I have an extremely small bathroom with a 14 rough in on a concrete slab. The toilet thats in there now I suspect is over 30 years old. It sits 2 from the back wall (wasted 2) and theres barely 15 from the front of the toilet to the opposite wall. Very small bathroom.
1. Need to find a way to install a 12 toilet on this 14 rough in to reclaim the 2 in back of the toilet thats currently wasted space, without breaking up the concrete on this floor.
2. Need to find the smallest toilet (lengthwise) available to get as much space from the front of the toilet to the opposite wall. (smallest seems to be the Kohler Realto which is 25½ in length)
Ive heard about a rough in adaptor which can adapt a 12 toilet to a 14 rough in. Do you know where I can find it and can it be used with any standard toilet?
How I can adapt this 12 Kohler Realto toilet to the 14 rough in so it'll sit closer to the back wall (reclaiming that wasted 2") and also allow much needed space in front of it?
Thanks for any help.

Release: 07/08/2013
Five-time national championship coach Martin Smith is the new Director of Track & Field / Cross Country at Iowa State University, Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard announced in June 2013.
Smith served most recently as Head Coach for Track & Field / Cross Country at Oklahoma (2005-13), where he led the Sooners to 2007 Big 12 outdoor championship, their first in nearly 30 years.
Prior to that, he led or worked with track & field and cross country programs at Oregon (1998-05), Wisconsin (1983-98), Virginia (1980-83) and George Mason (1979-80). His coaching career started at Oakton (Va.) High School, where his team won a state title.
Smith's expertise and greatest successes have come in the distance events and cross country and that will likely be the backbone of his Iowa State teams, too. Smith will lead a Cyclone program poised to establish itself as a collegiate power for long-distance runners.
Smith's teams won national championships in 1981 (Virginia women's cross country and indoor track), 1982 (Virginia women's cross country) and 1985 and 1988 (Wisconsin men's cross country). In a 35-year collegiate career, Smith has coached nearly 300 All-Americans and his teams have won 25 conference championships.
Smith was two-time (1985 and 1988) NCAA Cross Country Coach-of-the-Year for the Badgers, and he has earned nine league Coach-of-the-Year honors in three different conferences. He was Big 12 Men's Coach of the Year both outdoors (2007) and indoors (2010) at OU.
In six seasons with the Sooners, Oklahoma set all-time Big 12 best finishes in all six of the sports he supervised (women's and men's indoor and outdoor track & field and cross country). OU won the Big 12 Men's Outdoor title in 2007 and added a Big 12 Men's Indoor championship in 2010.
The Oklahoma women's program had its best-ever finish at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championship (fourth) in 2011 and the men's program was fifth nationally in the John McDonnell "Program-of-the-Year" standings (conducted by the USTFCCCA) that season.
Oregon recorded 15 Top-20 finishes at the NCAA Championships during his tenure there. He coached 65 All-Americans with the Ducks and directed both the men's and women's track & field and cross country programs beginning in 2003 after the retirement of Tom Heinonen.
The Cyclone track & field program will focus on enhancing its brand as a premiere program in which to train and compete.
Smith is known as a relentless recruiter and superb program builder and motivator. His methods are well tested and successful.
Smith, a native of Alexandria, Va., earned his B.A. degree in history and political science from Bridgewater College (1974). The three-sport letterman for the Eagles was inducted into that institution's athletics hall of fame in 2004.
He is married to the former Renee Schwister, who has one son (Ross).

Today was a very special day here at PoolDawg. As some of you know, I'm the guy who handles all the website and marketing stuff. Generally speaking, everyone likes to keep me as far away from power tools and ladders as humanly possible. After 4.5 years though, I'm proud to say that I decided to take the rite of passage, man up and change the weight on a pool cue!
Up until today, the closest I'd ever been to actually changing a weight bolt was writing a note in the computer with instructions saying something along the lines of "please change to 21oz". Since we were shorthanded today, I decided this would be the day that I come of age.
I went to the back, grabbed a 19oz cue and took it to the weight change station. Carefully, I pulled out the rubber butt cap and peered in to see what kind of weight bolt lived in this Action cue. After a few tries, I found one of the things that goes into the drill matching the bolt. I made sure the drill was turning in the right direction (righty-tighty, lefty-loosey) and pulled the trigger.
Much to my surprise, it was a pretty easy process. The original weight bolt came right out, I found one that was the right weight, dropped it in the butt, flipped the switch and drill/screwed away! Even after my successful weight change they still won't let me near a ladder. They keep mumbling something about not being able to afford enough insurance to cover someone like me climbing a ladder. Not sure what's up with that since I see people on ladders here all the time…

