Great product, works well for me! (Posted on March 22, 2012)
Review by Matthew S. -
Price Value Quality
I've been very pleased with the product so far. It is fairly quiet and runs like a champ. I have yet to encounter an issue which makes me very happy with the purchase.
Couple of quick notes:
This item was a large delivery so even if you have Amazon Prime, a specialty company will have to deliver the product.
Installation was not bad, but I did run into the problem not recognizing that the screws were already pre-inserted into the places they needed to go. Just make sure to look at the pieces and notice the screws are there before spending 5 minutes searching for the "missing" screws.
Definitely have another person help you install the treadmill as it is heavy. -
Solid treadmill (Posted on May 11, 2012)
Review by mc -
Price Value Quality
a) solid frame
b) quick-access buttons for incline/decline and speed on the handles
c) simple easy-to-use controls
d) emergency stop
e) automatic shut-off
f) no roughness/shaking at higher speeds
g) the motor is more than adequate
h) the console layout is clean and also practical
i) will fold up easily, but use of space vacated by raised running board requires that the front be facing a less-used area?
Neither here or there--
a) the running board is somewhat stiff
b) the plastic cover seems somewhat hard to clean (sweat against regular cleaner)
c) the music port/speakers are adequate (don't use it that much)
d) the training usb storage device/Lifespan Fitness Club is at most a curiosity for seasoned athletes
a) stops the workout at 99 minutes
b) incline setting does not reset automatically
c) no wheels underneath/not portable
d) pretty heavy and assembly required
e) no cool down setting/button
f) you have to press the mode button to get the pulse measurements
g) the initial pace should be set at 1mph, not 0.5 (too slow)
About me:
3:20 marathoner. I usually do easy runs on the TM at around 6mph, 2 times a week, 3 hour total. I sometimes do speedwork on the treadmill. I used to own a Pacemaster Gold Elite.
Very happy with the TM so far. My GF is happy with it as well. I bought it to keep myself healthy, since I work from home. While it can't do the heavy work that my Pacemaster used to do, I can easily achieve the same results on this TM if I'm smart about it. A great buy. Thanks for the earlier reviews--the reviewers did not disappoint. -

Great treadmill (Posted on June 26, 2011)
Review by Chung-yi C. "Chiang" -
Price Value Quality
1. Delivery: couldn't be better.
I ordered it from Amazon. After placing the order, the freight carrier scheduled a time with me to deliver it. It was delivered to the room where I was going to set it up.
2. Installation: simple but heavy.
It is better to be installed by two people. I was doing it all by myself, but I did it slowly. Two people can get it finished in 15min.
3. Performance: excellent.
Compared with the other treadmills I ever used at gyms, this one is relatively quiet. There is nearly no noise below 3mph. you may think the noise it generates at 6mph is too loud. It is actually quieter than the feet stepping on the belt. I usually runs a 6.5 to 7mph, and the machine certainly has no problem to reach that.
After using 15hrs, I noticed the motor or belt generating some laud noise. So, I spread the lubricant oil on the belt as instructed, and then the noise disappeared. I guessed it was just because the belt dried out while sitting in the warehouse. In fact, the manual does suggest users lubricate the belt after the installation. So, it's better to lubricate the belt before you use it for the first time.
4. Control panel: Nice, but could be better.
That USB included in the box give you a membership to upload your exercise record so that you can track your own progress. Great values.
To start, I have to press Start button, which starts at 0.5mph. I couldn't press 3mph or 6mph button to start engage at higher speed right away. I guess this is for safety sake, but not very convenient for me.
5. Heart rate: pick up and get steady slowly.
It took me a while to figure out how make the measurement correctly. Can't grip it tight. Just place the palms on the sensors. It takes almost half minutes to show on the screen and longer to get the right reading. It is always lower than the actual rate a lot at the beginning and takes about 1 min to become steady and correct. But, this is just a minor problem.
6. Belt alignment: not sure.
My belt is not completely aligned. I always can see a small gap at left front side, but not at the left back side (the end). That seems to suggest the belt is not parallel to side rim. I spent a lot time to adjust it according the manual but couldn't make the gap even (at front and back) or smaller. I don't bother to try it any more since the gap is not affecting my exercise and the belt is not drifting at all. There got to be a way to align it. I just don't know how.
Overall, I love this treadmill. It's a great product with a wonderful price. -
Good treadmill with some annoyances (Posted on March 5, 2012)
Review by Michael -
Price Value Quality
Very quiet - night and day compared to my 15 year old Proform from Sears.
Nice feature set for the most part
Ability to log runs via USB and Online Fitness Club Membership (included) is nice
Turns out to be compatible with my Polar Wearlink heart rate strap - an unexpected plus. Didn't have to buy one from Lifespan.
As others have noted, there is a definite issue with alignment of holes for bolts during setup. And similar to others I had to grind slightly larger holes and really torque the bolts in to get through, possibly damaging threads. I can't imagine why Lifespan hasn't fixed this given the number of reviews complaining about it. Frankly, if I hadn't had a good ratchet wrench, a power screwdriver, and a rotary tool with grinding bit, it would have been a big problem. A real shame given that it seems to be a high quality unit otherwise.
The assembly instructions were just fair - there was some confusion about where to find some of the screws (you have to unscrew them first from the pieces - this is noted in some cases, but not in others). Assembly took twice as long as it should have due to the issues. Once together though it's nice.
More Cons:
The built-in programs are all very similar to each other. There are three sets of programs - Sports training, general health and weight loss. Each of these groups has very similar programs with barely any difference that I can detect - unless there are differences that are not explained in the manual. Which is a shame again because it would have been really helpful to have some true variety and greater range of challenge. But you do still have a couple custom programs you can create.
The USB logging with the online club isn't very well explained - in general, the online fitness club has a lot of potential and some nice features, but again, it's very hard to figure it out - the interface is awkward and not very intuitive.
Strangely, even though Lifespan sells an indoor rowing machine with the Online Fitness club membership, the online fitness club does not have a way to log that kind of exercise. Hopefully they will improve it.
One general complaint that is not just about Lifespan - I have several pieces of equipment that have various forms of online logging, including a polar heart rate monitor. I wish there was way to import/export data from them so I could pick one online logging/planning system rather than having my data scattered. But that isn't just a lifespan issue.
Overall - I still give it 4 stars because in the end, it's the treadmill hardware that matters most and that seems to be very good. I would certainly buy it again (so far). Most of the complaints could be fairly easily addressed by Lifespan - I hope they will do that. -
Money Well Spent (Posted on Feb. 17, 2013)
Review by Shane W. -
Price Value Quality
In hindsight, assembly was very simplistic. This thing is almost completely put together when it arrives. I decided to take the setup of this treadmill on by myself and that did increase the difficulty; getting it out of the box was the hardest part for me. Since the manual it comes with covers several different models, there were some directional errors with regard to setup (such as discussing self-tapping screws which were actually screws that needed to be removed and re-placed in order to assemble, misnaming screw types, etc). Also, the upright locking feature caused me some real frustration at first when I realized I couldn't unlock it based on the manual. Luckily there was a sticker on the machine itself which helped clarify; you'll have to give the machine a light pull toward you after kicking in the tension bar in order to get the belt back on the floor. As mentioned though, looking back at the setup frustrations, there were really only 5 or six small cover pieces to screw to the machine, and the panel to attach. I've never encountered a piece of exercise equipment this easy to assemble.
My advice to those thinking of looking for something cheaper would be to avoid that at all costs. Not only is this machine worth the money, it also looks and runs better than most any treadmill I've ever encountered in my time spent at a number of gyms, hotel exercise rooms, and so on. This thing comes damn near ready to use, runs amazingly well, will support the norms of workout desires (places to store bottles, MP3 player compatibility, even a bar for placing a Kindle above the display), and looks fantastic. I would gladly recommend this product to anyone in the market for a treadmill. -

