As the title suggests, everything on this blog concerns violence against trans women.
The Trans Women's Anti-Violence Project is a trans feminist project addressing issues of systematic, institutional and interpersonal violence and oppression experienced by trans women (those who were coercively assigned male at birth and identify or are identified as women/female) across multiple identities (e.g., race, class, dis/ability, citizen-status, nationality, sexuality, age, HIV status, and form, status, or age of transition, etc.)
Ida Hammer is a writer and social justice communicator. She organizes the Trans Women's Anti-Violence Project. She presents workshops and trainings on cis privilege and being a trans ally. She's also involved in organizing against sexualized violence. She's a proud dyke-identified trans woman and an organizer of the New York City Dyke March.
We would like to invite you to participate in a survey being conducted by Planned Parenthood of New York City. We are gathering information to help us improve the delivery of our health care services to transgender and gender non-conforming clients.
The Trans Women's Anti-Violence Project is excited to introduce a study that will help improve health care for trans women and other trans New Yorkers. Planned Parenthood of New York City is looking into expanding health care services to meet the needs of trans people in the New York City.
If you are a trans person in the New York City, please take a moment to fill out PPNYC's online survey. The information gathered from this survey will provide evidence that will assist PPNYC to better serve the health needs of trans women and other trans people in New York City.
In 2011, Ida Hammer (pictured above with writer Janet Mock and actress Laverne Cox at the 2013 NYC Anti-Violence Project Courage Awards) founded of the Trans Women's Anti-Violence Project. A life-long activist, Ida has committed herself to improving the lives of women and LGBT individuals. In recognition of her advocacy work Ida is included in the inaugural Trans 100 and is most recently the recipient of the AGLP's 2014 Barbara Gittings Award for her exceptional leadership and advocacy for trans women and lesbian Issues.
Now Ida needs the support of her community to raise funds for her upcoming surgery. Ida is lucky to have insurance that includes her surgery, which will assist her in paying for the hospital stay, operating room, and anesthesia. Unfortunately, her surgeon doesn't accept insurance, so she will need to pay the surgeon's fee herself. Her goal is to raise $13,500. The Trans Women's Anti-Violence Project currently has just over 2,600 followers. If each of you would be generous enough to chip in just $5, Ida will easily meet her goal.

"The Office of Human Rights transgender and gender identity non-discrimination campaign will appear throughout DC in Fall and Winter of 2012. The campaign will feature five transgender or gender non-conforming people in a series of five ads. The campaign aims to increase understanding of the community, reduce discriminatory incidents in DC and increase reporting of discrimination when it happens."

