NHL Lockout Has Begun

The latest sports lockout began at midnight EDT, Sunday morning.

Hockey is now in it's fourth lockout, since 1992, joining the NBA and NFL in holding lockouts within the last eighteen months.

Owners wish to reduce the amount of shared revenue that the players get, whilst the player's union is seeking to ensure that they maintain the same amount.

Currently players receive fifty-seven percent, and the owners had tried to cut it to forty-three percent, last word was the owners had come back up to forty-seven percent.

Training camps are supposed to open next week, but that now seems highly unlikely.

The season opening of October 11, could easily be in jeopardy due to the lockout.

In 2004-05, a NHL lockout was responsible for the entire season being cancelled.

Tens of Thousands March Against Putin

Tens of thousands massed and marched in an anti Putin rally, in Moscow, on Saturday. It was the first major rally after a mostly quiet summer, which had followed a spring that saw hundreds of thousands march even through freezing temperatures.

The summer was taken up with the drama of a previously little known band and their arrest for a dramatic anti Putin protest. They were eventually sentenced to two years in prison for the act.

Many in Russia, and especially in Moscow, believe that Putin only gained his third term, through fraudulent means. With some districts showing 104% voting for Putin, it's hard not to believe there was at least some messing with ballots.
