Can you erase your online blunders? Not if you’re, say, Anthony Weiner, but for the rest of us a little preemptive housecleaning goes a long way. The Seattle Times sets out some easy steps: Start by erasing anything embarrassing from Twitter.

Organizers of London Games are trying a new approach to gender testing, reports the LA Times this morning.

Vancouver, by comparison, had two cauldrons, one of which was open to the public.

Ariel Hsing’s two BFFs are named Warren and Bill. Last names? Buffett and Gates. The 16-year-old ping-pong prodigy, who’s competing in the London Games, met Gates when he invited her to a birthday party he was throwing for Buffett. Both men are ping-pong enthusiasts. And Hsing clobbered both of them—she was 9 at the time. Says Gates: “I’ve never won a point off her that she didn’t let me win. And I have an illegal serve.”
