- Got A Question?
Visitors to Los Angeles often find it hard to imagine, but bears, wolves, and other wild animals also call L.A. home. They are frequently found in the hills above many residential areas.
For one homeowner in West L.A., bear sightings were not unusual — having one lounge in the backseat of her convertible, however, was a bit odd.
This owner stored granola bars in her vehicle. One warm day with the car parked in the driveway, the scent of the snacks apparently caught the attention of a nearby bear, and it jumped into the back of the convertible, helped himself to the granola bars, and then decided to make himself comfortable.
Although no one knows exactly how long the bear was in the car, by the time he was discovered and he hastily took off for the hills, he had left a nasty, rancid odor in the car's upholstery. Home upholstery cleaning remedies and odor cover-ups proved to be of no use. The car owner soon discovered she had one option left: Take the car to an auto detailer well-versed in upholstery cleaning.
Auto upholstery 101
Leather and vinyl upholstery are in many ways easier to clean and maintain than fabric upholstery. Washing leather or vinyl with an appropriate cleaner usually removes odor causing bacteria along with any stains. Although leather and vinyl are porous, they are far less porous than the fabrics used in automobiles, meaning the bacteria and contaminants causing the odor and stains usually remain on the surface, allowing them to be washed away.
The fabrics used in most automobiles are different from the fabrics used for home upholstered furniture. Fabrics selected for cars are designed to withstand heat, cold, humidity, and most important, the sun's ultraviolet rays. They are also designed to hold their colors much longer than home upholstery because they are solution dyed with higher pressure and using stronger grades of chemicals and dyes. Further, the fabrics are selected first for durability. Most auto manufacturers want to know how durable a fabric is before considering it for their product lines.
We should also note that just as home upholstery styles change, so do they change in car upholsteries. For auto detailers, however, the big concern is not the colors or patterns, but the type of fabric installed.
For instance, for many years velour seat coverings were very popular. Velour is a type of velvet and as such can be somewhat fragile. Initially, caring and cleaning velour seat coverings could prove difficult. However, and fortunately for car owners and auto detailers, over time velour has become more durable. And what might be even more fortunate for cleaning professionals, it is not used as much today as it once was.

Instead of velour, fabrics made of nylon, polyester, and olefin fibers, or a combination of all three, are the preferred fabric choices for cars, boats, and other types of vehicles that auto detailers may be called on to clean. These are synthetic fibers that have proven to be durable, stain resistant, cost effective, and, with proper know-how and equipment, relatively easy to clean.
The most effective way to clean nylon, polyester, and olefin is by "wet cleaning" using a hot-water carpet extractor.
The type of extractor used and its versatility can play a crucial role in how well the upholstered item is cleaned.
For instance, a system that generates approximately 200 degrees Fahrenheit heat will help improve the effectiveness of the cleaning chemicals. Not only will the seat coverings look better, but they often dry faster and less chemical may be necessary, making the entire cleaning process healthier for the cleaning professional and more environmentally responsible.
An extractor with adjustable psi (pressure per square inch) is also recommended. Cleaning more delicate or older fabrics, such as velour, may require a lower psi so as not to damage the fibers.
As to the upholstery equipment selected, there are now several effective tools available. However, for ergonomic reasons, technicians should look for an upholstery tool that is light and cool to the touch. Some systems are now even triggerless. This can make a big difference when cleaning upholstery because having no trigger valve allows the technician to use the tool in multiple positions.
Final thoughts
It is not every day that auto detailers are asked to clean car upholstery because a bear has made the backseat his home. And it's true, for many auto detailers, upholstery and carpet cleaning is often a minor part of their service program. However, for those detailers who plan to offer more extensive upholstery cleaning and need to know how to handle just about any type of soiling, it is advisable to take advantage of the training and educational programs offered by such organizations as the nonprofit Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC).
Upholstery and carpet cleaning are science-based procedures. Understanding the science ensures that your customers' auto upholstery and carpets are cleaned properly, effectively, and safely, however the problems arose.

