Awesome guys! Hope I win either one so I can finally start using a smartwatch.
Google threw down at today's I/O conference, announcing all kinds of fun goodies like Android Auto, Android TV and of course the new Samsung Gear Live and LG G Watch. Running the new Android Wear platform, both devices are set to be available via the Google Play Store later today.
We didn't get to see the much-anticipated Moto 360 in action, but we still get two (presumably) awesome Android Wear devices to play around with. The specs are pretty solid on both devices, so it will just come down to how well they actually work in the real world.
The gesture-based Android Wear will provide notifications that are most important to you at the current time. You can see where you parked your car, when your package will be delivered or if your flight is on time. You can use voice commands to search, and customize to your liking with various different watch faces.
Samsung and LG are first out of the gate with their Android Wear offerings, but there are certainly many more to come over the next few months. So the only question is, which is your favorite?
If you want to get your hands on a brand new G Watch or Gear Live — here's your ticket. We're giving away one Android Wear device of your choice. All you need to do to win is leave a single comment on this post telling us which watch you want and what your favorite Android Wear feature is. We'll run this one up through July 4th, so you have a bit of extra time to think things over.
Awesome guys! Hope I win either one so I can finally start using a smartwatch.
I would like the LG G Watch.., the various notification abilities and voice capibilities offered by Google Wear for this smartwatch.
Would love the lg g watch as i really need for use for fitness apps and work emails and hangout chat a I work from home a ton and give more freedom to not be confined to my desk
Would love the G watch. Loving the notifications and "ok google" features
I would love a G watch because android wear for one is beautiful and is just a piece of art to look at and two I need something to motivate me to exercise more. ANDROID WEAR IS AMAZING

Hope I win! Notifications, those are the whole reason I enjoy smart watches.
LG G watch all the way! I think the best feature and the bread and butter of smart watches are notifications.
Lg G watch!
Definitely Samsung gear! Having a water proof watch while washing my hands would be incredibly helpful! And I want to start running more so a heart rate monitor would be just the thing!
Android Wear is finally here!

