Description This is a division of application Ser. No. 09/169,590, filed Oct. 9, 1998, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,178,130. This application claims priority to the provisional patent application entitled �Multi-Device Refresh Application�, Ser. No. 60/061,665, filed Oct. 10, 1997. 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates generally to memory systems. More particularly, this invention relates to an improved technique for performing a refresh operation in a memory system. 2. Description of the Related Art Dynamic RAM (DRAM) devices require periodic refresh operations to retain data in their storage cells. A refresh operation consists of a row sense operation and a row precharge operation. Each memory cell needs to be refreshed within a given time interval known as Tref, the refresh period. A typical Tref value is 64 ms. As the number of banks in memory devices increases and as the number of devices in memory systems increases, the issue rate of refresh commands sent from a memory controller also increases. This increased traffic due to refresh operations can introduce an overhead that unacceptably impacts performance, as measured by effective data bandwidth and memory access latency. For a given memory system, the number of refresh operations that need to be performed within Tref equals where N=maximum number of devices in the system, Bi=the number of banks in device i, and Ri=the number of rows per bank in device i. A design goal is to maintain a constant frequency of refresh commands over many DRAM generations so that channel overhead does not grow and complexity in the controller is minimized. One general approach to reduce controller refresh overhead is to perform refresh operations in multiple devices using a single issued command. The simplest way to do this is with a broadcast refresh command, which triggers refresh operations in all devices in the system. With a single refresh command, more than one device can be either simultaneously or sequentially refreshed. From a performance standpoint, it is more desirable to refresh banks in each device simultaneously, so that the time that bank resources are tied up is minimized. Simultaneous multi-device refresh, however, has its challenges. One challenge is the problem of current spikes. Each refresh operation for each device requires a certain amount of supply current over time. FIG. 1 shows a typically current profile over time for a row sense operation. Note that very near time 0, there is an initial spike of current. This spike is large because the row sensing circuits have been designed to access cell data as quickly as possible in order to minimize the latency to the first allowable page access to bits stored in the sense amps. This spike, characterized by rate of change in current, dI/dt, can cause noise problems in a DRAM, since current spikes can reduce the internal supply voltage. In addition, the current spike can cause failure in circuits on the same die or on other devices that share the same supply voltage. It is common for memory devices in a memory system to share the same supply voltage. FIG. 2 illustrates a set of memory devices 20A-20N that share a common supply voltage Vdd. Without a sufficient bypass capacitor network 22 in the system, current spikes from each device can cause the supply voltage to vary, and with a shared supply, current spike noise can couple between memory devices. With multiple devices simultaneously doing refresh operations, the current spike effect can be additive, thus causing greater probability of circuit failure. The more devices performing the operation simultaneously, the bigger the potential problem. The amount of noise that can be tolerated varies depending on the bypass network and circuit designs. In view of the foregoing, it would be highly desirable to provide a mechanism for reducing current spikes and related problems associated with memory refresh operations. A memory system includes a set of memory devices. An interconnect structure links the set of memory devices to one another. A memory controller is connected to the interconnect structure. The memory controller is configured to apply a control signal to the interconnect structure such that a specified subset of the set of memory devices performs a refresh operation. The selective refresh operation may be implemented with a device mask, which includes a single bit for each device in the system to specify whether each device performs the operation. This embodiment requires N bits to control N devices in the system and allows any arbitrary pattern of device operation. A second implementation utilizes a partial decode technique, which selects a subgroup of devices using X bits, where X<Y, Y=log2 N, and N=(max. # of devices in the system). Combinations of these two implementations are also possible. The selective refresh operation of the invention helps reduce supply noise problems otherwise induced when many devices perform operations simultaneously. For a better understanding of the invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 illustrates a current spike associated with prior art refresh operations. FIG. 2 illustrates a set of memory devices sharing a common supply voltage in accordance with the prior art. FIG. 3 illustrates the selective refresh technique utilized in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 4 illustrates a device mask decoder circuit that may be utilized in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 5 illustrates encoded device selection in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 6 illustrates a hybrid device selection technique in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. Like reference numerals refer to corresponding parts throughout the drawings. The present invention provides selection mechanisms to help minimize the problem of simultaneous switching noise between memory devices. Specifically, this invention provides different ways to use �narrowcast� refresh commands. Unlike broadcast refresh commands which trigger refreshes in all devices in the system, narrowcast commands specify a subset of devices in the system that can perform a given operation. The basic idea is that narrowcast commands can be used to control the number of devices performing the refresh operation to minimize switching noise. