In a sense, likelihood works backwards from probability: given B, we use the conditional probability P(A | B) to reason about A, and, given A, we use the likelihood function P(A | B) to reason about B. This mode of reasoning is formalized in Bayes' theorem; note the appearance of a likelihood function for B given A in:
since, as functions of B, both P(A|B) and P(A|B)/P(A) are likelihood functions for B given A.
For more about making inferences via likelihood functions, see also the method of maximum likelihood, and likelihood-ratio testing.
Likelihood function of a parametrized model[édit | édit sumber]
Among many applications, we consider here one of broad theoretical and practical importance. Given a parametrized family of probability density functions
where θ is the parameter (in the case of discrete distributions, the probability density functions are probability "mass" functions) the likelihood function is
where x is the observed outcome of an experiment. In other words, when f(x | θ) is viewed as a function of x with θ fixed, it is a probability density function, and when viewed as a function of θ with x fixed, it is a likelihood function.
Note: This is not the same as the probability that those parameters are the right ones, given the observed sample. Attempting to interpret the likelihood of a hypothesis given observed evidence as the probability of the hypothesis is a common error, with potentially disastrous real-world consequences in medicine, engineering or jurisprudence. See prosecutor's fallacy for an example of this.
Conto[édit | édit sumber]
For example, if I toss a coin, with a probability pH of landing heads up ('H'), the probability of getting two heads in two trials ('HH') is pH2. If pH = 0.5, then the probability of seeing two heads is 0.25.
In symbols, we can say the above as
Another way of saying this is to reverse it and say that "the likelihood of pH = 0.5 given the observation 'HH' is 0.25", i.e.,
- .
But this is not the same as saying that the probability of pH = 0.5 given the observation is 0.25.
To take an extreme case, on this basis we can say "the likelihood of pH = 1 given the observation 'HH' is 1". But it is clearly not the case that the probability of pH = 1 given the observation is 1: the event 'HH' can occur for any pH > 0 (and often does, in reality, for pH roughly 0.5).
The likelihood function does not in general follow all the axioms of probability: for example, the integral of a likelihood function is not in general 1. This is because integration of the likelihood density function L is performed over all possible values of the model parameters (in this case, pH), while integration of a probability density function f is performed over the random variables (which in this case take on the four pairs of values 'TT', 'TH', 'HT' and 'HH'). In this example, the integral of the likelihood density over the interval [0, 1] in pH is 1/3, demonstrating again that the likelihood density function cannot be interpreted as a probability density function for pH. On the other hand, given any particular value of pH, e.g. pH=0.5, the integral of the probability density function over the domain of the variabel acaks is 1.

Weekend transactions
Posted at 7:53 PM on April 28, 2007 by Bob Collins
I didn't get a chance to add in a bunch of bills passed by the Senate until today, I also added in a few passed by the House yesterday and conducted the waiver draft, which wasn't too difficult since only one team -- AFSCME Got Votes -- filed any waiver claims. There was, however, a trade between Minnetonka and Rusty Lohmans. All transactions are on the respective league transactions pages.
I see a few teams seem to be dropping senators they just picked up a few weeks ago, just before the barrage of points as the Senate worked its way down the general orders. While it may be true, there may not be many TF and FP (To Floor/Floor Passage) points in the immediate future (although it sure doesn't look like things are slowing down, those bills are heading over to the House, so there's an OC (other chamber) bonanza out there still to come.

Over the past several weeks, concerns regarding the safety of the Buffalo State College community have been raised, mainly in response to media attention that has been given to off-campus and on-campus security incidents involving our students. The cumulative impact of these events has resulted in a misperception about the safety of our campus and has overshadowed the fact that Buffalo State is a safe place to study, work and visit.
Buffalo State is an open, urban 125-acre campus, connected to and surrounded by the City of Buffalo's West Side neighborhoods. Located in the heart of the city's vibrant museum district in the Elmwood-Grant corridor, our faculty and staff members and students are proud to work and live in such a culturally rich and diverse city.
Without question, Buffalo State places the highest priority on the safety of our 12,000 students, including more than 2,500 resident students and 1,700 faculty and staff members. Given the size of the campus population and the number of students living on campus, we have given special attention to developing a comprehensive security approach and have preventative measures in place to provide the safest environment possible for our college community.
