Louisville basketball's Rick Pitino, Kentucky basketball's John Calipari have different views of one-and-done players. (File) / Jonathan Palmer/Special to the Courier-Journal
Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino says he values relationships with his players, so he harbors concerns about the ability to forge deep relationships with freshmen who jump to the NBA after just one season.
And Kentuckys John Calipari says such sentiments usually are expressed by coaches who cant land elite-level prospects.
Comments made by the two coaching rivals to USA Today Sports illuminate a debate of one of the sports most controversial issues in recent years.
Freshmen who are talented enough to be drafted into the NBA after just one season almost always give their schools a better chance to win, and perhaps win big. Kentucky won the 2012 national title with three one-and-done players, Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Marquis Teague.
On the other hand, some coaches feel it could be more of a challenge at times getting one-and-done players to commit to a team-first philosophy because they may already have one foot out the door.
When asked by phone if he would want to coach a team that featured at least three one-and-done players, Pitino said: You know, I wouldnt care if the pros say the young man is one and done and he goes. But I dont go in the home and say, Youre a one-and-done and my program is a one and done program. I dont do that.
I go in and recruit the young man and if he asks me how I would feel about it, I say, If youre good enough, thats up to the pros, go ahead and do it. I dont talk about it. I dont look at it. One of the things I enjoy is building relationships with guys, and I dont want to get to know them for seven months and they move on because I never get to know them.
No one has had more success with one-and-done players than Calipari.
Calipari said he does not talk about being a one-and-done player when he visits with recruits and instead tells them that they need to prepare as if they will be in school for at least two years.
When told of Pitinos comments regarding one-and-done players, Calipari told USA TODAY Sports: Thats not true (that you cant have relationships). Obviously the relationships I have with my guys, you need to go talk to them. Why? I have been loyal to them. I have loved them when they were here and loved them when they left.
Its not about me, its about them. I dont go in and talk about one-and-done. It never comes up in meetings. I dont have to. Its the white elephant in the room. ...
If you cant get those kids, thats the kind of comment you make. Thats what you say.
Neither coach mentioned the other by name.

A Syracuse University basketball star was playing in a NCAA basketball tournament game Saturday night when his Hamilton home caught fire.
Flames began shooting through the roof of the Cutler Road home of Mandy Carter-Zegarowski, the mother of Michael Carter-Williams, at about 10:15 p.m.
Carter-Zegarowski, who was at the March Madness game in California, said she got a call about the fire from her husband at halftime, but had to keep the news from her son.
"He saw me get upset from a timeout and he started asking me what was wrong and he was mouthing to me 'What's wrong?' and I just waved to him that nothing was wrong, but he knew," said Carter-Zegarowski.
Carter-Williams' stepfather. Zach Zegarowski, and younger brothers had been watching him play in the tournament game against the University of California when the fire broke out inside the home.
"It went from bad to worse," said Zegarowski. "Two minutes, that's all we got, we had to be evacuated from the house."
In California, an academic adviser noticed that Carter-Zegarowski was upset and asked her what was wrong.
"I had to pull it together and I knew he had to finish the game strong," she said. "I knew if he thought I was upset, he would be bothered by that so I said to tell a small white lie and say that my dad, who's in a nursing home, had a bad night."
Firefighters had a difficult time dousing the flames because of heavy smoke but were able to get it under control after a couple of hours. They believe the blaze started in a wood stove outside.
On Sunday, Carter-Williams tweeted, "Thanks for the prayers everyone. All that's important to me is my family is OK."
The tournament was played at HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif. Fourth-seeded Syracuse beat the 12th-seeded Golden Bears 66-60.
"Everything can be replaced, but we built this house and my kids were raised in this house and all of their pictures and stuff is gone which is hard," said Carter-Zegarowski.

