ABC. "So there is a tenuous nature to this."
Update at 2:35 p.m. ET. Celebratory Gunfire:
While rockets and missiles don't seem to be flying, there has been quite a bit of celebratory gunfire in Gaza City, according to correspondents there. The BBC's Paul Danahar has posted audio of it.
Update at 2:15 p.m. ET. Seems Quiet, So Far:
News outlets and the many folks who have been tweeting from Gaza and Israel are not posting reports about rockets being fired at Israel or missiles hitting Gaza City.
Update at 2 p.m. ET. Netanyahu Says Military Action Was Necessary:
"That is what a responsible government does," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just said, referring to the military action aimed at Hamas.
"I know there are those who expected a more intense military response," he added, as The Guardian writes, "and that may be needed, but at this time the best thing for Israel" a cease-fire.
Update at 1:55 p.m. ET. Hamas Official Says It Can Control Factions And Stop Rocket Fire:
In Cairo moments ago, senior Hamas official Moussa Abou Marzouq said that he is sure Hamas can control all Palestinian factions within the Gaza Strip and stop the firing of rockets into Israel, NPR's Leila Fadel tells us.
He also argued that Hamas has gotten much of what it wanted: "providing Palestinian citizens with freedom at border crossings, opening border crossings, ending the targeting of Palestinians and ending military operations."
Whether those crossings will indeed be opened, though, remains to be seen.
Update at 1:45 p.m. ET. Text Of The Agreement:
Agence France Presse has posted what it says is the text of the agreement.
It begins with: "Israel shall stop all hostilities in the Gaza Strip land sea and air, including incursions and targeting of individuals. All Palestinian factions shall stop all hostilities from the Gaza Strip against Israel, including rocket attacks and all attacks along the border."
As for opening border crossings, that issue "shall be dealt with after 24 hours from the start of the ceasefire."
Update at 1:15 p.m. ET. If Hostilities Cease, Israel Won't Need To Act, Israeli Spokesman Says:
On CNN moments ago, Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said that "if there's no hostility from Gaza there's no reason for Israel to act." In other words, there's no reason for Israel to take aim at Hamas leaders. The truce agreement, Regev said, calls for "a total and complete cessation of all hostile activity" from Gaza.
Update at 1:10 p.m. ET. No Details Yet:
"The details of the deal are not yet clear, says the BBC's Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen. Israel's demands included an end to hostile fire of any kind from Gaza and international efforts to prevent Hamas from re-arming. For its part, Hamas wanted an end to the blockade on Gaza and targeted killings by Israel."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is due to make a statement at 1:30 p.m. ET. Meanwhile, the White House says President Obama today thanked Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi "for his efforts to achieve a sustainable ceasefire and for his personal leadership in negotiating a ceasefire proposal. President Morsi expressed appreciation for President Obama's efforts in this regard." Earlier, as we reported, the president spoke with Netanyahu.
Update at 12:55 p.m. ET. But Rocket Fire Continues:
CNN's Ben Wedeman just tweeted that "several rocket[s] just now fired out of #Gaza."
Update at 12:45 p.m. ET. Obama Said U.S. Would Use Cease-fire Period To Help Israel "Address Its Security Needs":
During a telephone conversation earlier today with Israeli Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu, President Obama "said that the United States would use the opportunity offered by a cease-fire to intensify efforts to help Israel address its security needs, especially the issue of the smuggling of weapons and explosives into Gaza," the White House says in a statement just emailed to reporters.
Update at 12:40 p.m. ET. Clinton Cites Need For "Just And Lasting Peace":
In her comments, the secretary of state said "there is no substitute for a just and lasting peace. ... Now that there is a cease-fire, I am looking forward to working with the foreign minister and others to move this process."
