Tami Roman Exclusive: 'Basketball Wives' Star Talks Prayerful Road to Redemption
Tami Roman is the subject of several online petitions deeming her a bully and seeking to end her stint on "Basketball Wives," but the television personality insists that there is more to her than the VH1 reality television series that made her popular. Now, the famed reality television antagonist is ready to turn over a new leaf and is leaning on her Christian faith while on the road to redemption.
Roman, the 43-year-old ex-wife of retired NBA player Kenny Anderson, joined the cast of "Basketball Wives" during its second season, and during her time on the show, has engaged in her share of physical and verbal altercations. However, it seemed that fans were fed up with her behavior after season four.
When Roman's encounter with former "Basketball Wives" co-star Kesha Nichols drove the latter to tears, she was accused of bullying by thousands of people who took to change.org to create and sign petitions to have her removed from the show. While Roman eventually apologized to Nichols for her aggressive behavior, the show's fans were not so forgiving.
The entire ordeal and resulting backlash caused the tough-as-nails reality television star to fall into depression.
"I was traumatized," Roman revealed to The Christian Post. "I became an introvert and literally withdrew from everybody that loved me, the people that I worked with and I didn't know how to handle what was happening."
After the noticeable change in Roman's behavior caused a friend to check on her, the mother of two decided it was time to check in with God.
"It caused me to just say, 'ok God help me out of this situation' and I decided to make all the necessary changes," Roman told CP. "But I needed to have people really know me, know Tami and not just the imagery that they see on 'Basketball Wives.'"
It was then that she decided to take on multiple speaking engagements where she could meet people in real life, away from the drama drummed up on television screens. Prayer was the tool used to pull Roman out of the depression following season four of "Basketball Wives," and it was indeed also prayer that brought her to the show in the first place.
As a single mother of two young girls, Roman was having trouble keeping the lights on in her home and receiving public assistance. She desperately wanted to provide a better life for her children and begged God to help her out of the tough times.
"I honestly got down on my knees and just said 'God please send me what I'm supposed to be doing.' I know this is not right, I know I'm not supposed to be in this moment," Roman recalled to CP. "And literally the next day I woke up and the idea came to me that VH1 had wanted me to be involved with 'Basketball Wives' the year before. And I said maybe I should contact them now and see if they'll put me on season two."
After feeling convicted to provide a better life for the two lives depending on her, Roman's prayer was answered and she was cast as a member of "Basketball Wives" during its second season. Although she grew up in a Christian family and was even baptized three times, the defining moment in her walk with God came while enduring hardship with her daughters.
However, God has brought Roman through a number of other trials in life that she is now ready to come to terms with.
"I've been in situations when I've been in domestic violence situations, my mother and I talked about it on the show. I've been molested as a child, I've been raped before, I've been homeless, I've been in a marriage where there was infidelity," Roman revealed to CP. "I think I've run the gamut of things that are not right. So from an overall perspective, I always look back at what I think is the worst day of my life and then I say, 'you made it through that so you can make it through anything else.'"
After watching herself for over three seasons on "Basketball Wives," Roman realizes that her troubled past may have played a role in her negative behavior showcased for audiences on the show.
"I watch myself and I see myself on t.v. and I think what it has taught me is that I've been harboring a lot of feelings about my past. I have a defensive personality and I've learned through the course of this show that you can't do that," Roman told CP. "Sometimes the way you've perceived something is not the way a person intended that to be and I had to learn to articulate rather than get angry, rather than curse people out."
While Roman openly admitted that being a "profanity scholar" is her vice, she is also ready to showcase her growth on the show.
"You know people saw me lash out at people on the show for three seasons and particularly the fifth season, I didn't want to be that type of person," Roman told CP. "Even in past episodes of this season, people saw me explode and be able to bring myself right back down because I don't want to continue to be that type of person that feels I need to put up my dukes in order to express myself."
Although Roman is learning how to navigate through the backlash stemming from her own actions on "Basketball Wives" she is not ready to accept the backlash her daughters Lyric,19, and Jazz,17, receive just for being her children. Roman recently took to Instagram to apologize to Lyric who was scrutinized for her appearance on a recent episode of the show with her mother.
Roman vowed not to involve her daughters on the show in the future, telling CP that her 19-year-old Christian daughter is a straight-As college student, who is bilingual in French and deserves to enjoy her youth without unnecessary backlash.
It is up to Roman to take the reigns as the matriarch of her household after her mother, Nadine, recently passed away following a battle with liver cancer. Roman acknowledges that the loss of her mother has been difficult, but she testifies God is helping her deal with the loss.
"I know all things happen according to God's plan," Roman told CP. "So I had to come to the realization that even though I wanted my mother to be here with me, that wasn't His plan for her. But I think through his deciding to take her from me and my daughters, it's caused me to grow up."
While Roman's mother once handled much of the reality television star's business ventures, she is now standing on her own two feet by co-hosting the late night talk show "Tiny Tonight," marketing a hair extension line, and creating a cosmetics line called TR Love Cosmetics that features its lipgloss in Walgreens stores and donates a portion of their proceeds to the Akasha Center for Integrative Treatment.
Before "Basketball Wives," Roman had a 14-year career in the entertainment industry and wrote a short film, "Sundays At Noon," which is making its way around the film festival circuit.
Since "Basketball Wives" films for six months and is edited down into one-hour episodes to create exciting storylines, Roman insists that fans don't get to see her for who she fully is. She is an avid church attendee at The Fountain of Praise Church in Houston, TX where she encourages people to visit. She is also a mother who prides herself on instilling spiritual and moral values upon her daughters, and she is a businesswoman who is determined to be defined by more than who she was once married to.
"'Basketball Wives' doesn't and will never define me. It's just one more step in my life that's afforded me a certain amount of popularity and vision in the entertainment industry," Roman told CP. "I'll continue it as long as it continues and when the next thing comes along I hope to be involved with something else. I want people to know and really try to understand that there's more to me than "Basketball Wives"."