I purchased the jawbone to replace an earpiece that was lost. I've read several review on the jawbone and decided to give it a try. Based on feedback from people I've talked to while using it, there is a definite improvement in voice clarity and a definite drop in background noise. However, it doesn't fit into my ear very well so I often have to re-seat it to hear even with the volume on maximum. Also the buttons to operate the Jawbone are cleverly hidden to the point where you can'y be sure where they are and you wind up pressing areas all over it until you feel a click. It also complicates re-seating it because I have often inadvertently pressed the main button cutting off my call. My opinion of the Jawbone is thus somewhat mixed and unless comfort is improved and a way of increasing the volume is provided, I probably will not be buying another one.
the bluetooth works perfectly and i havent received any complaints on background noise. only problem is the package indicates that it comes with 4 ear loops and 3 earbuds. my package came with only one of each(medium) so i cant adjust it to my prefered size.
Very difficult to use and confusing as well. The ear piece did not fit and as I tried to adjust the I'd accidentally hang up on the caller. Dials and switches are in bad places and would not recommend this for the money.
I ordered the brown Bluetooth with the leather ear holder. It came in as a gold Bluetooth with a thin, black metal ear holder. I sent it back immediate. Temporary waste of money and forever was of time.
wasn't able to use the product as all of the parts were not included. it would have been great but the piece did not fit in my ear and without all of the parts it was useless. very disappointed!
Good value at the time. Used often.
Great price on overstock. Works perfect. Have had absolutely no problems with it.
I Don't like the design of this bluetooth at all. The earpiece was so big it irritated my ear to the point that it rubbed off skin. the ear loop that goes around your ear is fixed so you can't adjust the angle of the bluetooth. The charger is not mini uSB so I cant use it with my car charger. The only reason that I didn't Rate this product as poor is that it performed well as far as hearing. Volume was really good and it actually snet out well too.
When I received this bluetooth, it only came with a very thin (and painful) earpiece that looked like the twist on a loaf of bread. It did not look at all like the one on the picture. The ear bud part was humongous and I could not get the bluetooth to fit properly on my ear. The extra buds and hooks were not in the package and it did not come in a Jawbone package, but some generic packaging that looked like it was all put together in someone's garage. No one could hear me clearly and I could not keep it on my ear to use it effectively. I have since returned it and I will go and purchase one that I can see in person.
This is my second Jawbone. You will not receive the ear loop shown in the picture. Instead you'll get a hard plastic one and only one earbud. For me it was a horrible fit but because I've owned one in the past I new i could order different earbuds which i what I did. Now it fits and works great. I do wish the volume could be higher and easier to adjust.

Kidney Transplant Program
Kidney Transplant FAQ
How long do you wait for a kidney transplant?
The amount of time you will wait depends on several variables: your place on the transplant list, your blood type and your clinical status. Your blood type must be an acceptable match with the kidney donor's blood type. The severity of your disease will also help determine your place on the list.
What do I need to do if I would like to donate a kidney?
The first step to becoming a living kidney donor is to call a St. Luke's transplant coordinator at (414)-646-2550. The coordinator will discuss the process, acceptance criteria and risks associated with kidney donation.
How do you become listed for kidney transplant?
After being referred to the Transplant Clinic by your primary physician, nephrologists or dialysis center, the Transplant Clinic coordinator will contact you to setup an initial appointment and review the kidney transplant process. After completing the necessary interviews and diagnostic tests your case will be referred to a selection committee that will determine if you are a candidate for kidney transplant. Upon approval by the selection committee, you will be listed on the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS).
What can kidney transplant recipients expect following their transplant?
For the first few weeks after transplant, patients can expect frequent appointments with the transplant clinic where they will check for signs of rejection and appropriate recovery. Patients will also undergo rehabilitation to help them return to normal activity. Most patients regain their health and strength and are able to resume everyday activities within a few months.

STORMY is a creature all her own. She can't be explained although many have tried. Words don't find there way onto our tongues and out of or mouths for there are no words that can describe such a wonder. she is raw to the core, deep, heartfelt, both complex and simple, she is amazing in every aspect you can physically think of, there isn't another like her. the sun shines brighter in my world when she awakens yet the devil says, oh no she's up when her feet hit the ground. Step back for you can not compare. She is a rare breed and only someone with capabilities and characteristics such as her own, will be able to hold on to her. She can't be tamed and shouldn't be; something so wild and free shouldn't be fenced in or hidden behind a wall but should only live to be shared with the world so that they too may know such a thing of wonder. She wants love, just a different kind. She wants a love that withholes in it, one that is perfect inevery imperfect way and it is the only kind that will understand her and last for eternity .......

A girl of immense knowledge and beauty, both inside and out. She is simple at times and yet has complex feelings. She is very random and loves to be bouncy. While she can be cold, cruel, she is truely softhearted in nature.