Hell yea!!!!! The guys deserve it! So amped now.
Good news! Also said it would be next to the Saints facility.@FletcherMackel
Dell Demps on NBA TV: if our new practice facility isn't the biggest in the NBA, it'll be the 2nd biggest and ready next year.
Hell yea!!!!! The guys deserve it! So amped now.
Damn that was fast lol
Hornets are further entrenching themselves into the city every day, love it.
Where is this supposed to be built at tho?
Monty, Dell, and Benson: OUR big 3!
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
ALso said this was the last year we'd be at Alario. SO it should be ready by next year? Oh hells yeah!
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
was hoping it'd be downtown but in the end really doesn't matter as long as it's top-knotch, and clearly there's a big benefit having it adjacent to the saints facility.
earhart will shoot the players out there pretty quick.
Can't wait to go to CiCi's and watch the construction.
"Times are not good here. The city is crumbling into ashes. It has been buried under taxes and frauds and maladministraions so that it has become a study for archaeologists...but it is better to live here in sackcloth and ashes than to own the whole state of Ohio."
Lafcadio Hearn (Inventing New Orleans: Writings of Lafcadio Hearn)
I still don't see why people care. It's not like the practice facility was going to host events or anything. It would be just another building people look at and wonder what it's like inside.
Don't seem like anyone complains about the Saints facility being on Airline so why not put the Hornets' facility there too?
I think he means why do people care whether it's downtown or on Airline.
Where would we take them before? To Westwego. I don't wanna go to Westwego.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
I think people are blowing my statement out of proportion. Obviously a new training facility is a must, but what difference does it make if the new one is downtown or on airline next to the saints facility. I'd rather them build the best training facility on Airline then a midrange one downtown. The cost of the land downtown would have to be much higher.
I'm going to steal this from nolasportskrewe post
distances for some nba teams from their practice facility to their prospective arenas:
lakers: 15 miles
clippers: 14-15 miles
blazers: 13-15 mile range
nola: 12 miles
sacramento: on site
golden state: 6 miles
phoenix: on site
utah: 3 miles
denver: on site

san antonio: 17-22 miles
houston: 18 miles

cleveland: 9 miles

If you want to utilize and take advantage of Champions Square, you should push for a theater for preforming arts, or something that would host events year round yet not be sports related. You need to think outside of the box a little. I think our market is at its saturation point for sport teams so something to target a different crowd would help open up that area to more people than normal.
I figured it'd be next to the Saints facility, so it would be easier for Benson to work with both his teams

