SPORTS - Return of lockout punctuates wild week in NFL (AP)
NEW YORK – From lockout to injunction to limbo and back to lockout — with a draft thrown in. Not even Super Bowl week gets that wild.
Backed by an appeals court ruling, owners shut their doors once more, with players across the league trying to figure out where they stand — again.
That includes veterans with contracts and free agents. It includes rookies drafted in the first round who took advantage of a small window Friday to

May Day Goes National
On May 1, left-wing vigilantes will target companies across the country that have committed a mortal sin: sending donations to GOP Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin. Rest assured, such intolerable acts of political free speech will not go unpunished by tolerant Big Labor activists.
They’re calling for both a national boycott of Walker’s corporate donors and a coordinated sticker vandalism campaign on GOP-tainted products. The Wisconsin Grocers Association is bracing for the anti-Walker witch hunt. Anonymous operatives have circulated sabotage stickers on the Internet and around Wisconsin that single out Angel Soft tissue paper (“Wiping your (expletive) on Wisconsin workers”), Johnsonville Sausage (“These Brats Bust Unions”) and Coors (“Labor Rights Flow Away Like A Mountain Stream”).
Earlier this week, a “Stick It To Walker” website boasted photos (now deleted) of vandalized Angel Soft tissue packages at a Super Foodtown grocery store in Brooklyn, N.Y. (Screencap above.) This destruction of private property is illegal. Not that it matters to anti-Walker protest mobsters, who trampled Wisconsin’s Capitol at an estimated $5 million in security, repair and cleaning costs to taxpayers.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, “The identity of the backers of the sticker effort is unknown, although many assume it is being orchestrated by public employee unions. This latest effort follows boycotts organized by members of the Wisconsin State Employees Union AFSCME 24.
AFSCME 24 is the same union affiliate that recently disseminated intimidation letters throughout southeast Wisconsin, demanding that local businesses support unions by putting up signs in their windows. The letter threatened not just Walker supporters, but any and all businesses that have chosen to sit on the sidelines and stay out of politics altogether: “Failure to do so will leave us no choice but (to) do a public boycott of your business. And sorry, neutral means ‘no’ to those who work for the largest employer in the area and are union members.” Others on Big Labor’s hit list: Kwik Trip, Sargento Foods Inc. and M&I Bank.

Kate Middleton Suggested Pregnant Soon
Not just British people who rejoice at the marriage between Prince William and Kate Middleton, but also citizens of the world that follows the moment of the media. All come to pray for the eternal marriage and have children soon.
Besides being Prince William who was second heir to the throne, but the 29-year-old Kate is considered ideal for soon to have children, especially if they plan on having more than one child.
Dr.Manny Alvares, head of obstetrics and gynecology department of Hackensack University Medical Center, United States, said the age of 26-33 is the culmination of a woman's fertility.
Above the age of 35 years usually begin to have problems with hormones and ovulation so that the fertility rate will be reduced, he said.

OPINION:
Tony Brown should be Dan Carter's backup in the All Blacks this year.
