I am proud to announce a wonderful educational and supportive conference designed especially for families of children with eating disorders. All of the speakers are respected colleagues of mine and top of their fields.
There's No Place Like Home: Eating Disorders and the Family
November 30-December 1, 2012
Alexandria, Virginia
Sponsored by F.E.A.S.T. (Families Empowered And Supporting Treatment of Eating Disorders)
F.E.A.S.T., a parent advocacy organization for Eating Disorders, announces its 2nd Annual Conference: "There's No Place Like Home: Eating Disorders and the Family,"Nov. 30 & Dec 1, 2012, Alexandria VA. This conference is aimed at parents and caregivers at all levels, of people diagnosed with eating disorders. Attendees will learn about media and eating disorders, support for all family members, navigating insurance coverage, and updates in effective treatment options from inpatient and residential to outpatient and individualized therapy.
The Keynote Speaker on Nov 30th will be "Mental Health and the Media" by Jeff Bell, author of "Rewind, Replay and Repeat" and nationally recognized speaker and advocate for OCD awareness . Featured presentations will be given by: Dr. Craig Johnson PhD, FAED: Chief Clinical Officer Eating Recovery Center, Denver CO on "The Evolution of the Field of Eating Disorders: Parents, Patients, and Professionals"; "History of Media Coverage of Eating Disorders: How Parents Can Understand & Respond" by Carolyn Costin, MA, MED, MFT, author and pioneer ED advocate and clinician; and Lisa Kantor, JD, on "Paying for Treatment: How Does Insurance Work?".
In the past 10 years, there have been revolutionary changes in how eating disorders are understood and treated. Media messages regarding eating disorders are often full of misleading information, or don't seem to apply to your situation. Navigating the new information and all the treatment options can be overwhelming, particularly in today's changing healthcare climate.
Parents are often frustrated by a lack of readily available, good information about eating disorders and confusion as to what treatment options are available. This is an opportunity to network with providers and other parents and find out more about eating disorder resources near you. If you'd like to learn more about current treatments and what you can do for your child or loved one with an eating disorder AND your family, this conference is for you.
There is also an opportunity to participate in a Congressional Briefing in Washington, DC on Thurs, Nov 29th 2012. Conference fees include breakfast, lunch, snacks, all conference sessions and access to the Learning Room. This conference accepts no industry funding, and has no corporate sponsor. For registration and more information go to:

Bottom Line
The Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort and Casino is a four-pearl hotel located in Aruba's Palm Beach High-Rise Hotel district. The hotel's 357 guest rooms are clean and bright, if somewhat bland. All categories include flat-screen TVs and large bathrooms. With a gigantic pool, full-service spa, busy casino, and access to beautiful Palm Beach, the hotel has a high-energy atmosphere and there's no shortage of things to do on the property. Landscaped grounds and distinctive decor in the public spaces inject the Hyatt with a welcome dose of personality, but it's still worth comparing rates with nearby resorts like the Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino.

Buzzing mega-resort on the beach
Guests at the Hyatt Regency Aruba can easily stay entertained without ever leaving the property -- and many don't, if the lively crowds competing for seats around the pool and beach are any indication. Large pools, diverse restaurants with children's menus, and a supervised kids' club make this resort popular with families. A great beach, big casino, superb spa, and four on-site bars make it an equally attractive option for adults looking to unwind and party.
As with most resorts of this large size, the variety of on-site entertainment comes with the loss of intimacy; however, above-average restaurants, lovely landscaping, and Spanish-style architecture impart more character than you might expect from a chain resort. The grand, open-air lobby is dramatically set with circular chandeliers and enormous white planters filled with tropical plants. The space opens up to an elaborate outdoor complex of tumbling waterfalls and paths winding between interconnected pools. A water fountain filled with artificial rocks lights up with a flame at night. In the lush gardens surrounding the pool, black swans glide in a koi pond and scarlet macaws squawk in cages. If you like mega-resorts, this is certainly a nice one.
Beachfront setting in Palm Beach High-Rise Hotel district
The Hyatt is located in what is known as the High-Rise Hotel area which, as its name suggests, is home to most of Aruba's large resorts. The hotel's main entrance faces towards the island's primary thruway, J.E. Irausquin Blvd, which is lined with other hotels, as well as restaurants and shops. The Paseo Herencia Mall and Arawak Gardens & Shopping Mall can both be reached in about five minutes on foot. The hotel backs onto an appealing stretch of Palm Beach, which is bustling with tourists and activity. Eagle Beach and Arashi Beach are found less than three miles away. It's a 20-minute drive to downtown Oranjestad and Queen Beatrix International Airport. Free self-parking is offered across the street from the hotel.
Nearby Hotels
Spotless guest rooms include large bathrooms; some rooms have balconies
Guest rooms at the Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort are clean and practical. Decorated in cheerful orange and green along with light wood furniture, all rooms include iHome clock/radios and basic CV1 coffeemakers. Minibars are well-stocked with various liquors, beers, sodas, and juices. In many rooms, round tables with chairs are connected to dressers in a set-up that saves space but looks a little odd. Flat-screen TVs are mounted to the wall over the dresser. Some suites feature separate sitting areas, sofa beds, stereo systems, and larger work spaces.
All guest rooms have windows that open and offer views of the garden, pool, and at least part of the ocean. Standard Rooms don't have balconies, and other room categories offer only tiny, step-out balconies. Some room categories feature furnished balconies wide enough for sitting.
Large bathrooms offer speckled countertops and the hotel's signature Portico Spa bath products. Some rooms include shower/tub combos, while others offer showers with rainfall heads.
