found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Hi! My name is Gumdrop. My littermate Jujubee is also looking for a home. We were born March 22nd, then abandoned at a pet store at just 4 weeks old. We've been hand-raised ever since. We're sweet, friendly and affectionate babies. I am sometimes known as Princess Gumby and I'm the sweetie pie of the bunch. I love to give head nudges to show my affection, to both humans and other kitties. I have the most white spots of the three of us, starting with a solid white burst on my neck/chest, and cute sprinkles on my ear tips and underarms. My black tabby stripes are only noticeable in the sunlight. My fur is velvety, like a chenille-stuffed animal. I too loves to nurse on my blanket and cuddle when it's sleepy time. I am often doing my own thing without brother and sister, but I love toys and playing together just as much as they do. I'm very pretty! I use a litterbox like a good girl. My littermates and I are wonderful babies with non-stop purring and cuddling. We each have our own personality traits, but we're all good with other cats and enjoy the companionship. We immediately acclimated to our foster home and were not afraid or timid of anyone or anything. Please give us the home of our dreams. Adoption fee: $60. Adopt a pair: $90. Adoption fees include testing, deworming, vaccinations and spay/neuter.
Adoption and Foster Care Application: https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dDFIYXdMYUdlVXEwT0l4cGpOM2lhSHc6MQ
Adoption Process:
Complete the application at the link above or send an email to email@example.com to tell us which pet you're interested in and we'll send you a questionnaire that will help us make the best match for you and your new pet. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
Gumdrop, a Troy Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Troy, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Troy.

UPDATE: Sorry folks, look like race day coverage is live-timing only.
I was trying to think this week how to frame how important the Suzuka 8-Hour Endurance Race is for Japanese motorcycle enthusiasts and Japanese motorcycle manufacturers. It's certainly more prestigious than any single MotoGP or WSBK round, and I would hazard that it is as big of a deal to the Japanese as the Isle of Man TT is to the Manx.
A race known for seeing factory teams stacked with the top riders from around the world, this year's Suzuka 8-Hours sees some of Japan's finest joined by the likes of Kevin Schwantz, Jonathan Rea, Randy de Puniet, Josh Brookes, and Josh Waters. It can be hard to follow the race in Japan though, but we've got you covered for this year's event.
The Suzuka Circuit puts up a live stream of the racing sessions on Ustream, and the link is right here. There is also an official Twitter feed in English which you should follow. We have embedded the Ustream into this post as well…because the internet is awesome.

patent valuation
Is Rockstar patent peace paving the way for a clearinghouse?
A deal of this magnitude is proof that the conventional wisdom about patents is being turned on its head. Patents can be cleared on a large scale when valuations are reasonable and reflect the market demand.
A proactive approach to patent valuation: Map out where the gold lies
Inside IP counsel must ask: Is the patent creating value for the organization, or will it potentially do so in the future? These are tough questions, but they need to be asked—and answered—without sentimentality.
RPX intros first free search engine for patent information
This search engine is the first of a series of tools enabling public access to patent market data and intelligence
IP: Are we in the midst of a patent bubble, market correction or something else?
Patent values have increased dramatically over the past two decades.

Yes, you like to grow corn and talk about corn, but have you paid any attention lately to the soybean market?
At the end of the harvest season, beans are now at levels not seen since mid-September, and soybean futures climbed 80¢ since earlier in the November. Beans have some octane. And since $13 (beans in the teens) is your benchmark price, your marketing plan may need a jumpstart on implementation. Let's do that.
Corn has been relegated to a supply-driven market after five years of increasing demand. However, soybeans are still in a demand-driven market and are begging for attention, even though the lofty levels of last year's short supply are now history. Nevertheless the market is concerned again about running out of US soybeans unless some rationing occurs by exporters and crushers. Consequently, the nervousness of traders provides some opportunity for a soybean producer to take advantage of rising market prices. The key to success is managing your risk and not yearning for a few cents more at a time the market peaks into a long tail that is now characterized by the corn market.
Some farmers are out of beans because they saw $14 prices being offered for a good crop in early September. Good for them. Other farmers have beans on storage with no real marketing plan. Subsequently, interest, storage, opportunity cost are 5¢ to 8¢ per month depending on whether they are stored at home or in town. Iowa State University ag economist Steven Johnson also notes that you will likely have substantial income in 2013 that is taxable in 2014, so any marketing at this point should be done with the thought that income should deferred into the 2014 calendar year. Your marketing plan should also include a note about South American soybeans "getting off to their best start ever," which implies that global demand may not be a driving factor in the soybean market. When the export demand shifts to South America after the first of the year, the US cash market may be more of your friend than futures.
