Voyeur : August 2010
021 AUGUST hamilton island What is it about Hamilton Island Race Week that attracts so much attention? It's about racing hard and playing hard. It's incredible just being out there so close to so many other boats. We all love the excitement of racing in such close quarters and the sailing divisions up here are fantastic. Plus, we normally get back in time in the afternoon to enjoy a few beers, so that can't be a bad thing! Speaking of which, how much beer do you get through during Race Week? [Laughs] Last year we went through 20 cases between 12 of us. We don't drink while we race -- you can have enough problems on a boat without that -- but afterwards we love to socialise and relax. How does this compare to other races you've competed in around the world? I haven't really had the opportunity to race internationally yet, but that is something I'd like to do. Hamilton Island Race Week is typically Australian in that it's always fun and everyone comes up here for the same reason -- to enjoy themselves and have fun. Of course, you have the guys who take it pretty seriously, but you can be a serious racer and still have a good time. I think that's what it's all about. Why should people come here during Race Week? This is such a beautiful place and there's always something to do, from jetskiing to riding in catamarans. It's a great place for families, and we have crew members coming up with their families during Race Week. Have you ever had any hairy moments when you've been out on the water? [Laughs] Two years ago, it was blowing about 25 knots and we put the biggest spinnaker up. We were going off the breeze, the tide was against us and the waves were going the opposite way. We were pitching in a six foot swell and we drove off one of the waves with this huge 200-square-metre kite up. We actually dived straight through the next wave. It was the closest we've ever come to disaster, but it was a lot of fun too. What are you most looking forward to? The camaraderie and spending time with the crew. There are thousands of people up here during Race Week and you get to catch up with people you might not have seen for years. SMOOTH SAILING Former world champion surf ski paddler Warren Buchan is the 100th entrant in Audi Hamilton Island Race Week. He has competed in the event twice before and hopes this year he'll be third time lucky. Hamilton Island Race Week is typically Australian in that it's always fun and everyone comes up here for the same reason -- to enjoy themselves. Warren Buchan and his fiancée, Kristy, look forward to competing in this year's race on their yacht, Colortile.

