Rome has their final war : Battle of Actium
Octavian's forces against Mark Antony's and Cleopatra's forces. It was fought on the Ionian Sea. It was fought between Romans and other Romans. Cleopatra and her troops left the battle and Antony followed leaving his troops behind, which helped Octavian win the battle.

M$Indonesia is literally shaken by a 7.4 strong earthquake 242 km (150 miles) from the capital, Jakarta.
The earthquake has lead to a tsunami alert, for all areas of the Indian Ocean.
So far, there are no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
I claimed Mahalo page Indonesia to add the news item, and to bring twitter to the top of the page.

Updated. Death toll now 46..
Sadly, I've had to update the status of this news. There are now six deaths counted. Luckily, the tsunami warning is lifted.
Good thing there are no reports of injuries, but your right it is breaking news, the Mahalo News Network lives.

I wonder when they started calling it the ATM "machine". It makes no sense to call it the Automated Teller Machine machine. Excuse me, it's late here.
Changed.
The idea of this topic is that you come up with new items, that haven't been mentioned before.. Both Great Fire and indonesian Earthquake have been addressed already. Maybe you can find something else that has a link to September 2? Please try again...

September 2, 2009
By Richard Barrington | Money-Rates Columnist
"A generation of depositors is currently seeing the lowest bank rates of their lives on CDs, savings, and money market accounts. As those rates approach zero, the natural assumption is that things can’t get much worse. Or can’t it?
It may be a little mind-bending to think about negative interest rates, but the concept does exist. The Swedish central bank recently pushed its deposit rate into negative territory, and a Financial Times columnist suggested that more central bankers should include negative interest rates in their bag of tricks.
Why would anyone sign up for a negative interest rate? Two reasons. One, if deflation persists — or steepens – a slightly negative interest rate can still represent an increase in purchasing power. Two, there is a cost to storing money and (especially) keeping it secure. Theoretically, having that done by a bank or other institution could be cheaper than doing it yourself, even if it meant essentially paying for it via a negative interest rate. Therefore, in a situation where both conditions existed, one could conceivably opt for a negative interest rate."
Negative interest rates, now that is a first! How about that for a winning entry into this contest. Do I get the prize again, Jeff? The actual effective date for the change, however, may have been earlier, but I thought it was the leading news story for today. I cannot even get into the Riksbank server, its so busy! I posted the red server busy message that I got. And the attached video was also posted today.
Oops, after posting, I notice you already chose an answer. I live in Hawaii, and it is still September 2nd, as I post. I know you are probably in bed, but it is only 10 PM here. September 2nd is not completely finished around the whole world, yet! And check the previous post only a few hours before mine. I bet his calendar still says September 2nd, 2009.

Nice... maybe not the most significant :P But super bonus points for sharing an update you made on one of your pages. I've got image here to help make your citations look standard.
Thank you so much Jeff. I had a feeling it was wrong and I was researching when I realized that you updated it for me. I appreciate that so much and now this will help me with my other pages in the future, Thanks again! -Amanda