Biotech helps grow big crop
Farmers smashed corn production records in 2009, despite growing the crop on fewer acres. And despite poor planting conditions, a cool and wet growing season, and an abysmal harvest that still has some corn standing in fields, American farmers set records for both yield per acre and total production of corn.
Pam Johnson and her family didn't finish harvesting their corn until early December, a month later than normal. When USDA released its annual summary for the 2009 crop last month, it showed that farmers nationwide harvested 13.2 billion bushels of corn, 2% more than USDA had forecast in November and 1% above the record set in 2007.
"My first reaction was that it just goes to show the great response we are getting from the new genetics and biotech traits — that we can put a crop in the ground and get a good result, although it's still sometimes a great battle to do so," says Johnson, a northeast Iowa farmer.
The record U.S. corn and soybean crops produced in 2009 were helped by biotech traits. But the advancements in seed are just one factor behind the boost in production.
Many factors make yield
Crops are helped by adequate rainfall and favorable temperatures as well during the growing season, notes Roger Elmore, Iowa State University Extension corn agronomist. Farmers are also getting better at management. "It all goes hand in hand," he adds.
Johnson, who farms with her husband and two sons in Floyd County and is active in the National Corn Growers Association, thinks the insect-resistant corn hybrids farmers are using now have stronger root systems, enabling them to handle dry weather periods and make the stalks sturdier.
Rebecca Fecitt, director of biotechnology programs for the U.S. Grains Council, says the continued use of scientifically proven biotechnology provided by life science companies will help increase corn yields, solidifying the need to continue developing markets for U.S. grains.
"We hope to see this upward trend in yields for U.S. corn continue," says Fecitt. "As science becomes even more sophisticated, it will help increase and maintain our yields. This will be instrumental in feeding the world's forecasted 9.1 billion people by 2050. The growing population, especially in developing countries, will demand more meat, milk and eggs as incomes continue to rise."
Fecitt adds, "We have to maintain our biotech education efforts, to ensure that grain derived from biotechnology is accepted around the world."
'Food vs. fuel' a myth
Producing a big crop in 2009, despite adversity, proves farmers can grow enough corn for food and for fuel, says Tom Buis, CEO of Growth Energy, an ethanol trade group. Growth Energy is made up of ethanol producers and others associated with renewable fuels.
The group released a statement saying the record U.S. corn yield in 2009 shatters the myth of "food vs. fuel." Growth Energy repeated its demand that "the Grocery Manufacturers Association should apologize for its multimillion-dollar propaganda blitz to spread lies about ethanol."
Adds Buis, "The January USDA estimate of a record U.S. corn crop in 2009 once again confirms what farmers and renewable fuel producers have known for a long time. Continued innovation in ethanol production and ag technology means we don't have to make a false choice between food and fuel. We can more than meet the demand for food and livestock feed while reducing our dependence on foreign oil by producing homegrown renewable energy."
American farmers continue to produce enough corn to meet both demand for ethanol and domestic demand for corn as food and feed, as well as corn for export and still have ample stocks of corn left over for storage, notes Buis.

06/28/2010 - To prevent development of drug-resistant bacteria that could infect people, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommended on Monday that livestock farmers use the drugs solely to cure or prevent disease in animals, phasing out their use to promote growth.FDA said research showed mixing antibiotics in livestock rations or feedlot water supplies "is not in the interest of protecting or promoting public health." Over-the-counter antibiotics have been routinely used for decades to promote livestock growth and feed efficiency.Emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria poses a serious public health threat, said FDA, so it is looking for ways to reduce overuse of the drugs.Antibiotics including penicillin and tetracyclines should be used only under the supervision of veterinarians to prevent or treat illness in livestock, FDA said in its 19-page draft.FDA made its recommendations in a first-round version of a "guidance" document, which represents the agency's current thinking on an issue. Guidance does not carry the weight of law but generally is adopted by industry."We're not expecting people to pick up this guidance and change their practice tomorrow," Deputy FDA Commissioner Joshua Sharfstein told reporters."This is the first step in the FDA establishing the principles from which we could then move, if necessary, toward other mechanisms of oversight, which is regulation," he said.***"It doesn't say when or how, but that's at least a small step in the right direction," said Laura Rogers of the Pew Campaign on Human Health and Industrial Farming.Read the full article, FDA Recommends New Limits on Livestock Drugs on Reuters' Web site.

