The present application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/592,125 filed Jul. 30, 2004, the contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure, as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent files or records, but otherwise reserves all copyright rights whatsoever.
This invention relates generally to a system and method for improving the accuracy of audio searches. More specifically the present invention relates to employing a plurality of acoustic and language models to improve the accuracy of audio searches.
Call recording or telephone recording systems have existed for many years storing audio recordings in a digital file or format. Typically, these recording systems rely upon individuals, typically using telephone networks, to record or leave messages with a computerized recording device, such as a residential voice mail system. However, as the technology of conference calls, customer service, and other telephone systems has advanced, call recording systems are now employed on a variety of systems ranging from residential and commercial voice mail to custom service to emergency (911). These recording systems are often implemented in environments where the recorded calls include speakers of many languages, dialects and accents.
As the use of call recording systems has expanded, the database of recorded calls has also expanded. For many call recording systems, such as emergency (911) calls, a database of emergency calls must be maintained for activities such as retrieving evidence or training purposes. Over time, these databases can become quite large, storing enormous amounts of data and audio files from typically numerous and unknown callers. Although calls may be identified by recorder ID, channel number, duration, time, and date in the database, the content of the audio file may be unknown without listening to the call records individually. However, the content of audio files in a call recording database is often of particular interest for research, training, or evidence gathering. Unfortunately, searching audio files for keywords or content subjects is difficult and extremely time consuming unless the searching is performed using automatic speech recognition technology. Traditional systems for searching audio files convert audio files in a database into a searchable format using an automatic speech recognition system. The speech recognition system employs a single model, representing a language such as English, to perform the conversion. Once a searchable format of the database is created, the database is searched for keywords or subject matter and the searching system returns a set search results called hits. The search results indicate the location, along with other possible information, of each hit in the database such that each hit may be located and heard. The search results may also indicate or flag each audio file in the database containing at least one hit.
Unfortunately, typical systems manage to identify only a small portion of this audio information. This is because of the formidable task of using speech recognition technology to recognize the wide variety of pronunciations, accents, and speech characteristics of native and non-native speakers of a particular language or multiple languages. Keywords are often missed in searching because audio files are not accurately converted by the automatic speech recognition system or indexing engine. Therefore, due to the large number of unknown voices on a call recording system and the different pronunciations, accents, speech characteristics, and languages possible in any given audio file in a call recording database, traditional searching techniques have failed to provide less than optimal search results.
The present invention includes systems and methods for improving audio searching using multiple models and combining multiple search resulting into a unified search result.
In one embodiment, the present invention may gather an audio stream and determine a plurality of models for use in processing the audio stream based upon the plurality of models to obtain a plurality of search tracks. This may further include collecting at least one search term and processing the plurality of search tracks to find at least one search term to obtain a plurality of search results. Each of the plurality of search results may correspond to one of the plurality of models. Finally, the search results may be combined into a unified search result.
In one embodiment of the invention, each of the plurality of models may include an acoustic model and a language model. Also, each of the plurality of models may cover a different language or at least one of the plurality of models covers a dialect or an accent. Further, each of the plurality of search results may include at least one hit, where a hit includes an offset and a confidence score.
In yet another embodiment, the method of combining the search results may include clustering hits from the plurality of search results according to offsets and determining a resultant confidence score for each cluster of hits.
In determining the resultant confidence score, an embodiment of the present invention may compute the resultant confidence score using a simple average or a weighted average. The resultant confidence score may also be computed using a maximal confidence or a non-linear complex rule.
The invention is illustrated in the figures of the accompanying drawings which are meant to be exemplary and not limiting, in which like references are intended to refer to like or corresponding parts, and in which:
The present disclosure will now be described more fully with reference to the Figures in which certain embodiments of the present invention are illustrated. The subject matter of this disclosure may, however, be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein.
A conventional searching system used to retrieve particular call records of interest is shown as prior art in
Referring now to
Input speech 10 may include one or more audio files and may also include various forms of audio formats, including digital formats such as .wav, mp3, mpeg, mpg, .avi, .asf, .pcm, etc. Search tracks 25, 26 and 27 may also take the form of various formats such as a sequence of words or a sequence of phonemes. Search tracks 25, 26 and 27, generated by the indexing engine 20, may include automatic speech recognition output in the form of a sequence of words or phonemes that correspond to the input speech 10. It is also contemplated, however, that search tracks 25, 26 and 27 may also be represented in other searchable digital formats.
Models 15, 16 and 17 may include the input necessary for automatic speech recognition to create search tracks 25, 26 and 27. In other words, these models may serve as the drivers for processing the input speech 10. The typical input to an automatic speech recognition system may include two elements: an acoustic model and a language model. For example, if model 15 is for the English language, then model 15 may include an acoustic model for English and a language model for English. Further, models 15, 16 and 17 may include the acoustic model and the language model or may include other inputs such that the indexing engine 20 may process the input speech 10 to create search tracks 25, 26 and 27.
Referring now to
