HURST, Texas-- There's public outcry for the suspension of a Hurst police officer Sunday as a video of an officer's aggressive tactics to subdue a 17- year-old makes the rounds on social media.
Cell phone video caught Officer Disraeli Arnold, badge No. 654, running to knee a teenager in the head after he was wrestled to the ground by another officer and appeared to be under control.
The video shows Arnold admitting to kneeing the teen in the back of the head and swearing profusely while walking the young man to the patrol car. The teen was initially resisting arrest, but another officer held the suspect down and was directing him to roll over before Arnold sprinted into the frame.
The four-year veteran has been placed on administrative leave while the department investigates the incident, assistant chief Steve Niekamp said. Arnold works as a patrol officer.
Internal Affairs investigators released Arnold's work history Monday, which included five positive reviews, a letter of commendation for helping medics, several positive letters from citizens. It also includes a reprimand for being late to work, and one notation from a superior states that Arnold can be overzealous at times, which can lead to clouded judgment.
The video, posted to YouTube (Warning: contains very graphic language), had more than 30,000 views as of 5 p.m. Monday. Niekamp said a dispatcher was partaking in a ridealong with the first officer who was calming the teen, Miguel Jiminez. The dispatcher called for backup.
When something like this happens, you can't help but be embarrassed, Niekamp said on Monday. We have thousands of incidents and contacts every week and the majority of them are very professional and exactly what we expect.
Kelly Pope, the mother of of the teen who was kneed in the head, said something has to be done. She understands why the first officer quietly calmed her son after his arrest, but she wants Arnold suspended.
Pope said Tuesday afternoon her son, Andrew, was hanging out in Bellaire Park when he and his 17-year-old friend were arrested. She believes her son was unfairly targeted.
He wasn't saying anything the whole time this Officer Arnold was saying ugly, hateful things to him, Pope said. Y'know, 'Move and you're gonna [expletive] die,' 'give me a reason to [expletive] you up and hurt you.'
Pope admitted her son struggled with the officers, but calmed down after he was handcuffed. He was later charged with resisting arrest, although he did have a four-year-old failure to appear warrant from when he was in the eighth grade.
I was mad, I was hurt, Pope said. This is supposed to be somebody to protect the city and our children.
She plans to meet with Hurst's police chief Monday morning. Meanwhile, the city of Hurst released a statement that read, This is not behavior it promotes or condones in any way. We strive to build a stronger, safer community through our work around the city and will continue to do so through appropriate action.
The city said the incident is being investigated internally.
As for teens arrested, Kelly Pope's son spent three days in jail, and was released after posing a $200 bond for a resisting arrest charge. His friend, who shot the cell phone video, was arrested as well. He was charged with minor possession of tobacco and paraphernalia.

State forms are quite easy.
Most use data directly from the Federal form, so if you (or your Federal tax preparer) is using software to do the job the state gets done automatically with the federal form.
The bitch in Ohio is city tax forms. The problem is that most people live and work in different cities. The work city taxes are automatically withheld, but the resident city isn't. And resident cities have complex rules regarding how much credit they'll give you for a work city. More importantly for the computer-savvy-types on Slashdot, many cities have completely different tax laws but very similar names. Bedford and Bedford Heights use the same ZIP code, which confuses computers who decide which city you're in based on postal code. There's a City of Oakwood and two Villages of Oakwood, all of which charge income tax. None of these municipalities uses the same form (Oakwood City and Bedford proper are independent, Bedford Heights and the Oakwood near Cleveland uses the RITA form, the one in Paulding uses CCA).
Local control is nice, but it is diametrically opposed to the goal of easy paperwork.
As of now, 36% say they're not paying taxes to the US. Is that the percentace of non-US readers of slashdot? Or are most readers tax dodgers?

There was a time, many years ago, when I filed my own taxes, on paper, using a pencil and a hand calculator. I knew what every number was and how the calculations were done.
It kept getting more and more complicated and time consuming, until about 10 years ago I finally gave up. Now I plug the numbers into a program and it prints out the forms--correctly, for all I know. Even with a program, it is hugely complex.
