CLEVELAND, Ohio-Cleveland Urban News. Com and the Kathy Wray Coleman Online News Blog. Com salute 16-year-old Olympic gold medalist Gabrielle Douglas, who is Black, and who won the gold metal in the women's individual gymnastics all around category on Thursday during the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London.

Douglas, of Virginia Beach, VA, topped silver medalist Viktoria Komova of Russia to take the metal, and she became the first African-American and the third consecutive American to win a gold metal in the individual all around competition.

She also led the U.S.A. women's team to a gold metal in the team all around competition.

In connection with her fame, a discussion in the Black community on her style, the-good-hair-bad-hair-thing took center stage too, and whether Douglas should have worn her hair down during the celebrated competition, rather than pulled-up and not permed to the hilt.

The teen Olympic sensation, who began gymnastics training at six years old, told the Huffington Post last week that her hair is just fine.

Douglas won the silver metal for the balance beam in the 2010 U.S. Junior National Championships and her part of the team gold metal at the 2010 Pan American Championships in Guadalajara, Mexico.

She won the gold metal also at the 2011 World Artistic Gymnastic Championship in Tokyo, Japan.

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show...