I want the lg g watch. I'm excited to see how the cards will really work and how effective it is
Posted via Connectedly App
I have been waiting for these watches for over a year. I signed up JUST so I could comment top win!
The LG G Watch. Mix between music control/receiving notifications while my phone is in my backpack while on the go is awesome!
Smart watches don't seem to be all that well supported. I hope to develop a wide variety of software for the various android wear devices.
Posted via Connectedly App
I think I'd take the Samsung for the Heart rate feature.
G WATCH! Google Now!
Samsung Gear Live, and notifications by far, not having to open my phone constantly would be awesome!
I think out of the 2 I'd probably take the G Watch
Awsome :)
I would want the lg G , I think the best feature of android wear is being able to speak to the watch and complete tasks rather than another notification device
Posted via Connectedly App
Out of those two I'm thinking the LG, the 360 is still the one I'm holding out for...... But I'll take the LG for free! Feature in most looking forward to is purely notifications at a glance!
Posted via Connectedly App
I'm interested in the LG G Watch specs wise. Looks like I can also swap out the bands, so that's a huge plus for me.
Lg g watch; voice controls.
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
There, I want one, they both look pretty cool but I like the G-Watch a bit better I think (can't be sure with just pictures)
I really like the fast notification access rather than looking at my phone, I know it's the very basic functionality but I think it's still the best thing about wearables
I would like the LG G Watch, and my favorite feature of Android Wear is the nearly seamless integration with the phone for all notifications.
I'm digging the application integration of the android wear watches. The lyft and pizza ordering example was pretty amazing if you ask me. I'd have to go for the Samsung watch if I had a pick.
I want the g watch. Want it as a perfect partner for my nexus 5 lol.
Would it be my first android smart watch :)
The LG G looks nice. More like a real watch than the Samsung...
I'm a cancer researcher, so it would be great to reply to texts/chats while doing an experiment where you can't/shouldn't touch your phone with gloved hands (you know, like 5 hours of my work day). Unfortunately, grad school doesn't pay well enough to get one of these AND pay rent, so I guess I'll keep drooling over the pictures...
Oh man, you guys are awesome. I'd love to win a G Watch!
Gotta go with the G Watch, mainly to go with my LGOG. Feature? Well, not sure, I've never used Wear before :P
Come on luck
Posted via Connectedly App
I would love to win the gear live please ... want to get into shape and it would be the perfect partner
I am thinking the Samsung watch and I will use it mostly to read and reply to text and emails
Posted via Connectedly App
I'll take that Samsung Gear Live watch. Or any watch.
hard decision but I'm going with the Samsung please!!
LG G Watch has my vote and I can't wait to see how Google Now works on a watch platform!
Posted via My Nexus 5 that sorely needs a Moto 360.
LG G Watch.
Favorite feature is getting notifications and acting on them without having to touch the phone.
G Watch. With Tasker it can be the ultimate remote!
I'll go for a gear live.
Posted via Connectedly App
Only if it works with my Windows Phone!
The LG G Watch is my choice. Loving the remote control feature for Google Play Movies and TV! It's actually kind of beautiful. I do enjoy the white one, especially if you pair it with a nice custom strap. Still very interested in the Moto 360 though.
Posted via Connectedly App
Corny but here I go....... Smartwatches, gotta catch them all!
Never ever win anything but have to be in it to win it. Please pick me, truly love this watch (and site) :)
Posted via Connectedly App
The LG watch that is :) been a long time coming
Posted via Connectedly App
LG GWatch. Simply android on my wrist.
I need the LG G Watch, looks slick.
Posted via Connectedly App
I think I'd rather take the G Watch over the Gear Live, I'm not a big fan of what Samsung has been doing lately... but I'd have to say the coolest feature is the tight Google Now integration. It just seems so responsive and intuitive! And I really hope I win, because I never win anything from contests....it's like the universe has forbidden it lol
LG G Watch. My favorite feature has to be the always on display.
Ah, so many smart watches, so few wrists.
I think I'd like the Gear Live since the current S5 and S5 Active are very impressive devices, I would expect the Live to be right up there with them. Right now I'd like to keep up with the World Cup without digging around for my phone. And syncing my work calendar would be handy, to make sure I'm not late going home.
The LG would be nice, but my LG refrigerator isn't very smart and the freezer door handle keeps falling off.
Hooray for Android-powered notification triage!
Oh man i would love this so much! I just traded in my pebble hoping for the 360, but I don't know if I can wait!
And I can't read. I would really prefer the Samsung! I like how much more integrated it is vs Pebble by the looks of it! Plus the classier looks(though not vs the Steel)
I like the LG G Watch more. I like that I can just glance at relevant information when I need it and that it's unobtrusive.
I'd go for the LG G Watch, since the Moto360 is not part of the deal. Having a Pebble, I think the feature(s) I'm most looking forward to is being able to control more of my phone through the watch. Rather than just being able to see notifications and have only a small amount of control over them.
Hey, I want to win the LG G Watch, because I really want a smartwatch :D. I think the best feature is Google Now. So that I can see the right information at the right time! :)
My favorite thing about the watch is the location aware notifications. I plan on pre ordering one and hopefully winning a lg g watch from your contest for the missus! Thanks for the contest!
Thanks for offering us this chance, even though I never win anything :). The LG watch (and especially the Moto 360) look really nice, especially for development and reminder purposes.
I'd love to win the Samsung Gear Live, assuming the Moto 360 isn't in the running, to go with my preordered Tab S 8.4 LTE, when that comes out. I'm looking forward to seeing how they look and work together - and I'm REALLY excited to try the voice commands, the one feature my current Sony Smartwatch 2 is lacking.
would love a watch
Lg g watch!
Notifications will be awesome AND IT TELLS THE TIME. WOOOOOOOOO!!!!
yours faithfully,
I would want the gear live because I will not have to keep taking my phone out of my pocket and the gps
Definitely the Samsung Gear Live, and my favorite feature of Android Wear is probably the voice capabilities.
G Watch is the better of the two in my opinion, and I think my favourite feature is probably Google Now integration. I really hope android wear has at least some stand-alone features though, as I'd hate to have to switch watches if I decided to try another phone platform.
Looks nice... Pick me
Samsung gear live, gesture recognition.
I like that it will be customizable. In addition to everything else, of course!
Posted via Connectedly App
Oh! Yes! Do want! Either one would be fantastic! I'm leaning more towards Samsung because of the heart rate monitor, but the extra battery from LG's watch would be good to have too.
As for the favorite feature I personally like the notification sync. There have been quite a few times where I missed something because my phone was muffled in my pocket while I was in a noisy environment and apparently my leg is immune to my phone's vibrate. Having my notifications on my wrist would be incredibly helpful to me.
I want the Samsung gear live.Notifications and Google Now is my favorite. Apart from notifications and Google Now i am really interested in how android fit is integrated with android wear. We did not get much info about it from the I/O presentation. Looking forward to your review.
Love the round faced smartwatch. I'd consider switching to android fully to use it
The gear love for sure: best feature, SEXY ROUND FACE!
I would prefer the Samsung Gear live, sure i love lg but the heart rate monitor makes or breaks it for an athlete.
When it comes down to my favourite feature of the os it would be down to Google now, sure its a centre feature and a notification system but we forget how handy it is. Recently it tells me the weather everyday, upcoming events, my flights, the weather in the next city, travel times and much more. At a swipe information I hadn't got around to checking are there. That is why Google now is my favourite feature.
Posted via Connectedly App
Gear watch would be really cool. A watch with a hear rate monitor is a cool idea. I like the looks of that one more.
Please sign me up for the LG G Watch! My favorite Android Wear feature? Google Now integration.
Would love the Samsung gear live! I love the ability to review notifications without checking out your phone! Good luck everyone!
Posted via Connectedly App
Samsung gear because of the heart rate monitor.
Posted via Connectedly App
Would take the LG since Moto360 is not in play. Favorite feature would be notifications.
Seems like the best smart watch implementation so far. Might have to switch to the dreaded android to try it out.
I would have to say the gear Live if I had to choose. Love the notification feature.
I would like to get a Gear Live, I really like the voice commands
Great stuff!
Posted via Connectedly App
I wanna win
LG. Love the voice actions.
Posted via Connectedly App
LG G Watch, notifications and music controls intrest me
I want a G Watch and my favorite feature is the always on "OK Google".
I would love to put a Gear on my wrist. Please let me be the winner.
Hey I'll gladly take a LG G Watch and without a doubt the coolest part about Android Wear is how notifications sync between my devices.
Yay! This is really exciting and I hope this time I get to win something from you guys!
Good Luck to everyone else too! :)
LG G Watch would be awesome! Rich Notifications that will be synced between devices is the one of the features I am looking forward too!
oh lemme win lemme win lemme win!!!!!!
LG G Watch. Better battery life wins out over slightly slimmer watch.
Best feature is abilty to not only use Google Now, but also respond to texts, calls, set reminders and control apps, all from the watch.
cannot wait for smart watches to become mainstream.
I could totally go for a LG G Watch ⌚
Posted via Connectedly App
I'd like the LG G Watch because it has a more appealing style to me. The best feature on the G Watch, and just Android Wear in general, has to voice commands. I know that may seem like the safe and maybe even boring feature to choose as a favorite but it's just so comprehensive and natural.
While I have a Note2, I'd rather have the LG watch; I trust it to be a little more open than Samsung.
I'm interested in the 2-way cards that let me respond or take actions without getting my phone out.
Drool. I so want one
Id love the Gear Live. I'm always wearing my Galaxy Gear, and really cannot wait to see all the benefits of AndroidWear. Not gonna lie.... I'm a Samsung fan. But also waiting to learn more on the Moto360.
Best feature.... Has to be notifications and I love that the new Gear Live is water resistant.
Posted via Connectedly App
I would absolutely love LG's new G Watch: it's stylish, sleek, and powerful. Access to Google Voice Search, music, and other such things from my wrist would be ridiculously amazing.
I would love a LG G watch for the voice features.
LG G Watch. My favorite feature in Android Wear is the ability to issue voice commands with "OK Google"
I'd want the Gear for the heart rate monitor. And honestly the All The Cooks app recipe cards and automated timer functions had me surprisingly excited.
Posted via Connectedly App
LG G Watch look more impressive between the two. I'm really excited for the voice commands and the fact that the phone can learn from your habits
Posted via Connectedly App
i would love to win this thanks for the chance ive been wanting one for a while
Gwatch for me please. The fact that you will be able to use an app on one device and then start using it on another is awesome. Watch to phone to TV to car #boss
The always on screen is my favorite feature. I always thought that if it didn't do that, then whats the point? Well done!
I would definitely want a Samsung Gear Live, specially with the heart beat sensor that it has and the IP67
I want Gear Live cos it has the heart rate sensor
Would love the LG G watch. I like the size.
My vote would be for the G Watch. I'm really excited to see what Android Wear will be bringing us in the future.
Samsung Gear Live. I really like the integration of all the fitness stuff.
Posted via Connectedly App
I would love to win the Gear Live!
My favorite part of Android Wear is being able to see notifications like messages and phone calls without having to pull your phone out. And being able to respond to some of these actions is awesome too. Sometimes pulling out the phone is rude or you just can't get to it, but Android Wear is making that all a little easier.
That are some awesome watches. wld be lucky to get hands on it.
Cool! I hope I win!
Goodluck everyone!
I would love to win the G Watch. Favourite feature would probably be fitness apps and for messaging.
Posted via Connectedly App
Samsung gear live for having a heart rate monitor and being water resistant
I would want a G Watch because I love the square design versus the Moto 360 and I don't like how the Gear Live looks exactly like the Tizen Gear line.
LG G Watch i think ...and fav feature is google now on my wrist. notifications will be v helpful
I like the Samsung Gear Live because it has an Heart Rate Monitor...this is the way to go from now on...and the 1.2 GHz Processor...speed :):):)
I like G Watch and I love the fact that developers (like me!) can make their own Wear apps that use the existing UI elements in Google's notification APIs without too much work at all.

