how do i find the eigenvector?
\[\left( A-\lambda I \right)x=0\]lamda is the eigenvalue, x is the eigenvector
i was able to find the eigenvalue \[\left[\begin{matrix}-6 & 1 \\ -2 & -3\end{matrix}\right]\] to be \[\lambda _{1}=-4, \lambda _{2}=-5\] now what's the next step?
@nightshade please don't post off-topic answers. @exraven and elica85 we want x to not be the zero vector also
Did you try to plug into exraven's formula to find the eigenvectors
i thought it's lambdaI-A, not A-lambdaI
idk what i'm doing, my school doesn't require us to take linear algebra to take diff eq so i'm suppose to know what to do but i don't
o if i just have to find x, i should be able to...
\[(A-\lambda_n \cdot I)x=0\] For \[\lambda_1=-4\] |dw:1333932816786:dw|
For \[\lambda_2=-5\] |dw:1333932896865:dw|

According to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 65 percent of Americans polled said they usually get at least seven hours of sleep per night, the benchmark recommendation. It's self-reported data, not confirmed with any kind of tracking, but it's fairly consistent with other estimates, the CDC says.
When the responses were broken down by race, they found that non-Hispanic whites had the highest rate of healthy sleep duration, at 66.8 percent. Close to 66 percent of Hispanics got seven-plus hours, as did 62.5 percent of Asians and 59.6 percent of Native Americans. Black people were at 54.2 percent, and multiracial people were at the bottom, with 53.6 percent. Overall, people who were employed and college-educated slept better, too.

21st century prison diaries
From one of an amazing, and funny, series of articles by Barrett Brown, an imprisoned journalist.
In fact, the gangs really don't have control over the prison. But then neither does the administration, if by "control" we mean the ability to make uncontested decisions over what happens within a given space, in which case control is always a matter of degree. The federal and state governments of the United States, for instance, exercise some degree of overlapping control over their territory, but not to such an extent that the various law-enforcement agencies — er, law enforcement agencies — arrest any but a small minority of residents who violate the law.
This is just as well, since the law requires that the tens of millions of Americans who use drugs or gamble or involve themselves in prostitution be imprisoned — and that's not even counting federal law, which, as convincingly estimated by civil liberties attorney Harvey Silverglate in his book Three Felonies a Day, the average American unwittingly violates every day. And thus it is that the U.S. can continue to exist above the level of an unprecedented gulag state only to the extent that its laws are not actually enforced — an extraordinary and fundamental fact of American life that one might hope in vain to see rise to the level of an election issue, but which is at least worth keeping in mind when it comes to the debate over whether or not we should keep granting the state ever more powerful methods of surveillance until it becomes the All-Seeing God Against Whose Laws We All Have Sinned. (Personally I'd vote "no," but then I'm a felon and can't vote anyway.)
…The reality is that control is shared by way of a sort of makeshift federalism that varies in particulars from prison to prison but in which real power is always divided among the various gangs, the staff, and local and regional administrators in an arrangement that's best described as a cross between the old Swiss canton system and China during the Warring States period, which I'll be the first to acknowledge is not especially helpful. Suffice to say that it will take me the remainder of my sentence to provide a real sense of this remarkable state-within-a-state and its inimitable politics — the politics of the literally disenfranchised, who live their lives in the very guts of government without being able to rely on its protections, and so are forced to provide their own. Really, it's a state-within-a-state-within-a-

The ghost in the machine, in drag
There's no real evidence that any of these characters are the gender people assume them to be. They borrow the voices of real men or women, but playing back feminine voices from a database doesn't make a machine female – if I play Cat Power on my iPod it doesn't start ovulating.
That is Martin Robbins in The Guardian, on why we insist giving R2D2, HAL, and other droids in life and film, a gender. Funny but also poignant:
Back in our galaxy, companies have been quick to use female voices for assistive technologies. Apparently we respond better to them, imagining them as 'women' and helpfully projecting all our conscious and subconscious biases on to them. Apple's Siri is named after the Norse for "a beautiful woman who leads you to victory", while Microsoft's rival system, Cortana, takes 'her' name from a super-hot virtual lady in Halo who walks around in simulated body paint.
This could soon become a problem. What does it mean for the perception and treatment of real women if male-dominated tech companies surround us with subservient female voices? If you think that's a silly question, imagine if instead of vending machines we had robotic black people obediently handing over cans of Coke to us.