The tax code has to be complex so that there will be places to hide the loopholes for rich people. I don't make enough money to benefit from the loopholes, but I make enough that I have to deal with the complexity. Every year by the time I'm done with it I'm spitting nails.

Are you saying that a 17 trillion dollar debt is perfectly fine?
It's not great, but it's not The End Of The World As We Know It. There are always spikes in the debt during major wars and economic crises. We had a higher debt-GDP ratio in World War 2 than we do now.
Are you saying that it's great that the the rate of increase is increasing?
First off, it's not. [washingtonpost.com] See Fig. 1-1: The deficit has been declining for the last few years. And while it is currently worse than anything since WW2, if you look at the 1980s you'll see that it's not *that* much worse.
Secondly, the reason for the current high deficits is high unemployment (fewer people paying taxes). In the short term (~5 years), we need more spending to make up the demand shortfall. Ideally that would have happened in 2009 with a ~$2T stimulus, but unfortunately we didn't get that. In the medium to long term, the deficit is dominated by Medicare and Medicaid costs. The Affordable Care Act will do a lot to lower those. Single-payer could probably do more, but unfortunately we didn't get that either.
Are you saying that the debt we are passing onto our children is of absolutely no concern?
It doesn't have to be, if we actually pay it off. Remember, we were running surpluses 15 years ago, and that didn't require massive budget cuts and the end of every safety net. The economy grows exponentially (for now, at least). Inflation is also exponential. The debt is an absolute dollar number, and does not grow on its own. (Bond rates have been dipping into the negative -- people are paying us to loan us money.) A moderate tax increase adds up (just as the Bush tax cuts have). And since taxes are super-duper-low right now, raising them (after the recession is over) is the easiest and least painful fix.
Why do you bring up what was happening in 1953 when the national debt was 275 billion dollars?
Which was 60% of GDP at the time. Absolute numbers are misleading. The U.S. has a staggeringly huge economy, so any number that's proportional to it will also be staggeringly huge. Sixty years of exponential growth adds up, so now we talk in trillions instead of billions. For comparison, the median household income at the time was under $5000 [census.gov].
You brought up a whole lot of extraneous and immaterial "facts" to argue with me. Nothing you said contradicted what I said. The government is out of control and all that's going to happen is more and more and more taxes.
The point of my response was that this is not, in fact, what is happening. It would take quite a lot of tax increases to get back to what has been normal for the last 60 years, and such tax increases would eliminate the deficit outright. Your statements about the government being "out of control" are vague by necessity, because you don't have trillions of dollars of actual "waste, pork, duplication, mismanagement, corruption, and stupidity" to point to. The spending that gets attention (like the stimulus and healthcare reform) are deficit-*reducing* measures.
(I'm still curious how you managed to get a huge tax increase, by the way.)
Our children are doomed -- but that's perfectly OK with you, just look at 1953 and ignore what's going on right now.
The only thing currently dooming "our children" is global warming. The debt probably isn't even in the top 10. This is good news. You should be happy about it.
To make my point perfectly clear: The problem isn't "taxes", the problem is DEBT. It's currently $53,112.68 for every man woman and child in the U.S. and it's going to get a lot worse.

You do not give specific figures about your taxes and the breakdown of where they come from, so I'll run some estimates based on the info you did give. If you make around 70k household gross that would mean you're taxed at 15% federally for the majority of that income. Simplified and adding 5% for state taxes comes out to 14k. $1500 owed on tax day means you paid in about $12.5K in the year or just over $1000 a month.
I imagine you probably pay a bit more for property tax as well, although it's impossible to estimate that without knowing where you live. It could be a hundred bucks or it could be several thousand.
So really you're probably paying around 20% plus whatever for property taxes. That is not a ridiculous amount by any measure. You have a cognitive dissonance that 70K a year is an unremarkable middle class income (which it is, although closer to upper middle class than working class for sure) but somehow the taxes paid on that income are exorbitant. They are certainly not. That is a perfectly reasonable amount to pay.
You are also seriously deluded if you think someone with a 40K household income is a welfare queen. That's somewhere around the 40th percentile of incomes in the US, ie more or less perfectly average.
