SAN DIEGO — Maybe the Giants made a devil's bargain for all those baseballs that Barry Bonds pounded over the palm trees at old Jack Murphy Stadium.
Or maybe the San Diego Padres have an airtight scouting report on the Giants, and their pitchers are following it to the letter.
Or maybe fish tacos enhance performance.
Comic or cosmic. Whatever the reason, the Giants simply cannot beat their thrifty neighbors to the south. There comes a point when frustration becomes farce, but nobody was laughing after Monday night's 3-1 loss at Petco Park.
It bears emphasizing: The Giants are 0-7 against the Padres and 21-9 against everyone else.
Frustrating, a radio reporter asked losing pitcher Matt Cain?
"Does that really need to be asked?" Cain said. "It's obvious. We need to win. We've got to win."
Chase Headley hit a tiebreaking single off Cain in the fifth inning, and the Giants were unable to rally. Their offense tallied just four hits off left-hander Clayton Richard and two relievers.
The Giants have scored nine runs in seven losses to the West Division-leading Padres, all closely contested affairs.
"The games have been very similar," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "They're pitching a little better, and we're not hitting. It's pretty simple. "... We've been in every game and come up short. The only way it's going to turn is to swing the bats a little better."
After finishing this two-game series today, the Giants and Padres won't renew acquaintances until Aug. 13. Then they will pack in 10 more games against each other down the stretch.
Maybe they will match up differently in late summer. Maybe the cash-strapped Padres will have traded Adrian Gonzalez and the Giants will have acquired another hitter or two. Maybe the Padres won't be so fortunate to continue missing Tim Lincecum's start.
But for now, what's a frustrated skipper to do? Pull the lineup out of a hat?
"Yeah, I know it's been done," Bochy said. "But we're in the thick of things. I don't think now is the time to start doing that."
Every Giants mistake is a back-breaker against the Padres, and it was no different this time.
Cain missed his outside target with an 0-2 fastball that Gonzalez pounded for a solo home run in the first inning. After Headley put the Padres ahead, they added a run in the seventh when Sergio Romo threw a bases-loaded pitch that plunked Kyle Blanks, who is in an 0-for-26 rut with 13 strikeouts.
In case you were wondering, since 1969, when the Padres sprang into being, neither team has swept a season series from the other. The Giants lost 11 of 13 to the Padres in 1996. And thanks largely to a torrent of Bonds home runs, the Giants destroyed the Padres for a 14-5 record each season from 2001-03.
As if it mattered, the Giants entered this series as the hot team. They swept the Houston Astros last weekend while the Padres fell cold at home and lost three games to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Giants managed a run in the fourth when Pablo Sandoval, Bengie Molina and Juan Uribe strung together singles.
As usual, San Diego had the final answer. David Eckstein reached on a single that glanced off third baseman Sandoval, moved up on a one-out walk to Gonzalez and scored on Headley's single.
Closer Heath Bell's ninth inning was interrupted twice when fans ran onto the field. But after giving up a leadoff double to Aubrey Huff, he struck out Uribe and pinch hitter Eugenio Velez. Nate Schierholtz flied out to end it.
The Giants thought they caught a break before the first pitch, when the Padres put Giants killer Scott Hairston on the disabled list with a strained hamstring.
But this season, the Padres do not lack for heroes. Not against the Giants, anyway.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a naturally occurring sulphur compound and nutritional component of many foods. In fact sulphur is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body, but despite its abundance in food, deficiencies have been identified in certain groups of people. MSM supports multiple structures and functions within the body including connective tissues and the cardiovascular system.MSM is a source of organic sulphur, which is important for the formation of collagen, a strong fibrous protein which forms a flexible matrix that is the foundation of a wide variety of connective tissue including cartilage tissue, skin, hair, nails and many other structures within the body. MSM may therefore be of value for those looking to maintain flexibility and joint health as well those looking to promote skin, nail and hair health.
In addition to providing organic sulphur, MSM also comprises of methyl groups that may be important in the maintenance of cardiovascular health, particularly as methyl groups are important in controlling levels of harmful homocysteine in the blood.
In fact MSM plays a crucial role in many important functions of the human body, which helps to maintain good health. Solgar's MSM powder is suitable for vegans and provides a convenient way to supplement this versatile nutrient.
Directions: As a food supplement for adults, one-half (1/2) teaspoon daily with 227ml (8 fI. oz.) of water or juice, preferably at mealtime, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.

