Eco Building Products Receives Customer Purchase

Eco Building Products continues to provide protected lumber, now meeting building code requirements for wood-rot decay and termites coupled with the industry's first mold and fire protection in an all in one application for the entire structure. E Build & Truss continue to supply superior framing services building a quality product for Brookfield Homes. The Company continues to secure additional home builder contracts leveraging the recent accomplishments of Eco Building Products, Inc.

"As the Home Builder news indicates signs of recovery and our releases continually increase our Eco Red Shield is making more and more news in the national supply chain. ECOB is very involved in the rebuild efforts on the east coast, hosting town hall meetings to educate contractors and homeowners on embracing defensive building practices and technologies like Eco Red Shield rather than rebuilding with raw lumber," stated Steve Conboy, President and CEO of Eco Building Products. "ECOB's press release last week introduced an open web floor truss built with Eco Red Shield lumber now QAI listed for Class A fire protection. This demonstrates another way of building defensive especially on the east coast for the Hurricane Sandy rebuild when other products subjected to water and fire cannot hold up as good as our open web assemblies," added Conboy.

The start comes on the same day that an interview Gasol gave the Los Angeles Times' T.J. Simers was published. In it, Gasol doesn't try to sugarcoat his unhappiness or lie about his motivations. He's just refreshingly honest that he doesn't see eye-to-eye with coach Mike D'Antoni -- who opted to put Gasol in the second unit because he prefers a smaller lineup -- but also says that he'll do his best to make it work while he is still on the Lakers roster.

"He has his philosophy and system, and the Lakers hired him," Gasol tells Simers. "It's not his fault. His philosophy is to play with one big guy and four guys spread out, so then he had to make a decision: Dwight or Pau?"
Gasol also acknowledges that if both D'Antoni and Howard return next season, it would be difficult for him to accept being back.

"It would be hard for me to deal with another season knowing the facts you just mentioned," Gasol said.

Gasol gave the kind of straight-forward answers you don't get much from athletes anymore. Contrast this to the answer Howard gave ESPN's Stephen A. Smith when asked about his departure, after repeated stops and starts, from Orlando.

"I'm not a crybaby," Howard told Smith. "I didn't try to cry my way out of Orlando. That was never my intention, or not what I did at all. And I understand everybody thought it was that way because of what was being put out there. I'm not indecisive. I love this game. You know I play it because it inspires me; it inspires millions of kids around me, adults and all. And, I'm going to have fun while I do it."

 "I've been hated on my whole life," Hunter tells Spears. "Why should it be any different now? I don't care. But if people aren't hating on you that means you're not making an impact. Prominent people in our country were hated on because they made an impact."

The circumstances of the coaching change were about as sloppy as possible. After Gentry was fired, players reportedly wanted assistant Dan Majerle to get the spot, while another assistant, Elston Turner, had been under the impression that he would be first in line after the Suns had blocked an interview to join Rick Adelman's staff in Minnesota.

Hunter does have support. Spears points out that Hunter got texts from Larry Brown, Rip Hamilton, Grant Hill and Rasheed Wallace, and has also spoken to Mark Jackson and Doc Rivers.

Spears notes that the Suns could have their pick of Avery Johnson, Mike Brown, Stan Van Gundy and Nate McMillan as their next coach, but Hunter is determined to try his best to keep the position.

"You got to fight," Hunter said. "No matter what, you have to battle and people have to know that win, lose or draw they have something on their hands. That's the way I approach this thing and that's the reason why they chose me."

If you're one of those fans who likes to keep an eye on what former Blazers are doing in the league, well, the Knicks have been disappointing for that, unless you really enjoy seeing what Kurt Thomas is doing (11 points against Sacramento on Saturday!).

That's starting to change, though, as New York's three other former Blazers are starting to work their way back into the lineup. In fact, point guard Raymond Felton is already there, having returned Jan. 26 from his right pinkie break. However, Felton aggravated the same finger Saturday against Sacramento, and there was concern that he could lost for the season if he suffered another break.
