Honestly I think it was just a mish mash of big egos and every single one of them had attitude problems back then lol. Axl should have talked to the lead guitarist in his band more about consulting a
Tobias is a fucking great songwriter, going by what we've heard on Chinese. He's all over it and it's a safe bet to assume Slash will be playing a lot of his tunes on the next record.

Ironic isn't it?
Well, Slash had played on two songs co-written by Paul, he had also played songs written by West Arkeen, etc. He probably wouldn't have minded doing that again, hadn't there been all the conflicts, hadn't Axl brought Paul in the studio with the band and had instead just said, "Hey Slash, Paul and I came up with these ideas in my home studio, can you do something with them?" And Axl could have sung on a couple of Slash's Snakepit songs as they were, Slash could have played on a couple of Axl's ballads, then they could have worked together to develop some of the other Slash stuff, etc.
But there were many issues and their problems were much deeper, so then each of them said no to what the other wanted, and Slash took the Paul thing very personally. Although at the time (and for the first 5-6 years after he quit) Slash would emphasize on their musical differences (and secondarily Paul) as the main reasons for the breakup, he would later say that it wasn't the real cause and that he wouldn't have had a problem working with Axl even on an industrial song if everything else had been right. Axl, from his own side, has also denied that the breakup had to do with the musical direction.
I believe that now they have sorted a lot of this stuff out, and Slash won't have a problem working on some songs co-written by Paul as long as he doesn't have to work with him directly

I would be more interested to hear them squaring up from Axl referring to Slash as a murderer, but I don't think either of them have found it sensible to revisit some of the ugliest things said back in those days.
Edit: Figuring someone might ask about this so you can read about it at the bottom here: (2) 07. 1987: APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION (a-4-d.com) Of course, Axl could have been referring to something else than Crew's death, but I find it more likely it was about his OD. "Stone cold". Harsh words if there ever was any.

By the way, Art Tavana in his recent GnR book quotes an email he got from Paul, where he basically says that his role has been misunderstood by the fans and that he'd like to tell his side (and talk in general), but he's prevented by his contract.
@Blackstar I assume you read the book, may I ask how you liked it? I've been keeping an eye on it for some time and I wanted to get it. Quoting an email from Paul, even if just saying he can't talk because of NDA, seems gold to me. Is there any other new info like this in the book that makes it worth reading?
3 hours ago, Twinaleblood said:
It's half biography and half essay about the public perception of the band from Tavana's cultural perspective as a fan. It revolves around Axl's life and personality, so the book is basically about him. The perspective is interesting as such, but I've read another book that did that better, in my opinion. Each chapter deals with a different subject where biographical information is combined with pop culture references and Tavana's interpretations and comments. I thought that he makes some intriguing observations, but also that he sometimes stretches some points and omits others that don't fit his interpretations.
The factual part has little new information. It relies mostly on well known articles and interviews (the RS 2000 article is cited a lot. I don't know whether it is because he considers it a credible source or because it's one of the article that shaped the fans' perception of Axl - probably both) and then some original interviews with Goldstein, Niven, Zutaut, etc.. The Paul email is definitely the highlight. There is some stuff about Axl obtaining the rights to the band name, but I don't know if it's based on information or if it's speculation. It doesn't cover the CD era much, because he has covered it in the Billboard article and didn't want to just reuse that in the book. Other than that, there are a couple of anecdotes as well as rumours/hearsay about the reunion (like "Speaking privately to friends, Axl said..."). It covers things discussed by the fans, like the leaks saga, the video takedowns, TB's role, etc.
Edited August 21, 2021 by Blackstar
Thank you, exactly what I needed to know. I hoped it included more stuff like Paul's email, but it seems an interesting read nonetheless. I'll give it a shot.
The problem is the author hasn't been around for nearly enough time to tell us anything we don't already know.
Like the video takedowns - he has no idea who is behind them, and has absolutely no idea who the main suspect is, why he's doing it and what his relationship is with Team Brazil.
His simplistic take on the video takedowns is what anyone would come away with in about 10 mins of research, rather than actually trying to drill into it and discuss it with the person who is actually doing it, his friends, his enemies etc etc.

Maybe there's a line on the contract that says: "Slash can record and write songs for GNR as long as Paul Tobias is not performing it on the same record".

I would love to know how was the story behind that Ultimate Guitar article where the author clearly had the Village leaks from Zutaut several years before the leak.

Yes, the New York Times writer, too. He had interviewed Zutaut for the article, and from the way he described the songs to the Sp1at website it sounded that what he had heard was part of the Village leaks.

I know this thread is about slash and Paul huge, but that incident IMO incapsulates the whole issue with GNR post UYI tour, when the lack of communication in the band got worse. I don't know why Axl couldn't have simply asked slash would he be okay with working with Paul. The worst slash could have said was no, but while I agree that slash had(and still has) an ego because given he was at the time one of the best guitarists in the world, it's hardly a shock, he'd take issue with someone being forced on him.
it's a what if, but I think Izzy leaving the band was a detriment to the band both in terms of songwriting but also in terms of him being a go between between axl and slash.
5 minutes ago, IrishgunnerII said:
I feel like that era from 1994-96 was full of tension and power struggles between big egos in Slash and Axl. Both were at the point where it seems they wouldn't back down from each other. They had just completed a massive tour and were firmly established at that point so there seemed to be no rush or urgency to record music or tour any time soon from Axl.
Difference is Axl held all the power and I'm sure the band felt trapped at times to Axl's whims. Just seems to me you had a band that accomplished more in 5 years than most do in 20 and deep down had no firm idea of what to do next.
VampireSoul
Slash also says that Axl is incapable of lying, so who to believe here 😄 Maybe they both just experience the situation differently and suck at communication. I wouldn't be quick to write off Axls side of things.

I think this happened most of the time. Miscommunication was probably the main reason for the break up.

