They should Develop ICS and Help OEM to push updates to their Devices rather tham Releasing New OSes!
This will only increase the Android Fragmentation problem!

I would leave it to the pros there sport.
Google has more insight into the industry than any of us spectators.
Have some faith, Google knows what they are doing.

brother you are right. you buy an ics phone and three months later its using an out dated os. what happens is that some of such customers would wait for the latest firmware from their manufacurers while others would buy new phones. so premature updates are good for the manufacturers because it sell them phones. but not for the consumer.
25. squallz506 (banned) (Posts: 1075; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
like i give a sh!t about the consumer.
i want updates as fast as i can flash them.
i want the cutting edge. i do not care if the iDiots out there think the new OS is "buggy", "half-baked", or "premature". i know that the new OS is new, and is a work in progress. i want to help with that development.

ICS is already developed...now they need to make it portable like windows OS...standardize all hardware interfaces so that users can flash latest and greatest of android on their own.
37. drahmad (Posts: 480; Member since: 20 Aug 2011)
nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww you have spoken. but unfortunately google will never put standards to manufacturers bcs google wants to be as Open as possible.

My bet is still on Jelly Bean being 4.1 - 4.0 was a major transition and given the adoption rates (abysmal) to this point, I'll bet they make this more like a Froyo to Gingerbread addition rather than the larger leaps to Honeycome and ICS no matter the features they add.

Ha, what is the pastry name for android 40?
4. danwatson (Posts: 117; Member since: 03 Jan 2012)
It will likely be 4.1 not 5.0
5. rg987 (Posts: 130; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
it will definitely be 4.1, since 5.0 is not gonna release till this fall(as said in the article), then it means that they will provide any other iteration below 5.0, they can't sit with 4.0 on the market for the whole year. apple will eat them up otherwise.
31. thephoneguy92 (Posts: 191; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
Apple will not release another OS until their next phone comes out in October-ish. They would not give 4S users iOS 6 before the 5(?) came out. That would risk losing the wow factor of the very few new things that will be on the phone.

since when is Ice Cream & Jelly Beans Pastries??????? you meant snacks, buds, not pastries.
10. bayusuputra (Posts: 963; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
the names are based on desserts, not pastries nor snacks..

"Each Android iteration has been named after a pastry in alphabetical order" read the article stupid

krusty krab..
23. EclipseGSX (Posts: 1717; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
my bet is still on Key Lime Pie
9. Nanaoallen (Posts: 2; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
off topic. I know this is IMPOSSIBLE, but if google were to pick apple as the next nexus manufacturer. It should be named iNexus :))
Just my reverie that apple should try the BEST OS.
I would love to have an iPhone with an Android OS.
13. bayusuputra (Posts: 963; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
yes you can get an iPhone 3G to run android..
but seriously, google should slow down a little.. improve ICS first, or at least let 2011 devices that are promised by manufacturers to taste ICS get it first before launching a new OS.. but i have a strong feeling that this will be a 4.1 like others have mentioned, not 5.0, to address some legal IP issues, like the new lock screen etc..
12. tward291 (Posts: 559; Member since: 14 Feb 2012)
the oems are not moving fast enough to push ics. I think this is pissing off google because they feell like they need to push another huge update to compete with windows 8,and ios new updates this year
14. bayusuputra (Posts: 963; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
not only the OEMs, but carriers as well.. they have to put their bloatwares and stuff, making it even longer for a device to be updated..
but by the time JB (oh, no, that looks like Justin Bieber..) arrives, almost all phones would be out of warranty already and many can choose to just root..
18. Bluesky02 (Posts: 1439; Member since: 05 Dec 2011)
Something we notice
- New Android Phone release with latest Gingerbread (Later getting ICS update).
Which imply most release phone still comes with Gingerbread. And now we're already talking about Jelly Bean. I mean come on Google give us a break. Let Ice Cream Sandwich flow smoothly this year.
32. tward291 (Posts: 559; Member since: 14 Feb 2012)
i dont understand why phones are still launching with GB with the update coming in 2 to 3 months to ics BS just launch the fuking with ICS
33. vivek.ray (Posts: 22; Member since: 08 Apr 2011)
No disrespect to people shelling out upto $500 in favor of OS development , but yeah it hurts to know that the new phone I held today will be outdated few weeks later .
Also w/o any possible future for upgrades as its very hard for my OEM to develop a ugly skin and implement it on latest iteration of OS .
Google should now improve ICS to such extent that all Gingerbreads's , h/w qualified , are upgraded to 4.x , later they may introduce 5th version .

