... Founded in 1986, and operating thru membership, the Pikes Peak Herb
Association is an educational organization dedicating its efforts to expanding the public's awareness about herbs by providing lectures,
workshops, and study groups increasing the use of herbs and herbal products for medicinal home remedies, culinary, craft, and
horticulture. This exposure is directed to both the lay person as well
as the professional. Herbal knowledge has been passed down through the centuries and their
usage in the service of mankind has been recorded throughout history. The present herbal renaissance is devoted to restoring this lost
heritage, and the Pikes Peak Herb Association is dedicated to reclaiming
and promoting this usage to common practice. Professional interest in traditional herbal medicine is also expanding
and clinical research is a significant part of providing validation for
traditional usage of plants. Thru its networking abilities, the Pikes
Peak Herb Assn. presents reliable information to the public to help emphasize informed decision making while working cooperatively with
orthodox and holistic disciplines. The PPHA's membership is made up of
various individuals and businesses interested in and involved in some phase of
herbalism. By becoming a member you will assist in the
continuance of educational services to yourself and the public. As the
group grows, so will the usage and knowledge of herbs. If you are ever in God's country, give a call, perhaps we can have a cup
of peppermint tea while we gaze at the mountains in wonderment of our great life.

NetBeans 4.0 GC Tuning
This is my preferred command line at the moment for NetBeans 4.0:
/SOFTWARE/NETBEANS/NB40/bin/netbeans -J-XX:NewSize=16m
You know, NB 4.0 is much less memory hungry than previous versions (that's my first feeling), but comes bundled with no GC tuning at all. With a young generation size of 16m (not tuned, this is just my first hack, I'll post definitive settings later) things are much more responsive. Otherwise it GCs too frequently. Now it takes longer to GC and each GC is a minor one taking around 30ms. That's much better.

Talk about exciting reading: The Slugs of Greece
This week's book in the bag is the Polish malacologist Andrzej Wiktor's1 The Slugs of Greece, volume VIII in the Fauna Graeciae series, published in 2001. I had ordered a copy from Backhuys Publishers back in the Spring and it arrived a couple of weeks ago. The cost, including shipping, was almost 50 Euros, or $66.50.
I am primarily interested in the slugs of Turkey. However, I bought this book for two reasons. First, I suspect that Greece and Turkey share some of their slug species, especially those that live along the western Mediterranean coasts of Turkey and the adjacent Greek islands and those in the Thrace. Second, no comparable monograph on the slugs of Turkey has yet been published.
The book is, fortunately, in English and it is well illustrated. Drawings of preserved specimens and of genitalia are given for almost all the species recorded from Greece. There are distribution maps, an index of all the generic and specific names mentioned in the book and a short essay on the zoogeography of the slugs of Greece. If you are too interested in the slugs of Greece and Turkey I recommend this book.
Okay, now the shortcomings of the book. It would be good to have at least one figure in the book that labeled the individual parts of the genitalia. I am familiar enough with slug anatomy to figure out what is what, but a novice would be very confused by all the unlabeled drawings. Ideally, good color pictures of live slugs would be much more preferable to black and white drawings of preserved specimens. Understandably, however, a book with color photos would have been too costly to produce given the fact that the production of this book as it is was already delayed for about 6 years for "economic reasons". As the author indicates, this unfortunate delay in production resulted in some of the taxonomic information being obsolete when the book finally came out.
What is also obsolete is Wiktor's paleogeographic basis for the zoogeography of the Aegean area. For this, Wiktor seems to rely on a 1943 paper2. This was long before our current, and still incomplete, understanding of the paleogeography of the Aegean Sea, based on plate tectonics, was developed. Another event that Wiktor doesn't consider, but which might also have influenced the dispersal, not only of slugs, but of most other animals, was the drying of the Mediterranean Sea about 5 million years ago.
The biogeography of the Aegean Sea area offers many puzzles and challenges. Much more work needs to be done before we have a better understanding of how evolution shaped the animal and plant faunas into what they are today. Wiktor's book will be a good starting point for all future work.
1. A Polish colleague instructed me that, for those of us ignorant of Polish, a good enough phonetic spelling of this name would be "Andjey Viktor".
2. The full citation for this paper ("Jeannel 1943") along with a few other works cited in the text are not included in the list of references at the end of the book.

