Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

True. But I want more of them NOW. And I want them both on the Wheaties box, unrelatedly. Nastia is fantastic, but I love Shawn too. She's just adorable. I can actually see how much she just loves gymnastics, and I find it incredibly endearing. But the event finals tomorrow are at 6:00, I think, so unlikely to see them live. And I won't be home until 8:30.

I realize my problems are world-ending.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Pretty much earth shattering, yes.

I'm still missing the Hamm twins.

No, wait - now to deal with a bit more bureaucracy.

I miss the Hamms too! Paul is super exciting to watch. Also, I saw them during one of those tour of champions things, and if they ever add in a category of synchronized tumbling, those two would kill it. They blew everyone away with their synch skills. I suppose the twin thing probably came in handy there.

Good luck, Nilly!

Does anybody have an idea if there's a way to copy-and-paste stuff from a pdf file, or do I have to write the table-of-contents and the abstract, which they want in a separate file, from scratch?

The abstract is no problem, of course, but the ToC is something that my latex template created, so copying it manually will take quite some time.

[Edit: OK, I think I found some option. Nebermind.]

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Yay Nilly! Just a little bit more, and it's all behind you!

About the copy paste: usually, and I don't know if it has anything to do with me using Firefox, I can copy-paste from PDF (unless they're protected).

So I guess I can't help much. Humm.

Does anybody know a lot about those suits that the swimmers wear? What's the advantage of wearing the pants over the bodysuit? I get the sense that the bodysuit is probably uncomfortable (or all the male swimmers are huge exhibitionists. Possibly both.), but I'd imagine it's probably a bit more streamlined than the pants. So what's the advantage to the pants? Why do they sometimes choose one over the other?