If you look at futures prices, the first thing you notice is that it declines. From the $13.39 on Nov 27 for January beans, to $13.21 for March, $13.00 for May, $12.91 for July, and $12.62 for August, that nearly 80¢ drop does not pay for storage. Consequently, storage may be out of the picture for your 2013 soybean crop, since it is a money loser. So, what do you do?
Johnson's suggestion is a minimum price contract, if Dad always said never sell beans in the fall. Some elevators will offer a minimum price contract, and you will pay a small merchandising fee for the elevator to set it up and execute it for you. You can do the same for yourself by selling your cash beans, and replacing them with a call option. Johnson says, "The concept is selling high (January futures) and replacing all or a portion of those bushels with something low (March futures). The logic might be in case South American weather conditions deteriorate and speculators continue to hold their record long futures contracts in that March contract." He says an at-the-money $13.40 March call option is 31¢, and buying it gives you the right, but not the obligation to buy March futures at $13.40. With any kind of a weather issue in South America, soybean futures would rally. If they reach $14, your call is worth 60¢ (minus the brokerage fee). Beware that March options expire about February 21 and action must be taken prior to then for it to return any value to you.
Your grain merchandiser can take care of the paperwork for setting up a minimum price contract that sets $13.40 as your minimum price and lets you take advantage of any further rally in the market from the increasing value of your call option. Your merchandiser should also tell you that if the market does not rally and your call option expires worthless, your cost will be the 31¢ premium.
Johnson also notes that if you are deferring any income into 2014, ensure that you are working with a grain dealer which protects you from any loss of money due to the fact you would be an unsecured creditor.
Soybeans have demonstrated a healthy rally from their harvest lows due to concerns about a shortage of soybeans later in the year in the US. While global demand will be fed from South America, any threat to production will be reflected in the US futures market. Due to the market's inverse for soybeans, which does not pay for storage, it may be wise to sell cash soybeans and maintain your ownership with a call option. Such a plan would protect you from any decline in the cash market and allow you to benefit from any rise in the futures market.

The 2009 Michigan Wine and Spirits Competition, held in early August at East Lansing's Kellogg Center, included entries from most of Michigan's 64 wineries judged by a nationwide panel of experts, including three master sommeliers.
Consumers benefit, as experts do the heavy lifting of winnowing down several hundred wines to a shorter list of Double Gold, Gold, Silver and Bronze Medal winners. At the top of the pyramid are six "Best of Class winners," a Judges' Merit Award winner and 14 wines achieving "Double Gold" status. These wines are dependably well made, clean, balanced and correct for their variety. (If a wine is a Pinot Noir, it better smell and taste like a Pinot Noir!) The judges do not know the identity of the wineries or winemakers when the wines are tasted, yet year in and out out, certain winemakers populate the top of the heap; they must be doing something right.
This year's Best of Class and Judge's Merit winners included six wines from Leelanau Peninsula and Old Mission Peninsula and an Ice Wine from Fenn Valley Vineyards, south of Holland. It is a testament to the quality grape growing and winemaking in the Traverse City Region. Close to home, Burgdorf's Winery, of Haslett, achieved its first Double Gold, with 2007's "Perfection," an eclectic blend of Michigan black raspberries and tart cherries.
Complete competition results are posted at www.michiganwines.com, but it is helpful to taste wines before purchasing.
Fortuitously, the Traverse City Wine and Art Festival held its inaugural celebration on Aug. 22 at the Grand Traverse Commons. Twenty-two area wineries and several diverse restaurants rimmed the edges of a circus-sized tent, while wine devotees sampled many of the Gold Medal and Best of Class wines. Forming a perimeter around the tent was a juried fine arts show, featuring many artists recognizable from the East Lansing Art Fair. On a stage off to the side, Okemos' own Thom Jayne & the Nomads entertained the crowd, along with other bands.
"Best of Class" winners sampled by this writer included Left Foot Charley's 2008 Pinot Blanc. It is a wonderful marriage of bright, sweet, ripe fruit and acidity in a dry-finished wine.
The State Champion semi-dry white is Bel Lago Vineyards 2008 Gewurztraminer, a personal favorite. It does not develop the sometimes-overpowering spice, which some people dislike about Gewurztraminer, but presents just the right balance of spice, fruit, typical Gewurztraminer flavors and viscous mouth feel.
Shady Lane Cellars took Double Gold with its 2007 semi-dry Riesling, displaying peach and honeysuckle with a nice acid backbone and a long, lingering finish.