A phonetic dictionary may be used to convert the input keywords 50 into phonemes to be used by the search engine 60. If a keyword is not in the phonetic dictionary, then the phonetic dictionary may guess the phonetic spelling of a keyword, According to a set of rules specific to the language of the phonetic dictionary. It is contemplated that language specific phonetic dictionaries may be used to generate phonetic targets to be compared to the language specific search tracks. For example, assuming model 15 is an English model and search track 25 includes the sequence of phonemes resulting from the indexing engine 20 using model 15 on the input speech 10, an English phonetic dictionary would be used to generate an English phonetic target to search for matches on search track 25. Further, assuming model 16 were a French model, a French phonetic dictionary would be used to generate a French phonetic target for search track 26. It is also contemplated, however, that a single phonetic target may be applied to each of the search tracks regardless of the language of the models used to generate the search tracks. Moreover, it is also contemplated that phonetic targets may be generated for each language represented by the models and each phonetic target then applied to each of the search track generated by the indexing engine 20.
Search engine line 60 searches the search tracks 25, 26 and 27 for the input keywords 50 and creates search results 75, 76 and 77. Again, it is contemplated in the present invention that search engine 60 will conduct the same or similar search on each of the search tracks 25, 26 and 27 and create a search result for each model input into the indexing engine 20 shown in
In searching the search tracks 25, 26, and 27, search engine 60 may attempt to match the patterns of words or phonemes in the input keywords 50 to same or similar patterns of words or phonemes in the search tracks 25, 26 and 27. However an exact match is not necessary and the search engine 60 may utilize a fuzzy match or other matching technique known to those skilled in the art. This allows matches or partial matches to be determined. In some embodiments, the user may select the desired level of match precision. Each match may be given a confidence score or value by the search engine 60. For example, an exact match may receive a confidence score of 100%. However, if the match is not exact, then some lower percentage may be assigned to the match representing the degree to which the pattern of a keyword matches a pattern in a search track. A threshold value may be assigned such that confidence measures for fuzzy matches above a predetermined value may be considered a hit and confidence measures for fuzzy matches below the predetermined value may be discarded.
Therefore, each of search results 75, 76 and 77 may be a collection of hits collection or instances where search engine 60 matched words or phonemes of the input keywords 50 to words or phonemes somewhere along the search tracks 25, 26 and 27. As mentioned above, each of these hits or instances may be annotated with a confidence value. Therefore, the search engine 60 may generate a search result, a collection of hits, for each model coupled to indexing engine 20.
Referring to
A hit may include a single instance in the search track where a keyword is located. However, a hit may also include a small bundle of information containing a keyword or keywords. If input keywords 50 are single words to be found in the search track, then the hit may include only information regarding the match in the search track. However, input keywords 50 and search terms are typically phrases of words or Boolean searches such that a hit includes a bundle of information on the matching phrase or group of words or phonetics in the search track.
Each hit may be considered a tuple (information bundle) and may include annotations to identify the hit. As shown in
Search track index
12.73 seconds
Target phonetic sequence
Actual phonetic sequence
0.74 seconds
In the example of the table above, the search track index indicates that hit 100 is on the first search track 25 created by indexing engine 20 using model 15 and language 1. The input keyword 50 in the example is "emergency" and a target phonetic sequence is shown. The search engine 60 may use the target phonetic sequence to attempt to locate matches in search track 25. In the example above, a match was located in search track 25 with an offset of 12.73 seconds, a duration of 0.74 seconds, and an actual phonetic sequence as shown. The similarity between the target phonetic sequence and the actual phonetic sequence in search track 25 generates a confidence value of 87%. The information described in the table above may be included in the search results 75, 76 and 77 for each hit located in the search tracks 25, 26 and 27 with a confidence value above a certain threshold.
It is important to note that the phonetic sequence of each search track may vary as a result of being processed by indexing engine 20 by different models and different languages. This variation in phonetic sequences between search tracks 25, 26 and 27 may result in different search results, as seen in
Looking back to
The result combinator 80 may combine search results 75, 76 and 77 in two steps: grouping the hits into clusters and computing a single hit from each cluster. The first step may also include grouping hits into clusters includes establishing which hits, in the different search tracks, are duplicates of each other. Duplicate hits may be determined by comparing the hit offsets and grouping those hits from different search results 75, 76 and 77 that begin at the same time, within a predetermined threshold, in the input speech 10. For example, if the difference between the hit offsets for hit 100 and hit 110 in
Define C as an empty set of clusters
2. For each hit h
Place each hit in a cluster of its own
c := <h>
C := C u c
3. Do
Remember cardinality of
For each cluster p in C
Compare all pairs of clusters and merge
For each cluster q in C \ p
them if their offset differs by less than 8
1. if I p[0].offset − q[0].offset 1 < 0
then p := sort_by_offset( p u q)
4. Until N = ICI
Stop when no change in cardinality of C
As a result of the above algorithm, result combinator 80 may generate a set of clusters such that each cluster contains one or more hits. It is possible that hits may have offsets that differ less than the predetermined threshold but still get grouped into separate clusters. This may occur when the offsets are sufficiently close but the confidence values and the keywords identified are sufficiently different. The difference in the keywords forces the result combinator 80 to treat the two hits as separate clusters and reported in the unified search result 90 as two hits.
The second step may include transforming the set of clusters into a single set of representative hits. Each cluster may be reduced to a representative hit by combining the one or more hits in each cluster. This reduction may be achieved by determining a computed confidence value for each representative hit based on a combination of the confidence values from each hit in a cluster. Determining the computed confidence value of the representative hit may be achieved in a variety of ways.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the confidence values of the hits in a cluster may be combined in the result combinator 80 using a linear combination, including but not limited to a simple average combination and a weighted average combination. The simple average may use a linear function to determine a computed confidence value equivalent to the average of the confidence values from hits belonging to the same cluster. This method treats the hits generated in the search results 75, 76 and 77 in substantially the same way and combines the results of each different language or dialect with equal weight.
