The new Miss America is Nina Davuluri, a 24-year-old from the state of New York who wants to be a doctor.
She called her crowning Sunday night at the Atlantic City pageant, in which she performed a traditional Bollywood-style dance, a victory for diversity in America.
"It was the first time Bollywood has been performed on the Miss America stage. It's an honor for myself and my community," Davuluri told ABC television Monday morning.
"Halfway through, I just started crying because you know, it was such an incredible experience being on that Miss America stage," she said. "It was so meaningful and powerful."
Davuluri was beaming despite a spurt of racist tweets about her.
"I have to rise above that," she said at a news conference Sunday night after being crowned. "I always viewed myself as first and foremost American."
While many American saluted Davuluri's victory, some online commenters described the beauty queen, who is believed to be a practicing Hindu, as an Arab who looks like a terrorist.
One user said "It's called Miss America. Get outta here New York you look like a terrorist. #bye #americanforamerica."
A person who apparently tweeted from Kansas wrote, "Are you serious??!!! The Arab wins??!!! This is miss AMERICA!!! Not miss Arabia!!! Miss Kansas is in the army and is a country girl!!! C'mon."
Others, like the Jezebel feminist blog, denounced the comments, saying "racists are being racist because Miss America isn't white."
"This world is so ignorant. #MissAmerica Indian or not had every right to gain the title of MissAmerica. This is why I want to leave America!" chimed in @CJlovebug.
Davuluri competed on the platform issue of "celebrating diversity through cultural competency."
"I'm so happy this organization has embraced diversity," she said at the news conference. "I'm thankful there are children watching at home who can finally relate to a new Miss America."
During her 2014 year of service as Miss America, she will travel extensively to speak to audiences about her chosen issue.
The University of Michigan honor student will also serve as the official national goodwill ambassador for the children's charity group Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
Along with her much-prized title, Davuluri won a $50,000 scholarship to pursue her education.
Nina, we are proud of you! Haters gonna hate!

Apple's latest release of the Mac OS - codenamed El Capitan - was released this week to favorable reviews. More recently, however, there have been many reports that the new Mac OS and the latest version of Microsoft Office for Mac are not working and playing well together.
The release of Apple iOS9 for the iPhone and iPad has generated huge amounts of network traffic as users of these devices rush to download the OS update from Apple. As with most new software releases, however, this one is not without some problems. In the case of iOS9, those installing the upgrade are going to find that it breaks the mobile Apple operating system's ability to easily connect to the NWU-wireless network.
Unite Private Networks (UPN) has just informed us of scheduled maintenance operations on their network which might possibly impact NWU's connection to our Internet Service Provider (ISP).
UPN will be upgrading or replacing equipment on their fiber network between 12:01am and 4:00am on July 14 and again between the same hours on July 15. They report that the required maintenance might product 3-4 service interruptions of between 10-15 minutes duration for each day.

ReviewsHalfords (HBU448UB) Ultra Brilliance Car Bulb 8 8Great bulbs, shame about their lifespan I bought 2 Ultra Brilliance bulbs and had them fitted by Halfords in February after one of my bulbs on my car went and decided to get a matching pair for better visibility at night. After 6 months I have had to replace one bulb and had to replace the other a week later which is a shame as the bulbs were great while they lasted. 06 September 2012ultra brilliance car bulb fittied these in stead of a pair of spot lights and now i can see where im going as they are much brighter 05 March 2012Nice Light! They do what they say on the tin! I have to say I was a bit sceptical about the claims but night time driving is a much better experience with these bulbs fitted. A lot more light on the road and signage and white lines are easier to see. 13 January 2012Perfect This bulb does exaclty what it says on the box. The light emmited is brighter and whiter which all in all result in a much more comfortable night driving expierence. I have fitted these to 3 different cars and they are all lasting well, no blown bulbs yet over 2 years on! One thing i will say is don't bother buying these if they are not on offer. When they are Buy one Get 1 Free they are a fantastic deal but even i wouldn't pay full price for 2. 13 January 2012Quality A superb product.You have to try it to believe it.Buy these super brilliance bulbs without hesitation. 30 December 2011unhappy with bulbs purchased there bulbs, will be taking them back as not as good as i expected. my orignal bulbs were brighter than these. 09 December 2011These bulbs are "brilliant" ! Having worked in the motor trade all my life I tend to shy away from products that are described as "fantastic, unbeleivable," etc., but this product is one of the best buys in years. They are so good, in these days of the dazzling lights of oncoming traffic with HID lamps, and poorly aligned headlights. They make driving so much safer, and pick up objects and people, much better than standard bulbs. 27 November 2011Nice and Bright These bulbs produce an excellent beam spread and are considerably brighter than standard bulbs, the light produced is a bright creamy off white colour. Ideal in raural / poorly lit areas and great for running during daylight hours too, If you're looking to improve your forward vision whilst driving at night I'd reccomend that you consider buying some of these bulbs I'd like to see a blue / white version become available 15 November 20111-8 of 8

