TV and Yiannis

Yiannis Kontoyiannis is an extremely amiable
statistics professor from Purdue.
We went to the gym together, as he was here

TV and IS

These are Tsachy Weissman (to the left,
known as TV) and Ilan Sutzkover

Although he is not known as IS,
it went well with TV.

More TV and IS
(October 2000).

They were talking about some theoretic
problem in turbo decoding. Instead of sleeping
I captured the moment for prosterity.