Posted on 07/23/2011 1:39:46 AM PDT by quesney
The Norwegian police on Saturday charged a 32-year-old man, whom they identified as a Christian fundamentalist with right-wing connections, over the bombing of a government center here and a shooting attack on a nearby island that together left at least 91 people dead. Multimedia

SCANPIX, via Associated Press Deadly explosions shattered windows on Friday at the government headquarters in Oslo, which includes the prime ministers office. A spokeswoman for Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said he was safe. More Photos » The police said they did not know if the man, identified in the Norwegian press as Anders Behring Breivik, was part of a larger conspiracy. He is being questioned under the countrys terrorism laws and is cooperating with the investigation, they said.
We are not sure whether he was alone or had help, a police official, Roger Andresen, said at a televised press conference, adding: What we know is that he is right-wing and a Christian fundamentalist. So far Mr. Breivik has not been linked to any anti-jihadist groups, he said.

Well, I thought the other post with the picture of the cowardly police hiding, waiting for the gunman to run out of ammo was a sickening picture...
But your pic #2 tops that one.
How incredibly sad.
That one made the tears flow.
A Prayer for all the children "Lord, accept these innocent lambs into the gates of Heaven and give them eternal peace,Amen."
I wouldn't put it past the globalists to pull a stunt like the stadium shooting in your first book in order to get global gun control on the fast track since the US Senate has been most uncooperative in that arena as of yesterday it seems...
The UN Global Gun Control treaty will pass or fail with or without the help of the U.S. Senate. It will likely now pass the U.N. on a fast track basis with this massacre that just happened in Norway. And pass with severe restritions on private gun ownership for any nation that adopts this treaty.
However, like you alluded to, yesterday, 51 U.S. Senators pledged not to ratify any UN Small Arms/Gun Control Treaty that has any provisions that effect private ownership of firearms.
U.S. Senate Stands with NRA in Strongly Opposing U.N Gun Control Efforts
For any UN Small Arms/Gun Control Treaty to take any effect or become the law in the United States, it must be ratified by the U.S. Senate and ratification for any treaty requires the votes of 2/3 of the Senate or 67 Senators to approve the treaty, per the U.S. Constitution. That is not taking into effect any court challenges against this treaty challenging the constitutionality of this treaty as to it's effect on the 2nd amendment.
Right now, 51 Senators are publicly on board as opposing any UN Treaty that adversly effects the 2nd Amendment or civilian ownership of small arms, well short of the 67 required for any UN Treaty to become law here. So the UN can pass any gun control treaty they wish, it will have no effect on civilian gun owners within the United States unless it is ratified by the U.S. Senate.
Just like the Kyoto treaty, it will not become law here unless it is ratified by the Senate. A few of those 51 Senators may go wobbly because of the Norway tragedy, but there will still be over 40 who will never ratify this treaty, more than enough to stop this UN treaty from becoming law here.
I too have read all three books of Travis' (Matt's) 'Enemies, Foreign and Domestic' series. I do not feel that this tragedy will have any serious consequences on domestic U.S. Gun Laws, since it happened overseas. If it happened here on U.S. Soil, who knows.
Obama and his ilk may try some more administrative gun control actions, but I do not forsee any new gun control laws coming out of either house of Congress over this. Heck, in light of 'Fast and Furious/Gunwalker', if Obama and his ilk to try to enact more gun control via exexutive order, they will have to answer to an angry and sceptical Congress.
This Norwegian massacre will certainly hearten the gun grabbers in this country to step up their efforts, but will have no effect on this congress.
Could be there was a little more significance to the date.
We'll find out later that it has the fingerprints of the religion of pieces all over it. But whoever gets the first word wins, so of course they're saying it was done by a right wing christian. Let me guess, they arrived at the brilliant conclusion because he attended a christian church once at the age of 5.
Funny that you have to access the African website to get the muslim connection. Here, it's all: white guy, christian, right-wing....
I'd been curious about what this guy did for a living as nothing had been said. Then reports mentioned "a farm owned by" the shooter. Later I'd heard on Sky News that he is from a prominent family and "very wealthy".
Once someone is identified, we usually hear their occupation. The info might change, but it sounds like at this point that this guy had money and property and no full time occupation.

"I dont care what the guy is, this has absolutely nothing to do with right wingers in America in any way, shape, or form."
Have you tried telling that to some of your lefty friends who are on a steady diet of the MSM kool-aid?
Wow, grey_whiskers! You actually turned a thread that discusses a terrorist attack in Norway and the possibility of muslim involvement and whether Christians and Muslims "were all alike" into a comment about "scoring with Sarah Palin".
Is that what you obsess about, grey_whiskers?
Thinking that you have a "chance" of "scoring with Sarah Palin"?
Is that what you think about when you fall asleep and are dreaming about when you wake up?
Dreaming that you have a "chance" of "scoring with Sarah Palin"?
Is that what you are still dreaming about at noon as you read about a Norwegian terrorist attack?
"Scoring with Sarah Palin"?
You know, grey_whiskers, you might want to talk to a psychiatrist about the benefits of finding yourself a girlfriend whose last name is not "Sarah.jpg"
In the mean time, since you are a Sarah Palin fan and believe that that "you have a chance to score with Sarah Palin" go back to your erotic fantasies about that married woman.
Just don't act out your fantasies and travel to Alaska, grey_whiskers. Todd Palin has a gun and he probably would not appreciate some pervert thinking that he has "a chance" to "score" with his wife just because the pervert wants her to run for President.

