Until this moment, though, when Jones secured her spot on a second consecutive Olympic team Saturday night at the U.S. Olympic Trials, the smile had been packed away in a suitcase of fear and doubt.

Karen Klein
Karen Klein's Tormenters Apologize:Then, a video of the 68-year-old school bus monitor being bullied and taunted on a school bus (Warning: That video contains very graphic language) went viral and made cause an international affair.
In the video, Klein, a widower and grandmother of eight, was viciously tormented by four seventh grade boys.
Last night, her hometown of Greece, N.Y., a suburb of Rochester, held a rally for her.
A fundraising website intended to pay for her to go on vacation has raised over $500,000 from people around the world -- money Klein appreciates but says she doesn't need.
Nba Finals 2012
The Heat were able to win their fourth game in a row against the Thunder Thursday night, taking the series and the championship with a score of 121-106. LeBron James’ dream has finally become a reality.I’m happy now that eight years later, nine years later since I’ve been drafted, that I can finally say that I’m a champion, and I did it the right way,” James told the press after the game. “I didn’t shortcut anything. You know, I put a lot of hard work and dedication in it, and hard work pays off. It’s a great moment for myself.
Kate Upton
Not a lot is known about this new blonde bombshell, but what you do need to know is that she was named SI Swimsuit Issue's "Rookie of the Year". That and a viral video of her doing "the Dougie" at a Clippers game pushed her into mainstream popularity. But we're a little more interested in this swimsuit modeling stuff that Kate seems to do pretty damn well.
Ann Curry
Ann Curry has just completed two full hours of work on Today, a job that's clearly effortless to her and has me hyperventilating. She leaps from the cohost couch to an interview inside the studio to a segment on the outdoor plaza, then does it all over again. Now we're in a town car, on our way to a late-morning photo shoot. Our thoughts have turned, somewhat incongruously, to that most American of icons, Doris Day.
Curry, who has appeared on People's Most Beautiful List and has YouTube videos devoted to her legs, tells me that when she was growing up in Portland, Oregon, she wasn't considered pretty. "I wanted to be blonde and blue-eyed, because that's what Cinderella was, you know? Back then it was rare to see someone who was multiracial," says Curry, whose mother was Japanese. "I was called Blubber Lips." Anyway, years later Curry's husband, Brian Ross, told her that the person he had a crush on while he was growing up was Doris Day. "And I said, 'Then how did you end up with me?'" And he said, 'You're the all-American girl. You're the brunette Doris Day. You just don't know it.