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a set of N mask bits is sent with the refresh commands. This device mask selects which of the N devices on the channel performs the operation. Since there is a bit in the mask for each device in the system, any arbitrary pattern of device operation can be fully specified using any arbitrary mask pattern. FIG. 3 illustrates a memory controller 30, a set of memory devices 32A-32N, and an interconnect structure 34 linking the memory devices 32 and the memory controller 30.The interconnect structure 34 includes individual signal lines 36, including, for example, control and data lines. The interconnect 34 is attached to individual nodes or pins 38 of each memory device 32. The nodes 38 may include a dedicated node to receive a mask signal and a multiplexed node to receive a mask signal. FIG. 3 also illustrates a first supply voltage VI attached to a first subset of memory devices 32A and 32B, and a second supply voltage V2 attached to a first subset of memory devices 32A and 32B, and a second supply voltage V2 attached to a second subset of memory devices 32C-32N. The figure shows N devices, each with multiple banks. The interconnect 34 connects the memory devices and the controller and includes the data and control wires over which the refresh command and device mask bits are sent. This figure illustrates the example of a refresh command being issued to bank 1 of all devices. The Nbit device mask, shown in the figure, specifies which devices the refresh command is directed towards. So, for instance, M[1] has the value �1�, so the refresh command is disabled for device #1. M[2] has the value �0�, so the refresh command is enabled for device #2. The striped banks in the figure represent those banks in which refresh occurs as the device mask specifies. During initialization, each device on the channel gets assigned a device ID. As shown in FIG. 4, a decoder block 40 uses the device ID to decode the bits in the device mask to which it is assigned. The decoded value is compared with a device mask value at a comparator 42. When the values match, there is a device hit. The use of the device mask is particularly useful if there are banks with ongoing row operations, which tie up bank resources and prevent refresh operations from occurring. If a broadcast refresh to the same bank in all devices is used, the controller would have to wait until those bank resources are freed up before issuing the refresh operation, thus introducing additional delay and pipeline bubbles. With an N-way mask, the controller can specify refresh operations in devices without bank resource conflicts. This will allow refresh operations to be interleaved efficiently with regular memory operations, thus minimizing refresh overhead. When enabling operations in multiple devices simultaneously using the device mask, it may also be desirable to spread out the mask pattern in such a way that the physical distance between the enabled devices is maximized. This is particularly useful in large systems, where physical distance between devices are large enough so that control signals may have significant propagation time down the wires. Such propagation time can actually help stagger the current spikes and help reduce the additive noise effect. There are different ways to transmit the device mask bits to the devices over the interconnect, depending on the interconnect structure and device protocol. One simple way is to allocate N additional wires to carry the N-bit device mask in parallel. This approach is low latency, but has higher cost due to the large number of additional wires in the interconnect. For packet-based protocols, where all control bits are sent over a bus of fixed width, the device mask can be sent over the interconnect in a packet format. It is also possible for systems with multiple voltage supplies and grounds to use a separate device mask for each supply/ground pair. Alternately, the mask signal can be used to select a minimum number of devices in each voltage supply/ground grouping. Another way to perform narrowcast refresh is the binary encoded approach, which selects a subgroup of devices using X bits, where X≦Y, Y=ceiling(log2 N), and N=(max. #of devices in the system). An X-bit encoded word selects a group of M devices, where M=N/2x. Compared with the device mask, the encoded approach requires less control bandwidth at the cost of less flexibility in selectivity. FIG. 5 illustrates this encoding approach in an example with a system of eight devices (N=8, Y=3). Each box represents a given bank in each device in the system, and the striped boxes are those selected by the code word, C. Using a 1-bit code word (X=1), the code word C=0 selects all even numbered devices, and C=1 selects all odd numbered devices. Using a 2-bit code word (X=2), a quarter of the devices are selected, and note that only four possible selection patterns are possible. Finally, the 3-bit code word (X=3) illustrates the end case, in which X=Y and the code word has enough bits to fully encode the devices in the system. Combinations of device mask and binary-encoded selection are also possible. By combining both approaches, the overall number of control bits used to perform the selection can be reduced from the fully specified N-bit device mask. FIG. 6 shows a mask with less than N bits and specifies device selection among a subset of devices. A separate code word, C, selects which subset of devices to which the mask is applied. In the example in the figure, there are eight devices in the system (N=8), and like FIG. 5, each box represents a given bank in each device. The boxes with the thick border represent those devices selected with the encoded code word, C, and the striped boxes are those selected by the device mask, M. Both the code word and mask are sent over the interconnect in conjunction with a refresh command. All the masking techniques of the invention also apply to the masking of banks within a memory device. The same noise spike problems can also occur with simultaneous bank operations, and a person skilled in the art would be able to apply these masking techniques to the control of multi-bank operations within a device. The foregoing description, for purposes of explanation, used specific nomenclature to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the specific details are not required in order to practice the invention. In other instances, well known circuits and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid unnecessary distraction from the underlying invention.

