Russian firefighters are seeing a “positive dynamic” as blazes in the Yaroslav, Tula, Penza and Udmurtia regions were extinguished, and smoldering peat fires near Moscow shrunk by 30 hectares, Emergency Situations Ministry crisis center director Vladimir Stepanov said in a briefing. The skies over Moscow were noticeably less smoky Tuesday, with the sun clearly visible, and the forecast was for 34 degrees Celsius, below recent record temperatures.

No civilians perished in the past day from the fires, Mr. Stepanov said, leaving the death toll at around 50, but a member of the Russian armed forces was killed after a burning tree near the Sarov nuclear facility fell on his head, Interfax news agency reported.

The cost of the extreme heat and fires in Russia is estimated at $15 billion, or about 1% of gross domestic product, Kommersant daily reported, citing investment banks.

The human cost may also be high, with the death rate in Moscow rising 50% in July compared with a year earlier. The political toll is still being evaluated, with some analysts saying the party of President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin may suffer as food prices rise as a result of the drought-ravaged grain harvest.

Miss USA 2010 – Miss Michigan Michigan – Rima Fakih

The Miss USA beauty contest has been held annually since 1952 to select the United States entrant in the Miss Universe pageant. The Miss Universe Organization operates both pageants, as well as Miss Teen USA.
Miss USA 2010, the 59th edition of the Miss USA pageant, will be held at the Theatre for the Performing Arts in Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 16, 2010. The winner will represent the United States in the Miss Universe 2010 competition. Miss USA 2009, Kristen Dalton from North Carolina, will crown her successor at the end of this event. The 50 states and the District of Columbia will compete for the prestigious title and the pageant will broadcast live on NBC.

The pageant will be co-hosted by Australian celebrity chef Curtis Stone and Today show correspondent Natalie Morales. Colour commentary will be provided by Joan and Melissa Rivers. Pop rock band Boys Like Girls will perform during the swimsuit competition and country music star Trace Adkins will perform during the evening gown competition. Stone, Adkins and Rivers have all appeared on Donald Trump’s television show Celebrity Apprentice.

Kristen Dalton and Chet Buchanan hosted the Miss USA 2010 Presentation Show. For the first time since Miss Universe did last year, the Miss USA 2010 Preliminary Competition was live webcast via Ustream (on www.missusa.com) in Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino on May 12, 2010.

The competition was broadcast in High Definition for the third time in history.

Delegates representing the fifty states plus the District of Columbia competed in the pageant, and arrived in Las Vegas on May 3.

Pageants were held from June 2009 to January 2010 to select the representative for each state. During the final show on May 16, the fifteen delegates with the highest average score from the preliminary competition were announced. The top fifteen competed in the swimsuit competition. The top ten delegates from swimsuit competed in evening gown. The top five delegates from the evening gown competition (not averaged composite scores from both competitions) competed in the final question round to determine the winner. The judges’ composite score was shown after each round of competition for the fourth time since 2002.

History

The Miss USA pageant was conceived in 1950 when Yolande Betbeze, winner of the rival Miss America pageant refused to pose for publicity pictures while wearing a swimsuit. Pageant sponsor Catalina decided to pull their sponsorship off the pageant, and create their own competition. Other owners have included a subsidiary of Gulf+Western Industries, ITT Corporation, and billionaire Donald Trump, the current owner who bought the pageant in 1996.

The first Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants were held concurrently in Long Beach, California in 1952; the first Miss USA winner was Miss New York USA Jackie Loughery. There were thirty delegates in the first year of competition, and many states did not compete every year during the first two decades of the pageant’s history. From the 1970s, each state and the District of Columbia have sent a delegate each year. Alaska first competed in 1959 and Hawaii in 1960. Both had competed at Miss Universe until this time.

The pageant aired on CBS from 1963 until 2002, and for many years was known for having a CBS game show host as pageant host. John Charles Daly hosted the show from 1963–1966, Bob Barker from 1967 until 1987, Alan Thicke in 1988, Dick Clark from 1989–1993, and Bob Goen from 1994–1996. The show’s highest ratings were in the early 1980s, when it regularly topped the Neilsen ratings. Viewership dropped sharply from the 1990s to the 2000s, from an estimated viewership of 20 million to an average of 7 million from 2000–2001. In 2002, owner Donald Trump brokered a new deal with NBC, giving them half-ownership of the Miss USA, Miss Universe and Miss Teen USA and moving them to NBC on an initial five year contract. The pageants were first shown on NBC in 2003.

Historically, the winner of the Miss USA title has represented the United States in its sister Miss Universe pageant. From its inception to 2008, seven Miss USA titleholders have gone on to win Miss Universe. In the mid-1960s, it was established when a Miss USA wins the Miss Universe title, the first runner-up assumes the Miss USA title for the remainder of the year. This has happened in 1980, 1995 and 1997. In 1967, the first runner-up declined the title and the crown went to the second runner-up Cheryl Patton. The only instance where a first runner-up assumed the title of Miss USA prior to this period was in 1957 when Mary Leona Gage resigned when it was discovered she was married.
Unlike the Miss America pageant, there is no talent section at Miss USA. Delegates are required to compete in Evening Gown, Swimsuit, and Interview. The 2010 pageant drew criticism for publishing photos of contestants in revealing outfits and sultry poses.

