MADRID (Reuters) - The Spanish media have proclaimed Rafael Nadal the best player in the world after his epic final victory over Roger Federer at Wimbledon. The 22-year-old became the first Spaniard to take the men's single crown since Manolo Santana's 1966 achievement, eventually overpowering his Swiss rival 6-4 6-4 6-7 6-7 9-7 after a punishing four hours and 48 minutes on Sunday. "It doesn't matter what the ATP say, Rafa you are the number one," the front page of sports daily Marca said on Monday. "'Rocky' Nadal beat Federer in the match of the century."

Our energy sources, they are a changin'. With apologies to Bob Dylan, it's absolutely true. Alternative ideas abound from solar to biomass to nuclear to wind and more. But which is best for the environment AND the most practical? Earlier this week, the CBS Evening News featured a story about solar options, Katie Couric did an interview with tycoon T. Boone Pickens about his porposed wind "farm," and tonight on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric I'll have a story about some of the hidden complications and promises with wind power. We traveled to the town of Sweetwater, TX, and even climbed up inside a massive wind turbine to see firsthand what's happening in that state -- now the country's biggest user/generator of wind energy.