Updated: October 6, 2010
A naturalized American citizen from Pakistan who warned that "the defeat of the U.S. is imminent" has been sentenced to life in prison for trying to detonate a car bomb in Times Square.
On October 5, 2010, Faisal Shahzad, 31, was sentenced to life in prison for attempting to detonate an explosives-laden car in Times Square five months earlier. "Brace yourselves, because the war with Muslims has just begun," Shahzad warned the judge during his sentencing. "Either you are with the mujahideen [Muslim warriors] or with the crusading Jews and Christians."
Shahzad also threatened that "the defeat of the U.S. is imminent" and that "we will keep on terrorizing you until you leave our lands."
Shahzad, who has described himself as a "Muslim soldier," pleaded guilty in June 2010 to all charges of the 10-count indictment filed against him, including attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, attempted act of terrorism transcending national boundaries and attempted destruction of property by fire and explosive.
"I'm going to plead guilty 100 times over," Shahzad said, "because until the hour the U.S. pulls its forces from Iraq and Afghanistan, and stops the drone strikes in Somalia and Yemen and in Pakistan, and stops the occupation of Muslim lands, and stops killing the Muslims, and stops reporting the Muslims to its government, we will be attacking U.S., and I plead guilty to that."
Shahzad was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport on May 3, 2010, while trying to fly to Pakistan. He was charged in a criminal complaint filed the following day and in an indictment returned by a federal jury in New York on June 17, 2010.
Shahzad has admitted leaving an SUV filled with a fertilizer-based bomb packed in a metal box in Times Square on May 1, 2010. Also in the car, which he purchased from a Connecticut woman three weeks prior to the attempted attack, were gasoline canisters and propane tanks rigged with fireworks.
Shahzad told the court that he received bomb-making training in December 2009 from Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the Pakistani Taliban, in Waziristan, an Al Qaeda and Taliban stronghold which serves as a center for launching attacks against U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan. During the 40 days he spent in Waziristan, Shahzad made a "pact" with his trainers to "wage an attack inside the United States of America."
While in Pakistan, Shahzad was reportedly introduced to Qari Hussain, commander of TTP who trains suicide bombers. Shahzad returned to the U.S. in February 2010 with $5,000 from TTP, and, during the next two months, received $12,000 in cash from unnamed co-conspirators in Pakistan whom he believed worked for TTP.
Leaders of TTP claimed responsibility for the attempted bombing as revenge for the April killings of Al Qaeda's two top leaders in Iraq, as well as for U.S. interference in Muslim countries. Shahzad admitted that he attempted to detonate the explosives in New York as retribution for U.S. military activities in Muslim countries. "It's a war," Shahzad told the court, adding "I am part of that. I am part of the answer to the U.S. terrorizing the Muslim nations and the Muslim people, and on behalf of that, I'm revenging the attacks."
In July 2010, TTP released a video featuring Shahzad, entitled, "A Brave Effort by Faisal Shahzad to Attack United States in its own Land." In the video, which was recorded in Pakistan six months prior to the attempted bombing in Times Square, Shahzad explained that he has been planning to join his "brothers in jihad" since the September 11 terrorist attacks. He also urged other Muslims in the West to follow his example. "It is not difficult at all to wage an attack on the West, and specifically in the U.S., and completely defeat them," Shahzad said. "Get up and learn from me and make an effort."
In the video, Shahzad claimed that an "attack on the United States will also be a revenge attack for all the mujahideen [Muslim warriors] and the muhajireen [emigrants] and the weak and oppressed people of Muslims [sic]." Shahzad also admitted that he was seeking revenge for the deaths of Beitullah Mehsud, the former leader of TTP who was killed in August 2009, and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the former leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq who was killed in an airstrike in June 2006.
Shahzad also appeared in a video alongside Hakimullah Mehsud, the current leader of TTP, threatening that "we are planning to wage an attack on your side."
Prior to the attempted bombing in Times Square, Shahzad stayed in regular contact with members of TTP through software programs that they had installed on his laptop while he was training with them in Pakistan. For three months prior to the attempted attack, Shahzad also monitored Times Square through live video feeds online to determine "which areas of Times Square drew the largest crowds and the times when those areas would be most crowded," according to court documents.
Law enforcement officials have alleged that the explosives would have sprayed shrapnel and metal parts, killing pedestrians, had they not been dismantled. Shahzad later admitted that he specifically targeted pedestrians because they would be easier to kill than people driving in vehicles.
According to authorities, Shahzad also considered attacking other targets, including Rockefeller Center, Grand Central Terminal, the World Financial Center and a Connecticut-based defense contractor that manufactures helicopters for the U.S. military. Shahzad told federal authorities that he was prepared to conduct more attacks until he was captured or killed.
Shahzad reportedly told investigators he was influenced by Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Muslim cleric living in Yemen who targets English-speaking Muslim audiences with radical online lectures that encourage attacks against the West and non-Muslims. In addition, Shahzad reportedly admitted that he was also inspired by another cleric, Abdullah al-Faisal, a Jamaica-born Muslim preacher who served four years in a British prison for urging his followers to kill non-Muslims, including Americans, Hindus and Jews. Al-Faisal is the "imam and spiritual advisor" of Revolution Muslim (RM), a New York-based anti-Semitic organization that justifies terrorist attacks and other forms of violence against non-Muslims.
Following his arrest, federal officials searched Shahzad's apartment in Bridgeport, Connecticut, where he lived with a roommate. He previously lived with his wife and two children in Shelton, Connecticut, for three years before his family returned to Pakistan.
In a 2006 email to a group of friends, Shahzad expressed anger about American troops in Muslim countries, saying "followers of Islam are attacked and occupied by foreign infidel forces." He also wondered how Muslims should fight back when "rockets are fired at us and Muslim blood flows? In Palestine, Afghan, Iraq, Chechnya and else where." In the same email, Shahzad warned, "The crusade has already started against Islam and Muslims with cartoons of our beloved Prophet PBUH as War drums."
Shahzad, who was born in Pakistan, gained U.S. citizenship in April 2009. He was previously granted a student visa in 1998 and attended Southern University in Washington, D.C. before transferring to the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut, where he received a degree in computer science and engineering. Shahzad, who was granted a workers' visa in 2002, also completed a Masters degree in Business Administration.
Long Island resident Mohammad Younis, 44, was arrested in September 2010 for illegally operating a hawala system, which transfers money across borders using a network of individuals on an honor code instead of banks with traceable records, between the U.S. and Pakistan. While one of the transfers allegedly facilitated the attempted Times Square bombing, federal authorities have alleged that Younis was unaware of the intended use of the funds.
In addition, three Pakistani men were arrested in Boston and Portland in connection with the investigation. The three men - Aftab Ali Khan, Pir Khan and Mohammad Shafiq Rahman – all married American women and have been arrested by immigration officials. They have not been charged on terrorism offenses.
Pakistani officials have detained one man in Karachi in connection with the case. At least four others have reportedly been detained in Pakistan for questioning. Among those detained in Pakistan are Tauhid Ahmed, who reportedly communicated with Shahzad via email, and Muhammad Rehan, who told investigators that he and Shahzad traveled to Peshawar, Pakistan, for three weeks in July 2009. Rehan was arrested at a mosque reportedly linked to Pakistani-based terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed.

Throughout the years we have received positive comments on our cakes from many well-known persons.
Narcai David, Ann Landers, The Chicago Tribune, and Carmel Magazine have all published glowing reviews.
""When you forwarded that article describing how the monks of the New Camaldoli Hermitage are coping with their financial crisis, you claimed that their fruitcake is the best fruitcake in the world. I thought you were exaggerating. Not now! This stuff is preternaturally delectable! It's not just the best fruitcake in the world, it's the best fruitcake in the known universe. I love the way it sticks to everything, leaving brandy prints on breadboards, plates, fingers, clothing, you name it. And surprisingly, the list of ingredients shows that this celestial cake made by meditative Christians is better nutritionally too, compared to the vast majority of desserts."
" Vance Aandahl
"I shared it with my colleagues at a station meeting.
At first they were hesitant but after they got a whiff of brandy,
they were eating out of my hand :)" Becca
"I don't even like fruitcake, and avoid it at all costs. But I was given a free sample, and I'll probably stop only when the samples run out." E. B.
"Your gourmet fruitcake tastes just like my mother in England used to make - delicious!" L. H. UK
"Best I ever tasted." L.A.R. Port Huron, MI
"Delicious! A favorite! You are going to love it!" Narsai David, CBS food critic

