Gresham's law
Gresham's law
Observation that bad money drives out good. It is named for Sir Thomas Gresham (1519–1579), financial agent of Queen Elizabeth I, who was one of the first to elucidate it (he had been preceded by Copernicus). The meaning expressed is that, if two coins have the same face value but are made from metals of unequal value, the cheaper will tend to drive the other out of circulation; the more valuable coin will be hoarded or used for foreign exchange instead of for domestic transactions.

Audiometry is a test that measures how well you can hear. This test is performed by an audiologist. An audiologist is a person trained to identify and help manage hearing problems.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
What to Expect
Prior to Test
Your audiologist may ask you:
- When your hearing difficulty began
- If it affects one ear or both ears
- If you hear ringing in your ears
- If you have ever had pain or discomfort in your ears
- If there has been any recent drainage from your ears
- If you have ever had ear infections
- If you have ever had an ear injury
- If you have ever had ear surgery
- If you ever have dizziness
- If there is a family history of hearing loss
- If you are exposed to a lot of noise at work
- If you often ask people to repeat themselves
- If others have commented that your television is too loud or that you speak too loudly
- If it is hard for you to understand a conversation when you are in a large group or a noisy place
If your child is being tested, the audiologist may ask about:
- Difficulties with speech and language development
- Other developmental issues
- Difficulty in school
- Health history
- Family history of permanent childhood hearing loss
- Your child's responses to both familiar and unexpected sounds
Your audiologist will likely:
- Examine the outer ear for deformities
- Examine the ear canal and eardrum with an otoscope, which is a hand-held instrument that has a light and a magnifying lens
Description of Test
There are several types of audiometry, including:
For Adults and Older Children
Pure Tone Audiometry
This test usually takes place in a soundproof booth. You will put on headphones that are connected to an audiometer. This device sends sounds of different volumes and pitches to one ear at a time. You will be asked to respond each time you hear a sound. You may be asked to respond by raising your hand.
You may also be asked to wear a special instrument called a bone oscillator. It is worn behind each ear. The device sends sounds as vibrations directly to the inner ear. You will again be asked to respond each time you hear a sound.
Speech Audiometry
You will wear special headphones. You will hear simple, two-syllable words. Words will be sent to one ear at a time at different volume levels. You will be asked to repeat each word or point to a picture.
Impedance Audiometry (Tympanometry)
A probe is inserted into your ear. The device changes the air pressure in your ear and emits sounds. The test measures how much your eardrum moves in response to the air pressure change and the sounds. It can help determine how well the middle ear is functioning and if there is fluid in it.
For Infants and Toddlers
Behavioral Audiometry
Babies are watched to see how they react to certain sounds.
Visual Reinforcement Audiometry
Children are taught to look toward the source of a sound.
Conditioned Play Audiometry
Older children are given a fun version of the pure tone audiometry test. Sounds of varying volume and pitch are sent through headphones to one ear at a time. Children are asked to do something with a toy each time they hear a sound. They may be asked to drop a block in a bucket.
Newborns and young infants may have brain stem auditory response testing. A sound is sent through headphones to one ear at a time. The response is measured using EEG recordings over the auditory cortex.
After Test
Your test results are recorded on an audiogram. This is a chart or graph that shows the softest sounds you can hear. The audiologist will explain your test results.
How Long Will It Take?
Testing times vary. A first screening may take only 5-10 minutes. A more detailed hearing test may take up to an hour.
Will It Hurt?
There is no pain associated with these tests.
Your doctor will talk to you about treatment options if your test results confirm that you have hearing loss.
Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor if any of the following occurs after the test:
- You experience continued or severe lightheadedness
- You notice additional hearing loss
- You experience pain
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Definitely a keeper. It gets 3.5 forks (if I could add the .5) rather than four because it makes too little batter, and because it's a little too sweet. Apart from that, these are delicious little parcels of goodness. The basil perfectly compliments the lemon, but is just too sweet (I'm also not sure how concentrated the syrup was supposed to be). I made this with regular flour and had no problems. I also added a lot more zest than called for.
Okay, so maybe I made too many changes to give this a good review, but still. I just did the cake and baked it in a square pan - either 9x9 or 10x10 - and didn't do the syrup or cream. By no fault of the recipe, the pan was too big and my cake was really short, so I'd say if you want to make one cake maybe an 8-inch round would be good. I didn't do the zest and sugar sprinkle, and I beat 1/2 cup rather than 2/3 with the butter and it was still plenty sweet. The yolk mixture was really tough and I had a little trouble mixing it with the whites, but in the end the texture turned out fine. The matzoh taste is definitely there, but not too overpowering, and I'm going to use this as a Passover snack/breakfast cake. This is a four-fork Passover recipe, but it's not much compared to a regular cake.
Tasty! We made one larger cake instead of the smaller cupcakes and cooked it a bit longer until it was set. The lemon basil syrup is excellent! and the whole thins is decadent if you add a dollop of whipped cream :-) You can easily make 1/2 of the syrup and will still have plenty left over. It will be tasty on your next batch of pancakes/french toast or spooned over your oatmeal...
I wasn't impressed for the work involved. i cut the sugar in the syrup in half but the cakes themselves were awfully sweet. barely got any basil flavor -- i'd recommend using a LOT so you can taste it.
This recipe is so easy and so much better than regular passover desserts. I plan on making it all year round, not only on passover!
Delicious and easy! I used regular cake four and my local store ran out of fresh basil so I substituted rosemary with amazing results. The flavor of the syrup was incredible, everyone was licking it off the plates with their fingers!
Great Passover recipe. I'm not typically a fan of Passover deserts, but this one was really good. If someone gave these to me in July, I don't know if I would have known they were made from matzah flour. Followed the directions exactly and they came out great.
These are really tasty and the texture is great! I would add more basil to the syrup. Otherwise, skip the syrup all together and try this as a starting point for a lemon cake topped with berries and whipped cream.
Followed the recipe except for the flour thing and made lovely little cakes. Very tart and refreshing! Here's a picture-- http://ladybakes.blogspot.com/2009/05/le mon-cakes-with-basil-lemon-syrup.html
I probably shouldn't comment on this recipe because I made so many changes. I made it in an 8" springform pan rather than cupcake tins. I didn't include the basil because of the picky eaters in my group. Finally, while the cake was still warm, I pricked the cake all over with a fork and poured quite a bit of the syrup over the cake. The glaze soaked in around the pricked sports. Both the cake and the sauce had the taste of fresh, fresh lemon ... and I guess that's why I loved the recipe so much.