A decade ago, voters in Buffalo approved a local law that provided full civil rights protections to transgender residents.
But New York State, despite its proud, progressive history, has fallen behind its second-largest city — and 16 states — in protecting the essential civil rights of hundreds of thousands of transgender and gender non-conforming residents.
For these New Yorkers, the simplest and most fundamental parts of their identity — their clothing, their appearance, their name—expose them to hostility, exclusion and sometimes even violence.
People who are transgender or whose appearance does not conform to gender stereotypes often suffer persistent discrimination and harassment. They face challenges earning a living, finding housing and enjoying life's necessities and simple pleasures.
But there is no state law that explicitly prohibits discrimination against transgender or gender non-conforming people. The Gender Expression Non- Discrimination Act, or GENDA, will remedy this injustice. Passed on April 30 by the Assembly, GENDA has the broad support of legislators, law enforcement and advocacy groups that seek to guarantee civil-rights protections and safety — for everyone.
Like all New Yorkers, transgender and gender non-conforming people deserve freedom from harassment, mistreatment and exclusion. Everyone deserves equal access to housing, employment, education and public facilities, like restaurants, stores and doctor's offices.
New Yorker Kym Dorsey lived the first half of her life as Kenny before transitioning to life as a woman. "We are all human," Dorsey observed.
"We bleed the same. We are taxpayers — we have sisters, mothers, brothers, uncles. Who decides who's better, who's more deserving of humanity?"
We can't afford to look the other way when the rights of any New Yorkers are violated. Ending institutionally approved discrimination is a matter of essential civil and human rights.
It is a nonpartisan issue that merits the support of every elected leader in the state — and members of the New York State Senate in particular.
Enacting GENDA is not a radical departure from long-held values. Many of New York's towns, cities and counties have, like Buffalo, enacted laws that prohibit discrimination based on gender expression and gender identity.
But all New Yorkers deserve the same protection. The right to live free from discrimination should not depend on a person's ZIP code.
Adults who want sex-change surgery or hormone therapy in Argentina will be able to get it as part of their public or private health care plans under a gender rights law approved Wednesday.
The measure also gives people the right to specify how their gender is listed at the civil registry when their physical characteristics don't match how they see themselves.
Senators approved the Gender Identity law by a vote of 55-0, with one abstention and more than a dozen senators declaring themselves absent — the same margin that approved a "death with dignity" law earlier in the day.
President Cristina Fernandez threw her support behind the law and is expected to sign it. She has often said how proud she is that Argentina became Latin America's first nation to legalize gay marriage two years ago, enabling thousands of same-sex couples to wed and enjoy the same legal rights as married heterosexual couples.
For many, gender rights were the next step.
Any adult will now be able to officially change his or her gender, image and birth name without having to get approval from doctors or judges — and without having to undergo physical changes beforehand, as many U.S. jurisdictions require.
"It's saying you can change your gender legally without having to change your body at all. That's unheard of," said Katrina Karkazis, a Stanford University medical anthropologist and bioethicst who wrote a book, "Fixing Sex," about the medical and legal treatment of people whose physical characteristics don't fully match their gender identity.
"There's a whole set of medical criteria that people have to meet to change their gender in the U.S., and meanwhile this gives the individual an extraordinary amount of authority for how they want to live. It's really incredible," she said.
When Argentines want to change their bodies, health care companies will have to provide them with surgery or hormone therapy on demand. Such treatments will be included in the "Obligatory Medical Plan," which means both private and public providers will not be able to charge extra for the services.
"This law is going to enable many of us to have light, to come out of the darkness, to appear," said Sen. Osvaldo Lopez of Tierra del Fuego, the only openly gay national lawmaker in Argentina.
"There are many people in our country who also deserve the power to exist," Lopez said.
Children also get a voice under the law: Youths under 18 who want to change their genders gain the right to do so with the approval of their legal guardians. But if parents or guardians want a gender identity change and don't have the child's consent, then a judge must intervene to ensure the child's rights are protected.
Argentina need not worry about vast numbers of people demanding sex changes, Karkazis predicted.
"This isn't going to create a huge demand on the national health system for these procedures. They're difficult, painful, irreversible. And this is why many people don't do it," she said.
But because the law says people can legally change their identities without having to undergo genital surgery or hormone therapy, these changes can be more benign and even reversible, if some day the person's self-image changes.
Other countries, including neighboring Uruguay, have passed gender rights laws, but Argentina's "is in the forefront of the world" because of these benefits it guarantees, said Cesar Cigliutti, president of the Homosexual Community of Argentina.
"This is truly a human right: the right to happiness," Sen. Miguel Pichetto said during the debate.
GENDA, the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act, passed in the New York Assembly on Monday and is now headed to the Senate, where it has failed the previous five times the Assembly passed it. A report issued yesterday by the NYCLU highlights just how essential this piece of legislation is:
"A 2009 national survey that included 531 transgender people in New York found that 74 percent reported harassment or mistreatment on the job and 20 percent lost a job or were denied a promotion. In addition, 53 percent were verbally harassed or denied service at hotels and restaurants and 49 percent reported being uncomfortable seeking police assistance. Also, 18 percent had become homeless because of their transgender status and 27 percent were either denied an apartment or were evicted. And 17 percent were refused medical care due to their gender expression, the survey said."