It was less than a month that we announced crossing the 10,000 users milestone for Ubuntu phones and tablets, and we've already reached another: 100,000 app downloads!
The new Ubuntu store used by phones, tablets, and soon the desktop as well, provides app developers with some useful statistics about how many times their app was downloaded, which version was downloaded, and what country the download originated from. This is very useful as it it lets the developer gauge how many users they currently have for their app, and how quickly they are updating to new versions. One side-effect of these statistics is that we can see how many total downloads there have been across all of the apps in the store, and this week we reached (and quickly passed) the 100,000th download.
We're getting close to having Ubuntu phones go on sale from our partners at Bq and Meizu, but there are still no devices on the market that came with Ubuntu. This means that we've reached this milestone solely from developers and enthusiasts who have installed Ubuntu on one of their own devices (probably a Nexus device) or the device emulator.
The continued growth in the download number validates the earlier milestone of 10,000 users, a large number of them are clearly still using Ubuntu on their device (or emulator) and keeping their apps up to date (the number represents new app installs and updates). This means that not only are people trying Ubuntu already, many of them are sticking with it too. Yet another datapoint in support of this is the 600 new unique users who have been using the store since the last milestone announcement.
To supply all of these users with the apps they want, we're continuing to build our community of app developers around Ubuntu. The first of these have already received their limited edition t-shirts, and are listed on the Ubuntu Pioneers page of the developer portal.
There is still time to get your app published, and claim your place on that page and your t-shirt, but they're filling up fast so don't delay. Go to our Developer Portal and get started today, you could be only a few hours away from publishing your first app in the store!