Rooms and Rates
Dazzling multi-level pool with whirlpools and a waterslide, as well as direct access to scenic Palm Beach
The hotel features an 8,000-square-foot, three-level pool complex, which includes waterfalls and two outdoor whirlpools. The pools are connected by paths that meander through tropical gardens of palm trees and bougainvillea. There are a number of sprawling decks surrounding the pool, lined with lounge chairs and umbrellas. The complex also includes a 5,000-square-foot freshwater lagoon, and a two-story waterslide.
The pool area leads down to a gorgeous stretch of Palm Beach, which is dotted with plastic lounge chairs set under palapas. The palapas are nicely spaced so as not to feel overly crowded, although some guests report that finding an empty one can be a challenge. Most cabanas are available on a first-come, first-served basis, although a few can be reserved in advance.
A large, 24-hour fitness center features French windows that face towards the hotel's landscaped grounds. It's equipped with bikes, treadmills, and a variety of resistance strength training equipment. Camp Hyatt kids' club offers supervised pool activities as well as arts and crafts. Charming, earth-toned ZoiA Spa provides massages, facials, body treatments, and salon services. Hyatt Regency Casino includes 13 gaming tables, 221 slot machines, and a casino bar. Live music and dancing are featured on most nights.
Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. The hotel features 9,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space, as well as a large business center with several personal computers and printing facilities.
Eight restaurants and bars
Swim-up Balashi Bar and Grill is located within the pool complex, for drinks and light fare. There are a few stools set in the water along the bar -- a cute feature that allows guests to have a snack without leaving the pool. Palms Restaurant and Palms Beach Bar are also found within the massive pool area. Palms Restaurant is delightful with its open kitchen and minimalist decor. Pretty French doors lead out to a large terrace overlooking the pool. Palms Beach Bar features a cheerful white-and-lime color scheme, along with seating that ranges from high-top stools to comfy day beds. Above the downward sloping pool area, open-air Alfresco Lobby Bar overlooks the scene.
Kadushi Juice Bar is set between the pool and the beach. Piet's Pier Bar is an excellent place to watch the sunset, offering expansive views of the ocean. Pampered in Paradise and Footprints Beach Grill are set up on the beach each evening for intimate, fine-dining experiences.
Inside the hotel, Shoco Market Café provides coffee, ice cream, and grab-and-go-style fare like baked goods and chips. A small courtyard separates Ruinas de Mar and Mexicado restaurants, both of which are rustically elegant with warm-toned decor and lots of stonework. Ruinas del Mar is the hotel's signature restaurant, offering breakfast, dinner, and Sunday brunch. Mexicado specializes in regional Mexican dishes.

It's been a busy first half of the year so far in Japan and certainly not short of any news and probably a fitting time to recount some of the bigger stories that have made the headlines across the digital landscape in Japan.
Rakuten integrates Pinterest on its Japanese marketplace and other properties: In early July, Rakuten, Japan's largest e-commerce company with around 80 million user accounts, started integrating Pinterest across some of its biggest web properties. "Pin it" buttons are now visible across three of its biggest properties – Virtual Mall, Rakuten Travel, and Rakuten Recipe, allowing users to send images to their Pinterest pinboards with one click.
GREE continues to go global: In late June, GREE, the top social gaming site in Japan, which had started to aggressively enter new markets last year, released a global promotional site, called "Come Play GREE." You can see the YouTube trailer here. The site is open to overseas users and allows you to download its apps, and to scroll through its game gallery.
Dentsu buys Aegis for US$5 billion: A fortnight ago Dentsu, Japan's largest advertising and marketing services agency, announced to the world that it would buy U.K. media group Aegis allowing it to create a truly global footprint outside of its eroding home market, Japan. On surface, this appears to be a good deal for both parties, and this will help give a boost to Dentsu, which has been struggling to expand internationally.
The first radiation counter cellphone: In late May, Softbank announced that it would ship Pantone 5, the world's first smartphone complete with a radiation measure feature. By simply pressing a button, you can measure current gamma rays and use it to plot patterns on a map.
Pioneer to release world's first AR car navigation system: To be sold from this month, Pioneer goes to market with its Head-Up Display (HUD) car navigation system allowing digital navigation cues and stats to be broadcast on a transparent dashboard that covers on the inside of your front window. You can check out how it works on the Pioneer site.
Twitter CEO and LinkedIn founders visit Japan: Dick Costolo, the CEO of Twitter and Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn, both paid separate visits to Japan in May and June to help their Japan teams navigate the growing opportunity for their businesses. Japan is the third most active country for Twitter according to Semiocast, with 29.9 million accounts. And Facebook just tipped over 10 million users, according to socialbakers.com. Both executives view Japan as super high growth opportunities.
Smartphone users pass 25 percent: According to new research from D2C, a local mobile research company, the penetration of smartphones in Japan has now surpassed 25 percent. Japan, always an innovator when it comes to mobile, has been somewhat slow to fully adopt the smartphone. The feature phone, with a penetration of 75 percent is still the dominant device. However, this will soon decline as the benefits of the smartphone among Japanese become more visible.
A lot of the news this year revolves around acquisitions as competition across sectors continues to heat up. Also, high profile visits from the CEOs of Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook show an increasing interest in their growing business in Japan.

Sometimes life hands you intolerable circumstances. It can be hard to know what to do, how to respond. You may find yourself in resistance, just wishing it would stop, that your situation and/or your feelings would just go away.