This is literally life or death for people, and Governor Cuomo hasn't voiced his support for the bill yet. A version of GENDA has been passed in several cities (including NYC) but that won't cut it—this is about the very most basic civil rights for trans and non-gender-conforming people. It is awesome that gay people can get married, and I appreciate the Governor's outspoken support for that bill, but if he's truly an advocate for LGBTQI rights, this right here is the bill to push through.
Without the guarantee of housing and jobs, trans people—trans women especially, and trans women of color especially especially—are at even higher risk for violence and abuse. The statistics are chilling. Trans women are more likely to be targets of violence, less likely to receive proper medical care, more like to be abused by cops, more likely to be raped. In the last month, Paige Clay and Brandy Martell were murdered, and CeCe McDonald is facing jail time for defending herself against a group of attackers screaming epithets and smashing glass in her face. The violence against trans and non-gender-conforming people is so endemic that the community has an annual Day of Remembrance to commemorate people killed because of their gender presentation JUST THAT YEAR.
GENDA is no joke, yet where are the celebrities leaning on legislators to pass it? Where is the news coverage? Where is Governor Cuomo? What's Occupy Wall Street doing? This is the very most basic civil right stuff: the right to equal employment consideration, the right to housing, the right to medical care, the right to protection from police and (optimistically) by police. NYCLU's Melissa Goodman:
"'New York is really falling behind on transgender rights,' Goodman said. 'We were a leader in the marriage fairness fight. It's really time for New York to be the same kind of leader in the transgender equality fight.'"
C'mon everybody. Let's pass this thing.
In an unprecedented move for the organization, Chicago House has unveiled a new nine-bedroom facility to house transgender people on Chicago's North Side.
The organization opened up the building for tours at a special meeting of Chicago's Transgender Coalition April 18.
"We plan for this to be a safe haven and residential facility for transgender persons," said Rev. Stan Sloan, CEO of Chicago House.
Nine transgender people will live in the four-story house before year's end.
Chicago House formerly used the building for hospice services, but as HIV-related deaths have slowed, the need for the site diminished. What has not diminished, said Sloan, is the need for affirming housing and support for transgender people. The location of the building is not being made public, due to concerns that doing so might make it a target for anti-trans violence.
The building will house transgender people regardless of their HIV status and connect them to case management, job training, healthcare, workshops and other services. Dr. Robert Garofalo, an HIV expert at Children's Memorial Hospital, and others from his department will administer health services at the site weekly.
The announcement represents an expansion of services and cultural competency for Chicago House, an organization that has served HIV-positive for more than 25 years. According to Sloan, all Chicago House staff members have received a day-long transgender training.
The idea for the project was inspired by Trisha Holloway, a young transgender woman who was kicked out her house at age 18 when she came out as trans. At age 21, Holloway got connected with Chicago House and began working at Sweet Miss Giving's, the organization's transitional job bakery.
Sloan said that Holloway said she felt unsupported as a trans person at the bakery.
"She educated us more than we educated her," said Sloan.
Chicago House staff also reported that many transgender people arrive for Chicago House services dressed as their birth-assigned gender because they are afraid to be out. The organization is hoping to curb some of that fear in directly taking up transgender issues.
In addition to launching the housing project, Chicago House will begin a job placement and training program for transgender people similar to its iFour program for people with HIV (iFour stands for Increase Individual Income and Independence).
Sloan said that program as a 40 percent success rate of placing people with HIV into jobs. That number jumps to 70 percent for Chicago House clients in supportive housing, he added.
Job workshops will deal specifically with issues facing transgender people, such as when to come out as trans to an employer and what rights trans employees have. Clients will also be paired with mentors in the community who will help train them in specific careers.
Finally, Chicago House will do outreach and education to employers about transgender people in an effort combat the job discrimination that faces trans people at alarming rates.
Chicago House will also be hiring transgender people to staff the new house and programs, Sloan said.
Sloan emphasized the role of other organizations in making the project happen. Chicago House will be teaming up with agencies like Center on Halsted to make the project a reality. Pete Subkoviak of AIDS Foundation of Chicago has also been instrumental in the process, Sloan said.
All told, the new housing will cost an estimated $250,000 a year. Sloan hopes to get that money through a grant. The building is ready for occupancy, he said, and the program can launch almost immediately after the funds are secured.
Equality Illinois, Lambda Legal and other LGBT advocacy organizations are dropping support for a police transgender protections ordinance introduced in City Council last month due to compromises made to the language, which they say, damaged the effectiveness of the policy.
In its current form, the ordinance provisions would be overseen by existing City Council committees. Specifically, police would have to report to the Human Relations and Public Relations committees, instead of a new, transgender issues committee or commission. Several iterations of the bill were drafted before it was introduced by Moreno, who told Chicago Phoenix at the time of introduction, that the bill introduced was "strong" and was a "good compromise" with police.
"The ordinance in its current form is not strong enough because key provisions like training and enforcement that we think are important are missing," Clark said. "Passing something weaker and then strengthening it later is not always the best way to go. You might not be there later."