NSO at Washington National Cathedral - Fri., Jun. 22, 2007, 7:30 PM
About the Work
Copland composed Appalachian Spring under a commission from the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation in 1944; the ballet was first performed in the Coolidge Auditorium of the Library of Congress on October 30 of that year, with choreography by Martha Graham, who also danced the leading role. The concert suite, arranged by the composer shortly after the ballet's premiere, was introduced by the New York Philharmonic under Artur Rodzinski on October 4, 1945, and won both the Pulitzer Prize in Music and the New York Music Critics' Circle Award for that year. Howard Mitchell conducted the National Symphony Orchestra's first performance of the suite, on March 28, 1948, and a few years later recorded it with the orchestra for Westminster; the NSO's most recent performances of this work were conducted by Leonard Slatkin on September 27, 28 and 29, 2001.
The score calls for 2 flutes and piccolo, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, timpani, long drum, glockenspiel, triangle, wood block, xylophone, snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, harp, piano, and strings. Duration, 25 minutes.
Appalachian Spring was the culmination of Copland's series of "Americana" in dance, having been preceded by Billy the Kid, with choreography by Eugene Loring (1938) and Rodeo, for Agnes de Mille (1942). In Appalachian Spring the composer struck a deeper, more poignant note than in the two "Westerns"; here the music is illumined by an inner glow of greater warmth than perhaps any of his earlier works. Copland himself noted that "the music of the ballet takes as its point of departure the personality of Martha Graham," and his score bears the affectionate subtitle "Ballet for Martha," which had been the working title until Graham herself found the felicitous phrase "Appalachian spring" in a poem by Hart Crane. The scenario, created well before she and Copland began their collaborative effort, was summarized by Edwin Denby (Copland's librettist for the 1937 high school opera The Second Hurricane), reporting the New York premiere in the Herald Tribune of May 15, 1945, as a pioneer celebration in spring around a newly built farmhouse in the Pennsylvania hills in the early part of the last century. The bride-to-be and the young farmer-husband enact the emotions, joyful and apprehensive, their new domestic partnership invites. An older neighbor suggests now and then the rocky confidence of experience. A revivalist and his followers remind the new householders of the strange and terrible aspects of human fate. At the end, the couple are left quiet and strong in their new house.
In place of the Western tunes he had used so effectively in the two earlier ballets, Copland introduced in this score a hymnlike Shaker song, or spiritual, that was to prove extraordinarily effective in creating precisely the atmosphere of simple wonder, humility and faith that is the essence of this work. The song, composed in or about 1875 by Elder Joseph Brackett (1797-1882), who is said to have sung and danced it himself "with his coat tails flying," is called "Simple Gifts":
'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free;
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be;
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we sha'n't be asham'd
To turn, turn will be our delight,
'Til by turning, turning we come round right.
(In 1950 Copland made a vocal setting of "Simple Gifts" as part of his first set of Old American Songs; this setting, for baritone and piano, was subsequently orchestrated and also arranged for chorus. Eventually the composer arranged his original use of it in the ballet as a free-standing orchestral piece called Shaker Variations. The tune bears more than a passing resemblance to the Hungarian folk song quoted in the concluding section of Bartók's Rhapsody No. 1 for violin, composed in 1928.)
The original ballet score called for only 13 instruments (flute, clarinet, bassoon, piano and strings), in keeping with the restricted dimensions of the pit in the Coolidge Auditorium. The music has become far more widely known in the suite for full orchestra, which omits only about eight minutes of the ballet score. (Copland orchestrated the remainder of the material in the late 1960s.) The suite's eight sections, played without pause, were described as follows by the composer in his note for the 1945 premiere:
1. VERY SLOWLY. Introduction of the characters, one by one, in a suffused light.
2. FAST. Sudden burst of unison strings in A major arpeggios stars the action. A sentiment both elated and religious gives the keynote to this scene.
3. MODERATE. Duo for the Bride and her Intended--scene of tenderness and passion.
4. QUITE FAST. The Revivalist and his flock. Folksy feelings--suggestions of square dances and country fiddlers.
5. STILL FASTER. Solo dance of the Bride--presentiment of motherhood. Extremes of joy and fear and wonder.
6. VERY SLOWLY (as at first). Transition scenes reminiscent of the introduction.
7. CALM AND FLOWING. Scenes of daily activity for the Bride and her farmer-husband. There are five variations on a Shaker theme . . . sung by a solo clarinet . . .
8. MODERATE. CODA. The Bride takes her place among her neighbors. At the end the
couple are left "quiet and strong in their new house." Muted strings intone a
hushed, prayerlike passage. The close is reminiscent of the opening music.
Like the Britten opera from which the opening music in this week's concerts was drawn, Appalachian Spring was one of a number of significant musical works created toward the end of World War 2 under commissions from American organizations. Another directly contemporaneous one was Béla Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra, commissioned by Koussevitzky, who also commissioned Peter Grimes, and in this case introduced under his direction at the end of 1944. In the context of these works and their respective origins--the Britten commissioned by Koussevitzky, the Copland ballet commissioned by Mrs. Coolidge and introduced at the Library of Congress, it is pertinent to note that in 1949 the original Koussevitzky Music Foundation, which had been founded in New York seven years earlier, established a second entity, the Serge Koussevitzky Music Foundation in the Library of Congress, specifically for the commissioning of new works and providing support for their performance.

'So, I need to get this off my chest. I have said before how I hate these Broadwayworld chat boards, but yet I occasionally take a look, only to get burned every time by some hater. Well, last night I went up on my lines during one of my #'s in Chicago. It happens... Well, wouldn't you know it, one of these chatroom bullies happened to be in the audience and was obviously frothing at the mouth to get home and blast away at me. "I cant remember lines", I'm not professional", "they feel bad for me"..blah blah blah.
Now, I am aware that because of what I do, I am a target for all sorts of judgment and criticism. I accept that. But for all the people who sit at home and use their words anonymously as tools to make others feel bad, so they can feel good, you will never feel good. Real happiness comes from within. As I learn this myself, I can tell you that with every drop of vitriol that comes from your lips, you are poisoning your own soul. I will sit here for an hour, be annoyed at what you said, do some deep breathing and then let it go. You, will undoubtedly stew in your own unhappiness and dissatisfaction with life, pick your next target, sit in the dark in the balcony, as you did with me and wait for them to make a mistake so you can once again, hide anonymously in front of your computer screen and say "Ha! see everyone..see, they're no good, they're not deserving of success, they're phonies".
The truth is, you could never in a million years do what it is we do 8 times a week. You would step out on stage and piss your pants. So Please hater, don't feel bad for me as you said you do. You need to feel bad for yourself for being the kind of person who gets off on trying hurt others.
Finally, to all my fans who will read this, please don't comment with defending me. I'm not looking for compliments or "yeah you tell em Adam". Just try and remember the sentiment, next time you want to use your computer as an outlet for bullying..'
Adam also later posted in reply to some comments
- Adam Pascal Hey Adam Goldberg you shit head, bullying is anything that makes someone feel bad, i was a fat kid who was bullied in school..last to be picked for the team...made fun of etc. i dont need you posting your websters dictionary definition. its my definition that counts, its my page! you can suck it asshole...you came here to tell me what i should and should not feel. ok lets not call it bullying then, lets just call it a douchebag in the audience. something you are anytime you step foot in a theater.