Something rotten in Norway
by Manfred Gerstenfeld
Monday March 28, 2011
"People told me when I came to Norway that the country has a long tradition of anti-Semitism. They were wrong. It is not history. It is happening here and now. Top Harvard lawyer Alan Dershowitz had excellent reasons to make this statement when he visited Norway...
Norwegian society is dominated by a left of center elite group of politicians, journalists, academics, NGOs and some bishops. Among these elites one finds many anti-Israeli hate mongers, obsessed with a small country thousands of kilometers away. One among many examples of how distorted the views of this elite group is that 9% of Norwegian journalists voted for the minute extreme left Red party. Almost none however, support the pro-Israeli Progress party, one of the two major opposition parties, or the smaller Christian Democrats.
"The Big Lie of the late 20th century was that Nazism was Rightist. It was in fact typical of the Leftism of its day. It was only to the Right of Stalin's Communism. The very word "Nazi" is a German abbreviation for "National Socialist" (Nationalsozialist) and the full name of Hitler's political party (translated) was "The National Socialist German Workers' Party" (In German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei)" - Dr. John Joseph Ray http://jonjayray.comuv.com/main.html
The fake FB page you mean.
Yesterday, July 22, 2011, 51 U.S. Senators publicly went on record as opposing the ratification of any U.N. Small Arms/Gun Control Treaty that contained provisions restricting the civilian or private ownership of firearms and/or adversly effecting the 2nd Amendment. (Link Below)

