NHL Season More Than Half-Canceled as League Axes More Games

With the labor dispute between the NHL and the NHL Players' Association still ongoing, the hockey season is now more than half on ice.

The NHL has now canceled all of the regular games of the 2012-13 season up until Jan. 14. That makes a total of 625 regular-game cancelations so far this season -- or 50.8 percent of the games that were scheduled to take place since the would-be start of the season on Oct. 11.

The league earlier canceled the NHL All-Star Weekend, which was scheduled for Jan 26-27 in Columbus, Ohio.

Sounds like the Zambonis will be staying in the garage for a little while longer.

Somalia wants to terminate the UN political mission assisting peace efforts in the country
Somalia is asking the United Nations to terminate its political mission in the country, which has been assisting the government to bring peace and stability in the face of attacks by the al-Qaida-linked extremist group al-Shabab. In a letter to the Security Council and Secretary-General Antonio Guterres obtained Friday by The Associated Press, Somali Foreign Minister Ahmed Moalim Fiqi said the decision followed “a thorough consideration of our strategic priorities.” The current mandate of the mission, known as UNSOM, expires Oct. 31 and Fiqi asked for “the swift conclusion of the necessary procedures for the termination of the mission by the end of the mandate.”

WWII soldiers posthumously receive Purple Heart medals 79 years after fatal plane crash
The families of five Hawaii men who served in a unit of Japanese-language linguists during World War II received posthumous Purple Heart medals on behalf of their loved ones on Friday, nearly eight decades after the soldiers died in a plane crash in the final days of the conflict. The older Ikemoto was among 31 men killed when their C-46 transport plane hit a cliff while attempting to land in Okinawa, Japan, on Aug. 13, 1945. Army records indicate only two of the 31 ever received Purple Heart medals, which the military awards to those wounded or killed during action against an enemy.