I LOVE this treadmill! (Posted on April 10, 2011)
Review by Book Lover "I love to read" -
Price Value Quality
I absolutely love it already and I am so glad I made the choice to go with this particular treadmill. I did my research for quite a while before I made my decision. Being that it did not have one single negative review on Amazon, helped to seal the deal for me as I know that the people giving these reviews are the ones actually using it and not just some so-called "expert" giving their opinion, but not really using it.
It is very user-friendly, with good sized digital readouts making it so easy. The thing I love the most about it, is that it is so unbelievably quiet! I kept reading that in other people's reviews, but I didn't really think it would be as quiet as it really is! I have it positioned in front of my big screen TV and I didn't even have to turn the volume up to screaming mode to hear it! Last night I worked out on it for an hour and 15 minutes while I watched some of my DVR'd shows and I hardly even noticed that I was working out because it was so quiet and I was absorbed into my TV show. It is just fabulous! I love the magazine/book holder on the dash too, as that has always been my biggest complaints about other treadmills. I love to read while I am working out and this gives me the opportunity to do so without holding on to anything! I also love the i-pod hookup, that is another nice bonus!
I also LOVE the pause feature! On my old treadmill, if I had to stop for any reason, I lost all my settings (time, speed, etc.) and had to start all over. With this one, you just hit the stop button and it pauses right in the middle of your workout... you go do whatever and come back and hit start and it picks right back up on the time you had already completed and goes right back to the speed you were at.
Another great feature is the countdown. When you start the treadmill, it starts "counting down" to let you know it is going to slowly start. It doesn't just catch you off guard and start suddenly! I love that. This treadmill really has it all for a fabulous price!
The one and only complaint I have about it thus far is that it does not turn off on the dash! This is a bit puzzling to me, I have no clue why the engineers would not put the on/off switch on the dash! That is the first time I have ever seen that on a treadmill. You either have to unplug it or turn it off by the switch on the front of the belt down by the floor. Very odd to me. Overall, I highly recommend this treadmill! I do not think you can go wrong with this purchase!
UPDATE: A year and a half later, I still love this treadmill!! If you are like me, you realize that most people review items within days of receiving it and therefore you do not get the review from "tried and true" usage, so I wanted to add my year and a half later update that it is still wonderful and I have not had one single problem from it!! I still highly recommend it! -
Very great treadmill, reviews spot on (Posted on May 11, 2011)
Review by Z. Cavaricci -
Price Value Quality
I ended up not being able to put on the last piece which covers the wiring in the back, not sure but the screws wouldn't go into the holes. I don't think this was my fault this time, must be the holes were not properly drilled through. Anyway, this is purely a cosmetic piece and doesn't affect the functionality.
As for using it, it is pretty straight forward. The display is nice and big, shows all the important metrics. I am not sure how to make it show pace instead of speed since I run based on that as opposed to speed, I'll have to read the manual some more. There are pre-planned programs, but I mostly just like to do my own thing, so that's what I did for the first run. The thing is very quiet, I was very surprised. It is super sturdy, I am of average weight and height for a male (5'10, 155) so I don't foresee it ever breaking down on me due to wear and tear I am hoping. The controls on the handles are a very nice bonus, it is like the really nice treadmills at the gym and allows you to stay more in "the zone" as opposed to trying to reach forward and finding the speed/incline buttons. This way you can run more in the "middle" of the treadmill as opposed to toward the front.
I did a 3 mile run, around 7 speed, and since I'm a heavy sweater, I know I will now need to invest in some heavy duty fans. The speakers were actually not as bad as I thought they would be based on some other reviewers. I couldn't find any volume buttons though, had to use the volume on my iphone, I'll have to read the manual some more. I haven't tried the online club that comes with the treadmill, I am letting my gf use it since she has goals of losing weight whereas I am just doing it to get in shape. It comes with a usb device that will record all your data and let you upload it, from what I hear.
The treadmill folds up very nicely after use, and isn't too heavy on that side; the hydraulic release is a nice touch. All in all, this is a great purchase, and I look forward to running on it, as will my gf.
Very sturdy, well-built
Buttons on the rails are very useful
Easy to read display
Extremely quiet
Good warranty
A good value
1 Free membership to online tracker
No fans
Very heavy
No volume control?
Show pace instead of speed?

