Adrian Mutu wants to adopt baby from the sewage pipe in China
May 30, 2013, 11:03 AM EDT
Adrian Mutu has always lived a wild life.
Now the striker wants to take the next step in that journey and adopt 'Baby 59′, who was rescued yesterday after being wedged in a sewage pipe in China.
The newborn boy, who is 5 pounds and known simply as 'Baby 59′, was found in a pipe beneath a shared bathroom in Jinhua, China. The baby's story quickly spread as emergency responders used pliers and saws to open up the 10cm diameter pipe. Amazingly, the baby is in stable condition after suffering a decreased heart rate, cuts and bruising.
And today, a new hero potentially has emerged in Baby 59's life: Adrian Mutu. The Romanian international and current AC Ajaccio striker told Romanian channel ProTV: "I intend to adopt this baby."
Mutu continued:
"I couldn't figure out how to carry on living, how to eat my breakfast when I saw this story on TV. He's a special child. When I saw the baby I said 'I must adopt him, he has been sent to me by God.'
"Just look at this poor little fellow. He made such a strong impression on me. I told my wife we have to help him, we have to do everything we can.
"I never thought I would adopt a baby, I had no plan concerning that, but I just know: I have to help this one."
Mutu, a father of three, claims he's discussed the plan with his wife, Consuelo, and she's on board. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to strike a legal agreement as Romania is not currently on the list of 17 countries whose citizens can adopt from China.
Mutu may also encounter some resistance from Chinese authorities due to his somewhat checkered past.
In 2004 the striker, who Chelsea had signed just one year prior for £15.8m, was fired after testing positive for cocaine. After serving a seven-month ban Mutu rebuilt his career in Italy before failing another drug test in 2010, this time testing positive for sibutramina, a stimulant that counters hunger.
With a little bit of Googling, one can easily find plenty of other Mutu-related stories guaranteed to entertain. And while none of them suggest poor parenting skills per se, we're going to venture a guess that you won't be seeing Mutu as Baby Daddy 59 anytime soon.

