Brewers Thursday: Green seeking answers
APR 18, 2013 1:29p ET
The 26-year-old injured the hip during spring training and was left behind at the team's minor league facility to rehab in extended spring training. Right when he was about to embark on a minor league rehab assignment, Green aggravated the injury diving for a ground ball.
When the hip wasn't progressing as hoped, the Brewers decided to have Raasch examine the injury further.
"Every time he gets ready to go out on a rehab he has a setback," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "It has happened a couple of times. I know he's discouraged. (Fellow infielder Jeff) Bianchi is out playing on his rehab, so I think it's hard.
"He's had this before. It isn't like it's just flared up. We're trying to figure out what he needs to do to get him back out there."
Though Green hit just .184 with three home runs and 14 RBI in 58 games with the Brewers last season, the versatile infielder most likely would have made the team's Opening Day roster or would have been called up by now because of all the injuries in the infield.
Who starts Saturday? The rainout in Chicago last week pushed up the date Milwaukee will need a fifth starter to Saturday, and the Brewers have determined who they want to take the ball but will wait to announce the decision as they inform those involved.
That means a pitcher is coming up from the minor leagues, likely either Hiram Burgos or Tyler Thornburg. Because both are on the 40-man roster, the Brewers can choose the guy they believe is pitching the best.
Because of a rainout this week, Thornburg is scheduled to pitch Saturday for Nashville, while Burgos' turn falls on Sunday. That means either could be on full rest to pitch against the Cubs. THough no corresponding 40-man roster move has to be made, somebody from the 25-man roster has to be sent down. The most likely two candidates are former fifth starter Mike Fiers and long reliever Alfredo Figaro.
The Brewers will have a decision to make after Saturday's game because a fifth starter is not needed again until April 30.
Lost in the shuffle: Figaro hasn't pitched since April 9 in Chicago, but it has nothing to do with health. Situations and how he's fared in his past two innings has regulated him to a long relief role.
The Brewers needed a long reliever in Tuesday's game, but Roenicke opted to go with Fiers instead.
"The chances haven't been there," Roenicke said. "If he would have been lights out his last couple of outings he would be pitching more. He's in a role now where he's more of a long man because ( Tom) Gorzelanny has pitched well and now he's in the eighth inning, but that can change."

Emile Henry Fish Marinator & Grill Tray
- Summary
The secret to moist, flavorful grilled fish, this multi-functional ceramic tray from France makes it easy to marinate, cook and serve fresh filets or steaks, all in the same vessel. High ridges sear the fish with grill marks, while the flame-safe ceramic gently diffuses heat to keep fish from becoming dry and overcooked. Great for vegetables, too!
- Ideal for cooking fish on the grill or stovetop, in the oven or under the broiler.
- Crafted of durable, high-fired Burgundian clay to ensure gentle, uniform heat conduction.
- Finished with Emile Henry's proprietary lead-free black Flame glaze, which won't chip or crack and is safe for use with knives and other metal utensils.
- Goes directly from freezer or fridge to the oven or barbecue, then makes a graceful transition to the table, where it helps keep fish warm during your meal.
- Restaurant-quality glazed stoneware withstands temperatures up to 930°F, making the tray ideal for use on the grill or in the oven.
- High sides allow you to gently cook fish in its marinade—or use the spout to pour off liquid before grilling.
- Ridged cooking surface sears fish with attractive grill marks.
- Two large handles make it easy to transfer the tray from fridge to grill to table.
- Crafted in Marcigny, France by Emile Henry, makers of fine French kitchen ceramics since 1850.
- Dimensions & More Info
- 19 1/2 x 11" x 1 1/2" high overall.
- Made in France.
- Use & Care
- Designed for use on gas and electric cooktops, in the oven or on a grill; not designed for use on induction cooktops.

- More about Emile Henry
Emile Henry has been crafting artful kitchen ceramics since 1850, when the French company was founded in a small town in Burgundy. Today, it's still proudly owned and operated by members of the Henry family. The mineral-rich soils of Burgundy are known for creating wines with unique terroir, but they also yield the special local clays used to craft each piece of Emile Henry cookware and bakeware. The high-fired clay withstands extremely high temperatures while distributing and retaining heat gently and evenly. Artisans hand apply the glazes to create vivid color that looks beautiful in the kitchen and at the table.

May 2006North American prairie wetlands are important nonforested land-based carbon storage sitesEuliss, NH Gleason, RA Olness, A McDougal, RL Murkin, HR Robarts, RD Bourbonniere, RA Warner, BG SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 361:1-3 179-188 We evaluated the potential of prairie wetlands in North America as carbon sinks. Agricultural conversion has resulted in the average loss of 10.1 Mg ha(-1) of soil organic carbon on over 16 million ha of wetlands in this region. Wetland restoration has potential to sequester 378 Tg of organic carbon over a 10-year period. Wetlands can sequester over twice the organic carbon as no-till cropland on only about 17% of the total land area in the region. We estimate that wetland restoration has potential to offset 2.4% of the annual fossil CO2 emission reported for North America in 1990. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |

Jul 31, 2013 7:58 AM by Eugene Daniels
DURANGO, Colo. (AP) - A judge has declared a mistrial in the case of Ignacio man who was shot and wounded by Southern Ute police after police say he threatened an officer with a baseball bat.
The Durango Herald reports (http://bit.ly/16A47UK ) the judge declared the mistrial last week after jurors couldn't agree whether 24-year-old Anthony Martinez was guilty of felony menacing.
Prosecutor Keri Yoder said Monday she intends to retry the case.
Prosecutors say Martinez ran toward three Southern Ute Police Department officers with a bat about 3:40 a.m. Dec. 5.
His lawyers contend Martinez was defending himself from people he thought were trying to attack him. They also said one shot hit him in the back.