As 2012 draws to a close, we're thinking back on some of our favorite rescue stories of the year. One of them has to be Dora's.
On a chilly day last holiday season, the ASPCA rescued Dora, a starving, matted little Shih Tzu with a severely injured tail. Back then, she was weak, terrified and emaciated.
But slowly, Dora began to gain weight and strength. She started to gain confidence, too, and as 2012 began, Dora's spirited personality started to shine through.
That's when world-renowned designer and architect Robert Couturier learned about Dora. A steadfast ASPCA supporter with three Shih Tzus of his own, he was deeply moved by her story. Within a week, he became her new foster parent.
"She slept in my arms the whole time on the way home," Robert remembers. "It was as if she could finally sleep, and that she knew nothing bad was ever going to happen to her anymore."
At his Connecticut country house, Robert introduced Dora to his boyfriend, Jeffrey, who fell in love with her immediately. Then he gave Dora a toy. She took it to her crate and looked at him with wide, cautious eyes, as if to ask: Is it OK for me to keep something of my very own?
"Of course it's OK," Robert told her, his heart breaking a little. He scooped her up and carried her with him all evening, just as he does now whenever they are together.
These days, Dora sleeps between her guardians' pillows and enjoys playing with her favorite canine sibling: five-year-old Hercule, who fell head over heels for her the first day they met. "He's her knight," Robert jokes.
In October, Robert and Jeffrey adopted Dora. That makes it official: For the first time in her young life, Dora was home for the holidays.
If Robert's acts of kindness don't melt your heart, we don't know what will. We're so glad these two found each other!
If you'd like to help animals like Dora—those who are still out there, waiting to be saved—please give to the ASPCA here. (Psst: Give before January 1 and you'll snag a last-minute tax break.)
And if you've got a great 2012 rescue story of your own, tell us in the comments!
The beautiful photo of Mr. Couturier and his adopted dogs swelled my heart. I am so totally happy for sweet Dora who had such a horrific start in life. The generous and kind Mr. Couturier has replaced cruelty and selfishness with love, kindness, care, and respect. He deserves every animal lover's gratitude and praise.
Robert and Jeffrey, you are such good men for your loving kindness. Dora is so lucky to be with you. She is a little angel. Congratulations to you both on the aodption of Dora.
What a wonderful and moving story!
Robert and Jeffrey: you both are the TOP.
Greetings from the Netherlands (EUR)
THANK YOU and may God bless you! I'm sure this little girl know how lucky she is. I often think that they rescue us instead of us rescuing them. <3
When I read this story, tears came to my eyes. Two yrs ago I was given a Shih Tzu by a lady who had adopted him for her parents then found that they didn't want a dog. His name is Sam and he is the light of my life. My lil man sam.
So happy that Dora found someone who will love and care for her. My two little adoptees are the light of my life.
In late 2005, I lost one of my beloved cats (Bastet) to complications related to old age. Her little sister Matisse was sad and lonely; she needed a new sibling. I visited a local shelter with NO intentions of adopting a cat that day; I was just going to "look around." I wanted a Himalayan or Siamese, female only.
However, as soon as I opened the door at the local cat hospital, I heard a kitten crying. LOUD! I looked at the friend who was visiting with me and said, "That's my cat."
Following the mournful cry, I found a sort of cute kitten in a pet carrier. When we opened the carrier door, I found NOT a Himalayan, nor Siamese, nor a girl.
I found a tiny, frightened Maine Coon boy. He was eight weeks old, and so very lonely and scared. When I picked him up, he stopped crying and held on to me for dear life.
Upon investigation, I learned that the little boy's mother had been abandoned in a trailer park. She passed away, but not before giving birth to three kittens.
I fell in love with the little boy, and decided to adopt him. His name is da Vinci after my favorite artist and inventor.
I'm grateful that the universe led only me to da Vinci because he developed a health issue -- manageable, but an issue that one needs to know how to look for. Before we got his problem under control, I spent several nights with him (at different times) in the local veterinary ER. I believe that if someone with less experience with cats had adopted my baby that he might have died.
Today, my big, beautiful Maine Coon enjoys his home, his big sister Matisse whom he adores, good food, safety, and only occasional needs for medicine. He and Matisse are very best friends -- and the loves of my life.
If you are doubt about adopting a pet, then please speak with an adoption counselor at ASPCA or other local organization to find out if you're ready for a pet. You need to understand about pet care, what they need to feel happy and secure, and about how much you'll need to spend in health maintenance each year, including good-quality food, vaccinations, dental visits, and (hopefully) rare vet visits for medicine.
Happy New Year from da Vinci, Matisse, and Vicky!
Thank God for people like you ,Robert. For as long as I live I will never understand how anyone could mistreat such an innocent animal.
You two gentlemen are simply the best and all heart. I love you and your story taking in a sweet dog who needed you and you love.
Your recent ad that plays the sacred song, Silent Night, is so offensive that it mutes all of your good intentions. I could never support you since you have such a hatred for that that we hold sacred.

Programmers from the University of Manitoba have developed a very Canadian robot: one that can play hockey.
"Jennifer" is less than a year old and only 58 centimetres tall, but she already knows how to skate on ice, move a puck around with her miniature hockey stick, and shoot forehand and backhand.
"To our knowledge, no one else has made a humanoid robot play hockey before, especially ice hockey," Chris Iverach-Brereton, who programmed Jennifer, told CBC News on Wednesday.
Jennifer the robot is named after Jennifer Botterill, a Canadian three-time Olympic gold medal hockey player.
Iverach-Brereton, a computer science graduate student at the University of Manitoba, has been programming the $12,000 humanoid - a robot that resembles and mimics a human - to see how it can handle rough terrain.
"Still very much unsolved is uneven surfaces like the snow outside, or gravel road, or forest paths or something like that," said Jacky Baltes, who is Iverach-Brereton's supervisor at the university's Autonomous Agents Laboratory.
Baltes said using a sports theme pushes engineers and programmers to create robots that can do more than just move forward and backward.
"For soccer, for example, I have a dozen motions like turn left, turn right, forward, backwards, kick left, kick right," said Baltes, a former Olympic speed skater who represented Germany in 1984 and 1988.
Jennifer is the University of Manitoba's entry into the 2012 DARWIN-OP Humanoid Appliance Challenge, which takes place in the United States in May.
Chris is a former Computer Science Undergraduate Co-op student.

