Del Piero and Marchisio : a pair of protagonists


All those who watched the match against Siena, witnessed the great match played by the captain and the youngster. Both players seemed to be on the same wavelength throughout crowned by two goals by the captain and another by the young midfielder.

The captain seemed to be very happy with the outcome of the match and positive about the future, even though rather disappointed with the outcome of the season in general: «It was a god match, we played well, we ran, we had many attempts, we even missed a few chances, but it was a great match. We were more concentrated then in the past few weeks. We had the right motivation and mentality and we have a coach who makes us see things positively. I would have preferred having ended the season in a different manner but we will work harder next year. Now we must try to end this season in the second place».

Asked how it feels to have Ciro Ferrara as coach after all the matches played together on the field: «As a player he was great. As a coach he just played one match but I really hope he will have many more sitting on the bench».

Claudio Marchisio came back from a series of injuries to immediately leave his impact in a crucial match for the final outcome of the season: «I am happy to have come back after a month of injuries. I feared cramps but I am glad to have healed well thanks to the staff. The team played well and we managed to put a large weight on the match from the first half».

The midfielder spoke of the changes in the last week: «We worked differently this week. It is normal with a change of coach. Today we felt we could cope with the heat. I am happy with the goal and I would like to thanks Alex for the pass. I try to help out even in the attack because that’s what all good players do and today I managed to do so well».www.juventus.com

Criminal and Civil Law are different

Very few civil cases, with the possible exception of some of the big headliners recently, garner much interest simply because they are not as juicy as a criminal case. Big criminal cases often have a following of "groupies" that will show up in droves at a courtroom so they may watch the drama unfold.

While you might think the cases aren't that different, in actuality, they are quite diverse. Verdicts and rulings are areas in which you will see a significant difference. Defendants in criminal trials have a lot of things at stake, not the least of which may be their freedom. Criminal trials may also result in some serious types of punishment.

With crimes there are two categories, the felonies (with severe punishments) and the misdemeanors (less severe punishments.) For instance, first-degree murder may receive life without parole or death, depending on which state the crime was committed, etc. On the other hand, generally speaking, misdemeanor charges may result in fines, probation, community service, and/or jail time, etc.

In civil cases, the question isn't so much culpability, but liability. These cases deal mostly with issues involving personal injury, contract disputes, real estate squabbles, and divorces. The plaintiff sues the defendant to complain of a wrong that was done to them.

In a civil case, the plaintiff is responsible to build a case to show a civil wrong. Getting a verdict in a civil case doesn't require meeting the same high standards as criminal cases. In civil cases, all the plaintiff has to do is convince the jury it was reasonably possible the defendant was responsible for the complaint. The burden then shifts to the defendant to prove they are innocent.

This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the differences between civil and criminal proceedings, but if you wish to know more, feel free to research it online.Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Daniel_Wannamaker

Ferrara : I am already thinking of Lazio

After ten days of work on the field with the first team, Ciro Ferrara continues to be in the spot light with the most recent bulbs being those of the Juventus channel studios. The new Juventus coach was the special guest during the last episode of the season of Filo Diretto.

It was another occasion to receive the embraces of –even if only virtually- of the Juventus supporters after the victory against Siena: «The joy following the victory against Siena was soon forgotten and we are already thinking of the next match, on Sunday against Lazio».

Ferrara continues to work hard with the group in order to complete the job and confirm the second place in the championship, before ending the season and thinking of the future. «I don’t know what will happen after. I confirm all I have said after the first press conference. I am at the disposal of the club whatever the decision may be. Sunday is Nedved’s last match? To say the truth we have not yet understood whether Pavel will retire. If he does it will be a sad thing to see a champion like him leaving football just like it was said to see the end of the career of Paolo Maldini. They are both examples to follow for what they did both on the field and off it».

While at Juventus thoughts are shifted to the match against Lazio, everybody is still speaking of the Champions League final played yesterday with the victory of Guardiola’s Barcellona over Manchester United. Ferrara commented on the match and congratulated his colleague: «Barcellona deserved to win even though it was not a great game. I am very happy for Guardiola who I think established a record by winning three competitions in his first year as coach. It is a sign which shows that even young coaches can do well»juventus.com

What Did Judas Betray ?

