P_M95's FML badges
Hard at Work
Voting on an FML from the Work category on a Monday between 8 and 9am, how ironic.
I agree, their lives suck
200 votes confirming that their life is crap. It's what the website is all about.
I moderated this!
In "Moderate the FMLs", you voted Yes on a story that was subsequently published. Well done!
P_M95's favorite FMLs
Today, I found out that my son told my daughter at some point that "real" name for Hershey's Kisses is "blowjobs." I found this out because at kindergarten she was asked what her favorite food was. The teacher wasn't happy when she called me. FML

Republicans to lead Washington Senate
Two Democrats join forces with GOP in surprise move
OLYMPIA – In a move variously described as an exciting opportunity for bipartisanship or a political coup, a pair of Democrats announced Monday they are joining forces with the Senate's 23 Republicans and plan to run the chamber through a bipartisan coalition.
"We want this to be a cooperative arrangement, governing from the middle," said state Sen. Rodney Tom, of Bellevue, one of two Democrats who joined Republicans.
Some remaining Democrats, however, said they were skeptical of the plan, and their members may refuse to appoint chairs or co-chairs. State Sen. David Frockt, D-Seattle, disputed the description of the plan as a bipartisan coalition: "A minority plus two is not really a coalition."
The proposal is made possible by the chamber's close partisan divide: 26 Democrats to 23 Republicans. With Tom and Sen. Tim Sheldon, of Potlach, joining a united bloc of Republicans, the coalition has the needed 25-vote majority.
Under the plan, Tom would be Senate majority leader rather than Seattle Sen. Ed Murray, the leader Democrats picked in their caucus meeting last month. Ritzville Sen. Mark Schoesler would be the Senate Republican leader.
"We want to do something different than the other Washington," Schoesler said, referring to what he called gridlock in the nation's capital. "Committee chairs will represent all of Washington … who will put politics aside."
Murray said in a prepared statement that Democrats are open to discussing a "mutually agreed-on way" for the two parties to work together: "We don't believe the Republicans' take-it-or-leave-it plan offers the best way forward."
If the proposal holds through Jan. 14, the day when the Legislature convenes and members cast procedural votes on leadership, it would be unprecedented in the history of the Washington Senate, and unusual in the United States.
"Across American legislatures today, there's no model like this," said Todd Donovan, a political science professor at Western Washington University.
When a party gains control through a few defections, it generally takes all the leadership positions and chairmanships, Donovan said. What the coalition is proposing more resembles a European parliament with multiple parties forming a working coalition.
The plan could set up a system for bipartisanship and "getting things done," said Travis Ridout, professor of government and public policy at Washington State University. "It could go the other way as well. I can see it going either way."
State GOP Chairman Kirby Wilbur described himself as "beyond excited" at the proposal.
"The courage of these two Democrats means that we can expect a no-new-taxes budget and education reform with Republicans now chairing both the Ways and Means and K-12 committees," Wilbur said in a news release.
His Democratic counterpart, Dwight Pelz, was less thrilled, charging that Tom and Sheldon "turned their backs" on their own party.
"Sen. Tom has instigated this unprecedented coup and joined with Republicans to install himself as Majority Leader out of a desire to further his own personal ambitions," Pelz said in a prepared statement that noted the state party gave Tom $25,000 for his 2010 campaign.
Under the plan, Republicans would lead six committees, Democrats would lead six, and three would have a co-chair from each party. Sen. Linda Evans Parlette, R-Wenatchee, described it as "a power-share rather than a power-grab."
Yet Republicans would control what are arguably the most powerful committees: Ways and Means, which writes the budget, and Early Learning/K-12 Education, which will wrestle with ways to meet a state Supreme Court mandate to improve public schools.
Coalition members would oppose any increase in taxes, even to find the more than $1 billion that could be needed to satisfy the court mandate on schools. Tom said Governor-elect Jay Inslee, a Democrat, campaigned on finding money for education without raising taxes.