Prostate Cancer Health Center
Paxil May Ease Hot Flashes in Men
Oct. 14, 2004 -- The antidepressant Paxil may help relieve hot flashes in men undergoing hormone therapy for prostate cancer.
Hot flashes are mainly seen as symptoms of female menopause, but they can also affect men on androgen ablation therapy, a hormone deprivation treatment (stopping the production of the male hormone testosterone) used in various stages of prostate cancer.
Almost 75% of men on androgen ablation therapy experience hot flashes, according to Charles L. Loprinzi, MD, and colleagues from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
"Although hot flashes in men with prostate cancer are well documented, their treatment has not received as much attention," says Loprinzi, in a news release.
Just as in women, hot flashes can disrupt quality of life for men. Symptoms range from mild to extremely severe and may be accompanied by anxiety, irritability, and feeling out of control.
Reducing Hot Flashes
Paxil, an antidepressant made by GlaxoSmithKline (a WebMD sponsor) has shown promise in relieving hot flashes in women, so Loprinzi's team wanted to see how it affected hot flashes in men.
Other treatments for male hot flashes involve hormones, which may not be compatible with prostate cancer treatment.
Loprinzi and colleagues studied 18 prostate cancer patients who had hot flashes from androgen ablation therapy.
For the first week, the men didn't take Paxil. Instead, they started recording their hot flash symptoms in journals, which they kept throughout the five-week study.
During the second week, participants took 12.5 milligrams per day of Paxil. Doses increased to 25 milligrams per day in the third week and peaked at 37.5 daily milligrams in the fourth week.
For the fifth and final week of the study, the men were allowed to maintain the maximum dose or cut back to one of the lower doses used earlier. Ten participants chose to continue the maximum dose. Five decreased to 25 milligrams per day, and three dropped down to 12.5 daily milligrams.
Hot flashes eased during the study in all the men. The men reported a 50% drop in hot flash frequency and a 59% drop in their hot flash score, which was derived by multiplying daily hot flash frequency by average daily severity.

With its annual Cops and Kids event just around the corner, the Washington County Sheriff's Office is busily stockpiling items for its upcoming Fraternal Order of Police auction, which will take place Nov. 16 at the Marietta Shrine Club.
"The success of our auction depends on the generous donations from our community," said Sgt. Scott Mankins of the Sheriff's Office.
So far nearly 40 items have been donated, including a year's supply of ice cream, a certificate for a zip lining adventure, a Middleton doll and autographed sports memorabilia from the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals.

JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
Sgt. Scott Mankins of the Washington County Sheriff's Office checks out the Ohio State University-themed stoplight painted by students at the Washington County Career Center to be auctioned off at the Fraternal Order of Police auction. The auction will help raise money for the annual Cops and Kids Christmas shopping event.
Also up for grabs this year is a working stoplight that was carefully designed and painted in Ohio State University colors by students at the Washington County Career Center.
Auto collision instructor Gary Ruble said his students had a lot of fun deciding how to paint the stop light and executing the project.
"It just an honor to be able to work on something that benefits the community," said Ruble.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Annual Fraternal Order of Police Auction.
When: Nov. 16 at the Marietta Shrine Club; Silent auction begins at 6 p.m.; Live auction begins at 7 p.m.
Cost: Tickets are $15 and include dinner catered by Cowboy Concessions. Tickets can be purchased in advance by calling the Sheriff's Office at 376-7070.
Benefits: Helps fund the annual Cops and Kids event, which helps underprivileged children get gifts for Christmas.
Donations are still welcome; contact the Sheriff's Office to donate.
The stoplight will also be re-wired by construction instructor Ken Gebhart so it can be plugged into a typical outlet.
Mankins said he is hopeful the OSU-themed stoplight will generate a lot of interest at the auction.
The sheriff's office is still looking for donations to add to the auction block, he said. Though local businesses donate many items, individuals are always welcome to do so as well.
"Not only do we need items, but we need people to show up and bid on the items," Mankins said.
The auction, which takes place at the Marietta Shrine Club, is the office's only fundraiser for the annual Cops and Kids event, which will happen later in December.
For that event, the sheriff's office looks for disadvantaged children that might not have much of a Christmas, and they take them shopping at K-Mart with uniformed officers.
"We usually take 20 to 25 kids. This may be a case where they had a health issue in the family, or it could be that dad has lost his job. We try to look for that group that maybe does not get the help normally," said Lt. Mark Johnson of the Sheriff's Office.
While shopping, the officers make sure first that they purchase warm, winter clothing, and then help the children pick out a gift for a loved one and something special for themselves, added Johnson.
The event is also a good chance for children to see officers as positive role models, and not just someone making an arrest or writing a ticket, said Mankins.
The silent auction begins Nov. 16 at 6 p.m. at the Marietta Shrine Club. There is a $15 admission fee for the auction, which includes a dinner catered by Whipple-based Cowboy Concessions.
Anyone who would like to donate an item for the upcoming auction or purchase a ticket can contact the Sheriff's Office at 376-7070.

