Nonlinear Excitations in Bose-Einstein Condensates
Ultracold atomic gases in the condensed phase represent macrosopic quantum states of many-body systems that can be described theoretically on a mean-field level by the so-called Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The latter extends the nonlinear Schroedinger equation thereby including mesoscopic environments such as traps. Our focus in these systems are nonlinear excitations. For quasi one dimensional systems the lowest excited states are solitonic states.
Solitons occur in various systems with nonlinear interaction such as in water waves, in fiber optics or in magnets. They have got amazing properties. Solitons are localized. While propagating they do not change their shapes. They can interact with each other and emerge from the collision unchanged except for a phase shift. We use ultracold atomic gases to model various setups in order to improve the understanding of the behavior of solitons. We develop simple models describing solitons, their mutual interaction and their interaction with the environment.
The two dimensional equivalent of a soliton is a vortex. The most famous vortex in nature is probably the tornado. However vortices occur in many different systems. We investigate vortices and their properties in cold atomic gases and develop models to describe the interaction of vortices in different surroundings. One of the most astonishing attributes of cold atoms is that one can tune the interaction between the atoms via so-called Feshbach resonances. It is even possible to prepare systems with spatially varying collisional interaction. We investigate effects of a spatially dependent interaction on the ground state of a Bose-Einstein Condensate and on excited states.
This work is done in close collaboration with other theoretical groups (D. Frantzeskakis, Athens, and P. Kevrekidis, Amherst).

Starting Five: Rilo Kiley
by Chad Jewett
More or less an opportunity for the Internet to tell us we're wrong, Starting Five is also a challenge: choose five essential songs, films, or books that get to the heart of bands, filmmakers, and writers that we love. Today, in honor of the 10th Anniversary of their classic More Adventurous, we look at five essential songs from indie-pop greats Rilo Kiley
"Pictures of Success", Takeoffs and Landings
"I'm a modern girl, but I fold in half so easily when I put myself in the picture of success." With that single sentence, Jenny Lewis established the opening parameters of what would be a four-album compendium of Rilo Kiley's agreeably sad, amiably honest self-mythologizing. As tortuously high-concept and richly high-fidelity as the Los Angeles quartet would grow, the band's plucky, self-deprecating flare for introspection would remain, as would their taste for making failure, sadness, and ennui sound oddly beautiful, like a late summer day after cancelled plans. More shimmering and minimal than the broader work to come, "Pictures of Success" from Rilo Kiley's debut LP, Takeoffs and Landings was the closest the band would hew to the earth-toned midwestern emo that always shaded the margins of their sound (especially considering the horn parts that punctuate the song's spindling guitars). But most memorable is the song's charming bit of world-building and the interplay of Jenny Lewis's wry, world-weary humor and Blake Sennett's reedy, expressive guitar. "Pictures of Success" ends with a big bang ("Ready to goooooooo"), but it also arrived as one.
"So Long", The Execution Of All Things
A quiet, unassuming passage of storytelling amongst the raised stakes and emotional crises of the band's first masterpiece, The Execution Of All Things, "So Long" arrived as Blake Sennett's version of the star-making turn that Jenny Lewis created in "Pictures of Success." Romantic and forlorn where Lewis's songs were more commonly realist and bittersweet, atmospheric and sun-faded where the rest of Execution is built to burst in indie-pop high drama, "So Long" manages to serve as a highlight on a just-about perfect album by pausing to take in the scenery. Buoyant and lighthearted in its sadness, and sweetened with fizzing keyboards and airy production from Mike Mogis, the song manages the sort of cheerful glumness that had turned Takeoffs and Landings into an indie classic, while exemplifying the deepened craft and more mature storytelling that made The Execution Of All Things even better.
"Spectacular Views", The Execution Of All Things
So clearly a prototype for the confessional, sylvan pop-punk of "Portions for Foxes" that certain live recordings carry early ideas for the song in ad-libbed jams, "Spectacular Views" now plays like that later hit's more wild, summery younger brother. Built around a Superchunk-esque, ultra-minimal riff via Sennett (which see-saws beautifully with Lewis's similarly compact electric piano lick in high-pop exactness) and one of Jenny Lewis's finest, most poignant melodies, "Spectacular Views" typified the bruised romanticism and ecstatic fading youth of The Execution Of All Things by plunging into those ideas with reckless abandon. Matching gorgeous images of the Oceanside (spectacular views indeed) to notions of fading love and conflicted memories ("In steep cliffs, rocks all piled up / Mysteries of your passing luck / Ages pass, shells and bits of bone forming new limestone / To give things their turn"), the rousing finale of The Execution Of All Things closes with a conversation between a short, scrappy from Sennett and a last bit of wistfulness for Lewis – the tour de force of their partnership.
"Portions for Foxes" / "It's A Hit", More Adventurous
While technically a cheat to declare a tie in a list of five essential songs, Portions for Foxes" and "It's A Hit" are so wholly complimentary and mirror-imaged in their evocation of the pop-shaped narrative craftsmanship of More Adventurous that they're almost impossible to split up. Where The Execution Of All Things took a novel's worth of troubled pasts, hurt feelings, and lost loves and expanded the whole thing to bursting, More Adventurous returned to those ideas again, this time with Motown-level economy. Pivoting between various stories of hypocrisy, self-doubt, and human failure, all in the shape of an alt-country symphony punctuated with Stax horns and keening pedal-steel guitar, "It's A Hit" begins the album like a mission statement, a clear enunciation of Rilo Kiley's further-perfected gift for fitting novels into radio hits. "Portions for Foxes" works in the opposite direction, taking the archetypal familiarities of a dysfunctional relationship and zooming in, all while managing a hook-heavy synthesis of The Replacements, Nada Surf, and Lucinda Williams, Saddle Creek's bucolic indie rock energized by the spiky punk-pop of Merge Records.
"A Man/Me/Then Jim", More Adventurous
A magnum opus exploration of broken hearts and struggles with the perennial barbs of memory, "A Man/Me/Then Jim" served as the penultimate song for More Adventurous and the band's last great statement of purpose. Using a modernist blurring of timelines and clever parallel stories to offer three differing takes on "the slow fade of love," "A Man/Me/Then Jim" (so titled for the three subjects of the song's shifting, multifaceted story) was the album's quietest, most resigned span of affecting nostalgia. Looking back, one can hear a triptych of Rilo Kiley's growth, from the song's early, minimalist first verse, through the expressive indie-country grace notes of its middle, to a magisterial closing Wall of Sound, Lewis's refrain about fading love mixing with the deft, compact groove of Jason Boesel and Pierre de Reeder, and the silvery slide guitar and curling acoustic melodies of Blake Sennett, all haloed by one of Mike Mogis's most sweeping, poignant orchestral productions, a symphony of organs, horns, strings, and pedal steel. Fittingly, Rilo Kiley crafted their masterpiece for a narrative about our fitful relationship with the past and the heartbreaking trouble of saying goodbye.