liked Friendsheet on his Facebook profile. But he said nothing about Pixable, a Web service and app that wants to become your new photo inbox. That's probably because Pixable has plans that extend beyond just Facebook.Last night, Zuckerberg
"Pixable will be your mobile photo inbox," says CEO Inaki Berenguer. "So people will check their Gmail accounts, then Facebook and then Pixable." Essentially, Pixable wants to become Internet users' photo inbox - a way to see the world "through your friends' eyes."
Pixable gave ReadWriteWeb an exclusive sneak peak at today's new updates, which live for now on new.pixable.com. Pixable made some big changes to the Web version of the site layout, making it more grid-like. Previously, the experience felt closer to clicking on Facebook photo albums. Now users choose feeds from the dropdown menus of Everyone's Photos, Friends Photos and Hashtags.
Pixable connects with users' Facebook and Twitter accounts, and grabs photos from Twitter followers and the Facebook social graph. Interestingly, only 2% of tweets contain media such as photos or videos - so really, Pixable benefits the most from Facebook photos and Instagram images, many of which appear on Facebook.
Photos are the future of communication," says Berenguer, speaking as fast as any New Yorker normally would. "You don't take photos for memories, but rather to communicate with your friends. People are in a restaurant eating a salad, they post it to Twitter. They go to a concert, and they post it to Facebook. It is not that they want to keep a memory for the rest of their life - they want to broadcast their life."
Why Using Pixable as a Photo Inbox Makes More Sense
I decided to test drive the idea of Pixable as a mobile photo inbox. In doing so, I found myself most drawn to the sections "most recent photos," "top of the day," "top of the week" and "top of the month." I had not seen all of these photos in the Facebook news feed, which I usually sort by "top stories" instead of "most recent."
One interesting aspect of the Pixable photo stream: Even if you hide a user from the news feed, their photos will still show up in these categories. So, if you hide some friends from the news feed because you are not interested in seeing lots of images from them, using Pixable to see those same visually oriented friends' images actually makes more sense. In that way, the Facebook news feed could be more useful as a text and article-based feed - and Pixable is where you get a Pinterest-esque layout of only images that you can choose to share out to Facebook or Twitter proper.
Unfortunately, if you decide to tweet an image, you will have to type in the Twitter users' handle - Pixable only tells you that it's "via @pixable." Here's an example of a tweet I tried to send out from artist @ellengreeneart.
"Eighty-five percent of daily users check top of the day," Berenguer tells ReadWriteWeb. In the world of digitalized relationships, this makes sense.
Pixable discovers a user's top photos of the day by determining the number of likes, comments and tags each photo has. So, the more sharing/liking/commenting each photo has, the more relevant it should be to you. As such, Pixable ends up being more about pre-existing signals than happenstance discovery of old friends or lost ties who a user might still be connected to on Facebook or Twitter. Pixable responds to your current digital identity.
Pixable, like any other Internet tool, does not know the intricacies of that particular relationship - it only knows what data a user provides it online. Your online identity is based on what you share. In other words, you are what you share online.
Another Useful Section: My Likes and Comments
Far too often, I hear people say that they jump on Facebook, comment and like a bunch of stuff, and then leave - yet later in the day, they do not remember what they even did on Facebook. There is so much content on this black hole of a social network that sometimes it is hard to remember what actually happened. Kind of like the digital version of a blackout. Pixable organizes all the photos that a user likes and comments on on Facebook under the "My Likes & Comments" section. This is a useful and passive way to quietly gather a visual repository of inspiring images, or just an easier way to keep track of what actually happened during that Facebook spree.
Pixable integrates Twitter photos from eight different repositories, including TwitPic, YFrog, Instagram, YouTube and Vimeo. Depending on how visually oriented your social circle happens to be, they may not be as prevalent in the Pixable photo stream.
"That is why our application is so addictive," proclaims Berenguer. "You have a need to consume photos because they are photos from the people you care about."
That is, if you tell Facebook and Twitter who those people are.