The weighted average may use a linear function to determine a computed confidence value with a weight applied to search results associated with specific languages or dialects. In other words, the search results from a model using English may be weighted more than the search results from a model using a different language. To account for the importance of certain languages, a weight average may be used to determine the computed confidence value of a representative hit. The following formula may be applied to each cluster to determine an average confidence value weighted by language or dialect: (Alternatively, any other suitable method may be used if desired.)
In another embodiment of the present invention, the confidence values of the hits belonging to a cluster may be combined in result combinator 80 using a non-linear combination, including but not limited to a maximal confidence and a complex rule computation. The maximal confidence may determine a computed confidence value for a representative hit from the maximum confidence value of any of the hits in a cluster. The maximal confidence of each cluster may be determined from the following formula:
f(c=<h 1 , . . . h m>)=max(c) (2)
Arbitrarily complex rules may also be applied on a cluster of hits to determine a computed confidence value of a representative hit. The complex rules may take on a variety of forms and may generate confidence values for representative hits according to a predetermined rule set. For example, given the search tracks:
Search track index
Language or dialect
U.S. English
U.K. English
Standard Portuguese
Brazilian Portuguese
A complex rule can be:
For each cluster c
If hit present for search tracks 1 and 2
then return 99%
Else if hit present for search track 1 but not for
then return 50%
search track 2
Else if hit present for search track 2 but not for
then return 40%
search track 1
return 0%
Another embodiment for determining the complex rules and confidence values may include identifying in advance the language of an audio file and assigning a specific confidence value if the keywords are found in the search track for the language. For example, if a conversation is in English, then a higher weight may be assigned to the English model or more specifically to some particular model using a particular dialect of English. Further, if it is determined that some foreign words are being used in the conversation, then a higher weight may be assigned to the foreign language models. In this example, foreign words for place names, people's names and other such foreign words may actually be recognized and identified by the search engine. In such a situation, models using foreign languages may need additional weight such that hits from foreign models are given appropriate weight by the result combinator 80.
The determination of a computed confidence value for a representative hit may be found using any of the above mentioned linear and non-linear combination as well as any combination of different computational techniques. It should be noted that representative hits may be filtered out if the computed confidence values fall below a certain threshold.
Referring to
Therefore, in
In some cases M could be set to 1 so only one language will be active in the subsequent indexing/search phases. The active language/model may be chosen according to the speech input. The active language will be the most likely language to present the speech utterance spoken language.
Referring to
The training stage may involve the acquisition of all target-language speech samples. Language models 700, 705, and 710 for languages 1, 2, through N respectively are input into the parameterization step 720. In parameterization step 720, the signals may be pre-processed and features may be extracted. One goal is to extract a number of parameters ("features") from the signal that have a maximum of information relevant for the following classification. This may mean that features are extracted that are robust to acoustic variation but sensitive to linguistic content. In other words, features that are discriminant and allow to distinguish between different linguistic units may be employed. On the other hand, the features should also be robust compared to noise and other factors that are irrelevant for the recognition process. Using these sequences of feature vectors, target-language models may be estimated in the model estimation step 730. This model estimation step 730 may generate language models 735, 740 and 745 for languages 1, 2, through N respectively.
In the testing stage, the input is typically an unknown utterance spoken in an unknown language. Again, the input speech may undergo pre-processing and feature extraction in the parameterization step 720. A pattern matching scheme 750 may be used to calculate a probabilistic score, which represents the likelihood that the unknown utterance was spoken in the same language as the speech used to train each model (target-language). Pattern matching 750 may be performed on language models 735, 740 and 745 for languages 1, 2, through N respectively. Various algorithms may be used in pattern matching step 750. After the score has been calculated for each language in step 760, score alignment is made and the top M likely models (in most cases M will be set to 1) are determined as the M identified languages, that is, language models 770, 775, and 780 for languages 1, 2, and M respectively. This module also reduces the number of active languages from N to M, without sacrificing accuracy.
Thus, the accuracy of audio searching is improved by the present invention in a number of ways including improving the recall of the search results without sacrificing precision. The recall of the search results refers to the number of representative hits returned by the system in unified search results. The precision of the search results refers to the ratio or percentage of actual hits to total hits in the search results. For example, if a search returns ten hits with five actual hits and five false-positives, then the recall is ten hits and the precision is 50%. When the present invention is compared to traditional searching systems using a single model, the present invention improves the recall, allowing more hits to be captured in searching an audio database, while maintaining precision.
For example, in testing an audio database by searching for the keyword "emergency", the traditional system using a single English model only returned about 60% of the possible instances of the word in the database. However, the present invention using English and Spanish models returned about 90% of the possible instances of the word "emergency" in the audio database. This is equivalent to about a 50% increase in recall. The ratio of false-positive hits to the total number of hits returned remained the same for the traditional searching system and the present invention.
The present invention outperformed conventional searching when an audio database is searched for person's last names. The present invention, using multiple language models, doubled the number of actual hits while maintaining the ratio of false-positive hits to the total hits in the search results. This indicates that the present invention increases recall by 100% when searching for person's last names.
It will be apparent to one of skill in the art that described herein is a novel system and method for automatically modifying a language model. While the invention has been described with reference to specific preferred embodiments, it is not limited to these embodiments. The invention may be modified or varied in many ways and such modifications and variations as would be obvious to one of skill in the art are within the scope and spirit of the invention and are included within the scope of the following claims.