- Pacific Standard Magazine looks at what really happened to woolly mammoths, and not just them:
There were mastodons, six-foot tall beavers, ground sloths the size of black bears, armadillos bigger than Volkswagen Beetles, American lions and cheetahs and camels, and saber-toothed tigers—to name just a few. Between 10,000 and 13,000 years ago, the Americas alone—once a zoo filled with enough wonders to put a modern African safari to shame—lost over 70 genera of large mammals.
The prevailing opinion used to be that climate change killed them, but that is giving way to an economic explanation, the tragedy (or problem) of the commons. When these potential sources of wealth aren't owned, everybody has an incentive to hunt them and nobody to preserve them. Elephants hunted for ivory today face the same problem and the article discusses solutions from economics.

Can political ideas drive development? My prediction for the next thought revolution in development circles
Everywhere I turn I keep seeing people writing about the way that ideas and ideology shape development paths: what political strategies get pursued, what institutions get put in place. Most of these are isolated examples. Only some of the scholars are aware of one another. Some examples:
- Josh Simon at Columbia, a political philosopher, is considering how Americas-born "Creole" thinkers, like Bolivar or Alexander Hamilton, shaped the kind of political unions and nations that formed. Also here.
- I have been re-reading an old favorite book, Coffee and Power, by Jeffrey Paige, which tries to understand why relatively similar countries in Central America took incredibly different political paths. Liberal ideologies and inventive, ideological politicians in the late 19th century play a big role in his explanation.
- Dani Rodrik has tried to place ideology in the kinds of models economists are comfortable talking about, and suggests a political possibilities frontier that is often below the production possibilities frontier, that can both limit what options we pursue as a society, but also shows the role for ideology and innovative political entrepreneurs to change the system.
- In international relations, the diffusion of norms and ideas is now one of the most predominant explanations for political change, such as democratization. See this famous piece by Martha Finnemore and Kathryn Sikkink.
A few years ago, when Acemoglu and Robinson wrote Why Nations Fail, they singled out "ideology" as one of the theories that simply can't explain development paths. I mostly buy the Acemoglu and Robinson view of the world, and teach the book, but I remember thinking to myself at the time: "If I had to place bets on where the most interesting research will be, it's where the new orthodoxy tells us we have to stop looking."
More pointers welcome.
Technology giveth to Uber and technology will taketh away?
Adrian Chen in the New Yorker describes one man, Fabio Krasniqi, and his attempt to organize Laguardia airport Uber drivers after Uber suddenly dropped fares by 15%.
Bits and pieces of the piece made me wonder: Technology giveth to Uber but technology can taketh away?
New York has an estimated thirty thousand Uber drivers, and a while ago Krasniqi and some other LaGuardia drivers started a group on the messaging app WhatsApp called the Drivers Report, where they trade information about traffic and the level of demand at the airport.
…Krasniqi designed a flyer on his smartphone and ordered twenty thousand copies at a print shop near the airport. The other drivers chipped in.
..Now, in Lot 7, Krasniqi was trying to keep the previous day's momentum going. He stood over a picnic table, scrawling the name of a Facebook page he had created on a piece of poster board. It was called Uber Drivers Report. In the hoarse bark of a coach at halftime, Krasniqi urged his audience to like and share the page to get the word out about upcoming protests.
There is still much room for the traditional social network.
Eventually, Dorjee, Krasniqi, and about a dozen other drivers from Lot 7 formed an informal committee to plan a protest the following Monday. They represent the many ethnic groups that comprise the approximately seven hundred drivers who regularly work out of LaGuardia: "I said, 'Listen, guys, in order for us to be powerful and to be strong and for the drivers to trust exactly what we're saying, we have to leave the door open to all communities,' " Krasniqi said.
…Each member of the committee reached out to well-connected members of his or her own ethnic community.
Plus fascinating bits about different union locals competing to represent them.
The downside of having chimp brains and just 140 characters: A theory of Internet nastiness
On a long car drive this weekend, I happened to listen to this brilliant This American Life podcast: If You Don't Have Anything Nice to Say, SAY IT IN ALL CAPS. Stories of why otherwise nice people say awful things on the Internet.
Those of you following me on Twitter Thursday and Friday will understand why this was cathartic. (If not, don't worry about it, it's not the point of this post or a very big deal.)
Rather, in the midst of nastiness, @dadakim tweeted something that at first I found off topic: "This=sometimes how it feels to be a woman with an opinion on the internet."
I will say this: If you are remotely skeptical of that statement, you should listen to the TAL podcast.
I am forced to update my theory of Internet nastiness. Previously I ascribed nastiness to the same instincts that make us nasty gossips. In haste, in irritation, and in private we tend to say things that we would never say in front a wider audience, or to a person's face. For some reason people seem to engage their gossip brain on Facebook, Twitter, and blogs rather than their "I'm speaking to you directly" brain.
The Internet is curiously dehumanizing. You have to teach yourself not to write like that, and on the receiving side coach yourself not to read it too seriously (or at all). Both are difficult. For me the first is easier than the second.
I still buy my theory. But this isn't quite sufficient to explain the frequency and maliciousness of attacks against women.
It's tempting to look at the anecdote from TAL–a reformed troll who comes to understand how his insecurity feeds a loathing of women, and how the dehumanizing Internet lets him relieve his own anger without understanding the consequences. But deep-rooted misogyny seems like too simplistic an answer to be full or correct.
I am guessing many have thought about this subject and would be interested in pointers. Especially science on the subject.
How your city can create more criminals of its young men
Why do crime rates differ greatly across neighborhoods and schools? Comparing youth who were assigned to opposite sides of newly drawn school boundaries, we show that concentrating disadvantaged youth together in the same schools and neighborhoods increases total crime.
We then show that these youth are more likely to be arrested for committing crimes together — to be "partners in crime". Our results suggest that direct peer interaction is a key mechanism for social multipliers in criminal behavior. As a result, policies that increase residential and school segregation will — all else equal — increase crime through the formation of denser criminal networks.