Music: Kyuss
The Stoner Metal band.What, you want more than that? OK. Kyuss were a highly influential American stoner rocknote band from Palm Desert, California. They were the pioneers of their genre (stoner metal/rock), which is vaguely a subgenre of Doom Metal but often has very little to do with doom. Its characteristics include heavily detuned guitars, low-end-heavy sound (Josh Homme would plug his guitar into a bass amp for this very reason), massive Black Sabbath influence, hallucinogenic themes and an overall insanely deep and heavy sound.However, they didn't have nearly as much commercial success or recognition as Queens of the Stone Age, a band you've probably heard of that is fronted by Josh Homme, former guitarist for Kyuss.They formed in 1987 as Sons of Kyuss, and released an EP under that name in 1990 before shortening their name to "Kyuss". (Kyuss is an evil demigod of worms and corruption from the Dungeons & Dragons game, and Son of Kyuss was an undead monster described in the 1st Edition D&D Fiend Folio.) Over the next few years, the band released four full-length albums before splitting up in 1995. Their only constant members were vocalist John Garcia (known for his very recognisable voice, which is often said to be synonymous with the genre) and guitarist Josh Homme, who you already know of.Former members:
- John Garcia, vocals (1987-1995)
- Josh Homme, guitar (1987-1995)
- Nick Oliveri, guitar (1987-1988), bass (1991-1992) [he has also been in Queens of the Stone Age; he's the shirtless bald guy in QOTSA's video for "No One Knows" and the shirtless long-haired dude in the video for Kyuss' "Thong Song"]
- Chris Cockrell, bass (1987-1991)
- Brant Bjork, drums (1987-1994)
- Scott Reeder, bass (1992-1995)
- Alfredo Hernandez, drums (1994-1995)
- Wretch, 1991
- Blues for the Red Sun, 1992
- Welcome to Sky Valley, 1994
- ...And the Circus Leaves Town, 1995
Tropes that apply to Kyuss:
- Breakup Breakout: After Kyuss broke up, Josh Homme founded Queens of the Stone Age and had far more commercial success than Kyuss ever did.
- Cover Version: They did a cover of Yawning Man's "Catamaran", a cover of Across the River's "N.O.", and their last release, a Kyuss/QOTSA split single, had a cover of "Into the Void" by Black Sabbath.
- Creative Differences: Bjork left the band because he and Homme began clashing over songwriting, and Homme had started refusing to play on his songs.
- Creator Breakdown: After they disbanded, Josh apparently had one.
- Credits Gag: The liner notes of Blues for the Red Sun credit John Garcia with "lyrics" for "Molten Universe", "Apothecaries' Weight", "800" and "Capsized", all of whom are instrumentals.
- Epic Rocking: "Spaceship Landing" is 11 minutes, and there's a good few songs that stretch past 6-7. Played with on Welcome to Sky Valley, which has 10 songs but on most CD versions smooshes them together into three tunes plus the Hidden Track.Josh, asked why the CDs combine the tracks: I just wanted it to be like hell to play on a CD player.
- Heavy Mithril: They're named after a Dungeons & Dragons demigod.
- Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness: On the border between 6 and 7. Some of their gentler songs go as low as 3 (the acoustic blues-rock tune "Space Cadet").
- Name's the Same: What does Brant's family name remind you of?...
- "Thong Song" isn't about ladies' undergarments. It's about a type of sandals popular in the Palm Desert.
- Non-Appearing Title: Several examples, including "Gardenia", "Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop" and "50 Million Year Trip (Downside Up)".
- Shout-Out: The main "Freedom Run" riff has a slight similarity to Sabbath's "War Pigs". Both are completely awesome.
- Blues for the Red Sun takes its name from the Cosmos: A Personal Voyage episode "Blues for a Red Planet".
- Stoner Metal: Trope Maker along with Sleep.
- The Red Stapler: Josh's Ovation GP guitar.
- Basically, some fans instantly went to eBay when they discovered what he was playing and managed to hike the prices of a guitar that was fairly unpopular up to insane heights. Now you're lucky if GP aficionados don't tear you apart for wanting "Josh Homme's guitar."
- Title Only Chorus: FREEDOM RUN! FREEDOM RUN!
- Word Salad Lyrics: A lot of the stuff they made.
"Homme: I have a tooth obsession. I've had everything done to my teeth that you could have done. I used to dream about teeth all the time-I've had nightmares about them since I was a kid, like horrible night terrors. I even went the doctor about it, and that's why I hate going to sleep even to this day. I still always have nightmares. So I'd have this recurring dream where I'm getting my teeth pulled out and then I'd flash forward and I'd be in a giant mouth with these teeth bleeding everywhere. And I'd be cleaning these giant teeth while the blood was coming down and I'd be drowning in a sea of toothbrush foam and blood. So "Demon Cleaner" was this metaphor for, you know, you gotta keep yourself clean, you gotta keep yourself tight."
- Subverted with "Demon Cleaner," where the lyrics seem to mean nothing, but it's actually about brushing your teeth. No really, look:
- Word Salad Title: "(Beginning of What's About to Happen) Hwy 74", "Apothecaries' Weight", "Molten Universe", "50 Million Year Trip (Downside Up)", "Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop", "Thee Ol' Boozeroony", "Tangy Sizzle", "Phototropic". Their other songs tend to be less out there as far as titles go.

Clifford Geertz, a leading cultural anthropologist whose influence extended to many other disciplines, died Monday from complications following heart surgery. Geertz, 80, was professor emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study, in Princeton, N.J., where his hiring in 1970 started what became the School of Social Science. Geertz's work has been particularly influential on questions of culture, religion (especially Islam), political structures, and village and family life.