Alan Wake on PC: What's New, What Took So Long
Here is Remedy's Oskari Hakkinen on what's in Alan Wake for the PC, mods, and how "not doing the PC version is like killing one of your children."
by Sarah Lynch on
Man.... this is very annoying... I was watching this video (had to watch publicity) then the video stopped. I had to reload the page... AGAIN I had to watch a different publicity and again it stopped playing at half the length... I had to refresh the page and AGAIN watch a new publicity... Unbelievable... I'm off to another game review site.
I said this at the time, when the sales of the 360 version stop then they would remember that they had a nearly completed PC version that got scrapped at the last moment when Micro$uck decided that Alan Wake "wasn't right for PC gamers" I wonder how many people are gonna pirate this game now...lets see a show of hands, lol
Thanks a lot Microsoft you piece of s***, thanks to you I'm gonna play this game 2 years after it has been released for the XBOX360. The same time as a new installment is being released for the XBOX 360, just so that more people would buy your console. It's this kind of crap that you pull that makes you not deserve people's support nor their money.
not doing the PC version of Silent Hill Downpour is like killing one of your children im really thanking you guys for this, visit my youtube channel E25mad25, a blind let's play
Cool, I want to get it... but the character faces, expressions are kinda off. They need to borrow a page or two on that with Naughty Dog.
nice 1 gonna buy this 1 .. but hey hey micro watever wat about halo 3 and gears ... where did they go ? huh
I didn't really think it would happen... I am super-happy Remedy have been able to bring Alan Wake to PC eventually. They had always wanted one, but Microsoft made it a 360 exclusive.
@chillas99 stars weren't aligned.. that was his politically correct way of saying there were corporate entanglements. Remember that when Microsoft have a title they lay claim as X360 exclusive (like they did for this one), they like to keep it that way no matter what. They've done this kind of c***blocking before with many games. So when he says the stars weren't aligned he means it was a serious issue getting a green light for the funding for either the development or more importantly, the marketing and distribution, to make it happen. Be thankful it's not a GFWL monstrosity.
I already own this game on Xbox, I'm only too happy to purchase it again for the PC. I loved this game, and I think it's important to support developers who are building games outside of the box. Looking forward to playing this with settings max'd, and the lights down low.
@chillas99 haven't the thought of Microsoft delaying this release crossed your mind? They do know how people make fun of the 360s lack of exclusives..
"The stars weren't aligned?" Seriously, dude? That's the best you can come up with? I hope Remedy doesn't make you their official spokesmonkey, because that was lame casserole covered in lame sauce. Just go ahead and say it, say, "we view the PC as a third-class citizen because ZOMGWTF PIRATES!!!!111, but because we wanted to squeeze every possible cent out of the game we thought we'd toss you a bone." And now you want to "give the PC fans what they want?" You know what we want? We want you to remember you wouldn't exist if it weren't for the PC and for PC gamers. What we don't want is your sloppy seconds afterthought console port. If this had come out sometime chronologically near the original release of the game then maybe your lip service to PC fans might mean something. But two years later? Thanks, but no thanks Remedy. So just how many of your children have you killed?
3D Vision support !!!!! That changed my opinion to gave it another go on PC (no hud option ;))!! xD Hell yeaaahhh
looks pretty awesome. don't get my hopes up anymore tho, specially for ports. sounds they may have done a good upgrade.
The PC port has detailed advance graphical options including AA, AF, FXAA, draw distance and LOD distance. The controls are fully customisable, and something that'd make TotalBiscuit happy - there is even FOV option. As said in the video, the port also supports both Stereoscopic 3D and multi-screen. I haven't played much of the game yet to tell if there's any significant bugs, but so far Remedy is getting an A+ for the port effort from me.
Now if the price is right I'll get it on PC, but I'm not going to pay more than 10 to 15 € for a 3 year old port. If they try to make this a full price release (40+ €) I'll pick it up from a sale in another year. Thanks to all the delays and release bugs, the gaming industry tought me that I don't need to be among the first-day buyers. Looking forward to playing this fully linear story myself though.
@Adenosine I understand. But that's perhaps because they were taking their time to add some new feature on PC.
Unfortunately, the interest has already died for a lot of us. If you're releasing a game on consoles and you're thinking of also releasing it for the PC, then at least release them all at the same time. You say not releasing it for the PC is like killing a baby, but releasing it too late is like plugging a woman's birth canal for two years and then expecting the baby to come out without harm. Please, no more delays for us PC gamers!
@GodGundamNT1 No thanks. I'd fine with mouse and keyboard, any controller (including a wiimote), much higher render resolution, higher and more consistent framerates, mods, maps, skins, better graphics, no laggy online issues, no unnecessary online fees and all on the same machine as my web browser (that isnt a piece of crap), my long list of programs, my massive library of music and movies. Oh and if something goes wrong with a game on PC (bugs for example), most of the time there's a work around. Skyrim is a good example. BF3 is another example.
"Not doing the PC version is like killing one of your children !" - top of the line comment. That's why Remedy are among my favorite developers, because they respect PC games. Alan Wake will be exceptional for PC.
"Why wasn't the pc version released with the 360 version? Well that stars weren't aligned" Translation :"We really wanted to release it on pc too back in 2010 but MS realized that they spend more money on marketing third party games as 360 exclusives instead of actually making 360 exclusives so they forced us to only release the 360 version and cut out some content to charge as DLC"
I hate to hop on the "kickstarter bandwagon" with the whole double fine kickstarter thing being mentioned by everyone and their mother constantly- but seriously, I truly believe Remedy is one of the few companies with enough cred, but is still small enough, to be able to pull off a successful kickstarter campaign. would make a pc original/exclusive more viable
Still mind-numbingly boring gameplay then? Too bad they didn't give us the groundbreaking open world game it was originally meant to be.
I thought Alan Wake was kind of underrated- Played just like Max Payne, but with a less serious feeling. Overall really great game- can't wait to experience on PC.
please make a concrete decision on mods! :D it will give me even more incentive to buy.
It's very welcome, I actually appreciate being left out from the console hype as when we do get these games they come cheaper and include all the DLC releases as an added incentive.
@AcidSoldner Regardless of whether or not he's wrong, there's no need to call him names simply for stating an opinion. We can't all be as smart as you...
@Tixylixx You're a moron. It's been stated by Remedy a hundred times over that the switch from open-world to a more linear game was a creative design decision, not a technical one.