Nicki Minaj
She's touring the world in support of her new album The Pinkprint and Nicki Minaj is larger than life on the July 2015 cover of Cosmopolitan magazine.
The "Pink Friday" rapper pulls no punches when it comes to the bottom line- "Women are uncomfortable talking about money. I know it's taboo to discuss it at work. Technically, you shouldn't, but you need to know what people around you are making. Otherwise, you're not going to know what you're worth. You have to ask questions. 'What is this person getting?' Do your research. I've always been pretty competitive in terms of my pay."
News of a possible betrothal between Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill has been running rampant as of late, however the "Amen" rapper says he's not engaged to the "Anaconda" gal.
While chatting with Fader, Meek explained that the 15-carat diamond ring he gave her isn't an engagement ring. Mill shared, "It's definitely real. But it ain't really time to get married yet. We're still learning each other, feeling each other out."
As two of the most powerful female forces in pop music, Beyoncé Knowles and Nicki Minaj know a thing or two about how to make a hit record.
The "Crazy in Love" lady and the "Pink Friday" rapper just released their music video duet for "Feeling Myself" featuring footage of fun moments during the Coachella Music Festival last month.
It was a wonderful celebration of moms the world over, and yesterday (May 10) our favorite stars honored their mothers on Mother's Day via social Media.
"Like I Love You" crooner Justin Timberlake posted a photo of his mom and grandma along with the message, "#HappyMothersDay to ALL of the Mommies out there!! You DA REAL MVPs EVERY DAY!!" while Kate Hudson gave props to her mama Goldie Hawn.
Given her reputation for flaunting her ample curves, it's not shocking that Nicki Minaj unleashed a new set of Instagram photos while sporting a skin-tight black eyelet leather onesie.
The "Anaconda" rapper looked intense as she posed for the snapshots, adding the caption, "Boot by #MiuMiu~ pink wig thick… giv'em whiplash."
Against all odds, Nicki Minaj has built an entertainment empire through hard work, determination and plenty of attitude, and in the new issue of Glamour magazine she explains how she finds her vision.
The "Super Bass" rapper notes, "I wanted to take my time with [my new album] and show people I was capable of making something people could really relate to. Jay Z has always been a role model because he inspires people [to believe] they can go from selling drugs to being one of the most celebrated businessmen of our time. That's what I want to do for young girls, to say, 'It doesn't matter where you started in your life. You too can become a mogul and anything you want to be.'"
The Shrine Auditorium was the place to be on Sunday night (March 29) as the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards brought out the top pop stars.
In addition to performances by Taylor Swift, Madonna, Rihanna, Iggy Azalea, Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson and Meghan Trainor, Jamie Foxx kept the crowd in stitches with his hilarious, albeit sometimes controversial, commentary.
Giving her Instagram followers a little extra thrill, Nicki Minaj posted a pair of perky photos on Sunday (March 1) and Monday (March 2) just as a reminder that she's staying in top shape despite the winter weather.
The "Anaconda" rapper showed off her toned tummy and killer curves in the social media snaps, along with the caption, "When u finally start living for u & the ppl u love ONLY, life becomes so much easier."
She loves performing for and connecting with her fans, but sadly Nicki Minaj hit a setback while rehearsing for her upcoming tour in Philadelphia.
Earlier today (February 18) the "Pink Friday" rapper reported that one member of her crew, De'Von Pickett, has been killed while another, Eric Parker, is in critical condition at a local hospital after an altercation at the Che Bar & Grill on Tuesday night (February 17).
She's a natural performer who loves a good crowd and on Sunday (February 15) Ariana Grande was in fine form as she sang her heart out at the 2015 NBA All-Star Game at New York City's Madison Square Garden.
During the set, the former Disney darling belted out hits like "The Way," "Love Me Harder" and "Problem" while the audience cheered loudly in approval.