Correspondent Swedish Television, SVT and Svenska Dagbladet.
Best Sartorial advice from your parents?
"Hel och ren," best translated as ?wholesome and clean.? Because of them I really take care of my precious fashion pieces and feel guilty when I walk around in a coat with a missing button.
Style icons?
New Yorkers, I love the city and think people here offer more diversity and sense of style than anywhere else in the world. An afternoon on the town beats most fashion magazines when it comes to inspiration.
Describe your personal style?
I think dressing is like acting, I am always trying to dress for an imaginary roll that I make up in the morning? like today I want to be a 70′s biker chic from France, or pretend that I am on a cruise in the Stockholm archipelago. I like conceptual dressing, and in my concepts elegance and femininity are always the key words.
I really love an old pocket watch from the 1910′s that belongs to my family and therefore gives it extra value.
I feel best wearing?
Colors, I don't feel like myself in black.
Is there a particular color?
I am a red loving girl it is the dominant color in my wardrobe. I tend to wear red every day, and if not, my red lipstick shows my never-ending love for this beautiful color. Red represents everything from revolution to love. It is a color that makes people happy and energized – at least that is the effect red has on me – and the reason why I stay faithful.
This photo of you was up in Scott?s solo show at The Danziger Projects, how did it feel to see a photo of yourself up in an exhibit?
To me, the photo sums up fashion week by showing excitement and exhaustion at the same time. I remember the moment when the photo was taken, how much my Miu Miu shoes did hurt after running around the city and how my brain was trying to sum up the shows and how much I was looking forward to that evening. When I saw the photo at the exhibit it made me go back to that special day and it reminded me, and still does, why I keep running around in uncomfortable shoes.
How do you feel about people's responses to the photo, both online and in "real life"?
Both thankful and entertained. A lot of people refer to me as ?the girl in the red dress,? and since I think the photo represents me really well I am happy to hear what people have to say!
Do you get recognized by people?
I get recognized a lot by people because of Scott's work. People sometimes come up to me when I am waiting for the L-train and want to talk about my style. One funny thing is when other photographers ask if they can take my picture during fashion week they always refer to Scott?s work.
The first thing I look at in another Sartorialist's outfit?
I always look at the color combinations first, and then the concept and then I make up a story around what the person is wearing.
I always break this fashion rule?
I love unexpected color combinations and always trust my gut feeling when it comes to this, even if it looks weird the first time when I see myself in the mirror.
I never break this fashion rule?
?Wholesome and clean,? I will for sure never be a punk when it comes to my looks.

As a stay at home mom, I have to admit that by the end of the day I enjoy a nice glass of wine. I also have to admit that I'm far from being a wine connoisseur and will usually end up taking whatever bottle has the prettiest label home! While the pretty labels are nice, I recently discovered through US Family Guide, Winc Wine Club that will select wines that I would enjoy and deliver it right to my door! Winc Wine Club has a unique way to order wine using a Palate Profile quiz to match you to the flavor profiles you prefer.
Winc has hundreds of wines to choose from and they are priced starting at $13 a bottle. As a first time customer you are eligible to receive $22 off of your first box!
The steps are simple and fun! Simply go online and you'll get to answer a few questions about what tastes good to you and then your specialized wine selection appears! You can keep those selections or you can scroll through and select your own. Filters will allow you to narrow down the hundreds of options according to color, sweetness, and origin.
I personally enjoy more of a sweet or fruity option and my preselected selection included two reds and two white options. I did go back through and changed a couple of the choices based on the interesting options I found while searching. I even added an additional bottle in there because so many of them looked appealing!
My bottles arrived a few days later and I was so excited! Along with my wine bottles, I received a Welcome book of wines A-Z, and several money-saving coupons for additional great products!
After unpackaging the carefully boxed wines, I had to uncork a couple of them! I chose the Riesling and Red Blend first. The Riesling is cool and crisp and sweet. The Red Blend is so smooth and not dry which is what I love.
A girl could get used to this! Not only that, but a couple of days later, I received an email showing meal pairings with my selected wines. My selected Red Blend wine paired nicely to Honey Roasted Chicken with roasted vegetables, while my Sparkling White Blend pairs nicely with Blueberry Plum Crumble!
Winc Wine's home delivery club is an easy, enjoyable, and rewarding club to be a part of! Their customer service department is kind and helpful and will fulfill your request to skip a month or cancel at any time.
With continued random selections each month or picking and choosing ones that look the most intriguing such as an orange wine, refreshing Summer Water, or Ruza! There's sure to be more than one option to peak your interest!
Head over to Winc today and save $22 on your first box! With no commitments and only delicious and unique wine options to choose from- you'll be glad you did!

