Thursday, September 24, 2009 - By Raphael Sachetat. Pix by BadmintonPhoto
Any lesser person would have called it quits. But not Germany's Nicole Grether.
Still grieving from the passing of her father in January, the German, who mainly plays in the women's doubles with Canada's Charmaine Reid, is also without a sponsor. And that means sacrificing many of the privileges that ther professional players enjoy on the circuit.
There is no expensive hotel rooms, a room in a private apartment will suffice. She has t make it at least to the quarter-finals of the doubles if she hopes to break even with costs.
But on Thursday, Nicole showed resilience and steely determination to qualify for the last eight of the women's singles, an event she has given up for the past three years, when she beat Indonesia's Adriyanti Firdasari in the second round of the YONEX Japan Open in Tokyo.
"I was talking to myself, at the end. I was calling for his help in order to focus. He helped me win today and he would be so proud to see me achieve a quarter final in a Super Series," said Nicole between tears of joy in obvous reference to her late father.
"It's an incredible win for me. I had given up singles and stopped playing this event for 3 years to focus on women's doubles, then, I snapped my Achilles' tendon at the end of 2007, and when I came back it was like a new beginning so I started playing singles again even if doubles remains my priority. Never would I have imagined reaching this stage in such a big event.
"With Charmaine (Reid), we have no sponsors, we just get some clothing and rackets from YONEX – which I'm already grateful for, and a little bit of help from a Canadian Company, but that's it. We have to pay for all our travels, our hotels, on our own as we are not supported by any Federation," adds Nicole, who is sharing her travels with her double's partner Charmaine Reid from Canada.
"Even if it's great to be able to have different training opportunities – like we have in Germany, or nowadays in Vancouver with Ardy Wiranata - it remains very difficult to keep touring the circuit, without a coach and without any other support," adds the German, who does not stay in the expensive official hotel, but in a room of a private apartment in Roppongi in order to save some money.
"It all comes down to that, and for us, we'd have to make it at least to the quarter-finals of the single's event to break even, or twice in the second round when there are two competitions back to back. And the worst part is that the Super Series first rounds are not being rewarded anymore, so, it's made our life even more difficult even if we qualify to the main draw."
Nicole beat Firdasari, who had hoped that her previous win against Zhou Mi would definitely open her doors to the quarters at least, 15/21 – 21/19 – 27/25 victory. Nicole will take on Eriko Hirose, who stunned Wong Mew Choo in three games to the home fans' delight.
Nicole's success wasn't the only surprise of the day in that event, as Tine Rasmussen, third seed, was ousted in spite of a brilliant start against China's new star Wang Xin. Winning the first game 21/15, the tall Dane was then unable to match Wang's pace and found herself a bit too late on some of the Chinese's drops and attacks.
The 18 year old went on for a three-game victory 15/21 – 21/15 – 21/14 to settle a quarter-final clash against Japan's Mayu Sekiya, who surprised everyone by beating China's Jiang Yanjiao in three games, scooping a second spot for Japan in the event.
The other big surprise of the day was in the mixed doubles where scratch pair Vita Marissa and Hendra Gunawan beat the mighty Chinese Zheng Bo and Ma Jin. After a splendid match, the Indonesian duo took both second and third games to enter their first quarter-final on their first attempt as a pair – Vita had had similar success with Nova Widianto in the past and Flandy Limpele next.
Nova Widianto, on his end, had a very easy match together with Lilyana Natsir, beating Japan's Kamura and Yonemato, basically walking during the rallies and hardly pushing his talent.

Politicos recall the president
President John F. Kennedy was killed by an assassin's bullet nearly 50 years ago in Texas and the vivid memories of the tragic day still haunt prominent and former leaders in this small city.
Kennedy brought his campaign through Pueblo just months before his death.
Many people remember his visit here, but the assassination on Nov. 22, 1963, is far more clear to most.
Ray Kogovsek, a former congressman who works as a lobbyist, was a junior at Adams State University, living in a basement apartment.
"It was a cold late morning and kind of snowing in the (San Luis) Valley and I was downstairs studying for an exam," Kogovsek recalled.
"My landlord came down and told me that I had to get upstairs and look at the TV."
Kogovsek, 72, heard the words most Americans dreaded to hear that day, "The President has been shot."
"We sat in the living room for a couple hours just watching the coverage," Kogovsek said.