I have a model witch is holding different values in my website and i am currently trying to retrieve the value token.
I call my model in the following way:
HoldToken t = new HoldToken();
string token = t.Token;
This is how the model looks
namespace MvcResComm.Models
public class HoldToken
public string Token { get; set; }
I am always receiving null as my returned token. I think this is because i am using the

OSU defense must contain Ryan Broyles
STILLWATER — Visions of Ryan Broyles darting through Oklahoma State tacklers must be seared into the minds of Cowboy fans.
The Oklahoma receiver was the best offensive player on the field during Bedlam 2009. Broyles finished with 316 all-purpose yards including 209 return yards and 103 receiving yards.
For OSU, containing Broyles could be the key to slowing Oklahoma's offense when the Sooners visit the Cowboys at 7 p.m. on Saturday.
"He's very good,†coach Mike Gundy said. "He's elusive in space, he catches the ball well, he catches the ball down the field well.
"He's going to make some plays, you have to understand he's going to make some plays and try to limit those.â€
As good as Broyles was in last year's Bedlam matchup, he's been even better through 11 games in 2010. The junior has 106 receptions for 1,309 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Few players in college football can match Broyles' explosiveness in the open field.
"One thing we can do for him is not miss the tackles,†OSU cornerback Andrew McGee said. "He's quick, he's elusive, he has the ability to make you miss. If we can do our job and make the tackles in open space and limit the big plays we will be ok.â€
Easier said than done.
OU runs a bubble screen to Broyles which is close to unstoppable if executed correctly. It's lethal because the play gets Broyles the ball quickly in the open field with blockers ahead.
"The reason it is so tough is because it gives the receiver a chance to go make a play,†McGee said. "It gives them an opportunity to catch the ball and not worry about getting hit, getting smashed right after they catch it. So they have time to think about what they are going to do.â€
It's a play that always looks like the defender could jump the route and intercept the pass but OU runs variations of the play to keep defenses honest and the outside receiver — with Broyles lining up in the slot — blocks the cornerback on the perimeter, giving Broyles open space to operate.
"It's tough because they always have that one blocker in front of you,†McGee said. "It would have to be a heck of a read for someone to intercept a bubble pass. It would be one of the greatest plays ever.â€
Tackling will be the key. OSU's tackling was its downfall in the Cowboys' lone loss against Nebraska earlier this season and Broyles is the type of dynamic talent who will take advantage if OSU doesn't wrap up.
"He's going to catch the ball, we know that,†McGee said. "It's hard to say Ryan Broyles will not catch a single pass this game. We have to limit the big plays, limit the missed tackles.â€