In his ground-breaking book On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin set out the theory that small anomalies, or tiny variations, between individuals can give one or the other a competitive advantage. Generation after generation those tiny advantages are passed down, or selected, until the species eventually changes.
Of course not all anomalies offer an advantage. And it is that aspect of nature at the Museum that I am here to give you a glimpse behind the scenes of today.
In the last row of one of the Museum's many specimen store rooms, in a section that houses the Comparative Anatomy collection, is a cabinet in the far corner labelled 'miscellaneous'. As the name suggests, it contains various types of specimens from different sources, but they all have one thing in common. That is: they're all a little bit different, a bit strange, anomalous. It truly is a cabinet of curiosities.
Let me introduce you to a few of the stars of the shelves:
Perhaps the most beautiful specimen is the co-joined duck foetus with two bodies and one head, necks arched out, almost forming a heart shape. Its bones are highlighted red by a process called Alizarin staining.
These two malformed piglets - the one on the left came to the Museum around 1899, the one on the right originates from China circa 1903 - both feature a 'fleshy protuberance', or additional nostril, above their snout.
Two cats for you now. The newborn kitten above is what's known as agnathous, or 'without jaws'; although in this case, without face is probably more appropriate.
And below we have the legs of a four-week old kitten that is polydactylous, or has more than the normal number of digits. Its six-toed foot is shown.
Here we have a five-week-old chicken with three legs and four feet.
Of course its not impossible for a fowl to live with an additional appendage or two. Remember Stumpy the four-legged duck?
And finally we have this small viper with two heads, found in Aberystwyth, Wales.
And here's an additional little titbit for you: did you know that the Museum cares for the national eye collection? Well, we do. The bisected specimens were given to us by the London Ophthalmic Hospital before it closed in 1988.

Toni Braxton has taken aim at Oprah Winfrey in a new TV expose, alleging the TV titan was mean to her during a 1998 interview about the singer's financial problems.
The R&B star insists the TV chat severely damaged her reputation after the host made some choice remarks about her over-spending that led Braxton to declare bankruptcy.
In a taped interview with VH1 for a "Behind The Music" special, which will air on Monday, the singer says, "She was so frickin' mean to me, I was in shock.
"She said, 'I hear you have Gucci flatware; I'm Oprah Winfrey and I don't have Gucci flatware…' You didn't have Gucci flatware because you didn't wanna buy it; it's not because you couldn't afford it."
Squeezing her thumb and forefinger together, Braxton recalls, "She made me feel this big."
Winfrey has yet to comment on the claims she was mean to her guest.

Red Hot Chili Peppers star Chad Smith forced Will Ferrell to concede in a long-awaited 'drum-off' on Thursday by outshining the actor with his musical skills.
The rocker challenged the "Anchorman" star to a battle in an online video in February after Ferrell made fun of their resemblance during a question-and-answer session on Reddit.com.
The duo came head-to-head on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Thursday when they thrilled the audience by wearing identical clothing and impersonating each other during an interview about their 'rivalry.'
Ferrell and Smith then climbed behind drum kits and began trading beats and light-hearted insults, but after several exchanges, the funnyman gave up and dropped his drumsticks to the floor.
However, Ferrell was determined not to be totally outdone, so he began playing a cowbell as the rest of the Red Hot Chili Peppers appeared onstage for a performance of "Blue Oyster Cult's (Don't Fear) The Reaper."
The drum-off was staged to raise money for charities Cancer for College and Little Kids Rock.