"After I heard that he was dead, I walked to the campus and people were like zombies. Nobody knew what to say, nobody knew what to do. All of the classes were canceled."
Kogovsek said the president's death changed the country.
"It took our innocence away. The change is hard for me to describe. I didn't feel the same after it happened."
Former City Council President Mike Occhiato was stationed at Moffett Field in the Navy in Mountain View, Calif.
"I was the duty officer at the time and received a phone call stating that we were going to increase our defense alert. They told me that the president had been injured in an assassination attempt," Occhiato said.
He learned about the president's death 20 minutes later.
"Naturally we increased our defense alert. I briefed patrol flights as they landed," Occhiato recalled.
"It was a shock to everybody, but we maintained our composure and carried on."
Occhiato, 74, said even as a Republican, he respected Kennedy and would follow his orders without hesitation.
"I'd have taken a bullet for him," Occhiato said. "It was like losing a member of my family."
Former City Councilman Ray Aguilera heard the news while visiting an aunt in California.
"Walter Cronkite came on and announced that the president had died. He had tears in his eyes," Aguilera said.
"This really shook the whole country. People saw him as being youthful and full of vigor. He was Catholic and he had a young family."
Aguilera, 72, said he was depressed.
"I cried. It made me sick to think someone would want to take this beautiful man's life in a savage way," Aguilera said.
"Back then, people had a picture of the Virgin of Guadalupe on their wall, the Pope, Jesus and Kennedy."
Kogovsek said Kennedy and Pueblo were connected.
As a freshman congressman in 1979, Kogovsek met Kennedy's brother, Sen. Ted Kennedy.
"He remembered his brother's visit to Pueblo. He said, 'We will always remember Pueblo,' " Kogovsek recalled.
"The president was Catholic and this was a Catholic town. He was a Democrat and this was a Democratic town. I think there was a special connectivity."
Kathy DeNiro a Pueblo City Schools board member and retired principal, was traumatized as a 10-year-old in Pueblo after hearing of the assassination.
She said after walking home for lunch her mother told her that the president was shot.
"She threw her groceries down on the floor and turned the TV on," DeNiro said.
"I never saw my mother react to something so emotionally on TV. I remember Walter Cronkite saying the president was dead. My mom screamed and cried."
DeNiro said the event startled her.
"For three to four months after that, I couldn't go into a dark room. I thought I was going to see President Kennedy dead," she said.
"I slept with the lights on. I remember it like it was yesterday."
DeNiro said the scene of the president's motorcade in Texas resembled what she saw when Kennedy came to Pueblo.
"That was another scary thing, that maybe it could have happened here," DeNiro said.
"It stunned Pueblo because he had been here."

Military Social Work Thinking in South Africa
Military social workers in South Africa have developed distinctive ways of thinking about military social work. These developments have been influenced by various contextual factors, such as the transition of South Africa to a non-racial democracy in 1994 and the establishment of a military social work research capacity. These factors contributed to new ways of thinking, such as the recognition that military social work has a mandate to facilitate organizational change and the adoption of a resilience perspective. A central development in military social work thinking in South Africa was the formulation of a Military Social Work Practice Model, which is described and illustrated in some detail. This model emphasizes binocular vision (focusing on the interface between soldiers and the military organization) and four practice positions, derived from occupational social work theory. The author notes the importance of creating appropriate contexts that facilitate further developments in military social work theory.

Changala Winery
Berardo Winery
Ancient Peaks
We are a family-owned winery founded upon a single estate vineyard that is remarkable in location, striking in quality and unique in history. Margarita Vineyard is the southernmost vineyard in the Paso Robles appellation on California's Central Coast. Here, amid the rugged Santa Lucia mountain range just 14 miles from the Pacific Ocean, Margarita Vineyard stands alone as the only vineyard in its vicinity, and thus the only vineyard to benefit from the extraordinary growing conditions of the area. Margarita Vineyard resides in the historic Santa Margarita Ranch, which was first planted to vines by Franciscan missionaries in 1774. The name Ancient Peaks is a tribute to the geologic heritage of Margarita Vineyard, which is most evident in the towering mountains that preside over the vines. The ancient forces behind these peaks gave rise to the fossilized soils and climate-shifting terrain that distinguish our wines.
Dunning Vineyards Estate Winery
A small, family-run winery has the luxury to hand-craft every step in an ancient process. We at Dunning vineyards hope to delight you with our fine estate wines and give you a chance to learn our style of wine-making.