In fact, in recent years, Buffalo State has experienced a decrease in on-campus crime. From 2009 to 2011, violent crime decreased 20 percent and it appears we are on track for further reduction in the current year. Property crime decreased even more by a remarkable 33 percent from 2008 to 2011. Based on the college's Annual Security Report, off-campus crimes involving Buffalo State students have also shown a decrease. Yet the attention received pertaining to the recent safety occurrences nearby and on-campus has led to speculation that these incidents are happening at Buffalo State with greater frequency.
As an urban-based institution, we are committed to community policing and working closely with area law enforcement agencies to proactively address crime and safety issues. However, we are also cognizant that even with the array of safety initiatives and procedures we have established, the expectation of a completely crime-free environment is improbable on our campus, as it is at any other large university in the country.
All of us at Buffalo State take very seriously the concerns about the safety of our students, faculty and staff members. We will continue to review our safety practices to take every possible precaution to further enhance the security of our entire campus community. As a whole, our faculty, staff and students are proud to be a part of this dynamic city and enjoy the many nearby museums, trendy cafes, restaurants, shops, parks and other great assets in the area.
Aaron Podolefsky, Ph.D., is president of Buffalo State and has authored books on crime prevention in urban America.

Microsoft Corp. joined its partners in revealing nine new Windows Phone 7 handsets that will be available this holiday season from leading mobile operators in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific . With more than 60 mobile operators in over 30 countries worldwide committed to bringing Windows Phones to market, the millions of people around the world looking for a phone that plays as hard as it works will have a variety of phones from leading device-makers to choose from.
"We have a beautiful lineup in this first wave of Windows Phone 7 handsets," said Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer at Microsoft. "Microsoft and its partners are delivering a different kind of mobile phone and experience - one that makes everyday tasks faster by getting more done in fewer steps and providing timely information in a 'glance and go' format."
Global Portfolio
Microsoft and its partners have worked together closely to create a different kind of phone with new experiences that bring together what people care about most. Windows Phone 7 will be available in a variety of sleek form factors from device-makers such as Dell, HTC Corp., LG and Samsung, and from mobile operators including America Movil, AT&T, Deutsche Telekom AG, Movistar, O2, Orange, SFR, SingTel, Telstra, TELUS, T-Mobile USA and Vodafone. All Windows Phone 7 phones will include the high-performance Snapdragon(TM) processor from Qualcomm. A broad selection of phones will begin shipping in holiday 2010 with more arriving in 2011, including phones from Sprint and Verizon. In addition, select models will be available at Microsoft Store locations and from Amazon.
Windows Phone 7, Glance and Go
In today's busy world we are spending more time heads-down on our phones than interacting with the people we're sitting next to and missing out on important life moments. Windows Phone 7 was designed to deliver a mobile experience that has the phone working better for people, bringing together the things they care about most and helping them to get things done faster.
Windows Phone 7 breaks the current smartphone convention to help people quickly and easily find and consume data, information and services from the Web and applications. The new phones are distinguished by unique design and integrated experiences built from Microsoft's deep portfolio such as Xbox LIVE, Microsoft Office Mobile, Zune, Windows Live, Bing and more.
For example, the customizable Start screen with Live Tiles is a personal experience, showing people their own content. The Live Tiles come to life with real-time updates from the Web such as news, appointments or the status of friends. New Live Tiles can be easily created from whatever content a consumer wants, such as applications, websites and music.
Fueling New Experiences
Windows Phone 7 marks a new era in mobile gaming as the first phone to put the power of Xbox LIVE into the palm of people's hands with a blockbuster lineup of game titles from award-winning publishers. In addition to the titles already announced earlier this year, Electronic Arts Inc. (EA) announced the first wave of EA games coming to Windows Phone 7 this fall. As part of Microsoft's managed portfolio of Xbox LIVE titles, all EA games for Windows Phone 7 will be Xbox LIVE-enabled. EA will deliver a portfolio of titles that offers something for every mobile gamer, from casual to core, including "Need for Speed(TM)Undercover," "Tetris(R)" and "The Sims(TM) 3."
Windows Phone 7 is also the first to offer the Zune music experience on a phone: People can play their music collection, synced wirelessly from their PC, or stream or download new tunes from Windows Marketplace. An optional Zune Pass subscription is available.
Search is made easier with a dedicated button to help people find what they need, whether in contacts, in Marketplace, in e-mail or on the Web. From the Start screen, the Search button delivers Bing for mobile, delivering Web results, local information, maps, directions and more.