Sarnthein, J; Jeanmonod, D (2008). High thalamocortical theta coherence in patients with neurogenic pain. NeuroImage, 39(4):1910-1917.

View at publisher
Patients with severe and chronic neurogenic pain are known to exhibit excess EEG oscillations in the 4- to 9-Hz theta frequency band in comparison with healthy controls. The generators of these excess EEG oscillations are localized in the cortical pain matrix. Since cortex and thalamus are tightly interconnected anatomically, we asked how thalamic activity and EEG are functionally related in these patients. During the surgical intervention in ten patients with neurogenic pain, local field potentials were recorded from the posterior part of the central lateral nucleus (CL). The highest thalamocortical coherence was found in the 4- to 9-Hz theta frequency band (median 7.7 Hz). The magnitude of thalamocortical theta coherence was comparable to the magnitude of EEG coherence between scalp electrode pairs. Median thalamocortical theta coherence was 27%, reached up to 68% and was maximal with frontal midline scalp sites. The observed high thalamocortical coherence underlines the importance of the thalamus for the synchronization of scalp EEG. We discuss the pathophysiology within the framework of a dysrhythmic thalamocortical interplay, which has important consequences for the choice of therapeutic strategy in patients with chronic and severe forms of neurogenic pain.

Exposure to the pesticide DDT has been linked to Alzheimer's disease by a team of researchers working in Dallas and Atlanta. According to the researchers, study participants with Alzheimer's disease had blood levels of DDE (a metabolite of DDT) four times as high as participants without Alzheimer's. Dr. Jason Richardson, from Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, notes that although the United States banned the use of DDT in 1972, it is still used in other parts of the world, including those that supply produce to the United States. Beyond current exposure through food and travel, Dr. Richardson adds, DDT is a persistent environmental pollutant that remains in soil for years.
Recent research has pointed to a link between DDT and chronic illnesses of all types, including Parkinson's disease and obesity. Steven DeKosky and Sam Gandy, two doctors writing an opinion piece in JAMA, note that although many genes linked to Alzheimer's have been identified, they explain only a small portion of the risk for the disease. "Despite the advanced in genetics and diagnostic markers," the doctors note, "the variability in risk and the limited power of allelic risk candidates [...] have led increasingly to the conclusion that environmental factors and toxic exposures must also contribute significantly to the risk for developing late-onset Alzheimer's disease." [Emphasis added.]
This finding is significant both in the potential for its ability to explain the incidence of Alzheimer's disease and in its value as a warning regarding the pesticides in common use today. Glyphosate, commonly formulated with other chemicals and sold as Roundup, has been linked to toxic effects on human cells, genotoxic effects on fish, immune system impairment in fish, and reproductive impairment in fish. Atrazine, a pesticide commonly used on strawberries and other produce in the United States, has documented deleterious effects on human health.
Economists describe the concept of a "negative externality" this way: "A negative externality occurs when an individual or firm making a decision does not have to pay the full cost of the decision. If a good has a negative externality, then the cost to society is greater than the cost the consumer is paying for it." With the cost of dementia estimated at 109 billion dollars in 2010 and projected to double by 2040, it seems prudent for scientists to determine the factors that increase the burden of neurological disease, and for public health officials to work to ameliorate this burden or charge the appropriate parties the ever-increasing cost.

Recently had to install Ubuntu 12.04 as my previous Ubuntu which I'd used for 3 years stopped working. I'm finding 12.04 extremely frustrating, I can't seem to access anything, for example now I'm trying to get to System preferences, so I can change ibus preferences.
I checked the answers which were already given on this forum for the question How do I find "system > preferences"
However, the answers that were given just tell how to find System Settings - well, that is easy, there is a tab for System Settings on this 12.04, but amazingly System Settings does not seem to have System Preferences or most of the other things one would reasonably expect to find under Settings! It only has tabs for things like Appearance, Keyboard, etc.