Beatrice & Faye are my absolute favorites. I love Vera as well. Maybe Persephone would work in the middle for you? Especially with the simplicity of Faye I think Persephone works! I wouldn't think of gay Faye. I don't think it's common for girls to get teased with that word really.

And this is the best tip you will receive. While Windows did everything for you and held your hand, Linux does not. You need to learn how to use the web to find information that you are looking for. After you have tried several things you have read and are still having issues then ask for help stating what you have already done. There is more then enough information on the web for what you are looking to do.

Light-and-sound attacks used against starlings
Comment on this storyRome - Tired of bird droppings on the city's most famous monuments, local authorities in Rome are resorting to unusual measures to try and scare off a million starlings that migrate to the Eternal City every year.
Armed with loudspeakers and light projectors, workers dressed in white overalls and masks have been seen walking around at sunset along the tree-lined embankments of the Tiber River where starlings tend to congregate.
The loudspeakers blast out shrieks of alarm used by the starlings and the projectors are shone into the trees to scare off the birds.
"Their reaction is immediate," city hall said in a statement on Friday.
"The starlings abandon the area and get as far away as possible from the area, which they consider dangerous," it said, adding that the method "respects the environment and the birds and does not create a nuisance for residents."
The sound-and-light attacks last around an hour and are always carried out at dusk for three days in a row to ensure the desired effect.
Rome has the highest number of starlings in Italy - around a million are estimated to migrate there every autumn and winter. - Sapa-AFP

But it seemed to be what Christopher Reed was saying was some very similar themes that we're hearing from republican candidates. Is that what you're hearing?
David Pitt: Yeah, we've seen it I guess at the top of the ticket with the McCain-Palin race in which Sarah Palin has tossed out the idea of being un-American if you don't feel a certain way or if you don't align with our way of thinking and that's happening in a couple of congressional races we've seen across the country and there's been a lot of talk about that in the last couple of days and we saw a little bit of that today. I guess one has to think that we're obviously getting down to the last few weeks of the campaign and quite frequently as we've seen in past elections, most recent elections the campaign goes negative if you're behind, you know, if you're looking to try to catch up that's one of the strategies I guess they can use to do that.
Paul Yeager: And sometimes they're looking at polls and the polling in this race still puts Senator Harkin in the lead but there's other polls out there. Let's talk about some of those tightening polls and actually some differential between polls. What is going on there?
David Pitt: The AP had a poll yesterday in the presidential race which indicated a much, much tighter race nationally than many other polls have shown recently. Some believe that could be attributed to the fact that after the last debate there seemed to have been a tightening of the race. Some attribute it to the fact that republicans who have been kind of saying they are undecided are basically going into the fold and saying, okay, I'm going to vote for McCain, he might not have been my favorite republican to be at the top of the ticket but, you know, we're getting down to the nitty gritty and I have to decide so I'm a republican, I'm going to vote republican. So, that is what some people are saying they can attribute that tightening of the race. But others are surprised by the fact that it's basically just a neck and neck race now between Obama and McCain according to that poll.
Paul Yeager: One other issue, we talk about the economy, that came up in the debate, comes up in all of the campaigns. Specifically a Wall Street Journal article on Wednesday referred to the farm economy possibly hitting its peak and it's now on the way down. Let's explain that a little bit.
David Pitt: Yeah, the AP has done a story too and a lot of people are writing about this now because it's really becoming kind of a focus for farmers. We're about to see a harvest that is going to be a good harvest again and I think corn is going to be like the second to largest harvest and soybeans something like the fourth largest. But what we've seen recently the biggest impact is the corn prices and soybean prices have fallen, corn prices have fallen 50% since the summer, soybean prices have gone to something like $16 in summertime to $9 now so obviously the farmers are going to have this bountiful harvest but they're not going to be bringing in the kind of money that they've been used to and had hoped to bring in. But at the same time prices for things like fertilizer and seed and the rental on the land if they rent some of the land where they farm is going up still. We're seeing nitrogen fertilizer up 40% to 50%, something like that. So, it doesn't take a real economist to figure out that your input the cost that you're paying is going up and it's going to put you upside down. I mean, farmers I think still are in pretty good shape as far as their balance sheets. They have been having a couple of pretty good years here. But it's not good when you see those kinds of trends happening and I think there is a concern about that.
Paul Yeager: And especially in the state of Iowa where a lot of the economy in rural areas is driven by farming still and the farming business. In fact, tonight we're going to talk about Dubuque, Davenport and Waterloo, all driven by John Deere. Do we have any ideas about companies based in the state how they are doing and how they are faring?
David Pitt: Well, some of the agricultural companies have taken a pretty good hit in recent months to their stock. So, I think it very likely could have a residual impact. Obviously if farmers aren't making the money they're probably not going to go out and buy a new combine, they're not going to invest as much money back in to the operation as they might have otherwise. So, there could definitely be an effect for companies that are very, very narrowly tied to agriculture.
Paul Yeager: Quickly, David, in the final forty seconds I understand one of your counterparts did a story, a sit-down interview with Governor Chet Culver. What were some of the things Mike Glover talked about?
David Pitt: Well, Governor Culver has been working on part of some democrats to try to make sure that they get a good margin in the statehouse when they come back. The democrats are holding a narrow margin I think in the house, a little bit better lead in the senate and I think they want to make sure that they maintain those margins and the Governor is kind of reaching out to democrats. They had kind of a rough session this last session and there was a little bit of I don't know if you'd say animosity but some difficulties there between the Governor and his own party so he's trying to mend that a bit.
Paul Yeager: Trying to make good will before they move forward in the next session. David Pitt of the Associated Press, thank you as always for stopping by.