The elitism apparent in your post is disgusting, honestly. You badly need to get some perspective. 70k a year is not "barely" middle class anywhere outside of Malibu or Westchester County. If you're having trouble making ends meet at that income level it comes from your spending habits and sense of entitlement, not from Uncle Sam.
I've yet to file the paperwork, but will be getting a refund. I'm just too lazy to tally up my medical deductions.
I've yet to file the paperwork, but will be getting a refund. I'm just too lazy to tally up my medical deductions.
I understand that sentiment. All-or-nothing deductions like medical expenses are a PITA when you find all the receipts, statements, etc., add it all up, and find out you're $200 under the threshold.
I have yet to fill the paper work, will get a refund.
Tax day is still far away, I can wait one more week
Why do so many people need to do their taxes at this time of year?
Can there really be that many people in the US who are using the wrong PAYE tax codes at their jobs, such that they expect their tax bill to be in debit or credit?
Or are the majority of Americans self-employed?
All tax returns are due April 15th, or the first non-holiday weekday after that unless you request an extension. If you have taxable income and a zero balance on your taxes, you're definitely living right, and should go out and buy a lottery ticket NOW! But even then, you wouldn't know that until after you did all the paperwork . .
Paperwork? Wouldn't some slashdotters file electronically? Or use tax software? (i left that option out of my extra list)
C'mon, wouldn't you expect the slashdot poll on something like this to at least ask:
u -- I hired someone to do my taxes.
v -- I've filed my taxes electronically and owed money.
w -- I've filed my taxes electronically and am due a refund.
x -- I've filed my taxes electronically, and I'm on of those idiots who paid >250% interest on a refund anticipation loan from my tax filing ser
I E-file, you insensitive clod!
Seriously, though, it gives me peace of mind to get the instant feedback, and getting it all taken care of as soon as my W2s are in order. Federal, State, Local all online.

"The Rite of Spring's" impact on visual culture should not be underestimated.
The ballet, its costumes and set designs influenced other artists, designers and choreographers for generations to come.
It all started with Nicholas Roerich, a Russian painter, writer, archaeologist and mystic. A Slavophile and expert on ancient Russian history, Roerich painted the backdrops and designed the costumes for "The Rite of Spring."
But he did much more than that. Along with Igor Stravinsky, he conceived the story ideas for the production, which was based on pagan rituals and a primitivist desire to return to the earth.
Roerich made the dancers' costumes look like colorful Russian and Slavic folk costumes, and painted ritual symbols on them, such as circles, triangles, diamonds and crosses.
He created numerous costume sketches and painted the backdrops with tempera and pastel. Large works such as "Kiss to the Earth" and "The Great Sacrifice" were bucolic and naturalistic, while his costume drawings were filled with bright color inspired by fauvism, the avant-garde European art movement.
The celebrated dancer and choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky refused to even begin conceiving the ballet's dances until he saw the backdrops and costumes.
"Roerich was inspired by Matisse and Gauguin," said Kenneth Archer, an art historian who helped research the original 1913 production for the Joffrey Ballet's 1987 reconstruction. "He chose these reds and greens and blues that don't look like the traditional (ballet) colors. They were much more like the fauvists, the Post-Impressionists."
Roerich's designs incorporated shamanic symbols and patterns, which would have a profound influence on Nijinsky's choreography.
Twenty-four years later, Los Angeles choreographer Lester Horton picked up on the ritualism and designs and adopted "The Rite of Spring" with Native American dancers in a Wild West setting. The ballet made its American debut in 1937 at the Hollywood Bowl, and launched Chosen One Bella Lewitzky into stardom. She later founded her own important dance company.
With its dissonant notes, unusual rhythms and tribal dance moves, "The Rite of Spring" has been heralded as the birth of modernism. It paralleled the work by another Russian expatriate – Wassily Kandinsky.
The artist, writer and professor was also interested in Russian folk art and culture. But he pushed art toward pure abstraction, eliminating figures and recognizable subjects in his work and focusing on color, shape and line.