Less than a week after Maryland lawmakers approved same-sex marriage, a state legislative committee has turned its attention to another contentious issue: whether to forbid discrimination against transgender people.
The Senate Judicial Proceedings committee heard testimony this week on a bill that would prohibit discrimination in public accommodations, housing and employment based on "gender identity," which would take its place alongside race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation and disability.
Unlike same-sex marriage, the transgender discrimination ban is not part of Gov. Martin O'Malley's (D) agenda. But last May, following a nationally publicized beating of a transgender woman in Baltimore County, O'Malley released a statement saying "more must be done to protect the rights and dignity" of transgender people.
At least 13 states, the District and more than 100 counties and cities nationwidehave laws prohibiting discrimination based on gender identity. Four local governments in Maryland have approved such measures: Baltimore and Montgomery, Howard and Baltimore counties.
"Now we need statewide protections for the kids across Maryland who are not so lucky," Catherine Hyde of Howard County, who has an 18-year-old transgender daughter, said in her testimony to state senators.
"The degree of discrimination that transgender people suffer is exceptionally severe," said Eva Hersh, a Baltimore physician who said she treats many transgender patients. "Many people question the right of transgender individuals to exist at all," she said.
At a lengthy hearing on Tuesday, transgender residents of Maryland told senators of being fired, harassed or denied promotions because of their gender identity. Baltimore resident Jenna Fischetti said she lost her job at a luxury car dealership a few days after a co-worker, who knew Fischetti as a male, saw her dressed as a woman. "There's no excuse for that. Absolutely none," Fischetti said.
The Baltimore County Council passed its transgender discrimination ban only last week, on a 5-2 vote, almost a year after Chrissy Lee Polis, a 22-year-old transgender woman, was attacked as she tried to use the bathroom at a Rosedale McDonald's restaurant. A video of the incident, taken by a McDonald's employee and circulated on YouTube, sparked national controversy.
The debate surrounding the Baltimore County bill centered largely on bathrooms, with many detractors claiming the protections regarding public accommodations would lead to women being sexually assaulted by men pretending to be women.
Sen. Jamie Raskin (D-Montgomery), the bill's lead sponsor, said he considered playing the McDonald's beating video during Tuesday's hearing, but he "didn't want to play to people's fears about bathrooms."
One committee member, Sen. James Brochin (D-Baltimore County), voiced such a concern, saying a statewide anti-discrimination law could be seen by some men as a license to enter a female bathroom. "I'm worried about someone who wakes up one day and says, look what the state of Maryland just did. I feel like a woman today," he said.
Supporters of the bill said such incidents have not occurred in states and municipalities that have passed transgender protections.
Several Maryland women testified in opposition to the bill, citing bathroom safety concerns. In addition, a handful of religious advocacy groups filed letters opposing the bill. The Maryland Catholic Conference argued giving explicit protection to transgender people would be a "fundamental violation of our society's basic understanding of the human person."
Last year, the House of Delegates passed a bill that would have provided greater anti-discrimination protections for transgender people in the areas of housing, employment and lending. That bill died in the Senate, however. In 2010, a similar bill had hearings in both chambers but received no further action.
Representative Kelly Cassidy has filed a bill in the Illinois House of Representatives that would amend the Criminal Code of 1961 to include "gender identity, military status and immigration status" with regards to hate crimes. The bill was authored by The Civil Rights Agenda.
TCRA executive director Anthony Martinez stated
"This is an extremely important bill for the transgender community, and we are very grateful to Representative Cassidy for sponsoring legislation that will advance transgender rights in Illinois. Transgender individuals face pervasive discrimination in every aspect of their lives, and we work with an unconscionable number of transgender individuals who have experienced violence simply because they are transgender.
"A report released last July by the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (NCAPV) shows that transgender women make up 44 percent of all LGBT murder victims. The study also reported a troubling 13 percent rise in anti-LGBT hate crimes in 2010, and, unfortunately, there is constant violence that goes unreported. Many of the transgender folks who come to us, especially transgender women, say that they don't feel comfortable reporting an assault because they think they are either going to face police harassment, or they are not going to be seen as a victim but as the person who brought on the attack. The NCAPV study found that over half of survivors did not report the event to the police. Of those who did go to the police, over 60 percent said authorities were 'indifferent, abusive or deterrent.' This response was most common among transgender people of color–those most likely to be victim to a crime."
TCRA political and policy director Lowell Jaffe stated "As a member organization of the LGBTQ Immigration Coalition, and as an organization that works with many transgender individuals that have experienced crimes motivated by hate and discrimination, as well as an organization that fought for the repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' and is committed to the needs of LGBT service members and veterans, we recognized that hate crime protections in Illinois must be expanded. The federal Hate Crimes Act includes crimes committed because of a victim's sexual orientation and/or gender identity, but limitations to federal jurisdiction and State's rights create strict limitations as to when federal agencies can act on a hate crime here in Illinois. This law will allow our state to prosecute these crimes more effectively."
After a transgender women was brutally stabbed last week in our nation's capital, it was announced just a day later that she died as the result of the attack. And while we wish we could say this was a rare event, the reality is that all too often those within the transgender and gender queer communities are regularly the victims of violent assaults. In Philly, there are many still open cases involving transgender people – like Nizah Morris, who died of a headwound shortly after being released from police custody in 2002. The case still hasn't been solved.
The LGBT community has made some important strides in recent years, but it's not always true for those like Deoni Jones – this latest victim in Washington D.C.
Jones was just 22 years old when she was stabbed at a bus stop on East Capitol Street on Thursday. It was about 8:15 p.m. – and by early Friday morning, the transgender woman was pronounced dead from the injuries sustained by an unknown assailant.
Many within the LGBT community are not only furious about the ongoing violence directed at the transgender community, but also the way in which the mainstream press reports it. In this case, a few D.C. news outlets failed to refer to Jones transgender, and instead, said she was a man who lived as a woman.
"We condemn in the strongest possible terms the transphobic language deployed by several media outlets last night and this morning," said Jason Terry of the D.C. Transgender Coalition. "While we certainly agree that the general public needs to be aware of trans community's losses and successes, it is imperative that members of the press refer to trans people in a way that respects each person's gender identity or expression."
Here in Philly, we want to remind you that there are also resources available from the Transgender Health Action Coalition, including a 24-hour hotline: 215-732-1207.
The coalition has also published a helpful safety guide that, quite frankly, is worth reading no matter what your gender or sexual orientation may be. You can access it by clicking here.