I'm of the opinion that when people talk about Axl not lying they're not necessarily saying what he claims is actually true..I think they realize they're dealing with a "unique" person who actually thinks what he's saying is true..even if it's ridiculous. I guess you could call this using your illusion or delusion to be even more precise.
You're right though, communication between them was obviously an issue. Add in yes people and hanger on types chirping in your ear and it doesn't take long for professional/personal relationships to become fractured.
Funnily enough, Slash plays that simple Absurd riff.
in 2001, Tobias was the only one who played that riff in the 1st verse.
Maybe Slash is playing yet another Tobias riff

Paul is still associated with the band in some capacity as far as I understand, he also helped with the album credits and CD liner notes.
lost un the jungle
The part that nor Slash, Duff or Matt never say is that they were fucked up junkies during that period. Not saying Axl was an example, but we have to put things in perspective that they cannot reason as "normal" people do. This is why maybe sounds crazy that the biggest band in the world was broken up by Paul Huge. It was not Paul's fault, obviously, he was the perfect excuse. Also once the lawyers thing came into place there was no turning back.
It is a shame because GNR was damaged really bad and non of the sides took an advantage on going solo. You might say "Axl kept the name and profit from touring with new guns", but after that you see that maybe what Axl made in 15 years with new guns then made it in 5 concerts with Slash and Duff.
Finally, see that nobody never took accountability for what happened, it was always the other people's fault.
13 hours ago, VampireSoul said:
Yes, the lack of communication and each of them seeing things differently was a big part of the problem.
In this particular case, Axl said he brought in a friend of his as someone to jam and write with, who might or might not become a member, record or tour with the band. To him that was "normal," there was nothing odd about it.
But to Slash and Duff that concept was probably incomprehensible or nonsensical. To them someone just either was or wasn't in the band, so since they were supposed to write with that guy, it meant that he would be in the band - and they didn't want him in the band.

"The public gets a different story from the other guys  Slash, Duff, Matt - who have their own agendas. The original intentions between Paul and myself were that Paul was going to help me for as long as it took to get this thing together in whatever capacity that he could help me in. So when he first was brought into this, he was brought in as a writer to work with Slash. At the time those guys never suggested one name. Nobody else. Ever.
Paul was one of the best people we knew who was both available and capable of complimenting Slash's style. You could bring in a better guitar player than Paul. You could bring in a monster. I tried putting Zakk Wylde with Slash and that didn't work. It brought out some interesting things in Slash but it was a different approach that ended up being overpowering and didn't bring out the best in Slash. It brought out some interesting things and it would've worked to do some songs. But Paul was only interested in complimenting Slash, laying down a foundation of a riff or something. That would accent or encourage slash's lead playing. Now whether or not Paul was going to be officially on the album or on the tour that really wasn't an actual consideration at the time. It was in the air as a possibility but Paul was a friend trying to help us and he had a huge respect for Slash. He is and this is the bottom line a good man and that's the reality behind things. That doesn't change what took place with old Guns. I feel that some of the recordings we did in that limited amount of time had some of the best playing that Slash had done at least since Illusions. I was there. I know what I heard and it was pretty exciting."
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=490
The most interesting part in this Axl quote is the last sentences. Despite everything, Axl thought that some great stuff came out of those Slash-Paul Tobias sessions. And that's definitely not something Axl made up later, because in an interview from 1995 Slash also said that Axl thought they had some "great songs," and those songs he was referring to could have been only from those sessions in 1994, since, other than the failed sessions with Gilby and the Snakepit songs in March/April 1994 and the ones with Zakk Wylde in early 1995, no other sessions took place in that period.
I'd really like to hear that stuff. Obviously it wasn't completed songs with vocals and probably not even completed instrumentals, but I'd be curious to know if Axl was right and they were good song ideas or he was just "delusional."
On 8/21/2021 at 3:07 AM, Voodoochild said:
Paul came in to bring back the sleazy and dynamic rhythm guitar that Izzy had. Gilby didn't, and it's very noticeable in any UYI show or even on TSI.
The "Paul is not a good guitar player" is very much a rhetoric made by Slash to justify his disliking (which was followed by Duff and Matt), IMO. I didn't read Slash's book, so I know nothing about the supposed "attitude" Paul had toward the other members, but it seems like Duff and Matt were still working with him for a time after Slash left.
I can count several things, but just listen to his work on The Blues and Madagascar. Even his side project Mank Rage had some very good rhythm guitars.
Also, let me say: his guitar in SFTD is actually kinda cool. Yes, the mixing is clearly a knock at Slash with the levels, but I really like the rhythm guitar there.
That was bad mixing. Robin's guitar was all over the place too. The three guitar mix were always hard for the band.
Very interesting. It's an impressive feat he managed to talk to Paul at all, let alone about this subject. Tavana says he wrote for several media outlets, so I guess he's credible with his credentials.
If i remember correctly, the rythm guitar in sftd is slash's and paul is playing only the solo overdubs
For years, I thought his nickname was "Huge", as in "very large" and I couldn't really work out why because he seemed to be of a pretty average height and build. It was only recently that I realised that it's pronounced "HyooGee" and now I'm not sure if I'm more or less confused because I've no idea what that even means.
4 minutes ago, Graeme said:
It's his real name; he was born Paul Huge. Then for some reason he changed it to Tobias, which was his mother's family name.
Man, I feel corrected now. I always thought that "huge" meant something else.