For a full bio of Coach O'Sullivan, including awards won by him and the Villanova student-athletes during his tenure, click here.
Marcus O'Sullivan is in his 18th year as the Frank J. Kelly Endowed Track & Field Coach in 2015-16. He is the head coach of the men's cross country and track & field teams and is also charged with directing the entire program. The track & field program at Villanova is among the most storied in the history of collegiate sports and O'Sullivan is in a unique position as not only a coach to the team's current student-athletes but also the steward of the program's incredible history.
No person could be more qualified to fulfill these dual roles as O'Sullivan, whose accomplishments during his own racing career both for the Wildcats and professionally have helped to strengthen the program's legacy. O'Sullivan was a two-time NCAA champion as an undergraduate at Villanova, was a part of six Penn Relays titles and also captured a total of 10 BIG EAST crowns. He went on to become a four-time Olympian and is one of just three people ever to run more than 100 sub-four minute miles.
In his 18 years as a head coach O'Sullivan has maintained the program in a place of national prominence. Over the years he has coached 15 national champions, 93 All-Americans and 180 BIG EAST champions. He has also guided Villanova to seven Championship of America titles at the Penn Relays. Meanwhile, his teams have won one national championship while posting five top-10 team finishes at national meets, in addition to winning 11 BIG EAST team titles. O'Sullivan was named the Women's Cross Country National Coach of the Year by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) in his first season as head coach (1998). He is also a six-time USTFCCCA Mid-Atlantic Region Coach of the Year and an 11-time BIG EAST Coach of the Year.
O'Sullivan is leading a Wildcats team that is in the midst of a steady run of success. Beginning with the 2010-11 academic year and continuing through the end of the 2014-15 campaign, Villanova has received a total of 40 All-America honors, 31 of which have come since the start of the 2012-13 academic year.
The success at the national level continued in 2014-15, as the Wildcats tallied a top-10 team finish at the NCAA Championships in cross country for the first time since 2001. Villanova made its program-record eighth straight NCAA appearance in 2014 and sophomore Patrick Tiernan repeated as an All-American. He was also the BIG EAST individual champion for the second straight year and led the Wildcats to their third team title in the past four seasons. During the indoor track & field season, the distance medley relay squad earned a fifth place finish at the NCAA Championships and junior Rob Denault was a second-team All-American in the Mile. Junior Jordy Williamsz was a first team All-American outdoors in the 1500 meters for the second straight year, while Denault (1500 meters) and Tiernan (5000 meters) were each second team All-Americans. O'Sullivan was named the Mid-Atlantic Region Coach of the Year by the USTFCCCA for the outdoor season.
Perhaps the most eye-catching of the accomplishments for Villanova over the past two years are the program's consecutive BIG EAST "triple crowns." The Wildcats captured the team titles at the cross country, indoor track & field and outdoor track & field meets in each of the past two years. This is the first time in the program's 30-plus years in the BIG EAST that the team has swept the three team titles. Each of the last three Villanova champion cross country teams (2011, 2013, 2014) have had six runners earn All-BIG EAST honors. The run of dominance has gone even further during the track seasons. At each of the last four BIG EAST track & field meets -- the 2013-14 indoor and outdoor meets, and the 2014-15 indoor and outdoor meets -- the Wildcats have set meet records for highest team scores. Villanova won seven events at the indoor BIG EAST Championships in 2015 and then set a program record by winning eight events at the outdoor meet.
O'Sullivan has also guided Villanova to Championship of America titles at the Penn Relays in each of the past two years. One of the highlights of the 2015 outdoor season was a memorable 4xMile relay in which Williamsz outdueled Oregon anchor Edward Cheserek in the final 200 meters as the Wildcats won a thrilling Championship of America race. It was the program's first 4xMile title since 2001 and came on the heels of Villanova winning the 4x800 meter relay title a year earlier. Additional success at the Penn Relays in 2015 came in the field events, where senior Elbert Maxwell won the championship section of the long jump.
The 2013-14 campaign was one of the best in program history. The Wildcats won their second cross country team title in three years at the BIG EAST Championships, while the team also captured the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional title for the first time since 2003. Tiernan, in his first taste of collegiate competition, was the individual winner at both of those events and Villanova earned a team bid to the NCAA Championships for the seventh consecutive season.
The Wildcats won seven different events at the 2014 indoor BIG EAST Championships. With their six titles at the 2015 indoor meet, Villanova has won multiple events at the conference meet in each of the last eight years. The Wildcats have also won back-to-back outdoor BIG EAST titles on their home track while winning a combined 14 events at those two championships.
The 2014 outdoor season culminated with Villanova sending four athletes to the NCAA Championships, the largest contingent the Wildcats have had outdoors since 2002. Tiernan and Williamsz were first team All-Americans in the 5000 meters and the 1500 meters, respectively, with Tiernan running a personal best time of 13:31.25 to become the second-fastest 5000 meters runner in school history. Williamsz also ran consecutive races in the 1500 meters which were the metric equivalent of sub-four minute miles.
Villanova produced three first team All-Americans indoors in 2014 and O'Sullivan was chosen as the Mid-Atlantic Region Coach of the Year. Other highlights from the season include Williamsz becoming the 36th runner in school history to run a sub-four minute mile and Tiernan breaking the indoor school record in the 5000 meters. The previous mark had stood for over 30 years and the new mark is the first school record in any individual running event since O'Sullivan coached Adrian Blincoe to the 3000 meters record in 2002.
Villanova and the Four-Minute Mile
One of the trademarks of the Wildcats incredible history is the number of sub-four minute miles run by Villanova athletes. A group that now includes 36 runners, headlined by O'Sullivan himself, has combined to run 348 sub-four minute miles and another 309 equivalent 1500 meters times. O'Sullivan has coached 12 members of this group, including three in recent seasons: Sam McEntee and current Wildcats Rob Denault and Jordy Williamsz. McEntee was the first of those three to achieve the feat when he posted a time of 3:57.86 at the Penn State National in January, 2012. Later that year McEntee added a 1500 meters time of 3:36.81, which at the time ranked as the 10th fastest mark in NCAA history. McEntee is now linked with former Villanova great Sydney Maree, who ran the fastest 1500 meters in collegiate history in 1981. Denault broke the four-minute mark for the first time in March, 2013 at the Alex Wilson Invitational (3:59.39) and Williamsz made his mark with a time of 3:56.84 at the Iowa State Classic in February, 2014. That is the fastest time by a Villanova runner since O'Sullivan ran faster during his own racing career. Only 12 of the 36 members of the Wildcats sub-four group have recorded a faster time.
The trio of McEntee, Denault and Williamsz give the Wildcats seven runners in the last eight years who have broken the sub-four mark. The streak has a definitive starting point, as both Bobby Curtis and Michael Kerrigan ran a sub-four minute mile on the same day at the Swarthmore Last Chance Invitational in May, 2007.
Since then Villanova has added to its legacy with a sub-four equivalent run by Matthew Gibney in the 1500 meters at the NCAA Championships in 2009; Gibney later went on to post a mile time of 3:58.12 at the Flotrack Husky Classic in February, 2011. He was joined on the sub-four list by Carl Mackenzie, who ran a 1500 meters equivalent in 2010, as well as by McEntee in 2012, Denault in 2013 and Williamsz in 2014.