What if I told you that your resistance is making things worse? What if you could find a way to face your life with love and compassion for yourself and those around you, and move forward with all the inner strength you may feel is eluding you? What if I told you that you have more resources available to you than you know? That you could learn concrete skills to help you navigate what feels impossible?
You are so much more than your current situation. The story of your life has something to teach you. Are you ready to step fully into your truly human life?

Miami Dolphins (0-4) at New England Patriots (3-0)
KICKOFF: Sunday, 1:00 ET
SURFACE: Grass
TV: CBS, Dick Enberg, Dan Dierdorf, Armen Keteyian
SERIES: The Dolphins lead the all-time series lead, 46-31. But the Patriots have won three consecutive games against Miami, including a sweep in 2003 that played a large role in the Dolphins' failure to reach the postseason despite a 10-6 record.
2004 RANKINGS: Dolphins: offense 32nd (32nd rush, 24th pass); defense 3rd (27th rush, 1st pass). Patriots: offense 3rd (11th rush, 5th pass); defense 13th (22nd rush, 9th pass)
KEYS TO THE GAME: For the Patriots to win their NFL-record 19th consecutive game, the most important factor is avoiding turnovers. The Dolphins' anemic offense will struggle to put together lengthy drives, so New England doesn't want to do Miami any favors. The Dolphins are a league-worst minus-10 in turnover margin. QB Jay Fiedler is averaging an interception once every 12 passes and will be facing an aggressive Patriots defense that will attack Fielder and his porous offensive line with a variety of looks and blitzes. Offensively, the Patriots will rely more heavily on RB Corey Dillon because QB Tom Brady is likely to be without WRs Deion Branch (knee) and Troy Brown (arm) while the Dolphins defense is allowing 135 rushing yards per game.
FAST FACTS: Dolphins: Off to their worst start since their inaugural season in 1966. ... Lead the series 46-31, but have lost the past three meetings. Patriots: TE Daniel Graham has a touchdown reception in four consecutive games, one shy of the team record held by two others. ... CB Ty Law needs one interception to tie Raymond Clayborn's (36) all-time team record.
- MLB Zach Thomas missed at least a portion of 11-on-11 drills Thursday because
of a sore right shoulder, which he injured in last Sunday's 17-9 loss to the
New York Jets. Thomas remains listed as probable and should start Sunday at
New England.
- CB Jimmy Wyrick was added to Miami's injury report Thursday as probable
because of a hamstring ailment. Wyrick participated in all of practice Thursday
and appears likely to play on special teams and in a reserve role as a defensive
back Sunday against New England.
- RT John St. Clair missed his second consecutive practice Thursday and remains
out for Sunday's game at New England. St. Clair suffered a sprained right
knee and ankle in last Sunday's 17-9 loss to the New York Jets.
- DT Tim Bowens missed his second practice Thursday and remains doubtful for
Sunday's game at New England. Bowens, whose starting spot will be taken by
Jeff Zgonina, hasn't played this season because of a herniated disc in his
- RB Travis Minor missed his second practice session of the week Thursday
and remains out for Sunday's game at New England because of a sprained ankle.
The Dolphins hope Minor may be able to return in at least a limited capacity
Oct. 17 at Buffalo.
- LB Tony Bua practiced Thursday and may be ready to return in a special teams role Sunday at New England. Bua has missed the past two games because of a strained hamstring.
- LB Tedy Bruschi has been a full-time starter since 1999, his fourth year
in the league. Since then, he's developed a reputation as a big-time playmaker
with nine interceptions, 38 pass breakups, nine forced fumbles, three fumble
recoveries and four defensive touchdowns. Of course, that touchdown total
doesn't include the one Richard Seymour scored last week when he picked up
a fumble forced by Bruschi and ran 68 yards for a touchdown. In three games
this season, Bruschi has intercepted Peyton Manning at the goal line, forced
that aforementioned fumble in Buffalo and notched a pair of sacks. "I
think with some players you can't even find the right word or the right identification,
but you just know they are playmakers," head coach Bill Belichick said.
"They have an instinct for the ball or an instinct for the situation.
They just seem to make the right decision at the right time. Tedy is one of
those players."
- RB Corey Dillon has given the Patriots an improved running game and a back
that must be game planned for. He is averaging 4.9 yards per carry and 108
yards per game so far this season. "He definitely gives them balance,"
Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas said, "and that is something that they
haven't had. They tried to run it, but they didn't have a running game like
they have now. That was a big pickup in the offseason."
- WR David Givens, who leads the Patriots in receptions (14) and yards (286)
could very well be Tom Brady's go-to receiver against the Dolphins. Givens
is easily the Patriots most physical receiver and is the most equipped to
handle the physical style with which Miami's corners play. "David's a
tremendous player," Brady said. "He's a great guy to have out there.
He's strong, tough, physical, smart and fast. He keeps getting better and
I'm lucky to have him out there." Givens was a 2002 seventh-round pick.
- WR P.K. Sam could get his first real opportunity to catch a pass this week
thanks to injuries that will likely keep Deion Branch (knee) and Troy Brown
(arm) out of action this week. Sam, who is the youngest player in the NFL,
is simply preparing without an expectations. "I just do what I have to
do and if I get to play, I get to play," Sam said. "I'm just waiting
for my time and learning from the veteran guys. I always feel ready."
Sam got his feet wet last week by contributing on special teams and running
a handful of routes without seeing a pass thrown his way. "It got rid
of what little jitters I had," he said.
