E. Howard Hunt
Howard St. John Hunt, the son of super-spook E. Howard Hunt is now peddling a story that his father rejected an offer to take part in plot by rogue CIA agents to kill President Kennedy. Isn't it about time a congressional committee finds out what the CIA's role was in the assassination?
by Don Fulsom
Was a key Richard Nixon cohort in past and future covert intelligence operations – then-CIA agent E. Howard Hunt – in Dallas the day President Kennedy was killed in 1963? During a 1985 libel trial brought by Hunt against Spotlight – a newsletter owned by rightwing Liberty Lobby – for publishing an article in August of 1978 written by former CIA agent Victor Marchetti entitled "CIA to Admit Hunt Involvement in Kennedy Slaying," CIA operative Marita Lorenz swore she saw Hunt in Dallas the night before the assassination; Hunt co-worker Walter Kuzmuk at the CIA said he could not recall having seen Hunt between November 18th and sometime in December of 1963; and Joseph Trento, a reporter for the Wilmington News & Journal, insisted he had once seen an internal CIA memo that said, "Someday we will have to explain Hunt's presence in Dallas on November 22, 1963." Hunt, by the way, lost the case.
Most notorious for directing Nixon's Watergate burglary, Hunt died at 88 in January, 2007, in Miami. But Hunt's son – Howard St. John (known as "St. John") Hunt of Eureka, Calif., – is now peddling a story that his dad rejected an offer to take part in plot by rogue CIA agents to kill President Kennedy.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, St. John Hunt does admit to telling previous lies about his dad's whereabouts on that fateful day. He says he was instructed by Hunt in 1974 to back up an alibi for his whereabouts. "I did a lot of lying for my father in those days," St. John confessed. E. Howard Hunt's most frequently used alibi for that day was that he was at his Potomac, Maryland home watching TV with his children.
Yet, asked in a Slate interview in 2004 about "conspiracy theories about your being in Dallas the day JFK was killed," E. Howard Hunt nervously replied "No comment."
St. John Hunt, now 52, says his dad left him with enough juicy material about the JFK assassination to fill a book – and that he hopes to do just that. The material, St. John says, was cut from his dad's recent memoir, American Spy: My Secret History in the CIA, Watergate and Beyond, because the elder Hunt's attorney was worried he could face perjury charges if he recanted sworn testimony.
Does St. John think his planned book will reflect badly on his father? "I don't think it was terrible that he was approached (with the assassination plot) and turned them down," he told the newspaper. In his memoir, E. Howard Hunt suggested that Vice President Lyndon Johnson might have headed the plot to murder JFK.
Though Johnson disliked the Kennedys – especially Bobby – and profited most from President Kennedy's murder, few scholars believe LBJ was in on the conspiracy. Not long ago, the History Channel was forced to yank from its lineup, and apologize for, a program supporting that theory.
In the Los Angeles Times and, later, in Rolling Stone, St. John said his dad definitely alleged that LBJ led the plot. And Rolling Stone printed the names of the men Hunt identified as the main conspirators:
- David Atlee Phillips, a Hunt friend and CIA propaganda expert who first worked with Hunt in helping to overthrow a leftist government in Guatemala in 1954. He was the chief of covert action in Mexico City in 1963. Phillips later ran President Nixon's successful CIA-led campaign to overthrow Chilean President Salvador Allende.
- Cord Meyer, a CIA agent and disinformation specialist. Meyer's beautiful bohemian ex-wife, Mary Pinchot Meyer, had had an affair with JFK. At age 43, Mary was killed by two professionally placed bullets, fired from up close, as she jogged on a canal towpath near the Potomac River in Washington.
- Bill Harvey, a CIA veteran with connections to the failed CIA-backed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, and to Mafia godfathers Santos Trafficante and Sam Giancana.
- Frank Sturgis, a CIA operative and Hunt pal who once boasted to another CIA operative Marita Lorenz that "We killed Kennedy." In 1972, Sturgis was arrested as one of Nixon's Hunt-supervised Watergate burglars.
- David Morales, a CIA agent who helped train Cuban exiles for the Bay of Pigs. He also ran CIA-assassination programs in South America and Vietnam. In a drunken tirade in 1973, he said to his close friend Ruben Carbajal, "We took care of that son of a bitch (President Kennedy), didn't we?"
- Antonio Veciana, a Cuban exile and the founder of the militant CIA-backed "Alpha 66." Veciana told a Senate investigator he once saw alleged JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald talking with a CIA man he knew as "Maurice Bishop" – widely believed to have been David Atlee Phillips's CIA code name.
In Rolling Stone, St. John Hunt also said dad his told him there was a "French gunman" firing from the famed grassy knoll in Dealey Plaza. And he clearly recalled his mother telling him, on Nov. 22 1963, that his dad was on a business trip to Dallas.
Does St. John's tale ring true? Perhaps in that last crucial area – his dad's whereabouts on that dark day. For the most part, however, it could just be that E. Howard Hunt was practicing what was known during Watergate as a "modified limited hang out." John Ehrlichman, the Nixon aide who dealt with the CIA, coined that term. It has come to mean a reluctant partial release of information.
This is only slightly different than what is known at the CIA as a "limited hangout." Former CIA agent Victor Marchetti once defined that term as "spy jargon for a favorite and frequently used gimmick of the clandestine professionals. When their veil of secrecy is shredded and they can no longer rely on a phony cover story to misinform the public, they resort to admitting – sometimes even volunteering – some of the truth while still managing to withhold the key and damaging facts of the case."
Both hangout tactics were used by Hunt many times before. Even while facing death, it seems, his old habits were hard to kick. He appears to have released to his son heaping helpings of disinformation carefully mixed with small portions of the full and true story – a mixture that would paint him in heroic and patriotic hues for the benefit of his family and his own legacy. "E. Howard Hunt Rejected Kennedy Conspirators"! That's the way he might have written the headline. Hunt was a talented writer – the author of scores of spy novels and the ghostwriter of the memoirs of CIA boss Allen Dulles.
The real E. Howard Hunt, however, was a CIA loyalist, a gun-toting super-spook and propaganda expert who was close to Richard Nixon, and to top CIA officials, including Dulles, Richard Helms and James Jesus Angleton. Was he still protecting such men – as well as himself? That seems more reasonable. Even on his deathbed, Hunt was not likely to make a full display of what the agency calls "the family jewels." He was too much of a Company man.
It seems likelier that the old master of disinformation was now blowing a little post-mortem smoke to deflect suspicion away from the real major players behind the JFK murder.
Until his final "confession," E. Howard Hunt was destined to be remembered by history mainly as President Nixon's chief White House spy – a former senior CIA officer who served 33 months in prison for his role as a leader of the Watergate burglary. Now, however, it becomes much easier to at least believe that Hunt was in Dallas on Nov. 22 1963 – just as the jury at the libel suit concluded in that 1985 trial.
What could have been the purpose of Hunt's "business trip" to Dallas? To stop the plot? It seems more logical to believe that Hunt was among the collaborators. The following little-known links between E. Howard Hunt and the JFK assassination seem to support that line of thinking:
- In New Orleans in the early 1960s, Hunt worked out of the same office building – perhaps even the same office – as Lee Harvey Oswald. On behalf of the CIA, Hunt had set up a dummy organization called "The Cuban Revolutionary Council" at 544 Camp Street – the same address Oswald put on pro-Castro leaflets he handed out. That very building, which was close to the local offices of both the CIA and the FBI, also housed the detective agency of former FBI agent Guy Banister, who associated with leaders of the CIA, the Mafia, Cuban exile groups, and with suspected JFK assassination plotter David Ferrie. According to a business acquaintance, Banister himself remarked "on several occasions that someone should do away with Kennedy."
- Banister and all those with whom he rubbed elbows blamed JFK for the failure of the 1961 CIA-backed invasion of Cuba. They felt the president acted in a cowardly fashion in not providing adequate air cover for the exile invaders. Future president Richard Nixon said Kennedy's behavior was "near criminal." All parties were keenly interested in ousting, even killing, Castro.
- Then, there's the handwritten "Dear Mr. Hunt" letter. Famous among JFK assassination researchers, it is dated "Nov. 8, 1963." It reads: "I would like information concerding (sic) my position. I am asking only for information. I am suggesting that we discuss the matter fully before any steps are taken by me or anyone else. Thank you. (signed) Lee Harvey Oswald." The letter, which bears a Mexican postmark, was sent to assassination researcher Penn Jones. According to three handwriting experts, the letter was indeed written by Oswald. Was E. HowardHunt the Hunt addressed in the letter?
It is highly likely that he was. It just so happens that Hunt was the acting CIA station chief in Mexico City at the time Oswald is supposed to have turned up there, according to Hunt's biographer. In Compulsive Spy: The Strange Career of E. Howard Hunt, Tad Szulc also reported that Hunt probably knew something about why the CIA destroyed its audio tapes and photos of a mystery man in Mexico City who purported to be Oswald, but who turned out not be him.
Researcher Joan Mellen argues persuasively in A Farewell to Justice that Oswald was a CIA employee who also worked for the New Orleans FBI office, as well as for U.S. Customs. She claims Oswald was closely connected to CIA-sponsored anti-Castro figures in New Orleans, and with JFK assassination suspects Clay Shaw and David Ferrie.
Back when Nixon was vice president, he and the CIA's Hunt secretly plotted an invasion of Cuba, and favored the murder of Castro. The CIA eventually brought the Mafia into those assassination plots.
