Barcelona wins Champions League final

Samuel Eto'o and Juliano Belletti scored in the final 15 minutes to lead Barcelona past Arsenal 2-1 Wednesday night in the final of the European Champions League. Barcelona played with a man-advantage after Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann was ejected in the 20th minute for taking down Eto'o just outside the penalty area.

Arsenal had gone a Champions League-record 10 consecutive games without allowing a goal. Eto'o, a Cameroon star who has won Africa's player of the year award for three straight years, ended the streak in the 76th minute, taking a through ball from Henrik Larsson and beating backup goalkeeper Manuel Almunia.

Belletti, a defender, got the go-ahead goal four minutes later, taking a pass from Larsson and sending a low cross in front that went into the net off Almunia.

Wed

I am back in NY, kind of stressful last couple of days, but fine. All sorts of flight cancellations and delays because of the weather (rain, fog, etc.) Things went fairly well. I didn't have time to stop by the office and say hi to people, I was too rushed. I will next time.

Got an email from Hans, they are moving into a new house because he felt "squeezed" into their current 2,500 sqft house

Had a bit of trouble backing up Memoirs of a Geisha, I had to use a PSL2 (protected sector list) file. Ultimately succeeded.