As Campaign Spending Soars, Clinton Loans Campaign $5 Million
As the race for the White House intensifies, Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are scrambling to raise more money in what is already projected to be the most expensive election ever. On Wednesday, Clinton revealed she personally loaned her campaign $5 million last month. According to Time magazine, the campaign's shortage of cash has forced some staff members of the Clinton campaign to forgo pay this month, including campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle. In 2007, both Clinton and Obama raised over $100 million, but Obama out-fundraised Clinton in January, when he pulled in over $32 million to her $14 million. The Obama campaign has claimed it has raised another $6.6 million dollars in online donations since Super Tuesday. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the Democratic and Republican candidates have already spent nearly $500 million, more then every election in U.S. history except 2004.
Both Clinton & Obama Claim to Win Super Tuesday
On Tuesday, both Senators Clinton and Obama attempted to claim to be the winner of Super Tuesday.
Sen. Barack Obama: "Two weeks ago, we were trailing Senator Hillary Clinton in some national polls by as much as twenty points. Last night, we won more delegates, and we won more states in every region of this country. We won big states and small states. We won red states, and we won blue states, and we won swing states. So I believe that we had an extraordinary night. It was a big victory for our campaign."
The Obama campaign says the Illinois senator will wind up with slightly more delegates from Super Tuesday, but the Clinton camp has rejected that claim.
Sen. Hillary Clinton: "We had a great night last night with victories across the country and ending up once again with a total of more votes and more delegates and lots of energy from voters who decided that they really needed a president on day one to be able to manage the economy and provide the leadership that is going to be required to deal with the problems facing our country."
According to CNN, Clinton had a slight edge over Obama in the popular vote on Super Tuesday. Of the 14.6 million Democratic voters who voted on Tuesday, 50.2 percent backed Clinton, 49.8 percent backed Obama.
McCain Vows to Unite Republican Party
In the Republican race, Senator John McCain is expected to reach out to the party's conservative base today, when he addresses CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Committee. On Wednesday, McCain vowed to unite the Republican Party.
John McCain: "So we'll be hitting the campaign trail tomorrow morning, flying back this afternoon, and hopefully we can wrap this thing up, unite the party and be ready to take on the Democratic nominee in November."
Los Angeles County to Review Super Tuesday Ballots
In California, the acting Los Angeles County Registrar has announced his office will examine more than 94,000 ballots cast on Tuesday following an uproar from voters who fear their votes will not count. In California, independent voters are allowed to take part in the Democratic or the American Independent Party primaries. In Los Angeles County, these nonpartisan voters are given a special ballot where they must pick a candidate and mark an additional bubble denoting which party primary they were voting in. If the second bubble is not marked, officials say the vote does not count. It is unclear how many votes for presidential candidates may have gone uncounted.
Senate Republicans Block Adding to Economic Stimulus Plan
In news from Capitol Hill, Senate Republicans have blocked a bid by Democrats to add $44 billion to the $161 billion economic stimulus plan. Senate Democrats attempted to add the additional money to help the elderly, disabled veterans, the unemployed and businesses, but supporters of the bill fell a single vote short of the sixty needed to move the measure forward.
Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama voted to expand the economic stimulus plan. John McCain missed the vote even though he was in Washington at the time.
Bush Administration Urges Judge to Toss Torture Flight Suit
Attorneys for the Bush administration urged a federal judge earlier this week to dismiss a lawsuit accusing a subsidiary of Boeing of helping the CIA secretly transport prisoners to overseas torture chambers. The Bush administration claims the lawsuit against Jeppesen International Trip Planning risks exposing state secrets. The lawsuit accused Jeppesen of arranging at least seventy flights since 2001 as part of the CIA's extraordinary rendition program.
UN's Top Torture Investigation Criticizes US for Waterboarding
Meanwhile, the United Nations's top torture investigator has criticized the Bush administration for defending the use of waterboarding. Manfred Nowak, the UN's special rapporteur on torture, said, "This is absolutely unacceptable under international human rights law." Nowak's comment came one day after CIA Director Michael Hayden acknowledged that three detainees were waterboarded in 2002 and 2003. On Wednesday, White House spokesperson Tony Fratto said that CIA interrogators could use waterboarding again with the President's approval. Attorney General Michael Mukasey is expected to be questioned about waterboarding today, when he appears before the House Judiciary Committee.
Mukasey to be Questioned over How Ashcroft Received Gov't Contract
Lawmakers are also planning to question Mukasey about how former Attorney General John Ashcroft received a government contract worth as much as $52 million to monitor out-of-court settlements between prosecutors and corporations. New Jersey's top federal prosecutor Christopher Christie awarded the contract to Ashcroft.
Mukasey Urges Congress to Block Early Release for Crack Offenders
Meanwhile, Attorney General Mukasey is urging Congress to block a plan to give thousands of federal prisoners jailed on crack cocaine offenses a chance to reduce their sentences.
Mukasey said, "Many of these offenders are among the most serious and violent offenders in the federal system, and their early release... would produce tragic, but predictable results." Last year the US Sentencing Commission voted to reduce the sentences in an attempt to offset the disparity in sentences involving crack cocaine and powder cocaine. Under current law, possession of five grams of crack cocaine triggers the same mandatory minimum sentence as possession of 500 grams of powder cocaine.
Report: US Operating Secret Prison at Guantanamo
The Associated Press has revealed new details about how the US military is running a secret prison at Guantanamo known as Camp 7. For the first time, the top commander of detention operations at Guantanamo — Rear Adm. Mark Buzby — has confirmed the existence of the mysterious prison. The military is reportedly holding fifteen so-called high-value detainees at Camp 7. But the military has refused to disclose where Camp 7 is located within the grounds of Guantanamo.
Turkey Bombs 77 Targets in Raid on Northern Iraq
Turkey is continuing to carry out bombing raids in Kurdish areas of northern Iraq. On Monday, Turkish F-16 fighter planes reportedly bombed seventy-seven targets during a twelve-hour bombing raid. Iraqi villagers were reportedly unable to flee the bombing, because heavy snow had closed many roads. Meanwhile, hundreds of Kurdish residents of Turkey gathered on the Iraq border Tuesday to protest the air strikes. The activists from the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party called for a peaceful solution to the conflict between the Turkish state and Kurdish rebels who seek autonomy.
Israeli Forces Kill Six Palestinians in Gaza
In Gaza, six Palestinians, including a teacher, were killed today after Israeli tanks and aircraft opened fire in another cross-border raid. The teacher died when an Israeli surface-to-surface missile struck an agricultural school in the northern town of Beit Hanoun. On Wednesday two Israeli girls were injured after being hit by a rocket fired from Gaza.
Hate Crimes Charge Filed in Megan Williams Case
In West Virginia, a forty-six-year-old woman has been indicted on hate crime charges in the case of Megan Williams. Williams is the twenty-year-old African American woman who was kidnapped and tortured last year. Prosecutors say she was held for days in a trailer, where she was sexually assaulted, stabbed and forced to eat animal feces. Six people have been arrested in the case, but Karen Burton of Chapmanville, West Virginia is the first to be charged with a hate crime.
Death Toll Reaches 55 Following Tornadoes
The death toll in the South has risen to at least fifty-five following the devastating tornadoes that hit Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky and Alabama on Tuesday.
It was the deadliest barrage of tornadoes in the country since 1985. The White House has announced President Bush will tour damaged areas on Friday.
President Bush: "This was a bad storm that affected a lot of people in a variety of states. The administration is reaching out to state officials. I just called the governors of the affected states. I wanted them to know that this government will help them. But more importantly I wanted them to be able to tell the people in their states that the American people hold them up and hold those who suffer up in prayer. Loss of life, a lot of loss of property, prayers can help, and so can the government. So today, before we begin this important ceremony, I do want the people in those states to know the American people are standing with them."
24 Students Arrested in Maryland Protesting Funding Cuts
In Maryland, two dozen high school students were arrested Wednesday on the steps of the state house while protesting cuts in school funding. The students traveled to Annapolis to call for Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley to be arrested for failing to address what they described as a historic underfunding of public schools in Maryland.
Nader Wins Green Party Primary in California
In other election news, the Green Party held several primaries on Tuesday. In California over 25,000 party members cast ballots in the largest Green Party primary. Ralph Nader won about 61 percent of the vote. Former Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney placed second with 25 percent. Nader's name was placed on the ballot even though he has not declared his candidacy. In Arkansas, where Nader was not on the ballot, McKinney received 21 percent of the vote, but 54 percent of Green Party members voted uncommitted.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, 91, Dies
And the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has died at the age of ninety-one. He became famous in the 1960s after the Beatles traveled to his ashram in India to study transcendental meditation techniques.
John Hagelin, of the Maharishi University of Management: "Maharishi was extremely special in this world. He has left a huge legacy. He's the one who brought meditation to the world. He is the one who encouraged scientific research on the effects of meditation fifty years ago, which brought meditation out of the realm of mysticism and into the light of mainstream science, mainstream society."