In addition, Hunt "helped run operations for Nixon against (Greek shipping tycoon) Aristotle Onassis in the late 1950s, when Nixon was vice president under Eisenhower," according to researchers Robert Groden and Harrison Livingstone. Robert Maheu – a man connected to the CIA, the Mafia, and to Nixon – also took part in those secret anti-Onassis schemes. Maheu later disclosed that Vice President Nixon whispered to him at the time, "If it turns out we have to kill the bastard, just don't do it on American soil."
Guy Banister's secretary and Lee Harvey Oswald's brother are among those who said Oswald was a frequent visitor to Banister's office. Ex-CIA agent Victor Marchetti has linked Hunt (and Hunt's old CIA buddy and fellow future Watergater, Frank Sturgis) to David Ferrie.
Hunt's CIA-connected pal Bernard Barker – known as "Hunt's Shadow" because the two men were so close – was also spotted in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. Assassination witness Seymour Weitzman identified Barker as the man on the grassy knoll who posed as a Secret Service agent and kept people out of the area. Nine years later, under Hunt's supervision, Barker and four other CIA men broke into the Watergate on behalf of President Nixon.
In Mafia Kingfish, Carlos Marcello and the Assassination of John F. Kennedy, Mafia expert John Davis notes that Bernard Barker "had been very much involved with the Cuban Revolutionary Council in Miami, a Cuban exiles group that was closely linked to the Cuban Revolutionary Democratic Front in New Orleans." Davis says New Orleans Mafia godfather Carlos Marcello supported the New Orleans group – with money funnelled to the group through his jack-of-all-trades David Ferrie. Davis adds there are "credible links" between Barker and Jack Ruby, the Dallas striptease club owner who killed Oswald two days after the JFK assassination.
As we have seen, Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis also had JFK assassination links. At the 1985 libel trial involving Hunt's links, CIA operative Marita Lorenz – a former Castro mistress and a friend of Sturgis – placed Sturgis, as well as Hunt and Jack Ruby, at a Dallas CIA "safe house" the night before the assassination.
Sturgis himself admitted being questioned by the FBI shortly after the JFK slaying. He recalled agents telling him, "Frank, if there's anybody capable of killing the President of the United States, you're the guy who can do it."
Believe it or not Richard Nixon was in Dallas on Nov. 22nd. Was he really there for his stated purpose – a PepsiCo convention (Nixon was Pepsi's chief lawyer at the time)? Or could his presence have been some sort of signal to his friends in the Mob and the CIA and among the Cuban exiles – the eventual chief suspects of JFK assassination conspiracy theorists? Chicago Mob boss Sam Giancana proudly told relatives that – as the mastermind of the JFK assassination plot – he was also in Dallas at the time. He claimed he and Nixon had a pre-assassination meeting there to discuss the plot.
Why did Nixon later try to cover up his presence in Dallas that day? Why did he lie to the FBI about it? Why did he express fear to an aide Stephen Hess that he would be blamed for JFK's murder? Why did he tell at least four different versions of how he heard of the assassination? Did he meet with Giancana in Dallas? Or with Hunt? Did he meet there with Jack Ruby – an informer for a young California Congressman Richard Nixon in 1947? Why did Nixon hold a conference of top GOP leaders at his New York apartment about his political future the day after the assassination?
Shouldn't some congressional committee or sharp prosecutor question St. John Hunt under oath? After all, we're talking about the greatest unsolved political crime in American history. What kind of proof does he have to back up his claim? The Los Angeles Times describes as "inconclusive" the materials he produced for them. These materials apparently include a videotape of E. Howard Hunt. Why not subpoena the tape?
And shouldn't some investigative entity grill Hunt's old White House boss, Charles Colson? After all, Colson was present when President Nixon declared in May 1972 that the Warren Commission staged "the greatest hoax that has ever been perpetuated" in finding that Oswald was Kennedy's lone killer. What does Colson know about that particular Nixon comment on a White House tape released in 2002?
And what might Colson know about Nixon's 1972 attempt to gain CIA help in the Watergate cover-up by trying to blackmail CIA chief Richard Helms over the secrets that E. Howard Hunt might blab? Secrets about the CIA's links to "the Bay of Pigs?" Top Nixon aide Bob Haldeman later revealed that "the Bay of Pigs" was Nixon/CIA code for the JFK assassination. Haldeman maintained that the CIA pulled off a "fantastic cover-up" of its role in the JFK assassination.
In 1972, shortly after the Watergate burglary, on Nixon's orders, Haldeman tried to get CIA boss Helms to tell the FBI to stop investigating the break-in on grounds that it could hurt CIA operations. Helms lost his composure when Haldeman mentioned that Hunt's connection to the burglary could re-open "the whole Bay of Pigs thing." According to Haldeman, Helms, "a typically cold-as-a-cucumber, icy, super-spy type guy, came totally unglued … He leaped up in enormous excitement, concern and panic and said, 'This has nothing to do with the Bay of Pigs.'" After calming down, Helms did agree to talk to the FBI.
On Nixon's behalf, aide John Ehrichman made several futile attempts to pry agency "Bay of Pigs" files out of Helms. Ehrlichman's notes show the president wanted the CIA chief to turn over the "full file" because Nixon himself was "deeply involved."
Though he hated confrontations, Nixon had pressed Helms for the "Bay of Pigs" secrets at a meeting back on October 8, 1971. Ehrlichman sat in. His notes quote Nixon as telling Helms: "Purpose of request for documents: must be fully advised in order to know what to duck; won't hurt Agency, nor attack predecessor." Helms answers: "Only one president at a time; I only work for you." Yet the CIA boss never did comply with that particular presidential directive.
A statement made later by Watergate burglar and former CIA operative Frank Sturgis supports the possibility that the "Bay of Pigs" phrase, when used in Nixon's White House, was a euphemism for the JFK assassination. Sturgis said Nixon asked Helms "several times" for "the files on the Kennedy assassination but Helms refused to give it to him, refused a direct order from the president." Sturgis even claimed the Watergate break-in was a CIA operation designed to topple Nixon because the agency felt he was becoming overly interested in the JFK murder.
Backing Sturgis's assertion that the CIA failed to obey Nixon's order is a new Watergate tape of a May 18, 1973 conversation in which Haldeman tells Nixon: "(Helms says the CIA) has nothing to hide in the Bay of Pigs. Well, now, Ehrlichman tells me in just the last few days that isn't true. CIA was very concerned about the Bay of Pigs, and in the investigation apparently he was doing on the Bay of Pigs stuff. At some point, there is a key memo missing that CIA or somebody has caused to disappear that impeded the effort to find out what really did happen on the Bay of Pigs."
There's yet another reason to believe Haldeman's take on the "Bay of Pigs." The CIA's own top-secret report on the invasion – when it was finally declassified in 1998 – disclosed major agency blunders and criticized the failure to inform President Kennedy "success had been dubious." But the report contains absolutely nothing that could be interpreted as sensitive to national security.
"The Bay of Pigs" gets frequent mention on those new Watergate tapes. And the term is usually employed in ways that coincide with Haldeman's decoded translation.
The new tapes are also studded with deletions – segments deemed by government censors as too sensitive for public scrutiny. "National Security" is usually cited. Not surprisingly, such deletions often occur during discussions involving E. Howard Hunt, the Bay of Pigs and John F. Kennedy. Isn't it long past time when these censored sections of the tapes are declassified?
The forewoman of the jury that ruled against E. Howard Hunt in 1985 – Leslie Armstrong – told reporters afterwards that the jurors had faced a "very, very difficult" task because the attorney for the defense, Mark Lane, "wanted us to say our own government had killed our president. We listened to the evidence very carefully. We discussed it. We concluded that the CIA killed President Kennedy; and I call upon the United States government to do something about that."
More than 20 years later, the government still has not done anything about that.
Update 01/25/2009:
After this article was originally published, St. John Hunt conceded that his dad had not told him the entire truth about the JFK assassination.
In what he termed "probably the last interview I'll do," E. Howard Hunt's son said the longtime CIA spy had disclosed only "some of what he knew," and that "it's quite possible" his dad did "minimalize (sic) his role the JFK hit."
"If only I had been able to stay with him longer and we were able to keep our project a secret from the rest of the family I would have been able to get the whole story," St. John told "Waking the Midnight Sun," a Web site devoted to "magic and realism, high weirdness and everyday life."
St. John Hunt blamed his sisters, his father's second wife, and the senior Hunt's lawyer—who kept raising the prospect of lawsuits—for putting pressure on the legendary spy, which "resulted in him withdrawing his efforts to bring the truth out." The junior Hunt called his father's lawyer "a snake and quite possibly a 'handler' for the (CIA)."
Aside from possibly hiding his own role in the JFK assassination, E. Howard Hunt may have "left out" the involvement of CIA Director Richard Helms, St. John said. "My father's loyalty to Helms is well known, and of course we all know that Helms was a master at getting the dirty work done while keeping his own involvement above suspicion."
St. John Hunt also confirmed that his father set up a CIA front called The Cuban Revolutionary Council in New Orleans, and said his father might have met Lee Harvey Oswald in the office building both men reportedly used in there. "Certainly their paths crossed very closely and my father was training Cubans for the invasion in Guatemala around New Orleans."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mask from Cassara Chairs I really like my chairs. I'm very happy I bought the table and chairs. They look great out by my pool. I might even buy some cushions to go with them but I would have to remove them every time it rains. I am a very satisfied customer.