The Moosters are getting crafty again over in the Flickr Pool. Inspired by the promotional 10 pack box (like this Bebo one), Celula has made some alternative boxes, to her own design.
Featuring her unique illustrations and custom cut out shapes, we think they look fantastic.
The secret of the box design, she explains, comes from this template maker. It's a cool little app that lets you make a box for any number of cards.
Queen Conch has also been busy, making gift tags for her shop. She's added a gromit to one corner to make the hole more sturdy.
Meanwhile, Miss JJj has customised her cards with a piece of black ribbon, which looks very stylish indeed.
oh,i am so inspired by these cards..and i have know mercadoimaginario.com just on ypur blog..it is wonderful..i hope i will have my moo cards soon..have a nice day..

This week
Two shows join the list of high-school musicals this weekend.
Walter Panas, Cortlandt Manor: "South Pacific," 8 p.m. May 1, 2; $10. 914-739-2823, ext. 353.
Port Chester: "Godspell," 8 p.m. May 1, 2; $10, $8. 914-934-7900.
Sunlight on the sand?
Moonlight on the sea?
Mangoes? Bananas?
Check. Check.
All systems appear go for this weekend's production of "South Pacific" at Walter Panas High School, where two Nellie Forbushes will eventually fall in love with two Emile de Becques, to the lush music and wonderful lyrics of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II.
Opening night will feature senior Theresa Egan as the Navy nurse from Arkansas who falls for a French plantation owner with a mysterious past, played by junior Nick Pearl.
The next night, senior Hannah-Ruth Civita will play Nellie and 15-year-old junior Malcolm Pelletier will be her Frenchman.
Double-casting allows two senior girls to play the role of a lifetime, at the head of a cast of 52 in a production that involves 90 students, 10 percent of the Panas enrollment.
Civita says sharing the role with Egan has its advantages.
"We bounce ideas back and forth off each other, talking about how we're going to play her," she says. "There are a lot of differences, but a lot of similarities."
Egan agrees.
"It's good to have someone who knows what position you're in when you need help," she says.
Civita says that, while Nellie has some fun moments on stage - washing that man right out of her hair in one scene, parading around in a baggy pair of sailor's dress whites in another - she's drawn to the more emotional moments.
"When I say I'm leaving Emile and I run off stage, I like to play that emotion, something I haven't really played before," she says.
Civita also enjoys a reprise of "Some Enchanted Evening" she sings in Act 2.
"It's just one verse, but it's so emotionally charged that I love singing it," she says.
Don't get her wrong, she enjoys "Honey Bun," but mostly because her friend, Chris O'Neil, wears a coconut bra as Luther Billis.
"I'd say he's a B or C cup," she says with a giggle.
If Civita likes the darker moments, Egan's pick is "I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy," which includes a cascade of "I'm in loves."
"I was wondering how I was going to do it and I decided to just let loose and have a lot of fun with it and express it as if I were truly in love with this wonderful, amazing guy - and jump around as much as I can," Egan says.
"When you sing the same line over and over again, you need to either build it or sing it in a different emotional way - or it's just going to be bland 'I'm in love. I'm in love.' Really? Are you in love?"
Pearl, the opening night de Becque, says Emile runs the emotional gamut, from finding love in "Some Enchanted Evening" to love lost in "This Nearly Was Mine," a character arc that is a challenge even for a seasoned actor.
At 15, Pelletier is a young junior playing a man who's supposed to be much older than Nellie.
"He's in love with Nellie from the beginning, but it takes them both a while to discover that," he says.
Pearl says that sharing the role is easier, "because I don't have to be Emile at every rehearsal."
"I like it because it's more fair to Hannah," he says. "Hannah and Theresa are both seniors and they both couldn't be Nellie without two people being Emile."
There is just one Luther Billis, Chris O'Neil, the comic relief in a coconut bra and a big tattoo.
"I can't wait for 'Honey Bun,'" he says. "I get to dance with Nellie and then I come back and dance with the rest of the girls - coconut bra and all. It's a really fun scene."
And the melody? Infectious.
"It's stuck in my head all the time now," he says.