At The Gentle Zoo, youngsters feed pigs, pat ducklings, and interact with the other fuzzy residents. Elsewhere on the zoo's 10 acres, guests can leap about on the bounce house, blast corn from the corn cannon, navigate the maze, or enjoy a leisurely ride on the tractor train. Such attractions enthrall kids at onsite birthday parties, while the mobile petting zoo's 12–15 staff-supervised animals offer nuzzles and create memories in children's minds. The creatures also hit the road for the animal-encounters program, which combines hands-on animal contact with educational 45-minute presentations. The Gentle Zoo donates its proceeds from the program to its Creature Connection, Inc. nonprofit, which rehabilitates rescue animals before they participate in outreach programs for foster children and at-risk youth.
More than 100 exotic and endangered animals can be seen at Sharkarosa Wildlife Ranch, an educational, nonprofit wildlife ranch licensed by the USDA and featured on the Discovery Channel's Dirty Jobs. Knowledgeable staffers pilot a fleet of safari trams that ferry guests across the park's sprawling pastures, dispensing enlightening wisdom as they pass zebras, kangaroos, emus, bears, and monkeys. The staff brings patrons face-to-face with many of the exotic critters and often stops to allow guests to pet and get to know the animals. Interactive presentations and small-animal habitats further educate visitors on the menagerie of rare creatures.
Bob and Coni Keyes began the adventure that is Green Meadows Petting Farm in Wisconsin in 1964, when it was simply Green Meadows Farm. As a "pick-your-own" raspberry and vegetable farm, there was nothing there yet to pet, especially since raspberries notoriously withhold affection. When they discovered that most farms of their ilk prohibited youngsters, they brought in animal friends to make their farm a family affair. All it took was the raves of one nursery school group, and suddenly the new Green Meadows Petting Farm was bringing in up to 1,200 visitors a day. Through the decades, Green Meadows has expanded its array of animals and family entertainment, which includes horse-drawn hayrides, sleigh rides, mobile pony parties, and more pumpkins than in a headless horseman's closet. They've also expanded to locations to Maryland and Texas, allowing kids in two times zones the chance to get closer to nature's critters.
The largest urban bottomland hardwood forest on the continent, Great Trinity Forest is a sprawling 6,000-acre expanse of greenery that's home to more than 130 species of birds and Trinity River Audubon Center headquarters, named by D magazine one of the things You Must Do in Dallas. With your Family Pass you'll receive a plethora of exclusive perks, including a newsletter subscription, unlimited free admission for two adults and their children or grandchildren, free Third Thursday lectures, discounts on summer camps and other programming and amnesty in the coming avian war on mankind. Family Pass holders also gain access to restricted bird-watching hours on Friday and Saturday, ideal for observing the glamorous lives of the forest's American red-tailed hawk, horned lark, yellow-billed cuckoo, great blue heron, and more.
Endangered Asian arowana flash lustrous orange and green scales; a Victorian crowned pigeon shakes its cerulean tufts and spreads its turquoise wings; 16-inch fairy penguins waddle across a forest floor. And that's all before you hit the admissions booth. The Dallas World Aquarium's Borneo exhibit greets guests to the zoo and aquarium with a preview of the colorful, exotic wildlife that await them inside. But the animals aren't just there for visitors' entertainment—the aquarium plays a large role in conservation efforts not just in the U.S., but around the world, and yhe majority of its residents are endangered or threatened in the wild. Once inside, guests explore each critter's natural habitat as they delve into exhibits that emulate different global regions, much like the control centers run by evil TV weathermen. The eight-story Mundo Maya's 400,000-gallon Cenote river teems with sharks, rays, and sea turtles indigenous to the Yucatan Peninsula. In the Orinico exhibit, crocodiles and red-bellied piranhas form a menacing welcoming committee in the water, but residents of the sloth forest remain unconcerned, moseying lazily from branch to branch.
Outside in a mock South Africa habitat aptly named tomato frogs, squat and orange like their namesake, hop around a flourishing botanical garden, alongside Madagascan big-headed turtles and black-footed penguins. And in the aquarium, a 20,000 gallon walk-through tunnel lets guests get up close and personal with hundreds of Indo-Pacific fishes and sea critters, including the blue-dot stingray—named for the blue specks scattered across its yellow coat.