Rated 1 out of 5 by beach girl from Outdoor cushions We recently purchased 4 outdoor Cassara lounges, 6 teak dining chairs and table and 10 cobalt cushions. After the first rain, they were so water logged that we could hardly lift them to turn them over and let them dry. I reread the description of them and no where does it say that they are not to get wet. This is described as outside furniture. After speaking with customer service, I concluded that the only way to keep these 10 cushions is to put them out every morning and move them back in at night or again if it rains. We are 70 and no very strong and this is very stressful. You should change the material in them or change your description. We have spent close to $8000. for something that we have to worry about each day if we want to sit on them, or sit on the teak frames. We are extremely disappointed in this situation. Thank you.

I was given the opportunity to try a new Pre-Workout Supplement called "Epic" from LG Science. What makes Epic different than most other Pre-Workouts? The way it's delivered. Epic is a Liquid that is mainly absorbed while swishing it around in your mouth for 60sec. LG Science calls this an Instant Pre-Workout and they are correct. After playing with the timing, I ended up dosing 5-10min before my workouts for the best results.
Start off with at least a 1/2 dose. I made the mistake and took a full dose first time out during a heavy Deadlift day. About 1hr after my workout, I ended up with blurry vision and could feel a headache coming on. Feeling lasted about 30-45min. I did push it harder than normal and worked up to heavy singles. In the process I hit a new Personal Record of 460lbs. I took a few days off and tried it again on an easier day. This time I only took 1/2 a dose. Worked better this time. I had plenty of energy throughout my workout, but it wasn't a clean energy feeling. Don't get me wrong I was focused and didn't fall short of energy. I just felt anxious. After a few doses or so, that feeling went away. Which I have a decent tolerance to stimulants.
I really didn't like this stuff for the first week or so, but I stuck with it. I kept changing the dosage and timing. After a week or so, I worked up to 3/4 dose (using a shot glass) and 10min before the gym. I never went above that dosage. I didn't need to. I had plenty of energy and that anxious feeling went away.
Over the next couple of weeks I got 4 new Personal Record's for my Deadlifts and 2 for my Squats. I took my Deadlifts from 450 to 500 while trying Epic. My Squats went from 375 to 390. I increased my Total 65lbs in about 4 weeks. I hate to say it, but that's EPIC.
Let's take a closer look at some of the ingredients that are interesting.
Glycerol is a sugar alcohol. Glycerol has claims to increase blood volume and improve exercise performance. It also has an incredible ability to bind with water and hydrate better than water. Hyper hydration before exercising can reduce, or eliminate the side effects of dehydration. You might notice you will become more vascular while using Glycerol. That?s because its ability to pull so much water. It?s pulling water from under the skin into the blood stream and muscles.
DiCreatine malate is a bond of creatine and malic acid which is more readily absorbed by the body better than any other form of creatine. Both elements separately deliver energy to the muscles, and this effect is enhanced when they are combined, resulting in a strong, quick energy burst to the muscles. DiCreatine malate can?t be found in nature and is made in a lab. Better yet DiCreatine has been shown to extend endurance levels, because it delays lactic acid build-up in the muscles. It is also digested by the body better than other Sources of creatine. This results in no bloating.
Beta-alanine is the new Creatine. Unless you have been living under a rock. You have already read or heard a little something of Beta alanine. BA is a non-essential amino acid. BA combined with Creatine has been proven to increase endurance and performance. Athletes have been shown to train harder and longer before fatigue set in. All while reducing body fat.
So over all I'm very impressed with LG Science's new EPIC Pre-Workout. I would recommend it to anyone looking to get the most from their workouts.
My Rating is 8 out of 10. Giving it an 8 for that fact I know it can be a little better. A little less Bitter Orange and more Beta-alanine would make it perfect in my eyes. As it sits right now and after trying everything from Jack3d, Yok3d, Neurocore, Superpump, No-Xplode and many others. Even with the lower dose of BA I'd like to see. Believe this or not. EPIC reminds me of how I felt with taking the Old Ultimate Orange back in the 90's. Even though I believe they don't share any ingredients.
EPIC is my go to Pre-Workout Supplement right now, but I'm always looking for that new supplement to help make be bigger and better.