Odi Village, June 1995: Skeins of brightly colored wool dry in the yard of the Odi Weavers' workshop. The wool itself is imported from South Africa; for Botswana, a hot, desert country, is not suited for raising sheep. Once the raw wool arrives, the weavers wash, dye and then spin it into loops using hand cranked, wooden spinners. This photograph shows a large basin with running water for the washing of the wool. The buildings in the foreground are the workshops that house up to a dozen looms. The building in the background is the shop where tourists come to buy these beautiful examples of a Botswana craft. Weaving is an art that is practiced only by women. The sale of the tapestries provides needed income to their families. Photo by Returned Peace Corps Volunteer Susan Ross. |

Jewish World Review May 17, 2005 / 8 Iyar, 5765 What a miracle life is By Mitch Albom
A newborn's courage offers perspective
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
I've been feeling sorry for myself lately. I've had some dark clouds, and all I could see were my problems. All I could hear was that voice that says: "Why is this happening to me?"
Then, 10 days ago, I got an e-mail. It was from a couple I know in Grand Rapids, Mich., Brian and Kathy. Beautiful people. Energetic. Upbeat. They have two young daughters and were expecting a third any day.
The e-mail, I figured, was the birth announcement.
I was sort of right.
"Kathleen and I went in for a final ultrasound on Tuesday afternoon," Brian began. "The ultrasound immediately revealed a lot of abnormal fluid in all four ventricles of the baby's brain. . . . All indications throughout the pregnancy were that the baby was very, very healthy. Needless to say, we were shocked. . . ."
It went on to say that the child had to be delivered through a C-section, a week earlier than had been planned. Despite the swelling around her brain, she was otherwise normal, beautiful, black hair, 6.8 pounds.
Her parents had chosen a name.
One of the early ones explained that "Faith suffered a stroke probably days after our last healthy ultrasound. . . . It is very rare. . . . They will never know why, it just happens sometimes."
A stroke? In the womb? I didn't even know that was possible. And yet here was this precious baby, her first hours in the world already in crisis. Talk about a preparation for later life!
The strange thing is, each new e-mail contained photos (Brian is a professional photographer), and had those photos not been accompanied by medical updates, you would have thought this was just another perfect child "a little peach . . . so beautiful," as Brian put it. She wore a newborn's cap. She had a tiny dollop of a nose, full lips, a serene expression as she dozed, the sleep of the innocent.
And yet her tiny head was under constant pressure. A stroke? Blockage? Hemorrhaging? It just "happens"? A shunt was suggested to drain the fluid from around her brain. Surgery was required. More e-mails followed, updating the developments.
At a time when most couples are at home, receiving well-wishers who coo over the new arrival, Brian and Kathy were at DeVos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids, talking MRIs, pediatric neurosurgeons and intensive care units.
They spoke about Faith's older sisters, holding the baby, and how one said she had "extra juice" in her head. They spoke about their family and church friends who were cooking them meals. They spoke about the wave of prayers coming their way.
The world that swirled around this tiny child was many miles from me, and yet it pulled me in. I awaited every new photo. Every little update. I found that each new battle this infant soldier was waging made my problems seem pathetic.
A few days ago, I asked Brian and Kathy if I could write about their courageous daughter. They said yes, on one condition: "that you agree to play piano at her wedding."
As this column was filed, little Faith was undergoing surgery, a special procedure to place a small reservoir under her scalp to help drain the fluid from her brain. I can only pray it turned out well.
But I already know this: In her first 10 days on Earth, this wordless child has put more sentences in my head than all those indulgent, self-pitying voices. She has made me think and cry and put the ridiculous problems I must deal with in perspective.
Brian and Kathy signed off their e-mails with phrases like "keeping Faith" and "holding Faith" and one that read: "Even in these difficult times there is still laughter, joy, peace . . . Faith."
What a miracle life is.

