The inscription on the Marvel superhero Thor’s hammer famously reads, “Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.” Previous writers have used that hook to shake things up before by having the hammer used by other “worthy” heroes, first by the alien Beta Ray Bill, then later by familiar faces like Captain America and Storm. But for the first time, the beefy blonde Asgardian we know and love has proven himself so unworthy that he’s being not just punished but actually replaced, and the new wielder of not only the hammer Mjolnir but the very name of Thor will be a woman!

In Marvel’s official announcement of the upcoming change, series writer Jason Aaron explained, “This is not She-Thor. This is not Lady Thor. This is not Thorita. This is THOR. This is the THOR of the Marvel Universe. But it’s unlike any Thor we’ve ever seen before.”

SB 310 Is Bad for Business
Much of the debate about

controversial Senate Bill 310 focused on increased energy costs to consumers. But what about Ohio businesses? The Ohio Partners for Affordable Energy and the Ohio Advanced Energy Economy recently released a report that details the increase in energy costs that will be born by Ohio commercial enterprises. The increases range from from nearly $17,000 for commercial customers of Dayton Power & Light to a high of almost $32,000 for businesses served by Ohio Edison. Duke Energy Ohio will pass on increased costs totaling more than $30,000 and businesses in central Ohio can expect an increase of more than $23,000 from AEP Ohio.
