Technical problems have led Princeton University to ban some iPad tablets from its network.

 Christian Science Monitor

By Chris Gaylord / April 20, 2010

Technical problems have led Princeton University to ban some iPad tablets from its network.

If you're keeping score, here's the current tally: Israel has banned the iPad. Norway's prime minister thinks it's "excellent." Reviewers gushed about the new device. And now we hear that the IT team at Princeton University is shaking its fists at Apple's tablet computer.

Why? The iPad has been messing up its network.

When an iPad wants to connect to Princeton's Wi-Fi network, the device asks for permission from the university's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) system. The school's Wi-Fi basically replies with, "Of course you can use our network. Here's your temporary IP address, which you'll need to get around the Internet. You're free to use this IP address for the next few hours. But, Mr. iPad, please let us know if you'd like to keep it for longer. If you don't renew it, we'll give the IP address to another computer so that they can use our Wi-Fi."

It's common for these temporary IP addresses to change hands every six hours. But some iPads seem to keep using their assigned numbers without renewing them.

"The iPad owner is often unaware of any problem," writes Princeton's computer staff. "Nevertheless, it is an issue because it can interfere with service to other devices. Once the iPad has allowed its DHCP lease to expire, the DHCP server may lease the same IP address to another client."

When these overlaps occurs, they can confuse the Wi-Fi system, the iPad, and the next computer that checks out the IP address. Princeton says about half of the iPads using Princeton's network have malfunctioned in this way.

"When an individual iPad malfunctioned, we would contact the owner to advise him or her of the problem," the university says. "When the same iPad malfunctioned a second time, we would block that device from using our network, and contact the owner again."

While Princeton banished certain iPads from its network, it has not banned the device, as Israel has. In fact, the school has since figured out a workaround and has been communicating with Apple to solve the problem permanently.

This sounds like a classic case of first-generation woes. Apple – and every other computer company for that matter – always needs to iron out the wrinkles that come with new devices and services. Perhaps its a good time to remind readers of the Monitor's appeal for patience in an era of "buy, buy, buy!"

The Glycemic Index food list has a massive database of food with rankings according to the levels of Glycemic Index. The glycemic index ranks carbohydrates according to their effect on our blood glucose levels. Choosing low GI carbs – the ones that produce only small fluctuations in our blood glucose and insulin levels – is the secret to long-term health reducing your risk of heart disease and diabetes and is the key to sustainable weight loss.

Eating a lot of high GI foods can be detrimental to your health because it pushes your body to extremes. This is especially true if you are overweight and sedentary. Switching to eating mainly low GI carbs that slowly trickle glucose into your blood stream keeps your energy levels balanced and means you will feel fuller for longer between meals.

What are the Benefits of the Glycemic Index?

* Low GI diets help people lose and manage weight
* Low GI diets increase the body’s sensitivity to insulin
* Low GI carbs improve diabetes management
* Low GI carbs reduce the risk of heart disease
* Low GI carbs improve blood cholesterol levels
* Low GI carbs can help you manage the symptoms of PCOS
* Low GI carbs reduce hunger and keep you fuller for longer
* Low GI carbs prolong physical endurance
* High GI carbs help re-fuel carbohydrate stores after exercise

Use the free GI database to find the GI value of your favorite carbohydrate foods that have been tested over the past 25 years from all around the world.

Tax Extensions - Can't Get it Done? File for an Extension

As read in the Huffington Post


April 15 is coming up quickly, and if you haven't filed your 2010 tax returns yet, you may want to fill out a Tax Extension Form.

A Tax Extension Form allows taxpayers extra time to fill out their 2010 returns, six more months to be exact. However, the IRS notes that it is "not an extension of time to pay" and any balance due must be paid when you file your extension.

You can find the 2010 Tax Extension Form at the IRS Web site here.

The IRS specifically recommends a service called FreeFile to fill out your extension form.

The official Tax Extension Form is known as IRS Form 4868. You must file such an extension form for both federal and state taxes.

Still have questions? Sandra Block of USA Today offers a series of tips for last-minute tax filers, including the fact you can work out a payment compromise with the IRS in some extreme cases.

Depression Treatment: Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

Depression Treatment: Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy As Effective As Anti-Depressant Medication, Study Suggests

ScienceDaily (Dec. 2, 2008) — Research shows for the first time that a group-based psychological treatment, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), could be a viable alternative to prescription drugs for people suffering from long-term depression.

In a study, published December 1, 2008 in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, MBCT proved as effective as maintenance anti-depressants in preventing a relapse and more effective in enhancing peoples' quality of life. The study also showed MBCT to be as cost-effective as prescription drugs in helping people with a history of depression stay well in the longer-term.