Horrifying Video Shows Girl, 8, Abducted As Frantic Mom Screams In Street
Video shows the frightening moment when a mother desperately attempts to save her daughter from a drive by abductor.
The video shows 8-year-old Salem Sabatka being pulled into a car and her mother jumping in after her to save her.
But the kidnapper shoved the mother out of the car and then drove off with the girl as the mother screamed and ran frantically in the street.
Thank God the 8-year-old was found hours later safe and sound, but in the hotel room of a 51-year-old man who has been arrested, The Daily Mail reported.
An Amber Alert was issued for Salem, who is 4'5″, shortly after her abduction, describing the suspect as a 'light skinned black male of skinny build' and the car as a dark gray four-door sedan with alloy wheels.
The alert included a photo of Salem wearing the same shirt she had on when she was taken.
Two citizens reported seeing a car that matched the Amber Alert description in the parking lot of the WoodSprings Suites hotel in Forest Hill and contacted authorities.
Officers dispatched to the hotel determined which room the suspect was staying in and breached the door.
Salem was reportedly found in good condition but was taken to a local hospital to be checked out, Officer Buddy Calzada said at the press conference early Sunday.
Police have not released the name of the suspect but said he is a 51-year-old male who is not related to Salem.

Our History
Mast Roof and Coatings Company LLC, owned and operated by brothers, Arnold and Milford Mast has its roots in a long history of family run construction companies. Father, Ken Mast has been in the construction trade for most of his life, building a successful vinyl siding business in central Pennsylvania before relocating to the beautiful Finger Lakes Region of New York State. In the late 90s Ken was joined by his sons Milford and Arnold, and later, son-in-law Russell in what was then Mast Restoration. "We found ourselves building decks, porches, small additions, remodeling, and residential roofing… pretty much whatever people needed" said Ken. Seeing an opportunity to build a larger, more specialized company, in 2010, the Mast family decided to refocus their efforts into the commercial flat roofing market and Mast Roof and Coatings Co. LLC was born.
In 2015 Ken and Russell left the company to pursue other interests. Brothers Arnold and Milford continue to lead the company forward with a strong vision for the future. "The opportunity is huge" says Milford, "We are excited to continue to provide our customers with quality products for their roofs installed in a safe, professional manner by our factory trained and certified crew".
Our Foundation and Business Philosophy
At Mast Roof and Coatings Company we believe that the values that some would call 'Old Fashioned' are essential both in family and in business. These are the values that we are committed to:
- Relationships: We are committed to building quality long term relationships with our customers by finding the best solution for your situation at a competitive price.
- Integrity: We are committed to the highest quality standards of every detail of each roof that we install.
- The Golden Rule: All of our values can be summed up in the golden rule, treat others as you want to be treated. We always do our best to treat people with the same respect with which we want to be treated.

We are now starting to see more of the notable Black Friday Beats headphones deals go live at Walmart. The Beats urBeats Earphones are now live at $49.99 shipped in black and space grey. While still listed at $100 on Best Buy they are available for $50 at Target for REDcard holders right now. We are yet to see any price matching on Amazon.
As for the Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones they are now down at $199.99 in several colors at Walmart while only some options are matched at Amazon like black and white. However, Walmart does have some of the Neighborhood Collection colors down at $199.99 as well.
Still $160 as part of the Apple Store sale, Amazon is now offering the Powerbeats3 Wireless Earphones in most colors (including Neighborhood Collection) for just $124.99 shipped. That easily beats the best advertised Black Friday price and is the lowest around. Some colors are matched at Walmart and Best Buy.
The BeatsX Wireless In-Ear Headphones are now also down at $99.99 at Amazon and Walmart.
You can get more info on Black Friday Beats deals right here. We will update this post further as other retailer begin to launch Beats deals and price matches.

Welcome to The Adobe Blog
New and improved, The Adobe Blog will feature great content focused on creativity, marketing innovation and forward-thinking industry ideas.
by Matt Rozen
posted on 11-16-2017
When you hear the word blog, you might think of an online diary of sorts, in which a person can rant, rave, and share random musings.
Blogs are good for that, no doubt, but they also have the power to be a lot more.
We've been blogging at Adobe since the early 2000s. The goal was to help creatives and business leaders like you build your careers and businesses by sharing our take on industry trends, brand successes, and technology insights. You've grown, Adobe has grown, and our blogs have grown. In fact, just last month we had 150 distinct blogs.
The content on those blogs was housed on pages that looked different, had various voices, and told some pretty siloed stories, if we're being honest. We wondered what this meant for our customer experience, and we were pretty sure it wasn't good.
Today, we've made a few changes to give you a better experience. You'll notice that there is just one blog — we're calling it The Adobe Blog. You'll still find all the great content, but we've consolidated the blogs to tell a single, cohesive story — from marketing to creative to delivery and beyond, and from forward-thinking ideas to the nuts and bolts of how-to articles. We believe this will give you the big picture on industry trends, especially as the lines intersecting creative and marketing start to focus more on experiences.
The Adobe Blog is now more interactive. It's designed so you can easily manage all the information according to your preference for the type of content you want to see. Here's a quick list of some of its new features:
- Sign in to The Adobe Blog, and personalize the site with the topics you want to read. When you return, click "For You," and your latest stories will be on your homepage.
- Did you love, but couldn't quite finish the article about how VR is coming to PDF? Bookmark it. It'll be ready when you visit next.
- Want to share your thoughts on an article? Thanks to Experience Manager Livefyre, you can highlight text and write a note for other readers to see, or tweet from right there.
- It's easy to share articles, quotes, or anything else you want to highlight on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
- Finally, have our best articles sent directly to you. Simply subscribe to our newsletter to have the latest trends and insights appear right in your inbox.
Bringing together multiple blogs results in more than a new look and feel. Now that we have one voice in one location, we're creating themed "collections" — a series of articles focused on digital experiences. The stories will use a variety of media and formats to examine trends that transcend our product lines.
Our premiere collection, "Beyond the Screen," features stories about how brands and artists are using emerging technologies like augmented reality, virtual reality, and voice recognition to drive deeper, richer customer experiences. It includes more than 20 posts that will be published during the coming weeks. You'll read about the skills it takes to create immersive experiences, how these experiences may change our relationship with technology, how companies are creating amazing experiences in unexpected places, what some technologists believe future innovations will bring, as well as information on the tools and technology you have access to now.
A big thank you to Joey Guidone, our co-collaborator on the artwork for "Beyond the Screen." Joey is an artist and illustrator from Italy. Learn more about what inspired his pieces, his artistic process, and what he hopes we will experience from his work.
With our new site and our first collection, we want to become your go-to destination for everything you need to know about the intersection of creativity and data. We want to inspire and empower you with the knowledge and tools you need to build a true experience business.
We're glad you're here. Welcome to The Adobe Blog.