Work ethic, generosity: Schwebach's legacy
A life of hard work, love of family and love of country ended for Mary Schwebach on Dec. 26, but those who new the Dell Rapids business women and dedicated wife, mother and grandmother say the impact she made on her community won't soon be forgotten.Mary, 91, of Dell Rapids passed away at the Good Samaritan Village in Sioux Falls."She loved to stay busy," said Patricia Deis, one of Mary's four children.One of 12 children, Mary's attention to detail and a never ending call to be productive started for Mary as a child growing up on the family farm north of Dell Rapids without a mother."When she was just a baby, not much over a year old, her mother died in child birth," said Paula Meyer, Mary's eldest daughter."She grew up with her sisters, the older ones took care of her and the younger ones she grew up with."Mary was the only one of the siblings to graduate high school."She was very self-sufficient," Deis said. "She grew up knowing if she didn't do something for herself, it wasn't going to happen."Mary always made it happen.While attending high school at St. Mary's Academy in the 1930s, Mary, then a Mergen, met her future husband Francis, a fellow student who happened to drive the school bus Mary rode every day."I think it's kind of a love story, really," Meyer said. "They didn't date in high school but they did when they got of high school (in 1939)."After dating for a spell, Francis was called to serve in World War II in 1942 and Mary packed up everything she owned into one trunk and one small suitcase and moved to Omaha, Neb. to attend secretary and bookkeeping school, academics that would land her a civil service role in the military until the war ended."She and dad wrote back and forth to each other during the war but they didn't see each other for three years," Meyer said.In April 1946, the two were married and began a family that would leave a large footprint on the Dell Rapids community."They lived downtown above what used to be Schwebach Electric. Then dad broke away from his brothers and started Schwebach Plumbing in 1960," Meyer said.Mary was very much a part of the new business, watching the business's revenues and expense like a hawk, always keeping the family business in the black."She was a meticulous bookkeeper," Meyer said. "Even up until last year when she was 90 years old, living in her own house, she kept a ledger and she could tell you what she spent down to the penny."Mary's dedication to the family business spilled over into the community at large, Deis said, through efforts to attract new families and businesses to Dell Rapids. "They were very supportive of the community," Deis said."Dell Rapids was very important. They always bought local and that helped bring other businesses to town."Until her final years, Mary continued to help local businesses in Dell Rapids, especially Padre's thrift store where she sorted clothes two days a week."She stayed busy, taking care of her home, taking care of her yard, taking care of her lake cabin," Meyer said.Mary is survived by her two sons, Lynn Schwebach of Greenville, S.C. and Rand Schwebach of Sioux Falls; her two daughters, Meyer Deis, her sixteen grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren; and her sister, Alverda Neary of Rapid City.

Head west on Interstate 88 outside of Chicago for around 50 minutes and you'll run into the charming city of Aurora, known by many residents here as the "City of Lights." Aurora's great location, proximity to numerous business opportunities and low cost of living (compared with other areas in Chicagoland) make it an ideal suburb. With its four historic districts, numerous shopping opportunities, excellent schools and a growing population, there are plenty of reasons to rent apartments in Aurora Illinois. According to the U.S. Census, the population is estimated to be just under 200,000, making it a small city within a large metropolitan area.
Many people are very eager to move into apartments in Aurora IL, and the cost of living has a lot to do with it. Despite being within close proximity to Chicago, the cost of living in Aurora is very similar to the national average - only 3 percent higher - making it a very affordable place to raise a family. You can expect to rent studio or one bedroom apartments in Aurora Illinois for anywhere between $600 and $1000 a month. Price rises depending on location, amount of space, and amenities.
There are many reasons why people are excited to live in Aurora. One of the best things residents can look forward to here is being close to RiverEdge Park.

