I was confused, until I realized that a) the article was dated "8 September", and b) those pesky Europeans fouled up the way we all write dates.
Here in the US of A, this would have been on August 9.

You're all a couple of days late, 8.9.10 means September 8 in Europe where the article originated. If you interpreted it as August 9 you're more than a month late.