The modern pageant consists of a preliminary competition, held in the week before the pageant where all contestants are judged in swimsuit, gown, and interview. From this the semi-finalists are chosen, and they are announced during the live broadcast of the final competition. Semi-finalists then compete in swimsuit and evening gown, before some are eliminated and the interview competition is held. The runners-up and winner are announced at the end of the telecast. The judges for the finals are usually different from those who judged the Preliminary competition.

From 1975–2000, all delegates who made the initial cut competed in an interview competition in some format, often involving all semi-finalists. As of 2001, this interview portion was taken away and leaving only the “final question” for the top five delegates to answer. The finals judges thus only hear the final candidates speak.

From 1979–2002, the average scores of each delegate were shown on the television broadcast and thus the semi-finalists could be ranked. This was changed in 2003 to a “circle” system where judges choose a certain number of delegates to “circle”, and those with the most “circles” make the cut. This was the same system that was used prior to the “computer” scoring system implemented in 1979.

State competitions

 Every year, each state holds a preliminary competition to choose their delegate for the Miss USA pageant. In some states (such as Texas and Florida), local pageants are also held to determine delegates for the state competition. The state winners hold the title “Miss State USA” for the year of their reign.

The most successful state is Texas, which has had the most semi-finalists and winners, including five consecutive Miss USA titleholders during the 1980s. Other successful states include California, New York, Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia. The least successful states are Montana, which has not placed since the 1950s; Wyoming, which has had only one placement, in the 1980s; and Delaware, the only state that has never placed. The only state which has produced more than one Miss Universe is South Carolina.

The Miss Universe Organization licenses out the state pageants to pageant directors, who in some cases are responsible for more than one state. The most well established directorial groups are RPM Productions, created in 1980 (Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina), and Vanbros, created in the early 1990s (Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma), both of which have been in existence since the early 1990s. Future Productions direct the most states, six, across the Midwest and Rockies.

Winners

The first Eurasian woman to win Miss USA was Mai Shanley in 1984, and the first African-American to win was Carole Gist in 1990.

Brandi Sherwood is the only woman to have held both the Miss Teen USA and Miss USA titles. She was Miss Idaho Teen USA, Miss Teen USA 1989, Miss Idaho USA 1997, first runner-up at Miss USA 1997 and in May 1997 assumed the Miss USA title after Brook Lee won the Miss Universe pageant. Eight other Miss USA titleholders have also previously competed at Miss Teen USA. These include:

Shanna Moakler (1995), (Miss Rhode Island Teen USA 1992), Ali Landry (1996), (Miss Louisiana Teen USA 1990), Kimberly Pressler (1999) (Miss New York Teen USA 1994), Lynnette Cole (2000) (Miss Tennessee Teen USA 1995), Susie Castillo (2003) (Miss Massachusetts Teen USA 1998), Chelsea Cooley (2005) (Miss North Carolina Teen USA 2000), Tara Conner (2006) (Miss Kentucky Teen USA 2002) and Rachel Smith (2007) (Miss Tennessee Teen USA 2002).
Five Miss USA titleholders have also competed at Miss America. These included Miss USAs 1954–1956 (Miriam Stevenson, Carlene King Johnson, Carol Morris), Mai Shanley (1984) and Shandi Finnessey (2004). All were unplaced Miss America, although Shandi Finnessey, Miss USA 2004 and Miss Missouri 2002 won a preliminary evening gown award at Miss America 2003. Also, Miriam Stevenson placed in the top 10 at Miss America 1954.

Many Miss USA winners have gone to pursue careers in the entertainment industry. Those who have been successful in the industry include Summer Bartholomew, Deborah Shelton, Laura Martinez-Herring, Shanna Moakler, Ali Landry, Kenya Moore, Brandi Sherwood, Susie Castillo and Shandi Finnessey.

SuperSpeed USB specification was agreed upon long ago, in November 2008, and compatible with her products have appeared relatively recently, thanks to companies such as Buffalo and Super Talent. Now the company, and Belkin, a well-known market leader in USB-connections joined the “club of USB 3.0» to PCIe-card and adapter ExpressCard.
 
Using the PCIe-card users can add to your desktop computer a couple of ports running on standard USB 3.0 and allow to add up to 127 devices. The energy of the system consumes more efficiently. Users of laptops can achieve a similar effect by setting the adapter ExpressCard.
 
The other two products manufactured by Belkin – USB-cable micro-B and AB.
 
The new lineup will be available in April, but for increased speed and optimized power consumption will have to pay. PCIe-ExpressCard adapter, and will cost under $ 79.99, and each cable will cost $ 39.99 when it comes to long cord 4 feet and $ 49.99 if you need vosmifutovy cable.

The speed of data transmission through a wireless protocol will increase from 54 to 600 megabits per second.

Association of Wi-Fi Alliance and WiGig Alliance reported that it has signed a partnership agreement under which standard Wi-Fi WiGig will operate at 60 gigahertz, a data rate of up to 7 gigabits per second. This is several times faster than the latest version of the standard Wi-Fi 802.11n. It is assumed that the first device to support the new standard, operating at a frequency of 60 gigahertz, will be put on the market until the end of 2010, and in 2011 will model that also supports frequency Wi-Fi.

Recall that at the moment wireless protocol Wi-Fi operates at a frequency of 2.4 and 5 gigahertz.