Listen My Son Lyrics - The Unseen Guest
Put one foot in front of the other
Is all I know
Before you know it you'll be falling down the road.
And over at the crossroad they stole the sign
So all you do is walk through a straight line.
Listen, Listen, My son, My son
I won't tell you twice what I can't tell you once
They bypassed the route I used to take
But you can't escape the time you now make.
So I find myself on the highway on my own
The median's my pathway and my home.

It might not have been the Rams, but it was still football, and football is good. The Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints opened up the 2012 preseason on Sunday night in the Hall of Fame Game, with the Saints beating the Cards 17-10.
As with most preseason games, the final score wasn't what was important. What is important, however, is that Arizona's quarterback situation looks just as bad as it was last season. Potential starter Kevin Kolb came out and promptly threw an interception on his first pass of the game, then after a three-and-out, he was hit and left the game with a rib contusion. Yeah, that sounds about right for Kolb. John Skelton actually looked pretty solid during his turn, but everyone who is saying the Rams are a sure thing to finish last in the West again should probably rethink that opinion until Arizona finds a quarterback.
Drew Brees was Drew Brees in his only drive of the evening, as he marched the Saints down the field for a touchdown and finished 4/5 for 41 yards. Mizzou great Chase Daniel had a nice night after Brees left, as he finished 15/20 for 203 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT. Not bad.
Overall, although I didn't really care much about this game, it was still great to see NFL football back on the TV screen. Now we just have to wait a week to finally see the Rams.

It was nice to see New York Knicks president Phil Jackson address the media on Tuesday.
Who knows, maybe Steve Mills didn't get the memo about front office personnel having to address the media.
Jackson had some interesting things to say as it pertains to the pending free agency of Carmelo Anthony, including the fact that he needs to take less money in order to stay with the Knicks.
He brought up the cores in San Antonio and Miami as reason why 'Melo needs to take less money and said that is the beginning of team play and building chemistry.
Jackson also said he hopes that Anthony stays true to his word, as 'Melo indicated during the season that he would be willing to take less money in order to stay in New York.
"That's, I think, a precedent that's been set," Jackson told Peter Botte of the New York Daily News. "Because the way things have been structured now financially for teams is that it's really hard to have one or two top stars or max players, and to put together a team with enough talent, you've got to have people making sacrifices financially.
"So we hope that Carmelo is true to his word and we understand what it's going to take and we will present that to him at that time."
Even more interesting was the fact that Jackson seems totally content in allowing Anthony to walk.
"I'm all about moving forward," Jackson said. "Just deal with what is and move forward. If it's in the cards, man, are we fortunate. If it's not in the cards, man, are we fortunate. We're going forward anyway."
One thing seems apparently clear and that is the fact that Anthony will be taking a pay cut when he hits the open market this summer.
The only question is will that pay cut come from the Knicks or another franchise?

I've just been pointer to this jaw-dropping paper: "Stealthy Dopant-Level Hardware Trojans" that shows how a complex integrated circuit could be maliciously compromised.
This new type of sub-transistor level hardware Trojan that only requires modication of the dopant masks. No additional transistors or gates are added and no other layout mask needs to be modied.
Since only changes to the metal, polysilicion or active area can be reliably detected with optical inspection, this dopant Trojans are immune to optical inspection, one of the most important Trojan detection mechanisms.
As proof of concept they were able to make changes to several hundred gates of an Intel Ivy Bridge processor which sabotaged the Random Number Generator (RNG) instructions. The exploit works by reducing the amount of entropy the RNG normally uses, from 128 bits to 32 bits. Any cryptographic keys generated by the compromised chip would be easy to crack. The hacked RNG was not detected by any of the "Built-In Self-Tests" mandated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
All in all, it doesn't matter how strong your cryptography method is, it can be easily cracked if you don't have a reliable source of entropy, and in this case, it seems somebody has cut to the root of the "problem". Be aware.

Great story even though it does need some editing. But Great job! I just wanted to know what happened with Chris and how he had a change in how he saw and was starting to feel about Erica, the girl he had to kiss in the cafeteria because of a bet?
Author's Response: Thanks for the review Jennifer! I'm always going through and correcting any mistakes I might have made. I don't always catch them all but if you could tell me where the errors are, I'll be more than happy to fix them. Also, you and some of the other readers have been asking about Chris and Erica. I'm thinking about doing a piece on them but I don't like working on more than one story at a time. I'll give them their story once Learning to Heal is finished. Thanks again!

I liked the ending...I'm confused about the second part I should be reading though...I've read all the chapters plus the Epilogue. Can you be more specific about this second part? Like what chapter does the "change" take place?
Author's Response: When I first posted the ending it didn't have the part about their honeymoon in it. Four people read and reviewed only the part about Malia and her family and them setting a date. One of them said they wanted to know what happened after the wedding so I added the part that comes after *^*^*^*^ this line. Didn't mean to confuse anyone. Thanks for the review!

I love your stories and the characters and i have been waiting a long time for the end of this story and im happy that Malia gets the happy ending that she deserves but...I feel that you might have rushed the ending too fast and that there were some loose ends that couldve been tied up more nicely but overall the story was great i really enjoyed it.