STANFORD, Calif. – David Shaw, The Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football at Stanford University, never figured himself for a coach. But in retrospect, it was really a no-brainer.
His father Willie, had a 33-year coaching career, twice working at Stanford and also with the Detroit Lions, Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers and St. Louis Rams. Young son David followed him every step of the way and whether he knew it or not, was destined follow in his footsteps.
"Probably about the eighth or ninth grade, I knew," said his father. "The way his mind works, I thought he was going to be good at anything he wanted to do. He was always around football. He was going to training camps and games, and always being around not just good athletes, but all-pros and All-Americans. When you're around that long, you don't get enamored. You're out shagging balls with these guys. You're not overwhelmed."
Willie and his wife Gay often brought their three young children to practice. Sister Tawyna is two years older than David and he is two years older than Eric.
"When they're young, they're in bed when you go to work and they're in bed when you come home," Willie said. "Their mom did a fantastic job. They came to practice a lot because other than that, they wouldn't see me. My daughter thinks she is the best coach in the family.
Both of David's siblings were high-strung and had difficulty playing together. The easy-going David had no problems playing with either.
"Personality-wise, he's more like his mom," said Willie. "Part of that is he's the middle child. He was more calm."
That is evident on the sideline during games. Seldom do you see Shaw rant and rave or over-react, usually staying at least one play ahead with his play calling. That demeanor rubs off on his players.
When Shaw was a senior in high school, his family moved again, this time to the Bay Area. A standout wide receiver, a teammate's family offered to let him stay to play while the rest of the family moved, but Willie declined.
"I'm not going to leave my son behind," he said. "We're not leaving kids behind because of football. He did well. He got into Stanford and played in his high school championship game."
Shaw said many coaching families get torn apart by constant moving, and he vowed that wouldn't happen with his.
"We've been really, really blessed," said Shaw. "And that's coming from the heart. We had a chance to be together and go to different places and the family stayed really close. We worked out at it. If you don't, it's really easy to get caught in that trap."
Each Tuesday night during the season, David hosts a Family Night dinner on campus for all the coaches and their children.
David played football, basketball and ran track at Stanford and graduated with a degree in sociology in 1995. He finished his football career with 57 catches for 664 yards and five touchdowns.
"Bill Walsh said something to me one time when he (David) was playing," said Willie. "He said, 'Your son is the only player I've ever had in college or the pros, no matter what position he went in, when he came out, he could tell me what the coverage was, where the route should have broken off and where the quarterback should have thrown the ball. Players called him Coach Shaw."
Quickly deciding he wasn't ready to wear a tie to work, David started his coaching career as an assistant at Western Washington, where he worked with outside linebackers and tight ends.
"The first day on the job, I couldn't imagine doing anything else," he said. "It kind of trapped me in this profession and I haven't looked back since."
Dad's only advice: "Don't try to be like anybody else. Be yourself and that will come through. If you try to emulate somebody else, it's going to be phony. All the other stuff he learned as he went."
Shaw also taught him how to be a leader.
"Good leaders teach others how do be good leaders," he said.
Two years later, David was named a Quality Control coach with the Philadelphia Eagles. Then it was on to the Oakland Raiders and Baltimore Ravens, before David joined up with Jim Harbaugh at the University of San Diego, where he served as the wide receivers and passing game coordinator, helping the Toreros field the top offense in Division I-AA in 2006.
In 2007, David followed Harbaugh to Stanford and helped turn around the struggling program. On Jan. 11, 2013, he was named the new Cardinal head coach after Harbaugh left to guide the San Francisco 49ers.
Willie Shaw, who twice nearly became the head coach at Stanford, has been a presence at almost every practice. An anonymous donor thought so highly of him, he endowed the defensive coordinator position in his name last spring.
"I think it's really cool and good for college football," said fifth-year senior defensive end Ben Gardner of the father-son dynamic. "We call them both Coach Shaw. The elder Shaw kind of hangs in the background and just watches. When you see him at practice, you can tell he's taking in a bunch of information and he's helping not only coach Shaw but he really shadows coach (Derek) Mason and gives him a lot of help when he needs it. He's been a huge part of our team."
David and coach Mason use Willie as a sounding board on a regular basis.
"He's not here to coach, but sometimes he chomps at the bit because he gets inside," said David. "He's just a great reference that we try to take advantage of."
How are father and son alike?
"His demeanor," David said. "I kind of copy it to a certain degree. It's partly by osmosis. Just the fact that he's not always the loudest guy, but when he makes his points, he knows his stuff inside and out. Typically, when he makes a comment, he's right."
Asked what he is proudest about David, Willie answers quickly. "The kind of person he is," he said. "There are no hidden agendas with my son. What you see – it's right out there."
David loves having his father around. In a sense, it's role reversal, back to the days when Willie let David come to practice.
"I hadn't thought about that but it is very similar," he said. "For me, it's comforting, especially during special teams, when I walk around. Sometimes we just stand next to each other and talk about personnel and he tells me what he sees. He gets excited when he sees a young guy turn the corner and shows some promise. Those conversations are exciting. Just the fact that I have someone with an unbelievable amount of wealth and experience that has my back and cares about me, that will be able to tell me the truth, tell me what he sees and believes. I feel very blessed that he's able to do that at this time of his life and this time in my career."

