Serena Williams kicks ass
Serena Williams demolished top seed Maria Sharapova in a one-sided final to win her third Australian Open and eighth Grand Slam title on Saturday.
The unseeded American's speed and power overwhelmed Sharapova 6-1 6-2 in one hour two minutes.
Victory caps a remarkable comeback for Williams, who slipped to 81 in the rankings after a serious knee injury.
The 25-year-old will move up to 14 in the world next week, while Sharapova will regain the number one spot.
US man in 1964 race attack charge
A former Ku Klux Klan member has been charged with kidnapping and conspiracy in connection with the 1964 murders of two black teenagers in Mississippi.
James Seale, a 71-year-old former sheriff's deputy, denies the charges.
The dead men, Charles Eddie Moore and Henry Hezekiah Dee, were long thought to have been abducted by the white supremacist group while hitchhiking.
The beaten and decomposed bodies of the two 19-year-olds were found in the Mississippi River two months later.
Mr Seale, who was arrested on Wednesday, appeared in court in Jackson, Mississippi, charged with two counts of kidnapping and one count of conspiracy to commit kidnapping.

Channel 4 Bosses Hit By New Race Row
Channel 4 has been landed in more hot water after a contestant on a reality show called for the return of slavery. Public schoolgirl Lucy Buchanan said black people were "really bad" during the opening episode of Shipwrecked.
The 18-year-old from Edinburgh said: "Britain is a complete mess. I just don't appreciate people coming into our country and taking over our culture.
"We've got way too many cultures. Britain's not really Britain any more.
"I'm for the British Empire and
things. I'm for slavery, but that's never going to come back."
In an outburst aired on Sunday evening, Lucy also attacked fat people and criticised gays.
She said: "They're offensive. They can help it - eat less, exercise more, get their stomachs stitched."
Media watchdog Ofcom said it had received 500 complaints about racism on the show and expected that number to rise further.