Blue Monday is gone and you could win the lottery at any moment
Tuesday, January 14, 2014 4:00 PM
For many people, a new year represents a time of hope and change, the chance to make your life better, and to better the lives of those around you. It presents a whole new wonder of possibilities. It is a new beginning.
That's all garbage.
Jan. 6 was dubbed as Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year, according to an analysis of 2 million Tweets. Although I don't Tweet, I felt a true kinship with those depressed Tweeters. I fought fiercely with an ugly scowl, certain my face would be stuck like that for the rest of the year, and then wrestled with the realization that we were all kissing goodbye to the warm, fuzzy festivities, the gifts, the days off from work, the hot cocoa and eggnog, stuffed platters, turkey leftovers, happy co-workers, cheerful bosses, charitable gestures, candy canes, the indoor smell of pine, food bank donations, Christmas bonuses, selfless giving, staring at gifts under the tree, homemade Christmas cookies, spreadable cheese and not counting calories and hello to a whole year ahead of full work weeks, new policies, the expectation that you will keep your nose to the grindstone, spent bonuses, empty wallets, holiday pounds to shed, tax season and nine full months until the holiday season rolls around again and you can be merry and cheerful.
Hello to the empty corner where the Christmas tree sat. Goodbye to the blow up Santa on your lawn. Goodbye to store shelves full of candy in October. Farewell to low-priced bread platters decorated with colorful turkeys in November and see ya' all next year to shiny green, red and white ribbons in December. Hello to the daily grind. Up early to a lot of caffeine, a grueling workday, the caffeine crash, far too little sleep and then it starts all over again and over and over and over ...
Sound depressing? Yup. Me too. And it's not just on Blue Monday. For many people, that rotten scowl lasts for most of January when you realize the three jolly, happy months of goodwill and cheer are over and are now followed by nine months of drudging through a daily overwhelming routine interspersed with splinter-like slivers of weekends. Hello Friday. Aaahhhhh. Breathe. Hello Monday. Hand me my coffee. Life.
Now, keep in mind, I am not referring to fellow co-workers, who may also be wearing a scowl, or the office brownie-baker, who may at this time be bringing in stale fruitcake. I am talking about work, the job you do every day, whether it is laying out orange cones on a highway or corralling a classroom full of nose-pickers. There are just things we all have to grin and bear such as customers who are always right and people who think cops enjoy writing out speeding tickets to crying teenagers.
One thing that always eases the January blues is winning the lottery and this could happen at any moment. I just read in Reader's Digest a little piece on what lottery winners have to say to the rest of us. One of the things was that "you haven't lived until someone picks up the laundry from your front porch and brings it back to you that night, completely done and neatly folded." I wish I could unread this because now it is all I will wish for for the rest of my life.
Just the one chance of letting someone else pull all of your husband's long sleeve shirts from inside his short sleeve work shirts and then having to turn them all right-side out amidst static electricity that makes your hair stand on its end.
Just that once I'd like to let someone else lose one sock and have to make the life altering decision of what to do with its mate. Just once to be spared that breath-holding moment of wondering "did the stain come out?" Letting someone else hear the washing machine pound out of balance on spin mode and have to get up to realign all of the sopping wet clothes.
That feeling for one moment that you have enough money that you can pay someone to do something for you that you could have easily done yourself. Maybe that is the reason we give to those people who sit on street corners, because it feels good to know we have a few extra dollars and that we can, because maybe just by lifting someone else's day, you can tag along and have yours lifted too, kind of like an airless balloon floating in the wind, attached to a balloon that looks so full you wonder if it will pop at any moment. Of course, it won't and neither will you.
Handing out change to homeless people may take all day in a big city but in a small town, you might only see one or two people a month. I know I am not alone in thinking that maybe they just don't want to work. Maybe they just got tired of finding all of the green M & M's gone in the candy bowl. Perhaps they ran out of tolerance for empty toilet paper rolls and people borrowing tape. It is quite possible that they grew bitter from seeing the endless hourglasses on their computer screens and finding crumbs on their keyboards. But, wouldn't you rather give to someone who might not need it than risk not giving to someone who truly does? How can drivers pass by these people and just not care, I ask myself.
Yes, I am talking to you, the same person who collects food bank items at work during the holiday season. Remember why you are collecting this food and who you are collecting it for and be this person all year long, especially on Blue Monday and throughout January. Continue to give presents and collect food. Make sure your candy bowl is always full.
It may be a long, grueling nine months of laboring day in and day out in a germ-infested office, of getting up before the crack of dawn and falling into bed dog tired with a brain that feels old and moldy, but I guarantee that if you give a dollar to that homeless person on the street corner and hear him or her say, "God bless you," which he or she always will, that it will make you smile. It will be a mini holiday for your heart amidst a long, cold and lonely nine months. It will make you forget that you spent your holiday bonus on an ergonomic office chair that squeaks. It will fill your limp balloon with air and enable you to realize that those nine months may include post holiday sales, chocolate on Valentine's Day, birthday gifts, Fourth of July fireworks, summer rain, new friendships, green M & M's, gooey brownies, tax returns, a new computer at work, a faded scowl, corny jokes, kids who grow out of picking their noses and writing your first column.
So, if you happen to be that person, and most of us are, who will set your dirty laundry out on your front porch and walk out a day later and see that it is still sitting there, well, cheer up. It's not so bad. Your socks may decide to mate for life and you may suddenly realize that you have a whole year ahead of you of new and wonderful opportunities, and that maybe instead of seeing your laundry basket as half full, you may only see it as half empty and suddenly feel hope that you may win the lottery ... because this could happen at any moment.