- DT Vince Wilfork's playing style or alleged tactic have come under fire in Buffalo where Bills offensive lineman Jonas Jennings believes Wilfork purposely blindsided him in the head, causing a concussion that forced Jennings from the game. Bills offensive lineman Chris Villarrial also believes that Wilfork purposely kicked him when he was on the ground. Neither play drew a flag. Wilfork was not available for comment, but Belichick had this to say regarding Jennings' claim. "He ran into him. That's the way I saw it. I'm sure someone else will look at it and make a determination."
There are easier opponents to face in an NFL debut. But Vernon Carey's first
NFL start will come against a defending Super Bowl champion hoping to set a
league record with its 19th consecutive victory.
Carey is getting the nod at right guard Sunday at New England in place of John
St. Clair, who suffered a sprained right ankle and right knee in last Sunday's
17-9 loss to the New York Jets. Carey's only action this season came when he
replaced an injured St. Clair in the fourth quarter of a season-opening loss
to Tennessee.
"All I can do is prepare and be ready," Carey said. "That's
what I'm doing. I'm spending extra time with (offensive line coach Tony) Wise
and all the coaches and just getting ready. I'll be prepared."
A 2004 first-round draft choice from the University of Miami, Carey failed to beat out St. Clair for a starting position during the preseason. Dolphins coaches also believe Carey was best suited for right tackle, which is why they only experimented with him at right guard for a week in training camp before returning him behind St. Clair.
Carey was declared inactive for the past two games, which raised questions
about whether he is becoming a draft bust. Amplifying the criticism is the fact
Carey was raised in Miami and has oodles of friends in the area quizzing him
about the situation.
"It's part of the sport," Carey said. "Writers are going to write. You can't really say anything. I didn't read it, but I'm from here and people were always asking me what's going on. My thing is to get ready for this week and not worry about that stuff."
Think of the Patriots special teams and names like Adam Vinatieri, Bethel Johnson, Troy Brown and Larry Izzo come to mind - front line players who help the unit excel. Heck, the Patriots have won games, and even championships, because of their special teams play. That's why Sunday's woeful performance in the kicking game has Bill Belichick and special teams coordinator Brad Seely back at the drawing board.
The Patriots allowed a 34-yard run by the Bills punter for a first down, a
98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, committed two penalties on a punt that
cost them a chance to put more points on the board at the end of the first half
and muffed a punt for the second time in three games.
With Brown, who has missed almost all of two games, and Kevin Faulk out of action, catching punts has been a problem. Deion Branch fumbled one away against the Colts and Tyrone Poole misplayed one against the Bills that ended up rolling out of bounds at the Patriots 3.
But every other area of the kicking game was also a problem last week with
the exception of the two specialists, Vinatieri and punter Josh Miller, who
have both performed well. Even Johnson, who led the AFC in kickoff return average
last year with a 28.2-yards per return mark, has struggled this year, averaging
only 22.6 yards per return.
"I know we're better than that," said Izzo, the Patriots special
teams captain and two-time Pro Bowler. "We have better players in here
and we'll do what we have to do to get better. We can all find something to
improve on and hopefully everybody takes last week's poor performance personally."
Safety Shawn Mayer must be taking it personally. He missed an open field tackle that allowed Terrance McGee to run 98 yards for a touchdown and then lost his job two days later. Belichick and Seely elected to call on experienced special teams ace Je'Rod Cherry to replace him. Cherry was a standout special teamer for New England from 2001-2003, but couldn't stay on the field during training camp because of injuries, and was cut.
"He's experienced and familiar with how we do things here," Izzo
said. "I look forward to his contributions."
In his three seasons with New England, Cherry tallied 36 special teams tackles, good for third over that time behind Izzo (73) and Matt Chatham (48). He remained in Massachusetts working out on his own after being released..
"They told me to stick around because you never know what could happen
and things worked out," Cherry said. "I definitely know I can play
football and I still have it in me."

Nexus 4, 7, 10 Android 4.4 KitKat release date set for the "coming weeks;" Galaxy Nexus not included (Update)
Google has officially introduced the new Nexus 5 smartphone and Android 4.4 KitKat earlier today, just as some recent rumors have suggested, but when will it be available?
While you may have though that KitKat will be rolled out rather quickly after becoming official, that's not exactly the case.
On the company's official blog, Google said that KitKat will come to various Nexus and Google Play edition devices in the "coming weeks" without actually specifying an actual release date.
As expected, the Nexus 4, Nexus 7, Nexus 10, Galaxy S4 Google Play edition and HTC One Google Play edition will all be updated to KitKat, but the company did not say anything about the Galaxy Nexus.
With KitKat, Google wants to update even older devices to a fresh OS, something it hasn't done before. In fact, in the documentation it provided so far, Google revealed that KitKat has been optimized to run on devices that have at least 512MB of RAM.
Considering that the Galaxy Nexus has 1GB of RAM, we would assume that Galaxy Nexus would be also included in the list of devices to be updated.
Maybe it's just an oversight from Google for now, but we're certainly going to be back with more details for you.
It turns out that the Galaxy Nexus is too old for the KitKat update – which means that KitKat will not necessarily be supported by too old devices, even if they would pass the specs test. Here's why the Galaxy Nexus won't be getting KitKat, according to Google's answers on its support pages:
Is Google releasing Android 4.4 as a system update for Galaxy Nexus?
No, Galaxy Nexus phones won't be receiving the update for Android 4.4 (KitKat).
Why isn't Galaxy Nexus receiving the update to Android 4.4?
Galaxy Nexus, which first launched two years ago, falls outside of the 18-month update window when Google and others traditionally update devices.
Meanwhile, check out the new Android 4.4 features, and official details about the Nexus 5 handset.
- Nathan Borup
"coming weeks…" NOOOO! I want it NOW!