Archived Story
Juvenile facility operated at 96% fullPublished 7:00pm Monday, February 18, 2013
ST. JOSEPH — While other such facilities ran so far below full that wings closed, "busy" Berrien County Juvenile Center operated at 96 percent capacity in 2012.
Director Rich Dama told the Berrien County Board of Commissioners Administration Committee Thursday morning that of 100 admission requests received from law enforcement in 2012, 55 were approved and 45 were denied within an average 25-minute turnaround time.
A DSF, or detention screening form, scores juveniles by weighing prior offenses, gang activity and mitigating factors such as school enrollment and parental supervision.
Mashing factors together yields a score.
The highest DSF was 22, the lowest -3. Males rated an average 9.7, females 8.3. The average age of admission was 15.
"Zero to six, we don't admit them to the facility," Dama said. "Seven to 11, we will accept them, but prefer other avenues. Twelve and above are definite keepers."
"Juveniles should be detained because they pose an immediate risk of re-offending in the community, they're a danger to themselves or others or pose a significant risk not to appear in court. Those are the criteria we use," Dama said.
Admissions came 35.7 percent from law enforcement, 26.4 percent from court orders and 37.9 percent from "J-5's," or juvenile arrest warrants.
The facility in Berrien Center has 16 secure detention beds and eight non-secure detention beds.
Of 227 total detention admissions last year, two thirds were males. Half were African American males, 21 percent African American females, 18 percent white males and 11 percent white females for an overall population 71 percent black and 29 percent white.
"One thing we don't have a lot of in this community is shelter care," said Dama, who has been with the center for eight years. "Youngsters who score on the low end of the threat spectrum of the DSF, there simply isn't anywhere else for law enforcement to take them."
Daily populations ranged from 6 to 17. When capacity is approached, Berrien turns to other detention facilities in the region, such as Kalamazoo or Calhoun County.
Having to go outside BCJC costs at least $150 a day per youth, plus transportation.
With 5,581 total care days divided by 173 youths released, the average length of stay was 32.26 days.
BCJC also has an eight-bed alternative detention program (ADP), which opened 211 days in 2012.
"It's staff secure, not physically secure," Dama said. "It had an almost 58-percent occupancy rate."
ADP served 80 youth — 54 males and 26 females, 69 African Americans and 11 whites.
The residential treatment family services program admitted 28 youth. Eighteen were successfully released into the school furlough phase. Fourteen, or 78 percent, advanced to community re-entry. Ten were not successfully released, with five away without leave and five whose assaults on staff or parents constituted physical aggression that demanded a high degree of security.
Average length of stay for residential treatment was 247 days — eight months. The goal is six.
Of five youth placed on home detention, three successfully fulfilled it and two failed.
There were 112 assigned to tether — a "high number" — with 68 (61 percent) successful and 37 (33 percent) unsuccessful. Seven remained active in 2013.
In January, BCJC saw 14 law enforcement referrals, with six accepted, six denied and two approved, but not delivered. Two came by court order, seven by J-5's.
The current detention center population, 12, consisted of nine males and three females.
Dama oversees a staff of about 40. Two positions are vacant, though assistant supervisor should be filled by the end of this week after interviewing applicants last week.
The other opening is for a youth specialist.
BCJC at full strength has a clinical treatment services manager, an assistant director, an executive secretary, three supervisors, three assistant supervisors, a food services coordinator, two cooks, two reintegration and family services coordinators, a therapist, three case managers and 22 youth specialists.
New case manager James Panozzo started Feb. 18.