Bel Lago 2008 Auxerrois, a silver medal winner, features an effusive and fruity bouquet, melon and apricot on the palate and a clean presentation. If you enjoy dry Riesling or a fruit-forward Sauvignon Blanc, give this rare wine a try. It would be a stumper in blind tasting.
The State Champion dry red wine from Gill's Pier, 2007 Cabernet Franc-Merlot, may cause some to question misconceptions about whether a ripe, concentrated Bordeaux-style wine can be made in Michigan. It has a deep, opaque purple color and concentrated black cherry and plum fruit overtones, all aged in French oak. I would defy most tasters to select this as a Michigan wine.
This year's Judge's Merit Award went to Black Star Farms' 2008 Arcturos Dry Riesling, another personal perennial favorite for its dependable combination of mouthwatering acidity and broad, soft fruit.
Black Star Farms' Be Dazzled, a Gold Medal-winning sparkler, fills the mouth with bubbles, a hint of sweetness and bright acidity. Think backyard party on a summer day.
The combination of medal-winning wines, good food, fun music and fine art made the inaugural Traverse City Wine and Art Festival a hit. Look for it again next August.

Digital-analog hybrids: We've heard lots of hybrid promises before, but the Prophet V literally combines one of the best-ever digital synths with a classic analog synth. Hybrid mode unlocks new capabilities by integrating the two, and it's what sets Arturia's Prophet apart.
Before wrapping up, a quick word is in order about the bound-to-be controversial copy protection. Arturia has switched from a challenge/response system of authorization to a USB dongle. While the dongle makes it much easier to run the software on multiple computers, the fact that Arturia requires it just to try out the software will surely alienate and restrict potential users. Furthermore, these things inevitably cause trouble for legitimate users. I was unable to move the authorization key supplied by Arturia into an existing Syncrosoft dongle, nor was I able to move my other keys into the Arturia dongle, so now I'm stuck having to use up two precious USB slots. Even worse, at times the dongle loses its connection with the software, necessitating its relaunch. How about it, CDM readers? Are dongles a necessary evil or just plain evil?
This is far from the first attempt to model the Prophet 5. Creamware, Native Instruments, and even one of the original Prophet 5 sound designers have all built Prophet 5 emulations, but the Prophet V is arguably the best, especially given the fact that you also get the Prophet VS and the fantastic hybrid mode. Like WayOutWare's TimewARP 2600, Prophet V belongs to a new generation of virtual instruments that take full advantage of today's processing prowess to deliver a sound that even the most synth obsessed would be hard-pressed to tell from the originals. While I remain a fan of analog hardware, this is one soft synth that will definitely be finding its way onto my own tracks.

Thanks to an upgraded body structure for the new model year, the 2014 Honda Odyssey recently became the first minivan in the country to earn a Top Safety Pick+ designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The new honor adds another front crash test to the IIHS regimen, this time for small-overlap impacts, and has proven too much for a surprisingly wide range of vehicles—at least for a lot of other brands besides Honda.
In fact, since the Honda Accord and Honda Civic also scored Top Safety Pick+ recognition, in both their two- and four-door body-styles, the brand can now boast an unbeaten number of vehicles that have achieved the rating. No doubt helping here is the latest iteration of Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure, which was part of a significant refresh to the 2014 Honda Odyssey. The structure was specifically designed to help manage more crash forces away from the vehicle's cabin in more crash scenarios, and it certainly seems to be doing its job.
"Honda's commitment to safety is perhaps best demonstrated by the fact that we achieved this high standard in a mid-cycle refresh of the 2014 Honda Odyssey," said Art St. Cyr, vice president of product planning and logistics at American Honda. "Honda's goal is to continuously advance the safety performance of every Honda vehicle to fulfill the trust our customers place in the Honda brand."
Other enhancements to the 2014 Honda Odyssey—at dealerships now starting from $28,825—include a restyled appearance and more entry-level content; already loaded down with dual-zone a/c, a rearview camera, Bluetooth for audio streaming, cruise control, and a 240-watt sound system, all models now come standard with:
- A six-speed automatic transmission for segment-leading efficiency
- Bluetooth HandsFreeLink technology
- An interface for Pandora Internet radio
- Front-passenger seating with four-way power-adjustment capability
- Integrated SMS text messaging
- Honda's "Expanded View" driver's mirror

Spies takes championship lead, Haga crashes in race 2
The German Round of the Hannspree FIM Superbike World Championship offered a number of thrills and spills at the Nurburgring as Ben Spies (Yamaha World Superbike) moved into the lead of the championship for the first time this year. In front of 42,000 spectators the Yamaha man took the race 1 win from Noriyuki Haga (Ducati Xerox), and his second place in race 2, in addition to a turn 1 crash for Haga, allowed him to open up an 18-point gap at the top of the table. Britain's Jonathan Rea (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) took his second win of the season with a commandeering performance in race 2.