Home and garden go from shambles to showplace
The Snohomish garden will be featured on a tour Sunday
Sean Ryan / The Herald
Gary and Ardie McLean's garden is one of eight featured on the Snohomish Garden Club Tour.
Contributed photo
Gary and Ardie McLean did a lot of work to spruce up their home and garden. This is what it looked like before.
Sean Ryan / The Herald
This ginkgo tree was planted on the property in 1947 by the homeowner at the time in honor of her son who was killed in World War II.
Sean Ryan / The Herald
Clematis climb along the fence at the front of the house.
The yard was an overgrown jumble. The house was in shambles.
It was a shack compared to the sprawling suburban home that Ardie and Gary McLean had built as their dream home, what they thought was their forever home.
When the economic downturn in 2009 forced them to downsize, the couple looked forward, not back. They transformed the sorry little shack into a showplace.
"We literally restored it from the inside out," Ardie McLean said.
Behind the white picket fence that Gary McLean built is one of eight gardens featured on the Snohomish Garden Club Tour on Sunday.
The garden tour features a mix of urban and spacious rural gardens.
"It has a bit of both, so everybody will have some type of garden they can take ideas from," said Fred Rowe, tour spokesman.
The McLean garden has a small but mighty footprint.
"We kind of have an Asian thing going on," Ardie McLean said.
For the event she made origami butterflies to give to visitors, who can also tour part of the home after strolling through the narrow side-yard garden.
The garden design was inspired by a ginkgo tree planted in 1947.
"The ginkgo was planted shortly after the war ended. One of the sons in the war didn't come back. It was planted in his memory," Ardie McLean said.
"The ginkgo is a symbol of peace. It is one of oldest living species of trees on Earth."
The ginkgo tree is a male, so it doesn't produce the fruitlike seed with the horrid smell.
"When it gets to a certain cold degree, all the leaves start falling at once," she said. "It's like rain. All the leaves come down in one swoop of bright gold."
The side fence Gary McLean built offers a wall of sorts to decorate. A potting shed he constructed from attic planks holds all the needful things.
The garden is manicured to the hilt.
"My kids tease us. 'They go, 'Oh, there's a weed,'" Ardie Mclean said. "We mulch religiously."
The rear yard is a "young yard" in terms of new plantings and of the targeted audience.
"We wanted a little area with grass for the grandkids," she said. "We wanted an area where they could have a little swimming pool or sprinklers."
The garden is the couple's retreat from all the noise of work. He's an agent with Windermere Real Estate/East in Kirkland. She is the coronary unit coordinator at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett.
"I listen to monitors on my shift," she said. "The garden is my oasis and therapy to get away from the beepings. I come out and listen to birds.
"I like to listen to the parachuters. Harvey Field is right over there. They jump and go 'Wahoo.'"
The name on plaque on the front of the house is Goff, not McLean. In keeping with Snohomish tradition, a home on the historic register is named after a previous occupant. Lydia Goff had the place for 50 years.
"She was one of the first people who had a telephone. Old-timers remember coming in to use her phone," Ardie McLean said.
Lydia Goff was also a piano teacher. "The old-timers remember coming in and taking piano lessons from Mrs. Goff," she said.
Mrs. McLean felt a connection to Goff.
"I play the piano and it had room for my baby grand piano. Not many houses like this do."
Music. Birds. Gold trees.
Long story short: The place turned out to be the couple's true dream home.

GREAT FALLS – The Bible tells us of a crucifixion that took place nearly 2,000 years ago on a hill called Golgotha in Jerusalem.
Three men were crucified on wooden crosses placed on the hillside.
On one cross was a vile, arrogant man who was completely unremorseful for any wrongdoing. On the other cross hung a man who was guilty of a crime but sought repentance and mercy and found it.
On the center cross hung Jesus Christ who was completely innocent of any crime or action that was considered sin.