An Inslee spokeswoman said the incoming governor is less concerned about who is in charge of the chamber and the committees and more concerned about solving the state's problems.
"Voters expect us to work together to create jobs, balance our budget and improve our schools, and I expect that both Republican and Democratic leaders will work together to get these things done in the 2013 session," Inslee said in a prepared statement.
Democratic members other than Sheldon and Tom will have to meet and discuss the coalition's proposal, Frockt said. The initial reaction was "not great enthusiasm," and Democrats could refuse to appoint chairs or co-chairs to the committees being offered, Frockt said.
But the coalition was not necessarily a recipe for gridlock, he said: "We're going to have to figure out a way to govern."

The Team
It really was a tale of two halves for the Charleston squad. Headlined by the likes of Mason Williams, Tyler Austin, and Gary Sanchez [all of whom will be covered in our Tampa Yankees review], the team just wasn't the same after the trio was promoted, finishing just 34-35 in the second half.
Overall, they finished fourth in team batting average [.268], and fifth in the 14-team league in runs scored [672] and OPS [.727], but were seventh in home runs [85]. On the pitching side they finished fourth in strikeouts [1,117], sixth in ERA [4.22 ERA], and seventh in WHIP ratio [1.40].
The Greatest Depth
Even after losing the likes of Williams, Sanchez, and Austin from their lineup, the team that finished the season still has its greatest collection of prospects on the offensive side.
Top Offensive Prospects
Considering Mason Williams, Gary Sanchez, and Tyler Austin won't qualify for this analysis, the top offensive prospects from the Charleston team this year still offer a ton of upside, highlighted by second baseman Angelo Gumbs.
An injury derailed what was becoming a breakout season for Gumbs, hitting .272 with seven home runs and 26 stolen bases in just 67 games played. Known for his bat though, it was his significant progress defensively that has allowed him to become a dual threat.
Dante Bichette Jr. didn't have the type of statistical year that he wanted, hitting just .248 with a mere three home runs, but he played the entire season as a 19-year old against much older competition. Few scouts worry about his offensive potential long-term so it is too early to get down on his upside.
Shortstop Cito Culver, like Bichette, did not have a great offensive season either. He hit just .215, but just one month older than Bichette despite being in the farm system for a year longer, he did show a big league approach at the plate, drawing a team-high 71 walks this year. Defensively there are no concerns at all, he just needs to impact the baseball a bit more consistently because the plate discipline is a huge plus.
Rob Refsnyder, outfielder now turned second baseman, also falls into the 'better than his stats reveal' category. Drafted just this year, he skipped the short-season leagues entirely and hit a respectable .241 with four home runs and eleven stolen bases in just 46 games played. Should he make a successful defensive transition to second base, he could be an impact offensive player there.
The Biggest 'Sleeper'
Outfielder Ben Gamel hit .306 in Charleston this year with 19 stolen bases and played all three outfield positions extremely well defensively. He hit just two home runs though and how far his power develops going forward will ultimately decide his long-term future, but he can flat-out hit and has the athleticism to be a potential big league bench player already.
Don't forget about second baseman Anderson Feliz either. He missed a ton of time with an array of injuries but the ceiling his huge on both sides of the ball and he had been making some significant progress before getting derailed injury-wise.
The Arms
For a pitching staff that finished the year in the upper-half of the league in every category, they're not exactly very deep with pitching prospects.
Top Pitching Prospects
He pitched in just a few games before being shut down for the rest of the season with a nagging elbow injury, but Jose Campos proved in that brief time that he has the best combination of high upside and safe projection of any hurler on the staff. Sitting an easy 91-94 mph, he showed a big league curveball and even a quality changeup at times.
While the stats don't exactly show it, right-hander Bryan Mitchell offers nearly the same upside. He too sits comfortably 91-94 mph and hits 96 mph nearly every game, and the curveball is a plus big league pitch already. His biggest bugaboos still remain inconsistent fastball command and a changeup that can evade him for long stretches. The upside is enormous though.