GPS accessories help you get the best performance from your GPS systems. Whether you are tracking a teen driver's speed or monitoring a fleet of professional delivery trucks, you don't want to lose important location data because a battery went dead or your GPS unit was damaged or lost due to a lack of proper protection. Simple, affordable accessories like cases, mounts and adapters can prevent these problems and others, so you don't have to worry about suddenly losing track of your target or having to replace an expensive device.
A number of personal and professional situations require undisclosed vehicle tracking. Monitoring a vehicle's whereabouts can reveal a spouse's infidelity, an employee's abuse of company resources or the exact location of sensitive or dangerous materials, so the equipment used to provide essential data needs to be reliable. Accessories designed to enhance and protect vehicle tracking devices make it easier to keep your operation running smoothly. When you attach GPS systems to vehicle exteriors, you expose them to extreme temperatures, rain, snow and hail. Water damage and blunt force can easily damage a sensitive electronic device. While some trackers are weather-proof, others require protection. GPS cases, which are often designed for specific models, provide protection against moisture infiltration, dust, wind and accidental impact. Magnetic mounts attach GPS units securely to metal surfaces; this allows discreet placement for effective covert tracking. Read more.
BrickHouse Security also offers a variety of useful accessories for powering GPS systems. Additional chargers and batteries ensure that your device is always functioning when you meed it most. If you need a maintenance-free power option for your Spark Nano, a hardwire adapter can connect it to a permanent power source such as a generator or compressor. GPS accessories can even help professionals in the construction industry. The weather-resistant MobileLock Equipment Direct Power Supply lets you monitor heavy equipment like tractors and backhoes without having to recharge batteries. When you equip your BrickHouse tracking devices with the best GPS accessories, you'll enjoy the best possible performance and the security of knowing where your vehicles and loved ones are at all times.

The Curve are making a bad habit out of wasting good starting pitching.
The club has scored just three runs in its past three games - all losses - and clutch hitting has been virtually non-existent. The struggles continued Sunday afternoon in a 4-2 loss to Harrisburg before 3,043 fans at Peoples Natural Gas Field.
"Right now it's not going our way, simple as that," Curve manager Carlos Garcia said.

Gift Ngoepe makes a catch in front of Curve teammate Andy Vazquez.
It's the same offense that scored nine runs in one inning last week at Akron in a 14-run explosion, but the offense was anything but explosive over the weekend in scoring just the three runs in 28 innings to drop three in a row.
The Curve have stayed in games thanks to strong starting pitching, and they got another good outing Sunday from Tyler Waldron. The right-hander gave up two runs on six hits in six innings but was saddled with the loss.
"Pitching and offense, they're both contagious," Waldron said.
Fact Box
Covering the bases
LEADING OFF: RHP Brandon Cumpton was called up to Triple-A Indianapolis and is expected to start tonight's game at Toledo. Indianapolis needs a starter because RHP Phil Irwin was called up to pitch for the Pirates on Sunday.
SAFE AT FIRST: Cumpton was 12-11 with a 3.84 ERA last season and finished second in the Eastern League in wins last year. But he struggled in two starts this season, going 0-1 with a 7.45 ERA. Cumpton was scheduled to start tonight for the Curve, but that assignment will now go to RHP David Bromberg, who was just placed on the active roster Saturday.
STEALING SECOND: 3B Adalberto Santos returned to the lineup Sunday after suffering a minor quadriceps injury Tuesday at Akron. He missed games Thursday and Friday before pinch hitting Saturday.
ROUNDING THIRD: LF Andrew Lambo went old school with his walk-up music Sunday, using "Fly Me to the Moon." He's the first Curve player ever to use a Frank Sinatra song for his walk-up music. "Some guys like little rah-rah songs, gets them going, have their favorite song," Lambo said. "I like to kind of calm down when I get there and have a nice little soothing song."
HEADING HOME: Richmond comes to town for a three-game series beginning tonight. Wednesday's game is the first school kids day of the season, with a 10:30 a.m. start time.
- Cory Giger
Getting them both contagious in a good way was the Curve's issue against Harrisburg.
"[The Senators] have decent pitching," Garcia said. "I don't want to give all the credit to them, but I mean, they're throwing the ball very well keeping our hitters off balance for the most part."
Andy Vasquez homered for the Curve in the third to tie the game at 1-1, but Harrisburg took the lead for good with a run off Waldron (0-2) in the fifth. The Senators added two big insurance runs off reliever Ethan Hollingsworth in the seventh for a 4-1 lead.
The Curve didn't go quietly in the ninth, thanks in large part to Charlie Cutler, who manufactured his own run. He singled, swiped second, took third on a groundout and came home on a sacrifice fly by Drew Maggi.
Altoona continued to battle, with Vasquez reaching on an error and Jarek Cunningham drawing a two-out walk to put the tying runs on base. That brought up Matt Curry, a proven Double-A hitter who worked a 3-0 count against Senators reliever Marcos Frias.
Curry is a left-handed hitter against Frias, a righty, and the Curve had another lefty on deck in Andrew Lambo. Garcia decided to give Curry the 3-0 green light to see if he could put a charge into one.
Curry didn't get a good swing on the pitch and grounded to shortstop for a game-ending forceout at second.
"I'm trying to find out who can be able to hit in 3-0," Garcia said.
That's the learning process taking place early in the season for both the manager and the Curve players as they get to know each other and understand strengths and tendencies. Garcia said he respects Curry's "effort and his knowledge of the game" to see if he could deliver in that spot.
"Definitely he's got to look for a pitch that he can drive," Garcia said. "I don't expect at 3-0 to hit a groundball to shortstop."
Frias earned his first save for the Senators, while starter Brian Broderick (1-0) picked up win after allowing one run on three hits in five innings.
The Curve collected seven hits, with Cutler's 3-for-4 leading the way, but they stranded 10 on base.
"The only thing we can do is come back [today], have a good, positive attitude through the workout and try to stay positive and try to play a better nine-inning game," Garcia said.
One thing that has to be helping the hitters is knowing the pitching staff is capable of keeping the team in the game every day. The Curve are tied for second in the Eastern League with a 3.78 team ERA, and they're just barely behind Erie (3.76) for the top spot.
One of the big keys has been the starters avoiding early troubles so they can go deep into games.
"It builds our confidence, and at the same time, it helps out our bullpen," Waldron said. "We've yet to have a starter get knocked out of a game early, so it's keeping our entire staff live, ready to go.
"I think for [the offense] too it's confidence knowing that our guys are for real on the mound every fifth day and we're going to go deep into the game."
SUBHD: Game recap
Key player: Harrisburg CF Brian Goodwin went 3-for-5 with three runs.
Key play: RBI singles by SS Jose Lozada and 3B Anthony Rendon gave the Senators a 4-1 lead in the seventh.