Apple Ordered to Stagger E-Book Contract Negotiations, Refrain From 'Most Favored Nation' Clauses
Judge Denise Cote today issued her penalty ruling in the e-book pricing suit against Apple, ruling that Apple must stagger its contract negotiations with major publishers to prevent collusion and avoid entering into "most favored nation" (MFN) agreements with any publisher for five years, according to GigaOM. The MFN clauses in Apple's contracts with publishers prevented any other e-book retailer from undercutting Apple, giving Apple the right to at least match the best pricing offered by other retailers. Quote:
Apple is also required to hire an external compliance monitor to ensure that the company is complying with antitrust requirements. In a win for Apple, Cote's ruling does not require the company to allow the return of direct store links from competing e-book distributors in their App Store apps, something the U.S. Department of Justice had requested in its proposed penalties. Apple continues to deny that it engaged in price fixing, and is pursuing an appeal of the guilty verdict.

Government is overreaching here, by telling a corporation what they can and cannot do.
If the law is clear, Apple has to abide by it and if they don't they should get fined every time they break it until they do. Anything else is not the DOJ's or a judges business.

(1) There are separate lawsuits for money, potentially big money. A guilty verdict really helps those cases. (2) It does not want a precedent that MFN + Agency Model = Anti-Trust. (3) The concern that, as much as the judge was clear that the verdict is about the iBooks store and only the iBooks store, the external monitor will try to assert authority into the rest of the business (like the DoJ wanted to control). If the external monitor is enforcing the injunction and only the injunction, it's going to be a pretty boring job: When are you entering negotiations with the publishers for renewal? Is there an MFN clause in these new contracts? |

Well, it's pretty clear now and they will get fined [again] if they break it again. In fact it was clear the first time around.

Agreed, absolutely. Apple should have settled this ages ago, before it went to trial. They now have a graceful exit opportunity, and the ability to say they won some of their points with the judge. Get on with business, Apple. Get rid of the distractions.

One thing, the timing is odd. The external monitor will be in place for two years to make sure Apple follows the injunction on the contracts. But the next contract action won't happen for two years. Seems like the monitor won't have much to do. |

(2) Doesn't matter, since they have no partners for an agency model now anyway. (3) The monitor reports to the court, and it isn't the judge's job to make this task interesting. If the DoJ wants to litigate some other aspect of Apple's business under the antitrust laws, they will have to file another suit. The longer Apple stays in court the easier it becomes to make factual findings that could prove damaging. This is why they should have stayed out of court in the first place, and why they should not go back now.

Apple was smart to try and fix the prices. The free market, if left alone would have prices moving downward to just above the actual cost of the books. Apple sem to LIKE the free market in their app stores and sees what happens, prices fall when there is direct head to head competition. They did not want that in their book store. If Apple were smarter they would sell books dirt cheap so that people would buy more iPads, Apple's model is to sell hardware so they should break even on the content. |

If the MFN provision was ruled legal and is prohibited in the "punishment", the order itself may be illegal.
I agree this is a relatively good outcome considering DoJ's positioin going in. I also agree DoJ was not allowing Apple to settle on terms anywhere close to what they got, so on that basis alone the trial was a win for Apple. Avoiding trial is a good general rule, but with the plaintiff being a Federal Regulator with unlimited unilateral power, extreme leverage for extortionate settlement offers, and a history of unilateral fines, the Trial Judge was the only player in this game where there is any chance of equity or sense of preponderance of the evidence AT ALL.