Watch Programs
Fred Benjamin
Born: September 8, 1944
Occupation: dancer, choreographer, instructor
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Fred Benjamin began dancing at age four at Elma Lewis' School of Fine Arts in Roxbury. Benjamin danced with Talley Beatty from 1963 until 1966, when the company folded. Two years later, he started his own New York-based Fred Benjamin Dance Company, which existed, largely without funding, for 20 years. Like most African-American choreographers of the time, Benjamin's work was compared to that of Alvin Ailey, but Benjamin modeled himself after his idol, Beatty. The group movement in "Parallel Lines," the emphasis on entrances in a work such as "Our Thing," the signature sassiness of many other works -- all reflected Beatty's influence. Benjamin added ballet to Beatty's contemporary, energized style and helped popularize the genre known as ballet-jazz. He introduced many inner-city youth to dance via the Harlem Cultural Council's annual DanceMobile series, but his greatest gift may have been in teaching. At New York's Clark Center for the Performing Arts and Steps studios, Benjamin influenced many young dancers. Benjamin has also worked extensively in theatrical dance. He has taught in the Netherlands, worked in summer stock, and danced with the June Taylor Dancers. On Broadway he worked with Gower Champion and Michael Bennett and performed in such hits as "Hello, Dolly!" and "Promises, Promises."

London Colney 1, Aveley 1 The Millers' first qualifying round visit to a side playing at three levels below the Ryman Premier outfit had expected to be something of a formality.
But the Molten Spartan South Midlands League Division One hosts made Aveley fight all the way before earning a replay.
This will be staged at Aveley on Wednesday night but the Millers were only given a second bite of the cherry courtesy of Nicky Symons' scrambled 77th-minute effort.
In an uneventful first-half Aveley failed to find a way through the home defence in which keeper Alistair Hill was outstanding.
Sherwin Stanley and Ryan Doyle went close for the visitors after the interval and Hill saved well from Junior Dadson.
Colney too a shock 62nd-minute lead through David Parkinson, but Symons came to the Millers rescue and they could have won if either Martin Tuohy or substitute Piers Wixon had managed to get on the end of a teasing Stanley cross late on.

Brave New World
by Aldous Huxley
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Part.Paragraph)
Quote #10
"Lenina Crowne?" said Henry Foster, echoing the Assistant Predestinator's question as he zipped up his trousers. "Oh, she's a splendid girl. Wonderfully pneumatic. I'm surprised you haven't had her."
"I can't think how it is I haven't," said the Assistant Predestinator. "I certainly will. At the first opportunity."
From his place on the opposite side of the changing-room aisle, Bernard Marx overheard what they were saying and turned pale. (3.118-20)
This is where we start to like Bernard. He seems to be the only character who shares our reaction to this shockingly promiscuous world.
Quote #11
And round her waist she wore a silver-mounted green morocco-surrogate cartridge belt, bulging (for Lenina was not a freemartin) with the regulation supply of contraceptives. (3.185)
Wow, it's like she's wearing sex on her sleeve. Oh, wait… (Actually, we meant to say something scholarly about how Orwell's "Anti-sex sash" in 1984 is probably a nod to Huxley's Malthusian belt.)