- Priceonomics combines census data with historical accounts in a very interesting piece "The Great Migration: The African American Exodus from The South." The conversations in the comments section have been really good as well (I also learned that we're in the midst of a reverse migration back to the South).
- UN peacekeeping troops from France and Georgia sent to help refugees in the Central African Republic are accused of rape there. More here and here.
- In Ghana, regulators hope to merge the four separate mobile money platforms that exist now, but there is a dispute between banks and telecom companies over interest payments. The banks would like to return 100% of the interest to the customers while the telecom companies would like it returned to them, so they can take 20% of it, passing the rest back to the customers.
- Normally, low-income students can send four sets of SAT scores to colleges free. Doubling this number to eight (which is very inexpensive to do) had a very impressive effect:
Specifically, we estimate that inducing a low-income student to send one more score report, on average, increased on-time college attendance by nearly 5 percentage points and five-year bachelor's completion by slightly more than 3 percentage points. The policy impact was driven entirely by students who, based on SAT scores, were competitive candidates for admission to four-year colleges.
- Tim Harford has his top five economics podcasts to listen to in 2016 (and a reminder that some of our favorite individual episodes from 2015 are here).
- And, telemarketers and scammers have been using internet calling with caller ID spoofing to avoid rules. Sometimes the conversation is driven by a human in a call center clicking on pre-recorded phrases to engage in a conversation. But one hero is trying to waste telemarketers' time and drive up their costs with an AI interface designed to keep telemarketers on the phone as long as possible, and he's letting other people use it too. More from his site, Jolly Roger Telephone Co (he also has a kickstarter to expand it). Via Gizmodo.
My favorite television of the past year
In order that I have enjoyed shows in the past year:
- The Expanse. A new space opera. The best since BSG, and maybe only second to that overall.
- Please Like Me, Season 2. Funniest show ever about a young gay man facing rejection, death, and mental illness. All the usual ingredients of comedy.
- Homeland Season 5. As a supposedly liberal intellectual I think I'm supposed to not like this show. But I do. Probably the best season since the first.
- Man in the High Castle. From the Phillip K Dick novel, about an alternate history where the Nazis and Japanese win WWII.
- Jessica Jones. Emotionally disturbed superheroes and villains. The best take on the genre.
I have yet to watch Narcos but I plan to. The only people who don't seem to like this are Colombians, who think they got the history right but are angry that Escobar is played by a Brazilian.
What do you recommend?
The rainbow bagel is so wrong for so many reasons
I have only lived in New York for about nine years, so I'm not really in a position to decide who gets to be a New Yorker or not, but my vote would be to deport these people from the state. We'll take more Syrian refugees, and the governor of Texas can grow fat on neon bagels for breakfast.
Via Business Insider. Hat tip to my sister in law, who lives in Ottawa with direct access to the incredible Montreal-style bagel, and should know better than to be enthused by this culinary travesty.
The best possible reason for blogging
Via xkcd. HT Bilial Siddiqi.
This is probably the best argument I've ever heard for admitting Syrian refugees, or really anyone
Developed by three young software-engineering students at the University of Iceland, it lets users instantly compare their lineage by bumping their mobile devices together. The app includes an "incest-prevention alarm," says Arnar Freyr Adalsteinsson, one of the developers. "When you bump, it shows your nearest common ancestors. If you bump with someone who's too closely related, you get an alarm sound and a text warning."
That's right, a country where people are so similar you need a mobile app to tell you if your drunk booty call is a relative.