In simple terms, a Social Media Influencer is a social media user who has established credibility in a specific field. He or she has access to a large audience and can persuade others by virtue of their authenticity and reach. Now the question is, how can one become a successful Social Media Influencer? We have identified 8 steps to make it happen. Enjoy, share, flourish.
Find a niche
What are you good at? Then, what are you passionate about? Is it football analysis, make up, comedy, reviewing movies? Whatever it is, identify it, and make it your niche. Even if you can do multiple things, make one niche yours and own it.
Stand out
In a Social Media space where everyone is doing everything, you have to stand out to be different. You have to do something unique, something nobody is doing. Even if people are doing it, yours has to have a distinction, if not you'll be just like everyone else, and be lost in the pool of the norm.
Create great and original content
As an influencer, you are a content creator by default. Even if all you do is smile for the cameras, you are creating content. And for people to be influenced, that content has to be great, has to appeal to them. Originality also goes a long way. So, begin with a strategy; ask yourself questions like, "what do I want to do, how do I want to do it, what do I need to do it, when do I do it?" etc, then create timelines and schedules. Invest if you have to – on tools, equipments, etc. Then create great content that will bring people to your page(s)
Pick your platform
Talking about pages, it is important that you pick a platform that is most important to what you're doing and make it your base. Put majority of your resources into that channel where you get the most engagement, focus and grow it. If it is Twitter, focus and grow it. If it is Instagram, same. If it is YouTube, keep churning out content. With time, you can spread to other platforms.
Imagine spending all these time, energy and resources to get to the point where you have great content but nobody sees it. Chai. In simple words, you have to promote your art. Major platforms have made it easy to promote content via native ads. You can also share with your friends and ask them to reshare for you. All na promotion.
Have you noticed how certain influencers are seen as a clique? It is strategic. One will chase a thousand, two will chase TEN thousand. Geometric progression. When you collaborate, your chances of being seen more than doubles, because now the audience is not just yours, it is the other person's and the more people share, the more you grow. So, collaborate with other influencers, whether they are smaller or bigger than you. Grow someone, be grown by someone. Keyword is grow.
Engage with your audience
Who are you most likely to talk to? Someone who responds, or someone who ignores you? Of course it's the person who talks back. Influencing is a two-way street, and the smaller you are, the better it is for you to respond to people engaging. When you become very big, you may be unable to respond to everyone who hits you up, but it is important you do not become aloof. Like comments, reply tweets, follow back, etc. Engage
This is one of the most important things, and it is often the most overlooked. Analyzing data is key to knowing how well you're doing, what is working, who your audience are, how you can get better, etc. Data crunching helps you know what to stop, when to go back to the drawing boards to restrategize, what you should spend more time and resources on, and so on. Do not overlook this; explore the analytics section of your platform, and, when you feel like you've grown enough, use paid tools like Sprout Social, Keyhole, etc, to analyze output.
If you read to this point, you're a step closer to being an influencer. But before you go, a bonus tip is consistency. Give your audience a reason to turn on notifications, and visit your page as frequently as possible. Now go into the world and flourish.

Also, PBX can provide extra features including call transfer, voicemail, interactive voice response (IVR) menus, automatic call distributor and call recording. Since a hosted PBX or cloud PBX system provides a lot of additional features compared to the traditional phone lines or an onsite solution and they are also cost effective a large number of businesses have implemented hosted phone system. If you are considering switching to PBX then it is important that you understand which kind of hosted system telephone is actually suitable for you. Hosted or cloud PBX, you have to know and have basic knowledge about each type of PBX.
What is a hosted PBX system?
A hosted PBX has the following features:
- All the equipment is handled off-site. A PBX hosted phone system service provider almost will run all of the required services at a remote site. The service provider will also manage all the equipment and you will not have to invest in any hardware.
- The service can be accessed through a direct network connection. or in simple words, the service will be provided through the internet.
- All the features are uniform. since the service is set to a fixed size there is no flexibility of scaling up or down. Nonetheless, this also means that the service is consistent.
- The hosted PBX is generally pay-per-seat. For instance, if you have more than fifty workers then you will pay for the amount of server space and the infrastructure usage required for fifty workers.
What is a cloud PBX?
Even though a cloud PBX is like the hosted PBX, but it is not completely identical. it has the following features:
- The service provider will run the service in the cloud. this means that there will be no physical off-site location where the service and other equipment will be kept.
- It is scalable. Cloud PBX has room for flexibility with respect scaling the services up or down.
- Spikes in the demand can impact services. since it is a challenging task to foresee and manage the unexpected demand hence high demand can disturb other users on the same network.
- A direct network connection will be used in order to access the service. similar to other cloud-based services, cloud PBX also is accessed through the internet.
- The Storage capacity might be Limited. according to the number of users the assigned storage space can quickly be used up.
- It is usually pay-per-usage. rather than paying for the number of users, cloud-based system usually is billed depending on the service usage.
Cloud PBX
In cloud PBX the service provider hosts the Software, Hardware and also maintains your phone system. Your business only has to connect the handsets to the network. The quality of call might vary based on the network connection. Your service provider will handle all the updates and maintenance of your system. Cloud PBX service is best for small or medium size businesses which are experiencing growth and want a scalable solution. With cloud PBX there is:
- Minimum setup
- No maintenance
- Monthly fees
- If new phones added, then the monthly cost increases
- Fast implementation
Onsite PBX
All the hardware will be at your physical location and the calls will get passed through your server over a dedicated voice network connection. You will be able to manage the call quality with more flexible and customizable options. Onsite PBX is best for small or medium-size businesses which have an IT Department that can support the hardware and if they can afford the expenses. With the onsite PBX there is:
- Upfront installation and Hardware cost
- Maintenance of hardware costs
- Service and support from the in-house IT Department
- Lower TCO
- Long implementation
What is the difference between cloud and hosted PBX?
Now that you have come to know all the basic characteristics of hosted and cloud PBX it is relatively easier to see the differences and similarities. Neither are both on-site solutions nor they need you to invest in a costly equipment. In addition, both systems are accessed through an Internet connection. However, that is where the similarity among both ends. Hosted PBX has uniform features which means you cannot scale up or down and it is pay-per-seat, making hosted system telephone a suitable choice for only established business which have a fixed number of workers and produce study volume of data. Cloud PBX solution on the contrary is scalable and it is pay-per-usage. This makes cloud PBX a suitable choice for start-ups and small businesses which are expanding.
Is there any other type of PBX system?
A PBX system can be referred to a site based, cloud, virtual, hosted or a hybrid solution.