Russia moves to take control of huge oil and gas project

Russia moves to take control of Sakhalin-2 oil and gas project
Moscow July 1 2022: Russia has moved to take over a major oil and gas project in which Shell has a 27.5% stake.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on Thursday to take charge of the Sakhalin-2 project.
The move could force Shell and Japan's Mitsui and Mitsubishi to abandon their investments as the economic fallout of the Ukraine war spreads.
Oil giant Shell said: "We are aware of the decree and are assessing its implications."
The decree said a new firm would take over all rights and obligations of Sakhalin Energy Investment.
Shell said in February that it would to sell its Russian investments due to the conflict in Ukraine, including the flagship Sakhalin 2 facility in Russia's far east.
It said in April it would take a £3.8bn hit by leaving Russia.
The project, which supplies about 4% of the world's current liquefied natural gas (LNG) market, is 50% owned and operated by Gazprom.
According to the decree, Gazprom will keep its stake, but other shareholders must ask the Russian government for a stake in the new firm within one month.
The government will then decide whether to allow them to keep a stake.
Shell has been in talks with potential buyers for its stake in the project, including some from China and India, according to previous reports by The Daily Telegraph and Reuters.
The firm's chief executive Ben van Beurden said on Wednesday Shell was "making good progress" in its plan to exit the joint venture.
"I cannot tell you exactly where we are because it's a commercial process so I have to respect confidentiality, but I can tell you when I got an update last week, I was really pleased with where we are," he said.
This appears to be a deeply political move. The impact is likely to be felt most keenly in Japan, which has been heavily involved in sanctions against Russia.
Three foreign companies hold significant stakes in Sakhalin-2 - Shell, Mitsui and Mitsubishi.
But Shell has already written off the value of its Russian assets, and said it will exit the country.
Japan, meanwhile, is heavily reliant on imports of liquid natural gas.
Competition for shipments globally is currently intense - and the Sakhalin project alone currently meets about 8% of its needs.
So the prospect of Russia potentially appropriating Japanese interests in the project is certain to generate a queasy response in Tokyo - although ministers there insist it will not make imports "immediately impossible".
If Russian supplies to Japan are cut off, it will have to find new sources elsewhere - increasing competition for available supplies.
That could push up prices globally, at a time when rising energy costs are already fuelling inflation.
Japan measures
The five-page decree, which comes amid Western sanctions on Moscow over the invasion of Ukraine, says that it is up to the Kremlin to decide whether foreign shareholders should to remain in the consortium.
Japan has previously said it would not give up its interests in the Sakhalin-2 project, which is important for its energy security, even if asked to leave.
Shares in Mitsui and Mitsubishi fell 6% in trading on Friday on concerns about losses, with the broader Nikkei index dropping 1.9%.
A Mitsubishi spokesperson said the company was in discussions with its partners in Sakhalin Energy and the Japanese government about how to respond to Putin's decree.
Mitsui did not immediately respond to a request from the BBC for comment, but told Nikkei Asia it was "in the process of confirming the facts".
Mitsui has a 12.5% stake in the project and Mitsubishi 10%, while Shell holds 27.5%, minus one share. Russian gas giant Gazprom has 50%, plus one share.
Japan, South Korea and China are the main customers for oil and LNG exports, according to Shell.
Japanese deputy chief cabinet secretary Seiji Kihara said the country's government was examining the decree's contents and analysing Moscow's intentions.
"Generally speaking, our country's interests in resources should not be hurt," he told a regular news conference, declining to say whether Japan was in contact with Moscow over the matter.
Japanese industry minister Koichi Hagiuda said the government did not consider the decree a requisition.
"The decree does not mean that Japan's LNG imports will become immediately impossible, but it is necessary to take all possible measures in preparation for unforeseen circumstances," he said.
Gas squeeze
Saul Kavonic, head of Integrated Energy and Resources Research at Credit Suisse, said Russian LNG production from projects like Sakhalin-2 was likely to suffer over time as foreign expertise and parts became unavailable.
"This will tighten the LNG market materially this decade," he said.
Any increase in Russian government involvement will only make procurement from these projects more difficult for many buyers, he said.
Japan was urgently seeking alternative supply options, he added.

Why does blonde hair go brassy?
Blonde hair goes brassy when bleaching or lifting does not remove all of the underlying pigments in the hair. These underlying pigments that remain after coloring/lightening are yellow, orange, and red in color. As the cool pigments (toners or hair color) fade, the warm underlying pigments left behind after coloring become visible, causing a brassy appearance. Using a purple shampoo will deposit cool tones back in hair, counteracting the warm brassy tones, leaving the hair looking cooler and brighter.

Tiny robots powered by magnetic fields could help drug-delivery nanoparticles reach their targets
By: Anne Trafton | MIT News Office
MIT engineers have designed tiny robots that can help drug-delivery nanoparticles push their way out of the bloodstream and into a tumor or another disease site. Like crafts in "Fantastic Voyage" — a 1960s science fiction film in which a submarine crew shrinks in size and roams a body to repair damaged cells — the robots swim through the bloodstream, creating a current that drags nanoparticles along with them.
The magnetic microrobots, inspired by bacterial propulsion, could help to overcome one of the biggest obstacles to delivering drugs with nanoparticles: getting the particles to exit blood vessels and accumulate in the right place.
"When you put nanomaterials in the bloodstream and target them to diseased tissue, the biggest barrier to that kind of payload getting into the tissue is the lining of the blood vessel," says Sangeeta Bhatia, the John and Dorothy Wilson Professor of Health Sciences and Technology and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, a member of MIT's Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research and its Institute for Medical Engineering and Science, and the senior author of the study.
"Our idea was to see if you can use magnetism to create fluid forces that push nanoparticles into the tissue," adds Simone Schuerle, a former MIT postdoc and lead author of the paper, which appears in the April 26 issue of Science Advances.
In the same study, the researchers also showed that they could achieve a similar effect using swarms of living bacteria that are naturally magnetic. Each of these approaches could be suited for different types of drug delivery, the researchers say.
Schuerle, who is now an assistant professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich), first began working on tiny magnetic robots as a graduate student in Brad Nelson's Multiscale Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich. When she came to Bhatia's lab as a postdoc in 2014, she began investigating whether this kind of bot could help to make nanoparticle drug delivery more efficient.
In most cases, researchers target their nanoparticles to disease sites that are surrounded by "leaky" blood vessels, such as tumors. This makes it easier for the particles to get into the tissue, but the delivery process is still not as effective as it needs to be.
The MIT team decided to explore whether the forces generated by magnetic robots might offer a better way to push the particles out of the bloodstream and into the target site.
The robots that Schuerle used in this study are 35 hundredths of a millimeter long, similar in size to a single cell, and can be controlled by applying an external magnetic field. This bioinspired robot, which the researchers call an "artificial bacterial flagellum," consists of a tiny helix that resembles the flagella that many bacteria use to propel themselves. These robots are 3-D-printed with a high-resolution 3-D printer and then coated with nickel, which makes them magnetic.
To test a single robot's ability to control nearby nanoparticles, the researchers created a microfluidic system that mimics the blood vessels that surround tumors. The channel in their system, between 50 and 200 microns wide, is lined with a gel that has holes to simulate the broken blood vessels seen near tumors.
Using external magnets, the researchers applied magnetic fields to the robot, which makes the helix rotate and swim through the channel. Because fluid flows through the channel in the opposite direction, the robot remains stationary and creates a convection current, which pushes 200-nanometer polystyrene particles into the model tissue. These particles penetrated twice as far into the tissue as nanoparticles delivered without the aid of the magnetic robot.
This type of system could potentially be incorporated into stents, which are stationary and would be easy to target with an externally applied magnetic field. Such an approach could be useful for delivering drugs to help reduce inflammation at the site of the stent, Bhatia says.
Bacterial swarms
The researchers also developed a variant of this approach that relies on swarms of naturally magnetotactic bacteria instead of microrobots. Bhatia has previously developed bacteria that can be used to deliver cancer-fighting drugs and to diagnose cancer, exploiting bacteria's natural tendency to accumulate at disease sites.
For this study, the researchers used a type of bacteria called Magnetospirillum magneticum, which naturally produces chains of iron oxide. These magnetic particles, known as magnetosomes, help bacteria orient themselves and find their preferred environments.
The researchers discovered that when they put these bacteria into the microfluidic system and applied rotating magnetic fields in certain orientations, the bacteria began to rotate in synchrony and move in the same direction, pulling along any nanoparticles that were nearby. In this case, the researchers found that nanoparticles were pushed into the model tissue three times faster than when the nanoparticles were delivered without any magnetic assistance.
This bacterial approach could be better suited for drug delivery in situations such as a tumor, where the swarm, controlled externally without the need for visual feedback, could generate fluidic forces in vessels throughout the tumor.
The particles that the researchers used in this study are big enough to carry large payloads, including the components required for the CRISPR genome-editing system, Bhatia says. She now plans to collaborate with Schuerle to further develop both of these magnetic approaches for testing in animal models.
The research was funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, the Branco Weiss Fellowship, the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