Four reasons why buying houses is overrated
Alex Tabarrok gives us two reasons
Housing is overrated as a financial investment. First, it's not good to have a significant share of your wealth locked into a single asset. Diversification is better and it's easier to diversify with stocks. Second, unless you are renting the basement, houses don't pay dividends. Stocks do. You can hope that your house will accumulate in value but don't count on it. Indeed, you should expect that as an investment your house will appreciate less than does the stock market.
…Another problem with houses is that home ownership locks people to location making it harder to move for jobs. The problem is especially severe because no one likes to sell at a "loss" even when it is rational to do so. So when jobs disappear and home prices fall instead of moving, people hold on for too long just hoping that things will get better.
I would add one more: People who own seem to spend a LOT of time on their weekends and holidays doing repairs and maintenance. If this is something you enjoy, great. If you would rather spend time with family, read, work, or Netflix binge, then it's not so fantastic. Personally, my marginal value of leisure is high. I don't even like thinking about my apartment or what needs to be done.
Alex highlights some of the benefits of housing. Some people like them a lot (or have been socialized to), and there are tax breaks. Plus so much of life in America is structured around home buying, such as public schooling.
I would add "forced savings". If you are the kind of person who does not invest first spend later, then your mortgage forces you onto an intensive savings plan (in an albeit suboptimal investment).
So, basically, the best argument for houses is "distortions and weakness".
I suspect some readers will still say things like "but housing is historically a great investment!". I'm not sure they are thinking in real terms, and I do not think they are comparing it to historical stock market returns. And I am guessing people selectively remember the houses that appreciated, not the ones that stayed mainly flat. It's like making the case for stocks based on people who bought Apple in 1987.
Surely someone has done the numbers here. Any pointers?

Soriano wrote in a new blog post, "as far as I can see the development status of Nautilus it's in its best moment since it was created, and part of that is thanks of the status of gtk+ development and the values and vision of GNOME as a project."

Unity 8 and Snaps Are the Future of the Ubuntu Desktop, After Ubuntu 16.10
Today, May 5, 2016, is the last day of the Ubuntu Online Summit 2016, and we've just attended a very exciting session where the Ubuntu developers have discussed the future of the Ubuntu Desktop after Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak).
You can watch the entire session below if you don't want to read the next paragraphs, but as usual, we'll try to detail and explain a few things for you so that you know now what to expect from future versions of the Ubuntu Linux operating system, on the desktop, of course.
Router hackers reach for the fork: LEDE splits from OpenWRT
A split seems to have emerged in the Linux-router-OS community, with a breakaway group splitting from OpenWRT.
OpenWRT is the chief open router firmware implementation, but it has run into headwinds of late. For example, downtime for the group earlier this year was traced back to the small organisation running a single, small, server without redundancy.
Samsung's 360 degree camera will cost just about $350, oh and it runs Tizen !