A thyroid nodule is a growth (lump) in the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is located in the neck, just above where your collarbones meet in the middle.
Thyroid tumor; Thyroid adenoma; Thyroid carcinoma; Thyroid incidentaloma
Thyroid nodules are growths of cells in the thyroid gland. These growths can be:
Thyroid nodules are more common in women than in men. A person's chance of getting a thyroid nodule increases with age.
Only a few thyroid nodules are due to thyroid cancer. A thyroid nodule is more likely to be cancer if you:
Causes of thyroid nodules are not always found, but can include:
Most thyroid nodules do not cause symptoms.
Large nodules can press against other structures in the neck, causing symptoms such as:
Nodules that produce thyroid hormones will likely cause symptoms of overactive thyroid gland, including:
Thyroid nodules are sometimes found in people who have Hashimoto's disease, which may cause symptoms of an underactive thyroid gland, such as:
Very often, nodules produce no symptoms. Doctors find thyroid nodules only during a routine physical exam or imaging tests that are done for another reason. A few people have thyroid nodules that are big enough that they notice the nodule on their own, causing them to have a doctor examine their neck.
If the doctor finds a nodule or you have symptoms of a nodule, the following tests may be done:
Your health care provider may recommend surgery to remove all or part of your thyroid gland if the nodule is:
Patients with nodules that are making too much thyroid hormone may be treated with radioactive iodine. This treatment reduces the size and activity of the nodule. Pregnant women are not given this treatment.
Both surgery to remove thyroid gland tissue and radioactive iodine treatment can cause lifelong hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), which needs to be treated with thyroid hormone replacement.
For noncancerous nodules that do not cause symptoms and are not growing, the best treatment may be:
Another possible treatment is ethanol (alcohol) injection into the nodule to shrink it.
Noncancerous thyroid nodules are not life-threatening. Many do not require treatment. Follow-up exams are enough.
The outlook for thyroid cancer depends on the type of cancer. With most common kinds of thyroid cancer, the outlook is very good after treatment.
Call your health care provider if you feel or see a lump in your neck, or if you experience any symptoms of a thyroid nodule.
If you have been exposed to radiation in the face or neck area, call your health care provider. A neck ultrasound can be done to look for thyroid nodules.

900GSM Egyptian Cotton 6 piece towel set. These towels are exactly what you find in luxury five star hotels. They are thick and soft, and the large size makes them almost like a wrap when getting out of shower or bath. The deluxe thickness quickly draws moisture away from the body leaving the surface of the towel almost dry. They launder beautifullly. I have washed mine twice and they grow softer and more pliant each time. The color is vibrant and true and has remained so with laundering. Great addition to a guest bathroom, or for that little touch of luxury for yourself. You won't be disappointed!

fell apart upon washing Thought these were so fabulous when I first received them. Huge, plush, thick and luxurious......then I washed them. I had to cut a huge handful of strings from all of the towels, hand towels and wash cloths. So many loops pulled out that there are runs in the towels. Save your money and don't buy these! Buy your towels at a department store where you can actually return them if they fall apart! I bought them in 3 different colors and every single one of them looked terrible after washing.....they actually look worse than the 10-year-old towels that I was replacing!

Exactly as advertised These towels are terrific. I'm obsessed with nice bedding and bath products and decided to take a chance on these towels. I've paid a whole lot more for a lot less quality. So far I've not had any discoloration problems, either, which is a blessing. I'm tired of nice towels that fade out and spot and look terrible when I get anywhere near them with toothpaste or cosmetics. My husband even commented on how much he liked the towels and that's rare. Usually he just comments on how much I spend! A great deal; I bought two sets and might even get more.

Wonderful heavy towels These are thick, heavy towels...just what I have been looking for. They are like towels you find in fine hotels. Others have complained about the smell and shedding, but as soon as I opened them, I washed them and there was no smell at all. Also, they was a little shedding, but not what has been described by some people. After one wash, they are good to go. I love these towels and ordered another set after receiving the first set.

Excellent Value Excellent value though I question the weight of 900 GSM, as these towels are much lighter than other 900 GSM towels I own. They had some loose loops at the seams that became runs after I removed them from the washer. Perhaps a quality oversight, perhaps why they were sold so cheaply. Overall, a good buy for the money, if you are OK with "seconds", which apparently I am.