Our original post and earlier updates. "Bomb Rips Through Bus In Tel Aviv; Israel Continues Strikes On Gaza":
We're posting on the latest news from Israel and the Gaza Strip, and about efforts to bring about a cease-fire or truce. There's been an explosion on a bus today in Tel Aviv and Israel continues to hit targets in and around Gaza City. Meanwhile, efforts to broker a truce or cease-fire continue:
Update at 12:10 p.m. ET. Renewed Talk Of A Truce:
Reuters reports that "Israel and the Islamist militant group Hamas agreed on Wednesday to a Gaza cease-fire deal, said a Palestinian official with knowledge of Egyptian mediation between the two sides."
Correspondent Barack Ravid from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz tweets that "Israel official: SecState Clinton will announce 20:00 in Cairo on cease fire in Gaza." That would be 1 p.m. ET. Al-Jazeera says the announcement will come from Egyptian officials.
As we wrote earlier, "it's important to bear in mind that each day we seem to get reports of truce or cease-fire deals being discussed, only to be followed by reports of rockets being fired from Gaza and Israeli air strikes in response."
Update at noon ET. Israeli Official Says Most Of Those Killed In Gaza "Deserved It":
On WNYC's The Takeaway today, Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said that "if you compare the situation in Gaza, let's say, to the situation in Syria today, where the Assad regime just mercilessly butchers people and children, there is a big difference. I would say that most of the people that were hit in Gaza deserved it, as they were just armed terrorists."
Update at 11 a.m. ET. U.N. Secretary-General Says "Many Details" Need To Be Worked Out Before Any Cease-fire.
Reuters writes from Cairo that:
"U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said on Wednesday there were 'many details to work out' before a cease-fire could be reached to end the conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip. 'I am particularly concerned about the spiral of violence at the time of intense efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza and Israel,' Ban said. 'We all know there are many details to work out. But while that happens civilians continue to die.' "
Also: The number of people wounded by the explosion on a bus in Tel Aviv today is now being reported by the BBC and other news outlets as more than 20.
The BBC adds that Gaza officials say that over the past week, there have been 152 people killed there — 13 of them today. There have been five deaths in Israel.
Update at 10 a.m. ET. Truce Offer Being Discussed?
It's important to bear in mind that each day we seem to get reports of truce or cease-fire deals being discussed, only to be followed by reports of rockets being fired from Gaza and Israeli air strikes in response. So keep that in mind as Reuters' Dan Williams tweets that:
"Netanyahu convenes nine-member inner council to discuss Gaza truce offer; ministers 'optimistic' it could begin tonight."
Update at 8:30 a.m. ET. If There Is A Cease-fire, How Might It Work?
According to Reuters, "Israel's best-selling Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper said an emerging outline of a ceasefire agreement called for Egypt to announce a 72-hour ceasefire followed by further talks on long-term understandings."
Update at 7:50 a.m. ET. U.S. Condemns Bus Attack:
"The United States strongly condemns this terrorist attack [the bombing of a bus in Tel Aviv] and our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and the people of Israel," Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says in a statement released by her staff. "As I arrive in Cairo, I am closely monitoring reports from Tel Aviv, and we will stay in close contact with Prime Minister Netanyahu's team. The United States stands ready to provide any assistance that Israel requires."
The White House released a similar statement, and also said that "these attacks against innocent Israeli civilians are outrageous. The United States will stand with our Israeli allies, and provide whatever assistance is necessary to identify and bring to justice the perpetrators of this attack. The United States reaffirms our unshakeable commitment to Israel's security and our deep friendship and solidarity with the Israeli people."
From Jerusalem, NPR's Philip Reeves reports that the bus attack "happened around the same time Clinton was meeting Palestinian leaders in the West Bank city of Ramallah - before heading to Egypt. ... Many Israelis will view a bomb planted on a bus in the heart of their biggest city as a significant escalation in the conflict."
From Gaza, NPR's Anthony Kuhn reports that "overnight, Israeli forces continued to bomb government offices, rocket launch sites and Hamas operatives in Gaza, and militants continued to launch rockets at Israel.