Facilitation involves the use of techniques to improve the flow of information in a meeting between parties to a dispute. The term facilitator is often used interchangeably with the term mediator, but a facilitator does not typically become as involved in the substantives issues as does a mediator. The facilitator focuses more on the process involved in resolving a matter. The facilitator generally works with all of the participants at once and provides procedural directions as to how the group can efficiently move through the problem-solving steps of the meeting and arrive at the jointly agreed upon goal. The facilitator focuses on procedural assistance and remains impartial to the topics under discussion.

"clean economies"
We are entrepreneurs with diverse interests ranging from crowdsourcing, open source software, sustainable architecture, and clean energy. Within our immediate geographic area, Boston, MA, there is an ideal ecosystem for fostering emerging business models. We think the key element to catalyzing this fortunate mix is a place where people can interact and build on each other's ideas. The common thread in clean economies is an interest in leveraging new technologies to create fresh business models that can contribute positively to society, the environment and a more sustainable economy.
clean economies will be an interactive blog and monthly event that promotes the confluence of ideas, people and technologies. Our audience includes college/graduate students of all concentrations, entrepreneurs, professionals and venture capitalists. Our mission is to create the best possible platform for meaningful conversation. This means designing a forum that fosters open conversation and collaboration between people whose interests, when cross pollinated, produce the fittest ideas.
[We will include winning designers name and link on the bottom of the footer when we finish building the website after this logo and site are designed and coded.]
There are three main audiences. College/graduate students, entrepreneurs, professionals and venture capitalists interested in capitalist ventures that create positive change. Since we are based in Boston, the first event will consist mostly of individuals in the greater Boston region. This means there will be a high population of students (engineering and business), recent grads and VCs. These individuals all share a belief in technology and entrepreneurship as a solution to many of the world's problems.

Look & Feel:
In keeping with the concept of "clean," we want to achieve a clean, yet bold look and feel. Simplicity rules. Examples of aesthetics that we admire are:
IBM's Smarter Planet Campaign (http://tinyurl.com/lkqx7w)
What we like about this is the icons for each section (smart energy, smart government, smart health, etc). They are attractive to us because they speak volumes yet require little attention for readers to understand. This reinforces the theme of simple usability and clean aesthetics.
Spark Capital (http://sparkcapital.com/about)
This "conflux" concept is interesting to us because it also illustrates the combination of three elements. In our case it is ideas, technology and people. A visual similar to this could be very effective in conveying our mission to viewers.
Zen Habits (http://zenhabits.net/)
We are attracted to this look & feel because of its simplicity and openness.

Research Synopsis
The research area of this laboratory is concerned with proteases and their inhibitors in human biology and in various disease processes (thrombosis and cancer). We investigate this area using three different approaches. In the first approach, we perform structure to activity studies with Serpins (serine protease inhibitors) and serine proteases. This research is aimed at understanding the molecular mechanism of protein-protein recognition between proteases and inhibitors (and glycosaminoglycans). In the second approach, we are studying the role(s) of proteases in pathological processes by describing the in vivo localization and molecular regulation of proteases and inhibitors in tissues (and tumor cell lines), especially breast and gynecological cancers. Limited proteolysis is important for normal and abnormal processes, and we are dissecting
My research philosophy is to provide a supportive environment for students (undergraduate, medical and graduate) to perform biomedical research, to allow postdoctoral fellows the opportunity to direct the entire scientific process, and to strive for a caring laboratory family. It is my belief that research should be considered an "apprenticeship", and providing this training is of paramount importance to my career goals. My research is in protein structure-activity relationships, in the molecular basis of disease, and in trying to bridge these two endeavors for development of clinical therapeutics. My overall goal is to be an effective mentor and to provide scholarship and education to everyone in this laboratory.

Orange Grove Power Plant Project
Docket Number:
07-SPPE-02 (Application For Certification)
Project Status: Project Terminated May 7, 2008.
Committee that oversaw Original Licensing Proceeding:
James Boyd, Vice Chair, Presiding Member
Arthur Rosenfeld, Commissioner, Associate Member
Hearing Officer: Kenneth Celli
Key Dates
- 7/19/07 - Project SPPE filed with California Energy Commission
- 5/7/08 - Commission adopts order terminating SPPE proceeding.
Orange Grove Energy, L.P. (OGE) proposes to construct a simple-cycle power plant in northern San Diego County. The project would have a nominal electrical output of 96 megawatts (MW) with construction planned to start in winter 2008 with a six-month construction period. Operation is planned for June 2008. OGE has proposed the project in response to a San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) Request For Offer for new peaking resources for supporting reliability of the local electricity system. This facility will likely be used during times of maximum demand for electricity such as hot summer intervals. Under an agreement with San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE), OGE will be responsible for construction of the plant and an approximately 0.2-mile underground electric transmission line interconnection between the power plant and the existing SDG&E Pala substation boundary. OGE will operate the plant and under a land lease for a site on a larger parcel owned by SDG&E. It will have a tolling agreement for generating electrical power for SDGE.
The generating facility would include two 50 MW GE LM6000 PC SPRINT combustion turbine generators (CTG), a gas metering station, water and natural gas pipelines. Transmission interconnection to the Pala substation will occur within the limits of SDGE's contiguous parcel and would include an underground transmission line interconnection. The project would be fueled by natural gas delivered to the site via a 2-mile extension of an existing SDGE gas line.
The CTGs will be equipped with GE's SPRay-INTercooled (SPRINT) power boost technology to increase output from the plant, requiring water for power augmentation. OGE is proposing use of dry cooling technology for turbine cooling. A new 1.8-mile waterline will be constructed by Rainbow Municipal Water District between the existing water main and the site boundary to provide water for the project's process, domestic, and sanitary needs. The proposed water usage is estimated to be 117 acre/feet annually. Air emissions from the proposed facility would be controlled by using Best Available Control Technology including a water injection system, carbon monoxide catalyst as well as a selective catalytic reduction system that will further reduce emissions.
The proposed project site would occupy 8.5 acres within a 220-acre site which is located off Pala Del Norte Road, approximately 3.5 miles northeast of I-5 on SR-76, approximately two miles west of the community of Pala and16 miles west of Fallbrook. The property is currently zoned General Agricultural (A72) in the San Diego County general plan which would accommodate the construction of a power plant. An existing SDGE Pala Substation is located on a contiguous SDPE parcel south of the project site. The site is currently occupied by a former citrus grove.
Energy Commission Facility Certification Process
The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.