Right-handers Corey Black and Nick Goody, both drafted just this year, fill out the remaining legit big league pitching prospects from the staff and both didn't get to Charleston until mid-summer. Black can hit 100 mph and shows a good breaking ball, and Goody is no slouch either, able to hit 97 mph and shows a good slider too.
The Biggest 'Sleeper'
Hands down the biggest 'sleeper' prospect among the pitchers is right-hander Phil Wetherell. The numbers -- 5.97 ERA, 92 hits in 78 1/3 innings -- were a bit brutal. However, the stuff is legit. He too can hit 97 mph, shows a slider with plus potential, and the changeup developed quite well once he got into the starting rotation. At 6-foot-5, he has great size too. For him it's all mechanical and pitching ahead in the count more consistently, but the talent is quite evident.
Not Just Yet
Outfielder Kelvin De Leon and first baseman Reymond Nunez both have big-time power potential, but 21 and 22 years old respectively, neither has been able to get their hitting to the level to make better use of their power. Time is running out for both of them. Catcher Francisco Arcia [23], despite a solid approach at the plate and great defensive abilities behind, is also getting a little long in the tooth.
On the pitching side there are some arms worth keeping an eye on, including left-hander Fred Lewis [90-94 mph, good breaking ball], and right-handers John Brebbia [90-92 mph, decent slider] and Brett Gerritse [above average curveball, good fastball command of an 88-90 mph heater].

NFL draft: Utah State's Maurice Alexander selected by St. Louis Rams in fourth round
Matt Gade, Deseret News
Former Utah State safety Maurice Alexander became the first former Aggie to come off the board at the 2014 NFL draft, being selected by the St. Louis Rams with the 110th overall pick in the fourth round.
The 6-foot-2, 212-pound safety will join a St. Louis team that went 7-9 last season. The last time the Rams drafted an Aggie was wide receiver Kevin Curtis in the 2003 draft.
During his two-year USU career, Alexander had 125 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks and seven pass breakups.
"Cannot argue with the Rams taking a safety, from a need standpoint," Mike Sando wrote on ESPN's live coverage of the draft. "They took one, TJ McDonald, not long ago, but he got hurt. That is one position they really need to solidify. Fortunately for them, they are set up front, and that helps."

Houvenaghel returns to British team just a month after 'vindictive' Olympics snub
Snubbed: Wendy Houvenaghel was left out of Team GB for the Olympics
Wendy Houvenaghel will represent Great Britain at the UCI Road World Championships in Holland on Tuesday, little more than a month after leaving the Olympics distraught.
The 37-year-old from Northern Ireland was not selected for any of the three rides in the women's team pursuit competition, won by Joanna Rowsell, Laura Trott and Dani King, therefore missing out on a gold medal, and labelled the decision 'vindictive'.
Houvenaghel refocused and won the British Championships road time-trial earlier this month before a win in the prestigious Chrono Champenois event in Betheny, France last week confirmed her selection alongside Emma Pooley in Tuesday's 24.3-kilometre time-trial in Limburg.
She was reluctant to discuss the Olympic fall-out and thanked British Cycling's women's road coach Chris Newton for supporting her selection.
'I was pleasantly surprised to get the call to represent Great Britain in the time-trial at these World Championships,' Houvenaghel said.
'I've spent most of the year training for a three-minute team pursuit effort and over the last four weeks I've just applied myself to time-trialling. I'm keen to get racing tomorrow.
'I've just thrown myself into my training the last few weeks and here I am in Valkenburg.
'The time has passed quite quickly since the Games and I've been busy focusing on various races. I haven't been in touch with any of the members of staff.
'I'm just focusing on my own race and that's my priority while I'm out here.'