Free Picks: Service Plays for Wednesday, July 9
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Wednesday, July 9
Jimmy Boyd
Miami Marlins +116
The Marlins are showing great value in Wednesday's series finale against the Diamondbacks. The Marlins are fresh off a win last night and are a respectable 5-3 over their last 8 overall. Arizona on the other hand is just 3-6 in their last 9.
Miami's Nathan Eovaldi is a respectable 5-4 with a 3.91 ERA and 1.252 WHIP over 18 starts, but what I like is that he's 2-0 with a 2.65 ERA and 1.059 WHIP over 3 career starts against Arizona. The Diamondbacks will be countering with Josh Collmenter, who comes in off an ugly start against Atlanta, where he allowed 5 runs on 11 hits in just 6 innings.
Arizona is just 4-11 in their last 15 games revenging a loss to an opponent as a home favorite, just 4-10 in their last 14 home games as a favorite of -125 to -175 and a mere 8-26 in their last 34 games against a NL starting pitcher with an ERA between 3.50 and 4.20. These three trends combine to form a strong 75% (47-16) system in favor of the Marlins.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Wednesday, July 9
Jeff Alexander
Kansas City Royals +107
The Royals fell yesterday but are 4-1 in their last 5 following defeat. They're also 12-5 in their last 17 on the road and 8-3 in their last 11 as a road dog. The Rays are just 6-15 in their last 21 home games versus winning teams and 1-5 in Cobb's last 6 home starts. Cobb hasn't been nearly reliable enough with a 4.37 home ERA on the season and a 7.20 ERA over his last 3 starts. He's also struggled versus the Royals, posting a 5.04 ERA in 4 career starts against them. Ventura has been at his best on the road where he has a 2.32 ERA, and he's in great form with a 2.33 ERA over his last 3 starts. Ventura has faced the Rays once and held them to no runs on 2 hits in 6 innings earlier this season. The Royals are 9-3 in the last 12 meetings.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Wednesday, July 9
Marc Lyle
Los Angeles vs. Detroit
Play: Under 7½
I will be taking the under this afternoon between the Detroit Tigers and the LA Dodgers. Today we have two stud pitchers facing off in the early game after a barrage of runs last night. Add in that Cabrera will be sitting for rest and Martinez is still struggling with injuries, making a very potent part of that Tigers offense inactive.
Max Scherzer is in mid summer form and in his last 3 starts has gone 2-0 with a 1.71 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP. On the other side you have Greinke who has been giving up some runs with a 2-1 record in his last 3 but an ERA of 3.05. The fact that Cabrera and V Mart are not playing will of course greatly help Greinke. I will have to back the under in this early afternoon pitching duel.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Wednesday, July 9
Jack Jones
Miami Marlins +116
The Miami Marlins have been one of the most underrated teams in the league this season. They have gone 44-46 to this point while hitting .257 and scoring 4.3 runs per game. The Arizona Diamondbacks are one of the worst teams in baseball at 38-54, and they cannot wait to get to the All-Star Break.
Nathan Eovaldi has been a big part of Miami's success this season. He has held his own on the mound, going 5-4 with a 3.91 ERA and 1.252 WHIP over 18 starts. Eovaldi is 2-0 with a 2.65 ERA and 1.059 WHIP in three career starts against Arizona as well.
Josh Collmenter has been decent this season for Arizona, going 7-5 with a 3.98 ERA and 1.285 WHIP over 15 starts and five relief appearances. He sports a 4.18 ERA in his 15 starts and a 3.86 ERA and 1.653 WHIP in his last three. He has allowed 27 base runners over 17 1/3 innings in his last three outings.
Arizona is 8-26 (-19.8 Units) against the money line vs. an NL starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.50 to 4.20 over the last two seasons. The Diamondbacks are 4-11 (-10.9 Units) against the money line as a favorite of -125 to -175 this season.

Dave Price
Atlanta Braves -112
The Braves are worth a small investment at this price with Santana getting the ball. He's been sound in back-to-back wins, giving up only four earned runs in 14 innings of work. The Mets haven't given him a bit of trouble. He's 3-0 with an ERA of 0.86 in three career starts against them. Two of the wins have come this season, during which he's allowed just one run in 15 innings. Gee is making his first start since May 10, which means rust is likely. The Mets are 1-4 in his last five starts as a home underdog, 1-5 in his last six home starts versus teams that have a winning record and 0-4 in his last four home starts versus the Braves.

River City Sharps
Washington Nationals -105
This is an interesting "regional" interleague matchup as the Washington Nationals and Doug Fister (7-2, 2.93) matchup with the Baltimore Orioles and Bud Norris (7-5, 3.62) Fister has been terrific for the Nationals and is 7-1 over his last nine starts, while Norris is making his first start since June 21st as he comes off the disabled list. The Nationals are 8-2 in Fisters last 10 starts and we think he represents a lot of value at the current price. Let's roll with the road team here!

Tampa Bay was good to us again last night as your FREE WINNER and continue to be undervalued by the oddsmaker. Rays have won 11 of their last 13 games and tonight send Alex Cobb to the hill. We have been on Cobb his last two starts, both wins, and will continue to back him as he is finally getting the run support that was missing, and led to his poor record earlier in the year. Take the home team Rays for another FREE WINNER.

Ben Burns
Miami vs. Arizona
Pick: Arizona
These teams have split the first two meetings of the series. The Diamondbacks won big in the opener before losing a heart-breaker last night. This should provide a solid opportunity for the Dbax to bounce back and grab the rubber game.
The Dbax are 5-3 (+1.2) when Collmenter starts at home. On the other hand, the Marlins are 2-6 (-3.8) when Eovaldi starts on the road.
While the Dbax have seen Eovaldi a number of times, Collmenter will have the advantage of starting against the Marlins for the first time. Note that he has tossed seven shutout innings of relief against them. Consider Arizona.