There is a form of laughter that springs from the heart, heard every day in the merry voice of childhood, the expression of a laughter -- loving spirit that defies analysis by the philosopher, which has nothing rigid or mechanical in it, and totally without social significance.

Large varied menu with everything from pho to noodle dishes. Love the shrimp cake vermicelli. Very fresh and authentic.
We were on business in Santa Barbara and decided to try this Vietnamese restaurant. What a mistake ! The place we almost empty, but the tables hadn't been cleared.

even though all their restaurants need a remodel and better ambience- the food is great. fun of the springrolls. withpeanut sause and chicken curry with coconut milk
The food was not at all like Vietnamese food. There was little flavor at all. The menu had almost no vegetable dishes - even the Vegetarian Menu was full of chicken and seafood. So, for anyone who wants salad or vegys - forget it. The waiter was quite distant and unhelpful, bordering on rude. This Saigon In & Out was... More
whenever i am looking to change up my lunch a bit I stop by Saigon. nice change from normal fare. the curry with rice noodles is outstanding, my wife gets it with shrimp and I do the salmon. reasonable prices, great flavors and good service. restaurant kept very clean.
I have had my Restaurant.com gift certificates (purchased only days previously) dis-honored at so many Asian restaurants I think they must have some joint policy of remaining on the Restaurant.com web site whilst all having a small sign in their window saying "we no longer accept Restaurant.com gift certificates" hoping that most folk will stay and eat anyway.

Britney Spears Leaving 'X Factor'
And then there were two...
And then there were two...
"The Hunger Games" ate up the competition in this year's People's Choice Awards, presented Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
Cartoon Network's Adult Swim is known for sometimes being too weird to function, but it's crossed some strange line that we didn't even think existed with its own live-action late night television offering 'The Eric Andre Show.'
The premise is simple: Invite a celebrity to appear (in this instance, Demi Lovato), don't warn them about anything the host is about to do, and let the hijinx begin.
We're starting to suspect that Miley Cyrus might love dogs more than she loves her fiancé, Aussie actor Liam Hemsworth. The singer/actress has rescued another pooch, this one named Bean!
Celebs, by virtue of their gigs, have tons of fame and fortune, but many of them never forget to show their support of the less fortunate. DoSomething.Org has named its Top 20 list of Celebs Gone Good for 2012, with Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus topping the list of the most charitable celebs. Fellow pop stars like Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Pink and more were also recognized.
Demi Lovato hit the stage at the annual 'Christmas in Washington' special, and the adorable 'X Factor' judge brought her signature rock edge and powerhouse vocals to the table.
The 'VH1 Divas' 2012 special aired last night (Dec. 16) and our favorite ladies of pop music went all out with both their performances and their attire. Miley Cyrus was daring in both her performance and her onstage and red carpet outfits, while the newly-engaged Kelly Clarkson played it safe in a dress we didn't love, even though we lurve her. Adam Lambert, who hosted the event, went all out in lots of furry fabric. They don't call him "Glambert" for nothing.
Gobble gobble 'X Factor' fans, and welcome to the live Thanksgiving edition of the show! The decision to air a live show is kind of confusing and awfully inconvenient, given our current tryptophan induced coma, but we've put our maternity pants on (we're not pregnant) and are (kind of) glad to be joining the folks over at FOX.
Ohhhh wee!!! Right on the heels of Jennel Garcia complaining about the direction coach Demi Lovato sent her in, Beatrice Miller disses her mentor Britney Spears regarding song choice!
Sounds like sour grapes to me, but ex X Factor contestant Jennel Garcia says she regrets taking judge and mentor Demi Lovato's advice regarding her 'look' and her song choices.

Escaping North Korea: Mike Kim 강연
Monday, April 07, 2014
The Nueva School - GCC
6565 Skyline Blvd
Hillsborough CA 94010
연사 소개:
Mike Kim is an author, consultant, NGO founder, and North Korea specialist based in Los Angeles. He is the author of the Wall Street Journal featured book, Escaping North Korea, a current events memoir about his experiences at the China-North Korea border helping North Koreans escape the regime. On New Year's Day 2003, Mike gave up his financial planning business in Chicago, Illinois and left for China on a one-way ticket carrying little more than two duffle bags. While living near the North Korean border, he operated undercover as a student of North Korean taekwondo, training and competing under two famous North Korean masters from Pyongyang—eventually receiving a second-degree blackbelt.
During his time in China, he learned of the hundreds of thousands of North Koreans fleeing to China through a 6,000-mile modern-day underground railroad, which runs from Pyongyang to Bangkok, in search of food and freedom. He had a legal name change prior to moving to China and upon arrival conducted all North Korean operations while using an alias. He has successfully led sex trafficking victims to safety in Southeast Asia using drug trafficking routes in the region and has had many harrowing experiences, which includes interrogation, house arrest, and being held at gunpoint.
He founded Crossing Borders, a nonprofit dedicated to providing humanitarian assistance to North Korean refugees which has testified at a US congressional hearing and has been a long time contributor of the State Department's annual Trafficking in Persons Report. Mike frequently appears in the media: He has appeared on CNN Anderson Cooper 360 and it was after his interview on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart that there was interest from Hollywood in turning Escaping North Korea into a motion picture. A team of producers and writers are currently developing the script, with the book-to-film project represented by William Morris Endeavor.