Basic Concepts Scheduling Criteria Scheduling Algorithms Multiple-Processor Scheduling Algorithm Evaluation Maximum CPU utilization obtained with multiprogramming CPU–I/O Burst Cycle – Process execution consists of a cycle of CPU execution and I/O wait. CPU burst distribution Selects from among the processes in memory that are ready to execute, and allocates the CPU to one of them. CPU scheduling decisions may take place when a process: ◦ Switches from running to waiting state. ◦ Switches from running to ready state. ◦ Switches from waiting to ready. ◦ Terminates. Scheduling under 1 and 4 is nonpreemptive. All other scheduling is preemptive. Dispatcher module gives control of the CPU to the process selected by the short-term scheduler; this involves: ◦ switching context ◦ switching to user mode ◦ jumping to the proper location in the user program to restart that program Dispatch latency – time it takes for the dispatcher to stop one process and start another running. CPU utilization – keep the CPU as busy as possible Throughput – # of processes that complete their execution per time unit Turnaround time – amount of time to execute a particular process Waiting time – amount of time a process has been waiting in the ready queue Response time – amount of time it takes from when a request was submitted until the first response is produced, not output (for time- sharing environment) Max CPU utilization Max throughput Min turnaround time Min waiting time Min response time Process Burst Time P1 24 P2 3 P3 3 Suppose that the processes arrive in the order: P1 , P2 , P3 . The Gantt Chart for the schedule is: P1 P2 P3 0 24 27 30 Waiting time for P1 = 0; P2 = 24; P3 = 27 Average waiting time: (0 + 24 + 27)/3 = 17 Suppose that the processes arrive in the order P2 , P3 , P1 The Gantt chart for the schedule is: P2 P3 P1 0 3 6 30 Waiting time for P1 = 6; P2 = 0; P3 = 3 Average waiting time: (6 + 0 + 3)/3 = 3 Much better than previous case. Convoy effect: short process behind long process Associate with each process the length of its next CPU burst. Use these lengths to schedule the process with the shortest time. Two schemes: ◦ nonpreemptive – once CPU given to the process it cannot be preempted until completes its CPU burst. Preemptive Version (SRTF) ◦ if a new process arrives with CPU burst length less than remaining time of current executing process, preempt. This scheme is know as the Shortest- Remaining-Time-First (SRTF). SJF is optimal – gives minimum average waiting time for a given set of processes. Process Arrival Time Burst Time P1 0.0 7 P2 2.0 4 P3 4.0 1 P4 5.0 4 SJF (non-preemptive) P1 P3 P2 P4 0 3 7 8 12 16 Average waiting time = (0 + 6 + 3 + 7)/4 = 4 Process Arrival Time Burst Time P1 0.0 7 P2 2.0 4 P3 4.0 1 P4 5.0 4 SJF (preemptive) P1 P2 P3 P2 P4 P1 0 2 4 5 7 11 16 Average waiting time = (9 + 1 + 0 +2)/4 = 3 The exponential average formula can only estimate the length. Can be done by using the length of previous CPU bursts, using exponential averaging. 1. tn actual length of nthCPU burst lenght 2. n1 predicted value for the next CPU burst 3. , 0 1 4. Define : n 1 tn 1 n . =0 ◦ n+1 = n ◦ Recent history does not count. =1 ◦ n+1 = tn ◦ Only the actual last CPU burst counts. If we expand the formula, we get: n+1 = tn+(1 - ) n n+1 = tn+(1 - )[ tn-1 +(1 - ) n-1 ] + … +(1 - )j tn-j + … +(1 - )n+1 0 Since both and (1 - ) are less than or equal to 1, each successive term has less weight than its predecessor. A priority number (integer) is associated with each process The CPU is allocated to the process with the highest priority (smallest integer highest priority). ◦ Preemptive ◦ nonpreemptive SJF is a priority scheduling where priority is the predicted next CPU burst time. Problem Starvation – low priority processes may never execute. Solution Aging – as time progresses increase the priority of the process. Each process gets a small unit of CPU time (time quantum), usually 10-100 milliseconds. After this time has elapsed, the process is preempted and added to the end of the ready queue. If there are n processes in the ready queue and the time quantum is q, then each process gets 1/n of the CPU time in chunks of at most q time units at once. No process waits more than (n-1)q time units. Performance ◦ q large FIFO ◦ q small q must be large with respect to context switch, otherwise overhead is too high. Process Burst Time P1 53 P2 17 P3 68 P4 24 The Gantt chart is: P1 P2 P3 P4 P1 P3 P4 P1 P3 P3 0 20 37 57 77 97 117 121 134 154 162 Typically, higher average turnaround than SJF, but better response. Ready queue is partitioned into separate queues: foreground (interactive) background (batch) Each queue has its own scheduling algorithm: foreground – RR background – FCFS Scheduling must be done between the queues. ◦ Fixed priority scheduling; (i.e., serve all from foreground then from background). Possibility of starvation. ◦ Time slice – each queue gets a certain amount of CPU time which it can schedule amongst its processes; i.e., 80% to foreground in RR ◦ 20% to background in FCFS A process can move between the various queues; aging can be implemented this way. Multilevel-feedback-queue scheduler defined by the following parameters: ◦ number of queues ◦ scheduling algorithms for each queue ◦ method used to