Now, a few of those 51 Senators may go wobbly over what happened in Norway, but I fell that there will still be over 40 who will never vote to ratify any UN Treaty that contains provisions for restricting the 2nd Amendment/private or civilian ownership of firearms. As of now, if this treaty passes the UN with any restrictions (major or minor) on private/civilian ownership of firearms, it will be DOA in the Senate and not become law here.
As you may be aware, for any treaty to be ratified by the U.S. Senate, it requires 2/3 of the U.S. Senate to approve the treaty, or 67 Senators. So the UN can pass any Gun Control Treaty they wish, it will have no effect within the United States unless or until the U.S. Senate ratifies this. This does not take into account court challenges to any potential gun control treaty, challenging it on a constitutional basis.
I've been reading all his comments on various sites he visited. They guy is not stupid by any means, and appears to have an ordered an disciplined mind in what he believes politically. But I am unconvinced he is a Christian, rather he purposed using the church as an ally for political gain.
Also comes across as an activist....so the question remains...how did these play into his actions of killing? At what point does ones reasoning ability shift as his did, to that of taking life?
The perp was renting a farm. So what was the perp's occupation?
But this looks like a Norwegian Tim McVeigh including National Alliance type affections and pre Christian pagan lore desires.
Crazy as hell but in the same knarr....
He or he and his accomplices must have been very determined to basically hunt down and murder children like that. That rivals SS personal kills in such a short period.
I can't imagine...people who think evil does not inhabit the human form are naive.
Yes...this will hurt us...it doesn't matter if it's fair.
This is the age of perception and hurling smears.
And attacks like this or McVeigh is why liberals so fear anything they perceive as right wing. Folks perceived as white right wingers are scary..because we have higher expectations of civility.
That is why we look at Nazis as scarier than commissars.
We expect civilized white people to be well...civilized.
Angry deranged whites are indeed capable monsters...and that scares the others..
What a tragedy...poor families
Murdering children proves this demon was not a Christian, but the servants of the lie must make their lies grow don'tchaknow.
I don't believe he is a nazi. Just a lone crazy very very smart guy. Our government building is in ruins. He wanted to kill the government. And he killed lots of young socialists. 80 kids slaughtered. I hate to say that this is a rigtht wing extremist. but it it. :(This is one of our guys, Please accept it.!
It is really sad how many liberals almost seem giddy that 90 people are dead just so they can post on CNN "ah ha, he was a Teabagger lol"
When a right-winger does something bad, I am just as angry as if it were a Muslim. Though this guy was a Nazi.....he was WAY WAY WAY right almost to the point of being extreme left.
Breivik was repeatedly critical of Nazis in his Document.no posts, for what it's worth:
"For me it is very hypocritical to treat Muslims, Nazis and Marxists differ. They are all supporters of hate-ideologies. Not all Muslims, Nazis and Marxists are conservative, most are moderate. But does it matter? A moderate Nazi might, after having experienced fraud, choose to be conservative. A moderate Muslim can, after being refused to enter a club, be conservative, etc.
It is obvious that the moderate supporters of hate-ideologies, at a later date may choose conservatism.
Islam (ism) has historically led to 300 million deaths
Communism has historically led to 100 million deaths
Nazism has historically led to 6-20 million deaths
ALL hate ideologies should be treated equally."
But if there is more to this, then we may be getting our info from a gov't that could benefit in some way from this carnage. And if so, then we can't trust the info.
Less than 100 died. While a lot, that's not a few thousand and fewer than an airline disaster.
"A third degree Mason.....of course theyve issued a statment that they cannot speak about anything concerning this man. Which is generally a level most can reach easily...and designed so they can do just that. But he would have had to go thru their rituals/rites...which themselves are pretty morbid."
What this individual did goes against every tenet of Freemasonry. Obviously, you speak of Freemasonry through total ignorance. Are you related, by chance, to someone in the White House?
Have you read any of MestaMachine's comments?
Here is one, she is on this:
Comment by MestaMachine on this thread:
Here is something overlooked. It might seem minor, but the guy had sympathy for iran and the shia. shia=hizbullah. Against wahabi islam or saudi arabia. THIS is a connection I would jump on with both feet since it was NORWAY that gave asylum to a very high rankng iranian cabinet official who defected to the west that ticked iran off no end.
From Document.no
2009-12-25 09:58:33
I have never understood why the West focus so disproportionately on Iran and so little on the Wahhabi Saudi leadership, which after all is the most dangerous and most powerful Muslim central power. We should, of course, as soon as the bombing suspect their facilities but otherwise focus much more on Saudi. Could it be something that Iran is not a major oil exporter?
Shias make up a relatively small proportion of Muslims and has absolutely no influence on the Sunnis.
I would actually argue that we undermine our own interests by unilaterally attacking the only relatively weak alternative to Sunni Islam. If Iran falls to Wahhabi position strengthened considerably, since they have no competitors.
We should not forget that Saudi Arabia and several other Sunni Muslim countries want to destroy Iran. Nor is Iran that has built 300-500 Wahhabi centers around around Europe of the finances only 2 of 30 Jihad Fronts around the around the world.
And this article recently posted but I don't have the FR link to the thread:
At least two terrorists behind Norwegian youth camp massacre - witnesses
Hi Mesta....I was just reading thru his documents and comments on various sites. I would agree he seemed to sympathize with Iran and the shia....but overall he was very much involved, if only active in his mind, with political manuvering and attempts to motivate those who are active..both on line and otherwise it appears.
He was disgusted at various times that his ideas and comments were not taken serious enough for various news and political entities to hire him...or at least give him a public say.
He metioned writing a book he was going to publish as well...
I dont know about this character Mesta...but I would assume since he did not get the notoriety he was seeking and thought deserving of he was going to get the attention this way....but the questions still remain...who helped him? This operation just seemed too big for one man without some others at least aware something was amiss...or in fact a part of it.
No one seems to mention the Free Mason Regalia.
>>I hate that this is a right wing anti Muslim guy. But it is the Truth.
Why are you so desperate to have everyone believe that?
It's like you have your mind made up, no matter what facts come to light. Weird.
early reports are normally wrong. Take a moment and let the dust settle.
Yeah, I don't think Christianity was at the center of Breivik's worldview or thought - he mostly talks about it in terms of needing to protect Christianity, in a cultural sense, from Marxism and Islam.
However, he asserted he was a member of a church:
"I myself am a Protestant and baptized / confirmed to me by my own free will when I was 15
But today's Protestant church is a joke. Priests in jeans who march for Palestine and churches that look like the minimalist shopping centers. I am a supporter of an indirect collective conversion of the Protestant church back to the Catholic. In the meantime, I vote for the most conservative candidates in church elections.
The only thing that can save the Protestant church is to go back to basics."
Well, you did use all-caps. So I guess it must be so.
... and why is this scumbag still alive? Why wasn't he taken out?
Sorry, this guy has posted on at least one Nazi forum (or at least it appears so). This is not one of our guys, not even remotely close. There is absolutely nothing in conservative ideology that would give someone this type impulse. Also, he might be part of some Christian identity movement but that is 180 degrees out of sync with Christianity. They do nothing but appropriate the term Christian for their purposes and cover.
There's a lot to be learned about this guy, but one thing for certain is he's not Christian, nor is he conservative. That's nothing more than a purposeful, convenient, fabricated storyline.
The latter might actually have been a good idea if it had stopped him. Of course, if somehow you missed him you would be dead for nothing.
There was a lot of "Second shooter" talk right after the Virginia Tech massacre, too. There wasn't one, of course.
You might want to reconsider your comment. I know more than plenty about Freemasonry and your comment lends me to believe you may be one of their latest victims, for the average inquirer would quickly be able to see Masons are an organization front with a very dark side.....now how would I know that unless familiar with those who have 'escaped' Freemasonry, as well as other "credentials" for speaking my mind about it.
Freemasonry is a cult with a business and semi-religious bent, often using Christian language initially... in which they use to recruit individuals...A third degree Mason is little advancement and fully understood by the upper echelons of the organizations.....these "low-boys" are kept as means of filling the coffers of the higher up....recruitment is necessary as there as been an enormous "Exodus" from Freemasonry...they cannot attract the masses they once did as all the secrecy is pretty much known and published now....and it's a cult.
The fact you cannot yet identify what Freemasonry is really about could say you have not advanced very far...or that you are so far advanced you are protecting the organization. Either way you appear be to be in it...to your own demise if you continue.
This is the media's way of saying "neo-nazi Aryan nationalist" so they can lump all of us in with murdering scumbags.
At least two terrorists behind Norwegian youth camp massacre - witnesses
It's posted now on FR but I don't know where.
I believe the assertion is that he joined such a forum; don't know if he ever posted.
But his posts on the Norwegian equivalent of FR (compiled by the forum itself, perhaps hundreds over a two-year period) would not be remotely out of place here. Basically he talks about the Muslim, Marxist,and multiculturalism threat, the bias/conspiracy of the media supporting those threats, etc. etc.
Sounds like the "US policy impact" was the aftermath of Oklahoma City. Norway is not the US. Napolitano and her boss can try a big power grab, but I don't think it will get a very good popular reception. I think people are getting sick and tired of the government's abuses of rights for the sake of the "WoT".
RIGHT WING CHRISTIAN EXTREMIST BLUE EYED BLOND HAIRED FUNDAMENTALIST is what the press has been screaming from the start.
Similar to what they did with Jared Loughner. They even called Lee Harvey Oswald a right-winger, which turned out to be a lie.
I invite everyone to slow down a minute, don't hysterically jump on the bandwagon, use the common sense God gave a chicken, and remember the history of the media.
It may save you from looking very stupid later.
BTW, did you see that he was on Nazi websites? That is not "right wing." All signs do NOT point to "right wing extremism." Pay attention and quit hyperventilating.
Belonging to a church today is not what it once entailed. It's become very worldly in every respect and therefore lost it's rightful place as a lighthouse to the world. It's become dark in many ways though has an appearance of light.
Many churches have become political and certainly gravitated to being overcome by the homosexual agenda. Look at Rev. Wright's "church" and so many others like his...as well the "motivational/success" entities calling themselves a church. Power hungry and constantly in "reformed" mode.
Not to mention the catholic church and others like who are all being infilitrated. God said clean house...few who are doing enough to rid it of the stench and so it's decaying from within. So I cannot agree the catholic church is the way to go....rather people need to get back to the 'centrality of Jesus Christ'....then the church can flourish...but I fear those days are in the past now as we head down the road spoken of.
God said this would happen...I just didn't expect to see it in my day.