Anglo trial : Legal advice as an issue in the case
Judge told jury that such advice on transaction was irrelevant to guilt or innocence

Shortly before the court broke for lunch on March 6th – Day 19 of the trial — Judge Martin Nolan briefly addressed the jury. He told them that the issue of whether legal advice was obtained by Anglo Irish Bank in relation to the July 2008 transaction was irrelevant to the guilt or innocence of the accused. There was to be no further reference to it in evidence.
This decision was the culmination of three days of drawn-out and at times acrimonious legal argument in the absence of the jury.
By that stage, about a dozen witnesses had given evidence about legal advice. Anglo directors, senior bank employees and some of the Maple 10 had told the court they were assured that advice had been sought and obtained on the lawfulness of the transaction. Many of them said they drew comfort from this.

- The Anglo trial: in quotes
- Anglo Irish Bank trial: the numbers, the charges, the witnesses
- Why some charges against Sean FitzPatrick and Pat Whelan were dropped
- Seánie winks as verdict exceeds his expectations
- Full coverage of the Anglo trial
On Day 14, however, the prosecution moved to have legal advice excluded. "Ignorance of the law is not a defence," said Úna Ní Raifeartaigh SC. What the accused believed as to what was lawful was not relevant.
Ms Ní Raifeartaigh argued that the offence with which the three Anglo directors were charged was not an offence requiring proof of knowledge as to lawfulness. If the defence argument was accepted, she told the judge, this would have "far-reaching implications" as it would apply to the whole of the Companies Act. An officer would never be in breach if he/she sought and received positive legal advice.
Brendan Grehan SC, for Pat Whelan, said he didn't have a problem with a ruling that specific legal advice could not be put before the jury, but it would be "inappropriate and wrong" for the court to say legal advice was irrelevant. The idea that you could be found guilty and sentenced to five years in jail "where there is no criminal intent" fell foul of fundamental principles of justice, Grehan said.
Michael O'Higgins SC, for Sean FitzPatrick, argued that the seeking of legal advice was a fact. "It was sought for a purpose. If that purpose was trying to minimise or prevent a breach of the act, then it's evidence in this case," he said.
The issue went to the centre of the case, O'Higgins argued, because section 60 offered an "out" if a company director took "all reasonable steps" to prevent a default. FitzPatrick raised "three red flags" on his call with David Drumm on July 9th 2008, O'Higgins said. Could the Maple 10 absorb losses? Was the regulator on board? And had legal advice been sought? For O'Higgins, the prosecution was trying to "bludgeon the court into some sort of fear factor."
Patrick Gageby SC, representing Willie McAteer, agreed. It was "absolutely fair" to say that legal advice was sought to head off a breach. "Is the prosecution trying to take back what has happened already?"
Extensive discussion took place around CC v Ireland, a 2006 "unlawful carnal knowledge" case in which the Supreme Court ruled part of an Act unconstitutional because if did not allow for the defence of honest mistake about the age of the female complainant.
But the prosecution insisted CC related to a mistake as to facts, not the law.
Judge Nolan agreed. In his ruling, he noted that "this issue of good or bad legal advice has been hanging over this case since the very first day." A "fundamental issue" was that ignorance of the law was not a defence. Allowing legal advice would confuse the jury, and would "distort" the act by bringing in a "good faith" defence.
The judge ruled from that point on there could be no mention of legal advice.
But the matter didn't end there. By the following morning, the mood had grown tense. All three defence teams said the judge had gone beyond the prosecution's request by ruling out not just the content of legal advice but all mention of it. According to Gageby, the judge had "radically interpreted" the application and this would have a "radical effect" on other aspects of the case.
To the three defence teams, it seemed the judge had declared the offence one of absolute liability – in other words, that a mistake of fact was not a defence. "We have reached an impossible position," Michael O'Higgins said, if the judge was closing off any good faith defence.
Another day of argument ensued. "Surely my client is entitled to show he did try to comply with the Companies Act. That's at the root of this," Gageby told the judge. "We're having an event airbrushed out of the case," said Michael O'Higgins.
Judge Nolan again ruled with the prosecution. The offence of contravening section 60 of the Companies Act was strict or ordinary liability, but the mental element related to facts, not the law. "If I were to accept that there is such a thing as a good faith defence, I would be radically departing from the norms of Irish criminal law," he said.