The randomised control trial involved 123 people from urban and rural locations who had suffered repeat depressions and were referred to the trial by their GPs. The participants were split randomly into two groups. Half continued their on-going anti-depressant drug treatment and the rest participated in an MBCT course and were given the option of coming off anti-depressants.

Over the 15 months after the trial, 47% of the group following the MBCT course experienced a relapse compared with 60% of those continuing their normal treatment, including anti-depressant drugs. In addition, the group on the MBCT programme reported a higher quality of life, in terms of their overall enjoyment of daily living and physical well-being.

The study was led by Professor Willem Kuyken at the Mood Disorders Centre, University of Exeter, in collaboration with colleagues at the Centre for Economics of Mental Health (CEMH) at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London, Peninsula Medical School, Devon Primary Care Trust and the Medical Research Council Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit.

Members of the study team from the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London also compared the cost of providing MBCT programmes with the cost of maintenance anti-depressant treatment. The findings suggest that MBCT provides a cost-effective alternative to anti-depressant drugs. Unlike most other psychological therapies, MBCT can be taught in groups by a single therapist, and patients then continue to practice the skills they have learned at home by themselves. Therefore, MBCT is less costly than individual treatments and is not dependent on having the large number of trained therapists needed for one-to-one psychological treatments so could help the National Health Service shorten its waiting lists for psychological therapies.

Hot News Aspartame Renamed "Natural Sweetener"

Aspartame has been renamed and is now being marketed as a natural sweetener

Aspartame has been renamed and is now being marketed as a natural sweetener

(NaturalNews) In response to growing awareness about the dangers of artificial sweeteners, what does the manufacturer of one of the world's most notable artificial sweeteners do? Why, rename it and begin marketing it as natural, of course. This is precisely the strategy of Ajinomoto, maker of aspartame, which hopes to pull the wool over the eyes of the public with its rebranded version of aspartame, called "AminoSweet".

Over 25 years ago, aspartame was first introduced into the European food supply. Today, it is an everyday component of most diet beverages, sugar-free desserts, and chewing gums in countries worldwide. But the tides have been turning as the general public is waking up to the truth about artificial sweeteners like aspartame and the harm they cause to health. The latest aspartame marketing scheme is a desperate effort to indoctrinate the public into accepting the chemical sweetener as natural and safe, despite evidence to the contrary.

Aspartame was an accidental discovery by James Schlatter, a chemist who had been trying to produce an anti-ulcer pharmaceutical drug for G.D. Searle & Company back in 1965. Upon mixing aspartic acid and phenylalanine, two naturally-occurring amino acids, he discovered that the new compound had a sweet taste. The company merely changed its FDA approval application from drug to food additive and, voila, aspartame was born.

G.D. Searle & Company first patented aspartame in 1970. An internal memo released in the same year urged company executives to work on getting the FDA into the "habit of saying yes" and of encouraging a "subconscious spirit of participation" in getting the chemical approved.

G.D. Searle & Company submitted its first petition to the FDA in 1973 and fought for years to gain FDA approval, submitting its own safety studies that many believed were inadequate and deceptive. Despite numerous objections, including one from its own scientists, the company was able to convince the FDA to approve aspartame for commercial use in a few products in 1974, igniting a blaze of controversy.

In 1976, then FDA Commissioner Alexander Schmidt wrote a letter to Sen. Ted Kennedy expressing concern over the "questionable integrity of the basic safety data submitted for aspartame safety". FDA Chief Counsel Richard Merrill believed that a grand jury should investigate G.D. Searle & Company for lying about the safety of aspartame in its reports and for concealing evidence proving the chemical is unsafe for consumption.

Despite the myriad of evidence gained over the years showing that aspartame is a dangerous toxin, it has remained on the global market with the exception of a few countries that have banned it. In fact, it continued to gain approval for use in new types of food despite evidence showing that it causes neurological brain damage, cancerous tumors, and endocrine disruption, among other things.

The details of aspartame's history are lengthy, but the point remains that the carcinogen was illegitimately approved as a food additive through heavy-handed prodding by a powerful corporation with its own interests in mind. Practically all drugs and food additives are approved by the FDA not because science shows they are safe but because companies essentially lobby the FDA with monetary payoffs and complete the agency's multi-million dollar approval process.

Changing aspartame's name to something that is "appealing and memorable", in Ajinomoto's own words, may hoodwink some but hopefully most will reject this clever marketing tactic as nothing more than a desperate attempt to preserve the company's multi-billion dollar cash cow. Do not be deceived.