Striker replied to djewel23's topic in IntroductionsSweet! Welcome... Make sure you set up mumble... it will be extremely essential for raiding
Alright... How do Friday nights look? I was thinking we could put together a raid this friday starting at 2030 Central ( 8:30pm). This should allow for both east and west to participate. If you are interested please reply, so we can see if we have enough numbers
From The Desk Of Striker!
Striker posted a topic in Guild Wars 2Hey folks, As many of you are aware, I have been traveling a great deal over the past month and a half. I want to apologize for not being around as much as needed. Unfortunately I will be away until next Monday again. I have promoted 3 more officers to be able to ensure the guild hall progression is going smoothly. All top tier officers now have the ability to perform all of the necessary actions within the guild. If there are any issues or concerns please see anyone of the officers. We will also be looking, in the near future, to have more events and better coordination. In order for this to occur, it is essential that we spend the foreseeable future promoting the usage of our voice server during ALL game play, particularly the officers. Officers/Leaders are now expected to be on mumble when gaming... even if in "stealth mode". If you are NOT already on mumble, or you have not been using it recently, now is the time to start. If you feel that you are not grouping with people, log in to mumble, you will be amazed the help you get! It is time to become more unified as a group... and voice server interaction is the key to developing a vibrant and effective guild, not to mention having an enjoyable raiding group.

Striker replied to Striker's topic in Guild Wars 2This is something that we are acutely aware of. We will try to have saturday missions early enough in the day to facilitate participation throughout!
Guild Missions
Striker posted a topic in Guild Wars 2We will be starting to see guild missions being run on a more regular basis in order to support our GH development. I will be on tonight at 2030 Central time to start them. Saturday evening will also have missions running from 2000-2330 Central time. Please let us know if you are able to make it!
Yup. The idea is that everyone is able to be part of the design process, but a few will oversee to ensure that it remains somewhat ... for a lack of a better word... sane.
The plan is to acquire the Gilded Hollow. Once this is done we will need master decorators and designers. In order to maintain an organized chaos, we will try to have a select few in charge of the design process. Is there anyone who is interested in this responsibility?

World Leaders have converged in New York, USA for the UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on Ending AIDS as UNAIDS announces 2 million more people living with HIV on treatment in 2015, bringing new total to 17 million.
Health and Sanitation Minister, Dr. Abu Bakarr Fofanah
Representing the Head of State of Sierra Leone, Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma, is the Minister of Health and Sanitation, Dr. Abu Bakarr Fofanah who is currently in New York for the meeting which will commence from June 8-10, 2016.
The UNAIDS Global update 2016 states that an estimated 17 million people were accessing life-saving anti-retroviral medicines at the end of 2015, with an additional 2 million people gaining access over a 12-month period. As more countries adopt new guidelines from the World Health Organization to treat everyone diagnosed with HIV immediately, public health benefits are being realized for individuals and for wider society.
The extraordinary scale-up of anti-retroviral treatment since 2010 by many of the world's most affected countries has reduced AIDS-related deaths from 1.5 million in 2010 (1.3 million) to 1.1 million (940,000 -1.3 million).
Countries are now urged to seize this unprecedented opportunity to put HIV prevention and treatment programmes on the Fast-Track and end the AIDS epidemic by 2030.
The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS leads and inspires the world to achieve its share vision of zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths. UNAIDS unites the efforts of 11 UN organizations – UNHCR, UNICEF, WFP, UNDP, UNFPA, UNODC, UN Women, ILO, UNESCO, WHO and the World Bank -and works closely with global and national partners towards ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030 as part of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Okay everyone, as I promised in my Gakkenflex review, here is an english version of the Gakkenflex instruction manual! I'd just like to preface this by saying that these are not direct Japanese-English translations. My amazing, awesome girlfriend did rough translations of the part names (thank you!!!) and I filled in the rest with my own instructions, based on my experiences. I gave some of the parts my own names, because we had no idea how to translate them, but you should still know what I mean
I know that there are some Gakkenflex clones out there, but the one I got was the offical Otona no Kagaku Magazine, volume 25, which I bought when I was in Japan. The images here are scanned from the magazine that came with it. I hope this is useful!

There is little case-law about residential/landlord tenant assignments in this state, but Washington's Courts have outlined the law on assignability of commercial leases; with no extraordinary circumstances, commercial law, and a bargained-for ban on assignability, would be enforceable in a residential lease. As far as counterbalancing forces to such a ban, the Landlord must exercise good faith, and the law favors free transferability of everything, including leasehold interests: there is a "strong policy against restraints on the alienation of property interests." Robroy Land Co., Inc. v. Prather, 95 Wash.2d 66, 622 P.2d 367 (1980).
If a lease does have a clause that requires for the landlord not to unreasonably withhold consent to assignment or sublet, as most do, then, the tenant's implementation of an assignment is allowed pending consent; which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If it does not have that language (i.e., the lease/contract is silent on the issue), and a tenant's desire to sublet were to arise, the tenant could likely – in contravention to the common law – superimpose some of the language and legal authority discussed above and compel authorization. The written agreement at the time of signing the lease is key: even in the residential context, the landlord may include a provision that the "tenant may not assign or sublet the premises unless the landlord consents to the assignment or subletting, which consent may be withheld for any reason."
Such a clause could be carried over from the commercial context. Ernst Home Center, Inc. v. Sato, 80 Wn.App. 473 (1996) (dealing with enforceability of a stock clause stating that the "landlord may not unreasonably withhold consent.").
In the Ernst case, the Court debated whether or not Ernst hardware could sublet its space in Bremerton, Washington, to Value Village, the thrift store. Ernst shut down its store there and was guardedly attempting to not breaking its lease; it found Value Village to sublet. The Court reviewed and set up the reasonableness standard through which the landlord's rejection must be analyzed. What is "unreasonable?" The Court referenced a Texas case, Mitchell's, Inc. v. Nelms, 454 S.W.2d 809, 814 (1970), which equated unreasonable to "irrational, foolish, unwise, absurd, silly, preposterous, senseless, and stupid, with 'arbitrary', defined as despotic, tyrannical, bound by no law, and are performed without regard to principles."
In Ernst, the Court found that the withholding of consent was not justifiable, articulating the following considerations: "We do not disagree that 'tone' and 'image' are valid considerations which a landlord may appropriately consider . . . To the contrary, Ernst was able to show conclusively that Value Village co-exists happily side-by-side with stores such as Safeway, Ernst, Payless, Eagle Hardware, Sears and others in strip malls indistinguishable from this one, in the Pacific Northwest and elsewhere in the country . . . The trial court believed that the greater weight of the evidence was that Value Village would fit very nicely into this mall–and would be a far superior choice to leaving more than a third of the space empty, dark, and unproductive for an indefinite period of time. . . " Ernst, 80 Wn.App. 473, 485.