Our original post:
Tuesday's talk of a possible cease-fire has been replaced with news today of an explosion on a bus in Tel Aviv and more Israeli airstrikes on targets in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.
The bus explosion injured at least 17 people, according to news reports. Israeli officials are saying that a bomb was left on the bus and are calling this a "terrorist attack." The BBC reports that the "Hamas-run Al-Aqsa TV" has issued a statement saying it "welcomes" the news of the bombing. The BBC's Jon Donnison tweets that "Hamas claims responsibility for bus explosion in Tel Aviv broadcatsing statement from mosques in #Gaza."
In the week since Israel began airstrikes on targets in Gaza — in response to rocket fire from forces in the Hamas-controlled territory — more than 130 people have reportedly been killed on the Gaza side and at least five have died in Israel.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon remain in the region. Egypt has been trying to broker a cease-fire or truce. Clinton and Ban are trying to help move that process along.
Clinton has met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian National Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. She goes to Egypt today. NPR's Philip Reeves reports that "all eyes are on the negotiations there, though no one is under any illusion that these will be easy."
We will update this post with news as the day continues.

Paper heart garland
A simple DIY Valentine's Day paper project: hearts on a string.
Cut colored paper into 3/4" strips. Fold them in half, or if you want some hearts that are twice as big, splice two strips of paper together at the bottom of each heart with double stick tape. Curl the loose ends around a chopstick or pen.
String the heart garland together from the bottom up. I used Sulky clear thread, available at fabric stores. It's curly and hard to see so you have to fight with it a bit, but it turns out nearly invisible. Push your threaded needle up through the bottom fold of each heart, then use double stick tape to sandwich the thread between the two halves of the curled tops.

Sochi Winter Olympics Recap — U.S. Men's Hockey Team On To Semis; Russia Loses
The U.S. men's hockey team cleared another hurdle in its pursuit of gold, and the Americans seized the overall medal lead. Here's a recap of Wednesday's action in Sochi:
Team USA Routs Czech Republic; Russia Eliminated
The U.S. men's hockey team routed the Czech Republic, 5-2, on Wednesday behind goals from James van Riemsdyk, Dustin Brown and Zach Pairse. The Americans advanced to Friday's semifinal round where they will play Canada, who squeaked by Latvia, 2-1, on Shea Weber's late power-play goal.
Finland eliminated Russia, 3-1, behind an early goal from Teemu Selanne and goalie Tuukka Rask's 37 saves. The host country last won a gold medal in men's hockey at the 1992 Olympics at Albertville, France.
In the other quarterfinal game, Sweden dominated Slovenia, 5-0, as goalie Henrik Lundqvist recorded the shutout. Sweden will face Finland in Friday's semifinal round.
American Ted Ligety Wins Giant Slalom
Powered by a lightning-fast first run, American Ted Ligety won the giant slalom at the Sochi Games on Wednesday and became the first U.S. man to win two Olympic gold medals in Alpine events. Ligety's first gold came in the combined event at Turin, Italy in 2006.
Frenchmen Steve Missillier and Alexis Pinturault won silver and bronze respectively.
U.S. Takes Bronze and Silver in Women's Bobsled
Canadians Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse won the women's two-person bobsledding competition at the Sochi Olympics on Wednesday edging out Americans Elana Meyers and Lauryn Williams by 0.10 seconds. Team USA's Jamie Greubel and Aja Evans claimed the bronze medal.
The dual medals represented the first time two U.S. women's bobsleds earned spots on the podium at an Olympic Games. Williams became the fifth Olympian to medal in events at both the Summer and Winter Games, adding her silver to the gold medal she won in the 4x100-meter relay at London in 2012. She also won a silver in the 100 meters at Athens in 2004. Meyers became the first U.S. woman bobsledder in history to win two medals.