The Windows Live solution helps people manage pictures, Windows Live calendar, Office OneNote Mobile and more. The free Find My Phone service new on Windows Live can remotely ring, lock, erase and show the location of your phone on a map. Complete information about Windows Phone 7 features and capabilities can be found at http://www.windowsphone.com.
Other IT news about Microsoft

In the late 1980s, Dr. Benjamin Dolgin of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory developed a concept for a high-damping graphite/viscoelastic material for the Strategic Defense Initiative (popularly referred to as Star Wars), as part of a space-based laser anti-missile program called Asterix. Dolgin drummed up this concept with the intention of stabilizing weapons launch platforms in space, where there is no solid ground to firmly support these structures. Without the inclusion of high-damping material, the orbital platforms were said to vibrate for 20 minutes after force was applied a rate deemed unacceptable by leaders of the Strategic Defense Initiative.
Dolgin's proposal for a high-damping graphite/viscoelastic material actually lay dormant for nearly 5 years after he conceived it, until it became the topic of doctoral studies for Dr. William Pratt, a Brigham Young University scholar who would later head up Patterned Fiber Composites, Inc. Pratt took the concept to the next level and discovered a practical method for manufacturing wavy graphite composite technology to dampen, or restrain, structural vibration. In 1998, the U.S. Air Force awarded Pratt and his Pleasant Grove, Utah-based company a 3-year Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to further develop this research and come up with an improved means for dampening space structures. In addition, Pratt received an exclusive license to use the NASA concept invented by Dolgin for commercial manufacturing of graphite composite products.
When the shaft is placed under load, opposing waves from its wavy fiber composite layers cause a significant amount of shear stress in the viscoelastic adhesive sandwiched between these layers. This greatly enhanced shearing of the viscoelastic is what causes high damping in the structure. The shearing action causes stretching of the long chain polymers in the viscoelastic to not only create the high-damping effect, but to generate heat and dissipate energy for longer drives off of the tee.
The Wave Shaft the first of several golf products developed by Pratt under the NASA license is currently available from New Revolution Golf , a spinoff company of Patterned Fiber Composites. When ball contact is made with a golf club featuring a Wave Shaft, it takes just 0.6 seconds for any vibrations to die out, compared with at least 15.7 seconds for the vibrations in conventional graphite shafts; steel shafts have even less damping and take at least twice as long as graphite shafts to stop vibrating. New Revolution Golf's Wave Shaft offers extraordinary damping in two directions: twist (torsion) and flex (bending). By the time a club breaks the horizontal on the down-swing, the Wave Shaft's high damping has eliminated all the erratic twisting and bending, further preventing fluttering or wobbling in the club's head. This self-adjusting stiffness phenomenon allows for consistent, controlled contact between the club and the ball. The Wave Shaft still flexes and whips as one would expect, but at impact it stiffens as much as 17 percent to impart greater energy to the ball. The stiffness also prevents head lag during the impact, as well as any lag-induced backspin, and gives a driver more loft.
New Revolution Golf clubs are shaving strokes off of many golfers games, including an editor for Golf Today magazine who recently tested two models and immediately found a new love for his golf bag. According to the editor, who experienced his longest drive ever when using New Revolution Golf's driver: For the first time in my life, I felt the harder I would swing, the more kick the shaft would create with no noticeable torque at all, even when I purposely hit the ball way out on the toe of the club head. It felt as though the club head accelerated past my hands at impact. While many golfers are recognizing the technology for its distance, others are touting it for its control, like a Professional Golfers Association (PGA) head golf professional from Arizona, who claims that the ball flight after impact with a Wave Shaft-equipped club is the straightest he had ever seen, not only for himself, but others.
There are many other areas where the wavy composite material developed by NASA and Pratt could be successfully applied. Patterned Fiber Composites has proposed using the damping technology to eliminate resonance problems in helicopter drive shafts and in fan drive shafts for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Pratt also has unfinished business in extending the technology to everyday consumers, as he is hard at work on a line of skis and a quiet hard disk drive for personal computers.

manipulating "arg" - function(char* arg) without returning it[C,freebsd7.1,gcc]
As the title of the topic is not so clear, now here i can clear my problem...
I have a program source code, main.c . In which i m intending to do following thing with out changing the source code...