Luigi is the younger but taller brother of Mario. In Paper Mario you can read his diary where he mentions that he is terrified of boo's and that he wants to go on his own adventure. In the sequle Paper Mario and the thousand year door his wish to have his own adventure comes true. Luigi recived a letter that says Princess Eclair of the Waffle Kingdom was Kidnapped by the evil chestnut king and that they needed his help. He has to find the seven pieces of the Marvuilse compas to find Princess Eclair. In the game you can even buy a series of books based on his adventure. When Mario talks to Luigi he tells him about how he likes Princess Eclair so Daisy is going to have to find another man.
"I hope they come out with a Paper Luigi."
"Yeah that would be fun."

The brother Mario. People seem to think he's underrated, although he has a lot of fans.
Luigi really isn't that underrated.

The green wonder who is better than mario, and the only reason he hasn't overshadowed mario is because nintendo won't give him many chances. Luigi's mansion is one of only two in which luigi is the star. In the later games, he has higher jumping yet less traction than mario.
The man in green, LUIGI! No pipe is too out of reach, No foe is too high to clobber!

Luigi is the kind of guy who would message you in the middle of the night just to tell you a crazy story that happened to him on that day or just to say that he misses you. He knows the right words to say when you're feeling down and he knows when to shut up when you don't feel like talking. He's the kind of guy who would call you when he's drunk and tell you how an amazing friend you are and how he's lucky to have you. He doesn't care if you eat like a pig or if your hair is all messed up. He doesn't mind if you can't sing. Because he loves you for who you are and not for who you're not. He would stay up late for you when he knows something's wrong and will only sleep if he knows you're okay. He would sit down and play the piano if he doesn't feel like talking or just laugh at everything that's getting out of hand. He's one of a kind and if you have a Luigi in your life, you are truly lucky.

Michael Collins shows close control as Oxford United beat Oxford City 1-0 in last night's pre-season friendly
David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458 / / Sport
OXFORD United's ambition and the prospect of more transfer activity was enough to convince Michael Collins to walk out on a trial with a League One club and sign up.
The 28-year-old yesterday became Michael Appleton's first addition as he agreed a one-year deal, with the club retaining the option for an additional 12 months.
Collins was available as a free agent after being released by Scunthorpe United, where he made 17 appearances in Sky Bet League Two as they won automatic promotion last season.
It was the first time the midfielder had played in the fourth tier during his ten-year career.
He is keen to move up the pyramid and was training with Bradford City before United's approach changed his mind.
"I was training with Bradford with a view to something happening, but once I'd spoke to Oxford and had a concrete offer it swayed it for me," he said.
"I just felt there's something quite special that might just happen here and I was happy to be a part of it."
Key to his decision was United's plan to reinforce the squad before the start of the season.
He said: "I think you'll start to see over the coming weeks that this is the first of four or five signings.
Promoted stories
"The club's got ambitions certainly to get promoted this season and that's my ambition as well, I want to be back playing in League One.
"I wanted to wait for a club that if they weren't in League One then they had aspirations to get there.
"This ticks every box, so I'm really pleased."
The trial at Bradford means Collins is up to speed physically and allowed him to play 62 minutes in the pre-season friendly win at Oxford City last night.
The former Huddersfield Town trainee provides some much-needed experience to a youthful U's squad and as a former club captain at Scunthorpe, he also adds leadership.
Collins's stay at Glanford Park was disrupted by two injuries, restricting him to 89 appearances in four years, but he is confident of playing a full role this season.
He said: "Prior to signing for Scunthorpe I was injury-free.
"I went there and picked up an Achilles injury which kept me out for 14 months and then I came back and played a solid seven months.
"I was made captain and picked up a knee injury in a tackle, which is a hazard of the job.
"The main thing is I feel good now and feel ready to go for the season."