Bianchi Winery
Veris Cellars
Halter Ranch Vineyard
Our vineyard is planted to many different grape varieties – both Bordeaux and Rhone-style, plus Zinfandel, Tannat and Tempranillo. The vines are planted on steep, south-facing slopes reaching 1800 feet in elevation and boasting soils rich in limestone, a feature of many of the world's finest vineyards. High-density plantings, multiple clones and rootstocks, and low yields enable us to produce fruit of superb quality. We are committed to the environment. In 2008 Halter Ranch earned the SIP Certification, (Sustainability in Practice) in all our farming and winemaking operations.
Cypher Winery
Cypher is the latest project between Four Vines founders Christian Tietje and long time business partner Susan Mahler aka Sam. Christian and Sam are in a new creative wave pushing the envelope again. Their goal with Cypher Winery is to continue what they started with the "Freakshow" and focus on the art of high-end winemaking.
Adelaida's wines begin at the roots, pushing through the rocky limestone soils on the west side of Paso Robles on California's Central Coast. The winery, which originated in 1981, is located 14 miles east of the Pacific Ocean at an elevation of 1,800 feet in the Santa Lucia mountain chain. The winery is a vineyard driven operation that considers itself a foremost proponent of the potential of west side Paso Robles. Adelaida's wild and rugged mountainside vineyards are loaded with limestone and calcareous shale. According to winemaker Terry Culton, "these characteristics cause the vines to strengthen. This results in added stress on the vines, which lowers the yields but produces more intensely flavored fruit". In keeping with the winery's sustainable philosophy, the vineyards are not tilled, encouraging native grasses, wild sage and rosemary to flourish between the rows. Adelaida produces from its own Estate vineyards and a select group of contracted vineyards on the west side of Paso Robles. Amongst its holdings are the two principal estate properties, Viking Vineyard and HMR Vineyard. The mighty Viking Vineyard was planted in 1992 and is now producing great Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. The historic HMR Vineyard was pioneered by Dr. Stanley Hoffman in the early 60s. Devoted care and substantial investment have returned these 40+ year old vineyards to their former glory. Intense, high quality wines are convincing first-time tasters and experts alike.
Peachy Canyon Winery
Peachy Canyon Winery is a small family owned winery in the beautiful wine country of Westside Paso Robles on the Central Coast of California; near Hearst Castle and Big Sur. Peachy Canyon Winery specializes in estate Zinfandels and has been family owned and operated by the Beckett Family since 1988. Experience the best the Paso Robles Westside has to offer. Come by and sample our award-winning Zinfandels and other acclaimed varietals in our Old School House tasting room. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Eberle Winery
Eberle handcrafts 25,000 cases of wine each year from surrounding Estate vineyards. And, after more than 25 years since the release of the Eberle label, the winery consistently remains one of the highest award-winning wineries in the United States.
Anglim Winery
Castoro Cellars
In the span of two dozen years, Niels and Bimmer have gone from making a few barrels of wine for family and friends in a rented corner of someone else's winery to developing a custom-crush operation and a 60,000-case operation for Castoro Cellars. Most recently, the Udsens purchased two local vineyards, one aptly named "Hog Heaven" after the wild hogs that inhabit the area. The second vineyard, "Blind Faith," got its name when the opportunity to buy the vineyard arose. Niels' wife Berit, or "Bimmer," was in Denmark at the time. Niels called her and together they acted quickly on "blind faith".

2014 is here! Although the countdown to midnight is behind us, we're counting down the top 8 travel trends for the new year.
1. Domestic flight prices will drop (insert cheering here!). According to the American Express Global Business Travel Forecast 2014, "North American airfares are expected to decline in 2014 as a result of heightened competition from low cost carriers, challenging unemployment levels and corporate travel policies becoming more stringent in regard to business class travel." Stable oil prices will also help keep costs down. Don't hold your breath though. The pending consolidation of major U.S. airlines may offset these declines.
2. Brazil's World Cup will cause a buzz with travelers. According to Brazil's tourist board, the country is expecting approximately 10 million visitors for the World Cup – more than twice their normal amount of visitors. Why will this sporting event draw so many visitors? Soccer is growing in popularity in the United States and this World Cup will be the first global soccer championship held in South America in almost 40 years.