Comeback: Houvenaghel returns to represent Britain at the UCI Road World Championships this week
Despite her whole focus being on 12 laps of a 250m Siberian pine track, Houvenaghel is confident of springing a surprise in Tuesday's race, which takes place near Maastricht.
'I am optimistic, otherwise I wouldn't be here,' she added.
'I will give it everything I've got and I'll just do my best and see where my performance takes me.
'The course is very rolling and there are a couple of quite steep climbs.
'I am good at climbing; in any of the time-trials where there have been hills I've done very well. That shouldn't pose too much of a problem for me.
'I've done my homework and I'm happy that I can do reasonably well.
'The course suits my strengths as a rider and I'll give it everything I've got.'
Back on the podium: Pooley (right) and Sharon Laws took bronze in the Elite Women's Team Time Trial on Sunday
Pooley won the world title in 2010 and is also aiming to bounce back from Olympic disappointment.
The 29-year-old was in tears after missing out on a podium place in the Hampton Court time-trial on August 1, but the terrain in Holland is more suited to her climbing ability.
'Emma will be really excited about the nature of this course,' Houvenaghel added.
'She's a well-known good climber and I think she is looking forward to the challenge tomorrow as well.'
Pooley has spoken of possibly taking a break from cycling to complete her PhD, while the future for Houvenaghel also remains uncertain.
She plans to spend some time with her family after the World Championships and will assess whether the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 are an option. It is understood the women's team pursuit may be increased to become an event over 4km with four riders.
'I'm keeping my options open at the moment,' Houvenaghel said.
Chris Froome has withdrawn from Wednesday's time-trial at the UCI Road World Championships to focus on Sunday's road race, British Cycling have confirmed.
The World Championships come at the end of a gruelling season for Froome.
The Team Sky rider was Tour de France runner-up behind Bradley Wiggins in July, won Olympic time-trial bronze behind his compatriot and was fourth in the Vuelta a Espana, which finished on September 9.
The 27-year-old wants more time to recover ahead of Sunday's 261-kilometre road race in Limburg, Holland, when Mark Cavendish will ride in defence of his title.
Froome's non-participation means Alex Dowsett is Britain's sole entrant in the 45.7km elite men's time-trial on Wednesday.

Cowboys split pair with Howard Payne
BROWNWOOD, Texas - Hardin-Simmons' baseball team split an American Southwest Conference doubleheader with Howard Payne, winning 9-3 in the first game before falling 6-1 in the nightcap on Saturday at Don Sheppard Park in Brownwood.
Game 1
Brandon Bollinger tossed a complete game and Brandon Walker and Will Wise drove in three runs each to give HSU a 9-3 win and clinch the three-game series.
Bollinger allowed three runs with two outs in the first, but was in control the rest of the way. He did not allow another run and struck out eight to improve to 3-3 on the year. He allowed six hits in the complete-game win. Jacob Spivey took the loss for HPU allowing eight runs on eight hits in four and two-third innings.
HSU scored twice in the first on an RBI single by Colson Craddick and an RBI double by Walker. HPU scored three times in the first on a Dustin DeJohn two-run single and a Connor Roberts RBI single.
The Cowboys added a sacrifice fly by Zack de Luna and a RBI single by Wise in the fourth to regain the lead 4-3. HSU added four runs in the fifth on two-run singles by Walker and Wise. De Luna scored a run in the seventh on an HPU error.
Craddick, Walker and Wise had two hits each for HSU and DeJohn had two for HPU.
Game 2
In the second game, Matthew Parks tossed a complete-game three-hitter for Howard Payne to improve to 5-1. He allowed an unearned run and struck out six.
HSU scored an unearned run in the first inning on an RBI single by Walker. Howard Payne answered with RBI singles by Matthew Daniel and Kyle Kulczyk. The Yellowjackets took control in the third on a three-run triple by Jake Sadler. HPU scored another run in the sixth on a Joshua Martinez RBI single.
