On May 16 in Las Vegas, pageant queens from the 50 states competed for the title of Miss USA 2010. At the end of the event, 24-year-old Rima Fakih of Michigan was crowned Miss USA 2010 by the former pageant winner, Kristen Dalton of North Carolina.

Despite the fact that she nearly stumbled across the stage in her stunning evening gown, Rima Fakih was a lovely contestant. She was born in Lebanon and was just a baby when her family migrated to the United States of America.

BEIJING — South Korean President Lee Myung-bak issued a scathing condemnation of the North Korean regime Monday and announced trade restrictions that ratcheted tensions to their highest level in years on the Korean peninsula, which is home to more than 25,000 U.S. troops
The White House said in a statement that it fully backed Lee, and that President Barack Obama "has directed his military commanders to coordinate closely with their Republic of Korea counterparts to ensure readiness and to deter future aggression."

In a national address, Lee said North Korean ships no longer would be allowed in South Korean-controlled waters and that almost all inter-Korean trade was being canceled.

From wikipedia:
Anthony Burns (31 May 1834 – 17 July 1862) was born a slave in Stafford County, Virginia. As a young man, he converted to Baptism and became a "slave preacher". 1850 would prove a vital year in Burns' life because of the passage of the new Fugitive Slave Law that said that all slaves must be returned to their master regardless of where they were discovered, a major setback to abolitionists' efforts to emancipate all slaves. Vigilante groups with members of both races sprang up in retaliation, attacking convoys leading fugitive slaves back into bondage in the Deep South where the hopes of escape were slim. This law would later cause Burns great troubles when he became a fugitive himself.