3. Multi-generational travel will grow. The family groups that started the trend have impressed their remaining kin with their Facebook postings and now everyone wants to join in the party. Watch for family reunions to reach upward toward 100 in the coming year; just be sure you're booking every member of the clan, grab the whole piece of that pie.
4. Fewer European cruises will be available. According to Fodor's, European ports will be much sleepier as soon as the summer season of 2014. Carnival, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean and Regent Seven Seas have either reduced their number of ships or pulled out of Europe all together. Fodor's sites dwindling passengers rates as the reason cruise lines made the tough decision.
5. Travelers will share even more on social media. While this trend probably doesn't surprise you, more travelers are turning to sites like Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter to not only plan their vacations, but to share their adventures and get tips from other travelers.
6. Free Wi-Fi will be more readily available. In 2013, you saw Wi-Fi offered in several hotels and airplanes. That number will continue to grow this year, with more airports, hotels and airlines offering free Wi-Fi to their customers.
7. Vacation rental homes will compete with traditional hotels. Sites like airbnb and VRBO offer travelers the opportunity to stay in spare rooms, apartments or even rent an entire home. This option can often save you money and offers the comforts of your own home.
It's your turn to tell us – what are your travel-related predictions for 2014? Leave a comment below, share your thoughts with us on Facebook or Tweet us. We look forward to hearing your predictions and seeing if they come true!

Category: 1099's
1099-C: Discharge of Indebtedness. What is this form and what do I do with it?
If you received a Form 1099-C, this amount is generally reported as income on your return. A 1099-C is received when you have a debt (home, credit card, student loan, etc.) Cancelled. When this happens, it means that you received money when the debt was initially incurred, but you never had to pay it back. Because you are not paying the debt back, it turns out that the original debt was actually income, and it must be reported on your return.
To enter a 1099-C in our program go to Federal section >> Income (Enter Myself) >> Other Income >> Cancellation of Debt (1099-C, Form 982)
Please note that there are certain circumstances when you can exclude the cancelled debt from your income. For information about these circumstances, Click here.

Maricopa County government continues to enjoy sound fiscal health despite a deep and prolonged recession. This is not by accident, but the result of cautious revenue projections, disciplined, structurally balanced budgeting with spending below anticipated revenues, close and continuous monitoring of revenues and expenditures and a pay-as-you-go approach to capital outlay, saving tens of millions each year in financing costs. Maricopa County Supervisors have set this practice as a continuing priority in the future. Without a firm fiscal footing, County government could not administer and deliver key public services to our citizens.
But governments at all levels will face formidable financial challenges in the future, particularly with depressed property values and the prospect of reduced federal funding because of the national deficit and debt crisis. The challenge is clear: The County must pursue relentless improvement in its service delivery. The County must be a national leader among large urban counties in providing and performing public services and functions at lower cost.
Additionally, the County should progress in its quest for "Fiscal Freedom," assuming the local costs of state-mandated functions while reducing its mandated fixed contributions to the State of Arizona.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (159 votes).
In short: Race has been organised since 1946 - they know what makes a good one.In full: Fast flat course based at the new improved shinny Mountbatten Centre. The rain held off, however the wind was up this year which scuppered my PB attempt. Excellent event.Date of review: September 15, 2013
In short: Flat fast 5 milerIn full: Came looking for a pb and was not disappointed. The final mile into a headwind was hard going on a blustery day but a flat course and fast field still ensured a quick time. Well organised and good value for a chip timed race. Date of review: September 15, 2013
In short: A good race with good PB potential, although I didn't manage a PB this year!In full: Don't really see the point of running a Hampshire Championship 5 mile race alongside a 10k fun run with both races starting at the same time in the same place on 4 lanes of a track! Other than that I enjoyed this race and will do it again.Date of review: September 26, 2012
In short: Fast course, always a strong field.In full: A fast course with a good quality field, definitely PB potential if the wind along the shore isn't too strong. Improvements to this race for next year would be to sort out the mile markers (1 and 4 were inaccurate by about 300 metres), however the rest seemed about right. The start was also a little crowded with only 4 lanes of the track used.Date of review: September 19, 2012