We love it when couples plan a little extra time in their wedding day for photography. One of the ways to do this is with a first sighting; another approach is to do what Julia and Jared did — adding a bit of extra time between the ceremony and the reception. They contacted a nearby Apple orchard and asked permission to do their bridal party photography on the grounds, and the folks at Focastle Farms allowed us to photograph on their beautiful farm as well. Just a little bit of planning let Julia and Jared and their bridal party have a great time in front of the camera, and it shows!
What beautiful pictures to remember your special day. I love the pictures in the orchard. I think the one in front of the blue barn belongs in a magazine. So unique! (Also captures the love and fun you two share.) Thanks for sharing.
We love our pictures!! Thank you so much to Brenda and Paul.
Great stuff. Some of the best wedding pics I've seen! I especially like the first one. Congrats, you two!

10 things I miss about my iPhone now that I'm on Android
Summary: While my new Android phone made my old iPhone feel old, there are some things I actually miss about having an iPhone. Here are ten that might surprise you.
3 of 11Image
1. Too much crapware
While it's true that the iPhone comes with it's own crapware (the Newsstand icon that you can't even put in a folder comes to mind), there's no comparison to the rather considerable amount of can't-delete crapware that comes with the Android phone. I'm not even talking about all the Google Play apps. Do we really need Play Books, Play Magazines, Play Movies & TV, Play Music, and Play Store?
Oh, no. I'm talking about the crap Verizon and Samsung added. Apple has managed to keep the carriers' garbage off their phones, but when it comes to Android, you get a never-ending stream of junk. You also get a pile of upsells, like NFL Mobile and Caller Name ID (which is caller ID, but costs an extra $5 for names).
Image courtesy the crap loaded on my phone by the carrier and the manufacturer.
2. Consistency
Every iPhone looks and works the same. Yes, it's true you can't customize the launcher, but you can't customize the launcher. That means when your mom calls with a question about how to use her iPhone, you can answer knowing her phone works exactly like yours does.
When it comes to Android, there are a bunch of different candy coated names (Jelly Bean, Ice Cream Sandwich, Honeycomb), and even different launchers, not just dependent on which phone maker you have, but also those you might add on your own. It gives a ton of freedom, but it's sure not the best for predictability.
Personally, I still like tweaking my new Android, but there is something to be said for consistency of home screens.
Image courtesy my same-ol-same-ol iPhone.
3. Microsoft Office 365 support
While it's pretty obvious why Microsoft hasn't given in and offered a version of Office for the iPad, they have provided a version of Office for the iPhone that's functionally identical to that on Windows Phone. As an Office 365 user, I would like to have had that feature on Android, but it's not available (at least for now).
I miss that. Sure, there are a lot of Office clones on Android, including one that came with the phone, but it's not the same thing as running real Office Mobile for my Office 365 account on my phone.
I miss that.

My Phone:

Motorola Milestone XT720
came with 2.1 on it and is still the OS.

I think i just got shitty luck but here it goes. I have won this phone threw the company WIND in a draw and i actually liked it after i added a bunch of apps to make it what i wanted it is well was Rooted and Overclocked to 1.2GHz. Now i havent had any real problems with it but for some stupid reason it likes to shut the data off on its own and i have no setting for this what i mean is its got a mind of its own well anyways the only way to get the data to come back is either turn the phone off then back on, or, go into the settings and turn ON airplane mode then turn it off again. Now this would turn my data connection back on. About a week or so ago i turned it off then turned it back on only to get the boot screen, the very 1st screen where the Motorola symbol is and now its stuck there it wont go any farther. Now, i can get into i guess u'd call it "Safe-Mode" or the "Bios" which comes up with only 4 options: 1.) Reboot Phone
2.) Apply SD-Card Load-Boot (something like that) 3.) Factory Reset, Wipe phone memory/apps etc.
4.) Wipe Cache

Now i have tried them all and get the same response same screen and it still will not boot up or start. Now the only method i havent been able to try becuz i can NOT find the proper file is put the 2.1 Android OS on a SD-Card and then go to the boot thing screen, becuz when i went to it after i did the reset thats all that its saying is "File E:/ unable to read or load File incorrect".
So what im thinking is that if i find the proper Android 2.1 file i will be able to boot the phone backup off of the SD-Card . But all the files i have found are loading it from the phone working NOT just booting it off the SD-Card

And heres where it kinda sucks even more the phone i won on the 25th of February.2011. so it would be in warranty you would think but due to it being won not purchased they (WIND) wont warranty it and without a proof of purchase its kinda difficult to get Motorola to warranty it.

So if anyone has any thoughts, good ideas or suggestions PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE feel free to let me no i really dont want the phone to be nothing more then a paper weight.