Cooper Vault
this wiki
|This page is about the location of the Cooper Clan's accumulated treasures. For the job, see The Cooper Vault.
On arriving there, we discovered some one by the name of Dr. M had already set up shop, by the looks of things, he had been trying to crack it for years.
The Cooper Vault is a large cave system located on Kaine Island in the South Pacific. Believed to be originally modified by Slytunkhamen Cooper II around 1300 BC into a vault, it contains the fortune and canes of the many members of the Cooper Clan. Only a true Cooper cane can open it.[1]
It is not completely known who originally started using the cave system as a vault, though the first member who has a pedestal and treasure is Slytunkhamen Cooper II, who lived around 1300 BC.
As time went on, many of the more prominent members of the Cooper Clan made a trip at some point to Kaine Island, where they stored their gold and treasures, as well as traveling further into the cave system where they set up a pedestal that held their cane and a self portrait of some form. They then surrounded this shrine with their most prized possessions; ranging from vases and bags of money, to swords and wanted posters.
Eventually, a large door to seal the vault was installed. It could only be opened by placing a true Cooper cane into the shaped "keyhole."
Dr. M's fortress
Sometime after the death of Sly Cooper's father, a member of his gang, a mandrill called Dr. M, gained the deed to the island in an attempt to obtain the treasures within.
For years he tried to break through the door to take the fortune inside the vault. However, as the vault could only be opened by a Cooper's cane, Dr. M grew paranoid and built a massive fortress with security "as tight as Fort Knox" around the entire island. During Honor Among Thieves, Sly, Bentley and Murray finally gained access to the inside of the vault using Sly's cane.
Despite the entire gang having access to the vault, only Sly can access the ancestors' gauntlet. While he explores the legacy of the Coopers', Dr. M finally breaks into the vault. Bentley and Murray hold him off for as long they can, but he eventually gets free of them and, using a tracking device he had planted on Sly's cane before they entered the vault, follows Sly through the gauntlet.
Final battle
As Sly finds the inner sanctum, Dr. M meets up with him, and they fight. Carmelita arrives partway through the battle, and attacks Dr. M after Sly took a shot for her. Defeating Dr. M, Carmelita and Sly leave as the entire vault starts to cave in due to the intensive battling. Bentley heads in to the sanctum to find Sly, but only finds his Cane, as well as an intact section of the vault filled with a fortune's worth of gold.
Between Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, Bentley and Penelope became the keepers and maintainers of the remaining Cooper Vault, making repairs to it and creating new security for it, including a new vault door.
Inside the vault is all of the fortune and wealth of the Cooper line and a pedestal that displays the cane that each of the prominent Cooper members owned. The vault also has many booby-traps only a Cooper could get through, ranging from Ninja Spire Jumps to Rail Walks. The entire treasure trove in which the Cooper had placed their treasure had been placed at the very end of the vault inside the inner sanctum, which not only held treasure but also some of the Coopers' greatest inventions.
Treasures and canes
- Slytunkhamen Cooper II: Presumed founder of the vault, ancient Egyptian thief - Twin khopesh-like canes, a sarcophagus
- Salim al-Kupar: Arabian thief with the stealth of 40 thieves - Scimitar-like cane, a rug and Arabian lamp
- Sir Galleth Cooper: Honorable knight and cunning thief - Lance-like cane, his shield
- Slaigh MacCooper: Scottish thief and also known as the strongest of the Clan - Stone-topped caber cane, his wooden shield
- Rioichi Cooper: Japanese ninja thief - Twin sai-like canes, a suit of samurai armor and a jade dragon
- Henriette "One Eye" Cooper: Pirate thief - Hook-like cane, a cannon
- "Tennessee Kid" Cooper: Western American outlaw and railroad thief - Pistol-like cane, a wagon wheel and a horn from a steer
- Thaddeus Winslow Cooper III: British aristocrat and gentlemanly thief - Ruby embellished cane, cup/goblet
- Otto Van Cooper: Outstanding mechanical thief - Propeller-like cane, tool boxes and his plane
- Conner Cooper: Scientific thief and proud father of Sly Cooper - Cane now belongs to Sly, a laptop, and a microscope
- Salim lived before Sir Galleth, yet Sir Galleth's section is before Salim's. This could be due to the path connecting Slytunkhamen II and Salim's sections was damaged, so Sir Galleth decided to bridge the gap by adding his own little shrine.
- According to Sly, every Cooper stored their wealth in the vault. However, it is unknown if all Coopers' built a shrine, as only a small amount are seen.
- Bob Cooper, the minor Coopers, Slytunkhamen I and Sly himself are the only members that do not have known sections in the Cooper Vault.
- Despite the vaults seemingly impenetrable fortification that only a Cooper can bypass, Bentley was able to enter the Inner Sanctum and Carmelita was able to break through a back entrance. There was also a cave opening that lead to the Cooper fortune hidden only by some bushes that Sly left open for the rest of his gang.

Well, it is said that actions speak louder than words.
Islamists should sign this kid up. He is Cleric fodder. He will have a bang-up future as a brainwashed suicide bomber.
A better example would be, "This sentence has the word 'violence' in it."
It must be hard living inside your scared, pathetic mind. The Quran does not teach violence any more than the Bible does. It's the interpretation of a small minority of Islamists, and a much larger minority of Christians, who choose to interpret their religious texts as promoting hatred.
Poor spelling again
Shoulda been 'violins'
stradivari made some fine violence
Jeremy WAS able to tell the difference between synonyms, but he chose not to. After all, he didn't have the title of "bully" for nothing, and this would merely enhance his mythos among the 4th graders.
"…interpretation of a small minority of Islamists…"
When the millions and millions of other Islamists straighten out the violent Clerics, then your words can be heard.
Right now, the SILENCE is deafening.
I've seen "Islamist" used separately from "Muslim" to mean those with the nastiest interpretation of Islam.
Unfortnately, just as your message of hatred has spurred others here, the vioces of violence shout down the voices of reason, and hatred rules. This Christian has spken; the silence is now broken for today. Will you open your mind to the possibility of another point of view?

Hartford — U.S. Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy said Friday that the "Connecticut effect" is alive and well despite the fact that the gun control bill in the U.S. Senate has been defeated.
"I can say that I didn't see it coming," Murphy said during a press conference at the state Capitol. "I thought that when 90 percent of the American public says that they want something, even the United States Senate couldn't be bought."
The federal gun control bill that failed last week would have expanded national background checks, banned illegal trafficking — including straw purchases, or the practice of someone purchasing a gun for someone who can't buy one legally — and added school safety initiatives and mental health services, Blumenthal said.
The two Democratic senators said their plan to get five more votes on the Senate floor before the end of the calendar year in order for the bill to pass is to come up with more compromises.
"There are still ways to change (the bill) without substantially weakening it," Murphy said.
For example, senators are considering adding an exemption to the background checks requirement for a small handful of rural gun sales, Murphy said. It would affect about 2 percent of the U.S. population, he said.
Blumenthal said another area that could be tweaked is the role of Federal Firearms Licensed dealers in processing background checks for gun show or Internet sales.
If the background check could be handled electronically and the cost were reduced, this change could help the bill pass, Blumenthal said.
"But fundamentally, I share the view that a background check is already weaker than we would prefer in terms of some of the exceptions that it includes," Blumenthal said.
For instance, if the bill had passed, it would have expanded background checks to gun shows and Internet sales but not to private sales.
But despite the watered-down bill that might be further tweaked, Blumenthal and Murphy remained optimistic.
"We aren't going away, and the Newtown families aren't going away," Murphy said. "There are several pathways to get a bill back on the floor, and as Sen. Blumenthal will tell you, the majority leader remains committed to getting this gun violence bill back on the floor of the U.S. Senate."
The gun lobby might have won this round, but it is not going to win in the long run, Murphy said.
About 4,000 people have died from gun violence since the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, and the families of those who have been gunned down have become a powerful lobbying force that is having an effect all over the country, he said.
It is how the filibuster that Republicans threatened prior to the Senate vote was overcome, Murphy said. For the first time, there is money behind the people in favor of new gun control measures, he said.
Blumenthal said there is a lot of anecdotal evidence that senators who voted against the bill are taking heat from their constituents who were lobbying in Washington, D.C.
The approval rating for U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., dropped by 15 percent following her vote against background checks, Murphy said and news reports confirm. By contrast, the approval rating for Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., who was a co-sponsor of the gun bill, has risen, he said.
"The American people are making (themselves) heard," Blumenthal said.
"I hope to God that another massacre isn't what prompts the Senate to do the right thing," Murphy said.