Question: What did Judas betray?
Answer: Why do you ask? Don’t you know? Jesus Christ for thirty pieces of silver.

That much we know well. This is the immediate and thoughtless answer, given blindly. We have surely not asked why he perpetrated the betrayal, even though this is also a very important question. The thirty pieces of silver is a very naive answer that satisfies the believers that have suffered from the brainwashing of faith since childhood. Certainly the four gospels, plenty of hymnography, and traditions justify the betrayal by having put into various passages the thirty pieces of silver. That is, Judas did it because of his hunger for money, to the point that he got so sick by it as to blur his mind and betray his divine teacher. This justification does not convince any unbiased researcher. The thirty pieces of silver are a very cheap excuse, taken from the Hebrew Old Testament, because according to the godly given law of Moses an Israelite could buy or sell a slave with thirty pieces of silver coins (shekels). The gospels and the divines took care of finding more god-inspired justifications.

  • 1. The betrayal happened in order to fulfill pertinent prophesies of the Hebrew Old Testament. Now, what prophesies? You figure them out and check if they refer to these incidents.
    2. The god Yahveh had a divine plan for the salvation of the human race from his full-of-love curse against the original forefathers. Judas and his betrayal was a part of this divine plan. (How nice! Then the Christians dare to claim the doctrine of free will!)
    3. That is how the god Yahveh wanted the divine drama to be played in the theater of salvation, etc.


Our question here is set as follows. On the basis of the four canonical gospels what did Judas’ betrayal consist of? That is, what were the ingredients of the betrayal? First of all, what did Judas betray Jesus as? As a criminal, as a brigand, as a rebel, as what? We ask for an explicit and effortless answer that is implied from the expositions and all the elements that the four canonical god-inspired gospels include. We do not look for a catalog of guesses with all those “maybe this, but not that” or all various hypotheses with “this may have happened in this way, but not in that” etc. We have enjoyed too many of these guesses and hypotheses, which are provided by the inspired theologians when they reach an impasse. I can cook up as many things like these as you like myself. I repeat that we want the explicit and complete answer that is found in the four canonical gospels of the Holy OrthodoxCatholic Church. To be clearer, allow me to explain what I mean. When someone betrays a fellow man, for whichever reasons, to the authorities or the secret services of a state, government, dictatorship, etc. the betrayal contains the following elements:


  • 1. The informer betrays that person as something. As an anarchists, criminal, thief, rebel, communist, fascist, etc.
    2. The informer tries to depict his image as accurately as possible. If possible he provides his photograph. His description must make it possible that the suspected person is recognized and arrested at the first opportunity.
    3. If the accused person hides himself, the informer tells the authorities where he is staying, what times he goes where and all he knows about the whereabouts of this wanted person so that they can wait for him and arrest him.
    4. The informer betrays the secret plans, fuzzy goals, subversive intensions, etc. of the wanted person.
    5. The informer says whatever he knows about how the other person thinks, acts, works, recruits others, etc.
    6. (You can probably find more elements of this kind that apply here.)

Such an answer that contains any of the above elements does not exist in the gospels. As far as I know, there is no theological or historical answer either. On the contrary, the gospels provide too many elements that categorically overturn the need of any of the above pieces of information. Jesus was with the people and the Jewish authorities every day. He had no secrets. In other words this betrayal was totally unnecessary to the Jews or to the Romans. Everybody knew him well and could find him very easily. He taught and preached without secrets. Every day he was quarreling with the priests, the scribes, the Pharisees and the merchants in the temple. He taught everywhere and wrought miracles and wonders. The first three gospels, the synoptics, state that when the Jewish authorities with the priests were about to arrest Jesus he felt strangely and protested that “well, every day I was with you teaching in the Temple and you did not spread your arms on me to arrest me, and now you have come with sticks and knives to arrest me as a thief in the middle of the night…” John’s gospel tells us that Jesus said to the Jewish authorities “I have always spoken openly and in secret I have said nothing…” Mark is also conveying the two funny and inconsequent lines of the episode of the naked youth that jumped out in the darkness of the night… It is very curious what a naked young man wanted that time of the night by endangering himself with the priests and 100 Roman spear-bearers. Matthew, who is considered more factual, says nothing about the composition of Judas’ betrayal. So, four wrote about it, two of whom (Matthew and John) were from the twelve and therefore eye witnesses, and still they were not enough or able to give us these pieces of information that a natural, sincere and effortless exposition of the events of such a case demands. That is, as what did Judas betray Jesus? As a thief, as a blasphemer, as a rebel, as what? Very strange things indeed, for in Judas’ case, as portrayed in the gospels, the betrayal is sudden catastrophic and without any known and concrete motive.