Two lengths of cooper water pipe were removed Sunday from a home at 100 Reiman St., causing water to flood the rear of the house and damage floors, Ferry-Fillmore District police said.
The damage was reported in the early afternoon, but the water may have been running since midnight, according to a tenant who was planning to move out of the house anyway. The landlord could not be located and there was no water shut-off valve easily accessible, officers said.

IT will be hard to believe you are not watching the real thing when the Green Day Show hits the Penrith Hotel on Friday night.
The band is committed to replicating the same atmosphere as the legends themselves, and will deliver all the big hits in their energetic live performance.
The Green Day Show's Rick Fensom, who has been on the music scene for many years, said the night would be as close to the legendary rockers as you could get.
"We're all Green Day fans and we've been in the band for a couple of years now in the city doing covers," he said.
"We try and simulate what the real band is like and we play all the hits as well as the underground stuff for more dedicated fans; we try to cater for everybody."

Maggie Meadows
I have worked in this building for almost 15 years. I call it work, but who am I kidding? This is too much fun to be called work! The only thing that sucks around here is Chris Monroe. I am not married, I don't have kids and that is how I like it. My nieces and nephews call me 'Uncle Maggie'. I love Slash, my friends, my family and tequila. I don't drink and drive, so basically I put 100 miles a year on my car. I have been lucky enough to meet a lot of great bands and great people. I do not take this gig for granted but I sure take advantage of the fun!

The following is a recap from the American Society of Hematology's 47th annual meeting held in Atlanta, Georgia on December 10–14, 2005. We have selected the major myeloma presentations for you to keep informed on the latest myeloma research that was presented.
Dr. Paul Richardson Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA
Dr. Richardson presented updated, long-term data on the APEX trial to investigate the effects of Velcade in patients with relapsed myeloma who have had at least one prior treatment regimen. Patients in the trial were randomized to receive either Velcade or dexamethasone therapy. Dr. Richardson also presented early data on the Phase I Revlimid + Velcade trial for relapsed and refractory myeloma.
Dr. Rafael Fonseca Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, AZ
Dr. Fonseca is currently studying genetic changes in myeloma plasma cells. A precise diagnosis can be made when the doctor can identify different sub-types of myeloma and their unique features. Genetic information is used to estimate prognosis and to determine the type and sequencing of therapy. Dr. Fonseca's presentation on the genetic abnormalities of patients diagnosed with MGUS or smoldering disease identifies those aberrations that can be seen prior to a myeloma diagnosis. His group is studying these mutations to see if there is a different risk of progression from MGUS or smoldering myeloma to active disease in patients with poor-risk or good-risk mutations.
Dr. Antonio Palumbo Ospedale San Giovanni Battista, Turin, Italy
Dr. Palumbo began studying the combination of melphalan/prednisone/thalidomide (MPT) more than four years ago in the population of patients who were ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant (those over 65 years if age). His randomized clinical trial comparing MPT with standard MP (melphalan/prednisone) demonstrated a significant increase in the rate of overall response, with an incidence of complete response at approximately 25% in the MPT group. The duration of response was almost twice as long with MPT than with MP. Longer follow-up is needed to determine if there is an overall survival advantage with MPT. Side effects included the significant 25% rate of deep vein thrombosis in the MPT group.
Dr. Sundar Jagannath St. Vincent's Comprehensive Cancer Center, New York, NY
Dr. Jagannath's presentation concerned a multi-center trial for newly diagnosed myeloma patients receiving frontline therapy with Velcade. Patients received Velcade alone for two cycles, and if they did not demonstrate a response, dexamethasone was added. Ten percent of the patients receiving Velcade alone in the first two cycles achieved complete remission (CR). At the end of six cycles of therapy with Velcade alone or Velcade plus dexamethasone, 90% of the patients had at least a 50% reduction in their M-protein and 19% were in CR. Most of the patients went on to have autologous stem cell transplantation. These patients are being followed for relapse and survival rates.
Dr. Brian Van Ness University of Minnesota, Institute of Human Genetics, Minneapolis, MN
Dr. Van Ness presented his current work with the IMF Bank On A Cure program's genetic data. His strategy has been to look at genetic variation and its relationship to therapeutic response. Dr. Van Ness is particularly interested in variations in response to drugs and in toxicities from drugs. He has identified 3500 genetic variations (single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that influence risk and therapeutic response. From a candidate list of some 30,000 genes, he is isolating those that are significant in myeloma patients' responses, finding genes that contribute not only to increased risk (a high-producer IL-6 gene, for example), but to survival (the GST gene that repairs DNA). Thus far work has been done on a number of other SNPs, including those that are responsible for drug metabolism and transport, for levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), and for tumor angiogenesis. A computer chip has been customized to examine more globally the 3500 SNPs and their association with myeloma.
Dr. Thierry Facon Centre Hospitalier Regional Universitaire de Lille, Lille, France
Dr. Facon presented an interim analysis of the ongoing Intergroup Francais du Myelome (IFN) 99-06 clinical trial comparing melphalan–prednisone (MP), melphalan-prednisone-thalidomide (MPT), and stem cell transplant with reduced-dose-chemotherapy (melphalan 100 mg/m2) in 436 newly diagnosed myeloma patients, aged 65-75 years. MPT produced the best progression-free survival and overall survival. There were concerns with toxicity issues that required dose adjustment or discontinuation of therapy, but Dr. Facon concludes that MPT is currently the treatment of choice for the elderly newly diagnosed. He is also encouraged by early studies of MP+Velcade and MP+Revlimid that are also likely to be good combinations for treatment of elderly myeloma patients.
Dr. Pieter Sonneveld Erasmus University, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Dr. Sonneveld studied single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) collected from patient tissue samples in a large, multi-center, randomized, single versus double autologous transplant clinical trial that concluded in 1999. Dr. Sonneveld's particular area of investigation is the SNPs of proteins involved in drug metabolism and drug resistance. The ultimate goal of his research, which is being done in conjunction with the IMF's Bank On A Cure DNA study, is to identify groups of patients according to their response to treatment, the treatment-related toxicities they manifest, and their overall survival. He has isolated the MDR (multi-drug resistance) and GCP‑1 genes as conferring poor risk, and the C3A5 genetic mutation as one that confers better event-free survival, time to progression, and overall survival. The study is ongoing and will require meta-analysis of the HOVON clinical trials group data.
Dr. Heinz Ludwig Wilhelminenspital, Vienna, Austria
Dr. Ludwig's major presentations at ASH concerned two studies: the first was of clinical features and outcomes in 259 myeloma patients younger than 40 years versus 8,296 patients older than 40 years; the second was of thalidomide/dexamethasone (thal/dex) versus melphalan/prednisone (MP) as first-line therapy in elderly patients with myeloma. The first study employed the 10,611-patient database used to establish the International Staging System for myeloma. The second presentation was the interim analysis of an ongoing trial of thal/dex versus MP in 205 elderly (median age 72), newly diagnosed patients with myeloma.
Dr. Jamie Cavenagh St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London, England
Dr. Cavenagh continued to report on his ongoing trial combining Velcade, Adriamycin, and dexamethasone (PAD) in previously untreated myeloma. Among this group of younger (median age 61 years) patients, there was a 95% response rate (³50% reduction in monoclonal protein) before stem cell transplant, and an 81% very good partial response rate (>50% but £90% reduction in monoclonal protein) following transplant with (PAD) as frontline therapy. A second presentation of Dr. Cavenagh's involved combining Velcade with melphalan in patients with relapsed/refractory disease. The Phase I/II multi-center study was done to establish the maximum tolerated dose, safety, and effectiveness of this combination. Velcade appears to be effective in combination with chemotherapy in both the up front and relapse situations.
Dr. Joseph McGuirk Kansas City Blood and Marrow Transplant Program, Kansas City, MO
Dr. McGuirk reported on the first 70 patients enrolled in the AMD-3100 compassionate use program for poor stem cell mobilizers in need of stem cell harvest prior to autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT). The patients had non-Hodgkins lymphoma, leukemia, myeloma, or solid tumors. They were given a combination of GCSF (granulocyte colony stimulating factor) and AMD-3100 to promote generation of stem cells for harvesting. 60% of the enrolled patients, all of whom had been previously unable to mobilize stem cells, were successfully harvested and moved on to SCT. According to Dr. McGuirk, this is a potentially live-saving combination that produces minimal toxicity.
Dr. Shaji Kumar Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
Dr. Kumar presented the results of two studies at Mayo. The first was a gene expression study conducted on 50 patients who were randomized to receive either thalidomide and dexamethasone (30 patients) or dexamethasone alone (20 patients). Dr. Kumar's second presentation concerned the use of the free light chain (FLC) assay to assess disease and response to therapy, particularly in oligosecretory and non-secretory patients.
Dr. Jesus San Miguel University Hospital of Salamanca, Salamanca, Spain
Dr. San Miguel presented interim data on the ongoing PETHEMA study of melphalan, prednisone, and Velcade in elderly, previously untreated myeloma patients. A second presentation by Dr. San Miguel concerned the rate of peripheral neuropathy in the APEX Velcade trial. Dr. San Miguel also presented preliminary data from a Phase I/II study in patients with relapsed/refractory myeloma of the novel therapy Aplidin, which is a marine-derived molecule with a novel mechanism of action.
Dr. Michael Wang MD Anderson Cancer Center—Houston, TX
Dr. Wang presented data on a Phase I dose escalation multi-center clinical trial with the new drug Atiprimod for patients with relapsed/refractory myeloma. Atiprimod is a small molecule that inhibits angiogenesis (blood vessel formation at the site of the cancer cells) and promotes apoptosis (programmed cell death). Thus far side effects have been tolerable and none have been severe. No maximum tolerated dose has been achieved. Results have been encouraging as researchers continue to define a dose that will be effective in producing significant responses and will be safe and well tolerated.
Dr. Ravi Vij Washington University Hospital, St. Louis, MO
Dr. Vij presented four posters based on a clinical trial using Velcade as both induction and consolidation therapy before and after transplant (peri-transplant). The first presentation concerned the use of GCSF alone in successful mobilization of stem cells—Dr. Vij and colleagues were the first to document this procedure in patients who went on to successfully harvest stem cells and undergo transplant. The second presentation dealt with markers of immune function and immune modulation after the use of Velcade in the peri-transplant setting. Dr. Vij et al. noted substantial decreases in CD8 cells and in the CD8 to CD4 ration, indicating Velcade's pronounced immunomodulatory activity. His third poster concerned the increased incidence of herpes zoster (shingles) with Velcade in the peri-transplant setting. Dr. Vij's final presentation concerned the effect of Velcade on markers of bone resorption.
Dr. Angela Dispenzieri Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
Dr. Dispenzieri presented data on a pre-clinical mouse study with the combination of Velcade and the radiopharmaceutical Quadramet (153 samarium EDTMP). A previous Mayo study in which Dr. Dispenzieri was involved examined the use of Quadramet along with zoledronic acid to reduce bone pain in myeloma patients. Fourteen months out, the patients continue to have long-term improvement in pain. Even more significantly, of the 8 patients involved in that study, 4 achieved at least a 25% reduction in their M-protein. This led Dr. Dispenzieri to go further with Quadramet by combining it with an effective anti-myeloma agent and assess the results. In vitro studies of Velcade and Quadramet demonstrated synergy between the two drugs. In Dr. Dispenzieri's mouse study, survival more than doubled in the mice who received both drugs. Two new clinical trials have thus been proposed: one with Quadramet alone, to determine both myeloma response and pain response, and one with Quadramet and Velcade in combination.
NOTE: Webcasts from ASH 2005 are available on the IMF website www.myeloma.org. They include interviews with myeloma researchers, ASH 2005 presentations and posters, and a CME-accredited program, New Agents and New Opportunities for Multiple Myeloma—Today and Tomorrow, which brought together leading experts to discuss changing clinical practice in the context of new agents and new discoveries. We hope you will find this material informative and useful.