I love the looks of this coffee table that?? Saídos da Concha posted to our Fresh New Spaces Group on Flickr:
It's an upcycled pallet with some simple wheels attached and some very nice styling. The geraniums are the perfect touch. For more lovely photographs and images from her handmade life, check out Concha's blog. She even has very simple instructions for how to make this table.

First I checked out the Summer 2010 copy, since this is where the article analyzed by Cozy Beehive was printed. But there's a lot more there than just the analysis of Tour de France speeds. A real gem was a translation of an article from a 1939 Vélo, by Jean Leulliot: How to Become a Bicycle Racer. A lot of good stuff printed there, less different from much of today's advice than one might expect, but I'm attracted to math, and an interesting mathematical contribution was his recommended weight-versus-height formula:
mass = (height ‒ 100 cm) × (1 kg / cm).
These days recommendations are more typically made in terms of BMI:
mass = BMI × height².
So I decided to compare the two. How did Leulliot's formula compare to BMI?
Here's a plot:
You can see his formula results in a higher BMI for taller riders than for shorter riders, at least up to the maximum height plotted of 2 meters (the recommended BMI would begin dropping beyond this, but the recommendations probably weren't intended for such exceptionally tall people).
Now this is hardly new. Robert Chung produced the following plot, showing BMI versus cyclists and NBA players (to expand the height range), showing BMI tends to increase with height:
However, there's nothing scientific about the BMI formula: it's heuristic, designed to be easy to calculate by hand. There's no fundamental reason the "2" be an integer. So I fit a curve to the Leulliot formula and got the following adjusted BMI:
mass = BMI' × height2.38.
Note the two BMI values have different units and so can't be directly compared to each other without establishing a reference height at which the two should agree. But while I won't take the time to plot it, this value does quite a nice job of reproducing the slim side of Chung's plot (I focus on the slim side since basketball players obviously tend towards more upper-body muscle than cyclists).
But here's a plot of Leulliot's formula superposed directly (hand-drawn) on Chung's plot:
Considering that some of the NBA players are likely too stocky to race the Tour de France, the Leulliot limit line does fairly well, arguably better than the constant BMI target assumption.
The issue with any height-weight formula, of course, is mass depends on body type, not just height. Longer legs and you're probably lighter, long torso and you're probably heavier, both with the same build. So all such formulas are fuzzy. But it is interesting around a mean height of 175 cm, the Leulliot formula seems to come closer to Chung's plot than the more currently accepted BMI formula, designed for more pragmatic purpose than scientific.

Pressurized Orthotropic Container
Application ID: 12669
A thin-walled container made of rolled steel is subjected to an internal overpressure. As an effect of the manufacturing method, one of the three material principal directions—the out-of- plane direction— has a higher yield stress than the other two. Hill's orthotropic plasticity is used to model the difference in yield strength. The example also shows how to define and use curvilinear coordinates aligned with the principal directions of the material, which in this case follow the contours of the container.
The container has the shape of a cylinder capped by two torispherical heads (also called Klöpper head).
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
- COMSOL Multiphysics® and
- Nonlinear Structural Materials Module and
- MEMS Module, or Structural Mechanics Module
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.

Dana Berry/NASA Ames
Guest post by Christopher Crockett
NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer, or LADEE, mission just ended with a literal bang. Having run out of fuel to safely maintain its orbit, LADEE was purposely steered into a slow, steady nosedive toward the lunar surface. The spacecraft plunged into the farside of the moon at 5,800 kilometers per hour around 1 am Eastern time on April 18.
LADEE, launched in September 2013, spent the past several months examining the moon's tenuous atmosphere. NASA scientists hope to use another spacecraft, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, to get an image of LADEE's burial site in the next few months.