A celebration of the spirit of giving as well as a gorgeous party, this night will be one to remember.
When the inaugural Givers Gala was imagined, it was with an understanding that United Way of St. Johns County should celebrate the strong spirit and history of giving in St. Johns County. Artifacts or personalities of the past are integral in the First Coast story, but equally important is our history of giving. Seeded in a tradition of generosity, this is a legacy that continues today. And it will continue now with the 2019 Givers Gala.
The 2019 Givers Gala will take place on Friday, January 25 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton on St. Augustine Beach. The event will begin at 6pm. This new and stunning seaside venue will play host to live music, delicious food, and a celebrity auctioneer. A luxurious night to remember, this gala will celebrate the givers of St. Johns County. A limited number of tickets to the event are still available at $175 per person. A few larger sponsorship opportunities are still available as well.
The proceeds from the event will support the mission of the United Way of St. Johns County. Serving St. Johns County for over 60 years, in the 2017-18 fiscal year, the local United Way documented $1.4 million in giving – including $621,000 granted to 26 partners for 36 ongoing programs during the traditional spring community impact process. Additional funding, grants, and sponsorships totaled nearly $78,000. Fundraising efforts led to collecting and distributing $323,000, designated for specific organizations, programs or needs, in our community. As for the need created by Hurricane Irma, $146,000 was pushed out in response. UW-SJC advocated for awards and grants and has been the fiscal agent for the Long-Term Recovery Organization for both Hurricane Matthew and Irma. This beautiful fundraising gala will support all these efforts and more.

(Published on the legacy Phish.net site many years ago...)
It was a pretty good show, including 4 new tunes. I can't remember the titles of the new tunes offhand, except for the last one that they did, a tribute to the theme from "All Things Considered." They played that along with "Big Black Furry Creatures From Mars" as an encore, a song that I had heard the title of but never had actually heard. Sorry, but I can't really rattle off a complete setlist for you, because 1) I've gone to 6 concerts in 7 days (Phish plus 5 Dead shows at the Boston Garden) and am having a little trouble remembering everything that I've heard, and 2) I currently have no live Phish tapes (although I'd be glad to trade Dead tapes for some...hint, hint) and all the Phish that I have is Junta and Lawn Boy, so there are a lot of tunes that I recognize but don't know the titles of.
Any way, I had a really good time at the show (as I usually do). I have some friends who saw them last night in Ithaca (State Theater), but I haven't heard from them yet about any details.
- Rich Fromm ------------------------------ [email protected] Subject: more on Keene, Ithaca too
Oh yeah, how could I forget?
During a couple of songs in the second set at Keene, Phish had a trumpet player on stage with them. I assume this is one of the guys from the Horns. It really added to the music. I'd like to see them do some more touring with the Horns. Summer tour was fantastic.