Occupation: Attorney Education: Texas Tech University, B.S.; Texas Tech University School of Law, J.D Legislative Experience: House Member, 1993 - 1996; Senate Member, 1997 - present Hometown: Lubbock Party: Republican
Senator Robert Duncan is known in the Texas Senate and his community for his tireless work ethic, keen understanding of complicated policy and stellar reputation.
Senator Duncan is a lifelong West Texan. Before calling Lubbock home, he was raised in Vernon, Texas. He is the only son of five children born to Frank L. Duncan and Robena Formby Duncan.
The will to serve others and make a difference influenced Senator Duncan at a young age. While completing his undergraduate degree at Texas Tech University, he served as Student Body President. Senator Duncan went on to receive his law degree from Texas Tech School of Law.
He was elected to District 84 in the Texas House in 1992. In 1996 he won a special election to the Texas Senate. During his more than two decades in the Texas Legislature, Senator Duncan has crafted major legislation impacting: water rights; healthcare transparency and affordability; the integrity of public investment funds; public and higher education; eminent domain; and the efficiency and effectiveness of our civil justice system.
Each legislative session since 1999, Senator Duncan has served on the Senate Finance Committee. He has routinely compounded that victory for West Texas by earning a coveted seat on the budget conference committee, which hashes out the final appropriations bill.
Since 2004, Senator Duncan has served as chairman of the State Affairs Committee. This committee addresses crucial statewide issues impacting all Texans. He was elected and served as president pro tempore of the Texas Senate during the 81st Legislative Session. Senator Duncan is also a member of the Natural Resources Committee, the Committee on Higher Education, and the Committee on Education.
Senator Duncan's efforts in the Senate have been highlighted by honors based on his work ethic, legislative accomplishments and leadership. Texas Monthly has five times named him among the state's 10 best legislators. It has also listed him as a "Texas Super Lawyer" for his professional reputation in the private sector as a Partner at Crenshaw, Dupree and Milam. Senator Duncan is married to the former Terri Patterson. He has two children Lindsey, a public school teacher, and Mathew, a student at Texas Tech.

Why did subprime mortgage borrowers make the choices they did, even when in many cases their decisions made them worse off than they were to begin with? To answer this question we need to take a closer look at how people determine what is most in line with their self-interest — and how they fail.
Self-Interest Can Be Led Astray
We continually draw on the process of detecting patterns and making order from chaos when we are trying to figure out which choices are in line with our self-interest. In order to choose effectively, we ask ourselves — consciously or subconsciously — How does it look? We're usually pretty accurate, but there are some systematic ways in which our ability to determine what's true might fail us, which can have dire consequences. Our pattern-detection abilities are just as good at finding apparent patterns in purely random events as they are at finding actual patterns. These tendencies can also lead us astray when the true pattern is more complex than we realize.
We also consult our emotions from the very beginning, asking ourselves, How does it feel? We use the information we collected in the former process as a backdrop for assessing our feelings about options confronting us and their potential outcomes, and we make the choice that we feel will have the most positive consequences. But as with pattern detection, there are some systematic ways in which consulting our emotions can lead to error. It's easier to feel the present consequences of a choice than its future ones, so we give greater weight to the former. However, decisions based on present desires may not be well suited to our modern world, where the ultimate goal is to be as satisfied with the long term as possible.
Buying Into the Illusion
So what kind of patterns and feelings were people detecting when they looked at the costs and benefits of owning a house?
Owning a home had traditionally been seen as a safe investment for the average person, almost guaranteed not to lose value over time. Indeed, the inflation-adjusted average home price had stayed almost constant at $110,000 (in today's dollars) between the end of World War II and 1997. At that point a new pattern emerged, with prices nearly doubling to about $200,000 between 1997 and 2006 due to a perfect storm of demand-increasing factors: low interest rates, the creation of new financial products based on mortgage income and aggressive lending practices to name just a few. Many local markets grew even faster, especially those in California, New York and Florida.
Seeing this dramatic and consistent growth convinced people that this was a truth about the world — that prices would continue to rise in the future. A nationwide survey conducted by Fannie Mae in 2004 found that 70 percent of Americans considered buying a home to be a safe investment, nearly double the percentage that considered a 401(k) retirement plan to be a safe investment.
Combined with the more immediate and tangible benefits that purchasing a home offers, real estate began to look like an amazing investment. People buying a home to live in for years to come were afraid that if they didn't act immediately their dream home would become dramatically more expensive, while speculators saw a golden opportunity to get rich quickly. They rushed to enter the market as quickly as possible, driving prices still higher.
But while the upward trend in housing prices could have been consistent with a pattern of constant increases in the future, or moving toward a new and permanently higher plateau, it could have been equally consistent with another pattern that is more variable and difficult to recognize: boom and bust, or a "bubble." In a bubble situation people feed off one another's enthusiasm, pushing prices far higher than the true value of the assets in question. Eventually it becomes clear that they're overvalued, at which point the bubble pops as everyone rushes to sell their assets.
Our pattern-detection abilities and feelings can serve as a powerful source of information about the subtleties and complexities of the world around us, but once we've come to see a particular pattern we subconsciously want it to be right. It feels better to think that we've unlocked the mysteries of the universe and of the future, and when the pattern promises wealth or other forms of success, as in the case of the subprime market, it's even more tempting to believe in.