Kimmel Center Teams With Local LGBT Nonprofits For the Weeklong It Gets Better Project
The It Gets Better Project has become a household name. Created in September 2010 by columnist Dan Savage as a simple YouTube video encouraging LGBTQ youth that high school harassment and bullying will cease and that life will "get better," the initiative has turned into a world-wide movement. Over 50,000 users have created video messages for LGBTQ teenagers, including President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Ke$ha, and Ellen DeGeneres, amongst many others. Now, the project is fittingly on it's way to the City of Brotherly Love.
The It Gets Better Project engagement at the Kimmel Center kicks off next week with a weeklong long residency that includes a series of free events leading up to a Saturday evening multimedia concert at the Perelman Theatre. Read more »
Nearly 3,000 Gay Marriages in Jersey, So Far
The Star-Ledger reports: "A total of 2,955 gay couples were married in New Jersey from Oct. 21, when same-sex weddings began under the orders of a state judge, through the end of March, according to the state health department. At the same time, 43,619 heterosexual couples were wed. That means about one of 15 marriages performed in the state during that period were for same-sex couples."
The paper adds: "Activists said they expect the pace will increase as the wedding season begins next month. One observer said gay marriages could bring up to $94 million to New Jersey's economy over the next three years. She suspects many couples from Pennsylvania, which does not allow gay marriage, will also cross the border to get hitched."
Meet the Millennial Behind Philly's LGBT Equality Bill
Last spring when I was covering Jim Kenney's LGBT Equality Bill, I visited the councilman's office in City Hall to learn more about it. During our conversation, I noticed he kept deferring to his young assistant in the corner, particularly when I asked about the many components extending rights to Philly's transgender community. The assistant's name was Chris Goy, 26, and what I later found out is that he was the driving force behind creating the bill, the person who hit the streets to talk to locals about ways to make Philadelphia better when it comes to offering all-inclusive LGBT rights, the person who wrote the entire thing — all 35 pages of it.
Toomey Backs Bill Banning Workplace Discrimination Against Gays

Pat Toomey broke with the majority of his party Monday evening by voting to move forward with legislation that would ban workplace discrimination against gay employees. … The vote underscores a narrative Toomey is building ahead of his re-election campaign: He's bullish on economic issues but is softer on social issues like guns and gay rights."

Western PA School Won't Let Transgender Teen Run for Homecoming King
A western Pennsylvania school board won't let a studentwho was born female but identifies as male run for homecoming king.
The Richland School Board didn't rule on Kasey Caron's request Monday night, but simply let stand an earlier decision by school administrators which leaves the 17-year-old senior on the ballot for homecoming queen.
Kasey's mother, Kathy Caron, says she's disappointed by the decision. Kasey says, "My heart sunk a little."
Miss'd America Returns to AC: The Real Queen Will Be Crowned
The Press of Atlantic City reports:
The 2013 Miss'd America competition will be held at 8 p.m. (Saturday) at the House of the Blues at Showboat Casino Hotel. This year's event, which has a circus theme, is presented by the Greater Atlantic City Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Alliance and the Schultz-Hill Scholarship Foundation.
The event draws female and celebrity impersonators from throughout the country to compete in a night designed for fun and to raise money for local charitable organizations, Miss'd America co-founder Gary Hill said.
"It's a different kind of venue and show," Hill said. "It's a lot of fun and has a lot of energy. It works with the Do AC (promotion) of having something different in Atlantic City during the off- season."
AC Weekly fills in the history:
During Miss'd America's early years, there were rumors that the Miss America Organization — then led by local attorney Leonard C. Horn — was considering legal action to prevent the drag show from taking place, or at the very least force it to find another name.
Cross-dressing gay men poking good-natured fun at the gold standard of beauty pageants? On the very same day that pictures and television footage of the newly crowned real queen were being printed and aired?
Not in their backyard.
But some attorneys said that little apostrophe probably made a big difference in creating enough of a separation between the names that the public wasn't likely to confuse them.
Bill Would Ban Gay "Conversion Therapy" for Kids
Our G-Philly friends are all over this story:
In a press conference this afternoon at the Attic Youth Center, Philly State Rep. Brian Sims and Luzerne Rep. Gerald Mullery announced plans to introduce a bi-partisan bill that will make it illegal for Pennsylvania mental health providers to perform gay conversion therapy on minors. The bill is similar to one recently introduced in the State Senate by Anthony H. Williams. If passed, Pennsylvania would become the third state to pass such a law, following in the footsteps of New Jersey and California.
During the conference, Sims said:
"It's been 40 years since the American Psychological Association excluded homosexuality from being classified as a mental disorder, and the APA has published studies showing that patients younger than 18 suffer from a multitude of harmful effects associated with this so-called therapy, including withdrawal and suicidal thoughts. It's time to protect Pennsylvania children from this quackery that can inflict years of harm for those who manage to survive it."