So we repeat our question: On the basis of the four canonical gospels what did Judas betray Jesus as and what did his betrayal consist of? We await a clear answer… from the servants of the Judeo-Christian disastrous Religion. We will be greatly indebted if we receive a satisfactory one.
Along with this very important question, the next basic and serious questions on various pertinent topics arise:


1. Why a destitute group of Galilean beggars found a Jew, from the other part of the country, and appointed him to be the treasurer of their company and hold the moneybox? (Their Lord’s orders were not to keep any money on them and not to think about tomorrow; only to get the necessary food and lodging of the day, as offered to them.)
2. In contradiction, let us assume for a moment that this group of pauper servants of the invalid and the miserable people needed someone to manage their bursar affairs. Then, why did they find a stranger from a distant side of the country? Did not the whole of Galilee have an accountant? Matthew as a tax collector publican would have been the most appropriate one.
3. Why did Jesus accept Judas into his ranks?
4. Why such a petty sum of thirty pieces of silver was enough to make him perpetrate such a betrayal against his so benevolent, holy and miracle-worker teacher?
5. What better thing did he think that he would achieve with his betrayal?
6. Why the other eleven disciples did not arrest him as soon as Jesus openly and explicitly revealed him during the Last Supper.
7. Why was Judas necessary to identify, by kissing, a very well known man, whose frequent places were known to anyone?
8. Why they did not bring him to the trial as a witness, even by force, but instead they brought false witnesses?
9. For what reason did he repent? Just because of remorse of conscience?
10. Why was his repentance manifested by the useless act of suicide, by hanging himself according to Matthew? According to Luke, in the book of Acts, the end of Judas occurred by a totally different way. How is it possible to have such a glaring contradiction between Matthew and Luke? What is the meaning of this inspired contradiction?
11. Why instead of suicide, didn’t he try to do whatever was possible to him to even desperately save his teacher in those ultimate moments?
12. Finally for what reason did Judas Betray his Lord? Because of the waste of the expensive perfume in Bethany; because of the thirty pieces of silver; because of both; because he went crazy; because Satan entered him; to make the Old Testament scriptures turn true; to play the predestined role in Yahveh’s theater of salvation; because of what reason anyway?


It seems most likely that various unknown authors among whom are the authors of the gospels got involved into a myth making to purposely verify the so-called prophesies or they wrote reflections of other stories and myths. Therefore they had to improvise in order to make up the shape and form of Judas that would serve their fairy-tales, which in turn they push unto the illiterate, miserable and naïve mobs.

However, none of these simple objections, here put in the form of questions for any objective scholar, is allowed to enter the divine drama of the gospels. The gospel-narrations demand the sudden emergence of a very strong shock together with a tragic arousal of sentimentality. In no way do they allow any room for logic, rationalism and the deductive method of cause and effect.
We await answers to these basic questions… from the servants of the Christian scourge.We will feel indebted if we ever receive them.


With the opportunity of all the above questions let us pose a few more for which we seek answers based again on and proven by references from the four canonical gospels and the Christian history.
1. Who finally condemned Jesus? That is, who pronounced and announced the final guilty verdict? Is there any clear answer in the god-inspired gospels?
o The Jewish court council, Sanhedrin, consisted of 71 members?
o Kaifas?
o Annas?
o Pilate?
o Herod Antipas?
o The mob?
o All of the above?
o None of the above?
o Someone else?
o Finally who?