Kandinsky was fascinated with the relationships between color, music and visual patterns. In his book "Concerning the Spiritual in Art" (1910), he praised Ballets Russes for its "total art" combination of theater, music, art and dance.
Kandinsky's oil on canvas "Composition VIII" (1923) has been set to "Rite of Spring" in a surprisingly fitting animation on YouTube.

Bob Kramer 9" Carbon Steel Slicer Knife by Zwilling J.A. Henckels®
- Value:
- Manufacturer: Zwilling J.A. Henckels
- Care: Hand wash; please do not clean with bleach or chlorine
- Dimensions: 9"
- Material: High-carbon steel, African blackwood and brass
- Warranty: Lifetime warranty
- Made in Japan
Read The New York Times article here.
Food writer Josh Ozersky is also a pretty big fan of the Bob Kramer Carbon Steel collection.
Since then, Zwilling J.A. Henckels has been committed to manufacturing knives of the highest quality. With a long list of firsts—including the first stainless-steel blade, first multi-purpose kitchen shears and first santoku on the American market— Zwilling J.A. Henckels continues to be a true innovator in the world of cutlery.
In 2011, Zwilling J.A. Henckels formed a partnership with Master Bladesmith Bob Kramer and Sur La Table. The King of the Kitchen Knife, Kramer has been pursuing perfection and forging some of the most sought-after cutlery for almost 20 years. Now home chefs can enjoy the amazing performance of a Kramer custom original at just a fraction of the cost.
Mr. Kramer takes his craft very seriously. Read about how he came up with his own signature knife pin:
"Many moons ago when I decided to put a mosaic pin on my knives I wanted something symbolic and powerful. The two basic elements of the pin are the concepts of 'three' and circles. The number three is regarded as a magic number in many cultures and, strangely enough, it also plays a big role in my heat treatment. Three shows up as the nuclear family (mother, father, baby), the tripod (the simplest stable platform), and for me the body, mind and spirit connection.
The circle is also a powerful symbol representing the sun, the birth-life-death cycle, the moon, and of course the wheel. In the early 1900s, Nicholas Roerich, an artist and humanitarian, decided to use this symbol as a flag for peace and culture.
I like the idea that the knives I make are used daily to make food for people, nourishment for friends and family, to establish connection. I like to think that the energy I put into the knife, and the symbol in the pin, will inspire the user in some way —and that feeling transfers to the food. Food with love, you know it tastes better."

Jackson beats Snohomish 6-2 in 10 innings
Timberwolves score four runs in the 10th to break open district playoff game
With the score tied at two, the Timberwolves pounced as soon as Snohomish starter Russell Crippen was relieved, scoring four runs in the top of the 10th inning to defeat the Panthers 6-2 in the first round of the 4A District tournament Saturday afternoon at Snohomish High School.
Also on the mound in the pitcher's duel was Jackson's ace, Alec Kisena, who threw 117 pitches in the complete game.
"You know the two No. 1's are going to stud up and get it done," said Jackson head coach Kirk Nicholson. "They both did today. ... They're monsters. Both of them. You talk about guys doing it straight from the heart."
Crippen and Kisena battled back and forth for nine innings, before Crippen was pulled in the top of the 10th after the leadoff batter reached base on an error and the next Jackson hitter grounded out to second base.
Snohomish closer Ben Dmochowsky, who is 3-0 this season with two saves, came in and the Timberwolves pounced immediately. The next three Jackson batters walked, with sophomore Aaron Avalos walking in the go-ahead run.
"You don't know how nervous I was. I was sick to my stomach," Avalos said. "(To have the count be) 0-2, and just to come back and battle, was great."
After a strikeout, Timberwolves catcher Alex Kiel hit a two-run single and Kurt Miller was hit by a pitch later in the inning with the bases loaded to complete the four-run rally for Jackson.
"This is the best day of the year to coach high school baseball, to cover it, to play it," Nicholson said. "That was fun. That was great."
In the top of the 10th, Kisena and Nicholson had a very brief discussion about who would be pitching in the bottom half of the inning.