Even Volunteers In Philippines Need Help: 'Everybody Was Equally Hit'
Ten days after typhoon Haiyan devastated the Philippines, people there still need basic food, water and shelter. Host Arun Rath talks to David Gazashvili, the deputy emergency director for the food aid group CARE. Gazashvili is in the Philippine city of Cebu and is coordinating the group's response.

It's ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR West. I'm Arun Rath.
In the Philippines, thousands are dead and nearly two million displaced by Typhoon Haiyan. Life for the survivors living in the open is desperate, although some aid is now available.
David Gazashvili is deputy emergency director for the food aid organization CARE. We reached him by phone in the city of Cebu. He said a week after the typhoon, many roads around the major cities have been repaired, but it is still difficult to get supplies to the hardest hit parts of the country.
DAVID GAZASHVILI: The main challenge is getting the food to the island. We have also been able to get some food luckily and provided assistance to some 1,000 people affected by the typhoon. Those are people who are part of the (unintelligible). These are volunteers for the (unintelligible). They have been very much affected as well. They have been helping others, but they need help as much as everybody else.
RATH: So even the volunteers need help.
GAZASHVILI: Everybody. Everybody was equally hit here. Roads are - most of the buildings have been - have gone, and many buildings have sustained structural damages as well. So everybody, including the mayor and the government officials, everybody is equally affected.
RATH: Are there security concerns for your volunteers who are distributing food aid?
GAZASHVILI: No. There were some security concerns initially, and it's very much understandable because people have lost most of their assets and belongings, and they have families and children to feed, but they have not been significant. We see that the normalcy comes back to life. People walk around, people were - cities very busy, and we have not heard of any (unintelligible) incidents.
RATH: Clearly, the crisis will be going on for some time. How do you see the response changing over the coming days or weeks?
GAZASHVILI: Most of the relief (unintelligible) on its way and have not reached the affected population. So once the large amount of relief reaches the affected population, I think it will be much easier. The other thing is that right now, we are focusing on food supplies. But soon, we will start providing shelter support. We'll be providing tarpaulin and other shelter items as well as some additional household items that has been lost by the population.
RATH: David, thank you very much.
GAZASHVILI: Thank you very much.

