Miss Utah Steals Miss USA's Thunder - Miss Utah’s ridiculous answer to her Q&A portion of the Miss USA competition has taken the shine away from Miss Connecticut- the winner of the pageant. Celebrity judge Nene Leakes asked 21 year old Merissa Powell to respond to the fact that women are becoming the main bread winners in their families but still earn considerably less than their male counterparts. Powell was clearly confused and flustered and responded: “I think we can relate this back to education and how we are continuing to try to strive to figure out how to create jobs right now. That is the biggest problem, and I think especially the men are seen as the leaders of this, and so we need to try to figure out how to create education better so that we can solve this problem. Thank you.” The answer was riddled with awkward pauses and smiles. It goes without saying that of the 5 contestants who were left, she came in 5th place.

Council woman wants plan for vacant philly schools - With 23 schools around Philadelphia to close down City Councilwoman Blondell Brown wants a plan that will repurpose the soon-to-be vacant buildings. Brown said, ““Abandoned buildings can quickly become the scourge of a neighborhood if there is no plan in place to secure new tenants or re-imagine the building.” A recent study done by the UPenn School of Design found that 75% of the schools that are scheduled to close are in “weak or transitional real estate markets”. The council committee will start brainstorming solutions and will be taking feedback from city planners, developers, residents, leaders, the school district and the Nutter Administration. They will also look to other cities in similar situations for inspiration.