nice size, comfortable I love itRead More
Very stylish and modern looking. Love the colors. The only problem I had was with the ottoman. For weeks after purchasing the sofa, I was finding little beads everywhere in my living room. I then realized there was a hole in the bottom of the ottoman and the beads were coming from there. Overstock was very easy to work with. Overall it was worth it, I couldn't find anything like this at the furniture stores near me.Read More
Sofa is not quality
Bought this sofa in December on a promo that was *** off. Stitches started to come off in two different places before 6 months. Really bad quality by the manufacture or they just sold me a crappy one. Never bought a sofa online before but maybe my last. I even bought the extended warranty but it didn't do any good. I don't suggest anyone buying the warranty, just a rip off.Read More
Love it!
Is very Confortable to the point that we bought two of this. The only reason why I retuned the second one is because it was not going to fit ni our second living room otherwise I would have end up with two of this confortable Abbyson couchesRead More
Furiture on line? Only Overstock can do this .. Simply amazing. 3 years and it's still like NEW.Read More
Super Comfy!
We ordered this well-priced sectional for our new house. The color looks exactly like the picture, and the quality is excellent. Delivery was fast and professional; they assembled the sectional in our rec room which really was just a couple of bolts, then done. The couch was comfy from the beginning, but as we've continued to break it in, it's even more so. Sometimes we pull the ottoman up into the corner and make a perfect spot for my husband and I to snuggle and watch movies. It's awesome! Now that we've had this couch for a few months, we've definitely spilled food/beverage on it a couple times and it's so very easy to clean, it's wonderful. The fabric is exceptionally durable and seems to resist stains VERY well. I would recommend this sectional to anybody, definitely. It will be in our home for a very, very long time :-)Read More
Love at first sight (and sit)...:)
Like many of you, I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing such a large piece of furniture online without testing it and seeing it in person. Soooooo glad I did it! This piece is very nice, well made, extremely comfy (I'm tall), and the price was right! The white glove delivery service was fantastic! The two guys arrived timely, set up quickly, checked the product out, cleaned up, and left timely. Very impressed!Read More
Exceeds all expectations!
This couch exceeds all our expectations. Despite being a casual couch in styling, there is an elegance to it that just "dresses up" the family room. The dark chocolate base blends perfectly with the dark wood accent tables we purchased from Overstock a couple of years ago. The sofa is ample size for two large adults to spread out on and is very comfortable as well--not too soft and not too firm. The microsuede material keeps you warm and cozy and it gives a nice textured appearance and feel. This couch is an outstanding buy! The delivery team was also great--very careful and quick. We ordered the couch one weekend and had it delivered before the end of the week! Thanks, Overstock!Read More
As I'm sure some others are too... I was very nervous about purchasing such a large and expensive item never having laid eyes, hands or rear-end on it. And being a first time Overstock customer only added to the suspense. All I had to go on was the 17 reviews at the time and all were 5 stars.This is an outstanding sectional for an awesome price! Everyone says it is so comfortable and looks way more expensive. I'm so glad I didn't buy a cheaply made, overpriced retail-store comparison. The delivery/assembly service was nice and they took all of the boxes/trash with them. Assembles very easily. Keep in mind that the chaise lounger is NOT reversible. The faux leather is very espresso/dark brown. The microsuede is very soft and feels of good quality. The cushion backs and seats are stitched to the couch and to each other, not removable. The only place to lose change is at the back of the seats.The tufting on the seats and ottoman add lots of style. I spend most of my time on the chaise lounger but any seat is comfortable. You don't 'sink' down in the cushions. The 3 seat couch is a bit more firm than the chaise lounger but still very comfortable. My girlfriend likes to butt the ottoman up to the lounger during movies, it's like a full/queen size bed! Or use it as another lounger on the other end of the couch. If you're interested in this sectional, go for it!Read More
This is the one!
I couldn't be more happier with this purchase. It is exactly what I was hoping for. The Ottoman was damaged when the delivery guys brought it, but they took it away asap and my new one is being delivered soon. Its such a beautiful and comfortable sofa that I would def say this is the one if you are considering it, like I was. I read all the reviews, but seeing it in person, sold me!Read More