"I was on the coach (to stay in the game)," Kisena said. "He came up to me, I think, in the top of the 10th and he asked me if I was doing good. I was like, 'I'm not coming out of this game. I've been in here this long. I might as well finish what I started.'"
Kisena then threw a 1-2-3 inning -- including his 10th and 11th strikeouts of the game -- to close out the win.
Snohomish coach Kim Hammons said with both teams' star pitchers on the mound, the Panthers and Timberwolves were both playing small ball, just hoping for runs.
"Just an absolutely great game. Just a great pitching battle there between Kisena and Crippen," Hammons said. "They both go into the 10th inning, you can't ask for anything more than that."
Hammons said that looking back he maybe should have pulled Crippen a little sooner, but he thought his senior pitcher gave his team the best chance to come out on top.
"He had over 100 pitches," Hammons said. "I probably left him in too long. He wanted to stay longer. He's a bulldog. He wanted to get out there and compete and win the ballgame. But he pitched great."
Crippen only allowed two earned runs in 9 1/3 innings, with none coming after the fourth. The first came on an RBI single by Alex Cheesman in the top of the second, and the second came on a balk in the fourth.
Hammons said the balk was "the difference in the game."
The Panthers battled back with a pair of RBI doubles -- which accounted for half of Snohomish's four hits. Snohomish shortstop Haakon Lande hit the first RBI double in the bottom half of the fourth, and Tanner Arrington hit the other to tie the game at two in the bottom of the sixth.
Then both teams went scoreless until the 10th.
"We had some clutch hits," Hammons said. "Everybody was trying to put people into scoring opportunities. People were playing small ball. Arrington knocking in the second run to tie it up was big. ... And then the wheels came off."
Avalos finished the day 3-for-4 with an RBI, run scored and a walk for the Timberwolves (12-7 overall), which will face Monroe on Monday in a winner-to-state semifinal game. Jackson No. 3 3 hitter Jeremy Spring went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored,
Snohomish (15-6) hosts Cascade Monday in a loser-out game. It will be the first time the Panthers and Bruins will face each other this season.
"They're a quality ball club. They always are," Hammons said. "They have good players, good pitching. I just expect a real good battle on Monday. The kids, I think they're going to forget (Saturday's game). They're just going to come out Monday and compete."

FAYETTEVILLE - This was not the same Northside team that marched through the playoffs with confidence and built a 21-point third-quarter lead Thursday in the NCHSAA 2-A East Regional semifinals.
Rather, the Monarchs looked like a completely different team in the fourth quarter, and then looked simply stunned after Fairmont's Kwinton Hinson made a 3-pointer as time expired to give his Golden Tornadoes a 65-62 win over Northside at Crown Arena.
Hinson's game-winning shot capped a 19-0 Fairmont game-closing run and set off a wild celebration on the other end of the floor.
"Everybody is pretty much in shock and is disoriented," Northside coach Tony Marshburn said.
Hinson's shot came from the right wing after Fairmont first took the ball inside after the Golden Tornadoes were awarded possession of the ball with eight seconds left following a Northside turnover.
"During the timeout, coach told me and (teammate Jerrod Neal) to get on the same side and set a pick and roll," Hinson said. "In practice yesterday, I was told to see if the defense would pick up on me on the 3-point shot."
The Golden Tornadoes (25-5) will play defending state champion Kinston (26-2) on Saturday at 4 p.m. in the regional final with the winner advancing to the state final. Kinston beat Bunn 63-44 earlier Thursday night.
Northside, which finishes 25-4, was hoping to advance to the regional final for the first time in program history. With a 57-36 lead with 58 seconds left in the third quarter, it appeared as if the Monarchs were on their way.
"Our kids played their hearts out, and I am proud of them," Marshburn said. "This is a tough way to end the season, just a tough way to lose."
Senior Jamal Parker led the Monarchs with 23 points on 9-of-15 shooting while junior Josh Cabrera added 15 points and 8 rebounds. Sophomore Kris Curry added 10 points and 9 rebounds for Northside.
Cabrera made two free throws with 58 seconds left in the third quarter to give the Monarchs a 21-point lead. However, the Golden Tornadoes scored the final five points of the period to get to within 57-41.