Ole Einar Bjoerndalen Wins Olympic Record 13th Medal
Norwegian biathlete Ole Einar Bjoerndalen became the most decorated Winter Olympian ever when his country's team won the first Olympic mixed relay on Wednesday at Sochi. The gold was Bjoerndalen's 13th overall Winter Games medal and eighth gold. He won gold in the men's sprint biathlon earlier in the Games.
Medal Count
Thanks to skier Ted Ligety's gold in giant slalom and the bronze and silver haul in women's bobsled, the U.S. surged back into the overall medal lead with 23, including seven golds.
United States (23)
7 gold; 5 silver; 11 bronze
Russia (22)
6 gold; 9 silver; 7 bronze
Netherlands (22)
6 gold; 7 silver; 9 bronze
Norway (20)
9 gold; 4 silver; 7 bronze
Canada (18)
5 gold; 9 silver; 4 bronze

Now, to Egypt where there were more indications today that the country's top military chief is preparing to run for president. The armed forces announced on state television that Field Marshal Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi should, in their words, heed the call of the people and run for president in an election expected to be held within the next three months.
NPR's Leila Fadel joins us now from Cairo. Hi, Leila.
LEILA FADEL, BYLINE: Hi.
SIEGEL: And does this mean that Egypt's military chief is definitely running for president?
FADEL: Well, in the past, Field Marshal Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi has said he would run for president if he got the request from the people and the mandate from the army. And so right now, he has both of those things. And the only thing left to be done is for him to officially declare his candidacy.
SIEGEL: Today's announcement from the armed forces really doesn't come as a surprise, does it?
FADEL: No, not at all. For months, we've seen the build up to what people see as the great hero of Egypt now. Sisi is - his face is on chocolates, on posters. There are gold Sisi masks. There are columns about his Herculean strength. I spoke to an analyst today, Josh Stacher, from Kent Sate University, and he had this to say.
JOSH STACHER: What he represents is he's the public face of a military junta that is attempting to reassert control over a population.
SIEGEL: Not such an easy task. This comes after a particularly violent weekend in Egypt. Dozens of people were killed in clashes with security forces. Is more violence expected in Egypt?
FADEL: Yeah. What we saw over the weekend is that, really, no dissent against the military is acceptable. Police open fire pretty much on protests across the country of both Islamist and non-Islamists. Again, I'd like you to listen into what Stacher had to say about this.
STACHER: Any resistance from society, whether that comes from groups like the Muslim Brotherhood or whether that comes from groups like the revolutionaries, is going to be suppressed because they've made it a zero-sum game in which there's no easy outs for el-Sisi or the military junta.
FADEL: So now, if Sisi does run for president and wins, it looks like even less dissent will be accepted here in Egypt.
SIEGEL: Is the military taking a risk here? After all, Egypt faces huge problems: a battered economy, a corrupt bureaucracy, a country in which half of the people live at or below the poverty line. One could argue that you become president, you take responsibility for all of that.
FADEL: That's right. We've seen two leaders in the past have huge masses come out on the streets: Hosni Mubarak and then later, Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, who's now facing trial because their life wasn't getting better. And so far, none of those underlying problems have been solved. And the military has shied away from taking such bold responsibility. They've always sort of led in the background in the past three years other - during that transitional period. So by taking the presidency, they're taking that responsibility. And on top of that, they're also facing a low-level insurgency. We saw signs of that again this past weekend with bombings in Cairo. And a militant group taking a military helicopter out of the sky with the surface-to-air missile.
SIEGEL: That's NPR's Leila Fadel in Cairo on news today that Egypt's senior military leaders have endorsed Field Marshal Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to run for president. Leila, thank you.

Lowell Six wind turbine protesters convicted of trespassing

NEWPORT – It took a jury of nine women and three men four hours to find wind opponents known as the Lowell Six guilty of unlawful trespass, following a one-day trial here in Superior Court.
The verdict appeared to reflect a trial in which a straight law and order issue trumped a disputed property boundary.