Hi, Sheryl!!
I wanted to email you to let you know that we got our Hillsdale Bonnaire bed a couple of weeks ago. It is absolutely gorgeous, and my husband couldn't believe I had been able to pick such a gorgeous bed over the internet! LOL. We are very pleased with everything. The delivery guy was just awesome, and they got it out to me even a day earlier than they had set up for me, which was really nice. There was great communication with them, and you guys. I appreciate it so very much. I know in today's world that unfortunately you hear more negativity than you do positive reinforcement. However, I want to let you know that I was very happy with the whole transaction from start to finish. The bed looks awesome, andI cannot wait to begin buying the dresser, chest, and a nightstand to go along with it. I will definitely look to you guys in the future for other potential purchases. Thank you again, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend to come!
Kind Regards,

The Lakers problem is the coach and his system. This team is built to win, but the system needs to be changed. Phil Jackson would have been the better choice to coach this team.
Court Vision: Lakers' Jim Buss tries not to panic
By Ben Golliver
• The Los Angeles Times has the latest from Lakers vice president Jim Buss, who tries to project confidence and steadiness with his team sitting at 15-20, the 11th best record in the West. Quotes via a 710 ESPN radio interview.
"I like D'Antoni a lot. I still believe in him 100%. I have no questions about him," Buss said. "We just don't have enough information to analyze anything. It's just not enough data to put your finger on a problem."
"How can you not believe in this team? This team is built to win and it's a very, very solid team," Buss said. "In my mind, we would not consider a temporary fix or blow it up. Why blow up something that we have a future with?"
"To panic?" asked Buss. "No, we're not going to panic."
• Here's our SI roundtable examining the current state of the Lakers.
• Joseph Goodman of the Miami Herald reports that Heat forward LeBron James says the Lakers have nothing on the Big 3 when it comes to dealing with scrutiny.
"No one will ever be able to compare what we went through," James said. "Even though they're not winning and they're losing a lot of games, it's still nowhere near what we went through.
"Yeah, right. That level of magnitude was nowhere near where ours was two years ago. Nothing. Nothing compares to it."
• The big news of the week: the Maloofs are reportedly close to selling the Kings to a Seattle-based group with eyes on relocation. After some back-and-forth on the status of the negotiations, CSN Bay Area reported Friday that the sale is a "done deal."
I've heard from reliable source that the Kings' sale to Hansen-Ballmer in Seattle is done deal. Source said price of the sale is $525 million. The source said further that the Maloofs will have no stake or decision-making with Seattle team and are out.
• Ken Berger of CBSSports.com reports that Mark Mastrov is interested in buying the Kings and keeping them in Sacramento.
Mark Mastrov, the founder of 24-Hour Fitness who finished second to Joe Lacob and Peter Guber in bidding for the Warriors, told CBSSports.com Friday he has interest in buying the Kings and keeping the franchise in Sacramento.
"Definitely, there've been conversations," Mastrov said from his northern California office. "Definitely there's interest in acquiring the team and keeping it in Sacramento."
Mastrov met with the Maloofs recently, and two league sources speaking on condition of anonymity said he has made a formal offer.
• Clippers forward Lamar Odom tells Sam Amick of USA Today Sports that he's reached a better mental place.
Q:So where were you at mentally coming into camp?
A:A lot better. I'd had grief counseling, had been able to talk a lot of things that I went through out. I wasn't in basketball shape, but basketball was something I had to put aside to be Lamar. I'd been trying to do it by myself since I was 12 years old. And starting at 12, and even before that, basketball was a release. But then it got to a point where after 20-something years of that it, 30 years of that, I wasn't doing the same thing. It was time to deal with some of the issues, and I was able to do that. My head is a lot clearer. I'm getting my body back. A tough game or a hard game (doesn't rattle him), because adversity is something I'm able to deal with on any level.
Q:When did you do the counseling?
A:I would say springtime, but I really got serious in the summertime because I was overwhelmed. I wasn't myself. Whatever it may be, just my personality, the interaction, with the people that you love. I wasn't myself. I'm lucky. I have a good wife, a good family, and that's what they're there for – to shelter you, protect you. We're always somebody's baby, no matter how old we are.
• Brett Koremenos of Grantland has a very detailed breakdown of Blazers rookie guard Damian Lillard's passing skills.
• Gery Woelfel of the Journal Times reports that Brandon Jennings is settling in nicely with Bucks interim coach Jim Boylan, appointed after Milwaukee parted ways with Scott Skiles.
• Real GM has some interesting data on secondary ticket sales trends, which show the Nets (now in Brooklyn) as this year's big winner and the Bulls (minus Derrick Rose) as the big loser.
• Reports on Thursday indicated that Greg Oden was considering a possible comeback and the Heat were interested. On Friday, Oden's agent told the Miami Herald that the Heat have not contacted him. Meanwhile, ESPNDallas.com reports that the Mavericks are interested in Oden, who hasn't played since 2009.
• Trey Kerby of The Basketball Jones notes that La La Vasquez is sidestepping — and looking for ways to profit from — some rumored trash talk between her husband, Carmelo Anthony, and Kevin Garnett. Anthony was suspended one game this week for pursuing a post-game confrontation with Garnett.
• Nets forward Andray Blatche tells ESPNNY.com that he's "not worried at all" about an investigation of an alleged sexual assault by his associated in his hotel suite.
Brooklyn Nets backup center Andray Blatche says he's "not worried at all" about his involvement in an alleged sexual assault that occurred in his Philadelphia hotel suite early Tuesday morning.
Blatche was questioned by Philadelphia police, but not charged, according to Philadelphia police commissioner Charles Ramsey. An investigation remains ongoing.
"I'm not worried at all, because when the truth comes out, then everybody will realize what happened," Blatche told reporters Thursday. "You all are going to hear the truth sooner or later. It's just a bad situation. … When the time comes and I can talk about it, everybody will realize it's not what you think."
• Jonathan Abrams delivers must-read after must-read at Grantland. The latest: Sheed and Stack.
Rasheed Wallace was called for one technical foul in high school. Just one. Bill Ellerbee, Wallace's coach at Philadelphia's Simon Gratz High School, borrowed some thinking from General George S. Patton in his coaching philosophy: "The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in battle." He later conducted coaching clinics in which others asked how he dealt with talented players. "It's not what you do," Ellerbee would respond. "It's what you don't do. And what you don't do is kiss their ass."
• The Wizards announced on Twitter that point guard John Wall has been officially cleared to make his season debut on Saturday as expected. Wall has been sidelined with a knee injury.