Road sinking
Reported in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 21:06, Thu 5 September 2019
Sent to Northamptonshire County Council 4 minutes later. ref: 1757667.
This road has shown signs of sinking further and further. Will you wait until a sink-hole appears and people are hurt, or worse? We drive on the wrong side of the road, heading down Johns Road, to avoid the sunken part of the road. Repairs have been made to a few pot holes but this sinking area is ignored, and is getting worse. This road has deteriorated consistently since additional houses were built at the bottom of the road, when a great deal of heavy machinery was taken up and down the road for many many months,
Thank you for reporting a fault on the highway. We will use the information you have provided to assess and prioritise this fault in accordance with our published response times for fault reports.
State changed to: Investigating
Posted by Northamptonshire County Council at 21:10, Thu 5 September 2019

The hot buzz around the internet today is a story we first noticed here at Day Trending about a week ago, which is Google's planned entry into the online music provider service. But in the technology sector since so many things seem to be happening at once, it may take a few days before a topic becomes hot enough to trend. Some items which merit more attention sometimes start off slow with a press release or announcement and take a few days before traffic increases, and more news outlets cover the story. We try to cover all the news about the search engine leader and their business plans.
Google's Vice President of Engineering and developer of the Android operating system, Andy Rubin is heading up talks with major record label executives for the development of a song download store and music locker service as reported by the Reuters news service. This kind of service would be in direct competition with the Apple iTune domination of the online entertainment sector. Apple iTunes store accounts for over 70 percent of all online digital music sales.
"Finally here's an entity with the reach, resources and wherewithal to take on iTunes as a formidable competitor by tying it into search and Android mobile platform," said a label executive who asked not to be identified. "What you'll have is a very powerful player in the market that's good for the music business."
Google has recently entered the cell phone market and is now posting sales upwards of 200,000 units per day with the Android software installed, and is already competing with the Apple iPhone market. Reuters reports that although iTunes has breathed life into a fading business model they are becoming increasingly concerned about the militant tactics used by Apple for pricing, control and formats of digital music.
Although Google is a major player to this online business warfare, which according to the aphorism "Competition is Good" stands to benefit most parties; Amazon the giant online bookseller has also had an online presence in the form of their own online MP3 store since 2007, but only retains twelve percent of the market.
"We're cautiously optimistic because Google has great scale and reach but doesn't have a track record in selling stuff," said another label executive who declined to be named as the talks are still ongoing.

COLLEEN DeGUZMAN | STAFF WRITER
PHARR — State legislators, local officials and energy experts participated in an energy summit here Wednesday to discuss key factors in the oil and natural gas industry powering the Texas economy.
Covering the growth of the industry in the state and its impact on the nation's energy security, Texas Oil and Gas Association President Todd Staples recognized the impact local oil and natural gas industries have on local communities.
Among the factors Staples identified were LNG facilities, which have had a polarizing effect on public opinion regarding the impact liquefied natural gas may have on the local environment.
"The men and women of the oil and natural gas industry in the Rio Grande Valley are securing the region's economy, environment and future," said Staples, former state senator and Texas agriculture commissioner, at the Boggus Ford Events Center in Pharr. "Continued oil and natural gas production and LNG (liquefied natural gas) export facilities in the Valley will play an important role, not only in creating local jobs and investment, but also in anchoring our state's position as a global energy leader."
The event was a collaboration between TXOGA and the RGV Partnership, inviting oil and gas companies from all over the region. Keynote speakers included state Sens. Eddie Lucio Jr., and Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa, Director of Institutional Relations-Mexico Jorge R. Pinon, of the University of Texas at Austin Jackson School of Geoscience; and a panel with Kurt Knight-Turcan, Enbridge vice principal of business development and Eddie Campirano, Port of Brownsville executive director and CEO.
Though representatives from across the state spoke at the summit, nearly each one focused on Texas being poised to pass Iraq and Iran as the world's third-largest oil producer.
"Responsible, robust oil and natural gas development is key to economic and job growth in Texas," said Lucio, of Brownsville. "The Texas oil industry has had explosive growth in the last several years. … This has positioned Texas as a dominant force in global energy markets and has made the United States a top producer of crude oil, surpassing Russia and Saudi Arabia."
Hinojosa shared similar sentiments regarding Texas oil and gas companies, and recognizes their importance to the everyday lives of residents.
"TXOGA and its members should be proud of this accomplishment and the positive economic impact this industry has had on our region and state," Hinojosa said. "Oil and natural gas today has made an environment where we are living longer and have a higher quality of life. Oil and natural gas today, because of their contributions, are funding our schools, are funding our roads."
Preceding a moment of silence for George H.W. Bush, who died Nov. 30, Staples acknowledged the 41st president's support for the oil and gas industry.
"He moved his family from Connecticut to Texas to enter the Texas oil business and he was a member of the Texas Oil and Gas Association; and we actually have his handwritten application from the 60s," Staples said. "He recognized the importance of oil and gas, and because of individuals like him, oil and gas continues to have a profound impact on our state and our nation."

So my new room is all done (BTW, I highly recommend Francis Manzella if you are going to do a room!), and I am taking the occasion to explore VSTi's.
All of my hardware is currently still packed away, and I'm not sure I can fit it into the new room. It's amazing how small a room becomes when it is turned into a critical listening area!
My first inclination was to go totally virtual, so I downloaded demos from various sound developers, and while some of the sounds are very creative, it just seems like the overall sound is missing something.
That "something" seems to be a "reach out an touch it" factor. This seems to show up less with the orchestral and giga stuff than some others.
By comparision I just finished listening to the demos for the MOTIF by Yamaha, and the difference to me was amazing. Now again, I seriously doubt
that an orchestral mock-up done on a MOTIF is going to attempt to shine the shoes of a giga-type mock up, but for all other types of music, I'm not sure.
Has anyone noticed this as well? I mean for R&B, and pop type arrangements, it seems that there is a noticable lack of "punch" and "separation" in the VSTi.
I know Reason is not known for it's fidelity, but I actually did a dance mix with it's instruments rendered track-by-track and imported into PARIS, and the results were OK. Again, not stellar, or as punchy as I have gotten with
"real" synths, but OK. The advantage that Reason afforded me was that I got that arrangment up and happening is less than an hour on a laptop! I don't remember hardware being that fast.
Has anyone done the same song in a hardware and software version? If so, what is your opinion of the results?
Also, what are considered that "best of breed" right now in terms of vsti? As I do my comparisons, I want to be comparing the best hardware to the best software.
I know I am coming dangerously close to starting a Hardware vs Software war, and that is not my intent. I just think it would be really cool to have a totally virtual studio, but I want to make sure I get the best and that it is capable of achieving the sound I used to get with hardware.