Steve Merril
Washington vs. Baltimore
Pick: Over
These two teams were rained out on Tuesday night and now the Beltway Series changes scenery to Baltimore where the designated hitter will now be in play offensively.
Baltimore's Bud Norris is coming off the disabled list for this one. He is 7-5 with a 3.62 ERA in 14 starts, but he has not pitched since June 21st. The extended layoff, combined with the rain out last night, might disrupt Norris' rhythm. Washington is averaging 5.3 runs and hitting .281 in their past seven games, plus they will now benefit from having the designated hitter as they can add another potent bat to the mix.
Doug Fister is 7-2 with a 2.93 ERA in 11 starts for the Nationals, however he has struggled against Baltimore with a 5.30 ERA in six career starts against the Orioles. Baltimore's offense is in fantastic current form, averaging 6.1 runs and batting .299 in their past seven games, including scoring 22 runs on 47 hits in their past three games. Both offenses should remain hot which will lead to a high-scoring game in Baltimore tonight.

Miami Marlins at Arizona Diamondbacks
Pick: Miami Marlins
The Marlins passed the gut check on Tuesday, bouncing back from Monday's embarrassment to score a 2-1 win behind little-used starter Brad Hand. Now they seek their third straight series win behind starter Nathan Eovaldi, who has struggled a bit lately but who has a 2.05 ERA in his last four road outings, is 2-0 with a 2.65 ERA in three career starts against the Diamondbacks. Meanwhile, Arizona starter Josh Collmenter allowed five runs and a season-high 11 hits over six-plus innings in last Friday's 5-2 loss at Atlanta.

Andrew Lange
Yankees at Indians
Play: Over 8
No question Brandon McCarthy has pitched better than his raw numbers but I'm not convinced a "fresh" start in New York is going to spark significant change. For starters, the move to the American League, particularly the East, is a significant step up in class. And with McCarthy being such a heavy groundball pitcher (55.3%) he needs a strong infield defense for support. He pitched behind a mediocre one in Arizona and it gets even worse in New York with the Yankees ranking near the bottom of a number infield defense metrics. Lastly, tonight's matchup vs. Cleveland is far from ideal with one of McCarthy's biggest issues this season being that of the left-handed bat. Even though he's been unlucky in a lot of respects, lefties are still hitting .323 vs. McCarthy. Josh Tomlin has been up and down this season and despite shutting out Seattle two starts ago his ERA is above 5.00 over his last six outings. Like McCarthy, Tomlin is racking up strikeouts at a decent rate but he also gives up a lot of hits and is prone to the home run ball (11 in 70 innings) due to his fly ball ways. Also note that rookie umpire Tom Woodring is behind the plate. He's called balls and strikes only nine times but shows some very hitter friendly numbers: 7-2 O/U, 62% strikes, 8.1 BBs per nine, and a ultra-low 1.84 K-to-BB ratio.

Chase Diamond
Chicago Cubs vs. Cincinnati Reds
Play: Chicago Cubs +1½ -150
This game features the 38-51 Cubs at the 48-42 Reds. No question Reds have been playing much better Baseball lately and the Cubs blew the second game of yesterday's double header in classic Cubs fashion. Dallas Beeler makes his second start for the Cubs today and he is the real deal. We are getting excellent value here on the Runline although I see the Cubs stealing this one. 74% of the public on the Reds and this line has moved 30 cents the other way.