text: But Scaletti is still terrified of being locked up in jail, which makes sense. A government witness who may testify against corrupt corrections officers could be in danger at the hands of those same officers. The source with knowledge of the case says Scaletti insisted on being placed in protective custody in a so-called safety cell. (According to a jail spokeswoman, safety cells are used to isolate vulnerable inmates -- police officers and informants, for example -- from the general jail population.) Corrections officials confirm that Scaletti is being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in west Miami-Dade, but would not say if he is in a safety cell.

dc.description.abstract | AIM: The aim of this research was to describe how the health professionals manage sudden/abrupt deaths in the ED and to foster change in current practice by involving the clients (dead or dying clients and their families) and the health professionals. METHOD: Action research was the approach used in this four year research project, and co-researchers (nurses) from three Level I ED's in KwaZulu-Natal were actively involved in shaping and guiding the project. The participants involved in the research were health professionals, bereaved families and mortuary staff members. FINDINGS: An intervention model, the Dealing with Sudden Death Model, was developed in order to guide the therapeutic management of sudden/abrupt deaths in ED's. Along with this was the development of the family pamphlet, the Preparation Checklist and the Incident Evaluation Checklist. Following the implementation of this model the health professionals emphasized the fact that this model provided guidance and meaning to the care rendered to the dead or dying client, the bereaved families and fellow colleagues. The Dealing with Sudden Death Model had resulted in a production of knowledge and planned changes in the management of sudden/abrupt deaths in the ED's. | en |

In 49 of 50 states, workers aren't saving enough to maintain their pre-retirement lifestyle. Can you avoid harsh cuts?
By borrowing from your 401(k) retirement plan, you are missing out on opportunities for your money to grow substantially over the long haul.
Baby boomers are not as prepared for retirement as they should be, but Gen X and millennials face the biggest future financial threats.
Don't rely on the $1 million benchmark for retirement savings. You might need more—or maybe less.
Diversifying assets by taxability is important in building a financial planning strategy to last through working years and into retirement.
Start preparing for your retirement at least six months before you tell anyone at your office you are leaving.
Tasks to complete with your employer before your last day or work.
If you're a Baby Boomer, the biggest challenge in looking for work may come with reimagining your career. You don't have to completely reinvent yourself, but you may have to adapt to a new environment.
Many over-40 workers — the Generation X and baby boomer generations — are plotting their career options as they bear down on retirement age.
Financial reform proposals for Social Security are in two major deficit reduction packages, as well as on a number of mental lists of major players.
Focusing on milestones along the way, rather than simply on the final mark, may be an easier way to wind up with the money your need.
Whether you're a baby boomer or a member of Generation Y just beginning your career, building your nest egg should get a little bit of a boost thanks to new contribution limits for 401(k)s and IRAs
For years, Americans found a lot to dislike about annuities, calling them complicated and expensive. Though some experts say not that much has changed about the insurance product, fundamental changes in the average American's financial outlook have given new life to annuities.
The decisions you make with your portfolio during the early years of retirement will set the stage for whether your savings will be sufficient to maintain a comfortable lifestyle.
Among the fires that President Obama must fight immediately in his second term, Social Security reform isn't in the mix. But if the president studies past administrations — and aims to enhance his legacy, as presidents do — Social Security may well rise to the top.
Torn between 529 college plans and 401(k) retirement accounts, parents can save for both with some creative thinking.
Americans say medical costs in retirement are their biggest financial concern, yet most have not factored this into their plans.