Posted on 08/05/2010 1:43:56 PM PDT by traumer
- In a report that is likely to lead to renewed concerns about the job market, the Labor Department said Thursday that first-time claims for unemployment benefits unexpectedly showed a moderate increase in the week ended July 31st.
The report showed that initial jobless claims rose to 479,000 from the previous weeks revised figured of 460,000. The increase came as a surprise to economists, who had expected jobless claims to edge down to 455,000 from the 457,000 originally reported for the previous week.
With the unexpected increase, weekly jobless claims rose to their highest level since coming in at 480,000 in the week ended April 10th.
The Labor Department also said that the less volatile four-week moving average rose to 458,500 from the previous weeks revised average of 453,250.
On the other hand, continuing claims, a reading on the number of people receiving ongoing unemployment help, fell to 4.537 million in the week ended July 24th from the preceding weeks revised level of 4.571 million.
Reflecting the extension of unemployment benefits by Congress, the report also showed that extended benefits increased by a net 258 thousand in the week ended July 17th after showing notable decreases in previous weeks.
While weekly jobless claims rose to their highest level in over three months, Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak, noted that jobless claims in July have been impacted by auto plant shutdowns or the lack thereof with respect to GM.
Notwithstanding the seasonal noise in July, the level of claims remains stubbornly high and still point to a sluggish labor market, Boockvar said.
He added, While tomorrow we will hopefully see an expected 90,000 added to the private sector roles, the pace remains below what is needed to absorb the monthly additions to the labor force.

There's that word again.
Damm - was hoping to be IBTU!
I wish we could go back to unexpected positive economic news, like it was 2 years ago.
Getting to be as useless and meaningless as the word "racist".
Tsk, tsk...."unexpected"...again and again.
What geniuses economists are. They still haven't figured out that conservatives are boycotting BO's fake "recovery." Nothing will change until we change the Marxists running the show now in D.C.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
UNEXPECTED is the most over-used liberal word of this decade. I'm sick of it. What a bunch of b.s.

Mrs Yokel is no longer a statistic. Thanks and praise to God.
Decaf after lunch helps me...
LOL. I know! I'm sorry. I have no idea why it posted that many times.
Obviously bears repeating, but,
I thought some form of the word "racist" was the most overused liberal word of the decade...
Drink. It was totally UNEXPECTED!
"Stubbornly Unexpected!"
unexpected bump!
If they expect us to expect the unexpected, doesn't the unexpected become the expected?
Well, I guess everyone hasn't gotten the word that the definition of "unexpected" is now meant to be "horseshit".
while (1) { printf("Unexpected!\n"); sleep(SECONDSPERYEAR / 12); ;
Unexpected = MSM propaganda fail.
Regardless of who or what put us here, proof is that the DNC can't fix it.
We need a poll to FReep:
Which is the most overused word, racist or unexpectedly?
IMHO, it's about even.
lol! I immediately thought the same thing!!
They expect nothing but acclaim.
Who is that?

Tasting Notes
Deep garnet with ripe cherry on the nose. Ripe cherry with cassis and clove on the palate with tobacco on the finish. A well-structured wine that will pair perfectly with a grilled steak.
Technical Notes
After harvest, the grapes for our Cabernet Sauvignon were destemmed and cold soaked for two days to capture intense color. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks for up to 11 days at a maximum temperature of 90°F. Throughout fermentation, we performed several rack and returns for optimal extraction of color and flavor. This wine saw both French and American oak to create well-integrated flavors and a rich mouthfeel. Rich and full-bodied, our Cabernet Sauvignon is well-structured with firm tannins and ripe dark fruit flavors of blackberry and black currant layered with notes of toasty oak and cocoa. Try Columbia Cabernet alongside hearty stews, roasts or wild game meats.

Energy Fruits and Vegetables
Plant foods such as fruit and vegetables are great sources of energy because they absorbed sunlight directly and stored the energy as starches. Starch is one of the body's primary source of complex carbohydrates. In order to obtain the most amount of energy from plant foods, you need to eat the ones that are organically grown. Also, eat them fresh and choose the ones that are bright in color.
Fruit and vegetables are full of essential minerals, proteins, fiber, complex carbs and many other important nutrients for increasing your energy and health. When shopping for fruits and vegetables, buy the ones that are organic because they are not treated with pesticides. Otherwise, make sure you wash the fruits before eating them.
Fruits and vegetables health benefits
- Most fruits and vegetables are rich in essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids. For boosting energy, choose fresh fruits and vegetables that are rich in magnesium, B vitamins and coenzyme Q10.
- Fruits and vegetables are often high in fiber, which is important for lowering unhealthy cholesterol levels, preventing colon cancer and detoxing toxins in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Fruits and vegetables are full of health enhancing phytochemicals. These natural chemicals play an important role for boosting the immune system. Fruits and vegetables are also full of enzymes, which are helpful for helping your body to digest food.
- If you want to lose weight, eating a lot of fruits and vegetables will help you shed some body fat, because they are low in calories and high in energy boosting nutrients.
You should try to eat at least 2 servings of fruits and 3 servings of vegetables per day, more is even better. Doing this will increase your energy and health because your body will be nourished with the right nutrients. If you want to stay healthy, at least 50 percent or more of your calories should come from organic plant foods. Whenever possible, eat them raw because cooking them will destroy a good portion of their nutrients.