Conflicting testimony over the dispute may have confused the jurors as about an hour or so into their deliberation, they sent a note to the judge.
They wanted to know if there could be a legal owner when a property is in dispute. And if the dispute was still current.
Trial Judge Martin Maley complimented the quality of the questions, but ruled each irrelevant.
"Do the best you can based on the evidence you heard," he instructed them.
Disputed property boundaries were the key to the defense case: If the state could not prove that the protesters were standing on property that was in the lawful possession of Green Mountain Power (GMP), then the defendants could not be convicted of unlawful trespass.
The prosecution argued that GMP was in lawful possession of the property, and that the protesters had broken the law when they refused to leave the land that had been posted by the company.
The trial was the first to be held involving protesters against the Lowell wind project that is being constructed by GMP.
Each of the six were arrested on December 5, 2011, when they refused police orders to leave posted property on Lowell Mountain while blocking the path of heavy construction vehicles.
Although the six presented their case as a group, the jury found each guilty as individuals.
Six more protesters are scheduled to be arraigned next month for a similar confrontation on the same mountain earlier this month.
Held Wednesday of last week, August 15, the trial was surprisingly silent on the underlying and highly charged issue that caused the defendants to break the law. Before the jury entered the courtroom, Judge Maley warned he would only allow limited testimony on why the defendants were on the land. And nothing, per se, on wind itself.
The jury, he said, knew what the case was about. "It's not a secret to them."
So wind remained the elephant in the room: the one everyone knew was there and agreed not to see.
Surprisingly, the only one to raise it as an issue was prosecutor Sarah Baker, when she sought to challenge the intent of the defense's star witness, surveyor Paul Hannan of Calais, formerly of Holland and at one time a Kingdom legislator who served in the House.
Placed on the stand as an expert witness by defense attorney Kristina Michelsen, Mr. Hannan was prepared to provide the rock-bottom kind of testimony the defense needed to support its case.
Mr. Hannan testified that he had 31 years of experience as a surveyor and the credentials to qualify as an expert. The rules of evidence, however, say that either side can challenge an expert's witness. And when her turn came, Ms. Baker proceeded vigorously.
First she asked Mr. Hannan about his association with Sterling College, and learned that during the years 1990 and 1991, he was one of the faculty members who accompanied students on three-to-four-day expeditions on Lowell Mountain.
The prosecutor pressed on. Did he have any prior knowledge of Don Nelson – who allowed the students to use his property and who also is in a property dispute with GMP concerning the boundary line between his land on the mountain and the adjourning site where the utility is constructing its wind project.
No, said Mr. Hannan.
Ms. Baker may have thought she had found a chink in the defense's armor when she abruptly asked the witness if he had any association with any anti-wind group.
Instead, the question brought a prompt objection from attorney Michelsen, along with a few hisses and murmurs from the 35 or so spectators in the gallery, a largely anti-wind crowd.
Judge Maley sustained the objection and Ms. Baker sat down, taking with her any references that the industrial wind project on Lowell Mountain had anything to do with the case.
There was a stirring in the closing moments of the trial when one of the defendants, Dr. Ronald Holland, took the stand. The doctor's name had surfaced earlier in the trial when Deputy Sheriff Phil Brooks testified for the state.
Of the ten protesters on the mountain that day, the deputy said he only knew Dr. Holland from previous personal and professional encounters. He went on to testify that about two weeks prior to the December 5 confrontation, he received a call at home from Dr. Holland. The doctor, according to the testimony, told the deputy he was going to the mountain that day to protest and wanted the deputy to arrest him.
"I informed him I was off duty and it wasn't going to be me," Deputy Brooks testified, adding that he passed what he characterized an "odd request" on to the State Police, who didn't do anything either.
That testimony was before the jury when Dr. Holland took the stand late in the day. The 67-year-old resident of Irasburg told jurors that days prior to the confrontation with police, he had gone onto the site and measured with twine the distance where he believed Mr. Nelson's property ended.