Breier's D3 Quarter Finals Preview
I don't like these mid week games but if you're going to have more teams, it's necessary to squeeze it in prior to Memorial Day. On a little rant here, I don't feel that it's right for the D1 teams to have to play 2 games in 3 days. You prepare for games on Saturday with only a couple during the week over the course of a season. A fluke injury or crazy weather conditions can cause you a championship.
Okay, rant over.
It's crazy that 3 out of the 4 match ups have seen each other already this season and that this will be the third meeting between Wesleyan/Middlebury and Salisbury/Stevenson.
Defense is said to win championships and it's more evident this year than ever. Roanoke dominated offensively with a pretty weak schedule all season and were taken down handidly by the #2 defense in the land of Denison. 7/8 teams are in the Top 20 defenses (based on GA). Middlebury is the only one still around still not on the list.
Western New England @ Cortland
Cortland dominated WNE way back in February. Has anything changed since then?
WNE's season was a good one. With their only losses coming to playoff bound Cortland and Tufts. Their big wins against playoff caliber teams were against Naz and Springfield.
Cortland started out their season dominating playoff teams like WNE, Montclair and Gettysburg, but then they seemed to take a nap and go through the motions until May came around again. They lost two tight ones to Ithaca and Geneseo and a feel good win in between to Naz. But maybe it's just common now to watch them stampede through the bulk of their schedule.