It was a gala evening to celebrate the find of the century - previously unknown Gospels containing startling revelations. But before the parchments could be revealed, shots rang out in the British Museum and the Gospels - along with Lang Reilly's friend - were taken. An ancient and mysterious organization will gladly kill anyone who comes close to the parchments, but Lang can't be intimidated. The more his life is threatened, the more determined he is to find the truth behind The Coptic Secret.

Deep in the South Side of Chicago sits Simeon Career Academy, a vocational school that has helped churn out graduates with skill sets that are able to enter the labor force. One of its recent graduates, Derrick Rose, was just named the youngest MVP of the NBA.
Jabari Parker, a 6'7″ 215 lb sophomore forward at the school, has accomplished something that even Rose didn't: he's started every game of his high school career. This past March, the multifaceted sophomore, who last year was named ESPN Rise's National Freshman of the Year, lead Simeon to a 48-39 victory over Warren for its second consecutive and fifth overall state title.
Chicago is called the City of Big Shoulders. If following in the footsteps of the MVP might be too much of a burden to some, it's not to the soft spoken Parker. The Parker name carries a lot of weight in Chicago, where his father, Robert "Sonny" Parker, has tried to give back to the community that helped raise him.
His dad, Sonny, was an all-state player over at Farragut, the alma mater of Kevin Garnett. Mr. Parker then became a Junior College All-American at Mineral College and spent his last two years in College Station at Texas A&M, where he was named the Southwest Conference Player of the Year. After graduating, he became a first round draft pick in 1976 of the Golden State Warriors, where he played in the Bay Area for his entire six-year NBA career.
In 1990, he began the Chicago-based Sonny Parker Youth Foundation, a non-profit which seeks to offer year-round recreational and educational after-school programs for Chicago kids in grades K-12, in order to provide alternatives to gang and drug-related violence that still plagues parts of the Windy City. In the mid-90s, the altruistic Mr. Parker would have the last of his seven children, Jabari, who likely will turn out to be the best basketball player of his scion and a future contributor to the legacy of his foundation.
A 3.5 student, Jabari Parker, is very demanding of himself on and off of the court, but feels that his Mormon faith has kept him grounded, as others have tried to tout him as the next great one. Looking for a demanding college coach that will treat him the same as his teammates, the versatile Parker traveled to Durham this past winter to catch a Duke game with Shabazz Muhammad. The 2013 prospect has spoken with Duke coaches Mike Krzyzewski and Nate James and appreciates their straightforward approach.
In April, Jabari visited the University of Washington, where reportedly Coach Romar, a former Golden State Warrior teammate of Sonny Parker, is interested in hiring his older brother, Christian.
At a recent AAU tournament, the gracious Jabari Parker, who now plays with Nike's Mac Irvin Fire, spoke at length exclusively with Blue Devil Nation.
Which schools are recruiting you?
The full list?
Well, as many as you want to mention.
Sure, Duke, Kansas, Washington, Illinois, Michigan State, Northwestern, DePaul, Providence, Florida and that's it, really.
Note – I have never seen a more in depth, informative and concise interview with a player of major interest to Duke fans as this Jabari Parker interview conducted by BDN Recruiting Analyst Andrew Slater. You will be a flat out expert on Parker by the time you read this 3264 word interview and learn about a key prospect In short, join BDN Premium. And folks, we are just scratching the surface on warm ball recruiting coverage! Once you are a member and finish this article, you can then jump to the latest on Alex Poythress and Tony Parker and there is more to come. And remember, this interview is exclusive, meaning you will not find it elsewhere nor will you see well studied questions designed to bring you up close and personal, BDN style. – Mark Watson
That's plenty. Do you have a timeline for when you'd like to decide by?
I'm going to [private] open up my recruitment fully. I'm not going to commit too early because I'd like to get my teammates the same good looks that I've received.
You want to give them the opportunity to have all of those eyes watching them.
Yeah, that's right.
That's generous of you. For those that haven't seen you play in person or, perhaps, have only seen your highlights on YouTube, can you describe your game to the audience? How do you view yourself?
It's not complete. I feel that there's still a lot that I have to work on, but I feel that I sometimes lack all the intangibles. Like there are times where I find myself being lazy and not diving for loose balls or grabbing an extra offensive rebound that I should or even sometimes not moving enough without the ball. Some of my strengths are that I can shoot well. I'm a triple threat. I'm pretty good at scoring on the break. In transition, I'm able to make passes and I'm good defensively. That's it.
In terms of position, what do you view yourself as? A three? Four?
Yeah, a 3/4. In high school, they run me at a lot of four.
Yeah, outside of two high school games with Simeon, I've primarily watched you on the AAU circuit, where they've played you at both forward spots and even a bit at center. Who is "the guy" that you try to model your game after? Is there any one player or a couple of guys?
Some of the main small forwards in the League, like Paul Pierce, a lot of people compare me to him. I like to watch Carmelo Anthony a lot though.
Alright, finally, a Knick gets mentioned.
He's such a tremendous overall offensive weapon. Either in Chicago or on the AAU circuit, who's been the most difficult guy for you try to contain?
It was Anthony Davis at the NBA Top 100 camp. He was so difficult to match-up against.
What are you looking for ideally in a college program, whenever you do decide? What are some things?
Yeah, I'm looking for a school that will treat me the same as everybody else. At the same time, I'm able to work hard and push myself to the highest levels of basketball. I'm also just looking for a good relationship with the coaching staff and one with good school spirit.
You mentioned schools all across the country. Will distance be a factor for you or not really?
Not really, wherever I go, I'll be able to see my parents or they'll come out to my games to see me. That's fine.
Would they be interested in relocating?
I don't know about that. My dad's in Chicago most of the time and he's really been there for most of his whole life.
Speaking of that, can you compare your game to your dad's? For those that may not know, your dad, Sonny Parker, was a pro for a number of years.
Yeah, sure, a lot of people around the city say that I have some of the same moves like he had and the same athleticism. Well, not really because he was more athletic than I am. Yeah, my father's been there for me and he's been an inspiration and I'm fortunate to have a father figure in my life. A lot of these kids don't have fathers in their lives.
Yeah, I was talking a little bit about it last night with another father, Mr. Pinson, and he was saying that it's an absolute shame that a lot of fathers don't want to be in their son's lives. You're fortunate.
Yeah, and I'm also fortunate because he went to the next level in the NBA.
Yeah, well, that's another story. (laughs)
Does he give you a lot of pointers or is he, sort of, hands off, in terms of basketball?
Yeah, he gives me advice, but he doesn't really try to coach me or anything like that. He mostly gives me advice.
When you need it…he, sort of, picks his spots.
Yes, exactly.
Speaking of that, who will be some people in your life that will be influential in your college decision? Your mother and father?
Yeah, it'll just be my inner circle. My coach from Simeon, Rob Smith. My mom and dad. My brothers, you know, my whole family.
Where do you fit in, in terms of your family? Are you the youngest? Forgive me for not knowing or remembering. It's been a long day.
No, it's okay. I'm the youngest and I've got two older brothers. One played overseas in Hungary and my other brother is trying to coach at the University of Washington.
Oh, okay. Can you tell the audience a little bit about you away from the court? What would you like them to know about you as a person?
I try to be a really good person. I'm able to click with people. I care about people and I'm humble.
I'm a first-hand witness to that. In terms of your faith, it's a somewhat unusual one.
Yeah, it is.
I literally never have asked about their religion or faith, but, if you don't mind, could you touch on that and possibly how it differentiates you or fills a void?
It helps me stay calm and stay spiritual. Like, I'm not better than anybody else, but I'm also the same as anybody else. I'm just a normal person that happens to play basketball. I'm glad that I have it in my life because I find that it keeps me grounded. I was glad to see people like Jimmer and Danny Ainge have success with spirituality in their lives.