Yummy! A dream come true kind of a smoothie, really delicious and guilt-free too if you use non-fat milk and low-fat ice-cream like I did :) This is a treat for the little ones during summer time. The blend of the flavours is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
DELICIOUS! This drink is creamy and very satisfying! I used skim milk, light ice cream and original chocolate Ovaltine. Even with the low fat it still tasted like a million bucks. Thanks for posting! Made for Alphabet Chef Soup Tag game.

Sunday morning I hurt my back. Im not sure what I have done to it but I am in a lot of pain. This morning I went to my family doctor she wants me to go see an orthopedic doctor. So I will be trying to get into one as soon as possible. We are all ready short staffed at work so needless to say my boss was not happy when I had to call in and my family doctor told me she wants me to stay out till Thursday. Please pray for a speedy recovery and patience and understanding from my coworkers.

Yesterday my brother was fired from his job of 10 years and accused of embezzling $130,000. He did not do this. He is the most honest person you would ever meet. He doesn't even drive 1 mile over the speed limit. The business owner is to let my brother know today if he is going to press charges. This is a federal offense punishable with 4+ years in prison. He is a husband and father to 3 of the most precious boys. Our families have been able to come up with the $130k if the business owner is willing to accept it - cashing out 401k, emptying savings accounts and my 65 year old parents possibly mortgaging their house. Please pray fervently!

Please pray for my almost 17 year old granddaughter, who had a baby 2 mo ago and gave it up for adoption to a wonderful Christian couple and whose mother has been gravely ill. She feels very isolated and lonely and needs good Christian friends and to hear God speaking to her heart about her future and her choices. We want her to become a young woman of God whose baby will be proud of her one day when he is old enough to understand.

Please pray for Cameron with ADHD. He is struggling very hard in school right now, and needs to be able to concentrate so he can catch up on his school work and pass his grade. Pray specifically for satan to be bound from his mind and God will give him clarity to study and get his work in school. ADHD children have a hard time focusing. But we know that with prayers God can clear that mind so he can focus. Thank you so much!!

Regions And Its Associates Give Back Through Share The Good
Regions Bank associates in 16 states kick off the company's annual Share the Good campaign today. Share the Good is a month-long, company-wide effort to give back to the local communities served by the bank through service, education and volunteerism. Share the Good activities include providing veterans and active duty military families free admission to the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere and collecting toys for foster and disadvantaged children in Alabama and Mississippi. Florida bankers will be participating in a food for kids backpacks program and hundreds of bankers will teach financial literacy classes in Illinois, Texas, Indiana, and Georgia.Each year during Share the Good weeks, Regions associates work to support community and non-profit organizations by providing financial education opportunities and collecting needed goods and supplies. Share the Good runs throughout the month of November, with individual areas and cities setting aside one week to make a difference. "Banking is about more than deposits and loans," said Rick Swagler, director of external affairs. "For us, it's about developing strong communities and providing better opportunities for everyone. Share the Good taps into our associates' passion to make a difference where they live and work, creating a powerful combination that benefits everyone." Regions provides associates with a paid day off each year to volunteer in the community through its What a Difference A Day Makes program. Regions' commitment to Social Responsibility and giving back is catalogued in the company's yearly Social Responsibility Report.

I stayed one night in a private single room. It was very spacious with a sofa, single bed and basic fan. This hostel is located close to the bus station in a quiet street, not much around but 5 mins to walk to the centre. There was no atmosphere here but a good place to stay if you are looking for a quiet place to lay your head. It was clean and tidy but not sure I would stay again due to lack of atmosphere.

Stayed here in September. Was really disappointed with room - looked nothing like the pictures on Hostelworld (bedroom, kitchen and bathroom). One positive A/C worked well! Manager gave us a map on arrival which was good, but didn't see him again for the rest of our stay. No curtains for bathroom windows and so no privacy.

One thin towel for a four night stay is not enough. Otherwise it is a great place. I would stay there again without a doubt Hosts are very pleasant and helpful

If you need a few nights of peace and quiet away from a hostel dorm, this is the place to do it. Good price for what you go, access to a great kitchen, and friendly staff.