MILITARY DEPLOYMENT MAY RAISE RISK OF PARKINSON DISEASE
For Your Patients
The Science Explained
MIAMI BEACH—Men who were deployed during either World War II or the Vietnam War appear to be at increased risk of Parkinson disease (PD), a case-control study suggests.
In the study of 659 men aged 32 to 95 years, men who were deployed to World War II were twice as likely to develop PD, compared with those who did not serve, said Lorene Nelson, PhD, Associate Professor and Chief of the Division of Epidemiology in the Department of Health Research and Policy at Stanford University School of Medicine.
However, men who served at the time of World War II but were not deployed faced no increase in risk, Dr. Nelson reported here in April at the AAN Annual Meeting. Similarly, the risk of Parkinson disease was more than double among men who were deployed during the Vietnam War, but not among men who served at the time but were not deployed, she said.
Service during the Korean conflict, regardless of whether a man or a woman was deployed, was not associated with an increased risk of PD, she added. Overall, men who were deployed to one or more wars were 80 percent more likely to develop PD than those who never served, the study showed.
PART OF EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDY
The case-control study is the first to examine the association of military deployment during US wars with the risk of developing Parkinson disease. It was part of a larger epidemiologic study the researchers conducted within the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program of Northern California to identify environmental and genetic risk factors for the disorder.
Many researchers have hypothesized that exposure to environmental chemicals, particularly pesticides, may increase the risk of developing PD, Dr. Nelson said. Also, in the last few years, studies have shown that the risk of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is higher among veterans of the first Persian Gulf War and among men who have served in the military in general than among people who did not serve, she said.
The new study included 300 men from the population who were newly diagnosed with PD during 1994 and 1995 and 359 men without Parkinson disease who were closely matched by age, race, and educational level.
In a case-control study of 659 men aged 32 to 95 years, men who were deployed to World War II were twice as likely to develop Parkinson disease compared with those who did not serve.
The frequency of military service was similar for men with PD and those without the disease – about two-thirds of each group.
Thirty-one percent of the men with PD had been deployed in one of the three wars versus 21 percent of controls.
There was a significant 2.1-fold increased risk of PD among men who were deployed to World War II – 29 percent of men with PD had been deployed during World War II, compared with 19 percent of controls.
Five percent of men with PD had served in Vietnam versus 2 percent of controls. This translated to a 2.4-fold increased risk, although the finding was of borderline statistical significance due to the small numbers of men in the age group that had served in the Vietnam War, Dr. Nelson said.
Ten percent of men with PD had been deployed to Korea versus 8 percent of controls, a non-significant difference.
The design of the study precludes making conclusions about the factors associated with deployment that increase the risk of Parkinson disease, Dr. Nelson stressed.
EXPLAINING THE ASSOCIATED RISK
One possibility is that vaccinations, infectious agents, or other shared exposures are to blame, she said. "The fact that men deployed to either World War II or the Vietnam War were at increased risk for PD suggests that the risk of PD may be related to aspects of deployment other than a specific chemical exposure that was unique to one war or the other," she told Neurology Today.
On the other hand, multiple factors could be at play, "with the herbicide Agent Orange responsible for the excess of cases seen in Vietnam, for example, and something else associated with the excess risk in World War II," Dr. Nelson said.
Several studies have linked pesticide exposure to PD, she noted, but none specifically studied Agent Orange in this context. "We're just now beginning to develop contacts with industrial hygienists in the military and other experts knowledgeable about exposures," she added. "There's a lot to learn."
MORE STUDY NEEDED
Dr. Nelson called for future studies to confirm the findings and to investigate the deployment-related factors that may be responsible for an increased risk of PD among those who have served in US military conflicts.
"It will be many years before those who served in the Persian Gulf Wars are old enough to develop Parkinson disease, but the cohort of men who served in Vietnam will soon be aging into the period of greatest risk for developing PD, and studies to identify war-related exposures in this group are warranted," she added.
The studies are methodologically challenging, however, due to the host of physical and psychological stressors associated with war exposure, including endemic infectious diseases, medical countermeasures such as vaccines, contaminated food or water, and chemical exposures such as organophosphate nerve agents, she said.
Nevertheless, Dr. Nelson's group is nearing completion of one such study – focusing on earlier-onset PD developing at or before age 60 years. "This will help us, especially in age groups that could have been deployed in Korea or Vietnam," she said.
'A GOOD STEP'
Eugene C. Lai, MD, PhD, Professor of Neurology at Baylor College of Medicine and Director of the Parkinson's Disease Research, Education, and Clinical Center at the Houston Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center, said that the current analysis is a good step toward finding out more about the possible association between wartime exposures and PD.
Dr. Lai said that he and other VA investigators have formed a collaborative group to perform the first large-scale study to investigate combat deployment and Parkinson disease.
"The VA system follows about 43,000 patients diagnosed with Parkinson disease a year, so we're interested in this question," he said. As part of the study, which will include individuals who served in the military at the time of the Vietnam and Korean wars, "people will be asked direct questions about where they were deployed and whether they were exposed to anything they know of," he said. "Then we will use information provided by the military about where certain chemicals were used and try to co-relate all that to deployment."
"Now that we know more, we can really zoom in on some environmental conditions and see if they raise that risk," Dr. Lai told Neurology Today. Among the exposures that will likely be investigated are fumes from petroleum products, the pesticide rotenone, Agent Orange, and radiation.

CNN: Green slime oozes into Florida's primary elections
posted by Everglades Trust | 1sc
CNN: Written by Jennifer Gray. August 28, 2018.
Cape Coral, Florida (CNN) Usually, politics and slime go hand-in-hand. "Sliming" a political opponent is well-worn tradition, after all.
But in this midterm election season in South Florida, it's the slime itself that's driving people to the polls.
Green slime oozing from Lake Okeechobee is polluting Florida's pristine waterways that flow east and west from the lake and eventually south into the bays and oceans.
This disaster has caused a dramatic decline in the economy.
It's the topic of conversation around here. Campaigns are going heavy on the environment. Television ads are focused on the algae and billboards now line the roads.
Some voters say they've had enough and they want their voices heard in a big way.