In terms of Chicagoland, they've got a basketball history as strong as anybody. These things ebb and flow, but there's been a bit of a renaissance in Chicago the last couple of years and its continued into your class and the 2014 one as well. Nationally, I'd say Chicago, the New England prep schools, and Texas will be the story over the next couple of years. Can you talk about your class and some of the other bright stars set to come out of the city?
Well, it's always been good over the past years, but, in the past year or so, it's been really good to see some of our guys get national attention like Wayne Blackshear, Anthony Davis, Michael Henry, Sam Thompson. They've really taken Chicago and represented it very well. I'm very glad that the number one player in the country is Anthony Davis of Chicago. I think he does a good job of representing the city real well.
I've dealt with him a few times and he seems to be a really nice kid.
Yeah, he's very nice. He's real nice to everybody.
It's nice to see also a person "come out of nowhere" and wind up as one of the top players in his class. It can be inspirational for future ballers to keep grinding.
Yeah, and he doesn't even have a really big ego either. He's just a really ordinary person and those characteristics, like his personality didn't change just because he became a really good basketball player.
It'll probably help him later in life after he stops playing as well. Speaking of that, do you have any interest in following your brother into coaching as well?
Yeah, kinda sorta, but I just really want to give back to the community. Chicago has done so much for me and it's helped me get out of the streets and stuff. I'd like to work on returning the favor.
How would you go about that? Have you thought about that?
Yeah, I have. I'll take over my dad's foundation and just work to expand it. Hopefully, helping people in the community.
I've heard from people, including coincidentally today, talk about your father and his foundation. Tell the audience a little bit about what your father does, his foundation and what it looks to achieve.
He really deals with the youth of Chicago and he helps hold workouts and camps for kids and stuff. He tries to reach out..
To keep kids off the street and use that energy toward a more positive means.
Exactly, and he also ran an AAU organization. Actually, Anthony Davis was one of the first players there and Wayne Blackshear. That foundation is really highly thought of by people that play basketball.
That's great. Let's talk about your team, Mac Irvin. You've got some guys that also play alongside you at Simeon. What do you think of your squad this year, the level of talent on Mac Irvin this year, and potentially how it'll help you adjust to playing the college game?
It's similar. I think this tournament, the EYBL, the league will help me to be a better basketball player and get me to look closely at the stuff that I'm not able to do. Stuff that I need to improve at. So, this'll help me to improve for college, the next level, when it's really faster.
Do you like or even prefer to play in transition? You do it very well for a guy your size.
Yeah, I love transition because, like, on the break, the other guys can't really set up in their defenses.
Right. I've noticed you picking angles and spaces in transition, which is relatively advanced for a guy your age too. You pick your spots.
Yeah, you're right.
I should've asked you this before, but what kind of system would you like to play in and how important will that be in your ultimate decision? You've got some very different offensive systems or philosophies listed among your college choices.
Yeah, I mean I like a transition offense. That could help me in the NBA because mainly there's a lot of fast break points and a lot of one-on-one stuff. So, if that's stuff that I can improve at, then it'll also help make me into a better basketball player.
Are you a Bulls fan, by the way?
I like the Bulls, but I've got to go with my Celtics.
Oh, a Celtics fan. That's interesting. Did coaches come and visit you during the open period?
Do you mean, like, come by the school?
Yes, exactly.
Oh, well, I wasn't at the school at the time, but I heard that BYU came. Illinois, Michigan State, and, I think, Nevada. I was away, but I also heard that Memphis was there for Kendrick Nunn from Simeon and they're looking at him.
What are you hoping to accomplish this summer?
Just a buildup for the season. You know just get myself out there on the circuit and play with the EYBL, which is new to me because I played with Ferrari before.
Will you be playing with both programs?
No, no.
Strictly Mac Irvin for the rest of the year?
Yeah, that's it.
In terms of something like skill development, are you looking to work on your perimeter shot? It seems like you've been either a little more comfortable shooting from the mid-range and deep this year or are, at least trying to expand your game?
Yeah, I can improve my shot a lot. I'm working on getting my shot a little better and getting my handle a little better.
And how about your body?
I'm working on that too. I'm trying to get a little more ripped.
I noticed that your shoulders are getting a little bit bigger.
Yeah, and I've lost a little bit of weight, too.
How did you do it? Was it a lot of conditioning? What was your secret?
Conditioning, yeah, I've just been working out at the Attack Center with Tim Grover.
Oh, yeah? That's a big time place.
Yeah, me and Tommy Hamilton. I've been building my body up and getting my wind back.
Speaking of you and Tommy Hamilton, are you interested in going to college together? Are you being recruited together?
We've been talking about it. We're interested in going to college together, and I know that he's really interested in Illinois, Michigan State, and Minnesota and those schools. That could be a factor because, you know, me and him grew up together. We have a lot of fun together, he's a real laid back guy. He really doesn't have any beef with people or hold any grudges.
In terms of you next year at Simeon, what are your hopes and expectations for next season? Another state title?
Yeah, another state title and to get on the national scene because next year will be my first year going out to like the big-time places.
Which ones are you going to in case some members of the audience want to catch a game?
We're going to Pittsburgh, we're going to Boston, and I think we're going to Melrose.
Last week there was some speculation that Washington may be your leader because your brother might be hired there as a coach. Can you talk about that, if you would? If it's a touchy issue, we can just move on.
No, no, it's cool. When I went out to Washington, it was very nice. I'm trying to take all my recruitment like all my top five equally. I don't really have a high, but since I went out there, it gave me a better look and a better experience with the campus and the University.
What other schools have you visited?
I've visited Michigan State, Duke, and, you know, Illinois is right down the road.
Oh, sure, and probably DePaul, too.
Oh, yeah, and DePaul, too, definitely.
What did you see and do on those visits?
Yeah, those schools, they have a lot of traditions and I liked a lot of the campuses that they have. They have really good athletic dorms and, you know, I like the coaches and the basketball players.
Did you visit BYU as well?
No, I haven't.
Can you talk about your visit to Duke and what was your impression of the school?
Yeah, Duke was very good. Coach K is one of the best coaches ever. He's a guy that I can trust and, when I was talking to him, he was telling me the truth and not telling me what I wanted to hear. That stuff that's going to help me in the future and stuff. Nate James is a really nice guy. And I could get a really good education when I go to Duke, too.
Are you a good student as well?
Yeah, I'm good, but sometimes I can lack on the tests and stuff. Yeah, I have a 3.5.
That's very solid.
I could really be better.
What would you like to major in?
I major now in Information Technology. In my school, that's my career path.
Right, are you good at working with computers? What do you study or do with respect to IT? I apologize.
No, it's okay. We work out on Microsoft, like on Windows and stuff, and Excel. Like formatting documents and stuff so that we can do, like, newsletters for the school and stuff. But, when I go to college, I'll probably major in Communications or Secondary Education. Maybe, one day, if I'm a high school teacher, I'll be able to coach in high school.
Would you like to coach at Simeon one day or would you rather somewhere else?
Probably somewhere else. I'd like to go to a program where I could build it on my own.
Getting back to your father for a second, with all of his connections, has it helped you meet and play with better players? Maybe at the NBA level?
Well, my dad, you know, he's been playing since the 70s and stuff. Like, I've had the opportunity to meet a lot of people through him like John Lucas and those guys and they help me look at basketball not as the business aspect, but something to love and stuff. It's something that you want to do, not something that you have to do.
Much more of a pure aspect to it.
Yes, exactly.
Thank you very much for your time.
No, thank you. Thank you. I enjoyed it.