2. What was the formal reason, on account of which Jesus was condemned to ultimate punishment by the manner of the awful Roman crucifixion? What was his crime that deserved such a capital punishment? What did the secretary (-ies) of the court, that issued this awful guilty verdict and sentence to death, write down in the official minutes? Because:

o He called himself Son of God (Yahveh)?
o He did not keep the Law of Moses?
o He blasphemed God (Yahveh) by calling himself his son and other stuff like that?
o He resurrected Lazarus? (Please note, that Lazarus’ resurrection is exposed only in the gospel according to John. Matthew and Peter, even though they were eyewitnesses did not consider it that important as to refer to it. Does this say something to anyone of you?)
o He lied by claiming that he could demolish and erect anew the temple of Solomon within three days, by hands or without hands, or by divine powers that he only possessed?
o He violently expelled the merchants from the temple?
o He very frequently quarreled with the high Priests, the Scribes and Pharisees and launched at them uninhibited tirades?
o He was envied and hated by the Jewish leaders for many reasons?
o His polemics against Herod Antipas, the tetrarch king of Galilee?
o He turned against the Roman authority
o He pushed the people to pay or not to pay taxes to the Romans?
o He named himself king of Israel or king of the Jews?
o He did not respect Caesar?
o What was the reason from all the above reasons and maybe more not listed here, anyway?


3. Who arrested Jesus?
o The Jews with their own police force?
o The Romans with a cohort of soldiers?
o The mob with sticks and knives?
o The Gentiles?
o All together?
o Some of the above?


4. Who crucified Jesus?
o The Jews?
o The Romans?
o The Gentiles?
o All together?
o Some of the above?


5. In how many ways does the Gospel according to Mark end, in the manuscripts and codices that have reached us since the year 325 C.E.? Why are there five or six such different ways? What has happened with the godly inspiration? Why the originals of the Gospels (referred back to 185 C.E. by the bishop of Lyon Irenaeus) have vanished from the face of earth?
Anybody able to answer these questions, or objections if he or she likes, clearly and precisely along with the substantiating elements of his or her answers, is kindly requested to publish them all worldwide. He or she will perpetrate an immense benefaction not just to us (the writer and those who agree with him), but also to the whole wretched humanity and civilization. We thank him or her from this moment.by : Ioannis Rossou.source : www.atheistfoundation.org.au/judas.

Behavioral Targeting Interest Based Advertising and The Trademark Infringement Laws


The day of behavioral targeting is upon us. In 2005 the Second Circuit, Federal Court of Appeals found that use of trademarks in Internet advertising is not "use in commerce" for purposes of the Lanham Act; thereby upholding the use of trademarks to trigger the competitive use of pop-up ads. This week I received a notice from Google advising me to update my privacy policy: "Interest-based advertising will allow advertisers to show ads based on a user's previous interactions with them, such as visits to advertiser website and also to reach users based on their interests (e.g. "sports enthusiast"). To develop interest categories, we will recognize the types of web pages users visit throughout the Google content network.

As an example, if they visit a number of sports pages, we will add them to the 'sports enthusiast' interest category." The one time problem, now cleared by this court, was that the process of data collection had the potential of violating the trademark laws.

The "competitors" (competing advertisers (through Google in this example)) use information collected concerning our web-browsing behavior and then select the ads to display on our screen. This ability offers an advantage to the savvy marketer. But, are we, the computer user (c-user), being improperly influenced? Do we really want to be led around by someone else's algorithm? Let's say you look up McDonald's hamburgers and you get a pop-up for Angus. Hopefully, you get the idea.

So, what basically happens is that a software package on one window of your computer gathers your web surfing data, crunches it, matches it with their database of similar but competing goods and services, and then gives you a pop-up ad on another window for the competitor of the guy who you actually found on the web.

The details are in the case but, if you're curious, The Lanham Act, 15 USC section 1125 , provides: "(a) Civil action (1) Any person who, on or in connection with any goods or services, or any container for goods, uses in commerce any word, term, name, symbol, or device, or any combination thereof, or any false designation of origin, false or misleading description of fact, or false or misleading representation of fact, which - (A) is likely to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive as to the affiliation, connection, or association of such person with another person, or as to the origin, sponsorship, or approval of his or her goods, services, or commercial activities by another person, or (B) in commercial advertising or promotion, misrepresents the nature, characteristics, qualities, or geographic origin of his or her or another person's goods, services, or commercial activities, shall be liable in a civil action by any person who believes that he or she is or is likely to be damaged by such act."