Wesleyan @ Middlebury
The first of two conference rivalries to meet in the Elite 8. Middlebury is 14-2 so far this season with two losses thanks to Wesleyan. Both games were decided by one goal and the 2nd was a goal infested 15-14 game!
In a comparison of the two, both have senior laden rosters at key positions and both are truly tested after a tough NESCAC schedule. Take a look at the attack units of these two teams! It's tough to point out any flaws except, that 2/3 of Wesleyan's losses came to weaker opponents (Bowdoin, Williams).

These two did not face each other in 09. Both took down OWU (Denison twice) and both teams got beat by Stevenson. Gettysburg has turned their season around since then so that cannot be the deciding factor.
Against playoff teams, Denison had only played two, the aforementioned OWU and Stevenson games. Gettysburg faced both of those as well and 5 others losing to Cortland and Haverford, then beat Haverford Cabrini and Salisbury
Attack - ADV Gettysburg
Midfield - ADV Denison

Salisbury @ Stevenson
No need to compare like opponents in this grudge match. Having faced similar foe all year and this will be the third meeting, we're in for a good one. If Salisbury plays like they did in their first match up, game to Stevenson. If Stevenson plays like they did in the second match up, game to Salisbury. If both teams play the way they did when they won…well.

Effort to Stop Washington's Yoga Tax Fails
Sorry Washington. Looks like the downward dog is getting upward taxes.
Despite a strong showing of yogis and fitness enthusiasts at the D.C. City Council chamber this morning, a proposed amendment to delay implementation of the so-called yoga tax failed on a vote of 9-4 ahead of the main budget vote.
The yoga tax was the subject of a page one article in The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday.
Opponents of the levy, who have styled themselves the "Don't Tax Wellness Coalition", have been leading a charge over the past three weeks to remove a proposed 5.75% sales tax on gym memberships and fitness classes, one component of a larger effort to expand the city's sales tax to cover more services. Other services that will be taxed under the new budget include car washes, tanning salons and home water delivery.
Council member David Catania, who is running as an Independent to replace outgoing Mayor Vincent Gray this November, proposed a last-ditch budget amendment that would delay implementation of the yoga tax by one year in exchange for lowering a corporate income tax more slowly.
Over 50 members of the coalition, sporting neon yellow t-shirts with large block lettering reading "Don't Tax wellness," gathered in hopes that their numbers would spur council members to take up their cause.
But their hopes were defeated after nine of the council's 13 members, sympathetic to Council Chairman Phil Mendelson's assertion that the tax increase would be far outweighed by the budget package's associated income tax cuts, swung in his favor.
Tensions peaked when council member Mary Cheh took aim at the coalition's slogans. "The only joke here is on us if we fall prey to these health club businesses and their phony labels," she argued before the amendment vote.
Several coalition members disagreed with Ms. Cheh's characterization of the opposition.
"I'm here on my own volition, I'm an active community member that happens to really like being in shape and like living a healthy lifestyle," said Daniel Mason, a member of the coalition who also attended a yoga protest on Freedom Plaza last week. "To tell me that my actions here were orchestrated – that my actions weren't my own – was rather offensive."
Opponents say they're now placing their hopes to reverse the council's vote in Mayor Gray, who has voiced frequent opposition to the tax – as well as other aspects of Mr. Mendelson's tax package.
Mr. Gray can only sign the bill into law or choose to veto it. He cannot simply deploy a line-item veto to excise the yoga tax from the budget, as the city's chief financial officer must certify any budget as balanced before it goes into effect.
Pedro Ribeiro, the mayor's spokesman, said only that the mayor has "very serious concerns, and all the options are still on the table."
But unless the mayor acts, yoga classes – as well as all other fitness-related activities – will become 5.75% more expensive come Oct. 1.

Five Takeaways From Sunday's Talk Shows on Boiling Middle East
The Sunday talk shows covered the growing unrest in the Middle East in the wake of the murders of Israeli and Palestinian teens. Here are five takeaways:
Ambassador Promises Tough Response: The Israeli ambassador to the U.S., Ron Dermer, said suspects arrested for the murder of a Palestinian youth would be "prosecuted to the full extent of the law." In an appearance on Fox News Sunday, Mr. Dermer said Israeli authorities had "strong suspicions" the murder was carried out by Jewish nationalists. Mr. Dermer accused Palestinian authorities of celebrating murders of young Jews, while Israeli authorities were prepared to prosecute Jews involved in crimes against Palestinian youth. "That is the difference between our societies," Mr. Dermer said.
McCain Calls for Shuttle Diplomacy: Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) called on U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to visit Israel to try to settle inflamed relations between Israelis and Palestinians after recent murders of youth in the region. "This is in danger of spiraling out of control," said Mr. McCain, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "Our Secretary of State should go to the region. The U.S. could play a constructive role."
Republicans Alarmed by Baghdadi Appearance: U.S. lawmakers viewed with some alarm a video in which Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi appeared to declare himself the caliph of an Islamic state in Syria and Iraq. Previously there were only two known images of the jihadist leader. "He must feel safe in that large area they have taken control of," said Sen. John Barrasso (R., Wyo.) on Fox News Sunday. Mr. Barrasso, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the rise of ISIS was a threat to the U.S. "They have the capability and the intent to attack the United States." Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) called the Islamic group "a direct threat" to the homeland. "They are getting much stronger as we speak," he said.
Democrats Urge U.S. Caution on Troops: Sen. Richard Durbin (D., Ill.) called for U.S. authorities to take a cautious approach to rising sectarian violence in the Middle East. People in the region "are still wedded to blood feuds and sectarian violence," Mr. Durbin said. "Let's be careful." U.S. air strikes in Iraq would not solve long-simmering tensions between Shiite and Sunni Muslims, he said. "Haven't we learned our lesson after 12 years?" he said. Sen. Bob Casey (D., Pa.) said, "There's no reason to put combat troops in Iraq."
Lawmakers Critical on U.S. Approach to Syria: Lawmakers had mixed responses to the Obama administration's request for $500 million in aid to support moderate Syrian rebels. Mr. Casey said this marked "the beginning of a new approach" by the U.S. in Syria's long-running civil war, though he would have preferred more support from the U.S. sooner. Mr. McCain said, "It is not enough, unfortunately," adding the moderate Free Syrian Army is getting "badly beaten."

This kid is not going to WVU on scholarship. He is overrated big time. Have you looked at the WVU recruiting websites? They are going after 3 and 4 star talent. And, this kid is most definitely nowhere close to that kind of talent. I guess the locals must have gone and drunk the koolaid. Come on, wake up and get with reality. If he is willing to walk on WVU might take a chance with him. And that is still risky!!

Come to think of it, someone should do an investigation on how much we and other states pay to fly, feed and house at least a couple of state troopers for every road trip to the far flung Southwest.