Do you need to travel with child by car? You must prepare a baby car seat that is designed for newborn. Why is this necessary? When driving on a car, babies also need a special safety belt for safety. Unfortunately, the standard safety belt provided in the car is not good enough for a baby. A special baby car seat is require thus the baby does not feel a lot of bumps and still safe on the road.

Best Price UPPAbaby baby car seat in Michigan,USA
So as not to choose the wrong seat for baby, these 9 tips on choosing a baby car seat.
1. Only buy a trusted brand of baby car seats
Once a while, mothers are tempted by cheap baby car seat prices. But it is not a brand that is recommended by many people. Actually, a baby car seat like this deserves further investigation. Starting from the quality of the material, iron, to the safety rope. Do not let just because the price of a cheap baby car seat, the safety of your child neglected.
In addition to the quality of the material used, choose baby car seats for newborns that have passed the test or are verified. Choose who has pocketed a standard safety permit. Good quality baby car seats can also be used for a long period of time.
2. Modify the infant's weight with the capacity of the infant vehicle seat
Not all child vehicle seats are good for babies. Keep in mind the needs of each baby is different. The choice of baby car seats must be based on the weight of your child. Do not let the baby car seat is too narrow or broad for the baby because it could imperil its safety.
You can alter the size of the child vehicle seat. If the car seat can accommodate up to 10 kg in weight, it means that your baby can utilize the car seat up to around 9 months old. Change the baby car seat when your child surpasses the capacity limit. The correct child vehicle seat can lessen 90 percent of the odds of an infant encountering deadly damage during a mishap.
3. Pick an infant-capsule type because it is more solace for baby
This type of baby car seat is perfect for newborns for up to 6 months. What are the advantages of baby car seat infant capsule? This baby safety equipment can make it easier for mothers to position the baby car seat facing the rear or rear facing. Before 2 years old, babies should use a baby car seat in a position opposite to the speed of the vehicle.
This is done because in the early days of life, the baby's head is 25% bigger than the whole body. If the baby sits in the baby car seat in line with the speed of the vehicle, there is a possibility of experiencing a risk of a firmer shock during an accident. Of course, babies under 6 months may not get large shocks on the head. For convenience, usually a baby car is able to support the baby's head so it will not make the body bend or shift to the other side.
4. Pay attention to the 5 point harness in the selected baby car seat
Of course, your intention to use a baby car seat when driving with a baby is for safety reasons. For that, you should really check the completeness of the baby car seat before driving with the baby. Make sure you choose a baby car seat that has two shoulder straps, two straps and one strap between the legs that bring the feet together in the middle. The completeness of the seat belt is called 5 point harness.
In addition, you also have to choose a baby car seat model that provides protection against collisions. For example, baby car seats are equipped with additional foam or airbags (special air cushions on the side of the baby's head). Your child also needs a seat section that has been fitted with a LATCH or hook to tighten the car seat cushion without having to use the seat belt that is on the car.
5. Choose for baby car seats that can be used for other things
Today's parents certainly want everything related to baby gear more practical and easy to use. For that, you want a multifunctional baby car seat. Especially when you have to travel far overland. Some types of baby car seats can also be modified into a baby stroller or basket to be taken anywhere, to facilitate the journey of mother and baby.
6. Pick the convertible baby car seat for longer use
You don't want to buy the baby car seat twice right? Try using a convertible seat type. The advantages of this baby chair can be used from newborns to 3-4 years old. In fact, some brands of baby car seat are able to support a child's body weight of up to 36 kg.
Another advantage of convertible seat type baby car seat can face rear (rear seat) and front (forward seat). When the baby's head is strong enough around the age of 2 years, the mother can change the position of the baby car seat. Thus you does not need to buy baby car seat until the child able use the seat belt in the car.
7. Pay attention to other highlight of the baby car seat
Baby safety seat is used to keep baby's safety when driving in a vehicle. For that, you need some supporting features such as the reclaining seat feature. This function makes it easy for mom to change the position of babies who are already sitting in baby seats. When the baby (seems|starts to look} uncomfortable, you can help change the position.
The carry handle feature is important in baby car seats. This feature makes it easy for mom to hold the baby for a while. Important to lifted baby from the baby car seat every 2 hours. If it takes too long, your child will be at risk of disturbed the growth of his spine. Can also infants affected by Container Baby Syndrome in infants. Also choose a baby car seat that has a comfortable polyester material and is not hot.
8. Try not to pick baby car seat material that is hot and thick
You certainly cannot estimate the length of the trip when driving in a car. Sometimes, the baby must be in the baby car seat for more than 2 hours. What happens when the baby's body sticks too long in a container? The baby's head will feel sticky because of sweat and his body feels moist. If this happens the child will fuss and cry in the car
For this reason, you should have a baby car seat where the material in the seat can absorb sweat. Do not choose a chair that is too hot and feels closed so that the baby will feel more comfortable and safe.
9. Bring along the baby when choosing a baby car seat
If you are still unsure of the right baby car seat. You have to bring along your baby when will buy the seat. Try directly the baby car seat on the baby's body. You will find out whether the size is too large or narrow, and can even see the comfort level of your child. If your baby is crying when trying , {it's better to| choose another baby safety seat.
Now, if the information about Best Price UPPAbaby baby car seat in Michigan,USA is clear, you only need to buy one that suits your condition, your road trip and the baby will be guaranteed to be more enjoyable and certainly safe. You can choose baby car seats directly on Amazon.

Handling Your Frozen, Broken, and Burst Pipes
Frozen pipes can be one of the most damaging problems a home or business owner has to face. What makes frozen pipe damage so bad, is that it usually allows water to get into the ceilings and walls of the structure. Basement water damage is often the result of broken, frozen, and burst pipes. It isn't always detected in a timely fashion as other water problems. Thus the damage has a chance to spread. But accidents happen. When you do have the unfortunate luck of a broken pipe, a pipe leak, or water coming into your home, you could clean it up yourself. But a professional water damage company like us has the professional equipment to quickly perform water removal and then dry out your house so you don't have to worry about mildew starting to grow.
Basement Water Damage and Flooding
All basements are prone to flooding and there can be several causes behind the water in your basement. Basement water damage is exceptionally common in the area since most basements will experience broken pipes, improper grading, leaky windows, failed sump pumps, seepage, or leaking foundation walls. If your house has experienced water damage to the foundation or basement flooding, it's important to repair these areas as quickly as possible to avoid larger structural and property damage issues, which can ruin your personal belongings and create a serious health and safety hazard.
The first 48 hours are considered the most important time period to react, as it is critical to prevent further damage to the flooded basement and the items within. The first thing you'll need to do if you think you have water damage has a thorough assessment conducted by one of our professionals to determine the next step in the water damage repair and cleanup process. If you have basement water damage or are currently experiencing a flooded basement, call Century Restoration as soon as possible.
O'Fallon MO Sewage Damage Cleanup and Removal

This would include personal belongings, carpeting, padding, and even drywall.
It is critical that you do not attempt to clean up a mess from broken pipes that are connected to a sewage line. Sewage, which is also known as black water, has the potential to cause extraordinary damage. Coming in contact with fecal matter or raw sewage could cause disease, destroy your valuables, and cause severe damage to your property.