Race 1
Spies notched up his 12th win of the season at the end of a nail-biting scrap with his championship rival Haga, reducing the gap at the top of the table to just two points. The Japanese rider powered away to the best possible start, but Spies managed to recover by the mid-point, when he took over at the front. With a couple of laps to go before the chequered flag, Haga made a slight error and the Texan was able to cut loose to take the win. Third place went to Carlos Checa (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda), who held off his team-mate Jonathan Rea for the final podium slot. There was another terrific battle for fifth between Max Biaggi (Aprilia Racing), Leon Haslam (Stiggy Racing Honda) and Michel Fabrizio (Ducati Xerox), who finished in that order. Troy Corser scored a positive eighth place for BMW, with the Australian running in fourth for much of the race before dropping away in the final stages. Stand-in rider Karl Muggeridge brought the first Suzuki Alstare BRUX machine home in 12th, but both Kawasaki riders were forced into retirement. Makoto Tamada was involved in an incident shortly after the start together with John Hopkins (Stiggy Racing Honda), and they were both taken to Adenau hospital for checks for slight concussion.
Ben Spies: "It was a good race, I didn't get a great start and I lost a little bit of time to get past Rea, while Nori got away a little bit and I really had to move to catch him. When I got Nori we passed and re-passed. It was tough because he was extremely fast in the first section. The bike started moving around quite a bit and then with three laps to go it was time to put the hammers down and go."
Noriyuki Haga: "I'm not so happy, I wanted to win and I felt sure I could win that race. I tried to overtake Ben everywhere but in some parts he was quicker than me and in some parts my bike was quicker than his, but I couldn't get past him, he was a little faster than me so I had to settle for second place. "
Carlos Checa: "Yesterday qualifying wasn't so good but we knew we had a good pace and a good feeling with the bike. I didn't feel so well this weekend either. My start wasn't good, but we had the pace during the race. And starting from behind it was fun, a good fight until the end with Johnny. So it's quite positive and I'm very happy."
Race 2
The Hannspree Ten Kate Honda team returned to the top of the podium in the second encounter, thanks to a superb race by Jonathan Rea, who scored his second season win after the one at Misano. The British youngster finished just ahead of Spies, who thanks to Haga's turn 1 crash when he made contact with Rea, is now the points leader. 18 points lie between the two, with the title battle wide-open. Third place again went to Checa, ahead of Biaggi, who had another convincing run, this time to fourth, and Haslam in fifth. Corser was again one of the protagonists, with a sixth place finish for BMW. It wasn't a particularly good day for Fabrizio, who added a ninth place in race 2 to his seventh earlier on, the Italian finishing behind Ryuichi Kiyonari (Ten Kate Honda) and Tom Sykes (Yamaha World Superbike). The final top-10 position went to Yukio Kagayama (Suzuki Alstare BRUX), while Kawasaki could only manage three points overall in the German race weekend, thanks to a thirteenth place in the second race by Broc Parkes.
Jonathan Rea: "I tried to ride my own race and mind my own business. I got a really bad start and had to get a bit aggressive with people in turn 1 because I had to regroup and come from a long way back. I had to put moves down quick, because I really messed up race 1 which was all my fault. We changed nothing in between, my guys sat me down and explained exactly what I had to do to win. I gave it all today, the package was really strong."
Ben Spies: "The track was a lot cooler and it was definitely much quicker. I didn't get off the line good and a bunch of people came round me in turn 1 and I lost almost two seconds to the lead. I came up to the front but by the time I got there I just didn't quite have the rear grip to get out of the corners in the last five laps. Johnny was not making any mistakes so hats off to him for winning. It wasn't my race, but we've got the championship lead now."
Carlos Checa: "I did such a really great start I couldn't believe it! Then I had a fight with Haga and Johnny passed me, he was quite strong. I tried to follow him until the end when I lost some metres. Ben also had some good pace and I saw that it was impossible to keep his pace but anyway third place is a good result for me and the team."
World Supersport
Cal Crutchlow (Yamaha World Supersport) scored another undisputed win in the 11th round of the championship at the Nurburgring. The points leader appeared to have an extra gear over his rivals right from the start of the weekend and showed it during the race when he immediately pulled away at the start and went on to take the chequered flag by 10 seconds. The next men to finish were Eugene Laverty (Parkalgar Honda)and Joan Lascorz (Kawasaki Motocard.com), who engaged in a terrific scrap for the runner-up slot. Thanks to his second place Laverty keeps Crutchlow's lead down to 22 points with three rounds remaining. Massimo Roccoli (Intermoto Czech Honda) put in a good run to fourth place, the Italian holding off the attacks from Fabien Foret (Yamaha World Supersport). A bad start ruined the race of Garry McCoy (Triumph ParkinGo), but the Australian managed to finish eighth at the flag, while Kenan Sofuoglu (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) looked as though he might challenge Crutchlow in the early laps but then crashed out and later retired.