The unique rubber surface wraps and moulds to your lifting bar, producing a robust grip, whilst the adjustable Velcro strap provides protection and comfort to hands and wrists.
Myprotein Ultimate Grips will outperform lifting gloves and lifting straps in the quest to improve technique and reduce grip fatigue, often the first reason heavy lifts fail early.

The Myprotein Ultimate Grips are a must if you have poor grip strength or simply just want to add a bit more support to your lifts! Brought these as an alternative to the versa gripps and so far so good! Use mainly for deadlifts and shrugs but they are good for various other exercises to! Would definitely recommend these grips!
Fantastic grip
- (12 / Sep / 2013)
I have been using regular straps for a few years now, but after trying these Myprotein Ultimate Grips I will never go back. The grip is awesome and they are so much easier to use as well. It will benefit all your "pull-movements" like dead lift, rows, pull downs etc.

I really recommend these grips, takes a bit of getting use to but now cant train without them! But I don't lift particularly heavy nor do I do many deadlifts and mine have today snapped (only the right one, the seam came loose a while ago so it's been coming)! I have had them for roughly 4-5 months so not too annoyed!
Great product
- (29 / Jun / 2013)
I used these Myprotein Ultimate Grips for the first time today and lets just say they led me to a new PR on dead lifts. I bought these as a cheap alternative to versa grips and they did not disappoint! They are so much better than regular straps and easy to get used to, I would highly recommend these.

The "Myprotein Ultimate Grips" are the only hand ware I use at the gym.

The Myprotein Ultimate Grips are okay for pull ups / bench press or anything that doesn't need any movement in your wrist.

Ultimate grips
- (05 / Jun / 2013)
I ordered these Myprotein Ultimate Grips because my forearm grip kept giving way so I needed some extra help. Since ordering these, my workouts have been more intense and I have better form with each rep. I would recommend these to everyone I know!
- (01 / Jun / 2013)
If you are going to lift anything heavier than 50kg dumbells or 100kg barbells I'd avoid these. I had them for 2 weeks before they snapped while I was dead lifting.
Awesome but cant keep them clean
- (10 / May / 2013)
I have been using lifting glove straps for the passed 5 years as i found gloves to be uncomfortable, make my hands oversweat and smell like socks within a few weeks.
These are actually fantastic lifting glove straps and the main section of leather has a great sticky feel to it which latches on to bars, bumbells and machines with minimal effort allowing me to lift larger weights and at the same time provide superb palm cushioning. I have XL wrists and find these straps will fit most people very well. following recommendation they are also being used by 3 other in the gym with smaller frames and they are just as happy as i am with them.
4 stars because after a few month i found the spongy material (which wraps the wrist) began to smell really bad and as the rest is leather it not possible to machine wash. I have tried spraying cleaning products but this only lasts for one or two training sessions before its back again.
if only the whole thing was leather or maybe machine washable it would have had 5 stars for sure.
stay with straps
- (17 / Feb / 2013)
I always try to use my hand, but as my grip goes I use straps. I had a pair but forgot them at the gym, so i was going to buy the standard straps again but saw these Myprotein Ultimate Grips. I thought I would treat myself. I'm not too sure why it's getting great reviews, but maybe it's just me. They don't go around your wrist tight, and I have big wrists, so it's never tight. Unlike straps which just hang, these get in the way of your hands if you're not using them i.e. you want to write down your reps and set, I had to take them off then put them on again. Maybe I should have given them more time but they didn't seem long enough. They were never a nice fit in my hand, or felt right in my hand.
Greatest gym product ever bought
- (12 / Feb / 2013)
After reading the reviews I decided to give the MyProtein Ultimate Grips a go as my wrists would easily give way when doing heavy lifting. I tried these out and can honestly say that these are by far the greatest gym product I have ever purchased. I increased my weights by a minimum of 20% without any discomfort and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for straps.