So then, 'don't engage in anti-competitive behaviour, don't negotiate in ways that might look like anti-competitive behaviour, hire someone to ensure they're not engaging in anti-competitive behaviour'. Sounds fair to me.
The DOJ request that Apple effectively invite Amazon into their marketplace would only have been reasonable if Amazon had been required to do the same for Apple, so that getting struck down also sounds fair.

And exactly why will it be illegal? Agency model is also legal and they have to break all the contracts. Perhaps it has to do with losing a case, but ey, I'm not a law expert, perhaps you can enlighten us

This is what happens when you have progressive interpretation of the constitution most specifically the commerce clause - the ability to pick winners and loser in the marketplace. People bitching and moan all the time about the government/lobbying but if it wasn't for the progressive they wouldn't be an issue. |

Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is an iron-related disorder that responds to treatment by phlebotomy or low-dose hydroxychloroquine, but comparative data on these treatments are limited. The hypothesis is that hydroxychloroquine is noninferior to phlebotomy in terms of time to remission. Patients with well documented PCT are assigned to treatment by randomization if specific criteria are met. All patients are followed until remission - defined as achieving a normal plasma porphyrin concentration.

Ford's Terror in southeast Alaska doesn't terrify many people. Maybe a few small boaters and kayakers. But not many others--and certainly not many cruise passengers. Dawes Glacier and the several miles of ice-strewn depths it leaves in its wake also doesn't scare many folks up here, either. Maybe a few scientists or geologists. Both give Jeff Behrens the chills. That's because he knows where they are and he goes there. And when Behrens goes, he takes a few friends with him.
Yesterday, July 3, was a day no guest on the Island Spirit will ever forget. It began in a perfect sunlight in Sanford Cove. Brisk is too nice a word. It was cold, especially once we got going up Endicott Arm toward Dawes Glacier. We hadn't been gone too long before the ice began showing up. Not small ice. Large ice. Tons of it in the form of thousands of bright white or blue fragments. Tons above surface and who knows how many tons below the surface. Behrens had the Island Spirit's hull completely reworked last winter just for this. But he's still not interested in meeting any of these boat-sized chunks of ice head-on.
We swerved, tacked, criss-crossed and slithered our way past miles of ice to put ourselves directly in front of Dawes Glacier, a tidewater glacier that comes down directly into the frigid waters of Endicott Arm. Cliffs rose for thousands of feet on either side of us and we sat directly in the gorge this glacier created as it receded over thousands of years. The only other boats in this water were research boats. Behrens said they've been up here this summer studying the effect that vessels and kayaks might have on harbor seals and their pups.
From there, we motored past the ice again and down to Ford's Terror. Entering this inlet, you'd think you were in just any other bay. But as you reach the back, your realize there is a tiny opening there that meanders back into the rock walls. Maybe a canoe or a small fishing boat would try this, you think, but not a 130 foot ship.
With a long blast of the Island Spirit's horns, Behrens announces his intention to enter this narrow sliver of water and then he does so. He told me afterwards that his margin of error is very slim. Losing a prop or scraping the hull here is the consequence of one wrong move at the helm.
The reward is cruising into a remote inlet that is fed by waterfalls too numerous to count, a piece of water that is guarded on all sides by towering mountains and sheer rockfaces, thousands of feet above. This is where we'll spend the fourth of July 2009. And trust me, we're alone. Ford's Terror belongs to us on this independence day. Thanks to a guy who thinks big and operates small, we've traded fireworks for kayaks, bottle rockets for tranquility.

Alaska Inside Passage Cruise
It's morning --about 5:30-- and I'm one of a few passengers and crew who are up. We're moored on Sanford Cove off Endicott Arm, several hours of cruise time outside Juneau, Alaska. The sky is cloudless, the water is still. We're surrounded by mountains. Literally. In every direction you look there are mountains, most of them either in snow or topped in snow. At one far end of the lake, 7-8 miles I'd guess, you can see the entrance to this cove.
If you are a morning person you live for this. There isn't much talking going on, what little there is is quiet. Everyone here has there own agenda right now--to view the landscape, maybe to shoot some early morning photography, maybe to have a cup of coffee on some part of this vessel where nobody else is hanging out. This is personal time and everyone respects that.
Yesterday, this trip took an invigorating turn when the sun forced its way onto the scene. While you cannot come to southeast Alaska and reasonably bring expectations for bright, clear skies with you, you can always hope. We've enjoyed an incredible trip thus far, sans sun, but the addition of sunlight on these mountains and waters draws the very best from them. From windy gray, we've entered into dazzling blues and whites. In that respect, we're lucky, that's all. Alaska is bigger than anyone's best expectations. You get what it gives you.
Late yesterday afternoon, after leaving the bustle of Juneau, we cruised into an evening beyond description. Small chunks of blue ice began to appear, torn from some distant glacier. An occasional seaplane broke the silence overhead. As we came into this cove for the night, we stopped to watch a few humpbacks, but left them for a grizzly bear on the distant shore. It was this group's first bear sighting and binoculars were passed from one to another to watch this huge animal forage in a glen just off the water. Only later, thanks to one member's telephoto camera lens and several shots, did we realize this bear was a female with two cubs in tow.
The last thing I noticed as the sun set was a huge cruise ship motoring along several miles away, in the main channel. This is why you take a small ship cruise like the one we're on. The Island Spirit is putting this small group of travelers into some very exclusive space.