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc,char **argv)
char* backup;
char* arg = argv && argc > 0 ? argv[1] : NULL;
if (strcmp(arg, backup) != 0)
printf("Yeah! u success; as u have manipulated arg");
printf("You Failed!; no change in arg; arg and backup both are same");
void foo(char *arg)
arg="what can i do in it :( ??????? " ;
I am beginner in C, I want to do some thing in this funtion so i would be able to change the arg, without returning arg from this method, as i m not supposed to change in the main method, i can only do things in foo function.
waiting for ur suggestions..
thanks for your concentration.
I m using freebsd7.1 and compiler is gcc.
Re: manipulating "arg" - function(char* arg) without returning it[C,freebsd7.1,gcc]
> backup=arg
All you're doing here is setting backup equal to the POINTER to the argument. So strcmp(arg,backup) will ALWAYS be zero even if you've successfully changed the text.
I don't think you should be trying to change the argv[] text; this is provided so you can know what options the user gave you at the command line. If you want to manipulate these, copy them to your own memory structures then you can do whatever you like with them.
Re: manipulating "arg" - function(char* arg) without returning it[C,freebsd7.1,gcc]
thanks for your reply
yes actually this foo funciton is in another file; which is used as shared library. but purpose of my post is to manipulating the arg char*, in the function foo as i m not allowed to have any return value from function the only thing, that i can do is to pass the arg as a parameter in the function, as i m passing in my function.
Note: I m intending to make a change in the same arg, which should be change after calling of foo function in main.
Re: manipulating "arg" - function(char* arg) without returning it[C,freebsd7.1,gcc]
If it's the arg char* that you want to manipulate then you have to pass in the address of the pointer; C is pass by value only, so when you want to modify the thing passed in then you have to pass its address in. Do you mean you want to change the pointer to the string or the string pointed to?
What if the pointer passed in is NULL?
Seems odd you aren't "allowed" to return a value from a function. Why is that? What is the function supposed to do? I'm sure the people preventing you returning a value won't want you to modify argv[] either; this doesn't make a lot of sense. So maybe if you can outline the purpose of the function that would clarify why you want to do what you want to.

Target Announces Summer Cyber Week, the new Christmas in July
Some of you might be interested to know that Target is having some special deals this week (from now until July 28th) to help promote summer entertaining. Although I don't like everything Target does, and I'm not shy about saying so, I do think this is a worthy idea. Many of us don't pay for expensive vacations anymore, preferring staycations instead. With temperatures still soaring around the US, I like the idea of getting a few inexpensive items to upgrade your home space and make it more comfortable. This weeks deals include: buy one, get one 50 percent off and deep discounts on summer entertainment, baby gear, apparel, games, furniture and more. Here's the full list of what the deals will be this week.
- Sunday, July 22 summer entertaining deals (includes patio & garden)
- Monday, July 23 baby deals
- Tuesday, July 24 spend & save sitewide
- Wednesday, July 25 buy one, get one 50% off
- Thursday, July 26 fun & games deals
- Friday, July 27 summer essentials deals
- Saturday, July 28 home deals
Target used to call this Christmas in July, but I like Summer Cyber Week better. Really, there's no such thing as Christmas in July when the world is in the clutches of heat and drought.

4 Crappy Ideas Everyone Thinks Are Brilliant
#2. The Story
Jupiterimages/Stockbyte/Getty Images
They say everyone has a story to tell. This is like saying every person alive has 3 tablespoons of blood in them: It's technically true, but there's a lot more where that came from. Humans are made of stories. Hell, that "abstract thinking" thing is kind of our whole deal as a species.
But I'm not talking about just any story. I'm talking about the story, the one big tale everyone has either tucked away or laid out in the open. Defining that story is pretty easy: It's the tale you want to tell the most. It may not be the biggest idea you'll ever have, but in many ways it's the most important -- an idea of you, if you will.
The Story isn't any particular length or format. It can even change over time: There's no telling if the grumpy old spoilsport you'll be in 20 years' time will appreciate that 1,000-page treatise on wrestling-themed porn.
Some of us choose to keep this particular idea to ourselves. Others start a blog, or make crazy ass statues, or enroll in acting classes and take that shit to stage. If you feel like it, by all means turn yours into a screenplay and write the lead role for a past star who has fallen out of the limelight in order to revitalize his career. Shit, go nuts and painstakingly craft it to form an exact 3D replica of him when you print it out, I don't even care. It's your story.
Robin Marchant/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Although you are making a terrible mistake, for that is how he breeds.