My goodness, if the police really investigated themselves, who would be left to do motorcades for our governors and protect our brave football coaches?

The $140 million, 21-megawatt Auwahi Wind project on Ulupalakua Ranch went online Thursday, Sempra U.S. Gas & Power and BP Wind Energy announced.
"We are very pleased to complete construction of Auwahi Wind both on time and on budget," said Jeffrey W. Martin, president and chief executive officer of Sempra, the project's owner and operator. "The addition of new, clean energy from our project will be a boost for Maui's infrastructure and will help Hawaii achieve its goal of securing 40 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2030.
"This project could not have been built without the enthusiastic support of the local community, the Ulupalakua Ranch and neighbors who recognize the importance of sustainable energy."

The Auwahi Wind project on Ulupalakua Ranch land went online Thursday. The 21-megawatt project is selling power to Maui Electric Co. under the terms of a 20-year contract.
Power from the eight-turbine wind project is being sold to Maui Electric Co. under a 20-year contract. Helping to regulate the sometimes intermittent nature of wind is a 10-megawatt battery capable of storing 4.4 megawatts of power.
"The completion of the Auwahi Wind facility is yet another huge milestone in our quest for a clean energy future for Hawaii," said Maui Electric President Sharon Suzuki. "This project is a testament to collaboration and partnerships on all levels from Ulupalakua Ranch and our Maui community to Sempra and BP Wind."
Construction of the wind farm on Ulupalakua Ranch began in March and involved more than 180 workers. Since September, special traffic arrangements had to be approved as "superloads" were hauled from Kahului to the Ulupalakua site.
Auwahi Wind will employ four full-time employees.
The ranch is leasing 5,280 acres of ranch land in the Auwahi area to Sempra for the wind farm, a win-win for the ranch and Sempra and BP, said Sumner Erdman, president of Ulupalakua Ranch.
"BP and Sempra U.S. Gas & Power have been terrific partners," said Erdman. "The Auwahi project protects the environment, maximizes wind as a renewable energy resource and allows us to maintain the rural open space and grazing areas necessary for us to raise our cattle."
Erdman has said that the lease arrangement helps the cattle ranch diversify its revenue as it struggles to deal with drought losses of cattle.
Sempra officials have said that the wind blows consistently about 22 mph at the Auwahi site on the southeastern flank of Haleakala. Only 7 mph winds are needed to produce energy from the 428-foot wind turbines.
The 21 megawatts produced by the joint venture between Sempra and BP will be enough to power 10,000 typical Maui homes, a news release said.

When it comes to GM, it's hard to remove its financial predicament from news of its tech developments. However, assuming that it can survive, GM has approved production of the Cadillac Converj according to a recent report.
Though some have poked fun at the name, the Converj has been quite popular ever since it was introduced as a Volt-derivative plug-in Cadillac concept at the North American International Auto Show 2009 in January. The model seemed a logical move -- the Volt's production price is well above that of an average Chevy, but closer to that of a luxury brand model -- like a Cadillac. By essentially re-releasing the Volt with luxury styling, the cost of deploying the Volt could be offset somewhat with an even pricier model under the Cadillac umbrella.
The vehicle has received official go-ahead from GM according a report from Motor Trend. GM reportedly plans to unleash it on the roads in 2011 making it a 2012 model year vehicle. Sources say that the Converj could even be the first profitable electric vehicle -- a major victory for GM, and a big boost in getting federal approval of their revised restructuring/bailout proposal, due June 1.
The source at GM says that the Converj will be followed up by a people-mover/crossover utility based on the Voltec (Volt) architecture.
A GM spokesperson denied both comments, saying that no changes had been made with the Converj or other models. However, Motor Trend stands by its source, stating. The publication points out that the drivetrain (lithium-ion battery pack and 1.4L four-cylinder engine) could be largely reused from the Volt, with more battery mass added to give it more power. The main work would be working an all-new sheetmetal and interior.
The new production model will reportedly be a two-door coupe, like the concept. This is different from the 4-door with hidden handles version that retiring product chief Bob Lutz suggested. The height of the production vehicle will also have to be tweaked to make production financially feasible.
The source says that they believe the Buick brand is a likely target for the people-mover. GMC is another branding possibility. The Voltec CUV would have two to three rows of seats
GM is continuing to make efforts to grow its profitable brands as it reluctantly agrees to kill other ones, as part of its restructuring -- including Saturn, Saab, and Hummer, according current expectations and reports. GM has also entered into a partnership with Segway to release new light electric two-wheelers for urban streets.

quote: Everyone should know that cars should be able to get 200 mpg by now.
quote: Are you an engineer? Have you ever tried to get something past safety regulations?

quote: A larger could allow a bigger Generator thus charging the Battery pack in less time.
quote: The only time that a turbo engine is as efficient as a N/A one is off the boost and if that is the case there's no point adding the turbo!