Klapstein (left) and Johnston cut through chains to get access to Enbridge pipelines near Leonard, Minnesota.
Seattle-area activists Emily Johnston and Annette Klapstein went to Minnesota in 2016 to shut down oil pipelines. Two years later, their trial begins.
Klapstein, a retired lawyer from Bainbridge Island, worries she won't be back after her trial.
But Klapstein said white people and older people like herself have an obligation to take these risks.
"What better thing to do with your retirement than attempt to salvage a habitable world for your children and grandchildren — I can't think of anything better," she said.
Emily Johnston said the long wait for trial has been punctuated by moments of alarm, as when members of Congress asked the U.S. Department of Justice to treat her like a domestic terrorist.
Federal charges never came. Instead the two women face felony charges under Minnesota state law. They plan to tell jurors that civil disobedience is the only possible response to government inaction on climate change. The so-called necessity defense "is a plea that, yes technically we committed a crime, but we did it to prevent a greater harm," Klapstein said.
They hope the Minnesota trial — and a children's lawsuit that goes to trial later this month in Oregon — could create new momentum to address climate impacts.
Annette Klapstein of Seattle cuts a chain on an Enbridge oil pipeline in Minnesota in October 2016.
Activists in other states have not been allowed to make climate change the central issue in their trials. Michael Foster shut down a pipeline on that day in 2016, but his trial took place in North Dakota.
"My judge said, 'This is a trial about trespass, this is not about climate. I am not going to confuse the jurors with climate science information,'" Foster said.
The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce wanted Minnesota courts to follow North Dakota's example.
Craig Stevens, of the business and labor group Grow America's Infrastructure Now, said his group didn't oppose the necessity defense. But he said he doesn't believe it would be persuasive. "I can't imagine that it would be a broadly accepted defense simply because of the benefits of fossil fuels," he said.
"These are people who are breaking the law, they are trespassing and a lot of what they're doing is a danger not only to the public but also to themselves," Stevens said.
Emily Johnston said the pipelines' emergency shutoff valves are meant to be used by firefighters and other non-professionals, but she did lose sleep over the possibility of causing environmental harm.
"I did not think the action itself was in any way unsafe, but I do not trust the maintenance of these companies," she said. In the end Johnston and Klapstein cut through chains to gain access, but didn't shut off the pipelines themselves. The owner Enbridge did it remotely after a warning call from their group.
Even as oil companies signal support for certain carbon-pricing schemes, several states are increasing penalties for pipeline protesters. "More and more we're seeing an appetite for legislation that would tamp down, I think, knock down the temperature of some of these protests," Stevens said.
Michael Foster was the only "valve turner" to be sentenced to prison so far. He was sentenced to one year, but ultimately served six months in state prison in North Dakota for trespassing and felony criminal mischief.
Foster said the best part about serving his sentence was being offline.
"I read 65 books in prison," he said. "I didn't read that many books in college!" He said the social scene was challenging, though. Both prisoners and staff were baffled by his crime – and that he waited for arrest. "They almost, to a person, thought climate change was a hoax," he said.
Foster was released from prison on August 1. He took a bus back to the Greyhound station in Seattle where his friends met him and took him out to eat. "There's a Denny's down there and the waitress said she'd never served so many veggie burgers," he said.
Foster has lived with housemates in Wallingford since, riding his bike and abiding by the terms of his parole. He recently took part in a protest at Seattle's cruise ship terminal but didn't lock himself down. "I was wearing a Carnival polo and ballcap and handing out sno-cones made from the last glaciers," he said.
Todd Myers with the Seattle-based Washington Policy Center, a free-market think tank, said he's not surprised that the activists come from the Pacific Northwest. "We have a history of radicalism and I think, unfortunately, an emphasis on the symbolic around here," he said.
Shutting down the pipelines was just that — symbolic, he said, not effective policy.
Foster agrees on that last point. No trips to Hawaii, for example.
And as tempting as it is to recoil from reports of drought, floods and wildfires, "This is not an asteroid hurtling towards the planet," Foster said. The causes and solutions lie with people.

Shake that booty in those booties!
We love ankle boots… or better known as Booties. It took us a minute to figure out the best way to wear them when they first came on the scene, but we've mastered the trend and we are happy to see Booties are here to stay (at least for now!) So, in this post, we're going to share with you some ways to style one of the most essential and stylish accessories of the season while working and playing.
Lately, the Michael's girls have been drooling over all the booties we have got in store. And why not?! The outfit opportunities with booties are endless which means that it can instantly make any outfit fun and super cute. Whether you like a classic black or brown, or some quirky embellishments, or sky-high heels- booties are versatile and one of our favorite accessories to style.
- A little black sweater dress is perfect for the cold weather season. It can be dressed up or down. Look for a short to medium length dress and flaunt those legs while still being warm in sheer tights!
- A dressy and feminine vest is a fun way to dress up your outfit, break up the black and add some color. Black can often become boring during the fall/winter, so remember to always add a pop to your style.
- Look for a pair in a dark wine color, which is a more interesting alternative to black and brown, and is neutral enough to pair well, with just about any color. Colors such as oxblood and burgundy also work well as neutrals.
- Find your favorite girly skirt and throw on a casual black jacket. This will make sure you remain warm while being super cute!
- Pairing booties with a girly skirt adds another dimension to a feminine outfit. The combination of leather booties with a feminine skirt makes for a dramatic and fun contrast!

Sertraline is licensed to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and other conditions. As a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, the medication works by affecting certain chemicals within the brain. It is sold under the brand name Zoloft and is also available in generic form. Common side effects of sertraline include insomnia, nausea, and diarrhea.
Sertraline hydrochloride (Zoloft®) is a prescription medication used to treat a number of conditions within the brain.
Zoloft is manufactured by Pfizer. Several companies manufacture generic sertraline.
What Is Sertraline Used For?
Social anxiety disorder (social phobia).
Sertraline is part of a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs for short. SSRIs act on a specific chemical within the brain known as serotonin. Serotonin is one of several chemicals used to send messages from one nerve cell to another.
As a message travels down a nerve, it causes the end of the cell to release serotonin. The serotonin enters the gap between the first nerve cell and the one next to it. When enough reaches the second nerve cell, it activates receptors on the cell and the message continues on its way. The first cell then quickly absorbs any serotonin that remains in the gap between cells. This is called "reuptake."
Normally, this process works without any problems. But when the levels of serotonin become unbalanced, it can cause a variety of conditions, including depression and panic disorder. Sertraline helps to block the reuptake of serotonin so that more remains in the space between the brain's nerve cells. This gives the serotonin a better chance of activating the receptors on the next nerve cell.

TU suffers two losses
October 9, 2017 Towerlight News
By: Jill Gattens, Staff Writer
Featured image by Mark Dragon / The Towerlight
Towson fell 3-0 to nonconference opponent Virginia Commonwealth Sunday afternoon at Johnny Unitas Stadium on senior day.
The Rams (9-4) controlled the pace of the game early. Spencer Tossone beat Tigers' (1-13) senior goalkeeper Emilee Woodall five minutes into the game to take a 1-0 advantage.
"We could've done a better job of focusing on the details," Head Coach E.A. Jackson said. "We didn't take care of the ball, and we created a lot of turnovers."
At the 12:05 mark, Tossone registered her second goal of the afternoon to give VCU a 2-0 lead. Four minutes after Tossone's second goal, the team scored again to take a 3-0 lead at the half.
In the second half, Towson's defense kept VCU scoreless. However, TU was unable to find the back of the cage and dropped its fourth straight game.
On Friday, Towson fell 3-1 to Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) opponent and the 18th ranked William & Mary Tribe at Johnny Unitas Stadium.
The Tribe (9-4, 3-0 CAA) took an early 1-0 lead just 7:34 into the contest on a shot from the top of the circle that was redirected into the back of the cage.
William & Mary continued to pressure the Towson defense, registering seven shots and three penalty corners. However, Towson held them to just one goal in the first half.
In the 40th minute of the contest, junior midfielder Katie McNeel netted the equalizer with a direct shot off a penalty corner from the top of the circle.
"Our players continue to show tremendous improvement every game and they fought hard for the whole duration of the game," Jackson said. "We're not putting as many goals as I would like, but we're creating attacking situations."
Following McNeel's goal, William & Mary answered nine minutes later with a goal off a rebound after an initial save from Woodall.
The Tigers pressured the Tribe's defense with back-to-back shots, but could not convert on the opportunity. The Tribe added an insurance goal late in the game to ensure a 3-1 victory over the Tigers.
Towson heads on the road for its next three games. The team will travel to Philadelphia to face Drexel, Delaware and LaSalle before returning home on Oct.29.