determine when to upgrade a process ◦ method used to determine when to demote a process ◦ method used to determine which queue a process will enter when that process needs service Three queues: ◦ Q0 – time quantum 8 milliseconds ◦ Q1 – time quantum 16 milliseconds ◦ Q2 – FCFS Scheduling ◦ A new job enters queue Q0 which is served FCFS. When it gains CPU, job receives 8 milliseconds. If it does not finish in 8 milliseconds, job is moved to queue Q1. ◦ At Q1 job is again served FCFS and receives 16 additional milliseconds. If it still does not complete, it is preempted and moved to queue Q2. Advantages: ◦ Flexibility – can be used to implement many different policies ◦ Good balance of priority and fairness (and it's tweakeable) Disadvantages: ◦ Complexity to code ◦ Run-time efficiency CPU scheduling gets more complex when multiple CPUs are available. Assume homogeneous processors within a multiprocessor. ◦ Note: Future processors may not fit this model! Schedules can be made either: ◦ Symmetrically – each processor schedules itself from a shared queue ◦ Asymmetrically – one processor only in kernel mode Processor Affinity ◦ When a process was running on CPU , and is migrated to CPU b, there is a penalty for cache/TLB/memory flush/re-load. Load Balancing: ◦ Processes should be scheduled fairly evenly across multiple processors ◦ Avoids wasting CPU cycles when there is something that could be running These two are both important, but they tend to fight each other. To avoid flushing the caches, each process will "preference" a CPU (or set of CPUs) ◦ "Soft" affinity – can be moved if needed ◦ "Hard" affinity – locked in on the current CPU Implementation varies – depends on: ◦ System architecture and available resources ◦ Load balancing needs Solutions: Run with a single ready queue ◦ If a CPU becomes idle, it just pulls the next process ◦ Not used in practice (SMP common) Push migration ◦ An OS task examines the load every so often, and if needed, pushes some processes from heavily loaded CPUs to lightly loaded ones. Pull migration ◦ An idle CPU pulls a process from another CPUs queue. Most multi-core processors today also implement hardware simultaneous multithreading ◦ i.e. Intel i7 (Nehalem) "Hyperthreading" CPU is represented to OS as multiple logical CPUs – one for each "hardware thread" ◦ i.e. UltraSPARC T1 8 cores, each with 4 threads 32 logical processors! OS must schedule the processes into the "logical processors". ◦ Typical scheduling algorithms (?) CPU decides which "hardware thread" to run on each core ◦ Coarse-grained parallelism rotate threads when a long-latency instruction happens, like a load which misses cache ◦ Fine-grained parallelism "Round Robin" the hardware threads, often every clock cycle. This is very rare in practice Deterministic modeling: ◦ takes a particular predetermined workload ◦ defines the performance of each algorithm for that workload. What you did in 265 Queueing models – Little's law ◦ N= λW N = average queue length λ = average arrival rate W = average waiting time in queue ◦ e.g., if N = 8, λ = 2 W=4 Simulations ◦ Clock ◦ Random generation of: Processes Burst times Arrival & departures rates Based on probability distributions: ◦ Uniform ◦ Exponential ◦ Poisson ◦ Empirical Implementation O(n) scheduling a task takes O(n) where n = # of tasks One runqueue for all processors in a symmetric multiprocessor system - Task can be scheduled on any CPU - Good for load balancing - Bad for memory cache movements, e.g., task previously on CPU1 is - run on CPU2 move cache1 to cache2 Single runqueue CPUs had to contend with shared lock. No preemption allowed higher priority process may have to wait. - Each CPU has its own runqueue (priority = 1 to 140) - Tasks are scheduled RR multilevel feedback paradigm. - Tasks whose TQ expires are moved to Expired runqueue (priorities are recalculated) Why O(1)? - Bitmap of priorities is read (each priority level points to process) - Since size of bitmap is 140, selection of process does not depend on the number of processes in the runqueue. Active runqueue pointer - When active runqueue is empty, pointer is set to expired runqueue, i.e., expired runqueue now becomes active runqueue and vice versa - Each CPU (in an SMP system) sets locks on its own runqueues all CPUs can schedule without contention from other CPUs. Dynamic Priority Assignment - CPU bound processes are penalized (increased by 5 levels) - I/O bound rewarded (prioirity# decreased by 5 levels) I/O bound use CPU to set up I/O and is suspended give other processes a chance to execute altruistic Heuristic for I/O or CPU bound category?? - interactivity heuristic based on: time task executes compared with time it is suspended. - I/O bounds sleep time is large increase in interactivity metric rewarded. - Priority adjustments only applied to user processes. Priority-based, pre-emptive. Dispatcher handles scheduling. Thread currently running is interrupted when: ◦ (a) it terminates, or ◦ (b) higher priority thread arrives, or ◦ (c) time-quantum expires, or ◦ (d) does I/O gives real-time threads priority Dispatcher uses multi-level priority scheme Priorities are divided into two classes: ◦ (a) variable (1-15) ◦ (b) real-time (16-31) thread running at priority 0 is used for memory mgmt.