Pondering the relationship between remembering and invention.

Jessica Biel Follows Us!
by Trent Gilliss, senior editor
What does Justin Timberlake and On Being have in common? Jessica Biel follows both of us on Twitter. And it gets better. She's been on Twitter since May 7th and follows four people — one being her fiance.
Well, how did us culture hounds discover this, you ask? Well, Ely, Minnesota's (at least she was born there…) very own Jessica Biel retweeted us:
"RT This week's show ("The Last Quiet Places") is an escapist's dream, an absolutely immersive experience: http://bit.ly/KOssdO #pubmedia"
Even better, she offers up not only this pleasing endorsement:
"Check out NPR's On Being podcast. Endlessly interesting."
And then corrects herself and gives our distributor some love too:
"Oops! I meant APM's On Being podcast. Still getting used to this twitter thing…"
A needed reprieve after a grueling week of production that put smiles on all our faces. Yes, we get starstruck too!
Brain Researcher Rex Jung: A Twitterscript
by Susan Leem, associate producer
Neuropsychologist Rex Jung is asking important questions about the origin and purpose of human creativity. He's using the latest laboratory techniques to peek inside our mental process with brain imaging. What he has found along the way "unsettles some old assumptions" about intelligence, creativity, personality, and even how we perceive ourselves as aging creatures.
On February 23rd, we live-tweeted highlights of his interview with Krista Tippett and have aggregated them below for those who weren't able to follow along. Follow us next time at @BeingTweets.
On Jealousy, Transparency, and Lies: John Moe on Mike Daisey and the This American Life Retraction
by Trent Gilliss, senior editor
Yesterday Ira Glass sent an email revealing that This American Life's report on Apple's manufacturing supplier in China "contained significant fabrications." Mike Daisey's story and TAL's decisions to go to air and later retract the show have sparked a lot of discussion in journalism and public radio circles.
There's a lot of praising, challenging, and questioning going on. Frankly, much of it feels like punditry and harmless posturing. But, this Saturday afternoon a stream of tweets by Marketplace's John Moe put a human face on this story and some of the underlying ethical issues at stake.
(I've kept the format in order to preserve, hopefully, the rhythm of Moe's thoughts.)
I knew Daisey for many years, although its been several years since I've talked to him. But I saw his first audition when he came to Seattle
5:22 PM - 17 Mar 12
It was the best audition I'd ever seen. A monologue about Wrath of Khan. Astounding. Completely improvised, I later learned.
5:23 PM - 17 Mar 12
I worked at a temp agency and gave him temp jobs. Mike later worked at Amazon when I did. Then he quit and made a 1-man show about Amazon.
5:25 PM - 17 Mar 12
It bugged me that Amazon paid him salary and benefits and then he turned around and ripped them. I was also jealous of his talent & success.
5:26 PM - 17 Mar 12
Then he got a book deal! So I was jealous of his talent and success in writing and theater.
5:29 PM - 17 Mar 12
In his book, he said things about my department at Amazon that weren't true or were exaggerated and/or twisted. Which angered me. So…
5:30 PM - 17 Mar 12
Over the years I haven't known how to view his success. Astoundingly talented guy, I questioned his ethics, but I was jealous/petty too.
5:32 PM - 17 Mar 12
But this China thing hits me hard. As a tech reporter, I know the Foxconn issue is huge and complex. As a journalist, ethics are critical.
5:33 PM - 17 Mar 12
The Foxconn suicides first taught me the word Foxconn. It's a big issue for me (my brother died of suicide) and I wanted more attn on it.
5:36 PM - 17 Mar 12
Then when Daisey became a leading spokesperson for Foxconn issues, I was all jumbled up. How did he get these scoops? I was jealous again.
5:37 PM - 17 Mar 12
Now all this. I don't hate Mike, I wish him well, and I just hope more truth and light and transparency somehow emerge from this mess.
5:39 PM - 17 Mar 12
Nick Kristof: Red Wine or Vinegar?
by Trent Gilliss, senior editor
Check out the friendly repartee we had with Nicholas Kristof this morning. When I first read his tweet, I'll admit my heart sank a little bit. Krista's journal reflecting on this week's show "Journalism and Compassion" begins:
"I wasn't always a fan of Nicholas Kristof's columns in The New York Times. I'd found them at times simplistic — seeming to reduce the dramas of entire nations to individual stories of despair and/or hope. But I've discovered that there is an art and science to this approach. It was fascinating — and quite inspiring — to sit down and get inside his head on all of this."
Sure, we're journalists, but we always want to extend hospitality to guests of On Being. So, I reached out to him in the only way I knew how, with a bit of good humor. And, of course, the hardened journalist took this all in good stride, even acknowledging the bittersweet edge of his reporting.
But do listen to Krista Tippett's interview with him about his journalism as a form of "humanitarian art." It'll give you lots to think about whether you're a reader or a journalist.
Judy Atkinson: A Twitterscript
by Anne Breckbill, associate web developer
On August 10, 2010, Krista Tippett interviewed Australian Judy Atkinson, an expert in violence, trauma/healing, and aboriginal people. The following is the complete Twitterscript from that interview.
- Krista is starting to interview Australian Judy Atkinson, an expert in violence, trauma and healing, and aboriginals.
- Judy Atkinson talks about her history-the story of the Hornet Bank massacre, one of many in Australia during colonization http://is.gd/ecaKr
- "A symptom of trauma is to act out — what's gotten into the deepest part of the soul has to come out again." — Judy Atkinson
- "The middle of the cyclone feels safe, but it's still moving. You have to decide to move through it to come out the other side."
- "Cultural art/dance is about taking the pain of human existence and recycling it so when we emerge we become strong…" — Judy Atkinson
- "As I think and talk to you I'm creating a future. If I talk to you with anger, distress…then I take that into my future." — Judy Atkinson
- Judy Atkinson speaks of discovering Dadirri - Aboriginal deep listening, awareness, and contemplation. http://is.gd/eccs8
- "We have to be able to put our hands out to each other, sit with each other, and not push away the stories that need to be told." — Judy Atkinson
- "Respond when a person asks for help because that's the best time you can help a person or community." — Judy Atkinson on helping others
- "The more we listen to each other with real intent, the more we understand the richness in our souls that we can share with others." — Judy Atkinson
- "It's from the depths of our pain that we grow — it's not when everything's fine and hunky-dory." — Judy Atkinson on sitting with pain
- "As we make sense of our [pain] stories, the stories change and we transcend them." — Judy Atkinson
Show, Don't Tell: On Our Recent Twitter Spike
by Trent Gilliss, senior editor
This weekend's show provides a good lesson in the power (and simplicity) of demonstrating first and promoting later. As the graph above indicates, the delta of Twitter folks who started following @Beingtweets after we released "Investigating Healthy Minds with Richard Davidson" on June 23rd was significantly steeper than in previous weeks.
Part of the reason? We were live-tweeting Krista's interview with Davidson (via ISDN) when we forwarded a question from Twitter to our host during the interview:
"I have a question from behind the glass. My producers were tweeting this behind the glass and someone asked on Twitter what the consequences of this practice can be for multitasking, this kind of way we live now."
We make a painstaking effort each week in our radio/podcast script to share what we're doing online, telling people where we exist outside of our website. We can message with fervor — and this is necessary, to a degree — but the greatest impact is when we demonstrate how we naturally integrate social media with our interviews and production.
When we show, telling isn't necessary. Doing this is, in my opinion, the smartest, most genuine and considerate way of growing audience on our social media platforms, and therefore doesn't come off as fabricated or artificial. What do you think? We're always looking for advice.