- Jayfeather787
So do I.
- adam evans
Hurry Google, what will come first , a nexus 5 in the post or update to the nexus 4?!?
- Fitzelgard Allan Gerard
I doubt coming weeks, feels like a few hours as they're slowly releasing everything. Tbh it's all speculations but it will probably come tonight as no one knows but the big G.
- kumar
i want kit kat OTA immediately for nexus 4!!
- MasterMuffin
GNexus is over its life cycle. Custom ROMs are the saviors again :)
- Simos Katsiaris
blame you know who for paying for the development of the phone and then they refused the google updates because of the new radio driver on android 4.3 -_-
- mrjayviper
only for the tech literate which is nothing compared to the number of tech illiterates
- Unwashed Masses
I doubt the tech illiterate give a single crap about having the latest version of Android on their phone, or even know what that means.
- Tiago Azevedo
Google just announced Galaxy Nexus will not be updated! :-(
- NeedName
gNex is over 18 months old, and Google doesn't update after 18 months. . . so. .. . . guess I was wrong about the Nexus line getting long term updates — doesn't even cover a contract term.
Google's 18 month update policy does nothing more than put more perfectly useable devices in landfills quicker. . . sad!
- blabla
You have no other way, then to root your phone, if you want 4.4
- Simon Belmont
It's sad (I'm a G'Nex owner, too). But, Google is in the business of selling devices and services, so updating an old device forever isn't in their best interest (no, I'm totally not defending them, but giving a business perspective).
We'll get Android 4.4 on our G'Nex handsets, man. It'll be in the form of CM11, and I bet it will run really well.
- Sabin Bajracharya
Do you know when CM11 stable version will be available? Any guess?
- Simon Belmont
Wish, I did, but no. Stable version will probably be quite a while, but nightlies will likely start soon enough.
The best I can tell you as that we'll definitely see CM11 on the G'Nex. No doubt about it.
- sourabh sekhar
it will be available after 4.5 comes out.
- Collin dubya
First rule of Cyanogen mod, don't ask for ETA's, it will be released when it's finished ;)
- Nasko Hristov
But, Google is in the business of selling devices, really man? You think Google makes profit from selling Nexus devices at extremely low prices? There is no excuse for not updating the Galaxy Nexus.
- Simon Belmont
I said selling devices AND services. The devices they sell facilitates the selling and consumption of their services.
I realize they probably make little to no profit on the devices (if not actually take a hit on them), but if users buy into Google's ecosystem (apps, movies, books, etc), then Google gets long term monetary gain from them. Also, Like I said above, I'm not defending their decision not to update the G'Nex, which I think is more related to TI not being in the mobile SoC business anymore and laying off a lot of people to that end (thus no updates drivers for the G'Nex).
- Jaison Abraham
to me I think that there are too many variants with the galaxy nexus and google have to make a lot of compromises to release the product. the nexus 4 and nexus 5 was the first uncompromising google phones. which for google is easier to update and fix because they just need to design for 1 phone. not design for 3 variants.
- NeedName
That's Google's fault, they ought not punish customers because they made bad decisions.
Nonetheless, Google is being very clear that "18 months" is their support window, thus don't expect the N4 & N5 to get anything better than that.
- TechDevil
I think the problem here is why should other corporations using Android for their smartphones bother updating to 4.4 KitKat when Google won't even do it to their own devices? That's just sad and very pointless.
- Simon Belmont
I agree. It sets a bad example. It shows that not supporting a device that's fully capable of running the latest and greatest is "okay" when it most certainly isn't. Yup. :)
I just think Google was in a jam in this situation. If the employees TI had, that could help with updated binaries, are gone, then Google probably had no choice but to retire the G'Nex. I just have this sneaky suspicion that they really did want to update it, but it would have been a hack job at best. Who knows, maybe I'm giving them too much credit. ;)
- NeedName
TI drivers aren't the problem. XDA members already have 4.4 running on the gNexus, but not perfect yet. Google just doesn't want to support hardware, thus NO REASON at all to buy a nexus device. . . .
If I go Android at all it will be something cyanogenmod will be supporting. Otherwise I'll be looking at other camps.
- scb1898
You'd throw your phone in the landfill, because you don't get an update? If so, that's crazy!
- Jose Torres
Should have realized this with the Nexus One and the Nexus S. I don't understand why it's suddenly a big deal that Google doesn't update 18 month old phones when the Galaxy Nexus isn't the first to fall on the wayside.
- Apple_Nexus
I know, it sucks!
I thought part of the appeal of buying a Nexus device was that it'd be supported and would get the updates immediately? Apple devices get longer support – the 3GS was supported for 4 years.
And where's the KitKat update for the Nexus 4/7/10 already?
- kronz
Nexus 5 in the play store
- Sebastián Navarro
Lg Optimus G Pro E980 ?
- Steve
This 18 month thing is news to me. So I guess the Nexus 4 won't receive the next big update after 4.4? its 12 months old already…
- Simon Belmont
It probably will. Potentially the next one after that, too.
The G'Nex saw three point releases: 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3. The N4 started at Android 4.2, so we can reasonably surmise that it'll see one more after Android 4.4. Just my thought process on the subject.
- Sabin Bajracharya
4.2 and 4.3 were minor release! The only major release GNex got was 4.1. Also google said they will release new android iteration per year basis so kitkat will be the final major update the nexus4 is going to get. Meanwhile it will get minor update but thats it!
- Simon Belmont
They're minor, but they're point releases. Honestly, I was really expecting the G'Nex to see Android 4.4 officially from Google.