Houston vs. Texas
Play: Under 8
The Astros play their instate rivals again tonight after drubbing the slumping Rangers last night 8-3. The Stros hit three leadoff homers last night and look for the 3 game sweep tonight. All this after only winning two times in 19 attempts last year vs Texas. Tonight is more about the pitching matchup, Houston sends Dallas Keuchel to the mound to face the Rangers ace Yu Darvish. Keuchel has a 6.50 ERA in his last three starts but, overall has been a pretty dependable pitcher for the Astros. He is a very respectable 6-3 with a 2.89 ERA on the road. Yu Darvish has been lights out at home winning six of eight contests with a 1.83 ERA. In his eight starts at home, seven have gone under the total. With the anemic bats of the Rangers and Darvish on the mound for them I like these teams to stay under the total tonight.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Wednesday, July 9
Ray Monohan
Oakland A's vs. San Francisco Giants
Play: Oakland A's -110
This will be Jason Hammel's first start with his new team and it will be in a big spot. The A's are cooking right now but lets not minimize this road game against their Bay Area rivals. Throughout his career Hammel has mostly pitched just OK for teams that were not much better. This is by far his best season so you have to wonder if it is an outlier. I am not sure but either way I like this matchup with Matt Cain, who is struggling again this season. The Giants just don't score much either.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Wednesday, July 9
Tom Grassi
New York Yankees vs. Cleveland Indians
Play: Cleveland Indians -1½ +175
The Books have the Indians as -120 favorites in tonight's matchup and after that strong performance against the Yankees last night (5-3 +150 Win), we are backing the Indians on the Run Line for a very solid +175 Payout!
Josh Tomlin is on the mound for the Indians and is coming off that very poor start against the Kansas city Royals where he gave up five earned runs in less then six innings and Cleveland ended up losing 7-1 as -110 home favorites. Look for him to bounce back strong and have another performance like he did in his previous start against Seattle where he pitched nine innings and didn't give up a single run for a 5-0 shutout win!
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Wednesday, July 9
Simon Green
Phillies vs. Brewers
Play: Over 8.5
The Phillies and Brewers have seen 5 of their last 6 games go over the posted total. Yesterday saw these teams combine for 16 runs. Today Lohse takes the mound for Milwaukee and he was hit around by Philly back in April. A game which also saw Lohse walk 5 batters. Hernandez is on the hill for the Phillies and he has been awful of late going 1-6 with an ERA of 5.45 his last 7 starts. I like this one to sail over the total as well.

Federal News Radio
In June 2007, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Satellite Operations Facility on the campus of the Suitland Federal Center in Suitland, Md. did something few other federal building had ever done.
NOAA's building earned a highly-sought after rating, called the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).
"It was one of the first buildings to achieve a Gold certification from the U.S. Green Buildings Council," said Paul Pegnato, facilities lead for the building in an interview with Federal News Radio. "The General Services Administration, as many of us in the facilities industry know, is the largest landlord for the U.S. government. They've taken a leadership position in requiring that all new federally constructed buildings have a minimum of a Silver rating with the Green Buildings Council."
There are many factors contributing to the NOAA facility's LEED Gold rating, but to fully appreciate them, Pegnato said you first have to understand the role this building plays in formulating your daily weather forecast.
He explained that this facility has direct control over the constellation of weather satellites, many of them in orbits of as much as 22,000 miles over the earth and track weather systems all over the globe.
Computer systems at the NOAA facility gather data from those satellites and turn them into maps and atmospheric charts used by the National Weather Service, private forecasting companies and the Pentagon to forecast the weather.
Part of the reason for the NOAA facility's LEED Gold rating can be traced to the way it was designed, said Tony Alonso, chief architect with GSA in the Design and Construction Division of the Public Buildings Service in the National Capital Region.
"If you look at this in the conventional manner you would build a building, you would build a parking lot to serve it, and you would build a satellite dish farm," he said in an interview with Federal News Radio. "But if you build it that way, there's a lot of impact on the natural environment. So, very early on in the design process, the architect suggested, let's move the parking under the building, let's divide the office space between the command-and-control center, and then the most daring thing to do, let's make the satellite dishes become part of the architecture."
In effect, Alonso said what they did was stack the building vertically, instead of spread out, reducing the structure's footprint on the Suitland Federal Center site.
Alonso said 20-foot-plus ceilings in office areas help dissipate heat, while innovative ventilation systems that deliver fresh air directly to each employee's desktop keeps the building comfortable.
He said another factor in the NOAA building's LEED Gold rating is the building features one of the first green roofs on a newly-constructed federal building.
"The structure of this green roof is a poured-in-place concrete dome, a nice, soft, sloping dome that merges into the landscape," he said. "You have a traditional roof membrane over that concrete deck, with insulation but above that, you have approximately six inches of soil, planted with a variety of seedum plants that are very hardy, and perform well, and don't require maintenance and mowing."
Alonso said the benefit of a green roof is that the usually vulnerable roof membrane is protected from excesses of heat, which in traditional construction deteriorates the membrane over time. The vegetation on the green roof also absorbs rain water that might otherwise run off a regular roof, and into storm drains, lessening the impact on municipal water treatment plants.
Back inside the building, NOAA's Pegnato said that shortly after the building opened, they learned an energy saving lesson that overturned the common wisdom about how to run a computer server room.
He said traditionally, computer server rooms are cold with their air handling units often set at 65 degrees or colder.
"What we began to realize, at least on the facilities side, is that the computers themselves, the hardware, doesn't require 65 degree temperatures," he said. "It really calls for 70-71 degree temperatures."
Pegnato said they haven't actually calculated energy savings from the move, but estimates that NOAA and GSA are saving on cooling costs with that 5-to-6 degree warmer setting for server room temperatures.
Pegnato added that in the coming year GSA will begin a program to actually meter electricity use in different parts of the NOAA building, so they can get a handle on just how much energy -- and money -- they're saving with the warmer computer rooms.
Also, NOAA is taking over a solar array from a neighboring Suitland Federal Center building slated for demolition. That solar array is expected to generate more than 100 kilowatt hours of electricity for the NOAA building.