Interview with Terry Tempest Williams: A Twitterscript
by Susan Leem, associate producer
This past Monday on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Krista interviewed Terry Tempest Williams for an upcoming show slotted for release on February 3rd. An author and environmentalist, Tempest Williams' writing and storytelling is imbued with her experience growing up in the American West.
As a wilderness activist who grew up in Utah and teaches at the University of Utah, she bridges the worlds of the oil industry she questions and the members of her family who have made oil their livelihood. We are especially interested in how Tempest Williams navigates these two realms with civil language and an effort to stay at the dinner table, as she puts it.
We live-tweeted highlights of this 90-minute conversation, which we're aggregating and reposting for those of us who weren't able to follow along. Krista's comments follow "KT" and Terry's follow "TTW, TTWilliams, and @ttwillet." Follow us next time at @BeingTweets.

- TTW: the word I play over & over is vitriol. What is it really? It is produced by sulphur dioxide, used to refine petroleum. #civility Monday, January 17, 2011 11:14:07 AM
- TTW: I taught writing in Wyoming. Students wanted to create public readings about oil & gas, a big part of the economy. #civility Monday, January 17, 2011 11:18:24 AM

- KT: Your book Finding Beauty In a Broken World : a mosaic is a conversation about what is broken. #civility Monday, January 17, 2011 11:53:08 AM
- KT: Maybe in wake of Arizona, mosaic is a good metaphor for what we can be. #civility Monday, January 17, 2011 11:54:04 AM
- @ttwillet : A mosaic is a collaborative process. Collaboration creates community. In community anything is possible. #civility Monday, January 17, 2011 11:55:22 AM
- Beauty is not optional. It is a strategy for survival. - @ttwillet #civility Monday, January 17, 2011 11:57:07 AM
- KT : In American life where are you looking for beauty? #civility Monday, January 17, 2011 11:58:45 AM
- @ttwillet : It begins and ends in the land. The sky as I drove to the studio. After looking at the Gulf oil spill, we saw dolphins mating. Monday, January 17, 2011 12:00:55 PM