An assistant principal is being credited with helping to subdue an armed assailant at at high school near Pittsburgh Pa, today, April 9 2014.. The alleged assailant is a student who may have had a confrontation with another student just a few hours before the incident. The school, Franklin Regional High School is in Murrysville Pa, which is about 10 minutes away from Pittsburgh.
Two knives were recovered from the youth, who's name is not yet been released. 20 students were hurt. While Murrysville Police Chief Tom Seefeld said 16 of those were not life threatening, police did say that four students remain in critical condition. various news reports, another student saw what was going on and pulled a fire alarm. That action is credited for having saved lives . When the alarm sounded, it created confusion, as the entire student body was trying to exit the school enmasse.
As the students were leaving, it made it more difficult for the assailant and it was easier for the policeman and school administrator to subdue the attacker. He suffered a minor wound. Charges and a motive have not been announced. Chances are very good that all of the injured students will make a full recovery and the assailant will be tried as an adult. he is described as a 16 year old sophomore student.
The assailant is said to have stabbed multiple people throughout the school. Chief Seefeld has called the crime scene inside as "vast".

Alice is about the concept of truth in reality. The story explores existential issues, individuality in humanity, psychological, spiritual and emotional journeys, and the place of humanity within chains of events and time. The intention of the story is to dissolve the boundaries between dream and reality; that is, nothing that is perceived is purely observation but a morphing of sense and imagination. The plot follows the life and experiences of Jensen Margot as they shape and transform him into an incestuous monster and murderer.

I'm half-surprised to see Legace in goal tonight. I wouldn't have started him but Babcock seems to insist on having a #1 goalie to fall back on.
A word we haven't heard much this year is "Datsyukian." Pavel has played well enough but it doesn't seem like we've seen a lot of his creativity this year.

Great game all around. We started out really slow going 0-4 on the powerplay but after the first, we controled much of the game. I agree with you that Datsyuk hasn't been as creative this year, which I certainly miss. Who knows he may come around.

Ben on the Bolts: The first five days
SAN DIEGO - We've barely scratched the surface of training camp, and the regular season opener is still almost six weeks away, but the Chargers appear to be off to a good start. Here are three of my initial impressions of the first five days of camp:
The difference on the outside between last year and this year is huge. A year ago, the Chargers were dealing with a devastating injury to Danario Alexander and would lose another wide receiver, Malcom Floyd, in Week 2. The cornerback situation was dreadful, as free agent Derek Cox was a disaster from the beginning. This year, the competition on the outside is fierce. Philip Rivers says it has "gone to an all-new level."
At receiver, Floyd is back, along with last year's rookie sensation Keenan Allen and Eddie Royal. Free agent Brandon Flowers seems to have brought a new swagger to a secondary that also includes first round draft pick Jason Verrett. The cornerbacks may prove to be the most improved unit on the team.
Mike McCoy knows what he's doing. If it wasn't already clear last year, it's now obvious that this is McCoy's team, 100 percent. With players already familiar with his system and terminology, McCoy has been able to pick up the pace at practice and is operating with a genuine confidence in his second training camp. He's making his players work hard, but giving them rest when necessary. So far, his ear for what his team needs seems to be pitch perfect. We'll see how much offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt is missed once the season starts, but right now, McCoy is operating without training wheels and appears to be steady as a mule.
The Chargers believe in themselves. The national media may not be picking the team to win the division or even make a repeat trip to the playoffs, but the players sense something special could be in the works. Veterans are feeding off each other and attempting to inspire younger players to greatness. Dwight Freeney didn't come back to pick up a paycheck -- but to win another Super Bowl title -- and the linebacker thinks the Chargers have the players to get it done. Sure, they'll need a lot of good health and luck on their side…but so does any other team hoping to lift the Lombardi Trophy in February.