Freshman Kyle Barnett, who was starting his first career game, allowed four runs on six hits in two and one-third innings to take the loss. Jeremy Hallmark, Matt Rhodes and Blake Northrop all worked in relief for the Cowboys.
Sadler had two hits and three RBIs to pace HPU. Vause, Walker and de Luna had the three HSU hits.
HSU is now 9-10 on the year and 6-9 in ASC play. Howard Payne is 9-11 and also 6-8 in conference action. The Cowboys will host Texas-Tyler next weekend in its next action.

Apple passes Nokia, now most profitable handset maker
Apple has passed Nokia to become the world's most profitable handset manufacturer, according to the latest research from Strategy Analytics. In the third quarter of 2009, Strategy Analytics estimates Apple's operating profit for its iPhone handset division to be $1.6 billion, with Nokia reaching only $1.1 billion of operating profit over the same time period. Alex Spektor, Analyst at Strategy Analytics, said, "With strong volumes, high wholesale prices and tight cost controls, the PC vendor has successfully broken into the mobile phone market in just two years." Neil Mawston, director of the Wireless Device Strategies service at Strategy Analytics, believes that Nokia must do better in the U.S. market if it wishes to recover, adding, "A successful fight on Apple's high-profit home turf can simultaneously help to revitalize Nokia's margins and to put a check on Apple's surging growth."

Foreign Minister Murray McCully, confirming New Zealand's support for a United Nations resolution recognising a Palestinian state, said this reflected the Government's long-standing belief that Israel should exist side by side with a Palestinian state, each respecting the other's right to peace.
It is a fair and well-balanced position: We recognise Israel's right to safety and security and condemn the recent actions of Hamas extremists. We support the moderate leadership of President Mahmoud Abbas, Prime Minister Salam Fayyad and others committed to a two-state solution to the Palestinian issue. We believe the Israeli Government and the Palestinian Authority should talk directly with each other and negotiate terms to arrive at that solution.
The UN resolution - passed 138-9, with 41 abstentions - upgrades the Palestinians' status from observer to non-member observer state and gives them access to UN agencies and international bodies, including the International Criminal Court.
But statehood is a distant aspiration. The Palestinians have no control over their borders, airspace or trade; they have rival governments in Gaza and the West Bank; they have no unified army or police. The Israelis control the West Bank, east Jerusalem and access to Gaza.
Peace talks have been stalled for two years and Israeli leaders are in no mood to revive them. In churlish defiance of the UN vote, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the construction of thousands of new homes in Jewish settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. He has also ordered the hastening of plans that would cut deep into a future Palestinian state based on 1967 borders, ignoring United States and European requests not to build there.
There are disappointing signs the US Congress might take retaliatory action, too, with three separate initiatives in response to the UN vote aimed at ending funding to the Palestinian Authority and to any UN agency the Palestinians join as a consequence of their upgrade.
Our government is frustrated, as Mr McCully said, "that two leaders who live half an hour up the road from each other cannot meet to resolve these matters directly". The vote we supported has given Palestinians a moral and symbolic boost but Israeli and US responses could leave them worse off than before.

It's Egenera's first PAN partnership since the American company said last week that it was setting up a software line of business around PAN and would move the software out through fellow OEMs.
Fujitsu Siemens says the widgetry will form part of its FlexFrame Infrastructure, its latest milestone in its Dynamic Data Center strategy of creating business-responsive IT using the latest virtualization and automation technologies.
While they were at it, the pair announced a three-year extension to their OEM arrangement. Fujitsu Siemens sells BladeFrames in EMEA, claiming wins in 20 countries over the last two years.
The extended deal includes joint development components like the integration of PAN with Fujitsu Siemens' ServerView Suite and its Primergy BX600 blade server as part of its FlexFrame Infrastructure line.
FlexFrame Infrastructure is supposed to be an application-agnostic service-oriented infrastructure.