More reviews by courtneymbridge
Decided to buy some nice powder foundation to seal the liquid foundation i use. I went with makeup forever's duo tone, and love it so far. It seals the liquid in and lasts all day just as i had hoped. And if i do chose to re apply it at night time, it doesn't look heavy and doesn't feel heavy either.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm on the fence if I would get this again. I was in Sephora, wanted a powder to use for touchups during the day, because I use BE mineral and it's a fricking mess, even in their special compact, to use for touchups. She recommended this. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but thought I'd try it. I've since learned the kind of powder I was looking for, mostly for shiny midday face, is at MAC.
If I apply this with the sponge it looks way too thick and cakey. Using a brush works much better for me. As long as I use moisturizer and primer, I get a smooth texture and consistant coverage. It does seem to settle harshly around my eyes, but honestly, what doesn't these days? Old age is setting in.
So is it terrible? No. Is it great? No. It does work for the midday touch up, but perhaps so would a touch up powder, not a powder foundation. I'll probably try something else before buying this again. However, I may also dump BE because I'm tired of the mess, and if I do, I know that this is a decent foundation powder.
Well, crap. I dropped it and the entire pan broke apart and had to be thrown away. Disaster! It did lead me to try sephora's brand of mattifying powder which is much less expensive and I like it better. So not an entire waste!
update: This is so not worth the money. The compact is flimsy and actually broke. The part that hold the powder just broke off when I opened it. The mirror that comes with it is a little half moon shape. Can't even see whole face. The sponge is awful and just soaks up the powder. And as for the actual powder I will say the color match is excellent but it gives the coverage of a pressed powder and can look very chalky! Also...it doesnt last at all!!! See my review for Too Faced Amazing Face Powder Foundation. Soooo much better and worth the money. I have oily skin and olive skin tone fyi. I wore this in 203 and Too Faced in Honey Beige.
I know I gave this a "mediocre" rating and yet I will still buy it again! Alas, after my HG powder foundation by Anna Sui was discontinued (and I bought up all the ones on ebay remaining!) I had to find a new powder foundation. For reference I have oily skin, minimal breakouts, am 27, with olive Latina skin tone. So, I tried several powder fdts before I bought this one. I tried: Stila IPF and mark Buff Skin. Did not like either bc hardly gave any coverage. The Stila looked chalky.
So, I like this powder foundation because it gives excellent coverage. I apply with the sponge if I want more coverage. It does look so powdery though after applied so I have to spritz with spring water in a bottle (or can use Mac Fixx) to get rid of that powdery look after applied. I do like this also because for yellow undertones/olive skin it is the best I have found for complementing those yellow undertones. It is a very good match in color and makes the face look nice and even toned. It also seems to last awhile and I do not need to reapply at all! I just use an oil blotter and dab my oily areas like powder maybe once a day.
So, I do not like the packaging bc it is a flip compact with the sponge under it.
All in all, it will do.
Coverage is medium. It's a little hard to blend and the product can look uneven if you don't apply it right. Not particularly drying but hard on the skin around the eyes - you need a liquid concealer for that area. Photographs ok. Lasting power is medium.