Chris Latham's blank gaze was frozen. His eyes were fixed upon the bench where U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel had just sentenced him to spend the next 10 years of his life behind bars.
The case
Chris Latham and Wendy Moore were both found guilty of federal charges involving a murder-for-hire scheme targeting Latham's wife at the time, Nancy Cannon.
In February, a jury found Latham guilty of use of interstate commerce facilities in a commission of murder-for-hire.
Moore was found guilty of use of interstate commerce facilities in a commission of murder-for-hire, conspiracy to use interstate commerce facilities in a commission of a murder-for-hire, possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence and solicitation to commit murder-for-hire.
The plot-to-kill was foiled before any harm could come to Cannon when a co-defendant, Aaron Wilkinson, 40, of Louisville, Ky., confessed to police in April 2013.
Wilkinson told authorities Moore's ex-husband, Samuel Yenawine, who he had known from their time in prison together, involved him to help in the plot-to-kill Cannon.
Moore had provided Yenawine and Wilkinson a "hit package" that included photos of Latham's estranged wife and information about her whereabouts, according to authorities.
Wilkinson is now serving a four-year prison sentence for his role in the case.
Yenawine, 38, killed himself in his Georgetown County jail cell while awaiting trial.
The former bank executive wore striped jail garb, handcuffs and shackles with a pair of reading glasses perched upon his head.
During the more than hour-long hearing in a downtown Charleston courtroom Tuesday attorneys, family and friends had hashed out all the reasons to keep Latham behind bars and reasons to give him mercy.
Ultimately, Gergel imposed the maximum punishment possible for Latham, who is accused of taking part in a plan to have his estranged wife at the time killed and who was convicted of aiding and abetting his girlfriend, Wendy Moore, in the scheme.
Latham's first words
Chris Latham had remained publicly silent about his arrest. His attorney, Steve Schmutz, denied several requests for an interview with The Post and Courier.
That silence was at times agonizing and unbearable for the 51-year-old Charleston man who told the judge there was much that needed to be said.
"To say the last 16 months were the most challenging of my life would be a vast understatement," he said.
Latham acknowledged the pain his ex-wife, Nancy Cannon, and his daughters, Emily and Madison, had been through but denied taking any part or knowledge of the murder-for-hire scheme targeting Nancy while the pair went through a contentious divorce in 2013.
"I want to be crystal clear," Latham said. "I am 100 percent innocent."
Latham said he could never hurt his girls or Nancy, who he referred to as the once love of his life and said he'd lived an honest life.
"Even though I stand here before you in these stripes and shackles, I know this day does not define who Chris Latham is," he said. "I'm a good person."
Support and disgust
Friends and family of Chris Latham addressed the court and spoke words of support about the man they said they knew well.
Bill Lemacks, one of Latham's best friends, said the crime was out of character for the man who spent his life giving back to the community serving food to the homeless.
Latham's mother, Dot, described her commitment to her son, whom she and her husband traveled more than 300 miles a week to visit while he's been imprisoned the last year.
She said her son was a victim who lost his career, freedom and "most of all, the love of his daughters."
"Chris wants to be a part of his daughters' lives," she said.
Chris Latham's daughters, however, expressed no desire to be part of their father's life.
"I'm disgusted I have to call this man my father," Madison Latham told the judge. "A father is supposed to protect his daughters from evil."
Her sister, Emily, said all the positive things her father has done in the community don't erase his actions against her and her family.
"I keep hearing what a great person my dad is, but that's what he wanted them to see," she told the judge.
Emily Latham described the tumultuous relationship her parents had behind closed doors.
"There was so much malice between them and it was so unaddressed," she said. Emily Latham's final words to the judge were an insight into her fears - afraid her father will never reconcile his actions and that he will continue living in denial.
With those last words, Chris Latham lowered his head with a sigh as his daughter walked away from the podium back to her mother's side without a glance his way.
Gergel knows this case well. He presided over the three-week trial in February of Latham and his codefendant and girlfriend, who authorities contend was the mastermind of the scheme to have Cannon killed. The pair also worked together at a Charleston bank.
During the sentencing hearing, Latham's attorney, Schmutz, spoke about Latham's character and hard-working background, but Gergel wanted to know more. Gergel said he wanted insight to explain this crime.
"I don't really know what happened," Schmutz said. "The circumstances of this case were just immersed in a divorce case."
Gergel concurred Latham's life, rising from a mill village in the Upstate to a banking executive, is remarkable.
"But it's also remarkable he would participate in such a scheme," Gergel said.
Nathan Williams, one of the assistant U.S. attorneys who prosecuted the case, said Latham's inability to reconcile his conduct makes him more dangerous.
Along with the 10-year sentence, Latham was ordered to pay about $1,500 of restitution. Upon his release from prison, Latham will serve three years of supervised release.
"I wasn't surprised, but I was disappointed," Schmutz said after the hearing.
Schmutz requested Latham serve his sentence at the Pensacola, Fla., prison facility.
Moore is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday morning.
Following the hearing, Cannon said she wasn't surprised to hear her ex-husband denying taking part in the crime for which he was convicted.
Inside the courtroom, the Charleston woman had expressed her turmoil and pain. She told the judge she still lives in fear for her life.
"I'm asking you to put him as far away from us as possible," Cannon pleaded to the court.
Cannon said she's terrified that Latham will somehow one day carry out the plan meant for her demise, one that never came to fruition, but that came too close for comfort.
"I want you to think about what they wanted to happen," Cannon told the judge as she began to describe what could have happened, what still tortures her thoughts.
She described the scenario: the hired "hit man" wandering through her home at night while she and her daughter slept, making his way into her bedroom armed with a handgun.
"If I was lucky when he walked in, when he shot me he would have killed me instantly. The worst case scenario, what I have nightmares about is that when he shoots me, I don't die immediately, but have to listen as my daughter screams at the gunshot that kills her," Cannon said and then paused as she looked at the judge. "Ten years is not enough."

Hey guys, if you haven't yet read the post from Ken, he has decided to end this fantastic site. First and foremost, I'd like to thank him for this invaluable resource. I know us Australians weren't as prevalent on here as our overseas cousins, however, I learned a great deal of general BJ information from numerous members here. I made several excellent contacts, some of whom I still talk to today and actively play AP BJ with. To the many Aussie players I have come to know through here, Rory, AussiePlayer, StudiodeKadent, and the others I haven't spoken to in a while, thanks for the help and advice over the years. I still think it would be great of us to keep in touch regarding conditions in Australia, playing stories and sharing other important information. Would you guys want to move to another BJ forum? If so, any in mind? Or perhaps we could share e-mails? I already have a few. Let us know what you think before it shuts down on Monday.
Peace out, BJinfo.

What is your current graduate position at Volvo Group?
My current position is in the marketing team, I have had the pleasure of moving around the business and undertaking shorter projects and assignments for various departments. Right now I am working with a team on a Commercial Vehicle Show that takes place every year in the UK, featuring everything from truck, van and trailer manufacturers to equipment and training providers. It is a major show where Volvo can really connect with the public and customers and is also able to promote healthy competition within the industry.
For this specific project I am the customer sales lead and person in charge of product information, I work for instance on coordinating the development of iPad tools for our salespersons, the aim of which is to provide and collect data for and from customers.
Why did you choose the Volvo Group International Graduate Programme?
It was a personal decision based on previous experiences. The first time I worked for Volvo was when I was 14, delivering internal mail at a truck centre in Sollentuna. When I became older I did more summer work for Volvo commercial sales and Volvo Logistics in the UK and then a placement for Volvo Trucks in Gothenburg during my university studies. During these work experiences I was surrounded by extremely motivated people, and it was contagious. I think that's really why I was so excited about this position, knowing that behind the brand is a really great team.
How has your career with the Volvo Group been thus far?
It's been amazing. I've been part of major projects that has taken place in the UK and Sweden where I worked in departments such as Retail, Sales, Business Solutions and Homologation. This has given me a broad overview of how the various business sectors interact. At the same time I've also done specific courses such as project management and product training.
The great thing is that I've always felt very involved in the decisions made, and both my mentor and manager have always encouraged me to bring my own ideas to the table.
If you were to recommend Volvo Group as an employer, what would you put forward?
I think that working for Volvo is very rewarding, being part of a team and a world leader in our industry. And I feel that the Volvo culture wants to include the team in how we move forward which I think must be a difficult task in such a large organisation, yet that is probably one of the reasons for Volvo's diverse workforce.