Microsoft no longer allows administrators to block Windows Store access in Windows 10 Pro
How Windows 10 Update Ruined Live Stream Of A Pro Gamer With 130,000 Followers
Microsoft continues to irritate its customers with its latest operating system Windows 10.
M$: We Control Your PC…
Switch to Debian GNU/Linux, the OS that works for you not against you. If you switch to "enterprise", how long will it be before they start chasing you there? Next month? Next year? What other schemes will their salesmen develop to make you miserable? Come on. You know they're out to get you and they will as long as you run their OS.
Microsoft: Why we tore handy Store block out of Windows 10 Pro PCs
Last month, while we were all distracted by iPhone hacking and Jay-Z's web fiasco, Microsoft silently bumped off the ability for IT administrators to easily take the Windows Store off Windows 10 Pro PCs.
Removing the software store, along with other bundled apps, from work machines is normally a good idea to prevent users from installing crap, breaking things and calling the help desk, and generally wasting time at their desks.

Open Source Projects Are Transforming Machine Learning and AI
Machine learning and artificial intelligence have quickly gained traction with the public through applications such as Apple's Siri and Microsoft's Cortana. The true promise of these disciplines, though, extends far beyond simple speech recognition performed on our smartphones. New, open source tools are arriving that can run on affordable hardware and allow individuals and small organizations to perform prodigious data crunching and predictive tasks.
Open Source Projects Are Transforming Machine Learning and AI
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy announced a decision to create a new subcommittee on Artificial Intelligence to look for ways to use the technology as American citizens interact with the federal government.
"The Federal Government also is working to leverage AI for public good and toward a more effective government," Deputy U.S. Chief Technology Officer Ed Felten in a statement.
ReactOS 0.4.1 Is En Route For Open-Source Windows
For fans of ReactOS as a project long working on providing an open-source, drop-in-replacement for Windows, a new release is being prepared.
Building off the recent ReactOS 0.4 release is the v0.4.1 point release in development. A few hours ago, ReactOS 0.4.1 RC1 was released for those wishing to test this open-source OS implementation of Windows.
PBS Digital Studios Asks 'Should Everything Be Open Source?'
The DMCA doesn't just make it illegal for you to circumvent DRM to rip and burn a DVD of 'War Games' or to install a pirated copy of Windows. It also can make it illegal for you to repair or modify things you own.
Public television and radio in the United States have been surprisingly shy about covering the open source movement, but this video by Mike Rugnetta at PBS Digital Studios shows that they may be waking up.

Mashing Up OpenStack With Hyperconverged Storage
While innovators in the HPC and hyperscale arenas usually have the talent and often have the desire to get into the code for the tools that they use to create their infrastructure, most enterprises want their software with a bit more fit and finish, and if they can get it so it is easy to operate and yet still in some ways open, they are willing to pay a decent amount of cash to get commercial-grade support.
Calculating NPV for Open Source Big Data Projects
Mention the words "open source" and all kinds ideas probably come to mind such as "free", "agility", and "speed". However, with any IT project, it is important to look at business benefits vs. costs in a manner that goes beyond generalizations. One method for benefit-cost analysis for open source big data projects is Net Present Value (NPV).

Lumina Desktop 0.9 Adds Window Compositing Support, New Text Editor
The BSD-focused Lumina Desktop Environment has released version 0.9 of their open-source, Qt-powered desktop while version 1.0 is expected later this year in step with PC-BSD/FreeBSD 11.0.
Lumina 0.9 still lacks its own window manager, but they have added compositing window manager support via xcompmgr. For systems without xcompmgr or not being able to run a composited desktop, Lumina will still fall back to not using any compositing effects with the Fluxbox window manager. Lumina's own window manager is now delayed until after their 1.0 desktop release.

Security updates for Thursday
OpenSSL patches two high-severity flaws
OpenSSL has released versions 1.0.2h and 1.0.1t of its open source cryptographic library, fixing multiple security vulnerabilities that can lead to traffic being decrypted, denial-of-service attacks, and arbitrary code execution. One of the high-severity vulnerabilities is actually a hybrid of two low-risk bugs and can cause OpenSSL to crash.