The Lanham Act further defines "use in commerce," as follows: "For purposes of this Chapter, a mark shall be deemed to be in use in commerce - (1) on goods when - (A) it is placed in any manner on the goods or their containers or the displays associated therewith or on the tags or labels affixed thereto, or if the nature of the goods makes such placement impracticable, then on documents associated with the goods or their sale, and (B) the goods are sold or transported in commerce, and (2) on services when it is used or displayed in the sale or advertising of services and the services are rendered in commerce. . . ." 15 U.S.C. section 1127 In deciding for the defendants (pop-up guys), one court observed "A company's internal utilization of a trademark in a way that does not communicate it to the public is analogous to a individual's private thoughts about a trademark." This apparently means that so long as the defendant keeps the plaintiff's information hidden from view ("private thoughts"), it can be used by the defendant however creatively he sees fit. This is so even though the free riding competition will "profit from the goodwill and reputation in Plaintiff's website that led the user to access Plaintiff's website in the first place."

Ironically, it appears that this caselaw has also implicated our (c- user's) interests by ushering in a crowd of software applications that will analyze our own "private thoughts" in order to target advertising. For a recent and interactive application of an eerily similar technology check out any of the Google account services like Gmail, AdSense, AdWords, Google Reader, Google Calendar, Webmaster Central or Google Analytics and you may notice their "search wiki" digesting your every search and serving it up to the highest bidder. This of course, requires the c-user's consent ... Or does it? I still can't figure out how to opt out and therefore, I am concerned about the impact this technology may have. It will be interesting to see if the legislature will step in and try to regulate the bothersome activity of pop-ups and help protect us from ourselves. Beware: "THERE'S A CODE IN EVERY HAPPY MEAL!"

Between Husain and Jesus


Prophet Jesus is the son of virgin Mary.She gave birth to him by miracle of Allah Almighty swt without anything or anyone touching her.Any human or angel did not touch her.in fact, Allah swt the all powerful created an embryo in her womb just as he creates living every moment.he honored this creature with his message, accorded him with the title of “spirit of Allah”, and made him one of the prophets of determination who were sent with universal messages.Not withstanding his greatness and augustness, he did not escape the oppression and envy of the jews who haunted him and provoked the rulers against him until they were abler to capture him and kill his disciples and followers.

It was not any different for Imam Husain the son of Lady Fatimah as.He was great man.Prophet Muhammad saw gave him and his older brother Imam Hasan the good hidings of being the “Masters of the youth heaven”.Imam Husain was a dignified, learned, august, generous, fourbearing, pious and a worshipping master, who knew nothing but the truth and feared no one but Allah almighty.

This great leader, along with a few of his family and companions, rervolted against the tyrant and the son of a tyrant, Yazid ibn Muawiya, who was a dissolute alcoholic ruler with no respect whatsoever to human values of human life.Imam Husain as revolted against this tyrant in the attempt to reform the social environment and save the Islamic nation from the claws of this ruler who in his will and whims was like the jews against prophet Jesus.Yazid sent tens of thousand of troops to murder Imam Husain as.The troops killed Imam HUsain , his family and companions, after besieging them in a barren land (karbala) until they run out of water and food and exhausted by thirst and hunger.They cut their heads off, mutilated their bodies, carried their heads on spear tops and exhibited them in many cities.They did not bury the headless bodies but instead ran over them with their horses.

This tragedy likens that of prophet Jesus.It is reported in many holy traditions of the progeny of prophet Muhammad saw that there had not been any child born in six months except for Jesus and Husain.Imam sadiq as said : “No one was ever before born in six months except Issa bin Mary and Husain bin Ali as”.
Some reports considered that as one of their miracles and honors.Some reports say,”No child born in six months had survived except for Hussain and Jesus”.Other reports say,”Jesus was born where Imam Husain was martyred”.(Fadel al Murati)

5 Assets a Good DUI Lawyer Must Have

If you are looking for a DUI defense lawyer, you should get someone whom you can trust. There is no point in getting the services of a legal counsel whom you are not comfortable working with. The first requisite for an effective defense of a case is getting the right Nevada DUI lawyer.

There are 5 essential rules that you must follow when you are considering the Nevada DUI attorney who will handle your challenging case. These are relevant rules that should be applied in all DUI cases irregardless of the circumstances and the state where you are facing the DUI charges. The 5-set guideline works under the assumption that you will be dealing with a lawyer with unquestionable integrity and trustworthiness.