UMass Dartmouth won five events. Junior Kathleen Foley (Haverhill, MA/Haverhill HS) won the 50 yard breaststroke in 33.96 seconds, the 100 breaststroke in 1:13.33, and the 200 individual medley in 2:24.30. Senior Lisa Sands (Taunton, MA/Taunton HS/UMass) won the 50 butterfly in 30.61 seconds, and the 400 freestyle relay team of freshman Brittany Dupuis (Milford, MA/Milford HS), freshman Natalie Brochu (Hopedale, MA/Hopedale HS), junior Kaitlyn Kewriga (Stoughton, MA/Stoughton HS) and sophomore Lindsay Little (Danvers, MA/Danvers HS) was victorious in 4:11.10.
"We swam pretty well," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Cathy Motta. "We had some good swims, and we had a couple more people qualify for New Englands. We swam a little tired, and times we got are pretty good, considering that we've been training hard. We'll wrap up our dual meet season next weekend."
The Corsairs dropped to 2-9 with the loss, while the Panthers improved to 5-4 with the victory. UMass Dartmouth will return to action when they visit Colby-Sawyer next Saturday.

Ben Affleck is feeling proud — both personally and professionally. Talking to Us Weekly at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television Film Festival on Thursday, June 13 (where he was honored as the Filmmaker of the Year), the Argo director opened up about his biggest accomplishment yet: raising kids.
Indeed, Affleck, 40, and wife Jennifer Garner, 41, may have their hands full raising daughters Violet, 7, Seraphina, 4, and son Samuel, 15 months — but he told Us he wouldn't want it any other way.
"They're sweet," he said of their children. "It's great. Raising kids is the greatest thing I think a person, or at least I, could ever do in my life. I know what the best part of my life is and it's my kids and it doesn't mean there aren't other things that aren't great, but I know sort of what the center is."
The Academy Award winner, who is playing "Mr. Mom" this summer as Garner dives into more acting roles, is happy to have found a happy work/life balance.
"For me, I've discovered that I work best with having a kind of balance in my life," he told Us. "I work really, really hard. I'm at a point in my life where I don't want to do anything for a living if I can't really work hard at it, work 18 hour days and be completely dedicated and also feel like you have to be invested and work on your family."
Affleck added, "If you're not working on spending time with your kids, then why'd you have a family to begin with? At least, if you're able to. Some folks can't even, don't have that time. So I'm trying to do both and you know, just figuring it out as it comes. I certainly don't pretend to have all the answers."

Why would you want to horse trek in the winter?
There are lots of good reasons to ride in the winter in NZ, read on to find out what they might be..
- Cute Snuggly wooly ponies...in winter they grow shaggy wooly coats just like the Hobbits ponies.
- Less Crowded...For some reason people seem to think summer is the time for horse trekking but winter is a great time to ride so you will generally find smaller group sizes.
- Nice and cool for horses and riders...I LOVE riding in my full length oilskin coat. It makes me feel like 'Man from Snowy river'. All the warmth from the horse goes up inside the coat and keeps you toasty warm.
- Frosty mornings make for glittering natural ice gardens in the shady part of our treks. Feels like riding through the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe scenes.
- Steaming horses and steam coming out the horses' noses after a run makes you imagine you trained your very own dragon.
- Glistening perfectly constructed spider webs show up like jewels along side the trails in the morning mist.
- Other activities are more weather dependent - we can ride when the ocean is too rough for boating or fishing or when the mountain is too windy or cloudy.
- It's kind giving the horses a winter leg stretch...They often gallop around their feild in the winter just to warm up!

Global Geochemistry of Mid-Ocean Ridge BasaltsKent Ratajeski, email@example.com
Department of Geosciences, University of West Georgia, Carrollton, GA
Published Oct. 15, 2006.
Geological processes at the mid-ocean ridges are responsible for the bulk of the Earth's heat loss and volcanic activity. The compositions of materials erupted at these locations, dominantly mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB's), have profound implications for the inner workings of the Earth's mantle, the construction of oceanic crust, and global plate tectonics. In this exercise, students replicate a portion of a classic paper on MORB geochemistry [Klein and Langmuir, 1987] , but using a much larger global geochemical dataset downloaded from the PETDB database. Through a series of activities and questions, students are encouraged to think about the petrologic and geodynamic processes controlling the composition of Earth's most abundant volcanic rocks.