While VMware virtualizes individual servers, PAN virtualizes the data center, creating networks of virtual and physical servers, and can move individual servers, groups of servers or entire systems from one place to another seamlessly and securely with verifiable disaster recovery and uptime, qualifying for what IDC calls Virtualization 2.0.
|Egenera News Desk 11/09/07 12:35:07 PM EST
Egenera, which claims it's the archetype Virtualization 2.0 company to VMware's Virtualization 1.0 - and is going put its PAN Manager software on other people's hardware to prove it - has convinced Fujitsu Siemens, which OEMs Egenera's BladeFrame servers, to put PAN on its own industry-standard Primergy servers. It's Egenera's first PAN partnership since the American company said last week that it was setting up a software line of business around PAN and would move the software out through fellow OEMs. Fujitsu Siemens says the widgetry will form part of its FlexFrame Infrastructure, its latest milestone in its Dynamic Data Center strategy of creating business-responsive IT using the latest virtualization and automation technologies.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

"When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper which should have been gold, are a token of honor -- your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money." ~ Ayn Rand

One Response to Sheetrock or Plywood Walls With Shapes Cut Out
Susan Dworski 10.09.2014 at 12:55pm #
Love the holes in walls! It reminds me of the time we rebuilt our house after it burned down. Although I had worked with the young architect (who was using the project as his master's thesis) from the initial planning phase, once we had the interior walls sheet rocked I realized that something wasn't working. It felt claustrophobic. We didn't have enough breathing space.
So, the two of us walked through the unfinished house, chalk in hand, and scratched out places in the walls where more air and vista and connection between rooms was needed. Depending on the layout of the studs (electrical was not pulled yet) he took a Sawzall and simply cut holes – big and small, narrow and square – which we later trimmed out and sheet rocked.
Bingo! A whole new house emerged.
New bones. Radical structure, filled with surprises. Who knew?
So much for the best laid plans.

1. Save 10% of what you earn
2. Don't get involved in investments that you do not understand or don't invest in someone else' idea unless it is in the area of their expertise
3. Don't gamble or get involved with quick rich campaigns
4. Focus your energies on improving what you do so that you can increase your earnings
5. Be true to your word - pay back debts and build relationships
6. Invest wisely - mainly invest in your area of expertise or with a good friend in his or her area of expertise
7. Be decisive - don't take too much time in deciding an investment is right. If you wait too long, the opportunity may be gone. This is a fine line because you don't want to rush in either.
8. Invest in yourself so that you can improve your skills in the future
9. Be a person of action - luck comes along with hard work
10. Have a strong determination that you will succeed.
The book was a very quick read - I read it in about hour or so. Much of it was a bit repetitive - I guess it helps to ensure that you got the points. Honestly, I thought I would get a lot more out of this book. I already knew of most of ideas, and in the places where I could use some help like being decisive it did not give me suggestions to improve in that area. I guess it will just take some more practice on my part. I would suggest stopping by your local library to pick up this book. If you like it enough, go out and get it and add to your collection.
Clason's wisdom is encapsulated in seven lessons: start thy purse to fattening; control thy expenditures; make thy gold multiply; guard thy treasures from loss; make thy dwelling a profitable investment; insure a future income; and increase thy ability to earn. Each lesson is covered through anecdotes and parables, and the book's short length makes it an easy read over one or two sittings. Others have provided similar guidance over the years, perhaps none so well as Canadian author David Chilton with his "The Wealthy Barber: The Common Sense Guide to Successful Financial Planning" book. Chilton covers a broader range of topics (e.g. life insurance) over more pages and in a more contemporary fashion, but his basic message is still the same.Read more ›
This is truly my favorite book on how to handle money in your life! Clason uses the language of the King James Version of the Bible (although this book is not at all biblical) to create anecdotes set in ancient Babylon that tell you (the modern-day reader) how to handle your money. The amazing thing is that the advice is not at all outdated. It's right on the mark and shows money knowledge that hardly is taught in school. It's easy to read and understand and highly entertaining. In fact, one of its stories, "The Luckiest Man in Babylon" is almost enough to bring you to tears.