A good DUI lawyer brings along good credentials backed by good educational background and long experience in the practice of law, most specifically in criminal cases. You must have the eye in differentiating the counselors as being excellent to mediocre legal experts. You don't want to end up getting the services of a counselor whose performance records is littered with miscues and misjudgments. When faced with this type of charge, a DWI and other similar misdemeanors, it is important that you apply the following rules when assessing your chances with the professional you are planning to hire.

Rule #1 - Your lawyer must be thorough in getting all pertinent information about your background and present personal circumstances. A defense lawyer will be able to use these information and circumstances to gain sympathy from the court and the prosecutor.

Rule #2 - Your defense counselor must be able to show genuine concern about your situation in words and in deed. Your legal counsel must be able to convince you that both of you share a common sentiment regarding the case at hand. It would be disastrous if you get the service of an attorney who may have other things in mind than to give you the appropriate legal representation and defense.

Rule #3 - Your defense expert must demonstrate genuine effort in getting you free from serious charges. He must be able to use timely legal maneuvers to get the best concessions in your favor. It would be good for your cause, if your court representative is able to get the formalities covered as quickly as possible.

Rule #4 - Your defense counselor must be able to clearly see the repercussions of a DUI record on your personal and professional credibility. A criminal record can lead to serious consequences that will include suspension of licenses and even the loss of your job. A qualified counselor should be able to weigh the stakes involved when handling your defense. As much as possible, your legal counsel must have the keen eye in using all legal remedies to give you the best shot at the defense of your case. This may involve possible plea bargaining to mitigate the impact of a DUI record in your personal and professional integrity.

Rule #5 - Your lawyer must commit to confidentiality in all dealings related to the case. As dictated by professional ethics, your legal counsel must assure that all information shared with him shall be held in strict confidentiality and under any circumstance, will not be divulged to a third party.

What Shows Up on a Criminal Background Check - Sample Background Reports

What to expect from online criminal records

There are plenty of online web sites that offer you the chance to do criminal background checks but it's often difficult to work out what it is that you will actually get from the reports without first joining the site. Wouldn't it be good if you could see some sample reports from the web site before you signed up?

Online background checks aren't perfect. They don't guarantee that the information in their database is correct nor can you reasonably expect that every single piece of information about every individual is available.

The amount of information made available varies from state to state and authority to authority but on the whole, based on my experience, there is a good chance that you will be able to find some information on the person that you are checking out. I've managed to find out a lot of information about most of the people I've searched for. Some of it was very interesting I can tell you.

What does a criminal background check consist of

When you search for background about someone online you get a lot more than just their criminal record. Even if they don't have a criminal history you may find out a lot of other interesting things about them. Here is a list of some of the things that you might be able to find:

Name and address, address history, email addresses, relatives and associates, neighbors, arrest warrants, civil filings, property ownership, state criminal records check, neighborhood check.

Using sample background check reports to find out what to expect

You can get a better idea of what is included in a criminal background check by looking at sample reports from the public records database web site that you are thinking of using. Sample reports don't give you any detail about real people but they can help you to understand the kind of information you may be able to find out.

Sample reports aren't easy to find but I've made it easy for you to look at some examples before you join a background check web site. I've secretly copied some of the sample reports from the public records site that I've been using recently. You can examine them here: Criminal Background Checks sample reports.

When you've had a good look at the reports you can get a real criminal background check done on someone either by joining the site where the samples came from or by using one of the other excellent services found at http://howdo-i.com All the sites mentioned come with very good guarantees so don't worry about trying them out because it's risk free for you.

Understanding Megan's Law - Sex Offender Registration and Internet Database

California has seen many changes in sex crime laws and sex offender registration over the past decade. Those facing sex crime charges in California are subject to more penalties and pressures above and beyond a courtroom trial, prison time, or fines. Depending on the case and the consequences of the sex crime conviction, an individual may be required by Megan's Law to register as a sex offender. California's Megan's Law was enacted in 1996 to allow local law enforcement agencies to inform the public about sex offender registrants found to be posing a threat to the public. As of recent years, the public has access to the location, names, and photographs of "certain" sex offenders in their community on the Internet.