In short: small things like the MILE MARKERS 1 and 4 so out by a full .2m - unacceptable for a race of this quality - tried reporting it to RD who siad well done on a sub 5mm and siad garmins are always out.... Im not capable of a sub 5mmIn full: Apert from this with the mile markers, this is an exceptional race with good PB potential, the memento was unique this year in a golden shoe, nice I like that.Not sure about the compact start this year, but the finish area much better and less congested than previous years. As usual the marshall were excellent.Date of review: September 16, 2012
In short: Well organised; good atmosphere; fats and flat, with good prospects for a PBIn full: Overall, well organised and well marshalled. Straightforward registration. Great course for a personal PB. Liked the golden shoe as a memento - certainly novel and made an interesting alternative to a medal! Thanks to everyone who made it happen.Date of review: September 16, 2012
In short: It's the little things that make all the differenceIn full: Yes, it's a fast flat course with PB potential (if the wind stays away), but some things about this race I just can't really forgive. The start, for instance, was a bit of a shambles - why start the race on a running track and then cram the start line into HALF its width? Ruined several people's PB ambitions right there. Then the positions of the mile markers was frankly laughable. I'll take my Garmin if there's a next time.I could make other criticisms regarding the "value" of the race and post-race memento relative to the entry fee, and the laborious registration procedure, but I'd like to keep it quite constructive. As it's a HRRL race, I'll probably end up doing it again, but I'd like a significantly improved experience next time.Date of review: September 16, 2012
In full: Good organisation, I like starting on the athletics track, will be the only time I ever get to run on one! Nice flat route, lots of off road running. I loved the shoe momento. I think there are a mixture of abilities so it caters for everyone one. I will be back next yearDate of review: September 16, 2012
In short: Another good event from Portsmouth A CIn full: Well organised,stadium start/finish,good facilities,well marshalled(Thank you marshals, couldn`t do these things without you) and plenty more good stuff.Date of review: September 20, 2011
In short: Enjoyable raceIn full: Mile marker seemed out for the 3rd mile, but a good race, nice pace and good terrain. Also recieved a lovely trophy on completing for the 65th anniversary of the race.Date of review: September 20, 2011

SOKO Says Goodbye Paris and Is Looking For Love
Contributing Monkie V Ol Blak
Published on September 28, 2010
Filed Under G/Videos, Pop Culture / Celebrities Tags Music, Soko
Everyone on the Planet knows I love Soko and if you don't, well, you must have be dropped down a well for the last few years or something! So, now you know, I love SOKO, the hot oh so sexy, French singer/actress who's lyrics tend to be raw and to the point. You know, from the heart basic stuff, with a bit of an edge. For example, in her first hit, "I'll Kill Her" she basically sings about a bitch who stoled her man, and she is out to kill her. Yes, it warmed my heart too!
Now in the two video gems I just discovered, Soko, gives Paris (France) the big middle finger for laughing at people who love animals and tells a guy in a Bar, stick it in me quickly… it would be fun. But for some reason the guy just wants to talk… oh no this isn't sounding like it's going well.
Both videos are raw real time stuff shot in a graveyard in Sydney Australia. Enjoy Monkies and tell me how much you love her too and don't even think about saying you don't get her! :) Monkies you don't want to even go there!
Second Video after the jump!

Clyde-Savannah boys basketball moves toward showdown with Wayne County-rival Lyons
Clyde-Savannah's boys basketball team soars again, but don't look for coach Tim Jackson to get carried away by the rise of the Golden Eagles.
Watkins Glen put an end to Clyde-Savannah's undefeated start, but the Golden Eagles bounced back on Jan. 4 with a 51-35 win at Gananda.
Clyde-Savannah senior Tom Kanaley, a 6-foot-3 swingman listed at 215 pounds, had 17 points. Kanaley scored his 1,000th varsity point last month. Kanaley, a Clyde resident, played the previous two seasons at Geneva DeSales.
"We have four guys who can get us 20 points every night and they are defending," Jackson said.
Section V title-talk around Clyde-Savannah probably won't get started for another week or so.
The Golden Eagles (7-1) were 8-0 last season, when their starting point guard left the team. They turned the ball over like New York Jets football quarterback Mark Sanchez and limped to a 4-8 record after their strong start.
"The big week is coming," Jackson said.
Next, is Red Jacket (4-3) from the Finger Lakes league on Jan. 7. The Golden Eagles close the week on Jan. 10 at rival Lyons (7-0), state-ranked No. 7 among Class C schools. Clyde-Savannah is ranked 13th in the state.
Lyons is No. 3, Clyde-Savannah No. 4 in the Democrat and Chronicle's small schools boys basketball coaches poll.