Penn Relays Tradition
Any mention of Villanova track & field quickly invokes the unmatched success that the Wildcats program has had at the Penn Relays. Between the men's and women's teams Villanova has won 133 Championship of America titles in the history of the world-famous meet, dating back to the program's first two relay titles back in 1955.
The Wildcats tradition at the Penn Relays has been a strong one under O'Sullivan's watch, with Villanova most recently winning the Championship of America 4xMile relay in 2015, after capturing the 4x800 relay title in 2014. The latter race was the 11th title in the 4x800 relay for the Wildcats but the first since 1992. Samuel Ellison anchored that relay after having run on the Wildcats previous Penn Relays champion relay as a freshman. Villanova won the distance medley relay in both 2009 and 2011, with Matthew Gibney running the anchor leg both times. Gibney was selected as the Men's Athlete of the Meet for the relay events in 2009.
O'Sullivan has coached seven Championship of America relay winners and nine champions overall. In his second year as head coach, the women's team won the 4x1500 meter relay in 2000 and Mike Brown won an individual championship in the 400 meter hurdles. One year later the men's team won titles in both the distance medley relay and the 4xMile relay. Maxwell won the championship section of the long jump in 2015.
National and BIG EAST Championships
Villanova has had a first team All-American at the outdoor NCAA Championships in each of the past five seasons and eight times in the last nine years overall. Within this stretch Bobby Curtis won the 5000 meters national title in 2008, becoming the Wildcats first outdoor champion in any event since 1981 and only the second person in school history to win the 5000 meters outdoors.
Two-time Olympian Adrian Blincoe helped lead Villanova to a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships in both 2002 and 2003. In 2002 he was the individual national champion in the 3000 meters and anchored the Wildcats to a national title in the distance medley relay. Blincoe was preceded in the championship relay by Mike Brown, Jason Jabaut and Ryan Hayden. One year later Blincoe and Hayden, along with Nic O'Brien and Paul Moser, led Villanova to a repeat national championship in the DMR.
Beginning with the national championship in 2002 and continuing most recently in 2015, the Wildcats have tallied a top-eight finish in the distance medley relay seven times at the NCAA Championships. In 2013 the quartet of Jordy Williamsz, Samuel Ellison, Chris FitzSimons and Sam McEntee raced to a fifth place finish at the national meet. Williamsz anchored a 2015 squad that also included Dusty Solis, Donald Urschel and Elliot Slade to another fifth place showing.
Ellison was a five-time indoor All-American and earned first team honors in 2014 with a sixth place finish in the 800 meters. He was one of three first team All-Americans for the Wildcats during the 2013-14 indoor season, as Patrick Tiernan came in seventh in the 5000 meters and Jordy Williamsz placed eighth in the mile. Williamsz and Tiernan were also first team All-Americans outdoors in the 1500 meters and the 5000 meters, respectively, while Ellison and Elbert Maxwell earned honorable mention All-America honors in the 800 meters and the long jump.
O'Sullivan has also led his Villanova teams to a great deal of success in cross country, including consecutive top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championships in 2000 (6th) and 2001 (8th), as well as a seventh place finish in 2014. The Wildcats have earned a team berth to the national meet in each of the last eight seasons, a new program record for consecutive appearances. During this stretch Villanova has produced four All-Americans, including Bobby Curtis (2007), Mathew Mildenhall (2009) and the duo of Sam McEntee (2013) and Patrick Tiernan (2013, 2014).
During the indoor and outdoor track & field seasons the Wildcats have been dominant at the BIG EAST Championships. Villanova has won at least one event at the indoor conference meet each year dating back to 2001 and the team has won 13 events in the last two years alone.
Williamsz anchored the Wildcats to a conference title in the distance medley relay in 2013 and led a Villanova lineup that also included O'Sullivan, Donald Urschel and Alex Tully in the first three legs of the race. Villanova also had individual champions in the 800 meters (FitzSimons), the Mile (Denault) and the 3000 meters (McEntee) last year.
Four different student-athletes have won at least six BIG EAST championships under O'Sullivan, led by Ryan Hayden with 10 conference titles. Hayden was a four-time BIG EAST champion in the 4x800 meter relay and was the anchor of three of those four winners. He also anchored the Wildcats to a pair of DMR titles and won individual championships in the 800 meters, the 1000 meters and the Mile. Adrian Blincoe and Elvis Lewis each won seven BIG EAST titles during their Villanova careers and Bobby Curtis was a six-time conference champion.
Academic Success
During his time as the Wildcats head coach O'Sullivan has ensured that his student-athletes have just as much success in the classroom as they do in athletic competition. Former standouts Matthew Gibney and Drew Eckman were each voted Capital One Academic All-Americans under O'Sullivan's watch and 2014 graduate Samuel Ellison received a prestigious Fulbright Scholarship to continue his academic studies overseas at the University of Birmingham in England. Sam McEntee was selected as the BIG EAST Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year for all sports in 2014-15. Men's track & field student-athletes have also been named the Villanova Senior Student-Athlete of the Year six times and have been named to the BIG EAST All-Academic Team a total of 453 times.
Coaching Villanova Alumni
In addition to continuing Villanova's already strong track & field tradition, O'Sullivan has worked hard to strengthen the program's relationship with a large alumni base. A part of that commitment by O'Sullivan includes working with former Wildcat student-athletes outside of the collegiate ranks as they pursue professional careers. O'Sullivan currently coaches former Villanova standout Frances Koons, who has excelled in the international ranks since finishing her collegiate career and also was a member of the Wildcats coaching staff for two years. Koons won the Olympic Development section of the 5000 meters at the Penn Relays in 2010 and qualified for the USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. She competed at the national outdoor meet in 2010 and 2011, in addition to running at the 2012 Olympic Trials. O'Sullivan also coached 2012 graduate Sheila Reid, who represented her native Canada at the London Olympics just two months after finishing her Wildcats career.
O'Sullivan previously coached Carmen Douma-Hussar, Marina Muncan and Adrian Blincoe following their collegiate careers for the Wildcats. Muncan joined Reid as a first time Olympian in 2012 and competed for Serbia. She previously was a finalist at the World Student Games in 2007. Blincoe became the 30th member of the men's program at Villanova to compete in the Olympics when he represented his native New Zealand by competing in the 5000 meters at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Douma-Hussar won a silver medal at the World Indoor Championships in the 1500 meters in 2004 and was a finalist in the event at both the 2004 Olympics and the 2005 Outdoor World Championships. O'Sullivan also coached former American record holder Bob Kennedy to a personal best in the 10000 meters.
Four-Time Olympian
During his own racing career O'Sullivan competed in the Olympics in 1984, 1988, 1992 and 1996. He is also a three-time indoor world champion in the 1500 meters and the 4xMile relay. O'Sullivan's professional career spanned more than 15 years and includes medals at the Goodwill Games, the European Championships, the World Championships and the U.S. Championships. O'Sullivan has the distinction of being one of only three men to run more than 100 sub-four minute miles.
Villanova Career