- @ttwillet: What do we do? How can I be a better neighbor? The oil that I saw for miles is me, my family's livelihood. #civility Monday, January 17, 2011 12:13:25 PM
- I want to be present. And useful. -@twillet #civility Monday, January 17, 2011 12:14:42 PM
- I worry that we are losing literacy. Who knows the green winged Teal? So how will we know our losses? -@ttwillet #civility Monday, January 17, 2011 12:19:09 PM
- Empathy is rooted in action. When someone dies my father goes to that house the next day. He doesn't call. #civility Monday, January 17, 2011 12:20:30 PM
- @ttwillet : We need just enough light to shine on the next step, to show the way. #civility Monday, January 17, 2011 12:22:06 PM
- My mother left me her journals when she died. -@ttwillet All of the journals were empty. What is 'voice?' #civility Monday, January 17, 2011 12:23:48 PM
- That concludes our live-tweet. @ttwillet tells Krista to take care, she recognizes there is a cost to Krista's listening. #civility Monday, January 17, 2011 12:26:16 PM
This post has been revised to reflect the following correction on January 28, 2011: An earlier version of this article misstated that Terry Tempest Williams currently teaches at the University of Wyoming. It is the University of Utah.

AZ Alkmaar have enjoyed plenty of success recruiting players from Sweden and Elm is the latest to have thrived at the Dutch club since he was signed from Kalmar FF in the summer of 2009.
He certainly did his apprenticeship in Sweden's junior national teams, notching up a host of appearances for their under-17, under-19 and under-21 sides before earning his crack at the senior side alongside so many established star name against Austria in February of last year.
From that point on, he began to establish himself as a useful weapon for Sweden coach Erik Hamren and by the end of the Euro 2012 qualifiers, Elm was starting games and staking a claim to play in his first major tournament this summer. "To work with guys like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Kim Kallstrom and Anders Svensson is still a dream to me, but I feel ready to be in the same team with them," he says.

The state of MIDI support on Android
The current state of Midi support on Android is depressing. They ripped out javax.sound.midi, so all libraries that depend on this are not working. (Things like JFugue for example).
Fortunately the MediaPlayer does support the playback of midi files. So if you want to have dynamic audio, you need to create your own midi file writing library, or find an existing one. Midi is quite an old beast, so it takes some effort to learn this. Fortunately there are lot of examples and info for the MIDI file format.
Android seems to use Sonivox for MIDI handling in the MediaPlayer. From what I understand it's a embedded synthesizer that is integrated in Android. One of the things it support is the Jet file format. It's some kind of wrapper around midi that you can use to "dynamically" playback music. It's however totally depended on manually generated midi input that you need to edit on your PC to turn into the Jet format. So no pushing midi events to a stream or something like that. The only thing you can do is repeat sections and turn tracks on and off. Bummer.
So, currently on Android there is no way to dynamically generate realtime MIDI. We can't simple send midi-commands to a synthesizer that then realtime plays it back.
However…. According to the Sonivox EAS (Embedded Audio Synthesis) API Reference (found in the git tree of android), Sonivox does support Midi Streaming! That means that the low-level software stack of android does have the support for it. But it's not exposed to us poor developers. I also don't know if it's possible to use the NDK to just use these C(++) API's. I don't have the C knowledge for that, and the NDK docs don't mention them as supported/stable.
So, there may be a change that you can indeed use the C API's, but that means you need to learn C/C++. Could be usefull, but well, why can't we get it in Java in the SDK?
To resolve this I have opened a feature request on the google issue tracker to request for exposing these API's in Java. If you are in any way interested in this feature, please leave a comment, star it, rate it, whatever it takes to let Google know that we need better MIDI support!
Now back to hacking.
Personally I solved the dynamic midi generation issue as follows: programmatically generate a midi file, write it to the device storage, initiate a mediaplayer with the file and let it play. This is fast enough if you just need to play a dynamic midi sound. I doubt it's useful for creating user controlled midi stuff like sequencers, but for other cases it's great.
byron permalink
Yes, I have faced the same issue. I want to create an app involving midi control. In the previous version of Android SDK, it can have J2ME standard midi interface. So we can send the midi messages to Android's embedded synthesizer at anytime. But the recent releases of SDK have removed this interface. Instead, they create the Jetplayer APIs to java programmer. Jetplayer is not really suitable to be used to build the musical game. Now I will try to build on NDK layer.
Paul permalink
Would you be willing to share the code you created for dynamically creating the midi file?
Vasos Panagiotopoulos permalink
I tried running my midi files on Android's sound player and it thinks they are karaoke and fails. I am trying to find a midi player that is downloadable as an apk file off the web because I don't have the ability to log in my android tablet just yet.
All the android apps look and sound great but are just toys. all apps lack midi clock – to be useful to a musician in a live situation, you must be able to share master midi clock! pleaseeee sort it
This page still turns up high on google, when looking for android and midi. So I thought this might be useful: http://midisheetmusic.sourceforge.net/download.html
It's an open source implementation of a midi player, with visualisation by keyboard and sheet music. The code for android is free for download.
tsukihuu permalink
this page can not open in my conputer. can you send me a copy of the code?