IBIS shares news, insight and best practices about pressing Diversity & Inclusion and Unconscious Bias topics in today's workplace.
But I'm Not the Problem…
I recently overheard a statement that made me pause: "Men have it a lot harder in society than women do."
Any room full of people will have a reaction to hearing that, but we happened to be in a workshop on sexual harassment. The room was so crowded with students and faculty that the only available seat I had was on a windowsill.
Midway through the workshop, the presenter asked if anyone was feeling uncomfortable. A man raised his hand. "I feel like society has painted a view of men as perpetrators. I would never sexually harass a woman, so why am I being personally blamed?"
Pause. Just a quick reminder that men can also be victims and sexual harassment is not about sex, but about power. Right, carrying on.
The question he asked comes up repeatedly. It comes up in discussions in the news, in the classroom, in conversations with my friends. Sometimes the context is race, or gender, or sexuality, but it's always along the lines of: But I'm not the problem, so why am I being blamed?
And really, is it that ridiculous of a question? If you don't feel like you've done anything wrong, is it so strange to question why you're being made to feel guilty?
So, there I was, perched on a windowsill barely visible to the majority of attendees, opting to respond to this man, and frankly, to all of the other individuals in the room. And now, I'm sharing my response and reflection with you.
It's easy to be on the defense when these sensitive subjects arise; I get it. It's easy to throw your hands up and shout to the heavens that you aren't racist or sexist or all the others "ists" out there. But we all have to realize that our mental models form our lens to the world.
Yes, YOU would never intentionally do something to hurt someone or put someone at a disadvantage, and that's great!
But – (and you knew there was a 'but' coming) just because we would never intentionally do something to hurt another individual doesn't mean we're immune to the unconscious biases that everyone exhibits and acts upon. It is our responsibility as community members to consider the systemic barriers in place that stack the odds against marginalized communities and attach privilege to the majority demographic.
Unfortunately, our defensiveness on these issues leads us to forget that it's not always about us and our need to justify our own actions, but rather, the collective output from individuals and the system in which we operate.
Still with me?
So, what can we do besides shouting to the heavens that we aren't a terrible person? Rather than saying, "I would never do that," I propose it would be more productive to say, "I recognize my role in this and how my gender, race, sexuality, etc. has historically contributed to this problem, and now I get to choose how I show up and participate."
We get a choice in how we show up, we get to change the dynamic and play a role in the progress. Rather than opting out because we don't think we are part of the problem, we can instead opt in and be part of the solution.
We can simply say, "I hear you, I'm listening."
I'm still working on how to get it all just right.
I'll admit that the later breakout session following the workshop, when this man and I were grouped together, was challenging for me.
I may have shaken my head at him and rolled my eyes when he professed the only reason women don't advance in their careers is because we all choose to have families instead, among other lofty generalizations. But surprisingly, we somehow kept the conversation going, we somehow were able to have a genuine laugh here and there, and at the very least, we both planted a seed to think critically about our conversation.
The truth of the matter is, he showed up to the workshop to learn and ready to listen. He was present and engaged and willing to voice his opinion. We can all recognize that the "everyone thinks like me" belief system doesn't really work, but it takes time to arrive there emotionally.
If we shut people down, without meeting them where they are, they aren't going to be interested in being brought into our corner. And when it comes to sexual harassment, we do need men on board to make social progress.
We need to actively engage with dissenting voices, especially when they say, "…but not all men."
Call In, Don't Call Out
In a divisive time, people must be called in, not called out. Each person who opts in and chooses to participate, positively, has a chance to be a catalyst for change. By focusing on the issue rather than our need to prove our innocence, we can make this world a better, more inclusive place.
It's a grassroots effort, folks.
So, how will you show up?

During horsegate six years ago, cheap horsemeat ended up in ready-made meals sold as 'pure beef' across Europe. Four defendants – two former managers of the French company for processed meat Spanghero and two meat traders from the Netherlands – now face jail and heavy fines for selling horsemeat as beef.
However, despite a spate of reforms since then, designed to prevent such food frauds recurring, experts are still questioning their effectiveness.
Speaking to GlobalMeatNews, European Livestock and Meat Trades Union (UECBV) secretary general Jean Luc Mériaux said that while the affair "was not a food safety issue but rather a fraudulent labelling one and an isolated case, it damaged consumers' trust in the food chain [and] in the competency of authorities". Sales of frozen meat-based ready-meals dropped as a result, he noted, with a spokesperson for European consumer association BEUC (Bureau Européen des Unions de Consommateurs) noting that the scandal sparked the closure of several meat production lines.
Moreover, it has made consumers warier, as well as keener to demand origin information, according to a study by the federation of French meat companies, Culture Viande. This organisation has shown that faith in the declared origin of a product is a "decisive factor" for 79% of French consumers when they choose meat to purchase.
This understanding has caused the European Commission to strengthen European Union (EU) meat origin controls, such as insisting on spot checks, reinforcing checks on horsemeat (see https://ec.europa.eu/food/safety/official_controls/food_fraud/horse_meat/timeline_en) and establishing an EU Food Fraud Network (FFN) of regulators. Mériaux said these changes had an impact: EU meat processors and manufacturers have boosted the responsibility of each link in their supply chains to check the origin of meats; upstream product audits have become more comprehensive; documentation has been improved; physical checks on raw materials during delivery have been boosted; and random laboratory tests are now more common, the UECBV's chief also noted.
The BEUC official agreed that EU food controls had been tightened since 'horsegate' and that the new systems would ensure that food fraudsters were caught and punished, deterring food businesses from cutting corners. However, the BEUC still believes EU regulations could be reformed further by ensuring processed foods' labels have more comprehensive origin information.