O'Sullivan also won six Penn Relays titles and was a 10-time BIG EAST champion, which is tied for the third most conference titles in school history. He won championships at the Penn Relays in the 4x1500 meter relay three times during his career (1981, 1982, 1984) and was also a two-time champion in the 4x800 meter relay (1982, 1984) in addition to winning a DMR title in 1981.
In BIG EAST competition, O'Sullivan won individual titles in the indoor 1500 meters three times and the outdoor 5000 meters once. He also helped the team win two relay titles each in the DMR, two-mile relay and 4x800 meter relay. Villanova made three appearances in the NCAA Championships for cross country during O'Sullivan's undergraduate career. O'Sullivan was honored for his career accomplishments in 2004 when he was inducted onto the Wall of Fame in Villanova Stadium.
Irish Pipeline
A native of Ireland, O'Sullivan' came to Villanova as part of the "Irish Pipeline" that started at the university in the 1950's.

Try this link for Vista icon information:
I talked to one of the folks on the Vista UI team about
it, and it turns out that they're migrating MSDN onto a
new platform - so if you see a URL with
msdn.microsoft.com it's the old version without the

Paper Chase
CD4+ lymphocyte function with early human immunodeficiency virus infection.
New England Deaconess Hospital, Division of Hematology/Oncology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA.
The pathogenesis of cellular immune deficiency following human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection could result from quantitative and/or qualitative dysfunction of the CD4+ lymphocyte population. To better characterize the T-cell response to soluble antigen with HIV infection, we have isolated peripheral blood lymphocytes and purified populations of CD4+ lymphocytes from healthy HIV antibody-positive subjects, patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related complex (ARC), and healthy HIV antibody-negative controls. T-lymphocyte function was determined by proliferative response to lectin (phytohemagglutinin), phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), calcium ionophore, purified recombinant HIV envelope gp120, tetanus toxoid antigen, and tetanus toxoid antigen in the presence of recombinant gp120 or purified recombinant soluble CD4. PBLs and CD4+ lymphocytes from asymptomatic HIV-infected subjects responded equally well to lectin, PMA, and/or calcium ionophore and to tetanus toxoid as cells from uninfected control subjects. The cells that proliferated in response to a soluble antigenic stimulus did not respond to gp120. Cells from subjects with ARC had a selective antigen recognition defect independent of the number of CD4+ lymphocytes. Recombinant gp120 inhibited CD4+ lymphocyte proliferation to antigenic stimulus by 30-40%. Recombinant soluble CD4, a proposed therapeutic for HIV, had no effect on T-cell response to antigen. A selective antigen recognition response was not compromised early in HIV infection but was compromised in subjects with ARC. Inhibition of proliferation to tetanus toxoid by gp120 suggests that HIV may affect major histocompatibility complex II restricted antigen recognition independent of CD4+ cell loss.