i used to use MAC Studio Fix. but EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHERS were telling me that it makes everyone break out. (i have MAJOR pimples) i loved it because it gave me complete coverage.. (it did have its flaws for sure though) anywho i can honestly say i love this stuff.it gives just as much coverage as MAC Studio FIx but it doesn't change color like MAC did after wearing it for a while. i have the definition of combo skin. it still makes me look shiny mid day but then again i dont wear primer... so pretty much it gives GREAT coverage if thats what you need. it is amazing for people with acne scars.. but if you dont need a full coverage pressed powder save your money and get something else :)
P.S im on my 5th purchase

I HATE it.
First of all, I have combination skin, I'm only oily in the T-zone, and quite dry in the cheeks and undereyes.
This foundation is cakey, looks heavy. It is also pretty dry, so it makes my pores even more obvious. The worst of it is, within an hour, my nose area looks shiny, the powder is not mattifying at all. And it has no staying power on oily skin.
And the color is off, it was actually the SA's fault. I am usually MAC NC20, with this powder color 201 looks too white on me. I remembered I emphasized wanting to look natural, instead of like Snow White, but the SA gave me 201 anyway. I think maybe 202 would be better.
I look horrible with this powder.
I am thinking of trashing it.
ABSOLUTELY NOT repurchase.
By the way, the only lippie is for the package. I think it's quite clever.
This is a great product. I have EXTREMELY oily skin. I use this over all liquid foundations as a setting powder. The finish gives a natural matte finish. If you have oily skin, this is a great product for you.

This foundation provides medium-full coverage - evens out skintone perfectly but really red acne scars will still require concealer. However, the finish is quite appalling really - it accentuated my pores and whatever bumps (milia/pimple) that I had on my skin. It's also not very long lasting. Once my skin became oily, my scars kinda revealed themselves. Its mattifying ability is inferior to Laura Mercier's powder foundation; I tested this foundation on one side of my cheek and Laura Mercier's powder foundation on the other and the side with the duo mat became shiny quicker than the other side (Laura Mercier).
This would probably work much better for someone who has less oily skin and a smoother skin surface to begin with.
I got this in 202 and I'm NC20 in MAC.

This foundation is definitely worth trying. It goes on like butter with the sponge or with a kubuki brush. I use both, btw. It covers nicely. It's definitely matte but not dry or cakey. It doesn't last all day without touching up, It lasts me about 6-8 hours though. I live in Southern California so the weather in the summer/fall gets up to 105+ degrees and it doesn't melt off. I have yet to try it in the winter when my skin tends to get drier so I'll definitely come back with an update.
But for now, this is my HOLY GRAIL foundation. I have no complaints. I will buy backups!
I guess the down fall is that I hit pan pretty quickly... I can size a pin sized part of the pan right in the middle of the pan. BUT I have a ton of product on the sides. The price? $32 isn't all that expensive to me. I've been desensitized due to my love of high end cosmetics though.