Her materials are plastic, and the method is crocheting, but all the same, the office manager at the Center for Concern in Anniston on Friday morning proudly unfurled a mat made up of 1,000 discarded grocery bags. It's Mayfield's hope the mat, along with nine others in the basement at Trinity Lutheran Church on Quintard Avenue, will make things a little easier for the homeless population of Anniston to sleep at night in the upcoming months.
"We thought it might add a little bit of comfort for someone who probably doesn't have a lot of comfort," Mayfield said.
Since July, Mayfield has been asking volunteers in Calhoun County's faith communities to donate plastic bags and their time to fashion them into sleeping mats for the homeless. So far the volunteers, who meet every Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church, have created 10 mats. Mayfield said it's her goal to make 28 before November – that's the number of chronically homeless people Interfaith Ministries saw regularly last year, she said.
Mayfield got the idea for the mats from Lena Colley, the owner of New Traditions Machine Quilting in Birmingham. Colley said she read about the mats in a publication put out by the Birmingham Baptist Association and found videos online of how to put them together.
"Bags are just going to be thrown away usually, anyway," Colley said. "It's something so easy, I crochet while I'm watching TV at night. And it can provide some comfort for someone who really needs it."
More than just some comfort, the mats are water- and mildew-proof, and lightweight, so they're easy for someone to take with them, Colley said.
Mayfield started advertising for volunteers in church newsletters a few months ago, and has a small group of regular helpers from several area churches.
"I think people are inherently kind, and they want to do something; they just don't always know what to do," Mayfield said. "Everybody has plastic bags from Walmart or Publix. It's so easy to just donate those."
It's easy to learn to crochet as well, Mayfield said, although it is time-consuming. She estimates it takes about 10 hours to cut the bags into strips and tie them together into plastic strands, and another 20 to fully crochet a 6 foot mat, complete with a carrying loop.
Eleanor Henderson, a volunteer from Sacred Heart Church in Anniston, said that when she heard about the project, she was skeptical the mats would come together.
"You're going to use Walmart and Dollar Tree bags and make sleeping mats?" Henderson said. "How's that going to work?"
Henderson said she was won over by Mayfield's passion for the project, and her desire to help those less fortunate.
"It's so easy to become homeless," Henderson said. "It could happen to anyone of us."
Anyone interested in donating bags or volunteering to crochet mats should contact Mayfield at the Center for Concern at 256-236-7793.

The city's Planning Commission on Thursday approved a hot- button modernization plan for Los Angeles International Airport that includes a shift of its northern runways closer to Westchester, with the head of the city's airport authority telling the panel there is a race among airports to attract international flight traffic.
During the commission meeting, airport officials touted the economic benefits of widening LAX's north airfield, a plan unpopular with Westchester and Playa del Rey residents because it would push the northernmost runway 260 feet closer to their homes.
Gina Marie Lindsey, executive director of Los Angeles World Airports, said the international flights that could be accommodated as a result of the expansion would inject hundreds of millions of dollars into the local economy.
LAX is "still dominantly domestic traffic, but we have a growing international sector," Lindsey said. She referred to an economic study by the Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation that says "daily trans-oceanic international flights are estimated ... to generate $623 million a year in economic activity in the city of Los Angeles."
"The disproportionate economic advantage of international flights is not something that's lost on other cities," she said. "Many of them are actually putting incentives on the table to try to get international flights. It would be short-sighted for Los Angeles to not reconfigure its major gateway airport in a way to provide an economic engine going forward and be competitive in international travel."
The modernization proposal, which now moves to the City Council, would put a taxi lane between the northern airfield's two runways to accommodate large aircraft like Airbus 380s that are now restricted to southern runways. Residents and representatives of area lawmakers, along with City Councilman Bill Rosendahl, protested LAWA's plan at the commission's meeting, as they did at previous hearings.
"If you move the runway north, it is permanently moving the flight path over our neighborhood," according to Robert Acherman, vice president of the Alliance for Regional Solutions to Airport Congestion, which opposes the north airfield expansion.
Craig Eggers of the Westchester/Playa Del Rey Neighborhood Council told the commission his council supports the modernization plans, but not the airfield expansion. Whitney Blumenfeld of Rosendahl's office told the commission, "Modernization, yes; expansion, no."
"Analysis in LAWA's final EIR (environmental impact report) shows that we don't need to move the runways for safety or operational efficiency," Blumenfeld said.
The councilman has said he supports linking public transit to the main airport terminal and improving grand transportation, plans popular among residents who oppose the north airfield expansion. The opposition to the plan was evenly matched by members of business groups who said the plans would bring jobs and dollars to the city.
"Now, as we begin the city's approval process it is time for everybody to realize how important LAX is to Los Angeles' economy," said Chris Hannan of the Los Angeles County Building & Construction Trades Council. "It has the ability to be a huge economic driver or an excuse for Los Angeles to fall behind."
Laurie Hughes, representing the business improvement district around the airport, said hotels, office buildings, car rental agencies and other businesses "tied very closely to LAX" would benefit from LAWA's proposal. Planning Commission President William Roschen praised the plan and said he had no choice but to make a motion to recommend it to City Council.
"It's a huge improvement in safety," he said. The project, which has been in the works since 2006, also awaits approval by Federal Aviation Administration. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is also expected to weigh in.
Supervisor Don Knabe last week raised concerns about the north airfield expansion proposal, saying it could violate a 2006 settlement agreement that regulates LAX's traffic and noise impacts in adjacent communities. Knabe said the county "in no uncertain terms, intends to enforce compliance with the settlement agreement."