This post is about this thing, read the agenda and stuff.
So I'm doing this writeup almost more out of obligation than actually wanting to. That's all my blog is anymore, nothing gold can stay. If you want a super-serious writeup, check out Dan La Botz's piece over at New Politics, and I think many more assessments will be forthcoming (from North Star editors Louis Proyect and Mark Lause for example), all of which I will reprint here or submit to North Star. The parts I've read are solid. But if you want something perhaps a bit juicier and more detailed, and more stupid, stay here.
So what the fuck was this thing and how did I become involved? These are excellent questions, and it's still sort of unbelievable to me.
So you all know CUSP, a project which I love and I don't see as unimportant but which is basically little more than me and some friends putting up a shingle on the Internet and say "hey socialists should be united derp derp" (more on that later). During some CUSP canvassing over the Internet, a leading member of Solidarity messages me that he and his org are generally very much down with the broad direction of CUSP – probably more looking for anything Left-Independent than explicitly Socialist, but hey, it's something. He asks if I would want to be on a Soli conference call about putting forth the idea of an independent Left electoral conference. I say, def.
That was a huge con call, probably the most active/collective participation that has occurred in one place in Soli for a while. That's not meant as an insult, because personally I think creating a collective beacon of visibility is one of the most important tasks the Left could be undertaking right now. I was really energized to be on it.
However from there it was less about anything mass participatory (for a time) and more about people on Soli's committee reaching out to other groups and local campaigns/candidates/outfits. I followed this process as a fellow traveler on con calls of Soli's committee, but not the collective inter-group planning committee. Keeping me hidden away in the basement was probably for the best given that I think some people might still be mad at me about the whole saying what I actually think thing. They asked me to help publicize the conference through CUSP, North Star, tankie facebook pages I bizarrely happen to be an admin of, and whatever the hell else I was involved in, plus to work on making the conference website.
CUSP => Soli con call => Soil IPA committee => logistics & attendance
My concern with the conference was NOT to launch some big intervention arguing that it should be socialist-only…there were enough weirdos mucking the thing up by advancing their own little bizarre formulations there (enough, but fortunately few!). Now if you can believe this, I was actually not going to attend. Still kind of unbelievable to me too in retrospect, but I figured I would try to make the conference a livestreamed interactive event over the Internet by setting up the application end, promote it among my affiliated audiences, maybe send a few minions to call for taking the whole thing to its next level of development (that ended up being me in practice), and that would be it.
So at some point a guy in Solidarity asks me, dude, this is all you have been about for like, years now? How the fuck can you not go? (He said it nicely, but pretty much that bluntly, which in truth was warranted.) And I say, I'm broke.
He says, I found flights out of Atlantic City for $80 round trip and we can put you up.
Damn. I have never felt so believed-in, except when my blog started getting an audience, Louis Proyect made me chancellor of North Star, or when my recruiter told me I should go to Officer Candidate School (Maximum Problemagic). For real though, people seem to keep thinking it's worth it to take a chance on me despite my uncompromising hate of authority, tendency toward putting forward grand sweeping plans for what the Left should do, and occult insanity/general weirdness. If sometimes I seem a little wrapped up in what I'm doing and I don't pay attention to you, don't take it personally. I notice when people notice; I notice when people support me, every time. It all means a rather lot to me, thanks to everyone who gives me a hearing. We're rebuilding and reinventing the Left together and you rock.
I have been badly wanting to go to a rave ever since receiving miraculous revelations telling me that I should, I hoped this trip would be my chance. Alas, too much fatigue, money limits, and not knowing my way around town concluded with this not happening and me getting only mildly drunk with small handfuls of leftists instead. Only later did I hear from a comrade in Philly Socialists who had been passing through that she had indeed attended such an affair the night before we spoke. Perhaps if I had only dedicated myself more, I could have gone apeshit in a bath of color and sound…truly the gods are cruel and regret is a bitter taste. Someday.
I subjected some poor Green Party electoral technicality maven named Phil Huckleberry to my insane ravings about Jesus and reincarnation (the idea is that God had no moral authority to judge humanity until living a human's life with perfect principle, hence Christ, except that for it to really count Christ had to be born without the knowledge of being God, etc). A young woman asked for my phone number, but when I gave it to her, she quizzically asked if I was giving her an area code (I was), must have concluded I was an out-of-reach out-of-towner, and immediately abandoned the chase. I guess it was just summer love.
I brought both Greenman and Redman, by which I mean to the uninitiated the mono-color body suits as seen on Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and I asked Jill Stein to do a photo with me of me wearing the red one and her wearing the green one. She said she had to catch a plane. This was almost certainly a lie.
One thing I said (roughly) during my comments was "It might not be 100% clear how to connect to Black Lives Matter, we can connect with its organized national convention, but it's also sometimes enough to give our rhetorical support to it. In the same way that Syriza has been Greece's Party of the Riot, we can be that." For some reason this got laughter; I think it's because how wide-eyed and rapturous I must have looked and sounded during that last beautiful vision of bricks and ballots.
On the flight out I got a ridiculous ton of writing done, regarding where CUSP is going, where Emerge is going (into North Star probably), and an emerging theory in my head about the relationship between the fabric of personal relationships, the formation of cliques/friend groups, and the dynamics of power and democracy within organizations, and also how this relates to the issue of state-based ruling classes in state-based economies. It was a giant burst of suppressed creativity somehow, probably because I'd been working on conference stuff, but it finally got out. All of that is forthcoming.
The conference was predominated by the 60s generation, but they were simply the largest group instead of the majority. Ages were mixed, gender was mixed, and race was mixed, especially for what I assumed would be the most nerdy white petit bourgeois common interest imaginable. Attendance was over 175, up to 200, I never got the final count, which is pretty good regarding that some critics viewed this conference as trying to create something out of nothing. There was strong attention not just to electoral machinery (necessary!) but also how that stuff interconnects with issues like Black Lives Matter and $15.
The conference was somewhat nastily divided over Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein, leaning decisively toward Jill of course given that it was meant to be an independent, anti-Democrat conference in essence. However Bernie supporters were there, both in the audience and as speakers/candidates/officeholders.
One of my few complaints is that numerous people were a bit too brutal to the Sanders supporters, and I say this not least because I am leaning toward his campaign (believe me I understand the anxieties of all sides). A 16-year-old woman came to support Sanders and was subjected to endless berating of him, often with very little clear articulated reference to what precisely Sanders has done wrong (and honestly I could list things…). Later in the conference she said that this was the first time she had been exposed to socialist ideas, she agreed with a lot of what she was hearing, but she was badly dismayed by the venom with which people were trying to "communicate." I agreed wholeheartedly on that front – whether you're inside or outside the Bernie campaign, you should try to connect with these people and that means treating them like human beings. I think we need to reach people like her, since there are already 175,000.
And this was a unique issue because the rest of the conference got along famously. It was probably one of the best, least annoying inter-group Left gatherings I have ever been to! The typical sectarian shitshow was almost nowhere to be found. Sure, some groups were slightly self-promoting (and why not, really?), but they were also unmistakably contributing. Sure, there were one or two sectarians making speeches about their bizarre preferred exact formulations of a party or whatever the fuck (and deep down I could be considered one of those though I did not really torture people at this conference about that), but they were completely overwhelmed by people actually talking about how to run campaigns, eager to work together, and focused on learning from each other.
One of my favorite presentations was from Richmond Progressive Alliance, a formation in California. I hadn't really paid much attention to them earlier because they were not Orthodox Pig Iron Campaigners for Socialism, but their methods were actually amazing.
Some of the key insights from their campaigning were two main points. One was that in non-partisan struggle, you almost have to make the race partisan. People need a collective bloc which they can clearly politically identify in order to vote; much of people's voting habits are, in truth, party-based instead of individualistic, the constant self-dishonest griping of independents notwithstanding. The second thing was that, while you should strive to give your bloc a broad progressive identification by participation publicly in many social issues, they actually win races by picking one strategic critical wedge issue. This is comparable to Sawant's campaigns, which revolved around $15 and now rent control. RPA's approach was very similar.
A guy from Vermont Progessive Party claimed that they run successful state rep campaigns for only $5,000 and state senate campaigns for only $20,000. I am sure non-grassroots campaigns blow ten times that.
Jorgé Mújica of Chicago Socialist Campaign had one of my favorite quotes of the night. He said that people at the conference were involved in a scattered focus on issues, and insufficiently on electoral machine politics required to actually win. He said: "We win all the debates, we lose all the elections." Amazing. Of course a more nuanced take would be that it all matters, but really he was counterbalancing other tendencies at the conference himself, so in context it made sense.
As for me, I was running the livestreaming. At first we were using Twitch. I thought this made sense; many people have heard of Twitch, and I heard of it through Jodi Dean posting something about how Twitch Plays Pokemon could be a visionary example of future online direct-democratic structures.
However, little did I know, Twitch is not simply a livestreaming platform popular among gamers, but is instead a livestreaming platform only for gaming. We had gotten almost entirely through Saturday's first two pre-lunch sessions when Twitch informed us our account had been suspended for non-gaming content, LOL. Me and a comrade considered pressing the argument that this conference was itself a form of strategy game but concluded that time was critical and concessions had to be made.
I had to scramble to set up a conference YouTube account, learn their system, redirect my Open Broadcast Software client, and test it out all when I was supposed to be eating lunch, fun fun.
I ended up doing some of their other filming/recording stuff, and dealing with piping distance greetings from Denmark/Seattle onto a projector, and other projector stuff like power points and the notes from the final brainstorming session. I also just did whatever bullshit that was asked of me like carrying stuff around or whatever. I was a pretty good little boy, but they kind of paid for me to go so I had no problem with it. Lots of video will probably be forthcoming at LeftElect.org.
Sad thing? The livestreaming audience only ever reached single-digits at any given time. That's not to say that's all it was; I am thinking it could have been around 30 people shuffling in and out, and if the livestreaming helped 30 people who couldn't afford to make the trip follow along, then I consider it a good deed performed.
However, what was really hilarious is how many times people during the conference said things like "Fuck the mainstream media, fuck the corporate media, let's BE the media! We need to get this shit on YouTube!" and I was thinking "point of information ma'am, you are currently on YouTube…carry on." My services were appreciated by the attendees, if not so much utilized by the wider masses this time. So I suppose that in its future development (future, larger, more participatory, and hopefully more widely-followed conferences coming out of this one) that the practice of getting the livestreaming and all the A/V & projector shit set up was good, and may help us be prepared for the future actual huge Podemos-magnitude flood of web participation. If anything, I learned a lot and I am putting it on my resumé.
We were in a basement with shitty reception so I had prepared myself by enlisting the services of Jump Wireless mobile broadband, so I would always have an Internet connection independent of the infrastructure provided by the union (to be honest theirs was pretty weak, sad to say). Mobile broadband really is excellent for sidestepping unresponsive institutions! (It is necessary at all times to maintain a renegade political infrastructure in case of expulsion/split/government crackdown!)
The final session is what I had been hoping would be a democratic session to forge a network right then and there. It's not what it was.
Instead it was more of a consultative session where the planning committee who set the thing up affirmed that it would persist as a sort of unelected bureaucracy to keep pushing the process forward, but it now opened itself up to ideas/consultation/critique. The committee's plan/recommendation:
- Keep continuations committee
- Let continuations committee forge network after the conference
- Reach out to even more groups and more local independent campaign forces
- Support Sawant! (This was a major point to celebrate in my opinion.)
- Keep website for coordination, opinion, content/video
- Weather the Sanderite storm of 2016
- Continue process at US Social Forum?
Another interesting possibility was that the Democratic National Convention is at Philly in 2016, and various voices came out in support of the idea of crashing it/hosting a large nearby event for the inevitable disaffected Bernie supporters.
What frightened me about the whole "let the committee handle it" approach was that I've seen this thing happen before over the last few years…many groups have been responding to electoral Left stuff out of more public pressure to do so than necessarily real commitment, as far as I could tell. Several Left Unity talks have occurred only to be followed up by inaction, as well. This conference assuaged my fears however – it seemed the people who set it up are dead serious about at least having another conference. Whatever beef I may have with the structure, the continuations committee did state a sincere intention to keep pushing the thing forward in a way I found believable.
Indeed, someone raised a motion to accept the committee's recommendations. I objected that this session was not even really set up to be a democracy – there was insufficient time scheduled for competing motions, real discussion or planning, and the moderator was definitely not prepared to carry out anything approximating Robert's Rules or even a basic fair democratic process. I said a good deal of this. I was one of four abstentions from voting for the motion, having no votes against and almost unanimous.
Yeah, that was a dickish thing of me to do given that I agreed with all the content of the motion in itself. But you know what? Democracy is something I insist on, and yes even formal democracy. Virtually everything on the Left is done by "trusted cadres" as they said in the USSR (see intro), and if we are ever going to break out of our little corner into mass relevance, we have to do it by empowering the people in the room to debate, vote, and run shit themselves. That is the only way our organizations will create a world worth living in, and indeed the only way people will feel ownership over them enough to put their time and participation in. We need to be more flexible and prepared to turn discussion sessions into proper debate & voting sessions. This means we have to surrender our own plans, our own pre-decided processes, and the undespoiled sanctity of our own positions to the will of the mob. Really we should have only one position – all power to the mob, and none for ourselves, except through it.
I still thought putting the network formation off to another conference was a bad idea and we needed a network right here and now, and I said so. How much momentum can people keep up? We've all got other political stuff, and lives. Shouldn't this have been the conference to declare a network? Why put it off after losing momentum? If it never happens on their part, I'm fairly prepared to put it into motion unilaterally, and if anything, this conference strengthened my network of contracts and my ability to do such a thing.
My proposals were in this spirit of being pointed toward setting the damned thing up now:
- walk away with a structure decided, less amorphous
- mutual educational support re: electoral skills
- Podemos-style launch-petition circulation for a targeted election
- a wave of local candidates under a common umbrella name
- a few keys issues defining this umbrella, ex. $15, BLM, Green New Deal
- eventually a participatory decision-making structure
The response I got from the crowd was decent, and I have a feeling this and other brainstorm quality comments from the crowd (all viewable here) will help steer and influence the continuations committee in its planning of next steps. (I don't think I'm being oversharing by linking to this; it was, after all, up on a giant projector screen.)
So, in conclusion. Will me and collaborators still probably launch a Socialist Electoral Alliance, based more on participatory membership, online organizing, and Socialist specificity? Yes, but I don't see it as competing with this conference or the alliance of people around it; it would be more like a component or ally of it, really.
Did I get everything I wanted? No.
But the overwhelming feeling I got from the entire conference, seeing the mix of groups, the mix of ages, the mix of genders, the mix of races, the era of good feelings and willingness to come together, the common recognition of this common need, all to build some kind of collaborative electoral intervention & common electoral front in the USA, is "holy fuck this has needed to happen for years, I am so ecstatic it is actually happening."
And it finally happened.

