但是，皇马的英雄们没有放弃，当比赛进入伤停补时时，皇马凭借不懈的努力扳平了比分；而上帝似乎也在玩弄巴萨，西班牙人队长Tamudo同时也让Camp Nou静如死水。两场2:2的结果让皇马重新把冠军奖杯从巴萨手中拉了回来。忘记一切吧，皇马本赛季后半程的表现配得上世界上任何一个冠军奖杯。下周，让Bernabeu享受夺冠的快乐，让所有人去Cibeles庆祝!

Magical Stuff
赛前西班牙媒体算出了皇马本轮夺冠的概率为7.4%，但当比赛进行到第九十分钟，Romareda的记分牌显示为皇马1:2落后萨拉戈萨,Camp Nou的记分牌显示为巴萨2:1领先西班牙人，似乎冠军已经慢慢离皇马远去。如果就这样结束，皇马可以找到很多可以抱怨的东西，比如马竞主场不知廉耻的0:6放水给巴萨，比如巴萨本轮比赛由小矮人用手打进了扳平一球，这些都让皇马的夺冠之路充满艰辛。

Madridistas to get something to sing about
It comes from an article on Reuters' soccer blog.
While England belt out “God Save the Queen” before their matches, and France link arms for an emotional chorus of the “Marseillaise”, “la Furia Roja” hum or “tra, la, la,…” along to the wordless Spanish anthem.* Well, everyone except Luis Aragones who sings along with his own mysterious lyrics.
There is same problem in Bernabeu stadium. No songs are sung during the matches. Or
even a few fans are singing, it doesn't sound encouraging (some guys are drumming and singing "ah ~ ah^ ah$#%@*"). People only cheer over goals or victory, which make the players feel less powerful than in England or Germany. What we need should be clear and louder, boiling, martial, or just like "illa, illa, illa, Juanito maravilla!" in the 7th minute. The problem may come from the Spanish language itself... So is Chinese.
PS: The British national anthem has the same tune as that of Liechtenstein, which caused confusion when the two sides met in qualification for Euro 2004. One observer quipped that the supporters were dismayed because they did not know which one to boo. ;-)

1st Day in BT
来自六个地方，六个公司的六个人组成了这个新的机构。
第一天的感觉是完全不同的，不同于以前的SI，也不同于HSBC，这里的感觉既有SI的人人平等，又有HSBC的正规大气，而且多了灵活，乐趣；此外做为第一批员工的一员，对将来也可以充满憧憬。自己工作起来有了积极性，自信也更多了。
或许是我比较乐观，或许是我比较容易接受新事物，在BT的第一天感觉很好。接下来两个月是两只美国大牛的培训以及on-the-job training，希望自己快点变得更强。

Smoke and Mirrors
Reports from Lightreading.com, Avaya Inc. (NYSE: AV) is close to a deal to be sold next week, for more than $9 billion or $20 per share. The report said two bidders are actively pursing the company, strategic buyer Nortel (NYSE: NT) and financial buyer Silver Lake Partners. Link
这是Nortel玩的又一次把戏么?至少很多专家分析是的。
首先Avaya的产品线和Nortel并没有大的互补:在企业网方面，从PBX到IP电话，Avaya有的东西Nortel基本都有，只是Avaya的VOIP应该比Nortel更成熟一些；而在电信核心网方面，Avaya根本没有相关的产品。
其次传言中的Avaya收购价钱非常高，在Cisco主宰的企业网络市场，Norvaya真的能1+1>2么?
我能想到的对Nortel有利的地方就是收购可以借助Avaya来提高其所提供的服务质量，因为Nortel的服务真的是太差了，不过据说Nortel认为占据Avaya收入一半以上的服务业务"may not be sustainable over the long-term"...搞笑吧。
Nortel那边在搞PBT，大张旗鼓的四处做广告，号称要取代MPLS，抢占SP core network市场；这边又突然扯出要收购enterprise network市场中做的比自己还好的Avaya。看来是两手都要抓，两手都要硬。不如少玩点marketing的伎俩，少搞几次高层/strategy更替，吸取以前的教训，干脆把Nortel一分为二，变成两个小公司，0.5+0.5应该会>1。