Elements Of Style
Fashion Friday: Olivia Pope. It's Handled.
If you've been perusing my Facebook or Twitter you know that I am currently obsessed with Scandal. I'm midway through season 3 and VERY stressed that Jake Ballard is about to bite it (how cute is Scott Foley? I've loved him since Felicity.) Anywhoo, I both love and am epically annoyed by Olivia Pope. She's bad ass, but also has a meme-worthy cryface/ stressface that drives me nuts. But she also has some killer fashion. So let's take a peek at some of my faves and then I'll show my OP picks….
Girl has some seriously awesome coats and blazers…
And she loves a good bateau neck top (also she makes me want to replace everything in my wardrobe with white stuff). Hi Fitz.
More killer jackets. That pink one at right made me weep with jealousy.
Her evening wear- lots of black and white color-blocking and one gorgeous gold number.
LEATHER OPERA GLOVES. Duh. Why didn't I think of that? Super perfect for holding a chilled glass of champagne in front of a DC monument.
Even her workout gear is perfect…and of course, white. But that swimsuit would have some serious drag for swimming laps in.
I have never wanted satin pajamas until now. It's all about the stain pajamas and cashmere sweaters with OP.
So here are some of my Olivia Pope picks- streamlined, whites, neutrals and some black and seriously awesome coats ( oh, and pretty undies for secret rendezvous with the president, of course).
1. (she has a few of these Prada bags, I DIE for the grey one) // 2. // 3. // 4. // 5. // 6. // 7. // 8. // 9. // 10. // 11. // 12. // 13. // 14. // 15. // 16. // 17. // 18. // 19. // 20.

A special slide I prepared for my lecture at Gdansk featuring Robert Alicki and I as climber on the mountain of quantum computers "because it is not there."
It has been quite a while since I posted here about quantum computers. Quite a lot happened in the last months regarding this side of my work, and let me devote this post mainly to pictures. So here is a short summary going chronologically backward in time. Last week – Michel Dyakonov visited Jerusalem, and gave here the condensed matter physics seminar on the spin Hall effect. A couple of weeks before in early January we had the very successful Jerusalem physics winter school on Frontier in quantum information. (Here are the recorded lectures.) Last year I gave my evolving-over-time lecture on why quantum computers cannot work in various place and different formats in Beer-Sheva, Seattle, Berkeley, Davis (CA), Gdansk, Paris, Cambridge (US), New-York, and Jerusalem. (The post about the lecture at MIT have led to a long and very interesting discussion mainly with Peter Shor and Aram Harrow.) In August I visited Robert Alicki, the other active QC-skeptic, in Gdansk and last June I took part in organizing a (successful) quantum information conference Qstart in Jerusalem (Here are the recorded lectures.).
And now some pictures in random ordering
With Robert Alicki in Gdynia near Gdansk
With (from left) Connie Sidles, Yuri Gurevich, John Sidles and Rico Picone in Seattle (Victor Klee used to take me to the very same restaurant when I visited Seattle in the 90s and 00s.) Update: Here is a very interesting post on GLL entitled "seeing atoms" on John Sidles work.
With Michel Dyakonov (Jerusalem, a few days ago)
With Michal Horodecki in Sopot near Gdansk (Michal was a main lecturer in our physics school a few weeks ago.)
Aram Harrow and me meeting a year ago at MIT.
Sometimes Robert and I look skeptically in the same direction and other times we look skeptically in opposite directions. These pictures are genuine! Our skeptical face impressions are not staged. The pictures were taken by Maria, Robert's wife. Robert and I are working for many years (Robert since 2000 and I since 2005) in trying to examine skeptically the feasibility of quantum fault-tolerance. Various progress in experimental quantum error-correction and other experimental works give good reasons to believe that our views could be examined in the rather near future.
A slide I prepared for a 5-minute talk at the QSTART rump session referring to the impossibility of quantum fault-tolerance as a mild earthquake with wide impact.
This is a frame from the end-of-shooting of a videotaped lecture on "Why quantum computers cannot work" at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing at Berkeley. Producing a videotaped lecture is a very interesting experience! Tselil Schramm (in the picture holding spacial sets of constant width) helped me with this production.