Jury: "The jury viewed this project as an environmental learning center because it has so many of those characteristics. … There were a number of that building type in the running, and yet this one really delivered on the promise that we were looking for. Genuine performance with a beautiful elegant design."
Architect: "The project proves that you don't have to sacrifice design for sustainability. We used the Passiv Haus standard because its criteria were so high and it paid off with a better building. We emphasized the sustainable features to strengthen the architectural statement, so the sustainable elements are what make it dynamic and architecturally significant." —David Salmela, FAIA, David Salmela Architect
Located in a 55-acre nature reserve, the University Classroom building at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) needed to have a small environmental footprint, and minimize site disturbance, water run-off, and energy use. To start, David Salmela Architect chose to work with previously developed land and an existing parking lot at the Northwest edge of UMD, which is within walking distance of campus. As a result, building occupants can use existing campus parking, negating the need for new lots. The building, which is used by eight departments at UMD, was minimized to 1,995 gross square feet and incorporates an outdoor classroom with a fireplace, wood storage area, and recycled cedar benches, all in order to reduce the overall square footage of the structure while incorporating the surrounding reserve as a teaching tool.
In addition to striving for (and achieving) LEED Platinum certification, the design team incorporated Passive Haus strategies to minimize energy loads. The building is oriented to take advantage of passive heating and cooling and eliminate artificial cooling, and requires 78 percent less energy use due to optimal orientation. It takes only 3,000 watts (the equivalent of three hair dryers) to heat the building on the coldest day of the year.
To the south, pre-existing deciduous trees provide shade in the summer. On the south, east, and west wises of the building, glazing was calculated with Passiv Haus energy modeling software to optimize passive solar gains in the winter and prevent overheating in the summer. Grid-connected photovoltaic panels on the low south roof generate up to 8,500 kWh in a cloudy year. The building uses the sun as its primary heating source, and any supplementary heat is provided by an electric heat coil at the ventilation system. An electric boiler and in-floor radiant heating system serves as a backup heat system, and small, on-demand, tankless electric water heaters are used to heat water at two hand-rinsing sinks.
Sixteen inches of insulation on the walls and roof as well as 12 inches of 100-percent-recycled-content SPA insulation around the foundation and under a concrete floor slab reduce the heating load, as does a system of structurally insulated panels (SIPs) that features continuous insulation and no thermal breaks. Married with these elements are triple-pane glass windows with insulated frames and insulated doors with wooden frames.
In the winter, the windows are closed and locked to prevent heat loss. Due to the building's air tightness, mechanical ventilation provides constant fresh air. In warmer months, operable windows on the lower east and west façades and venting louvers on the higher east and west façades take advantage of site wind to create 100 percent natural ventilation through a stack effect via upper ventilation louvers in warmer months. A heat-recovery ventilation system removes 85 percent of the heat from exhausting air to minimize heat loss. The system is turned off each night and the building is flushed out each morning to remove pollutants from the air.
All habitable rooms in the building have exterior views and daylight is further augmented by solar tubes in the ceilings. Wood horizontal screen covers the windows to prevent bird collisions and provide shade from solar gain in the summer.
A two-level vegetated roof planted with drought-tolerant sedum that can survive up to four weeks without rainfall and doesn't require irrigation. The upper roof holds 90 percent of rainfall on the building and drains into a lower vegetated roof to delay stormwater runoff, an important element as the site drains into a nearby watershed that includes a protected trout stream. To further aid in stormwater management, the building is surrounded by an underground trench drain system that gathers runoff from walkways and holds the water in the site's forested area where it can be infiltrated by daylight. Two composting, vacuum-flush toilets provide minimal waste water for the sewer system, directing most waste to two central composting tanks. A mop sink and the two hand-washing stations are equipped with sensor-controlled, low-flow fixture faucets.
Further influencing campus operations, the UMD facilities department managed and executed the building's construction with in-house staff, training the crew in efficient construction practices and training them for future university construction projects.
BY THE NUMBERS Building gross floor area: 1,995 square feet Estimated percent of occupants using public transit, cycling, or walking: 72 Percent of daylight at levels that allow lights to be off during daylight hours: 100 Percent of views to the outdoors: 100 Percent of spaces within 15 feet of an operable window: 48 Percent reduction of regulated potable water: 87 Is potable water used for irrigation: No Percent of rainwater from maximum anticipated 24-hour, two-year storm event that can be managed onsite: 100 Total EUI (kBtu per square foot per year): 36 Net EUI (kBtu per square foot per year): 27 Percent reduction from national average EUI for building type: 78 LEED rating: Platinum Total project cost at time of completion, land excluded: $1 million

Both rings bent already with minimal wear! Really pretty set at a low cost! However, I haven't been wearing them long nor am I hard on my jewelry and both rings are severely bent in the back making them very oval shaped now, I fear they are weak in the back and may break easily. We'll see....

First Black Diamond Ring The only thing i was not sure of is the cut on the top of the ring looks a little dull, I keep wanting to wipe it with a cloth. It could be because I have never seen a black diamond before? But overall it is real sparkly and unique looking.

text: I have been dying for this apocalyptic show to jump back on the air waves! I threw on the first eight minutes after I left work at DISH today and just the glimpse of all of the explosions has me super pumped for the mid season premiere! I might not be back in Colorado in time to set my DVR to record it, but that is ok since I have a DISH Hopper. It automatically records all of the prime time shows on the big four networks, so my busy schedule never prevents me from watching my favorite shows.
