Poke! Grand Slam Sam win at US Open Final; More bones found; Changing migration law (12th September 2011)

Samantha Stosur beat all others in US Tennis Open Final [Courier Mail]

Congratulations to Australians! Today marks the day for Samantha Stosur, who has claimed the position as Australia's first female grand slam singles champion for 31 years. Australia was once the home of world's best tennis players, but other countries like the UK and US has kept their pace up and taken numerous positions of top players in the world. But now Samantha has beaten the nervous and inappropriate Serena Williams in the one hour match. Having a new star rising up in the world of tennis, I believe more kids will see her as an aspiration, and in the future hopefully, we will once again be the home of the world's best tennis players.

Brief: More bones were found at Daniel's site [Courier Mail]
Just to do a news update on Daniel's case. Today, another pile of bones were found at Beerwah, where the volunteers are digging around and collect more evidence to support the charge to the 41-year-old man. Earlier, the Morcombe couple went on a campaign tour across Queensland to give messages to children about safety awareness and protection.

Commentary: Canberra braces for Julia's D-Day [Courier Mail]
Since I am not familiar with the situation about the news around asylum seekers and the reason why people are discussing about this issue so furiously, I took a read on the backgrounds of the story. Although it is brief, but I believe as a foreigner, I realised the issue wasn't only appeared recently, but it was a problem since the John Howard era, the former Prime Minister ten years ago. I think I still have to dig in some more to really understand what's going on in Canberra.