I first learnt about probability when I was in secondary school. As with all the other topics in Maths, it was just another bunch of formulas to memorize and regurgitate to apply to exam questions. Although I was curious if there was any use for it beyond calculating the odds for gambling, I didn't manage to find out any. As with many things in my life, things pop up at unexpected places and I stumbled on it again when as I started on machine learning and naive Bayesian classifiers.
A classifier is exactly that — it's something that classifies other things. A classifier is a function that takes in a set of data and tells us which category or classification the data belongs to. A naive Bayesian classifier is a type of learning classifier, meaning that you can continually train it with more data and it will be be better at its job. The reason why it's called Bayesian is because it uses Bayes' Law, a mathematical theorem that talks about conditional probabilities of events, to determine how to classify the data. The classifier is called 'naive' because it assumes each event (in this case the data) to be totally unrelated to each other. That's a very simplistic view but in practice it has been proven to be a surprisingly accurate. Also, because it's relatively simple to implement, it's quite popular. Amongst its more well-known usage include email spam filters.
So what's Bayes' Law and how can it be used to categorize data? As mentioned, Bayes' Law describes conditional probabilities. An example of conditional probability is the probability of an event A happening given that another event B has happened. This is usually written as Pr(A | B), which is read as the probability of A, given B. To classify a document, we ask — given a particular text document, what's the probability that it belongs to this category? When we find the probabilities of the given document in all categories, the classifier picks the category with the highest probability and announce it as the winner, that is, the document most probably belongs to that category.
The question then follows, how to we get the probability of a document belonging to a category? This is where we turn to Bayes' Law which states that:
Given our usage, what we want is:
What we need is Pr(document|category) and Pr(category). You should keep in mind that we're comparing relative probabilities here so we can drop Pr(document) because it is the same for every category.
What is Pr(document|category) and how do we find it? It is the probability that this document exists, given a particular category. As a document is made of a bunch of words, what we need to do is to calculate the probability of the words in the document within the category. Here is where the 'naive' part comes in. We know that the words in a document are not random and the probability of a word like 'Ruby' would be more likely to be found in an article on the Ruby programming language than say, an article on the dental practices in Uganda. However for the purpose of simplicity, the naive Bayesian classifier treats each word as independent of each other.
Remember your probability lessons — if the probability of each word is independent of each other, the probability of a whole bunch of words together is the product of the probability of each word in the bunch. A quick aside to illustrate this.
Take a pair of dice and roll them one after another. The probability of the the first die to fall on any one of its 6 sides is 1 out of 6, that is 1/6. The probability of the second die to fall on any one of its 6 sides is also 1/6. So what is the probability that both dice lands on 6? Out of the 6 x 6 = 36 possible ways that a pair of dice can land there is only 1 way that both dice lands on 6, so the probability is 1/36, which is 1/6 x 1/6. This is true only if the dice rolls are independent of each other. In the same way we are 'naively' assuming that the words in the document are occurring independently of each other, as if it is written by the theoretical monkey with a typewriter.
In other words, the probability that a document exists, given a category, is the product of the probability of each word in that document. Now that we've established this, how do we get the probability of a single word? Basically it's the count of the number of times the word appeared in the category after the classifier has been trained compared to the total word counts in that category. Another quick illustration. Say we train the classifier with 2 categories (spam and not-spam), there are 100 word counts in the spam category. There are only be 14 unique words in this category but some of these words have been trained more than once. Out of these 100 word counts, 5 of them are for the word 'money'. The probability for the word 'money' would be the number of times it is mentioned in the spam category (5) divided by the number of word counts in this category (100).
Now that we know Pr(document|category) let's look at Pr(category). This is simply the probability of any document being in this category (instead of being in another category). This is the number of documents used to train this category over the total number of documents that used to train all categories.
So that's the basic idea behind naive Bayesian classifiers. With that I'm going to show you how to write a simple classifier in Ruby. There is already a rather popular Ruby implementation by Lucas Carlsson called the Classifier gem (http://classifier.rubyforge.org) which you can use readily but let's write our own classifier instead. We'll be creating class named NativeBayes, in a file called native_bayes.rb. This classifier will be used to classify text into different categories. Let's recap how this classifier will be used:
- First, tell the classifier how many categories there will be
- Next, train the classifier with a number of documents, while indicating which category those document belongs to
- Finally, pass the classifier a document and it should tell us which category it thinks the document should be in
Now let's run through the public methods of the NativeBayes class, which should map to the 3 actions above:
- Provide the categories you want to classify the data into
- Train the classifier by feeding it data
- Doing the real work, that is to classify given data
The first method we'll roll into the constructor of the class, so that when we create the object, the categories will be set. The second method, train, takes in a category and a document (a text string) to train the classifier. The last method, classify, takes in just a document (a text string) and returns its category.
class NaiveBayes def initialize(*categories) @words = Hash.new @total_words = 0 @categories_documents = Hash.new @total_documents = 0 @categories_words = Hash.new @threshold = 1.5 categories.each { |category| @words[category] = Hash.new @categories_documents[category] = 0 @categories_words[category] = 0 } end def train(category, document) word_count(document).each do |word, count| @words[category][word] ||= 0 @words[category][word] += count @total_words += count @categories_words[category] += count end @categories_documents[category] += 1 @total_documents += 1 end def classify(document, default='unknown') sorted = probabilities(document).sort {|a,b| a[1]<=>b[1]} best,second_best = sorted.pop, sorted.pop return best[0] if (best[1]/second_best[1] > @threshold) return default end end
Let's look at the initializer first. We'll need the following instance variables:
1. @words is a hash containing a list of words trained for the classifier. It looks something like this:
{ "spam" => { "money" => 10, "quick" => 12, "rich" => 15 }, "not_spam" => { "report" => 9, "database" => 13, "salaries" => 12 } }
"Spam" and "not_spam" are the categories, while "money", "quick" etc are the words in the "spam" category with the numbers indicating the number of times it has been trained as that particular category.
2. @total_words contains the number of words trained
3. @categories_documents is a hash containing the number of documents trained for each category:
{ "spam" => 4, "not_spam" => 5}
4. @total_documents is the total number of documents trained
5. @categories_words is a hash containing the number of words trained for each category:
{ "spam" => 37, "not_spam" => 34}
6. @threshold is something I will talk about again at the last section of the code descriptions (it doesn't make much sense now). Next is the train method, which takes in a category and a document. We break down the document into a number of words, and slot it accordingly into the instance variables we created earlier on. Here we are using a private helper method called word_count to do the grunt work.
def word_count(document) words = document.gsub(/[^\w\s]/,"").split d = Hash.new words.each do |word| word.downcase! key = word.stem unless COMMON_WORDS.include?(word) d[key] ||= 0 d[key] += 1 end end return d end COMMON_WORDS = ['a','able','about','above','abroad' ...] # this is truncated
The code is quite straightforward, we're just breaking down a text string into its constituent words. We want to focus on words that characterize the document so we're really not that interested in some words such as pronouns, conjunctions, articles, and so on. Dropping those common words will bring up nouns, characteristic adjectives and some verbs. Also, to reduce the number of words, we use a technique called 'stemming' which essentially reduces any word to its 'stem' or root word. For example, the words 'fishing', 'fisher', 'fished', 'fishy' are all reduced to a root word 'fish'. In our method here we used a popular stemming algorithm called Porter stemming algorithm. To use this stemming algorithm, install the following gem:
gem install stemmer
Now let's look at the classify method. This is the method that uses Bayes' Law to classify documents. We will be breaking it down into a few helper methods to illustrate how Bayes' Law is used. Remember that finally we're looking at the probability of a given document being in any of the categories, so we need to have a method that returns a hash of categories with their respective probabilities like this:
{ "spam" => 0.123, "not_spam" => 0.327}
def probabilities(document) probabilities = Hash.new @words.each_key {|category| probabilities[category] = probability(category, document) } return probabilities end
In the probabilities method, we need to calculate the probability of that document being in each category. As mentioned above, that probability is Pr(document|category) * Pr(category). We create a helper method called probability that simply multiplies the document probability Pr(document|category) and the category probability Pr(category).
def probability(category, document) doc_probability(category, document) * category_probability(category) end
First let's tackle Pr(document|category). To do that we need to get all the words in the given document, get the word probability of that document and multiply them all together.
def doc_probability(category, document) doc_prob = 1 word_count(document).each { |word| doc_prob *= word_probability(category, word[0]) } return doc_prob end
Next, we want to get the probability of a word. Basically the probability of a word in a category is the number of times it occurred in that category, divided by the number of words in that category altogether. However if the word never occurred during training (and this happens pretty frequently if you don't have much training data), then what you'll get is a big fat 0 in probability. If we propagate this upwards, you'll notice that the document probability will all be made 0 and therefore the probability of that document in that category is made 0 as well. This, of course, is not the desired results. To correct it, we need to tweak the formula a bit.
To make sure that there is at least some probability to the word even if it isn't in trained list, we assume that the word exists at least 1 time in the training data so that the result is not 0. So this means that instead of:
we take:
So the code is something like this:
def word_probability(category, word) (@words[category][word.stem].to_f + 1)/@categories_words[category].to_f end
Finally we want to get Pr(category), which is pretty straightforward. It's just the probability that any random document being in this category, so we take number of documents trained in the category and divide it with the total number of documents trained in the classifier.
def category_probability(category) @categories_documents[category].to_f/@total_documents.to_f end
Now that we have the probabilities, let's go back to the classify method and take a look at it again:
def classify(document, default='unknown') sorted = probabilities(document).sort {|a,b| a[1]<=>b[1]} best,second_best = sorted.pop, sorted.pop return best[0] if (best[1]/second_best[1] > @threshold) return default end
We sort the probabilities to bubble up the category with the largest probability. However if we use this directly,it means it has to be the one with the largest, even though the category with the second largest probability is only maybe a bit smaller. For example, take the spam and non-spam categories and say the ratio of the probabilities are like this — spam is 53% and non-spam is 47%. Should the document be classified as spam? Logically, not! This is the reason for the threshold variable, which gives a ratio between the best and the second best. In the example code above the value is 1.5 meaning the best probability needs to be 1.5 times better than the second best probability i.e. the ratio needs to be 60% to 40% for the best and second best probabilities respectively. If this is not the case, then the classifier will just shrug and say it doesn't know (returns 'default' as the category). You can tweak this number accordingly depending on the type of categories you are using.
Now that we have the classifier, let's take it out for a test run. I'm going to use a set of Yahoo news RSS feeds to train the classifier according to the various categories, then use some random text I get from some other sites and ask the classifier to classify them.
require 'rubygems' require 'rss/1.0' require 'rss/2.0' require 'open-uri' require 'hpricot' require 'naive_bayes' require 'pp' categories = %w(tech sports business entertainment) classifier = NaiveBayes.new(categories) content ='' categories.each { |category| feed = "http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/#{category}" open(feed) do |s| content = s.read end rss = RSS::Parser.parse(content, false) rss.items.each { |item| text = Hpricot(item.description).inner_text classifier.train(category, text) } # classify this documents = [ "Google said on Monday it was releasing a beta version of Google Sync for the iPhone and Windows Mobile phones", :Rangers waste 5 power plays in 3-0 loss to Devils", "Going well beyond its current Windows Mobile software, Microsoft will try to extend its desktop dominance with a Windows phone.", "UBS cuts jobs after Q4 loss", "A fight in Hancock Park after a pre-Grammy Awards party left the singer with bruises and a scratched face, police say."] documents.each { |text| puts text puts "category => #{classifier.classify(text)}" puts }
This is the output:
Google said on Monday it was releasing a beta version of Google Sync for the iPhone and Windows Mobile phones {"tech"=>"62.4965904628081%", "business"=>"6.51256988628851%", "entertainment"=>"16.8319433691552%", "sports"=>"14.1588962817482%"} category => tech Rangers waste 5 power plays in 3-0 loss to Devils {"tech"=>"14.7517595939031%", "business"=>"3.51842781998617%", "entertainment"=>"8.09457974962582%", "sports"=>"73.6352328364849%"} category => sports Going well beyond its current Windows Mobile software, Microsoft will try to extend its desktop dominance with a Windows phone. {"tech"=>"91.678065974899%", "business"=>"0.851666657161468%", "entertainment"=>"4.15349223570253%", "sports"=>"3.31677513223704%"} category => tech UBS cuts jobs after Q4 loss {"business"=>"33.1048977545484%", "tech"=>"14.1719403525702%", "entertainment"=>"31.9818519810561%", "sports"=>"20.7413099118253%"} category => unknown A fight in Hancock Park after a pre-Grammy Awards party left the R&B singer with bruises and a scratched face, police say. {"tech"=>"4.10704270254326%", "business"=>"1.4959136651331%", "entertainment"=>"78.1802587499558%", "sports"=>"16.2167848823678%"} category => entertainment