Smooth and sophisticated grooving from Esther Phillips – a record that really has her shaking off the rag-tag and rootsy modes of earlier years, and gliding sweetly into the mainstream! Phillips' vocals are still as soulful and compelling as ever, but the backings are quite full – penned by Joe Beck, who also plays a fair bit of guitar on the record too – and done with a sound that's in the same mode as David Matthews' backings for other Kudu sides of the time. There's a definite soul-heavy focus going on here – with some clubby touches too – and titles include "Caravan", "Fever", "Pure Natural Love", "Unforgettable", "For All We Know", "Fools Rush In", and "Going Out Of My Head". © 1996-2016, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record.

In Md., More Kids Tried as Adults
By Philip P. Pan
They argue with conviction, minimizing their clients' involvement in crimes, emphasizing their youthfulness, calling tearful parents to testify, all but begging judges not to "throw another life away" by keeping them in the adult courts.
These days, the lawyers usually lose.
Four years after Maryland revamped its juvenile justice laws to "get tough" on teenage criminals, the number of youths charged with crimes as adults in the state is climbing ever higher, and judges are jailing more minors in state prisons than ever before. Last year, nearly as many juveniles were sent to prison in Maryland as in the District and Virginia combined.
At the same time, Congress is considering several controversial bills that would encourage other states to follow Maryland and enact similar, tougher measures. Last week's deadly ambush outside an Arkansas school, allegedly by two boys, 11 and 13, has added momentum to the effort.
But in Maryland, at least, legislators, judges and other state officials are wondering what exactly this campaign to prosecute young offenders as adults has accomplished.
Some echo the views of youth advocates who believe the changes are indiscriminately harsh and consign children who might be rehabilitated to lives of crime by jailing them with older felons.
But even among those who favor stiffer penalties for violent juveniles, there is a growing unease that simply transferring them to the adult courts has not been enough.
Part of the problem is a perception -- supported by anecdotes and some statistics -- that many juveniles charged as adults are escaping punishment, perhaps because they are considered first-time offenders in the adult courts. Officials report that some teenagers even prefer to be charged as adults because they believe they'll be treated more leniently that way.
"We hear stories all the time about how some of them want to go up to the adult system," said Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend (D), who focuses on crime issues for the Glendening administration. "Unless we're very careful, we'll sound tough and look good to voters, but we may be delivering less punishment and accountability. . . . My biggest fear is that these juveniles aren't getting punished at all."
In 1994, Maryland lawmakers voted to require police to charge minors 16 and older as adults when they are arrested for any of a long list of crimes, including armed robbery, possession of a handgun and various forms of assault. The state already required police to treat youths 14 and older charged with first-degree murder and rape as adults.
As a result, Maryland now requires juveniles to be charged as adults for a wider range of offenses than both the District and Virginia, where prosecutors are given more discretion.
But it's unclear what effect these changes have had. No state agency has tracked what happens to juveniles in the adult courts, examining how many go to prison and how quickly they get out compared with their counterparts in the juvenile system. Nor has any one examined whether the youths are more likely to commit crimes after they are released.
Townsend is asking the General Assembly this year to establish a commission to study all aspects of the state's juvenile justice system in the next two years and figure out what's happening.
It's clear that police are charging more minors as adults with crimes than ever before. State police report that figure rose faster than juvenile arrests overall between 1993 and 1996, from 1,066 to about 1,450, an increase of 36 percent.
But no one is sure how many of those youths remain in the adult system because judges can transfer them back to juvenile court. To complicate matters, juvenile court judges also transfer hundreds of cases each year to the adult courts.
One indisputable change is that Maryland judges are sending more juveniles to adult prisons. According to state corrections officials, judges sentenced a record 334 juveniles to prison last year, 25 percent more than in 1994 and 50 percent more than in 1990.
"There are juveniles in almost every institution in the state now," said Ronald Moats, warden of the Maryland Correctional Training Center, a medium-security facility in Hagerstown.
Most juveniles convicted as adults are imprisoned with the general population, but Moats said he tries to keep the 40 or so youths in his prison separated from the adults -- although not because he's afraid for the juveniles.
"That's probably our most difficult tier," he said. "They're more violent and they lack respect for authority and rules. . . . They don't come to us for petty thefts."
But if the most serious juvenile offenders tried as adults are entering prison, state officials say, hundreds of other youths transferred to the adult system are ending up on probation or they are acquitted of charges.
And that begs the question: Would those juveniles have been punished more severely in the juvenile courts?
According to the preliminary results of a study by the state Department of Juvenile Justice, the answer is yes. A draft copy suggests juveniles in the adult courts are far more likely to get probation or no sentence than minors charged with similar crimes in the juvenile system.
That's because many teenagers charged as adults are considered first-time offenders, said Prince George's Circuit Judge Michelle Hotten, who presides over the county's juvenile court.
"I think everybody agrees there should be a correlation between criminal behavior and some kind of sanctions," Hotten said. "But putting them in the adult system doesn't always accomplish that. More often than not, they may get probation."
Other judges are more skeptical of the study's findings.
"There's no doubt the adult court is tougher," said William D. Missouri, the county's administrative judge, "but it depends on the crime." Adult court judges won't hesitate to jail the most violent juveniles, he said, but may be less willing to incarcerate juveniles convicted of less serious crimes.
Defense attorneys, for their part, said they always prefer to keep cases in juvenile court because a conviction at the adult level means a permanent record and possibly a lengthy prison term. By contrast, juvenile records are sealed and the court can hold defendants only until they are 21.
Unlike the adult court, which focuses on punishment, the mission of the juvenile court is to rehabilitate offenders who still might be changed. But Hotten and other judges say the state has not committed the resources to get the job done.
As a result, said Prince George's Police Chief John S. Farrell, officers see juvenile offenders "cycling in and out of the [juvenile] system again and again. And that sends them the wrong message." The question, he said, is whether the adult courts are handling them any better.
"Many of these laws are passed out of a sense of frustration about what to do with an underfunded, understaffed juvenile justice program," he said.
Gilberto de Jesus, the state's new secretary of juvenile justice, said the department is trying to be more creative and efficient in the use of its limited resources.
"That means doing something the first time a young person breaks the law, instead of waiting until after eight or ten arrests to hold them accountable," he said.
But de Jesus said it may simply be too late for older juveniles committing more serious crimes, given the resources available to the department.
"Injecting that child into the juvenile system, he preys on other kids and acts as leader. He is going to contaminate the others," he said. "Some of these kids, there's just nothing we can do for them."