It is shown in this book that when you are in debt, you are a slave to what it is that you agreed to go into debt for and you must pay it off to regain your freedom (are you a five-year slave to a car [or the institution that financed it] like I was?). Look at the state of the nation's economy and you'll see we live in a nation of slaves.
That's why you must get the reverse into action; make money a slave that is working for you.
Many people have heard the popular phrase from this book, "pay yourself first." I highly suggest you read this book first so you can see how you should go about paying yourself first; there is a method to it.
This book is truly a classic and should be required reading for all classes on money or for anyone going into business for oneself. If you're getting into Network Marketing then you've really got to read this book.

I visited a bit the other day with Jelena Jankovic, who has been working out these days at her spiritual home, the IMG Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy. Out of curiosity, I asked if she'd watched the ATP World Tour Finals.
"I did," she said. "I wanted to see how the men finish the year, and it looked to me like it was just like the women; they looked tired, and the round robin is always kind of strange. We're not used to winning a tournament after we lost in it, so when you have that, crazy things happen."
In other words, don't give the benefit of the doubt so quickly to the player who emerges as champion from the smoking ruins of another year-end round-robin battle. Whatever handwriting appears on the wall might be written in disappearing ink that will vanish by the time the first Grand Slam of the new year is played.
Still, Nikolay Davydenko's triumph in London might be more than a tribute to the little Russian's durability, determination and opportunism ... or the wacky nature of round-robin events. And the way Rafael Nadal disappeared, Roger Federer struggled every step of the way and Novak Djokovic ran out of gas -- while Juan Martin del Potro more or less duck-walked into the final -- added to the growing feeling that 2010 might be a year of transition.
To put this in perspective, consider that fewer than 11 months ago, men's tennis was still all about the Federer-Nadal rivalry; there seemed no end to it in sight. Nadal had just upped the ante by winning the Australian Open, which meant another routinely brilliant performance at Roland Garros would set up any of a number of related storylines: Could Roger Federer stop a Rafa calendar-year Grand Slam? Would Federer recapture his lost mojo with a typical mid-to-end-of-the-year push at the two tournaments where he fares best, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open? Would either or both men complete a career Grand Slam in 2009?
Only one of those narratives matured and came to fruition: Federer, surprisingly, completed his career Slam at the French Open after Nadal was upset by Robin Soderling in the fourth round. And by the time del Potro halted Federer's U.S. Open streak, the tennis landscape had been utterly transformed.
If you had to pick a moment when the game as we've come to know it exploded, it would be the upset of Nadal in Paris. It was no routine sensational upset, either, for it sent Nadal into a long hiatus to address his growing problem with knee tendinitis and enabled Federer to win that long-deferred first French Open title. And suddenly, the Roger-Rafa 24/7 rivalry ground to a halt.
But it turned out Federer wasn't able to satisfy the expectation that, absent Nadal, he would ride herd on the game. The idea that he would return to dominating form died at the U.S. Open. And by the end of the World Tour Finals, it was clear that Federer, like Nadal, was inhabiting a different, unfamiliar world, one full of struggles with focus and, perhaps, motivation, as well as young guns (Djokovic, del Potro and Soderling among them) and grizzled veterans (like Davydenko) eager to take anything the two icons wouldn't or couldn't grab.
As crazy as the WTF seemed, keep in mind there was no real reason for Federer to plead fatigue; he hardly played after the U.S. Open. Nadal, who benefited from a far smaller workload in '09, did not play like a well-rested contender hungry to take the fifth-most prestigious prize in men's tennis.
This year's WTF was a classic, in terms of chaos and the surprises those events generate. But explaining it away by saying the top players were worn out and hard-put to find motivation just isn't accurate.
We don't know what 2010 will be all about, but I'm pretty sure that for the first time in many years, it's not going to be about the Federer-Nadal rivalry.