Listen: Previously Unreleased Prince Track "Cosmic Day"
Photo Credit: Paisley Park
The previously unreleased track from Prince is making for heated debate online from long-time Prince fans.
The Prince Estate late last week took to social media to unveil a song and lyrics of a previously unreleased Prince track "Cosmic Day."
"'Cosmic Day' was recorded on November 15, 1986 at Sunset Sound," the Estate said on Facebook, "and is one of the most revered recordings from the forthcoming reissue of Sign O' The Times. The track finds Prince at his most psychedelic, channeling his 'Camille' voice throughout."
"Camille" was Prince's female alter-ego and the the name of a project set for release in 1987. According to Prince Vault, the album featured Prince "in disguise" as Camille on vocals and all instruments.
On Instagram, the Estate also shared a photo of hand-written lyrics to the song "Cosmic Day."
The song, which is available to listen to now, has created quite a stir on social media, some some long-time fans enjoying it and others not.
"I love Prince but I think Cosmic Day is awful," shared Angela Worthington on Facebook. "Just freakin awful! That horrible mechanical sounding drumbeat and the altered voice. Ugh. I adore him anyway. Every so often he did create some stinkers."
"I agree!" affirmed Connie Keller. "He did have a handful of 'stinkers' but his countless gems make up for it."
"It is what it is," noted Christopher Adams, "a song that didn't get released."
"Some fans hate it, others love it," said Michael Clouds. "I adore this song. This is up there with In A Large Room With No Light and Crystal Ball for me. You couldn't stop this man 80-87 and 85-86 had to have been his creative peak. Wow."
Give the song a listen and decide what you think for yourself below:
The new Sign O' The Times expanded reissue will be available September 25 on all physical, digital, and streaming partners.

Hello, is the pool heated?
I didn't use the pool, but my experience with hotel pools has been that they are all heated, without exception. I would give 10 to 1 odds that this pool is heated.
Unfortunetely we are no longer pet friendly except for service animals only. Thank you.
Thank you for reaching out to us. As of last year with our recent room refresh, the decision was made to no longer allow pets here at the Holiday Inn Express San Luis Obispo. Just a short drive away in Pismo Beach, we have a newly renovated property, Cottage Inn By The Sea, that is beautiful, ocean front, and does allow pets. Please reach out to them. Thank you.

Signs of the times
By Libby Skidmore
WE SEE so many signs along the roadsides as we travel. Many are quite useful and some are obvious but some make you think! But do you know where the first road sign in Victoria was placed?
Captain John Murray in command of the "Lady Nelson" sailed into Western Port in December 1801. He anchored near Churchill Island and hurried to the gardens that had been planted six months before.
He wrote that the growth of the corn and wheat was quite remarkable and a bushel was harvested for three pairs of captured swans. He expected to see indications of the developing seal industry at Western Port but there were no signs of further habitation.
While they were anchored at Elizabeth Cove (near the present site of Ventnor) two soldiers made the exciting discovery of a new source of water thereby overcoming the drudgery of negotiating the narrow channels and mudflats to the Freshwater Creek at Bass. They had discovered a series of springs. Murray was enthusiastic about the water and wood supplies of the cove but he described the trees as "very small and invariable decayed" and believed the area "would poorly pay a settler".
With haste the party levelled a pathway to roll the water butts from the spring which was not 50 metres from the seaside. Victoria's first road sign was erected there on December 19, 1801! Murray wrote in his journal: "I got a large board hung up at the entrance of the road to fresh well or spring on which was painted in oil colours directions for any stranger how to get to the watering place".
Meanwhile they feasted on the bounty found in this new place. Nine large swans of 8 or 9 pounds each, lots of fish, large quantities of oysters, mussels and other shell fish. The New Year "was ushered in by splicing the main brace and three cheers".
From the archives of the Bass Valley Historical Society. This essay was first published in the Waterline News.

Colgate is terrible. They are 1-11. The Adonal Foyle years are long gone. Unfortunately, this game won't provide much of a tune up for Duke this weekend.
The only thing to watch for the player rotation that Gary Williams employs. I wouldn't expect more than 8 guys to play against Duke so the first 8 in tonight will likely be playing Cameron.
On of the items that emerged as problematic with the Leach interview was his unwillingness to drop his ESPN lawsuit and that was a problem because the University views ESPN as a "partner". Let me just say that this is ridiculous. ESPN is a business. They will put on games that will get the best the ratings regardless of their feeling about the school's football coach. That is how ESPN maximizes profits for Disney shareholders. To claim that the lawsuits were a factor is just spurious.

Anatomy of a Parallel Computing System
By Thomas Gross and David R. O'Hallaron
This book describes the complete iWarp system, from instruction-level parallelism to final parallel applications. The authors present a range of issues that must be considered to get a real system into practice.
There is no doubt that iWarp was an important research effort. This work is significant as an archival record of the innovative research undertaken in the iWarp project. This book will be useful to the designers of hardware and software for parallel computers, project engineers, and project managers in industry, as well as faculty and graduate students in academia.
Assistant Professor of Computer Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
foreword by Gordon Bell and afterword by H.T. Kung Although researchers have proposed many mechanisms and theories for parallel systems, only a few have actually resulted in working computing platforms. The iWarp is an experimental parallel system that was designed and built jointly by Carnegie Mellon University and Intel Corporation. The system is based on the idea of integrating a VLIW processor and a sophisticated fine-grained communication system on a single chip. This book describes the complete iWarp system, from instruction-level parallelism to final parallel applications. The authors present a range of issues that must be considered to get a real system into practice. They also provide a start-to-finish history of the project, including what was done right and what was done wrong, that will be of interest to anyone who studies or builds computer systems.