Superstock 1000
Xavier Simeon (Ducati Xerox Junior Team) looks to be well on the way to winning this year's Superstock 1000 FIM Cup title after the Belgian youngster scored a lights to flag victory, his third in a row. Simeon now has a 40-point advantage over his closest rival Claudio Corti (Suzuki Alstare BRUX), who could only finish fifth. The runner-up slot went to Maxime Berger (Ten Kate Honda), who put together an incredible recovery from 16th position on the grid. Another positive podium place went to Javi Fores (Kawasaki Pedercini), while Davide Giugliano (Suzuki Celani) prevailed in a quartet of battling Italians, Corti finishing ahead of Daniele Beretta (Ducati Xerox) and Andrea Antonelli (Yamaha Trasimeno).
Superstock 600
Vincent Lonbois (MTM Yamaha) scored his second win in a row in the Superstock 600 class, and now becomes the leading rival for the European title to Danilo Petrucci (Yamaha Trasimeno). The Italian limited the damage with the runner-up slot, but is now only 8 points ahead of the Belgian with three rounds remaining. Third place went to Marco Bussolotti (Yamaha Trasimeno), who took the flag ahead of Eddi La Marra (Honda Lorini), who almost got onto the podium. Britain's Gino Rea (Ten Kate Honda) could only finish sixth and is now 24 points down on Petrucci, while Frenchman Jeremy Guarnoni (MRS Yamaha) crashed out of the race.

Cook: Mancini prioritising defensive problems
Roberto Mancini will be seeking searching answers to the reasons behind Manchester City's defensive weaknesses as he begins to stamp his own image on the squad left to him by Mark Hughes, chief executive Garry Cook has told ESPN Soccernet.
Having invested heavily in defenders, including £22 million for England centre-back Joleon Lescott, £16 million for Arsenal's Kolo Toure as well as £12 million for left-back Wayne Bridge, the club have been leaking goals of late - a factor that contributed to the downfall of Hughes.
Mancini will be paying special attention to defensive issues and will turn to the club's enormous financial resources in the January transfer window if the problem is more profound than originally thought.
Chief executive Gary Cook has told ESPN Soccernet that despite the club again being linked with a string of new players, Mancini has not yet made up his mind about his transfer targets, although he is focused on stemming the flow of goals conceded by the club.
Cook said: "Having spoken at length with Roberto, there is a determination from the new manager to find the solutions to the defensive problem.
"We're all concerned that the team have conceded a lot of goals of late. Is it bad luck? Is it the possibility that the team have not been organised well enough? Is it down to the individuals? Of course, we do have injuries so it won't be that easy to assess, and we don't have a lot of time. That is something for the manager. All I can tell you is that Roberto believes he can get a lot more out of the players he already has."
"I am sure he will have a view after a week or ten days and then we shall talk at greater length. There is an odd sort of assessment about what actually happens at this football club, and who chooses the players, who signs them. I would think it is very much the same as most clubs. We have a group who sit down to discuss the manager's report and act accordingly, as simple as that."
City have been linked with all manner of players since Mancini's arrival, including Inter Milan youngster Mario Balotelli, defender Maicon, Juventus centre-back Giorgio Chiellini and Sampdoria's controversial striker Antonio Cassano.
Cook expects Mancini to continue City's extensive investment in their playing staff in January, particularly given Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Adebayor will be departing for the African Nations Cup.
"I have no idea yet what Roberto will want in terms of new players," Cook said. "He will assess the current squad over the next ten days and couple of games and then I am sure he will come to us with some ideas - whether he wants to strengthen in January - but I would imagine with the African Nations and some injuries, it is certain he will want some new players."
A source close to Mancini, and who has known him for many years, believes that the new manager will already be well advanced in the process of making his assessment of the City players.
The insider revealed: "Roberto has spoken to [Sven-Goran] Eriksson, [Carlo] Ancelotti and [Gianfranco] Zola as well as others he knows in the Premier League. He will have already got a dossier on all the players. There are some of the players linked to him that I know he will like but he will give everyone a chance at the club.
"Someone like Lescott, for example, will need to prove themselves to Roberto, as will all the players. If there are defensive weaknesses, then Roberto will sort them out."