That's the whole point: Regardless of how we choose to express it, we all have that one big idea constantly churning in the back of our minds, the single creative thing no one can take away from us no matter what.
The Problem:
You're constantly running a risk of being imprisoned by your story.
The thing about having a Thing is that sometimes you wind up getting taken over by that thing (and occasionally also by the Thing). Having a definitive idea can lead to a situation where said idea ends up defining you. If your story is all about your children and you've mostly expressed it via baby photo spamming and telegraphing your mom/dad moves so everyone can see that you're a parent, great. Still, there's a good chance that's going to be your defining trait, and 35 years later you'll still call your kid every day to see if he's wearing his scarf despite the fact that said scarf is now a beard, everyone else is calling him Murder Pug, and he can simultaneously ride two different Harleys with a contraption he made from femurs and hate. If you're fine with this, good for you! Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise (unless they have a badge). If you're not, well, that's just tough. That's still your lot in life if you willfully typecast yourself.
Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
As a greedy businessman, obviously.
The risk of typecasting applies to everyone, and it's really not so much a risk as it is a cold certainty. As David Wong has pointed out, what the world sees of you will ultimately wind up defining their idea of you. Aspects of George R.R. Martin's definitive story (becoming a renowned writer by doing what he loves) include many other elements besides A Song of Ice and Fire. Had things gone differently, the George Martin Story might still be the same in his head, but to us, it would be "that weird guy with the tugboat captain's hat who's always talking about murdering literary characters." It works the other way around, too: A humble, downtrodden McDonald's worker is just one apartment fire and a saved baby away from becoming the hero he's always been in his story in the eyes of the rest of the world.
See, this is one of those things that make Homo sapiens the undisputed clusterfuck king of the planet. And probably also the reason why dogs opt to tell their stories by sniffing each other's butts.
#1. The Shower Idea
Hoby Finn/Photodisc/Getty Images
Go ask anyone where they had their last good idea. Chances are either they'll say it was in the shower or they're lying.
There are several reasons why showers are such idea magnets: You wash yourself more or less on autopilot, so your mind is free to wander. Combined with the dopamine release triggered by the cozy, enclosed place and warm water, this creates the perfect environment for some heavy duty idea-mongerin'. Well, that's what scientists say, anyway. Personally, I've always suspected that getting naked under an artificially heated man-made waterfall and lathering your carcass with surfactants boiled from dead plant and animal drippings causes the universe to lob ideas at you in a desperate effort to make you stop that shit.
Still, whatever the reasons behind its magic, the shower is the perfect idea booster that is very, very difficult to get wrong.
Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
If it doesn't work, call a plumber. If this happens, call a druid.
The Problem:
There is one significant downside to showering. Your ideas are pretty much confined to a single tiny room-coffin, and it just happens to be the one place in the house where it's almost impossible to take notes. Leave the shower, and there's a good chance the idea will be gone in a gust of cold air and discomfort by the time you've toweled off.
Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com/Getty Images
Alternate complaint: All those light bulbs are a real health hazard in a wet environment.
With this in mind, I would like to propose a new worldwide business model for workplaces everywhere. Let's make showers part of our daily work culture. Let's install shower booths in every office, meeting room, and hallway. You know what, forget booths -- let's just cut out the middleman and make everywhere showers. We can keep one small room in each house (the former bathroom, of course) dedicated to boring dryness, where we'd occasionally venture to type down our constant quality ideas. I want this to happen because even the most tedious, soul-sucking multihour meeting would become swift and effective, for there is no human being alive that can willingly sit in a room with a bunch of nude, pasty-ass office workers longer than a few minutes. I want this to happen because everyone's brain would constantly be in maximum creative mode, cranking out quality ideas for the meager price of senselessly wasting priceless natural resources 24/7.
But mostly I want this to happen because it would give me an excuse to finally stop wearing pants at work.

There is such a thing as good, tough football. And then there is felonious assault. The NFL, fearing multimillion-dollar lawsuits, has long been waging an unjust war against the former. Now, in dropping daisy-cutters on the New Orleans Saints for their money-to-maim scheme, the NFL has launched a just war against the latter.
The facts of this story are now well known and the perpetrators are not denying guilt.
What happened is that Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, over the course of years, ran a program in which players were given financial bonuses for hurting opposing players. This program, which existed with the full knowledge of head coach Sean Payton, doled out $1,500 for knocking an opponent unconscious and $1000 for causing an opponent to be carted off the field.