Interested in improving your attention skills after reading stories like "A Nation Distracted" and "The Focused Life" in our March-April 2010 issue? Evidence suggests that meditation is a good place to start—and, as luck would have it, the alternative press is chock full of assistance. Here's a smattering of stories and resources to get you started:
In 2008, Utne Reader reprinted Brad Warner's "Learn to Sit Still," a humble and humorous explanation of the state of non-thinking from the Buddhist review Tricycle. Warner, a Zen Buddhist monk, is the author of Hardcore Zen and Sit Down and Shut Up.
"Got seat?" Jonathan Kaplan asks. Writing for Psychology Today, the clinical psychologist and founder of Urban Mindfulness describes how to get contemplative during your (not-car-driving) commute. "Meditating on the subway is probably not ideal," he writes, "but it sure beats playing Brick Breaker on your Blackberry, messing with your iPhone . . . or skipping a meditation session altogether."
Shambhala Sun has an excellent collection of meditation and mindfulness resources available online, culled from the venerable bimonthly's archives. Yoga Journal offers an equally fine assortment of meditation stories and articles.
Although Penny Wrenn isn't writing exclusively about meditation, in her piece for Natural Solutions the writer nonetheless makes some prudent observations about the efficacy of jumping headlong into a lifestyle change.
From the POZ archives, here's a short and compelling piece about the health benefits of meditation for people living with HIV. Plus, a primer on types of meditation from "mindfulness meditation" to "centering prayer meditation" and get-started resources.

Move over Angry Bird, the crown now belongs to Candy Crush!
It is the world's most popular game to have hit Facebook, iOS and the Android Play store. With over 66 million players worldwide, you can be sure that the Candy addiction is for real. On Facebook alone, more than 15 million users spend their time playing the game daily.
Candy Crush has now overtaken Angry Birds in the popular ranking. Even its London-based developer King has surpassed the creator of Farmille – Zynga to be the world's most popular social gaming firm.
The latest figure comes after Zynga's most recent earnings call which now place them second with 52 million players daily. It is an impressive progress for a game that is just over six months old. Candy Crush was launched for mobile in late 2012.
What's not to love about the saga really? The goal of the game is simple, just match three or more sweets in a row to make them disappear, kind of similar to Bejewelled. But the hard part is progressing through the game; once a player loses five lives, you'll be locked out of the game for half an hour. It is the perfect time killer for many and addictive for all.
It is estimated that since the game was launched, Candy Crush Saga players have spent the equivalent of 103,000 years on it with over 1 trillion candies crushed.

A bill calling for a vote on blocking electronic bingo in Houston County is making its way through the state legislature.
Tuesday, the measure sponsored by Senator Harri Anne Smith of Slocomb was sent to the Senate Tourism Committee.
That committee is supposed to meet Wednesday, but Senator Smith's bill is not scheduled to be discussed.
The measure calls for a public referendum on banning electronic bingo in Houston County, allowing bingo to be operated only by non-profit organizations and ear-marking all profits for charity.
A companion measure introduced by Representative Benjamin Lewis of Dothan is still awaiting action in a house committee.

Hello active community i am a triathlete who has done about 8 triathlons two at olympic distance the rest were sprint tri's, but i was wondering if i can get some input from you guys on my traing. I have been training two times a day every day of the week except sunday for about 30 to 45 minutes for each session, and have been running in the morning, then switching off with bicycling or swim training in the day._ My question is to whether i should switch from running every morning to cycling every morning? _Reason being is running has always been my strentgth in my triathlons and happens to be where i actually pass people in my triathlons, and my bicycling just being mediocre i was told to work on my weakness of triathlons in the sport the most. I was also told that bicycling would be better because its less impact on your legs, even though my legs seem ok after running every morning.
If your body is fine with the running I would not change things on that end. I think that you will see improvement if you do some longer biking sessions. 45 minutes is probably not doing you a whole lot of good. I would find the time to do one to two biking sessions of at least two hours. If you don't have the time I would skip the run that day or just plan on doing a short 15 minute transition run after the longer biking session.
Something else to consider, if you simply can't find the time to ride 2 hours a couple times a week, is to do your 45 minute ride in some nice steep hills to build strength. 45 minutes in the flats isn't going to do much other than a good cardio workout if you can keep your heart rate up.
Keep in mind that the bike portion of the race is the longest, where you can make up or lose alot of time. If I the luxury to, I like to train with this in mind, spending most of my trainning on the bike, then run, then in the pool.
But if you have a real job,family,school etc.. your going to have to get in what you can when you can, but definately spend some time on that bike. Also keep in mind that you have to build up a seperate strength and cardio base for each event, as they all differ. Example: I came from a marathon background, and figured adjusting to the bike and holding a respectable pace would come naturally, WRONG! I was very surprised how quickly I bonked on my first trainning ride with my cycling buddies.It's just a different thing which requires road time, so have fun with it and let me know how it goes for you.
thank you for the reply on the weekends i able to squeeze in a 2 hour ride so i think im going to do that