Ralph Bunche, U.S. diplomat and the first African American to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (1950), once said: "If you want to get across an idea, wrap it up in a person."
I could not agree more, and we are doing just that through U.S. Embassy Kabul's Mission Speakers Program (MSP). The MSP recruits speakers from throughout the embassy by simply finding out about our colleague's experiences, and then building a relevant outreach event around their expertise for Afghan participants. For example, the first MSP activity connected a female diplomat who happened to be a former college basketball player with a group of high school girls participating in an embassy-funded sports and leadership program. Her presentation to the girls underscored the value of hard work, determination, and goal-planning, as she told the group: "Don't be afraid to fail and don't fear what others have to say -- achieving your goals is not easy." Several of the girls subsequently commented about how inspirational it was to hear another woman's story of overcoming obstacles to achieve her goals.
Outreach activities focusing on youths serve as opportunities for officers to build relationships based on shared interests and hobbies. Building upon our relationship with the Afghanistan National Institute of Music (Afghanistan's only music school), we programmed a saxophone-playing political officer and jazz-drumming staff assistant for jam sessions that incorporated musical, cultural, geographical, and historical surveys of traditional American music. In recognition of Black History Month, for instance, one of the activities connected specific periods in U.S. history to the development of jazz music. Not only did these activities encourage the students to continue improving their form and technique, but they also underscored the themes of overcoming adversity through positive social change.
In addition to our regular public affairs outreach programs, the MSP supports embassy-wide campaigns as well. In support of U.S. Embassy Kabul's 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence, for instance, the MSP programmed a female U.S. Air Force Brigadier General to lead a special discussion with over 50 students from the American University of Afghanistan (AUAF). Tapping into the Brigadier General's extensive background in domestic violence as a former prosecutor and judge, this outreach activity raised awareness of gender-based violence in Afghanistan (as well as the United States), explored international approaches to combating violence against women, and examined ways in which individuals can lead efforts to educate their peers and colleagues about the impact of gender-based violence in their communities.
People-to-people engagement -- through programs like the MSP -- forms a critical component of our public diplomacy work in Afghanistan. Since the MSP launched in October 2011, embassy officers have reached out to Afghan citizens -- with a special focus on youths and young adults -- while developing relationships based upon shared interests, such as sports, music, civic education, and international law. In so doing, they have been able to discuss themes that include creative expression, diversity, and civil society. Conducting outreach in Afghanistan is not always an easy task, yet the MSP is an invaluable opportunity for American diplomats to meet and interact with Afghans -- to build the proverbial cultural bridge between Afghans and Americans.

Q: What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
A: One of the craziest things that I have ever done is the Dare Devil Dive at Six Flags over Georgia. I went to Six Flags with a bunch of my friends one summer and we came across the Dare Devil Dive, a ride that takes two people up 10-stories high in a harness, then lets them free-fall and plunge towards the ground at 50 miles per hour. All of my friends wanted me to do this because they know how terrified I am of heights. After a few minutes of thinking it over, I decided I was not going to let my fears hold me back, and I did it!
Q: Do you cook and/or bake anything? If so, what are your special dishes?
A: I enjoy cooking a lot of different things but one dish that I really like to make is cheesy enchiladas. As for baking, I enjoy making red velvet cakes. My grandmother gave me her recipe and it is the best tasting cake that I have ever eaten!
Q: If you were handed 10 million dollars, what would you splurge on?
A: If I were given 10 million dollars I would first splurge on some new shoes, earrings, and purses to add to my collection. I would also give a portion of it to Camp Kemo so they could purchase land and be in a position to build a new site to hold camp each year for children living with cancer.
Q: If you could meet one celebrity, who would it be and why?
A: If I could meet one celebrity I believe it would be Bill Cosby, Jr. Mr. Cosby is an intelligent and articulate man who I see as one of the world's most respected, well-known entertainers and comedians. Throughout his career he has demonstrated a commitment to his education. He received his doctorate in Education from the University of Massachusetts, which to me was quite an accomplishment given everything that he was doing at the time; television, films, raising a family to mention a few.
Q: What is unique about you (something no other contestant can say about themselves)?
A: One thing that makes me unique from other people is that I am not in a hurry to grow up. My parents have always taught me to embrace every moment as it comes so later in life when I look back on my teen years I will have no regrets.