Still, Northside looked to be in position to win when Benjamin McCarthy scored on a jump shot with seven minutes left to give the Monarchs a 62-46 cushion.
That's when Fairmont got hot and ended up scoring the game's final 19 points.
Neal started the run by scoring on the inside before Shyheim Hines followed with a bucket and Shemar Barfield made a 3-pointer to cut the Golden Tornadoes' deficit to 62-53 with 5:13 left.
Barfield then made another 3-pointer before Neal scored on a layup with 3:25 left to make it 62-58. Barfield followed with a layup before Luke Hunt scored on a putback with 1:45 left to tie the game at 62-62.
"We just decided to start taking the ball to the basket," Fairmont coach Michael Baker said. "We were 1-of-something from 3-point range in the first half. So we had to take the ball to the basket. That's what they (Monarchs) were doing to us and they were kicking it out to all their shooters."
Despite the Golden Tornadoes' big run, Northside still controlled its destiny late.
Holding for a final shot, the Monarchs took the clock down to eight seconds. Parker had done a good job of preventing a five-second call while being guarded by Jackie Oxendine, often taking a glance at the official to see if he was counting.
Parker was eventually called for a five-second call with eight seconds left.
"We put our best defender on Parker," Baker said. "We knew Jack was quick enough to stay close to him. We were fortunate it was called."
And unfortunately for Northside, the five-second rule was called.
"I'll take the blame for the last possession," Marshburn said. "I should have called timeout. It all falls on my shoulders."
The Monarchs didn't do themselves any favors in the final eight minutes. They were just 2 of 9 from the field in the fourth quarter and committed five turnovers. Conversely, Fairmont was 10 of 16 from the floor in the fourth quarter.
"We didn't play well. We didn't run out of gas," Marshburn said. "We didn't shoot well and we didn't take some good shots. I don't know if we hit any free throws in the fourth quarter."
Northside took its 57-36 lead on a 10-1 run that answered a 10-2 Fairmont spurt.
"We were just pushing it and not allowing them to get back on defense," Cabrera said. "We were playing our game."
The Monarchs seemed to be in control after an 18-0 run in the second quarter put them ahead 34-15.
"I thought at the time our defense was pretty good," Marshburn said. "We hit shots and free throws and did a good job on defense that allowed us to get into transition. Then all of the sudden they knocked down threes and we are not able to get in transition."

Hello all,
I am new to the forum, despite being a follower of SH's work. I am recently married, and my wife and I have been talking about our parenting philosophies more than ever, in the event that we have a child in the near future.
Since I can remember, I was literally the only non-believer in my community—or circle of friends and family. I rarely, if ever, talked about my views to the largely Christian people around me. I was always a firm believer in equality, or humanity, with the idea that I wanted my child to decide for himself what he wants to believe. Once I started to vocalize my feelings on the subject, I would frequently make the claim that children should be exposed to all religions and be able to make the decision to believe on their own.
However, in my most recent years, I am beginning to take a different route with my opinions. I am, more and more, in belief that I should be pushing my child in the direction of non-belief; and the idea that religious convictions can do nothing but harm to them (ironically, the same way my friends' parents reacted when they would hear my beliefs).
Given that I have always expressed my concern for religious indoctrination—especially with children and vulnerable adults—what gives me the right to drive my child in the opposite direction, with the same conviction? I, like most religious people, believe my way is the right way. I would be unintentionally "bad-mouthing" those people, the same way they shame me in front of their children. I truly believe that the only way to a free mind, and the progression of this world, is to abandon blind faiths. So, in reality, wouldn't I be justifying the false accusation that atheists are dogmatic by preaching non-belief to my children?
What approaches do you take with your children (or would you take, if you had any), in order to provide the (what I believe to be) best and most probable direction toward self-fulfillment?

Where does the wind go when it stops?
When a little boy asks this question at the end of a happy day, his mother explains that the wind does not stop-it blows away to make the trees dance somewhere else.