USS CARL VINSON (NNS) -- USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) Dental Department personnel teamed with military and civilian colleagues to provide care for elderly patients at the American Red Cross Dental Clinic in Park Place, Norfolk, Va., April 1.
The volunteer effort was part of the clinic's annual "Senior Saturday" event, which provides financially disadvantaged Norfolk senior citizens with free dental care such as oral cancer screening, hygiene, fillings, and extractions.
"Our mission is to provide dental care to those residents of Norfolk who by no other means would be able to receive care," said Shirley Bisciglia, director of dental programs for the American Red Cross Dental Clinic. "We normally help low-income, working adults and once a year, we specifically focus on the elderly."
The clinic is the first and only dental facility run by the Red Cross as part of a pilot program, and serves as a model with the intent of developing similar facilities in the future.
The dental center is operated with the help of a limited amount of paid staff and mostly relies on volunteer support from local dentist, dental students, and from the many Navy dental departments and commands within the Norfolk area.
"This event wouldn't be possible without the help of the Navy personnel who give of their time here," said Bisciglia. "We wouldn't function as well as we do without the help of the volunteers ... not just with this event but with the care of all the patients we see."
Lt. Melissa Fries is a general dentist in the "Gold Eagle" Dental Department who often volunteers at the clinic, and helped to recruit dental personnel from the Vinson for Senior Saturday.
"I come here on a regular basis and I really enjoy helping people," said Fries. "We are able to give them a service they can't afford."
Fries said the experience also helps the Dental Department's junior personnel.
"They are able to come out here and perform work they aren't normally able to do within the Dental Department," said Fries.
For Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Sonya Sample, the event went beyond the opportunity to further her dental skills.
"I really enjoy helping others and this is a great way for me to be productive in the local community," said Sample. "Today we did a good thing for people who otherwise wouldn't have been able to receive the care they needed."
By the day's end, 30 elderly patients were treated at the clinic free of charge. Some received minor cleaning and others had teeth extracted. The overall process and accomplishments of Senior Saturday were due to the contributions of the many volunteers - mostly from the Navy -- who helped with the event.
"We just really appreciate the support of the Navy," said Bisciglia. "The amount of support is simply phenomenal."
The Carl Vinson is currently undergoing its scheduled refueling complex overhaul (RCOH) at Northrop Grumman Newport News shipyard. The RCOH is an extensive yard period that all Nimitz-class aircraft carriers go through near the mid-point of their 50-year life cycle.
During RCOH, Carl Vinson's nuclear fuel will be replenished and the ship's services and infrastructure will be upgraded to make her the most state-of-the-art aircraft carrier in the fleet and prepare for another 25 years or more of service.

Chart: Venture capital funding, Q1 2006
Recently, the small boutique venture capital firm has seemed like an endangered species.
Investment money has cascaded into venture capital firms, and the funds they manage have bloated. Some of the bigger VC funds have so much cash they can invest upward of $20 million a deal.
That has left fewer sources of money for entrepreneurs seeking modest amounts of funding -- say on the order of $1 million.
But lately, a handful of venture capitalists is stepping into the void. Silicon Valley VCs are leaving big firms to start their own, smaller firms, with plans to manage $100 million or less.
Smaller firms are more likely to back smaller, early-stage companies -- barely out of the garage -- and have the patience to step into the trenches and work closely with an entrepreneur, say their supporters.
``They roll up their sleeves, help us recruit our management team, introduce us to partners,'' says Mark Vogel, chief executive of Burlingame data management start-up Encirq, explaining why he took funding from two smaller funds but recently passed on a larger one.
Big firms have their strengths, too: lots of cash, for one.
Large firms pressured
But venture capitalists with those firms are under pressure to put their hoards of cash to work, which may not be good for young companies. Often, they oversee many portfolio companies (it's not unheard-of for a major league venture capitalist to sit on 15 boards). And they may be less likely to have the time to work with an entrepreneur still tinkering on a risky idea, and needing a mere $1 million. They gravitate toward doing later-stage deals that require more dollars.
Given those differences, there's a new crop of small firm VCs:
Stewart Alsop is raising a $75 million fund in San Francisco called Alsop Louie Partners, teaming up with Gilman Louie, former head of In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture arm. They plan to invest in early-stage technology companies. Last year, Alsop left the large Menlo Park firm New Enterprise Associates, which has moved toward later-stage investments with large amounts.
Vinod Khosla, one of the more successful venture capitalists during the Internet boom era, has launched a smaller fund, though he declines to say just how small. He left the well-known Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers last year, in part, he said, to make more aggressive bets on clean-technology companies, for example, in the ethanol area and in other ``science projects.'' Such risky investments are difficult for larger firms, he said.
``There's an inability to work with smaller needs -- with entrepreneurs who just need coaching, and not a lot of money,'' he says.
Peter Thiel, former chief executive of PayPal, last year joined with two other PayPal co-founders to launch a San Francisco venture capital firm, the Founders Fund. It totals $50 million, and focuses on consumer Internet start-ups.
Bill Burnham, formerly at Mobius Venture Capital, and Stu Phillips, previously at U.S. Venture Partners, left those Silicon Valley firms recently. Each is starting his own smaller fund.
Big problems
Entrepreneurs say big funds and firms can create problems by demanding a larger stake in the company in return for their dollops of cash -- thus diluting the ownership position of the founder.
Anand Jagannathan, who last week launched his online shopping start-up, Whatsbuzzing, has raised boatloads of venture money for his previous companies.
But he decided to avoid big firms this time. ``If you take money from a big firm, they're going to want to invest more,'' he says.
That sentiment is helping small funds.
However, even among small funds, there are different views about how small they should be.
San Francisco's Geneva Venture Partners, which seeded business software firm Salesforce.com, has split into two different funds. One partner is going very small, with a $50 million fund, while the other wants to have more clout with $100 million.
Igor Sill is joining with well-known investment banker Bill Hambrecht to manage the smaller tech fund.
By staying small, Sill aims for what he calls the sweet spot: the earliest-stage companies. If you invest early, when a company's valuation is lower, you can sometimes own a larger portion of the company for less money. And if it does well, you enjoy a higher investment return. ``You only need one or two winners to have a phenomenal return,'' he says.
But, for VCs, managing a bunch of small investments can take work. Vogel's Encirq, of Burlingame, for example, chose to accept funding from Sill's firm -- and to pass on an investment from a much larger firm -- in part because of the more intimate attention Sill could offer.
In part, the decision came from Sill's hustle, which included helping Vogel get a meeting with Samsung for a possible partnership deal.
However, being small can frustrate some venture capitalists -- especially if their start-ups need more cash than the VC can afford.
Tough lesson
Sill's initial partner at Geneva, Robert Troy, learned the hard way. While at Geneva, Troy invested in Zantaz, of Pleasanton, which sells software to help companies make sure their employees' e-mail comply with certain laws. Troy invested in 2001 and took a board seat. But the company did so well, it needed more cash to expand quickly, Troy explained.
Geneva didn't have enough, so the company turned to giant investor General Atlantic, and Troy was forced off the board.
Troy is now raising the $100 million fund, which he says is still small enough to enjoy the profits associated with early stage, but big enough to allow him to handle follow-on rounds too. ``The bottom line is, you have to have a critical amount of money,'' he says.
For now, though, large VC firms dominate the landscape.
Last year, a new low was reached in the number of small venture firms -- defined as having funds of $100 million or less. They made up only 44 percent of U.S. firms, down from 78 percent in 1992, according to Dow Jones VentureOne. Small firms accounted for only 7 percent of the money invested by all venture firms last year. During the first quarter of this year, the number dropped below 4 percent.
The median fund size, meanwhile, reached $209 million in the first quarter, far higher than the $85 million 10 years ago.
The dearth of small funds means friends and family, and wealthy individual investors, known as ``angel investors,'' have been stepping in, says Steven Harmston, director of global research for Dow Jones VentureOne.
One Santa Clara company, Kaboodle, which helps users bookmark their search results, recently raised $3.55 million from a group of 10 individual investors -- significantly more than angel financings in the past.
And these days, Silicon Valley is awash with angel investors who put their own money to work, typically $100,000 or less.
For example, several Google employees, who became millionaires after the IPO in 2004, are now angels. Others, like Ron Conway, who invested years ago in Google from his small fund called Angel Investors, have disbanded their firms and continue to invest as individuals.