I havesold off my entire lego collection. Planned on selling it all bit by bit but the first person to buy a set offered me a good price for the whole lot. It's been fun, but now I have more important things (to me) to spend my money on with 2 kids and a car I'm working on.
Just like to give a special thanks to all the people on this forum, admins right down to the newbies have made this place a pleasure to be a part of. I may pop in and lurk from time to time but I think I'll have to live my lego fetish through my girls when they grow up a bit more.
Once again cheers and I hope everyone keeps this site a friendly pleasant place to be a part of.
So long,

In its Big 12 football media days material, Colorado announced that two members of the Buffaloes' 2010 recruiting class, wide receiver Donnie Duncan and tight end Justin Favors, failed to qualify academically.
Duncan, a 6-foot, 185-pounder from Hamilton High School in Cerritos, Calif., still intends to play for the Buffs and could delay his enrollment until January as a "grayshirt," if he can gain his eligibility, according to the CU release. Future plans for Favors, a 6-3, 225-pounder from Trotwood-Madison High near Dayton, Ohio, are uncertain, according to CU.

Hello! I am popping in to share some craft show photos. Back in November, I had the chance to visit "One of a Kind Craft Show" in Toronto. I had a blast with my girlfriends. Too bad that we didn't spend enough time to see every booth. There were hundreds of them! Here is the sample of the visit.
Let's start with a cute room display...
These prints remind me of the collage designs. Aren't they beautiful?
Do these images prompt you to make a collage card?
These are recycled bottled and they were sterilized and then flattened. They are ideal as cheese trays! I bought one for our niece!
Love this idea for upcycling!
The quilt shops looks fabulous!

Protect: protection against SMS fraud
If you sign up to a website using your mobile phone or send an SMS to a mobile number, you may become a victim of fraud. You may find that even after sending a payment, you don't receive the promised service, or that a small amount is regularly debited from your account. Yandex Browser tracks fraudulent sites and blocks them within the Protect integrated security system.
Examples of SMS fraud
The situations described below may occur if you visit fraudulent or infected sites (please note that a website that was secure yesterday may be infected today). They may also be the result of malware on your computer.
- Registration on a website via your mobile phone
- The site asks you to enter your mobile phone number under various pretexts. For example, the site asks for your number to register on the site or to prove that you are not a robot, to activate software updates, to prevent your social network account from being blocked, and so on.
You receive an activation code on your phone and are asked to enter it on the site.
- By entering the activation code, you activate a paid subscription.
- A small amount of money starts being deducted from your phone account every day, usually 20-30 rubles.
- Sending a message from your phone to a mobile number
- You are asked to send a text message (SMS) from your mobile phone to a number shown on the site.
You send the text message. The cost of sending the message is higher than the normal rate to send an SMS. In addition, the website may not contain any information on prices, or this information is hidden away in an unnoticeable location on the site.
Immediately after the SMS is sent to a mobile telephone number, your mobile phone account will be charged a certain amount, usually 100-200 rubles. In some cases, money starts being withdrawn on a daily basis.
Blocking fraudulent websites
Yandex keeps track of sites linked to SMS fraud and stores their addresses in a special database. If you try to go to a site linked to SMS fraud, Yandex Browser blocks the dangerous page and informs you about this — a message appears in the browser window, and the icon will appear on the right of the SmartBox.
We strongly recommend that you do not visit this type of website. Visiting these types of resources can be dangerous for the following reasons:
- If you do, you will be asked to perform actions that will result in money being debited from your mobile phone account. There might not be a message warning you that a fee is charged for using the service, or the message may be difficult to find.
- It is likely that you will not receive the services you paid for at all or they will not be delivered exactly as promised.
Additional security measures
The Protect system's database of infected and fraudulent websites contains more than 80,000 websites. However, some websites might not be included in the database if no complaints were received about it. Take the following precautions to protect yourself from hackers:
- Do not enter your mobile phone number on sites that you do not completely trust.
- Do not send messages from your phone to numbers shown on websites.
- Avoid transferring any personal data or data required for e-payments (bank card numbers, PIN codes etc.).
Disable protection
To disable SMS fraud protection:
- Click .
- Go to the Protect tab at the top of the page.
- In the Threat security section, turn off the Run security checks on websites and downloaded files option.
Follow the same steps to re-enable SMS fraud protection.
If Yandex blocks your website
If you think that your website was mistakenly included in the list of websites suspected of SMS fraud, please follow the instructions on the SMS fraud page.

text: Oh, yeah, definitely. People would be talking about it for years. I suppose that Doherty would have to option Dibdin's novel. Even if he didn't adapt that particular story, he'd want the idea behind the story, and he'd want to do it safely and without fear of litigation. But that option also means money, which is why Elementary probably won't go down that road with the Napoleon of Crime.
