Last Sunday, more than 40,000 people participated in the 2012 Blue Cross Broad Street Run. I was not one of them (I don't even have the discipline to stay off of Facebook for 30 minutes let alone train for a 10-mile, point-to-point course).
Getting an Oconto Blue Devils, Brillion Lions or Seymour Thunder T-shirt just got a whole lot easier.

On May 1, 2012, several rallies and protests occurred in Los Angeles to recognize the contributions workers are making to the country and to protest for better working conditions, fair pay and immigration reform.
American Apparel, which has long advocated for comprehensive immigration reform and criticized the apartheid-like treatment of undocumented workers, closed its factory for several hours May 1 so its workers could join the march and related pro-worker activities.