And on the day of the confrontation, he testified he went to the limit of that measured distance.
But in a question that had nearly everyone in the courtroom leaning forward on the edge of their seats, Ms. Michelsen asked the emergency room doctor why he had climbed to the top of Lowell Mountain on December 5, 2011.
He paused and bowed his head a moment before answering that he had gone there to "protest the taking of Don Nelson's property."
Defendant David Rodgers, 69, of Craftsbury followed Dr. Holland to the stand and testified that he too believed he was on the Nelson property when police moved in to arrest him.
He testified that Dr. Holland had tied a block of wood to the end of a string as a means of measuring the property's boundary. And that he was "very careful not to" trespass on the land GMP is leasing to erect its 21-turbine wind plant.
The procession to the stand might have continued had not the prosecution agreed to stipulate that the remaining four defendants had followed the doctor's lead.
But if the defense thought a protest over property rights could overturn the confrontation that followed, the jury saw it differently. Nor did any witness refute or challenge the deputy's testimony over what happened that day.
Deputy Brooks testified he received a call around nine that morning from GMP, informing him that protesters were on the mountain blocking heavy equipment from working on the wind project. Police arrived roughly two hours later, and observed that the group was blocking cranes and big trucks.
"They were stopped on either side of where the defendants were," he testified.
Deputy Brooks testified that prior to December 5, GMP had shown him a map of the project and its property boundaries. And when confronting the protesters, he said he gave everyone the opportunity to step back behind the property line between GMP and the Nelson farm.
Of the ten protesters, three complied with a police order to step aside. Six refused and were placed under what sounded like a gentleman's arrest. The deputy said he chatted cordially with the defendants and discussed everything but the project going on around them.
"I limited myself to that," said Deputy Brooks.
The biggest problem police encountered that day, the deputy added, was finding a way to transport their prisoners off the mountain.
Police also arrested a seventh individual, Chronicle publisher Chris Braithwaite, who is challenging his arrest on grounds he was there doing his job as a reporter.
GMP's intent to keep people off the site and the property it has under lease was deliberate and thorough, according to its project manager Charles Pughe, who also oversaw the posting.
"We cleaned out several stores," he said, speaking of the no trespassing signs the company purchased. "We had to have so many of them."
Mr. Pughe testified that the land was initially posted for safety and to keep hikers out of harm's way. But he also noted that problems with people at the site began appearing sometime in October, as campers began to gather on the neighboring Nelson land.
Terms of the lease gave GMP authority to exclude or allow access to anyone the company chose, he said.
Mr. Pughe was off site the day the protesters were arrested. But under cross-examination by Ms. Michelsen, he said, he could tell from photographic evidence – including photographs taken by the arrested journalist – that the protesters were on GMP's leased property at the time of their arrest.
He estimated the face of the turbine would be about 200 feet away from the Nelson boundary line.
From the moment he took the stand it was evident that Don Nelson was not going to be a friendly witness.
He gave mostly monosyllabic responses to the prosecutor's questions, and when asked to read a document, he shrugged and said he didn't have his glasses. That brought a query from the bench
"Need your glasses, Mr. Nelson?" asked Judge Maley.
"Don't have them with me," replied Mr. Nelson.
The prosecutor decided to try a different tack by asking the witness if he had given Dr. Holland permission to go on his property.
"My land is open. People come and go," he replied. "I don't invite or not invite. We don't post it."
When Ms. Michelsen's turn came to ask the questions, Mr. Nelson said that Dr. Holland had come to see him about the boundary dispute, and that he had provided him with the coordinates that were in disagreement. According to his testimony, the dispute began years ago with the landowner who leased the land to GMP. At the time, the witness testified, there was a difference of roughly 420 feet.
For its final witness, the state put on the surveyor who recently bought out a surveying business in Derby Line that surveyed the Nelson property several years ago in hopes of resolving the boundary dispute.