Type: Bug
Status: Open
Priority: Blocker
Resolution: Unresolved
Affects Version/s: 0.9.7 M1
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: JDO
Number of attachments :
jdo.TestColAdd has a field item (ArrayList of jdo.Item), for which in the mapping we declare the method "addItem" to be used through the field mapping (as per set-method). As a aresult of this, TC28 fails at least in one place during rollback in a call to FieldMolder.setValue(). It fails simply because it tries to call TestColAdd.setItem(ArrayList) ... which happens not to be there.
Issue Links
- is related to
CASTOR-831 not possible to specify the pooling parameter "cache-scheme" for Oracle connects
Initial patch, proposing a resolution where in FieldMolder we additionally check for a setXX(9 method and if we cannot find one, throw an exception.
FWIT, tests run successfulyl on mySQL, but I honestly cannot predict whether above patch will introduce any side effects of unforeseen nature .. .
Have you tested if still the add method is used as default and not the set method that should be used as fallback only? There is at minium the side effect that users that worked with add method only (e.g. gregory) now are required to also implement a set method.
According to the side effects you mentioned I think we only should comment out the rollback part of the new test that fails.
Based upon the commens above, I'll revert the addition by Greg, and we'll revist the problem later on, e.g. for 0.9.9.
Addition reverted as indicated above.
So, where to begin on this?
The ability to handle and manage getters and setters is rife with trouble, at the moment.
- Having an addXXX() method does not remove the requirement of a setXXX() method
- In theory get/set is anathema to the add/iterate model; in addition, the current model, which allows for 'arbitrary' mix-and-match doesn't actually work out.
- addXXX() is all well and good, but when it comes to revert the object from cache, we're dependent on setXXX()'s presence.
One of two things is going to need to happen in order for this to be normalised.
1) We dump 'arbitrary' get/set/add combinations, and move to one of two handler pairs: It's either a getCollection/setCollection handler, which handles getting and setting of the complete collection, or an add/iterate handler which supports adding, iterating, and calling remove() on the iterator.
2) We start allowing the calling of private or protected methods, so that API which is critical to not make public can be created on the objects, but refused as public API.
Option 1) has the benefit of cleaning up a great deal of logic, in theory, across the board - method discovery becomes method-pair discovery, and it provides a nice place to push code for handling the brains of getter/setter handling.
Option 2) has the benefit, if widely accepted, of allowing people to designate non-public API as accessible by Castor, to allow for developers to lock down their API for other developers on objects without requiring expensive copy operations on these objects.
Status quo is, IMO, not an option.
I think with accesing protected or private methods or properties we can work around the problem seen but IMO its only a workaround. Therfore i suggest to discuss that at another issue. The real problem is the crapy access to collections. Like you, i think we should introduce different strategies to access collections but IMO there are 3 stategies to implement and they also depend on the collection type.
a) If we have getCollection() and setCollection() methods we can don't have the requirement for the getter to return the original collection. This is especially required if collection type is Iterator or Enumeration.
b) The third posibility will be used if we have getCollection(), addObject() and removeObject() methods. This also not requires the getter to return the original collection. and gives the user the possiblility to add costum code e.g to ensure that bidirectional relations are consistent.
c) With most of the collections only a getCollection() method that returns a reference to the original collection is enough. We can use the collections add() and remove() methods to modify it in this case. Care should be taken that the getCollection() method not returns a copy or clone of the original collection as this will break things here. Having said that I recognized some weeks ago that castor currently also has problems when the getCollection() method returns a copy of the original collection.
There are qiute some more strategies but IMO they are all variations of the 3 described above. That's also true for the iterator one you mentioned.
Patch has been reverted due to problem described at CASTOR-1147