Alice Munro Records Nobel Prize Video Conversation
Canadian short story writer Alice Munro was unable to travel to Stockholm Tuesday to accept her Nobel Prize in Literature, sending her daughter Jenny to the ceremony on her behalf.
But Munro, who is 82 years old, recorded a video conversation in place of a Nobel Lecture in Literature. In the video, Munro describes how Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid" got her interested in reading at a young age. She was so dismayed by the story's sad ending that she walked around her house and invented a new story with a happy ending.
"I thought that was due to the Little Mermaid," she said. She didn't consider whether the rest of the world would know her story or not, "because I felt it had been published once I thought about it. That was an early start on writing stories, I believe."
Later in the conversation, when asked "Who do you think you are?" Munro describes growing up in the Canadian countryside with people of Scottish-Irish descent. "It was a very common idea not to try too much. Never to think you were smart. That was another image that was very popular," she said. "To do anything like writing you have to think you're smart."
She says too that she never knew about the word "feminism" in her youth, but "of course I was a feminist. Actually, I grew up in a part of Canada where women could write more easily than men" because writing wasn't considered a masculine occupation at that time.

Williams finished with 16 points nine rebounds
Nov. 25, 2011
RENO, Nev. -
The University of Nevada women's basketball team opened up the annual John Ascuaga's Nugget Classic with a 71-69 win over Butler
With the win, Nevada improves to 2-2 on the season, while Butler drops to 1-3.
Nevada started the game on fire, jumping to a 9-0 lead over the Bulldogs by the 16 minute mark. The Wolf Pack shot an impressive 60 percent from the field in the first half, hitting 15-25 of their shot attempts. Kate Kevorken led Nevada's offensive production with 13 points. Butler got back in the game with their ability to knock down long distance shots, connecting on 7-11 of their three point attempts. Butler took a three point lead over Nevada heading into halftime.
Nevada and Butler continued to remain hot from the field to start the second half. The Pack committed to feeding the ball inside to the post early, allowing Kayla Williams to operate effectively in the paint. Danika Sharp found her shot in the second half, hitting several key three-point shots to keep Nevada ahead. Butler cut into the Wolf Pack's lead and the two teams were tied with 22 seconds left in the game. Nevada went ahead by two to win the game after Kayla Williams grabbed an offensive rebound and put it back in as she was fouled. Kate Kevorken led all scorers with 23 points, Kayla Williams had 16 points with nine rebounds, and Danika Sharp added 13 points.
Nevada advances to the John Ascuaga's Nugget Classic championship game where they will face No.16 Penn State Saturday night at 7 p.m. Iowa State and Butler will play in the consolation game Saturday at 5 p.m.