Especially considering how much they're talking about lower RAM usage. Oh well, that's Google for you.
- jdt1986
If the Nexus 4 doesn't get Android 5.0, I'm going to be VERY annoyed.
- Tanner Hoyt
I had no idea about the 18 month cycle… I'm sorry, but I'm not going to pay $350 for a phone that doesn't even get two years of updates. I think I'll go with the Moto X.
- Kamal
Does iOS run on Motto X? ARE YOU RETARDED?
- Tanner Hoyt
Oh no, not you again.
When did I say iOS ran on the Moto X? Apparently you can't read.
- Kamal
You need to get off nexus blogs. nexus5 is unlocked for $350. You want something with a contract for $200 as per your other blog post ing….aka PRISON TIME
I suggest you really understand what $350 is really in US$ and how much a company like apple rips you off for a $250 BOL phone to sell it for $700… seriously man, idiots like you really belong in the apple ecosystem until they go bankrupt in a few years when everyone is more technologically advanced with Google's offerings…
No offense, but you will never get the real android eco system…. don you have a S3? which version does sprint provide you with? any promises abt 4.4 before you start bit$hing about pure Android..
Like i think, you are still a isheep in disguise figuring out how an android eco system works.. ENJOY THE FACT that one company is giving ppl a real smartphone for $350 or kiss @pples ass and pay them $700 if u want the same thing unlocked.
- NeedName
Dude, you have apple problems.
The commenter you are replying to said NOTHING about apple or ios. . . get a grip.
- Tanner Hoyt
You need to calm down. I'm not an Apple fanboy, I just don't bash them 24/7 like some people do.
I am currently using an AT&T Galaxy S3 running Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. I was planning on getting the Nexus 5, however, the news about Google's 18 month upgrading window has made me decide otherwise. Just because I am willing to buy a locked phone for cheaper doesn't mean I'm an Apple fanboy… It means I don't consider the Nexus 5 worth it. I don't need my phone to do that much.
Oh, and the Moto X is only $99 on contract. That's a great price for a great phone and it will likely be my choice in December.
- Idontkissapplesass
The motto x is not going to get 2 years of updates
- Groud Frank
The Nexus line was our best hope for consistent and reliable updates and then they drop this on us? And after all this talk about 4.4 running on older devices… I think I will go with Oppo's N1 or other Oppo devices. At least with Cyanogen Inc, I can expect a better update life expectancy than this.
GG Google!
- NeedName
Oppo is looking good after this news. . . very good!
- Unwashed Masses
I don't think Google ever intended 4.4 to run on "older" devices, only lower-end NEW devices. The have nothing to gain by updating older devices, but stand to make a fortune by expanding into developing markets with affordable off-contract devices with Google Services built in.
- filaos
"…the 18-month update window when Google and others traditionally update devices."
Screw you Google.
My Nexus 4 with its dying battery is now on sale, and I'm switching back to Apple. At least they now what "quality components" and "device support" mean.
18 months… Seriously ?
- Tanner Hoyt
I totally agree. The iPhone 4, which came out in 2010 (3 years ago!) got the iOS 7 update. That is what you call support.
- Mobile Phones Fan
I suspect you've never actually used iOS 7 on an iPhone 4 or IPad 2, both of which are about the same age as his Galaxy Nexus.
Had you done so, I doubt that you'd be so glib about Apple's putative 'support' for those relatively ancient devices. See…
- Tanner Hoyt
I don't have an iPhone 4, but iOS 7 runs pretty smooth on my iPad 2. It hiccups here and there, but not that bad at all.
- Mobile Phones Fan
Fair enough, but then iPad 2 is the newest of the three devices I've mentioned (by at least 6 month, IIRC). Even so, it's taken Apple…what, two further iOS 7 updates to deliver those 'hiccups' you've described.
Not what I'd call a stunning success at delivering 'support for older devices'. And added to the Texas Instruments drivers issue, Apple's iOS 7 woes lend credence to Google's decision to withhold Android 4.4 from the GNex.
- Tanner Hoyt
My experience on the iPad 2 has been nearly flawless. It lags occasionally, but not very often. Besides, unless an update seriously worsens the performance of my device, I'd like to have it.
And that apparently has nothing to do with Google withholding the update for the Galaxy Nexus. They said they have an 18 month update window. After a Nexus device has been out for 18 months, they don't promise any updates for it. That means the KitKat will likely be the last major update on the Nexus 4. That just sucks. They should support their customers better.
- Apple/Google Fanboy
I don't know if you read filaos' post, but you're wrong about gnexus release date. It came out in november of 2011, same gen as iPhone 4s. Might want to check your facts =)
- Brian Shieh
I think the iPad 2 uses the A5 chip, which is like the iPhone 4s's. So yes, it is the smoother one vs iPhone 4
- Tanner Hoyt
Yes, but that it doesn't make the phone unusable. It lags, but it is still usable. Besides, most people who have an iPhone 4 are likely about to upgrade by now if they haven't already. As long as an update doesn't severely reduce a phone's performance, the company should release it for as old a device as possible.
- filaos
No. The GNex is as old as the iPhone 4S (not the 4 !) and has twice the RAM. And iPhone 4S runs iOS 7 perfectly.
They got NO excuse except not giving a damn fuck about customers.
- thereasoner
Updates with out the features,
no siri,
no maps
and iOS 7 has been said to run like garbage on the iphone4!
That is what I call BS support!
- MasterMuffin
What did you expect from a device that's half the price of iPhone…
- filaos
That's right. I fooled myself in believing it was a high end device at a bargain price.