Preparing Your Network for the IoT Revolution
While there is no denying that IP-based connectivity continues to become more and more pervasive, this is not a fundamentally new thing. What is new is the target audience is changing and connectivity is becoming much more personal. It's no longer limited to high end technology consumers (watches and drones) but rather, it is showing up in nearly everything from children's toys to kitchen appliances (yes again) and media devices. The purchasers of these new technology-enabled products are far from security experts, or even security aware. Their primary purchasing requirements are ease of use.
regarding embargoes
Yesterday I jumped the gun committing some patches to LibreSSL. We receive advance copies of the advisory and patches so that when the new OpenSSL ships, we're ready to ship as well. Between the time we receive advance notice and the public release, we're supposed to keep this information confidential. This is the embargo. During the embargo time we get patches lined up and a source tree for each cvs branch in a precommit state. Then we wait with our fingers on the trigger.
What happened yesterday was I woke up to a couple OpenBSD developers talking about the EBCDIC CVE. Oh, it's public already? Check the OpenSSL git repo and sure enough, there are a bunch of commits for embargoed issues. Pull the trigger! Pull the trigger! Launch the missiles! Alas, we didn't look closely enough at the exact issues fixed and had missed the fact that only low severity issues had been made public. The high severity issues were still secret. We were too hasty.

Tracing Microconference Accepted into 2016 Linux Plumbers Conference
After taking a break in 2015, Tracing is back at Plumbers this year! Tracing is heavily used throughout the Linux ecosystem, and provides an essential method for extracting information about the underlying code that is running on the system. Although tracing is simple in concept, effective usage and implementation can be quite involved.
Ubuntu Online Summit
There's a fundamental difference between conferences for community-driven projects and closed-source commercial software. While Microsoft, Apple and other large companies hold regular meetings to keep developers updated, the information almost always flows in one direction. They (the software owners) tell us (the software users) what they are working on and what they are about to release. These releases almost always come out of the blue often leave the developer community scrabbling to catch up.

How to campaign for the cause of software freedomSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Friday 6th of May 2016 09:18:51 AM Filed under
Free Software communities produce tons of great software. This software drives innovation and enables everybody to access and use computers, whether or not they can afford new hardware or commercial software. So that's that, the benefit to society is obvious. Everybody should just get behind it and support it. Right? Well, it is not that easy. Especially when it comes to principles of individual freedom or trade-offs between self-determination and convenience, it is difficult to communicate the message in a way that it reaches and activates a wider audience. How can we explain the difference between Free Software and services available at no cost (except them spying at you) best? Campaigning for software freedom is not easy. However, it is part of the Free Software Foundation Europe's mission. The FSFE teamed up with Peng! Collective to learn how to run influential campaigns to promote the cause of Free Software. The Peng Collective is a Berlin based group of activists who are known for their successful and quite subversive campaigns for political causes. And Endocode? Endocode is a sponsor of the Free Software Foundation Europe. We are a sponsor because free software is essential to us, both as a company and as members of society. And so here we are.
Samsung debuts an Artik IoT cloud platform and IDESubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Friday 6th of May 2016 08:53:12 AM Filed under
At the Samsung Developer Conference in San Francisco last week, Samsung was all about the Internet of Things, and its Artik IoT modules got lots of love.
Surprisingly, much of Samsung's focus at its developer conference did not revolve around Tizen or SmartThings. Instead, the main focus was on its newly shipping Artik embedded modules, which ship with Fedora.
There was some Tizen related news, however, including a new "Smart View" SDK for improving mobile connectivity with Tizen-based Smart TVs, as well as a promise to bring Knox security support to Tizen. There were also more details on the upcoming, 64-bit capable Tizen 3.0.
GNOME 3.20.2 stable tarballs due (responsible: fredp)Submitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Friday 6th of May 2016 08:50:54 AM Filed under
Hello all,
Tarballs are due on 2016-05-09 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 3.20.2
stable release, which will be delivered on Wednesday. Modules which
were proposed for inclusion should try to follow the unstable schedule
so everyone can test them. Please make sure that your tarballs will
be uploaded before Monday 23:59 UTC: tarballs uploaded later than that
will probably be too late to get in 3.20.2. If you are not able to
make a tarball before this deadline or if you think you'll be late,
please send a mail to the release team and we'll find someone to roll
the tarball for you!