Polar S625xWritten by Sierra Rein
The Polar S625X heart rate monitor does away with uncertainty and doubt by providing all the performance data an athlete would need. This simple looking wristwatch can monitor and transmit information about its wearer's heart and recovery rates, travel speed and distance, altitude and ascent. The heart rate (HR) data itself can be displayed as either the maximum or average HR within the allotted exercise period.
The S625X monitor is compatible with the Polar heart rate chest strap and all Polar cycling sensors. Because it was originally designed for tri-athletes and runners, most of its functions are applicable to running and cycling performance data. The unit is also water resistant to depths of 30 meters, allowing it to be worn in any type of rough weather.
Intelligent Cross-Training with the Polar S625X
The S625X is equipped with an internal software system capable of housing up to 99 exercise files. It can also create five different, extended profiles for multiple training routes. In addition, the unit comes with the Polar Precision Performance software to help the athlete analyze his or her personal rates of improvement.
For those who need guidance during their training sessions, the Polar S625X contains the Polar OwnZone and Polar OwnCal features. OwnZone uses both blinking and beeping alarms to adjust the athlete's intensity to his or her own personal profile, while the OwnCal feature uses recorded height and weight data to automatically ascertain calorie usage. With all this information at one's fingertips, any workout or training session can become more effective and with the possibility of faster results.