Memorial Service Held for 'Father of Yeast Genetics'
A memorial gathering in honor of Fred Sherman was held Dec. 6 at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. Fred Sherman, a major figure in molecular biology, died after a long illness on Sept. 16, 2013. The event was attended by friends, co-workers, former students, former post-docs, and other admirers from around the U.S. After introductory remarks by Dr. Bradford Berk, Chief Executive Officer of the University of Rochester Medical Center, an overview of Fred's scientific contributions and personal reminiscences of Fred were presented by Dr. Gerald Fink, Margaret and Herman Sokol Professor of Biology at MIT, who co-taught a course in yeast genetics at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory with Fred for 17 years. This course is credited with introducing many eminent molecular biologists to the field of yeast genetics. Additional reminiscences were provided by Mark Dumont, Michael Hampsey, James Hicks, Letian Kuai, Susan Liebman, David Pearce, Eric Phizicky, Rolf Sternglanz, and Kenneth Zaret. Elena Rustchenko-Bulgac provided closing remarks.
A video recording of the complete service is available here. Also, please see the links to the printed program from the memorial (including excerpts of some comments about Fred from people who could not attend the service, and a song about Fred written by Tom Fox and the late Ira Herskowitz) and obituaries of Fred that have recently appeared in the journals Science and Genetics.

On January 16, the Women's Council, an affiliate of the Rochester Business Alliance, will honor thirteen women chosen as this year's finalists for the Athena Award, based on their significant professional achievements, their community service endeavors, and their leadership in the advancement of other professional women. Among them is Dr. Lynne Maquat, Ph.D., the J. Lowell Orbison Endowed Chair and Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics in the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. She is also founding director of the UR Center for RNA Biology, and founding chair of UR Graduate Women in Science.
In 2011, she received one of the highest honors possible for a scientist, election to the National Academy of Sciences, for her exceptional research in the field of RNA biology discovering new cellular pathways and the molecular basis of human diseases. She has been published in more than 110 peer reviewed journals, written 23 book chapters and edited 4 books on the topic. Maquat was also elected in 2006 to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Maquat has spent her career advocating for young women in the sciences. Her many mentoring awards include the 2013 University of Rochester President's Diversity Award and the 2014 William C. Rose Award from the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. She has been inspired by male professors who, unlike some, believed there is a place for women in science.

Science Magazine Celebrates Career of Fred Sherman
Fred Sherman, a brilliant geneticist who popularized the use of baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as a genetic model system of eukaryotic cells, died on 16 September at the age of 81. Budding yeast are now used at virtually all research centers worldwide, largely due to Fred's efforts and mentoring of many of the leaders in the fi eld. Indeed, Randy Schekman, who shared this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, was introduced to yeast in the Cold Spring Harbor course that Fred taught for 17 summers with his friend and colleague Gerald Fink. Many students and postdoctoral fellows who were trained in Fred's own laboratory also helped shape the fi eld of yeast genetics. Fred taught by example how to think about science, how to do it, and how to enjoy it. He lived life fully, with joy, humor, and dance (ballet), and without ever really separating life from science.
For more on the life and accoplishments of Dr. Sherman, please read Science Magazine's retrospective.

We love the versatility of this recipe!! Cheesey and good.. And remember change the cheese change the taste, we have made it with provolone, cheddar, mozza, parmessan.. And it still tastes good.
Really rather bland and mooshey. Wouldn't make again.

This is a fine recipe that delivers as advertised. You could add a little black pepper or Cajun seasoning to spice it up a bit.
What a great casserole!! I was nervous about it being a microwave dish - I'm so used to cooking casseroles in the stove oven. But it turned out great! I couldn't find Gouda cheese so I bought a 7 oz. package of Feta cheese and a package of shredded Mozzarella cheese. I used the Feta cheese for the first step of paragraph 3. Then I used 1 cup of the shredded Mozzarella for the final step. Very good! Also, one suggestion: I stirred the pasta/zucchini combination several times in the colander so as to not let the pasta get rubbery. Thanks for a keeper!!
This is sooooo easy. It took me less than the 50 minutes to complete. It turns out creamy and cheesy and a great change in the way you use your zucchini. I used my stove top for everything except cooking the zucchini. I would make this again. Thanks.
Excellent recipe! I used half the butter to reduce the fat and it still turned out rich and creamy. I also replaced the milk with almond milk which added some nice flavor and traded the Gouda for shredded Italian cheeses! Love how quick and easy this recipe is!
I made exactly as instructed and thought it was pretty good. Next time I will add some red bell pepper for more color and crunch. My vegetarian guest put hot sauce on his and really liked it.
Super easy and super tasty! Will use this as a base recipe and just modify according to what I have on hand. This one's a keeper!

A group of workers from second shift at Bus Industries volunteered to help get a school in Rome ready to be used as a new PreK program and the new district offices. They spent Saturday May 2nd doing landscaping and painting trim. They brought down one of the buses they work on. One of the volunteer's daughters came to see her daddy...and got to go on the bus... this is her sitting in the driver's seat thoroughly enjoying the horn once she found out how loud it was.... some of the volunteers heard the horn start beeping continually and automatically thought it was her daddy so they were not surprised to find out it was actually his daughter...