THANKS-YOU VERY MUCH

I'll go to the screen where u can see the download bar and it says downloading and its just stuck on it wont download and it isnt paused but get this one, if i go on wi-fi it'll let me download apps. Tell me thats not fuckd up. Ive talked to the service provider (Mobilicity) & theyve done theyre little reset thingy they do and theyve checkd everything and they say its fine on there end. So Im kinda confused on whos fault this would be 1.) Sony Ericsson, 2.) Google, 3.) Service Provider-Mobilicity????????? I donno but should i try rooting it cuz it isnt rooted??? Can u think of anything?? I was going to try and do a reset on it again but this time create a new gmail account and see what that does but ive read that that wont do anything!! Whata you think????

Gosport Curriculum Innovation Conference, Hampshire
A workshop, and keynote, to open the Gosport Curriculum Innovation Conference at the Holiday Inn, Fareham, Hampshire.
The Gosport Curriculum Innovation Group numbers 30 schools; 3 secondaries, 27 primary / junior / infant, holds an annual Conference which focuses on 2 aspects of their collaborative work for the coming year. This year it's Writing and Assessment, and joining us today were colleagues from: Peel Common Infant, Peel Common Junior, Rowner Infant, Rowner Junior, Woodcot Primary, Bedenham Primary, Holbrook Primary, Gomer Infant, Gomer Junior, Newtown C of E Primary, Siskin Infant, Siskin Junior, St John's C of E Primary, Elson Junior, Brockhurst Infant, Alverstoke Infant, Alverstoke C of E Junior, Haselworth Primary, Leesland Infant, Leesland junior, Lee-on-the-Solent Infant, Lee-on-the-Solent Junior, Brune Park Secondary, St Mary's Catholic Primary and Grange Infant.
Thank you to Celia Rich, Headteacher, Elson Junior School, for organising our involvement, and for these thoughts:
Thirty schools from all phases belong to the Gosport Curriculum Innovation Group. We are developing a curriculum to meet the needs our learners have vocalised in the following vision created by a representative group of Gosport Learners:
"I want to be well anchored – have the academic foundation, motivation, self confidence, ability to work alone or with others and have the positive attitude on which success in life depends. I want to have the sails to carry me – flexibility, curiosity, creativity and the resilience to learn from my mistakes, to take me beyond the horizon to places I have only dreamed of.
Gosport Learners – 'DREAM BIG TODAY ACHIEVE BIG TOMORROW'
I am a Gosport Learner – where will my dreams take me?"
We share best practice at our half termly meetings, Our pupils also present their work and ideas too. for example we have heard from pupils from Year 1 to Year 9 about: Writing stimuli they have enjoyed from chocolate tasting, to dragon hunts and e-books. Reading schemes and approaches that have motivated them and improved their skills and love of reading. What is the best teacher feedback we can give to help them improve their learning? Our collaboration, enriches the experience of all; we are continually learning from both our students and each other.
Gosport is an exciting place to work and learn because of this mutual support and involvement of our pupils. Everyone GAINS together.
In another afternoon workshop, Dame Reena Keeble looked at developing effective assessment systems

Rowlatts Hill Primary School, Leicester ~ Day 2
Following yesterday's INSET, our second day at Rowlatts Hill Primary and, this time, with the children joining us.
Journeys with journals. Verbal, and written, jazz. Off the cuff creativity galore. Speaking, listening, writing, inventing, playing and developing.
This is old style teaching: simile, metaphor, and much, much more. We wandered in the world of words in a couple of great, virtual, settings. Before we can develop sentence structure, and expand adventurous vocabulary, we have to expand children's experiences, and passion for picking up words, and juggling them.
One of the early areas of Myst 4 Revelation is a truly remarkable stimulus for discussion, inventive writing, and beyond.
The true-to-life weather, with scudding clouds forming shadows that race across the boardwalk; the ability to touch and tap the railing you are leaning against, to investigate whether it is solid or hollow; the discarded flippers on a lower platform that spark a debate about who lives in a place like this…
Thank you to Jay Virk, Headteacher, her colleagues, and children, for a great day of laughter and learning.