Carlos Bacca will not leave AC Milan in January, according to his team-mate Suso.
Bacca, who was the subject of strong interest from West Ham last summer, is once again on the Hammers' radar as Slaven Bilic looks to bolster his attacking options in the January transfer window.
However, West Ham could be set for disappointment once again in their pursuit of the Colombian, with the striker's Milan team-mate Suso believing the former Sevilla man will stay put at San Siro.
When asked if Bacca will continue at Milan until June, Suso told Marca: "I think so, I ask him and he tells me that he is very happy, I see him very happy. I tell you yes (he will stay), although we know that in football, everything changes from one moment to another. The truth is that the best thing for us is that he does not move."
AC Milan's CEO Adriano Galliani also said recently
"Bacca is not for sale. I repeat, he is absolutely off the market,"

By Ian Anderson (President, Smart + Strong)
What if sports athletes around the world went out and got an HIV test and then shared the results with the world?
Think of the oohs and aahs as the results came in. It would make HIV the talk of the town. And at the end of the day, a whole bunch of people would know their status and be able to take appropriate next steps.
It would be the stigma busting event of the century. People would say, "Well, if my favorite sports player isn't afraid to take the test, then dammit neither am I."
Well, guess what? Football wide receiver David Clowney of the Buffalo Bills went out and did just that. He took the test and then shared the results with the world via his Twitter account.
Here's the tweet (click here to see it on Twitter):
He's even getting some press for it as Zack Kelberman wrote about it for YardBarker.com.
I applaud Clowney for taking the test, sharing the test results and then tweeting: "Everyone should get tested!! Don't wait till HIV/AIDS Awareness Day to find out if you have it or not!!"
Now let's see who else steps up to the plate.
And BTW, although he didn't promote it, he also was tested for hepatitis C. We have more than three million Americans out there unaware they have hepatitis C. A double kudos to Clowney for also crossing that off his list.

October 9, Augusta, NJ – The 2018 Can-Am League Champion Sussex County Miners announced that they made a pair of trades today. First, the team sent catcher Christian Correa to the Kansas City T-Bones of the American Association to complete an earlier transaction between the two clubs. That was followed up by the Miners trading outfielder Jayce Ray to the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks of the American Association as part of a three-team deal that yielded right-handed relief pitcher Brandon Barker from Fargo-Moorhead as well as right-handed starting pitcher Geoff Broussard from the Lincoln Saltdogs, also of the American Association.
Correa is returning to the team that he played eight games for in the 2017 season. The Miners acquired him to join forces with veteran backstop Luis Alen, and the 25-year old Long Island, New York native did not disappoint. Christian hit .292 in 50 games for the Miners. During the Can-Am League Playoffs, Correa hit at a .357 clip (5-for-14) with a double and two runs batted in. Christian was also known for his defensive prowess behind the plate, with the pitching staff sporting a 3.89 ERA while Correa was catching. .
"CC (Correa) was good enough to be the starter and was the league's best defender at his position," said Miners manager Bobby Jones. "Just a laser for an arm and gave us solid at bats all year. A great team guy that will be greatly missed."
Ray was acquired by the Miners this past February in a deal that sent Jay Baum to the Sioux City Explorers. Jayce became the Miners everyday centerfielder, as he hit .279 for Sussex County, with 5 home runs and 55 runs batted in. His 31 stolen bases was good for third on the Miners as well as being a key contributor to the club's record 239 stolen bases that paced all Major and Minor League Baseball this year. Jayce had seven outfield assists during the season, and contributed to three double plays defensively, which led the Can-Am League.
"Jayce Ray was a perfect fit from a player/character standpoint," Jones would say about the Miners centerfielder. "Hell of a player, that really brought a toughness that rubbed off on everyone. Tough as nails but just as nice as you can be! Love him!"
In return, the Miners receive a pair of right-handed pitchers who are candidates to join the team's starting rotation and back end of the bullpen next year.
Barker started 12 games for Fargo-Moorhead last season, finishing with a 3-6 record and a 4.85 earned run average. Brandon demonstrated remarkable command by striking out 54 batters and walking just 15 in 68 2/3 innings pitched. During his time in affiliated ball, Barker had reached as high as AAA on two occasions. The first time around, it was for Atlanta's affiliate in Gwinnett (International League) in 2015, and the second time was for Baltimore's affiliate in Norfolk (International League) in 2017.
Broussard, who was dealt to Lincoln by the Redhawks to make the three-way portion of the trade work, appeared in 23 games for Fargo-Moorhead this past season, earning 5 saves and sporting a 2.66 earned run average. Over 27 dominant innings, Geoff struck out 27 batters while walking just 7 while opponents hit .225 against him. Previously, Broussard had also pitched as high as AAA on two occasions, for Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim affiliate in Salt Lake in 2016 and for Cincinnati's affiliate in Louisville in 2017.
After completing both trades, Jones took a moment to reflect on the Miners' championship run..
"So many great memories with this group but I guess my greatest memory will be the excitement of winning the championship with these guys," Jones would add. "Just the grind and the willingness to do whatever was asked of them no matter the situation for the greater good of the team. The selflessness that centered around them and the group as a whole. I will always smile when I think about them…. I'm going to miss them both and so will Sussex County."