Reassuringly, she tells him that nothing ever ends, it simply begins in another place or in another way. Rain goes back into the clouds to create new storms, waves fold back upon the sea to become new waves, and the day moves on to make way for the night, bringing the darkness and stars for the little boy to dream in.
Charlotte Zolotow's lyrical prose and Stefano Vitale's rich illustrations make this a beautiful celebration of the cycle of life.

And she nearly pulled off a double gold performance.
Wallace-O'Neal claimed the state discus title for the second straight year, winning with a personal best of 128 feet, 3 inches while finishing second in the shot put at 37-1 to help the Cardinal girls claim fourth place as a team.
"It feels pretty good," Wallace-O'Neal said. "I hoped for a double gold, but I'm very satisfied with how it came out today."
Wallace-O'Neal won the discus by more than 14 feet over second place J'Kyra Brown of Rocky Mount, who threw 114-1. Wallace-O'Neal won the discus last year with a throw of 117-4 and the 3-A regional title last weekend with a 123-8 throw.
But as she went for her last throw of her high school career Saturday, she had something else in mind.
"At that moment in time I had already secured the lead, but I had other goals," she said. "I wanted to break the school record, so all or nothing. This was the last time I would be able throw here, so why not?"
As it turned out, she missed the school record by "like 4 feet," she said.
No matter, she had the gold and now it was on to the shot put, where she'd thrown a personal best of 40 feet to win the regional — a distance that would have won the state title as well. But she ended up with a 37-1 toss while
"Not as good as it could," she said. "But I'm still happy with my performance."
Wallace-O'Neal said she felt good coming into the day.
"But," she added, "I still had my doubts. … I was pretty nervous coming in. Just because you come in as the top seed doesn't mean you're securing a gold. You still have to work after it."
While there were no other first-place finishes by area athletes, Jacksonville's Tatyana Glasgow was second in the 400 meters in 56.57 seconds while also finishing fourth in the 100 (12.35) and seventh in the 200 (25.79).

Debrecen is the second Hungarian city to have hosted the final of a European basketball club competition. In 1986, Budapest organized the final of the FIBA European Champions Cup. This year, it was Debrecen's turn, as the EuroChallenge Final Four took place in Fönix Hall. Szolnoki Olaj KK, Elan Chalon, Besiktas Milangaz and Triumph Lyubertsy battled for the title, with Besiktas being crowned champions.
Debrecen's men's basketball team plays in the Hungarian first league, while the women's team competes in the second division. The basketball teams of the University of Debrecen take part in the second divisions. Around 1,500 people play basketball on several levels and age groups.
The city is also home to a professional handball and waterpolo team.
The most famous and renowned club is the football club, Debreceni VSC. The club has been dominant in Hungary in recent years, winning the national championship in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2012. The Stadium, which seats more than 10,000 fans, is located in Oláh Gábor Street, in the City Park (Nagyerdő). There are currently plans for a new large stadium to be built in the city, which will serve as Debreceni VSC's home ground.
Apart from the EuroChallenge Final Four, Debrecen has hosted several international sporting events in recent years, such as the second World Youth Championships in Athletics in July 2001 and the first IAAF World Road Running Championships in October 2006. The World Artistic Gymnastics Championships 2002, the 2007 European Swimming Championships and the 19th FAI World Hot Air Balloon Championship (October 2010) also took place in Debrecen. In 2012, the city played host to the the 31st European Swimming Championship.
By Car The region of Hajdúság and its centre Debrecen can be reached on public roads no. 4, 33, 35, 47, 48, 471 or on highway M3 and through its direct connection on M35. Coming from Budapest, visitors can get to Debrecen in two or two and a half hours by car.

I attended NGS a few weeks ago, and I can't say enough about the need for genealogists to take as much training and expose themselves to as many different opportunities to learn as possible. They are all around us. Classes, genealogy groups, online chat rooms and discussion forums, professional genealogy journals and mass media genealogy magazines, blogs…there is just no excuse not to soak it all in. After 12 years, I'm still learning how to be better at this and don't expect that to change.
Tonight I attended my friend Alice's last genealogy class of the semester. She and I both teach non-credit genealogy classes at Howard Community Classes, and we always try to support one another. Alice is a great teacher.