Bucky O'Hare is a fictional character and the hero of an eponymous comic book series as well as spin-off media including an animated TV series and various toys and video games. He was created by comic book writer Larry Hama and Michael Golden[1] between 1978 and 1979[citation needed] and debuted to the public in Echo of Futurepast #1 in May 1984.
The storyline of Bucky O'Hare follows a parallel universe (the aniverse), where a war is ongoing between the slightly inept United Animals Federation (run by mammals) and the sinister Toad Empire. The Toad Empire is led by a vast computer system known as KOMPLEX, which has brainwashed the toad population.
The Bucky O'Hare comic book was first published by Continuity Comics in comic book form in the mid-1980s, appearing in the anthology series Echo of Futurepast, with Hama writing and Michael Golden on pencils. The series was later collected into an oversized graphic novel. Hama wrote a second Bucky O'Hare arc, which was never published.[2]
The comic book spawned an animated TV show between September 1991 & January 1992, along with a series of action figures.
A Bucky O'Hare video game developed by Konami for the Nintendo Entertainment System came out in 1992, and a Bucky O'Hare arcade game was also released.
Bucky and his gang are members of the S.P.A.C.E organization, which stands for Sentient Protoplasm Against Colonial Encroachment.
- Bucky O'Hare - a green hare, captains a mammal spaceship named The Righteous Indignation. His crew was introduced in the comic and consisted of:
- Jenny – first mate and pilot, a cat from the planet Aldebaran (not to be confused with the star in the real life universe of the same name) with mysterious magical and psionic powers common to the females of her species. They include telepathy, astral projection, energy blasts, and healing. Because of the sacred precepts of Alderbaran, she keeps these powers secret from the other members of the crew, with the exception of Willy, to whom she serves as a kind of surrogate mother.
- Willy DuWitt – engineer, a pre-teen human from San Francisco who enters the Aniverse via a portal between the ship's photon accelerator and his own accelerator at home. He replaced Bruce, the former engineer, who was killed (or in the franchise's terms, had "attained oneness with the Aniverse"). Later, Willy became stranded in the Aniverse when his parents turned off the photon accelerator back in his room. Bucky and his crew decide to keep Willy a secret from the S.P.A.C.E organization and the Toads.
- Deadeye Duck – gunner, a four-armed former space pirate duck from Kanopis III. He is missing an eye, and is impatient and violent, preferring to let his four laser pistols do the talking for him. Speaks with a Scottish accent in the comics.
- Blinky – an advanced AFC ("Android" First Class). Has only one eye. Uses the phrase "Calamity and Woe!" to identify problem situations for Bucky and his crew-mates.
- Bruiser – Bruce's brother, a Betelgeusian Berserker Baboon who joins Bucky's team as space marine on the Righteous Indignation. He, like all berserker baboons, scares the toads out of their wits and loves to beat them up. He is dimwitted but well-meaning, and has great respect for Willy.
The members of the Toad Empire introduced in the comic are as follows:
- KOMPLEX – the undisputed ruler of the Toad Empire. This computer program was designed to run the consumerist toad culture but instead took it over and militarized it. Its name, in toad language, is an anagram for 'Feed me'.
- Toad Air Marshall – one of KOMPLEX's foremost commanders, with a uniform adorned with medals and a face covered in warts.
- Toad Borg – one of KOMPLEX's elite troops, part toad, part robot.
- Storm Toads – the mindless toad soldiers who serve as the primary attack force for the Empire.
In the comic, Bucky and crew escape a toad attack but must rescue Jenny when she is captured by the toads. In the end, a strange, omnipotent mouse banishes the toads attacking Bucky to "a safe place where the food is bad and taxes are high". Willy's parents, not knowing what the photon accelerator does, deactivate it, trapping him in the Aniverse.
The U.S. comic only ran this one plotline; however, to coincide with the TV series in the early '90s, a U.K. comic reprinted the issues, then produced a further fifteen issues written by Peter Stone, and illustrated by Andre Coates and Joel Adams.
In 2007, Vanguard reprinted the original Bucky O'Hare comic and two of the UK issues in a digest size collection, similar to a manga. The book is called Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Menace and is printed in black and white. The deluxe edition was also released. Some copies of the "deluxe" edition, however, were in fact the standard edition with a slipcover, not the signed, numbered color version that was advertised.
In other media[edit]
Cartoon series[edit]
- Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars was a syndicated animated television network show which aired in 1991.
Other appearances[edit]
- In Death Battle: Fox vs. Bucky (2013), Bucky O'Hare is one of the combatants and faces off against the protagonist of Nintendo's Star Fox games Fox McCloud. He loses due to Fox's superior experience as Fox chokes him and shoots his face off with a blaster.
- In the Robot Chicken episode, "Noidstrom Rack" (2014), Bucky O'Hare is seen requesting to land on Moonport 4-5, only to mate and crash the Righteous Indignation.
Video games[edit]
A Bucky O'Hare game was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992, which required Bucky to rescue each of his crew members (except Bruiser, who is not featured in the game) on a series of planets. As each character was rescued, the player gained the ability to switch between them and Bucky on the fly to deal with different problems. Immediately after regaining his entire crew, they are once again captured and imprisoned on the Toad mother ship. Bucky and Blinky, sharing the same cell, break out and must rescue the remaining members. Afterwards, you continue through the monstrous ship. The gameplay and level design very closely resemble that of Capcom's Mega Man series. For this reason, the Bucky O'Hare video game is sometimes referred to as the Konami Mega Man[citation needed].
An arcade game by Konami was also released which allowed players to control Bucky, Jenny, Deadeye or Blinky in a format similar to the arcade games based on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, X-Men, The Simpsons, and Aliens. Perhaps to satisfy fans when a second season was not released, the plot of the arcade game allowed players to achieve final victory over the toads by releasing an energy called the Interplanetary Life Force contained within KOMPLEX. This last hurrah to the series also featured the original voice cast.
Konami also released a Bucky O'Hare handheld electronic game.
Toy line[edit]
In 1991 the toy company Hasbro released a line of action figures based closely on the Bucky O'Hare series. Most of the major characters were represented: Bucky O'Hare, Deadeye Duck, Willy DuWitt, Blinky, Bruiser, and Commander Dogstar were the heroes released, and Toadborg, Air Marshall, Storm Toad Trooper, and Al Negator were the villains that made it to the shelves. Two vehicles were released as well. The good guy vehicle was the Toad Croaker. The bad guy vehicle was the Toad Double Bubble.
For reasons that still remain unclear, the line was terminated before the next two series of action figures could be finished. There are several photographs available online of the unreleased figures, some completely painted with accessories, and others as unpainted prototypes. At least one photo shows the fully packaged Jenny, likely because this figure was completed in time for the first release, but was delayed to be part of the second. Several others show Pitstop Pete and Sly Leezard both as unpainted and as completed figures. Bucky in a spacesuit, Rumble Bee, Kamikaze Kamo, and Total Terror Toad are the other finished figures. The mobile configuration of the chief villain Komplex (Komplex-2-Go in the arcade game), Digger, and Tri-Bot (a minor villain from the final episode) are the other unpainted prototypes known to exist from these photos.
During the 90's, VHS tapes were released by Family Home Entertainment. Due to Sunbow Productions' lack of a US home distributor currently (it was formerly Rhino, then Sony Wonder, which has shut down), the cartoon had been stalled in releasing a Region 1 DVD, a company called Exposure Entertainment was supposed to have released the 13 episodes on DVD in North America, in Region 1 NTSC format for the first time, but the overall release was either very rare and limited, or no set had appeared at all. The same company had a similar issue with their first season release of Biker Mice from Mars. However, it did have a Region 2 PAL DVD release in the UK by Metrodome Distribution, which as of 2013 is now out of print. Hasbro has recently acquired the rights to most of their cartoon library, since the toys were produced by Hasbro, it may be possible for the series to see a DVD release in Region 1 eventually, if Hasbro did acquire the rights to the cartoon and if they can find a distributor for the show.
Comic book artist Neal Adams and Continuity created a short online 3-D cartoon of Bucky O'Hare.[3]
Neal Adams is currently working on a Bucky O'Hare movie project.[4] A graphic novel of "Neal Adams presents Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Menace" was re-released in manga format by Vanguard Press.[5]

