http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/content/?cid=5396 (six weeks ago) is now official, as per NASA release today.
Yeah, I'm wondering if there's any point to a "press release" thread, when they are so far behind?
Sure -- it has some historical value, which will probably increase when we look back at them.

Yeah, there's no harm in having a PR thread....if anything it's sometimes useful to see articles we produce here being confirmed on the official lines.

That's the right forward segment...the view that had been posted was of the left forward segment mating in the integration cell.

Yeah, they do that with the upper segments -- you can see the plastic (or something similar) that has been attached. When the segment is positioned over the one it will be attached to in the integration cell, the plastic forms an enclosure around the segments while they're being mated.
Edit -- adding a short movie showing stacking of the last segment, which shows how that attachment (sort of like a shower curtain) is deployed in the integration cell.

With the damage to the pad as reported in today's article is there a danger of STS-125 delay? Or 39A pad structures could be repaired pretty quickly?

We don't know yet, but the assumption is there's enough time before STS-125 (needs to be repared by early September for rollout).
The concern would be Launch on Need (LON) rescue of STS-124, as Pad 39B is not yet ready (in preparation for LON-400). So far, of course, there is no LON requirement for STS-124 and there's no reason to assume there would be one based on the clean ascent.
When we know more, we'll update.