- Ivan Myring
Still no new nexus 10! For fucks sake!
- marco00011
That broke my heart :'(
Just because it's older than 18 months isn't really a reason to me.
The gnex is capable of handling Kitkat!!
- Nitinart Nunthong
I have heard about 18 months support before but I thought it was meant for OEMs not Google. For nexus devices ,IMO ,it should be at least 24 months.
- Brian Shieh
Wait, on Engadget, it states that the problem was linked to the Texas Instrument chipset problem, as the business is dead. No more support for the TI processors may be part of the cause.
- NeedName
This was all speculation and some "insiders" trying to give Google an excuse. Google is very clear, now, about their 18 month update policy. And XDA has shown, already, that 4.4 can run on the gNexus. . . . Android just has crap support from OEMs, end of story!
- Brian Shieh
well, the Android Upgrade Alliance (if this has any relevance to it) is apparently unheard of now. Maybe Google decided to refute the group? Sadly yes, most phones are capable of running a newer OS. I had a Motorola Atrix 4g that ran JB 4.1 fine without any hiccups or crashes. It's about the money nowadays.
- Paul K Deuster
I am a Gnexus owner too and i am sad that it wont get kitkat. But i an switching anyway, two years is a long time and the Gnexus doesn't have the performance I expect from a smartphone although I still love it and pass it to my family members.
To all of you who talk about apples great support! Damn you the crap costs nearly the double of a nexus they HAVE to do long term support.
- Ivan Budiutama
A bit disappointed with the (new term?) not updating a 18 month old device. I mean, I was expecting when they release 4.4 that can run on "older" devices. I have a high expectation they will show us (and OEM) how it's done. even surprising us by updating their Nexus S line to set up a nice example on how powerful KitKat can be. I guess I am expecting too much. Maybe it's just me
I am switching too nevertheless, but now the "Nexus" long term update seems less tempting now, Sony has a great track record, I think their Xperia S (released on GB) is now on 4.1.2. Maybe I should go with Z1 instead?
- Kk Rech
I dont want a Nexus 5, update my Nexus 4 now! That was the reason I bought a Nexus!
- iamtravis182
Its too bad that Google isn't supporting their phones with the latest OS longer. That being said, at least with a Nexus, you get to enjoy the fruits of an open dev system where you will be able to flash the latest ROMS on your phone with little hassle.
I ordered a Nexus 5 and am looking foreword to the phone itself, but I am most excited about having the max amount of freedom on a major mobile device possible.
- TechDevil
After hearing that Galaxy Nexus won't get the update to 4.4 KitKat, I don't even bother buying the Nexus 5, knowing it will only get updates for 18 months. Google is just as bad at updating as all other corporations, apparently, so I'm buying Note 3 now!
- johnny boy
can someone tell me if the nexus 7 2012 edition going to get the update ???
- Florin N
quit bitching and upgrade from that GNex.It's not like a Nexus 4 or 5 costs a fortune, plus the GNex is too old anyway (and has many variants, unlike the 4&5 which are just 1 global version)
Point is: if you want a clean Android experience, it's very cheap to get it.Support for 18 months sounds pretty fair.
- Nizo
Not a thing wrong with my Gnex. Runs everything I need it to with nary a hiccup. Never even bothered with a custom ROM, 4.2.1 is good enough for me. I don't see shit on KitKat that makes me feel slighted. If your phone does what you need it to do, when you need to do it… then who cares if it has the latest and greatest hardware/software? I don't get that thinking. It's like hey, my penile implant is bigger than yours!!! Who cares? You have money to throw away every year when the latest and greatest is released w/ newest OS? Great! Go get it! If not, oh well, I promise you you'll be just fine. Don't let these yuppie SOBs make you feel like you have to upgrade your phone yearly.
That being said, it kinda pisses me off that the Gnex won't see 4.4, since I just got it less then a year ago. But OH WELL (I am on Sprint so it wasn't like I was going to see an official release anyhow). 4.4 offers nothing I MUST HAVE anyway. All I can say to anyone, is stay AWAY from Sprint. God they suck bad. No signal anywhere unless you are within a mile of a major interstate. Unlimited data for life… with the catch… that you'll never actually be able to use it, so of course it's unlimited!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Mr T
Agreed, the GNexus is a fine device. Its hardware looks a bit prehistoric nowadays but it runs almost everything flawlessly. I can see why someone would be pissed that it doesn't get the last version of Android but as you said it's not like you're missing much aside from cosmetic tweaks.
- Mike Zacierka
Samsung G.Nexus is my first smartphone which hasnt been replaced after 3 month to search for newer or better. I have it 15 months and I dont give a &%$& about updates:)I love it with 4.2
- Hazem
Could you tell me when is 4.4 gonna come out for Xperia Z family?they haven't even release 4.3 yet hope they do soon.
18 Month update window?
That means my nexus 4 will be unsupported in 6 months then?
- sunny
I guess the 18 month service window is for devices whose production has been stopped i.e. no active sales….
Nexus 4 might last longer than expected by you guys :)
- androidkin
I believe the Galaxy Nexus has TI OMAP processor. TI stopped making processor in late 2012. So it's possible without proper processor drivers and support new OS versions cannot be installed.
- Michelle
What about the LG Optimus G Pro which isn't even a year old yet??? LG needs to go back to the bottom of the cellphone list as worst customer support. They abandon their phones as soon as they release a new one. LG SUX! Never again!