Tonight was a real treat because Angela Walton-Raji gave a lecture about Black-Native American Research. Angela is an expert in Black-Native American research and has been for some time. I bought her book, Black Indian Genealogy Research when it first came out years ago, and I didn't realize there was an updated version out. So I've got to buy that. This book needs to be in every African-American genealogist's library. She also has another website she has maintained for years, African-Native Genealogy and History.
Angela's talk, of course, was informative and reinforced many thoughts I've had about my own family. I came away energized and enthused. Angela started an African Podcast awhile ago, and if you haven't tuned in yet, you should make it a weekly habit.
Just another example of all the good stuff out there if you just poke your head out there and jump in.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose bone marrow disorders characterized by overproduction of one or more types of blood cells known as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs)
When to Get Tested?
When your doctor suspects that you may have a bone marrow disorder, including polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, or primary myelofibrosis
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm; sometimes a sample of bone marrow
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
The Janus Kinase 2 or JAK2 gene provides instructions for making the JAK2 protein, which promotes cell growth and division, and is especially important for controlling blood cell production from stem cells located within the bone marrow. This test looks for mutations in JAK2 that are associated with bone marrow disorders caused by an overproduction of blood cells.
The bone marrow disorders caused by JAK2 mutations are known as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), where the bone marrow overproduces white blood cells, red blood cells, and/or platelets. Some of the MPNs most commonly associated with JAK2 are: polycythemia vera (PV), where bone marrow makes too many red blood cells; essential thrombocythemia (ET), where there are too many platelet-producing cells (megakaryocytes) in the bone marrow; and primary myelofibrosis (PMF), also known as chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis or agnogenic myeloid metaplasia, where there are too many platelet-producing cells and cells that produce scar tissue in the bone marrow.
The primary JAK2 test is JAK2 V617F, named for a mutation at a specific location in the JAK2 gene. JAK2 V617F mutation is acquired as opposed to inherited and results in the change of a single DNA nucleotide base pair. In JAK2, this kind of mutation, called a point mutation, leads to a change in the protein building block that the gene codes for, replacing the normal amino acid valine (V) with phenylalanine (F). This amino acid change results in a JAK2 protein that is constantly "on," leading to uncontrolled blood cell production.
As many as 95% of people with PV and 50-75% of people with ET or PMF are positive for the JAK2 V617F mutation. Additionally, the mutation is also infrequently detected in people with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
Mutations in other coding portions (called exons; they code for proteins) of the JAK2 gene are also associated with MPNs. There are tests to detect changes in JAK2 exon 12. Two to five percent of people with PV have an exon 12 mutation.
The presence of a JAK2 mutation helps a health care provider make a definitive diagnosis of MPN (PV, ET or PMF), but the absence of a JAK2 mutation does not rule out MPN. In 2008, the World Health Organization (WHO) revised its diagnostic criteria for PV and ET, adding the presence of JAK2 mutation as a criterion. However, consensus has not yet been achieved for the optimal diagnostic criteria for PV.
The finding of a JAK2 mutation associated with uncontrolled blood cell growth in MPNs also suggests a possible therapeutic approach to some MPNs. As an example, one JAK2 inhibitor has been approved for the treatment of intermediate and high risk myelofibrosis.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm. Bone marrow can also be used to detect the mutation.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

A handful of walks run from all round the Mürtschen and Fronalp massif to Walsaweg (from Mollis to Sargans), and then continue right into the mysterious Mürtschen and Murg valley. The ground rope garden and fun with kick scooters also enjoy widespread popularity. The Schabzig High Altitude Trail leads through pristine, unique natural landscapes with an incomparable view of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Sardona Tectonic Arena as well as the Glarus region.
A 7km sledding track that runs from a height of 1,280 metres above sea level down to the valley station in Filzbach is maintained in the lower section of the skiing region. At the foot of the Fronalp massif, the small Schilt/Mulleren skiing area offers its pistes for all to enjoy. Both areas also lend themselves to an abundance of snowshoe and winter walks.