Company: Jules Jordan Video
DVD Extras: Behind the Scenes, Cumshot Recap, Trailer(s), Widescreen
Cast: Veronica Rodriguez, Lexi Belle, Riley Reid, Mick Blue, Ramon Nomar, Veruca James, Marco Banderas, James Deen, Valentina Nappi, Manuel Ferrara
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
The best things come in small packages, and these Sweet Petite cocksluts are the absolute best in pleasing your dick!
Since joining Jules Jordan Video, William H. has in no way changed his winning formula of displaying beautiful women in his own erotic way: teases that end just at that right moment with excellent camerawork all edited nicely to show the very best of each performer's seductive sexual powers. They almost always grab the viewer right away, getting them aroused and ready for what's ahead. These ladies may be sweet and petite, but they bring plenty of bad girl qualities to another fine William H. title.
Latina spinner Veronica Rodriguez just oozes sex appeal, as does Riley Reid, who almost makes the mighty Ramon Nomar finish early a few times during their explosive encounter. Forever young Lexi Belle brings her undisputed greatness to her scene with Mick Blue, her raven hair giving her just a touch of added maturity.
The best are saved for last, with Valentina Nappi delivering a powerhouse tease that is strokeworthy enough in and of itself, but her taking on Ramon and Marco Banderas simultaneously will take viewers' breath away and leave pipes drained. Manuel Ferrara and Veruca James end this one with another ball blasting anal scene that is more than a satisfactory conclusion to another William H. winner.

1. What does the classification level mean?
A level 1 offender poses a low risk of recidivism and degree of dangerousness. The public will not be informed of a level 1 offender - information is for law enforcement only. A level 2 offender poses a moderate risk and danger. The public may ask the local police or the Board about level 2 offenders. A level 3 offender poses a high risk and danger that warrants community notification to those likely to encounter the offender. This is normally done by newspapers advertisements, cable television notices, distribution of fliers in the neighborhood, or any other method the police department feels is necessary.
2. Which victims may participate in classification?
A victim, a parent/guardian of a child victim or a guardian of a victim of a sex offense that resulted in a conviction or adjudication may submit a written victim impact statement.
3. How can I participate in classification?
To be involved in the classification process by providing a written victim impact statement, call the Victim Services Unit at 978-740-6440. A victim service coordinator will ask you for some basic information and notify you when the offender's file is about to be reviewed for classification purposes.
4. What services are available to me if I do not speak, read and/or write English?
You can call your local service provider for assistance or the SORB victim service coordinator at 978-740-6440.
5. Can I have an advocate help write my statement for me?
Certainly, you are free to access your advocate and/or any others help to complete your written victim impact statement.
6. Does the sex offender know that the victim has submitted a written impact statement in the classification?
Yes, the law requires us to provide a copy of every document in our file to the offender. Therefore, the victim impact statement is available to the offender. However prior to giving it to the offender, we DELETE all personal or identifying data from each statement. We'll also work with victims upon request to provide suggestions on how to avoid inclusion of personal or identifying data in a statement.
7. Will my information be kept confidential?
The impact statement (excluding the name, address, phone number and other personal information identifying a victim) will, by law, become part of the sex offender's file, which he is entitled to receive. The offender's file is not available to the public.
8. Who can get sex offender registry information?
Members of the public who are at least 18 years of age may, at no cost to them, request sex offender information from their local police department or the Board. The individual requesting information must be seeking it for his or her own protection, the protection of a child under 18 years of age, or for the protection of another person whom the requesting person has responsibility, care or custody.
9. How can I request information from the police?
A person may request registry information by:
Identifying a specific individual by name or personal identifying information;
Inquiring whether any sex offenders live, work, or attend an institution of higher learning on a specific street address within that city or town;
Inquiring whether any sex offenders live, work, or attend an institution of higher learning within the same city or town of a specific address, including but not limited to, the address of a residence, school, day care center, playground or other identified address; or
Inquiring in another city or town whether any sex offenders live, work, or attend an institution of higher learning within that city or town.
10. What information will the police give me?
Information available from police departments:
The name of the sex offender;
The offender's home and work address;
- The name and address of the institution of Higher Learning where the sex offender works or is enrolled as a student;
The offense(s) for which the offender was convicted or adjudicated and the date(s) of the conviction(s) or adjudication(s);
The offender's age, sex, race, height, weight, eye, and hair color; and
A photograph of the sex offender, if available.
11. What information will the Board give me?
Information is also available by mail from the Board when the requestor identifies an individual by name, date of birth, or sufficient personal identifying characteristics. The Board will provide a report that includes whether the person identified is a sex offender with an obligation to register, the offense(s) and the date(s) of the conviction(s) or adjudication(s).
12. Can I share the registry information I receive?
Yes. The law does not prohibit the secondary dissemination of registry information. However, it is a criminal offense to use registry information to commit or threaten to commit a crime or to illegally discriminate or harass an offender.
13. How long does someone stay on the Sex Offender Registry?
Pursuant to G.L. c.6, sec. 178G, a sex offender is required to register for a period of 20 years after conviction, or release from all custody, or supervision, whichever occurs last, unless the offender is subject to lifetime registration, in which case registration shall never be terminated.
However, a sex offender may apply to the SORB for relief from registration by providing proof, by clear, and convincing evidence that the offender has not committed a sex offense within 10 years and is not likely to pose a danger to the safety of others.
14. Are juvenile sex offenders subject to the requirements of the Sex Offender Registry Law?
Yes. Juvenile sex offenders are subject to registration, classification, dissemination and community notification. A juvenile sex offender is an individual under the age of 17 who has been adjudicated as a delinquent juvenile or a youthful offender for committing a sex offense.
For additional information or assistance, please call 978-740-6440 or 1-800-93Megan (936-3426).