In the 1930s and 1940s, many Jews in Europe lived in fear — or in hiding — from the Nazis. A cramped attic in Amsterdam served as a makeshift home for two years for Anne Frank, her family, and four others. This secret annex was discovered, and Anne's father, Otto Frank, was the only one to survive the concentration camps – but their stories live on through Anne's diary, first published in 1947. Anne Frank: The Diary of A Young Girl, was turned into a play and a film in the 1950s. Now, decades later, there's an update for a new era.

Clearly, the FR systems are more beneficial to the environment & economic saving, due to the duration/life is so much better for all.
Gena Montgomery of Thordon Bearings Inc. on
September 6, 2013:
I've commissioned cyclic static-dynamic testing in the high-fouling, year-round tropical marine environment of Tuticorin Bay (India) to compare toxic AFs to silicone AFs. As expected with dynamic conditions, the FRC showed superior performance. More recently, the two types of AFs were put under static conditions, only to discover that the FRC outperformed the toxic AFs. The timelines were short (1-2 years), so no comments are given on longevity except to say better results were had with FRCs in dynamic or static conditions.
Colin Anderson of American Chemet on
September 6, 2013:
High performance SPC (Self-Polishing Copolymer) antifoulings can be specified for commercial vessels for up to 90 months in warm tropical waters. The thickness varies, depending on the vessel activity and in-service period, with more paint applied for longer lifetimes. SPC's can also be used on pleasure craft in warm tropical waters, but due to the low activity of these vessels for not more than 3 years.
Foul release coatings can be used in warm tropical waters, with regular in-water "grooming" (not scrubbing). The film thickness of foul release coatings is independent of ship activity or in-service period. The first application lasts for 5 years, and then a re-application of the top coat (150 microns) gives another 5 years service life. Foul release coatings are not commonly used on pleasure craft in warm, tropical waters.
Per Gabrielsson of Free Lance Consultations and Inspections on
September 5, 2013:
Antifoulings and foul releases will collect slime and weed and if/when brushed, toxic substances from the coatings will enter into the water and affect the marine life.
Brushing of silicone- based AF's is virtually impossible due to their softness.
Hard coatings are easily brushed and do not distribute toxic ingredients into the water, in case you are looking for "Green Coatings."
Suresh Babu of Hempel Paints on
August 29, 2013:
The premium products on the market now are based on silicone and are biocide-free. They could be specified from 60 months to a maximum of 90 months.

When Victoria Miranda was homeless, she didn't have to worry about her children's education.
Amarillo social workers helped Miranda enroll her children in school during the transition from an Amarillo battered-women's shelter to more permanent housing. They arranged for transportation to and from school for the children and provided them with school supplies and coats.
Miranda also found the encouragement and support she needed to regain her independence after leaving an abusive relationship.
"Bad times don't last forever," said Miranda, who is starting her second year working as an assistant director for a day care.
Miranda's daughter is now a junior and participates in a high school Junior ROTC program. Miranda's fifth-grader made the A-B honor roll during the past six weeks, and her second-grader has made the A-B honor roll every year since kindergarten. She also has a 3-year-old.
The federal Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act, the initial version of which was passed in 1987, requires that all homeless youth have access to a free and appropriate public education. The act allows students to stay in their school of origin the entire time they are homeless and until the end of any academic year in which they move into permanent housing.
Students also may choose to enroll in any public school that students living in the same attendance area are eligible to attend.
Now called the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act of 2001, the legislation provides $108,000 a year to Amarillo for children in families that either live in a homeless shelter or who are housed with another family, said Edna Schwartz, a social worker for the Amarillo Independent School District. She works in an office at the Tyler Street Resource Center, 200. S. Tyler St., which also houses some offices for the United Way of Amarillo & Canyon.
Schwartz works with roughly 800 students who are considered homeless.
Their families may have to move several times in a year, often because of economic hardship, Schwartz said. The families may get behind on rent because their paychecks are not enough to cover car repairs and rent and utilities. Eventually, the families are forced to move. They may start out with relatives, then move from place to place.
If the child has to change schools with each move, the child gets further behind academically.
"The law allows our kids to stay in the same schools (as) before they were homeless," Schwartz said. "They like school. It's fun. It's something that keeps them busy."
The children know they need an education, and the law allows them to remain with their friends and teachers while their family situation is in flux, she said. Schwartz works to arrange bus transportation for those children. She provides them with school supplies, backpacks, gym clothes and materials for school projects - anything they might need for school.
Schwartz also tries to find money to pay for graduation gowns and yearbooks, expenses the federal aid does not cover.
"I think they're just like everybody else," Schwartz said. "They have access to all the same resources, so they can participate in all school activities. They're home situation doesn't keep them from being involved."
"So many kids take on that adult role," said Donna Soria, who worked with Miranda as case manager for the Downtown Women's Center. "They worry about their family situation."
Often, the children just want to be normal. They want to get to school on time like their classmates, they want to wear clothes and shoes like their classmates, they want to eat lunch like their classmates, they want a place to stay, Soria said.
"Normal is majority," Soria said.
Soria works with the parents on the grown-up concerns so all the children have to worry about is homework, just like their classmates. The center offers a transitional housing program in conjunction with the city of Amarillo.
"We try to get them back in housing," Soria said. "Times are tough sometimes."
For help, or to help, call Edna Schwartz at 374-2779.
Close-up: Tyler Street Resource Center / Education for Homeless Children
Education for homeless children
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act allows students to stay in their schools and receive assistance with transportation, counseling, clothing and school supplies.
The act applies to students who do not have a permanent address, do not live with their parents or legal guardian, live temporarily with friends or family, do not have school records, need help getting vaccinations or filling out enrollment papers. Those students may sleep in a shelter, car, abandoned building or campground.