Such personal and public disclosure is determined by the type of sex crime a person was required to register under. Not every registered sex offender is required to be on this Internet website. In fact, about twenty-five percent of registered sex offenders are excluded from public disclosure by law. Based on the sex crime, the information required to be disclosed on the website falls into the categories of zip code, conditional home address, and home address.

Internet Sex Offender Regulations

It is important to note that Megan's Law is meant to protect families and children - not as an additional means to punish the sex offender. Nevertheless, it can be a devastating experience for a person to face the shame and embarrassment that comes along with registering as a sex offender and having personal information about them on the Internet, especially after fulfilling the legal prison sentence, fine, or any other appointed punishment.

In addition, it is against the law to misuse the available offender information on the Internet to harass or commit any crime against the offender. In fact, if someone uses the data on the website to commit a felony against the offender, a prison term of at least five years can ensue. If a misdemeanor is committed against the offender by using the website's information, fines from $10,000 up to $50,000 can result. Those who are required to register as a sex offender on the Internet face fines up to $1000, imprisonment in a county jail up to six months, or both, if they fail to enter their information on the website (Pen. Code, § 290.46, (h)(2).

Standards for Exclusion from the Internet Website

Determining if a sex offender registrant qualifies for exclusion from the Internet website is up to the Sex Offender Tracking Program. You can apply for exclusion by completing and submitting a form to the California Department of Justice. Registered sex offenders who receive exclusion from the website must still register as sex offenders. That is why if you have been arrested for a sex crime in California, you need a top California criminal defense attorney who can help you appeal your sentence, prevent sex crime registration, or reduce your conviction from a felony to a misdemeanor.

Registrants whose sex offenses are for the following offenses may apply for exclusion:

Registrants whose sex offenses are for the following offenses may apply for exclusion:

• Any offense which did not involve penetration or oral copulation in which the victim was a child, sibling of the offender, grandchild, stepchild, and for which the offender successfully completed or is successfully completing probation

• Sexually battery by restraint (Penal Code § 243.4, (a))

• Misdemeanor child molestation (Penal Code § 647.6, or former section 647a)

If you want to ensure that your efforts to remove your information from the sex offender website do not go to waste, you need a knowledgeable and skilled California criminal defense attorney. For over 30 years, the experienced California criminal defense attorneys at Wallin & Klarich have been helping individuals charged with sex crimes get their life back and defend their pride.

Indonesia From Wikipedia


The Republic of Indonesia (pronounced (Indonesian: Republik Indonesia), is a transcontinental country in Southeast Asia and Oceania. Indonesia comprises 17,508 islands, and with an estimated population of around 237 million people, it is the world's fourth most populous country, and has the largest Muslim population in the world.Indonesia is a republic, with an elected legislature and president. The nation's capital city is Jakarta. The country shares land borders with Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Malaysia. Other neighboring countries include Singapore, Philippines, Australia, and the Indian territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

The Indonesian archipelago has been an important trade region since at least the seventh century, when the Srivijaya Kingdom traded with China and India. Local rulers gradually adopted Indian cultural, religious and political models from the early centuries CE, and Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms flourished. Indonesian history has been influenced by foreign powers drawn to its natural resources. Muslim traders brought Islam, and European powers fought one another to monopolize trade in the Spice Islands of Maluku during the Age of Discovery. Following three and a half centuries of Dutch colonialism, Indonesia secured its independence after World War II. Indonesia's history has since been turbulent, with challenges posed by natural disasters, corruption, separatism, a democratization process, and periods of rapid economic change.

Across its many islands, Indonesia consists of distinct ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups. The Javanese are the largest and most politically dominant ethnic group. Indonesia has developed a shared identity defined by a national language, ethnic diversity, religious pluralism within a majority Muslim population, and a history of colonialism and rebellion against it. Indonesia's national motto, "Bhinneka tunggal ika" ("Unity in Diversity" literally, "many, yet one"), articulates the diversity that shapes the country. However, sectarian tensions and separatism have led to violent confrontations that have undermined political and economic stability. Despite its large population and densely populated regions, Indonesia has vast areas of wilderness that support the world's second highest level of biodiversity. The country is richly endowed with natural resources, yet poverty is a defining feature of contemporary Indonesia.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia)