Stop Motion Animation Short-PCKTKNFE
PCKTKNFE is a fun stop motion short by friends James Donhour and Robert Kinsella, who spent six months putting together this animated ode to classic video games.
With music clearly influenced by 8-bit game soundtracks, and the clever use of bead sprites as video game characters who escape the console into the real world, PCKTKNFE is fun to watch even if you end up turning off the sound to avoid losing your mind.

The Good
Eclipso finds a new host in Gordon Jacobs. Will he and Gordon be the perfect fit or will Eclipso have to find a new vessel?
The driving force of this book is the ridiculously awesome page layouts. This book is worth the $2.99 just to see how these scenes are set-up. Phillip Tan experiments with these beautiful layouts that are very non-traditional. As soon as Eclipso enters the picture, the world around Gordon is distorted. This is why the reader is treated to things like a splash page with a black diamond border, with a panel in the negative space, of Eclispo walking out of the shadows. The book is filled with some awesomely set-up pages like this. However, this isn't a style of story telling that would work for any book, but it fits perfectly into this Villains Month issue.
Again, on the artistic side of things, artist Philip Tan, inker Jason Paz, and colorist Nathan Eyring do some really interesting things here. It feels like this book was put together by two very different artists where it switches depending on the tone of that particular panel or page. The colors switch from a more traditional style to what seems like water colors. It's a really cool effect that brings some extra emotion to the story.
The Bad
There's a few times, in this issue, where the art is a bit inconsistent. Now, as mentioned earlier, there's two very distinct styles going on here, but that's not the problem. The main character, Gordon Jacobs, face changes a bit in length and width. There's one panel in particular where he gets a case of "horse face," on page four.
The story is ok.The first half of the book, where the reader is introduced to Gordon is a bit dry. This is a case where the art really outshines the story. Eclipso doesn't really feel like a threatening villain because readers haven't seen a lot of him, unless they were reading TEAM 7, SWORD OF SORCERY, DEMONS KNIGHTS, or CATWOMAN, and three of those books are no more. What it really boils down to is that this book wasn't that interesting.
The Verdict
Overall, JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK ECLIPSO was an ok issue. Storywise, it's ok. Gordon isn't the most thrilling character and his backstory was so-so; however, the art here, minus one problematic area, was stellar. The way this team executed these pages was brilliant and it really spiced this issue up. I'm curious to see how Eclipso will work as a Justice League Dark villain, but we'll have to wait and see. Overall, I give this issue a mild recommendation, mainly because these page layouts are incredibly cool.

Great gift. My son and daughter-in-law enjoyed "a" bellini at the famous Harry's Bar in Italy and fell in love with it. Soooo. I was happy to find the perfect Christmas gift for them and they thought so too!