PS - I hope you're right and I'm wrong.
Sentiment: Hold
I was more correct than I wanted to be. Rough time for this stock. Taking a bit of a beating - probably more to come.
Sentiment: Hold

That's one way to look at it, but then it WAS up $1.02 at one point and has given half back (so far) - just like always.

The Tsar's Last Armada: The Epic Voyage to the Battle of Tsushimaby Constanti Pleshakov
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
On May 14-15, 1905, in the Tsushima Straits near Japan, an entire Russian fleet was annihilated, its ships sunk, scattered, or captured by the Japanese. It was among the top five naval battles in history, equal to those of Lepanto, Trafalgar, Jutland, and Midway. The Japanese lost only three destroyers, but the Russians lost twenty-two ships and thousands of sailors. To this day Russian ships throw wreaths on the waves when passing the Korea Strait. The Russians had traveled for nine months to be destroyed in a few hours. Because they were afraid of capture in the Suez Canal, their legendary admiral, dubbed "Mad Dog," led them on an extraordinary 18,000-mile detour from the Baltic Sea, around Europe, Africa, and Asia to the Sea of Japan. They were burdened by the Tsar's incompetent leadership and the old, slow ships that he insisted be included to bulk up the fleet. Moreover, they were under constant fear of attack, and there were no friendly ports to supply coal, food, and fresh water. The level of self-sufficiency achieved by this squadron was not again attained in naval practice until the Second World War.
With a novelist's eye and a historian's authority, Pleshakov tells of the Russian squadron's long, difficult journey and swift, horrible defeat.
"A stirring reconstruction of one of history's great — and least-known — naval battles....Pleshakov does a fine job of explaining the military and political complexities of the conflict....[He] also vividly describes the battle itself....Fascinating stuff. A boon for students of military history and naval warfare." Kirkus Reviews
"[T]he book moves inexorably toward its inevitable end with the power of a giant dreadnought at full steam, affording a moving portrait of a capable leader placed in a situation where he could not possibly prevail." Publishers Weekly
"Anyone interested in navies will race through this book, replete as it is with the still-strange spectacle of a battle fleet sailing around the world to its doom....A compulsively readable account told from the Russian viewpoint." Gilbert Taylor, Booklist
"This book is a page-turner, even though one knows what the outcome will be....Historians and specialists will be interested in the narrative and development of the main characters." Library Journal
"The strengths of this book lie in the colorful, detailed approach Pleshakov takes to presenting the world of sailors and officers during the early part of the 20th century....However, there are deficiencies. For example, Pleshakov forthrightly admits that he does not read Japanese and, therefore, a whole side (intentions, tactics, strategy, etc.) of this tale is omitted....Nevertheless, Pleshakov has rendered a little-remembered, but extremely important, battle and its Russian participants in vivid color." Ian Drake, JournalNow.com
Book News Annotation:
The total victory of the Japanese over the Russians in May 1905 stunned the western world at the time, but only later was seen to have ushered in the modern age of war and politics. Pleshakov (international relations, Mount Holyoke College, Massachusetts) tells of the Russian fleet's epic voyage from St. Petersburg around Europe and Africa, across the Indian Ocean, and up the east coast of Asia to meet its quick destruction.

D.C. United
Three unanswered second-half goals gave the Houston Dynamo a 3-1 win over D.C. United on Sunday in the first leg of the Eastern Conference finals.
What's next? That has to be the question D.C. United and it supporters or asking after the Black and Red navigated through two games, two red cards, one hurricane, and one snow storm to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals against the Houston Dynamo.
In a high intensity match, Nick DeLeon scored the game's first and only goal in the 88th minute sending D.C. United to the Eastern Conference Final for the first time since 2006.
There are curtain calls with hat tips, salutes from the ice with sticks pointed to the rafters and Lambeau Leaps, and then there is the manner in which D.C. United players showed love to their fans Thursday night after a match that never even kicked off.

Works entering the public domain provide an economic benefit to future generations.
Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Dickens works have been public domain for quite some time. What economic benefits have been gained so far? Nothing, other than getting those works for free.
Bullshit, people have been sampling and remixing public domain works for years and have created new works of value. To say the public domain has no economic benefit for new creators is terribly short-sighted.

Plenty of users of the BSDs contribute their changes back. Yahoo and Apple are both rather giving in this respect. Part of the reasoning is that once you make your change proprietary you then have to effectively fork the code and continue all maintenance yourself. For infrastructure changes its simply easier to contribute the change back. If someone keeps one bit proprietary and submits ten other bits back as a result of keeping that bit proprietary I still consider that a win.

I am separated and have 2 wonderful teenage boys and am living with my new partner on the seafront at Brighton overlooking the sea which fantastic.
I seemed to have missed out on travelling abroad so am intending making up for that and seeing places that I have always wanted to go.
I am very clean and tidy and a non smoker.
I appreciate good food, good wine and good company and like to meet people and despite my terrible language skills engage in conversation where possible which may include a lot of hand-waving !