Effect of Oxidative Damage Due to Excessive Protein Ingestion on Pancreas Function in Mice

Abstract: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of oxidative damage due to excessive protein diet on pancreas function in mice. For this purpose, thirty male (C57BL/6J) mice were randomly divided into three groups and fed on different diets as follows: group 1 was fed on a normal diet, group 2 was fed on an excessive protein diet and group 3 was fed on an excessive protein diet supplemented with 0.06 g/kg cysteamine. Each group was fed for 2 weeks, and then pancreas samples were collected to examine oxidative and antioxidant parameters and pancreas function. The results showed that ingestion of an excessive protein diet markedly increased contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and decreased T-AOC and activities of antioxidants SOD and GSH-Px, compared with a normal diet (P < 0.05). Pancreas weight and concentration of protein, DNA and RNA were significantly higher (P < 0.05), digestive enzyme activities were significantly lower and levels of somatostatin and insulin were higher in mice fed with an excessive protein diet than those fed with a normal protein diet. In the group fed with excessive protein diet supplemented with cysteamine, oxidative stress was mitigated and pancreas function was improved. These data demonstrate that excessive protein ingestion could increase oxidative damage of free radicals on pancreas function through destroying the balance of oxidants and antioxidants.

The faces behind these independently owned and run businesses will be here to meet, greet, and give you an inside view into our worlds!
Saturday, October 25th from 11am-5pm at Sloane Merrill Gallery -- 75 Charles Street in Beacon Hill. Including an oil painting demo by local gallery artist Jeremy Durling!
Sunday, October 26th from 11am-5pm at Union Press -- 440 Somerville Avenue in Union Square. Including a letterpress demo by Eli G. Epstein!
Come one, come all! Here's the Facebook invitation -- feel free to RSVP.
Paint the Hill-- 30 Artists / 30 Locations / Lots of Wet Paint!
On Saturday, June 7th, we had the pleasure of hosting our first ever Paint the Hill Event with the Beacon Hill Civic Association!
The event was a smashing success! Thirty artists painted around Beacon Hill from early morning until 4pm when all the paintings returned to the gallery for the evening Soirée and Reveal.
Participating artists were from around the greater Boston area, some with an intimate knowledge of Beacon Hill and some exploring the Hill for the first time. All painted on private property accessible to the public.
A big THANK YOU to our entire Paint the Hill committee and all of our sponsors who made this event possible: 75 Chestnut, Hampshire House, Fastachi, Beacon Hill Wine & Spirits, Sevens, Hingham Institute for Savings, Panificio, grosgrain & ink LLC, Boston Art & Framing, Beacon Hill Gourmet, The Boston Courant, Opus Affair, Soon Spoon, and Massachusetts Convention Center Authority.
If you see anything that catches your eye -- contact us! A number of the paintings are still available for purchase in the gallery.
A Contemporary Mirror: Mary Sauer
Available in the April 2014 issue of The Artist's Magazine -- this fantastic interview with Mary Sauer offers a look into the techniques, materials, and process she uses to create her stunning portraits. Having just observed Mary's work while she was in town to start a portrait commission -- this article is spot on, a MUST read!
Below are three paintings by Mary that show different steps in her process.
Gregory Prestegord: Beauty and the Grit
We wanted to share Greg's just-released article "Beauty and the Grit" from Artists on Art Magazine. Greg expounds on his back group, evolution as a painter, and current inspirations -- a great read!
We hope you enjoy the peek into Greg's world!
Three New Additions: Greg Horwitch, Daniel Robbins, & Kelly Carmody!
We are excited to announce the addition of Greg Horwitch, Daniel Robbins, & Kelly Carmody to the gallery! All three have very different backgrounds and styles, making them each a unique addition to our roster of artists.
Greg Horwitch
Born in Boston, Greg received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and upon graduating, traveled to Italy with plans to continue his education. He spent the next 12 years studying and then teaching at the Charles H. Cecil Studios in Florence. Greg recently moved back to the States and now lives in New York City although he pays frequent visits to Boston and mid-coast Maine -- even in the winter! Greg's painting subject matter is diverse, but his first love is the human figure and narrative.
"The subjects vary, but the vehicle is always light. The Italian word chiaroscuro literally means 'light-dark.' Light renders the world visible to the eye; darkness renders it captive to the imagination."
Daniel Robbins
Coming from an artistic background, Daniel graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2006 with a BFA. After participating in a number of shows in the Virginia & North Carolina area, Danny, who lives in Richmond, was featured in the Summer 2013 issue of Artists on Art Magazine. Danny has been recognized for his talent on numerous occasions including receiving the Virginia's Finest Award at the Boardwalk Art Festival on multiple years in a row.
Kelly Carmody
We originally had the pleasure of working with Kelly last April when she was an invitational artist in our Back to Back Exhibition and are excited to announce that she is now a full time addition to the gallery! She studied at the Massachusetts College of Art where she developed a strong love of the figure and continued her education ofter graduating by taking workshops and classes to further investigate her love of the Old Masters. Soon after, she went on to study at the prestigious Art Students League in New York where she received a merit scholarship. Her work has received awards and recognition from numerous associations and publications including the Massachusetts Cultural Council, Art Renewal Center, Studio Visit Magazine, Artist Magazine, and the Cambridge Art Association. Kelly paints in a beautiful studio in the old Waltham Mill buildings along the Charles River.
We are delighted to have these three incredible artists join our roster at Sloane Merrill Gallery. Stop by to see their work in person, you won't be disappointed!
Studio Visit: Michelle Arnold Paine
We recently had the pleasure of visiting Michelle Arnold Paine's new studio space at the Waltham Mills Studios. While the great north light shinned through gorgeous windows, we chatted about Michelle's work, picked up a few new paintings, and just enjoyed her space.
We always love getting a sneak peek into an artist studio, especially since each one is different. We'd like to share a few pictures in the hopes that you will enjoy seeing it as much as we did.
Out & About: Boston International Fine Art Show
Last weekend we had the pleasure of participating in the 17th Annual Boston International Fine Art Show! As always, Fusco & Four put on a great show. Thank you to all our collectors and friends who came by to support us!

