This File 'jeff_loadclean_dat.py' is a preliminary attemp to load/clean and run a ver simple ML algorithm on the data.  I did it more for my learning process for working with Python.  Note that I was working on a subset of the data (first 1000 lines) and have not tested it on the full dataset.  I'm sure there are much more efficient ways to do things and any comments are appreciated.