Andrew Nadeau testified that the previous owner had surveyed the property in dispute in 2007, and that he had spent in excess of two weeks surveying it as well. But the surveyor who spent the longest time on the stand turned out to be the expert for the defense, Mr. Hannan.
Throughout his testimony, Mr. Hannan repeatedly testified there were fundamental mistakes in the 2007 survey – that affected the boundaries of lots leased by GMP.
He told jurors that in surveying the same ground, he found that markers had been inappropriately defined. He said there must be corroborating evidence to define a marker or monument that had been used in the past when the land was first surveyed. And such markers, he added, could be used to determine boundaries.
"When is a stone pile a stone pile or a monument?" he asked at one point.
Jurors already had heard from Mr. Nelson that surveying is not an exact science, and depends in part on the quality of surveys done in the past. Mr. Nelson noted that he and his neighbor had tried to settle survey discrepancies on their abutting lands through an agreement. Their boundary dispute was rekindled, however, when the agreement came unraveled.
Mr. Hannan testified that in surveying the land for the Nelsons, he found almost no markers on the ground that were left when the land was first surveyed in 1790. And he told the jurors that the monuments defined by the 2007 survey were inaccurate.
Closing arguments were short, lasting about five minutes apiece. Each attorney offered similar arguments to those they had made in their opening statements.
The verdict clearly took the defense and its supporters by surprise. After asking the judge to poll each juror for a verdict, Ms. Michelsen said she would be filing post trial motions. The court gave her ten days to submit them.
Prosecutor Baker said she would be requesting a restitution hearing, which means the state will try to convince the court to order the defendants to pay compensation to GMP.
The late hour verdict led the defendants to call off a press conference they had planned to hold at the conclusion of the trial.
In a press release Monday, Dr. Holland was quoted as saying:
"We are obviously disappointed with the verdict but respect the jury's efforts. This is, and will continue to be, a complex case that rejects the simple and disingenuous offerings of Green Mountain Power. We will continue to educate Vermonters on the science and math of ridgeline wind-generated electricity."
As Mr. Pughe was walking away from the courthouse, he said he hoped the verdict would make his job easier.
The remaining four defendants of the Lowell Six are: Ryan Gillard, 23, of Plainfield; Suzanna Jones, 50, of East Hardwick; Ann Morse, 48, of Craftsbury; and Eric Wallace-Senft, 46, of West Woodbury.

The 1950's and '60's were years of dramatic social change in America, led by a civil rights movement that re-defined our institutions, our thinking and how we would move forward as a country. But what role did the civil rights movement play in North Carolina? How did the events here shape change locally and nationally?

text: Korea is one of the oldest continuous civilizations in the world with over five thousand years of history. According to the original creation myth, the world we live in today is the work of the Heavenly Prince Hwanung, whose father was the King of Heaven.The Heavenly Prince asked his father to give him some land to govern, so the Father sent him down to Mount Taebaek. With him the Prince brought the Minister of Clouds, the Earl of Rain and the Chancellor of Wind. They also brought three thousand helpers.Under the shade of a sandalwood tree the Prince founded a holy city called Sinsi, the City of God. He put his Ministers in charge of three hundred and sixty areas of human culture, teaching them to grow crops and to make laws concerning what is good and what is evil.A tiger and a bear living in a nearby cave saw this city and desperately wanted to become human. Every day they came to the sandalwood tree at the center of the city to pray fervently for becoming humans.Hwanung saw their devotion and gave them instructions to remain in the cave and fast for one month, eating nothing but garlic and mugwort. The tiger was too impatient to stand the long and boring days in the cave, so he gave up and left, but Bear maintained the fast. At the end of the month she was transformed into a beautiful woman who became the mother of the Korean people.Her first son was Don-gun, the First King of the Korean people. When Don-Gun passed on the throne to his own son, he became a Mountain God. It is interesting that mountain gods are still worshipped today in Korea.Text by Steve Smith.