Chip Chick meets Intel's Genevieve Bell
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
Recently Chip Chick (aka Helena Stone) attended the IntelUpgrade event where she met Genevieve Bell. Genevieve, an anthropologist and Director of User Experience with Intel's Digital Home Group, led a session called Ethnography Update "Women & Technology".
Today Chip Chick posted a blog about Genevieve's session, which examined how women use technology in different places. Chip Chick observes, "It is fascinating to comprehend, that even though we are living in a global village where our own social and economic actions can effect others on the other side of the planet, and international communication between individuals is so common, that different communities in different places could use technology so differently, and manage to have such different desires for their use of technology." Read her entire post to learn more about Genevieve's session.

The Gift of Nothing This book is one of my favorites! I am a college counselor at a high school, and I give the book to select students for high school graduation. Traditionally, I read the book aloud to my graduating senior class. We always shed tears of joy as we discuss the meaning of the story. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an appreciation of friendship.

The Gift of Nothing Book This is an awesome book. I bought this as a Christmas gift for both my daughter and my neice. It portrayed a great message. I enjoyed reading this to her at Christmas time when we sometimes get so caught up in things that we forget what is truely important. This book shows that what is really important is the love and friendship between two people. After reading this I have to say in the future when i'm in need of a children's gift I will be buying another copy of this. I will also be watching for new books written by this author.

"Mutts" picture book! "The Gift of Nothing" is a picture book based on daily strips of the "Mutts" comic series (the volume that contains these strips is "More Shtuff", the third black-and-white collection of "Mutts"). As Christmas draws near, Mooch the cat wonders what gift to give his friend, Earl the dog. The first difficulty is that Earl seems to have everything he needs. The second difficulty is that, when Mooch decides to give a "gift of nothing", he cannot find "nothing" anywhere. How will Mooch show his friendship through giving nothing? Besides exploring the concepts of friendship and giving, the story also gently satirizes the commercialization of the holidays.

Sales of new homes rose more than expected last month to the highest level in more than a year as the housing market shows stability after its historic collapse.
WASHINGTON — Sales of new homes rose more than expected last month to the highest level in more than a year as the housing market shows stability after its historic collapse.
The Commerce Department says sales rose 6.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 430,000 from an upwardly revised 405,000 in September. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected a pace of 410,000.
Home shoppers in October were acting before lawmakers decided to extend a tax credit for first-time buyers and expand it to existing homeowners. Nevertheless, sales were up 5.1 percent from a year ago, the first yearly increase since November 2005.
The median sales price of $212,200 was off 0.5 percent from $213,200 a year earlier, but up 0.7 percent from September's level of $210,700.

Suggestions for an email server solution...
Hi Everyone,
Small question for you. I'm not a linux newbie... But I am a sendmail newbie...
What I'd like to do is this... My wife and I have email accounts with comcast.net. We currently exchange email with the comcast's servers. What I'd like to do is connect with my own server instead. My own server would offer smtp/pop3 for us, and be routing it all through comcast or other email service.
Is there a good "howto" for this setup?
Thank you.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Power, speed garner POY award for Lafayette's Glass
There wasn't much Kendall Glass couldn't do for the Lafayette softball team and coach Katie Moore on the diamond in 2013.