If you're a lover of gorgeous Italian vistas and hotels; an aficionado of exquisite food and wine; and especially, fans of the shenanigans of stars Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, then "The Trip to Italy" is for you. A sequel of sorts to "The Trip," where the two somewhat fictionalized versions of Coogan and Brydon took a driving tour of Northern England reporting on food and hotel stays, "The Trip to Italy" finds them asked again by "The Observer" to take a similar excursion through Italy. Under the deft hand of writer/director Michael Winterbottom, this Italian tour is a kick with the right mix of scenery and Coogan/Brydon ingredients, as well as mouth-watering food cinematography by James Clarke ("Master Chef").
Opening with Coogan in a Los Angeles flat on the phone with his mate, Brydon, Coogan tells his friend that he has just finished a television series and is on hiatus. Perfect timing, as Brydon entices Coogan to come and take a paid tour of Italy, following the haunts of the great Romantic poets Byron and Shelley, via reporting on great food and lodging.
Cut to Coogan driving a Mini Cooper through the Italian countryside, while Brydon offers up navigation and comedic insights. It's not long before the first scrumptious meal in Piemonte at Trattoria Della Posta, complemented by both men's spot-on comedic impersonations.
Those celebrities up for ribbing are: Michael Caine, Jude Law, "Batman's" Christian Bale and Tom Hardy, Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Michael Buble, various James Bonds, among others. Coogan and Brydon also poke fun at themselves as well as each other as they travel through Liguria, Tuscany, Rome, Amalfi and Capri.
But it's not only good food and hijinks; the film also takes a somewhat intimate look at relationship challenges for these two men. Coogan is trying to lay off extra-curricular activities and reconnect with his family, including his teen son, Joe (Timothy Leach), while married, new father Brydon, wants to let loose, and casually (or not so casually) has a fling with a yacht's tour guide, Lucy (Rosie Fellner).
As the men cavort through Italy, it's Coogan's personal assistant, Emma (Claire Keelan) who gives the film grounding through her insights into her favorite film, "Roman Holiday." Who knows what the future will bring to these travelers from their own Roman holiday, but it's nice to take a ride and sing along to their oft played CD of Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill."
(However, as a reviewer, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that if you're not fan of the two actor/comedians, then you might want to take a film detour and book your own Italian trip.)
"The Trip to Italy" is 107 minutes, Not Rated and opens August 15 in Los Angeles at the Landmark Theatre.
