Opinion: Both sides are wrong in NHL labour dispute

Since the last NHL lockout, league revenues have steadily grown at 7 percent per year, to about $3.3 billion. Aubrey Kent, associate professor of sport management at Temple's School of Tourism and Hospitality Management and founding director of the Sport Industry Research Center, writes that the current lockout is hindering this growth. "If you aren’t sure where you stand on this issue, consider that the real sadness of this situation is that the NHL has never been healthier as a business," he wrote.

Japan to set course for December 16 election and seventh PM in six years

Japan is set to dissolve parliament's lower house for a December 16 election that is likely to return the long-dominant Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) to power with a conservative former prime minister at the helm. "They will probably have the same problems of a revolving door at the top and a weak government that finds initiating tough reforms difficult and is tempted to enjoy nationalist grandstanding," said Jeffrey Kingston, director of Asian studies at Temple University's Japan campus.