How do I get replAcement leg for this sofa?
Hello sandwomen, we recommend contacting customer service at 1-800-843-2446 - Thank you for shopping with us!
Do the cushions on this sectional come off for easier cleaning? And will this withstand two dogs?
Hello Angela D., the seat and back cushions are not removable. Have a great day!
Why did you choose this product?
I liked the look
The way it looks, material and reviews.
I wanted a true chaise sectional not a sectional with a large ottoman.
How many pieces does the sectional ship in? Will the base and the back are attached? I have a tight L shaped stairs to my basement where I want to place this sofa in so I need the dimensions of the unassembled pieces.
Hello kiranb, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, the information you have requested is currently unavailable. We will continue to try and answer this for you. You will receive an email notification once an answer is posted. Have a great day.
Hello, what are the dimensions of these cushions; and can I order just the cushions?
Hello irishmack27, This sectional is beautiful! Unfortunately, we don't currently have the cushion dimensions available and the cushions can't be ordered separately. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for shopping with us.
The cushions are attached and do not move. From back to front a seat cushion is about 23 inches. A back cushion is about 18 inches high.
Is it possible to fit though a 30 inch wide door way out of the box?
Thank you for your question, jgpiper. This item needs at least 32" doorway to get through it. I hope this helps, and thanks for shopping with us.
Hi, our hall stair way entrance is 78" high and 28" wide. It is an old home and the bottom of the stairwell is 25" wide. Would this furniture fit through this door way? Thanks
Hello jodilr, The sectional will not fit. It requires at least a 32 inch width of door/hallway space. Thank you for checking.
How do you remove spots from the sofa?
with carpet cleaner.
Hello diagrams, most of the information I have found on how to clean microfiber/ microsuede suggests to spot clean using a mild soap and water solution, and followed by drying with a hair dryer to avoid water marks. Thank you for shopping with us, and have a great day!
My doorway is 32" wide and 80" high - would this fit?
Hello carole55555, Yes this will fit. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
With it being a sectional are all the pieces separate or are they connected to hold it all in place?
The left chaise end is connected to the couch by two sturdy metal pieces. They literally hook together, so they will not come apart unless the chaise is lifted up and away from the couch portion.
there is a metal bar that goes down the one part that fits into a metal slot on the other part,hold very well.
I have read this piece needs to be cleaned by a none water base product what is recommend? Can this fabric be sprayed with scotch guard to help keep it clean?
Hi diagrams, we have a link at the bottom of the page that details the cleaning instructions. Just in case here is the link : http://www.overstock.com/guides/how-to-clean-a-leather-sofa Hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
Where is this product made?
Thanks for your interest, this Abbyson Living Charlotte Beige Sectional Sofa and Ottoman is made in China.
Does this sofa turn into a bed?
It does not, but it has served as a bed to more than one of our overnight quests. It is very comfortable and roomy, and it easily accommodates an average size person. However, it does not fold out into an official "sleeper sofa."
Do you have to apply a leather protector on the leather part in order for it to stay soft. I know it is feaux leather, but I know blended leather requires a conditioner, otherwise it peals.
We refer you to the link below for general information on taking care of a faux leather. Read more: How to Clean Bicast Leather | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/how_5815013_clean-bicast-leather.html#ixzz2Jgw5fSEw
My front door measures 81 by 36. Will this furniture fit through the front door?
Thank you for your interest. It probably would---you would have to maneuver it at an angle just as you would any large piece of furniture. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
yes, we fit this through a 34 inch doorway in our home. the legs were not attached, as it was just delivered, and the delivery guys carried each piece through without any difficulty.
Do you have a Left Arm Facing Sofa and Right Arm Facing Chaise?
Unfortunately this product only comes as show in the picture.
Are the cushions attached to the sectional? I prefer cushions to be attached
The cushions are sewn on to the sectional.
How long is the chaise part of the sectional?
The chaise is 83 inches long.

Apple rumored to be evaluating 3 new iPhone prototypes, one with slideout keyboardA Taiwanese website that has been the source of numerous Apple hardware leaks now claims that Apple has built three hardware prototypes for its next-generation iPhone, including one model with a slide-out physical keyboard.
The new details come from tw.apple.pro, but are the result of a rough online translation. The site's source claimed that Apple has built three prototype models for its anticipated "iPhone 5," and one of them has a "sliding cover" that conceals a keyboard.
Another prototype reportedly built by Apple looks largely like the iPhone 4, but has improved hardware including longer battery life and superior camera. That version of the handset would not be a major physical change from the previous-generation iPhone 4, and would be akin to the iPhone 3GS replacing the iPhone 3G, the report said.
Finally, the site also reiterated rumors that the next-generation iPad will include a built-in camera, and will also be thinner than the first-generation model.
In years past, Apple.pro has got its hands on numerous hardware leaks from Apple's overseas suppliers. Last year it got its hands on a white panel for an iPhone 4 before the handset was announced, and it also obtained an iPhone 4 battery in June.
In 2008, it offered a first look at Apple's redesigned MacBook.
Last July, the same site also showed off a mysterious small touchscreen which it speculated could be used in an "iPod touch nano." In September, Apple unveiled its new iPod nano with a small multi-touch display.
In addition, in 2008, the blog posted photos of the new unibody enclosure of Apple's redesigned MacBook Pro before it was released.
But also in 2008, the site posted photos of an alleged 13-inch MacBook casing which proved to be false. And in 2009, the blog claimed that Apple was working on a 15-inch MacBook Air, another product that never came to market.