Moreover, Saints defensive captain Jonathan Vilma offered a $10,000 purse to anybody who knocked then-Vikings quarterback Bret Favre out of the 2010 NFC Championship game.
As punishment for this institutionalized criminality, Payton is gone from the league for one season, Williams is suspended indefinitely, Saints general manager Mickey Loomis is suspended for the first eight games of the 2012 season, and assistant head coach Joe Vitt is suspended for the first six games.
The Saints will lose two second-round draft picks into the bargain.
Additionally, the guilty quartet will be required to participate in crafting programs that will encourage sportsmanship, respect for the game of football, and that will inveigh against bounties.
With the exception of the latter, which is tantamount to placing the reverend Jeremiah Wright in charge of cultivating American patriotism, these punishments are condign. The punishments are severe, but so are the crimes.
Now football is a sport rooted in violence, and at some level we all know that players aim to damage their opponents. Colts linebacker Gino Marchetti allegedly taped a piece of angle iron inside of his forearm pad with the intention of using it to incapacitate the enemy.
Michigan State and eventual NFL safety Jess Phillips wrapped his forearm with so much tape that it formed a club. Phillips termed his rude truncheon "the Devil."
And there have been countless other NFL players, from Jack Tatum to Conrad Dobler to Ndamukong Suh, who earned reputations for their willingness to physically harm opponents with cheap shots.
To some extent, we as fans and observers encourage this behavior. We cheer more lustily for vicious hits than we do for touchdowns. We venerate the most savage hitters. And we like it when our teams and players intimidate the opposition (Red Raiders need look no further than the adulation heaped upon former Tech knockout artist Dwayne Slay for confirmation of this fact).
But there is a qualitative difference between the unspoken reality that players try to destroy one another on the one hand, and people in position of authority paying their players to break rules and bones on the other.
When coaches, who are held to much higher moral standards than players, contract hit men to take out the opposition, they make a mockery of the rules that govern the sport.
Sean Payton, Gregg Williams, Mickey Loomis and Joe Vitt are the NFL equivalent of dirty cops. Rather than uphold the moral and nomothetic integrity of the NFL and professional football, they worked to subvert it.
That sort of behavior, left unchecked, has the potential to not only ruin the NFL's reputation, but to render the game an anarchical free-for-all in which serious injury is not only possible but likely. Roger Goodell and the NFL brass not only had to nip this offshoot in the bud, they had to lop off the entire poisonous branch. For the good of the game, they did just that.

The 31-year-old man accused of suffocating his Staten Island girl friend's husband in May, then moving in with her and the dead man's children, told cops he's been "living in hell" since the slaying.
"I been living with a soul that hasn't rested properly," Julio Diaz, 31, said in a written statement to police about the May 10 murder of 32-year-old Jason Garcia. "I been living in hell ever since."
Police believe the 6 foot, 1 inch, 260 pound Diaz beat and choked the significantly smaller Garcia inside the couple's Brookfield Avenue house, then wrapped his head in a plastic bag to suffocate him. Garcia's wife, Nicole, then helped Diaz dispose of her husband's body by dumping him near the entrance of Great Kills Park, police allege.
Diaz, who's being held without bail on second-degree murder charges, described the slaying in a two-page written statement obtained by the Advance today.
His version of events contradicts some key points in a written statement Garcia's wife, Nicole, gave to investigators.
Mrs. Garcia claimed that she left the room while the Diaz and Garcia struggled, then found him wrapped in a blanket when she returned. Diaz said, though, that Mrs. Garcia brought out the garbage bags and tape they used to wrap up her husband's head, and helped roll up Garcia with the blanket.
Mrs. Garcia is being held on $500,000 bail, charged with tampering with evidence and hindering prosecution.
Diaz said Mrs. Garcia picked him up from Brooklyn just after midnight, and drove him to her house on Brookfield Avenue.
"Jason was sleeping, she woke him up to confront him in front of me. Reason being fighting and arguing," Diaz wrote. "I started speaking with him and he started with his hands. We got into a scuffle, he dropped over the small table by the computer area in between the couches.
"He wasn't moving and I went over to him and checked his vital signs and then saw that his signs were weak so I then asked Nicole Garcia to call for help," Diaz continued. "She stood there stiff as a board, then got a blanket, (threw) it on the floor and helped me roll him over into it."
Authorities believe Garcia was still alive at the time, and the plastic bag wrapped around his head ultimately finished him off.