BUENOS AIRES Diego Maradona is on the brink of becoming coach of Iraq and wants to take the country to the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil, Argentine agent Hernan Tofoni told Reuters on Thursday.
Maradona, who is acting as a consultant for the UAE club Al Wasl that he used to coach, is awaiting the outcome of a meeting of the Iraqi Football Federation to be held on Friday to discuss the Argentine's candidacy for their vacancy.
"Diego is really enthused and phones us every day. He doesn't just want to coach (Iraq) for the next six months but long term," said Tofoni, who is heading up talks with Iraq for the Argentine company World Eleven.
"He is excited by the fact that it's a challenge and that he'd be going to replace Zico," added Tofoni, referring to the Brazil great who quit as Iraq's coach last month.
Tofoni, a registered FIFA agent, said he put Maradona's name on the table when Iraq approached World Eleven looking for an Argentine coach and "they liked the idea".
He said there would be no obstacles for Maradona to leave Al Wasl, where he coached for 14 months until last July, to take up the Iraqi post.
Iraq have played at one World Cup finals, in 1986 in Mexico where Maradona led Argentina to their second title.
The Middle Eastern nation are third in Group B in the fourth round of Asian World Cup qualifiers. Japan lead with 13 points from five matches, while Iraq are equal on five points with second-placed Australia, who have a match in hand, and Oman.
The 52-year-old Maradona, one of the greatest players, has a modest record as coach.
Although he led Argentina to the World Cup finals in 2010, his side lost 4-0 to Germany in the quarter-finals. (Writing by Rex Gowar in London, editing by Alan Baldwin)

The Secret Deal at Costco for Non-Members
Shopping Advice from The Kitchn
Costco is a go-to for family-size everything. Do you need a 25-pound bag of flour? An eight-pack of ribeye steaks? This superstore has it. And if you're feeding a family and have the storage space to keep items you purchase in bulk, there are some real savings to be found.
But the best bargain probably isn't what you'd expect — and you don't even have to be a member.
What's Your Best Advice for Drinking Less (Without Losing Your Social Life)?
Micro Resolutions for 2016
It's a new year, and while it feels like winter just hit the Midwest, I have a fear. At some point, poncho season will end. No longer will I get away with a shapeless cape and sweatpants (I mean, um, leggings) to cover that holiday weight. I'm not much of a dieter (I love food too much), and I tried the gym thing last year, but we all know what happened there.
The solution? Cut back on booze.
The Kitchn's Most Popular Drinks of 2015
Recipes from The Kitchn
Give us fruit, give us fizz, and don't forget a splash of something boozy. This year sangria, pitcher cocktails, and one creamy, dreamy milkshake stole the show when it came to the things we loved to stir, shake, sip, and pour.
A Sangria Recipe for Christmas
Delicious Links
The presents have been wrapped, the cookies have been baked, and the stockings have been hung. The only thing you still need to do is decide on a drink for Friday's festivities. How about a Christmas sangria, with white wine, ginger beer, and apple cider?
Tiny Video: Boozy Nutella Hot Chocolate
Tiny Videos from The Kitchn
There are a million ways to dress up your hot chocolate for the holidays, but the best method probably involves copious amounts of booze and Nutella. Hurry up and grab your coziest blanket and that nice pair of slippers, and make this drink immediately.
This Apple-Cranberry Moscow Mule Is a Perfect Thanksgiving Cocktail

Give help for U.S. needs first
I own a small business. I don't usually get involved in politics, but I feel this time I have to say I am ticked off. Why are we giving the Palestinians $900 million when we have people here in the United States losing their homes and businesses and starving? This is ridiculous. Wouldn't it make more sense to keep that money at home and get our butts out of hot water before we go help to rebuild a country that we had absolutely nothing at all to do with its destruction? The Israelis destroyed the Gaza Strip. Let them rebuild it like we always do after we destroy a country. Give that money to the American people and let them rebuild their own economy before going to help a country that would rather see us dead and buried.