What happens when fish get high on discarded drugs?
A Swedish study examines the effects of discarded drugs on fish.
The Washington Post
What happens to a fish on drugs?
If it's a wild European perch exposed to a popular anxiety medication, chances are it's anti-social, wanders away from the safety of its group and devours food more quickly than its peers, all behaviors that could have profound ecological consequences, according to a forthcoming report in the journal Science.
In a study aimed at understanding the environmental impacts of pharmaceuticals that often wind up in the world's waterways through wastewater, researchers from Umeå University in Sweden examined how perch behaved when exposed to oxazepam, a drug commonly used to treat anxiety disorders in humans.
The scientists exposed the fish to concentrations of the drug similar to those found in the waters near densely populated areas in Sweden.
The result?
"Normally, perch are shy and hunt in schools. This is a known strategy for survival and growth. But those who swam in oxazepam became considerably bolder," said ecologist Tomas Brodin, leader author of the article. They "lost interest in hanging out with the group."
Brodin told an audience at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Boston on Thursday that researchers conducted a "boldness test" on the perch, opening a door that would allow them to swim from a small box into a much larger water tank.
The fish with no drugs in their system remained timid and "didn't come out at all," he said, while those on oxazepam did.
"We think it's working through stress relief on the fish," Brodin said. "It removes the fear of being eaten."
The researchers said those behaviors, coupled with the tendency to scarf down food faster than normal, could alter the composition of the species and lead to ecological changes in the real world. For example, if they consumed more plankton, it could lead to an increase in algae.
Although Brodin and his colleagues focused on oxazepam in their research, they noted that residue from a "veritable cocktail of drugs" can be found in waterways worldwide.
Past studies have confirmed that a growing cocktail of pharmaceuticals and other pollutants — including shampoos, perfumes, heart medications, painkillers and birth-control pills — exists in waterways worldwide.
There has been scant evidence thus far that the chemical traces pose any dangers to humans, but researchers have plenty to learn.
The Environmental Protection Agency has conducted or funded a growing body of research aimed at better understanding the sources and types of drugs that wind up in wastewater and in fish.
The agency also has studied drug-disposal practices in hospitals, hospices and other facilities and has said it will take regulatory actions whenever appropriate to limit the amount of pharmaceuticals that end up in water.

SEC Three & Out: Vandy In Play For O'Brien?
CFN SEC columnist Barrett Sallee examines the offseason in the SEC.
|Is Alshon Jeffery in shape for the combine?
INDIANAPOLIS -- Few draft prospects will be under more intense scrutiny at the NFL scouting combine as South Carolina All-American wide receiver Alshon Jeffery. Unconfirmed rumors have surrounded Jeffery, speculating that he'll report overweight and not test well this week. Here's what we've been hearing:
NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock said he doesn't grade Jeffery as a first-round draft pick, questioning his ability to separate from NFL defensive backs.
According to sources and a player who's been training with Jeffery near Tampa, Fla., the Gamecocks star wideout is actually in good shape. How fast he'll run the 40-yard dash remains unclear.
"Oh yeah, Alshon's in good shape," said Bethune-Cookman outside linebacker-defensive end Ryan Davis, who's been training with Jeffery in Florida. "He's looking very good out there. He's going to turn a lot of heads. He's a big receiver, but he's not fat. I laugh when I see that on TV. He's been smirking. I bet he runs a 4.5. He's way down in his weight. He's between 217 and 220 right now."
Listed at 6-foot-4, 229 pounds, Jeffery was rumored to be as heavy as 235 pounds.
"I don't know what he actually played at," Mayock said. "I've heard recently, and I know there were all those rumors out there that he put weight on. I don't really care what he weighs in at. If he's smart and his agent is smart, he'll come in at 220, in the best shape of his life, ready to run a 40.
"Alshon Jeffrey does not separate. He struggles getting off the line of scrimmage against quality press corners. Same with Mohamed Sanu. So what those guys run is important. To me he ought to come in no higher than 220. He needs to run somewhere in those mid 4.5. Worst-case scenario, you see the mid 4.5, 4.6, it's going to be a problem."
Jeffery's production took a hit during his senior year, finishing with 49 receptions for 762 yards and eight touchdowns as the Gamecocks' quarterbacking was inconsistent. He had a strong bowl game, though, against Nebraska as he caught four passes for 148 yards and a touchdown.
As a junior, Jeffery caught a career-high 88 passes for 1,517 yards and nine touchdowns.
Past accomplishments aside, it's pivotal that Jeffery dispel the perception that he can't be a respetable intermedia to deep threat for an NFL team to invest a high draft pick in him. Jeffery has drawn comparisons to Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Mike Williams, an imposing downfield target who lacks explosiveness.
That's not the NFL role model that Jeffery is shooting for.
"Big and fast is good," Mayock said. "Big and slow is bad. So, if he comes in for 235 and runs well, nobody's going to say a word. But the bottom line is either at the combine or the pro day, he has got to run well."

Simply one word - Destiny. An important and historical contribution to gaming. It'll be a turning point to be sure. This is a game that's going to pave the way for more MMO shooters. Or it won't. Maybe it's the herald of the second big crash of the gaming industry, which many people seem to think is on its way...

Simple question. Do you think video games should be cheaper or more expensive? Shit, that's two quesitons. Whatever... vote away. Video games should be: More expensive. Cheaper. Way cheaper. No middle ground, fuckers! In other words, things are bullshit right now. Games are too fucking expensive. That's a fact. You vote for 'more expensive' I'll probably kill you. Vote now.

Many gaming web sites are not posting reviews of PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of certain titles. Does this bother you at all? Which would you prefer right now (PC reviews go without saying): Xbox One & PS4 reviews. Xbox 360 & PS3 reviews. Vote away.