Lafayette bounced back in a big way Thursday evening at Oxford.
After dropping their last two division games, the Lady Commodores pieced together a near perfect effort to up-end crosstown rival Oxford 9-1 on the road.
Lady Commodores run over New Albany
It took the Lady Commodores a little while to get warmed up Tuesday night. Once Lafayette's bats got going, however, there was no turning back as the Lady 'Dores run-ruled New Albany 14-4 to open their division schedule.
Lady 'Dores pound Horn Lake
A 17-hit attack on offense higlighted the Lafayette Lady Commodores' 8-3 win over Class 6A Horn Lake Thursday night.

Lafayette sweeps Ripley on the road
The Lafayette Lady Commodores volleyball team earned a convincing 3-0 (25-13, 25-21, 25-15) victory at Ripley Thursday.

Trilogy-Imported by Performance Saddlery
Dressage SaddlesFor Sale on eBay Manufacturer: Trilogy-Imported by Performance Saddlery
Model: Verago
Category: Dressage Saddles
Purchase: I bought this saddle at a local tack shop. The owner of the shop is a master saddler and came out to fit my horse. I paid full retail for this saddle...^$3500 with the Elite leather, as that was all that was in stock.
Likes: I love this saddle and more importantly, my horse loves it more. The saddle fits my horse very well and keeps me in a great position. The leather is absolutely gorgeous and the workmanship in the saddle is wonderful. If I wear full seat breeches I feel like no matter what my mare does, I will stay on her. It's a great sense of self confidence. If my spooky mare spooks out from under me, I feel like I will just stay with her. And, she isn't nearly as spooky anymore since this new saddle.
Dislikes: The price is significant, but honestly, I feel it was worthwhile.
Quality: The quality of the saddle is just beautiful. The leather is dreamy. The saddle fitter/owner of the tack store was able to custom flock the saddle for my mare on site.
Summary: Love this saddle and wouldn't have thought of spending so much for a saddle previously. It was the only saddle that fit both my horse and I well.

Can I Plant Onions in the Fall?
I have seeds that I purchased recently, a packet of Red Hamburger Onions, and a packet of Yellow Sweet Spanish Onion.
I'd like to know if it's possible for me to plant them in August (I'm in Zone 8a), and if so, do they stay in the ground over the winter? Do they sprout anything before winter comes? Will the growth die back by the frost and the onions begins to grow again in the sprint for a spring harvest?
This is my first time growing onions (I've only grown green onions) and I don't have clear instructions at all on the packets. Searching online has yielded unclear results for me, especially for these varieties.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks GW.
I also had this question when I planted onion sets about three weeks ago. I'm in zone 5a Utah. I was told that the season wouldn't be long enough now to grow full size onions but that I could get green onions. Not sure if they over winter. Alot of the sets I planted didn't sprout, I only got about 7 sprouts right now which is a high failure rate considering I planted like 50 sets.
Yes, you can, and you can harvest green onions from them all winter long, and next summer they should set large bulbs for you.
But I have to caution you, I tried seeding some onions this spring, and I Didn't get a single sprout to come up from the onion seed, So I'm cautious to direct seed onions again (like I might've needed to start them in flats). I only mention it because I remember the feeling I had when my two rows didn't come up at all, and I seeded them somewhat thickly.
What I mean to say is, check and double check how to sow the seeds, because I followed the package directions and got squat. Hopefully someone else on here knows the tricks of onion seeding.
To the OP, in Zone 8a, yes, it is SOP to plant them in fall, that is how the commercial growers do it, fall planting, harvest in about April -- the Vidalia onions come in usually mid-April.
To AiliDeSpain - Your summer-sown green onions, if they overwinter, would bolt and try to make seed heads instead of bulbs the next year, that is just their natural life cycle. In harsh winter climates we have to plant in spring.
The sets you got were probably mostly dried out and dead by mid-summer. That is why such a poor survival rate. They often show up in the stores by the end of February, so it is asking a lot of them to survive that long dry on a shelf in a mesh bag.
I recall from my youth that old farmers treated different varieties of onions differently. This Onions are characterized by day length; "long-day" onion varieties will quit forming tops and begin to form bulbs when the day length reaches 14 to 16 hours while "short-day" onions will start making bulbs much earlier in the year when there are only 10 to 12 hours of daylight. may afford one explanation. This Texas A&M site has an 'onion from seed' section.

$50 OBO - JK Rear axle shafts -trail spares
$50 OBO - JK Rear axle shafts w/ bearings and Retainers
Rear axle shafts for a JK non-Rubicon Dana 44. They are the stock axles with bearings and retainers and ring. Passenger side wheel mount flange is slightly tweaked from a light curb hit, so these are suggested for trail spare use. No bearing noise when removed and the fluid was in good condition. As far as pricing goes I have no idea what a fair price is for a trail spare set of axle shafts for a JK. So I post up $50 OBO. I.e. – I not real proud of these and want someone to get a good deal actually prefer a trade. You can PM me, but prefer a call or text 330-553-6045.
