備受矚目的2009年度財政預算案將在週五（29日）提呈，政府將捎來什麼好消息，升斗小民仍持觀望態度；然而，一個對廣大游子的不利消息將實行，那就是一旦在9月15日後，幾乎所有長途巴士車票都會漲價！
同時，目前已經有兩間長途巴士公司從週三起開始出售巴士車票，這些在9月15日後啟程的車票，車資都已提高30%。

A perfect 16? Doesn’t have same ring as that 10
BEIJING (AP)—Turns out, the perfect 10 wasn’t so perfect.
At least not in the minds of international gymnastics officials.
Four years after a series of scoring errors marred the competition at the Athens Olympics, fans who tune into gymnastics once every four years are in for a big shock Saturday. The perfect 10 is passe. Fifteens, 16s—maybe even a, gasp! 17—are all the rage.
“I hate the new scoring,” said Mary Lou Retton, whose Olympic gold medal came courtesy of a 10 on vault. “The perfect 10, you don’t have to say anything to describe it. The perfect 10, you were perfect.”
Even more than the 6.0 in figure skating, the 10 was gymnastics’ brand. Think of Nadia Comaneci, and you immediately think of that mesmerizing string of seven 10s in Montreal. Somehow, seven 15s doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.