The USFL, or United States Football League, was an American professional football league that competed for three seasons. While it lost 163 million dollars in that time, it is considered to be the strongest rival league to the NFL dominance of American football since the old AFL.
In the end this is a story about a league that had a plan, failed to follow that plan and let arrogance, new brash millionaire owners, weak central leadership, and the NFL itself beat it into submission.
The USFL was the dream of a New Orleans antiques dealer David Dixon. Dixon had been instrumental in bringing the Saints into the NFL in 1965, but saw football as not only a fall sport but a sport for spring and summer as well.
Dixon spent the next 15 years studying the latest two challenges to the NFL dominance; the AFL and the World Football League. In 1980 he hired a hired a marketing agency to do a study on the feasibility of a spring and summer professional football league. The results found that such a league was viable and Dixon moved to the next step of building a new league.
Dixon signed up 12 cities, 9 of which already had a NFL franchise, for the opening USFL season of 1983. He quickly reached a TV deal with ABC sports and the then fledgling ESPN. The TV rights were sold off for 13 million in 1983, 16 million in 1984 and 1985. Each year ABC was paying 9 million of the total rate. In accordance with this ESPN President Chet Simmons was hired to be the Commissioner of the new league.
From the jump the USFL had a number of issues among stadiums and ownerships groups most located in the state of California. Since California, and Los Angeles in particular, was deemed important enough that the league had to cut several deals to maintain its presence in the Golden state.
That first year the USFL did pretty good in drawing fans in, with 12 teams operating they were able to lure 2.7 million fans out to spring and summer football. Their games averaged 25,031 fans each and were led by the Denver Gold who were able to draw in over 40 thousand fans per home game.
The new leagues now faced a decision, should it continue with the Dixon plan that called for the expansion to 16 teams in its second season, a salary cap of 1.8 million dollars, a regional draft that would keep local players with established fan bases more loyal to the USFL, or pursue a league filled with stars that could more directly compete with the NFL.
New ownership blood, most notably Donald Trump in New Jersey, Eddie Einhorn in Chicago, and J William Oldenburg convinced the league that pursing starts and spending money was the way to insure success. In many ways once the Generals were sold to Trump the die was cast on the survival of the league.
After another season of big losses by many of the teams, Trump and Einhorn convinced the other USFL owners that moving to a fall schedule to more directly compete with the NFL would lead to a merger of the two leagues and the USFL teams would be worth 70 million dollars each, the going rate for a NFL franchise.
Since loses were mounting many team were folding, and the decision by the league to move to a fall schedule was causing teams to move out of NFL dominated markets the league, after another season of loses in the millions came up with a hail mary play to save the league.
They decided to sue the NFL for violating the Sherman anti trust act claiming the NFL had an unlawful monopoly on TV contracts for American style football. They alleged that the NFL had a monopoly on TV broadcasting rights and in some cases access to stadium facilities.
The USFL also claimed that the NFL had bullied CBS, NBC, and ABC to not allow Fall USFL games onto their air. They also claimed that he NFL had conspired to ruin the Oakland Invaders and the New Jersey Generals.
The USFL sought 567 million dollars in damages, which would have been tripled by law to 1.7 billion dollars and proposed two resolutions. The first that the NFL have to renegotiate their TV deals with only two national networks, or have the NFL split into two 14 team leagues with a TV deal with one national TV network a piece.
After a 42 day trial the USFL was able to convince the Jury that the NFL was indeed an unlawful monopoly. However the jurors only awarded the new league 1 dollar in damages, which was tripled to three dollars. Also under this law the USFL was later able to get the NFL to pay back their legal and court fees a number that ended up being around six million dollars.
There are rumors that the jury incorrectly thought that the Judge could impose is own dollar amount on the award, but for all practical purposes the USFL was dead.
In the end it was the USFL owners themselves that sealed the fate of this league. They were unwilling to stick to a solid plan of expansion, unwilling to adhere to a salary cap, and in the end dreams of owning a NFL franchise and triple their initial investments led the league to make many very unwise business decisions.

Oh well, I was hoping they were Crowns. Thanks for your time & the info.
Sorry, but the only digital camera I have @ home is this lousey cell phone. The black mic is a GLM200 for comparison. The wire around the white 'neck' was not put there be me, it must have been used for positioning the head, like a gooseneck. The screen on 'white' is slightly wider than the GLM200 and sits lower on the body of the head. ...Bad terminology. I know, but I hope this helps. Thanks
psquali posted a topic in Microphones - General DiscussionI recently bought 4 crown mics from eBay. One of the mics I know is a GLM-200. The other 3 are a mystery. They look just like an older version of a GLM, meaning that the head looks like it's made from a harder material than current GLM's. They are white [or painted white], have very long cords from the diaphram to the XLR connection, and have an "H" on the back side of the head. I've tried to remove the paint @ the XLR where the label would typically be but there is no label. Can anyone help or tell me what brand & model these are? Thanks in advance.

Today, at work, I was screamed at and slapped by a woman for supposedly violating her 2nd Amendment rights. In reality, I'd simply turned her away from the 10 items or less line because she had well over the allowed number of items. I've no fucking idea what's wrong with some people. FML

ok so just recently my fiance and I decided to move in together. he's 43 years old. Anywho. I knew all about his criminal record and all and it took me while to decide not to use it against him and give it a chance. I've known him for 7 years and he's been head over heels in love with me for that long. Anyways, I decided to let him move in with me into my apartment. Keep in mind I have a 1 year old daughter. Anywho we walk up to the office and I get him an application to fill out so he can be added to the lease. Then he makes a disturbing confession. When he was 17 years old he got a charge for molesting a 12 year old girl. This was 25 years ago and he said yes it is on his adult record and he was convicted. So I told him that to go ahead and fill out the paperwork and turn it in and my landlord will decide if he can stay or not. I already know she's not going to let him stay. HE just has to hear it come out of her mouth. he's not on the sex offender registry because he said they started the sex offender registry in 1996 and this was back in 1989. Should I end things with him? there's a lot of reasons why I dont think we will work out. Number 1, he's too old for me I think
number 2. I just dont feel attracted to him. I mean when we have sex I think about my ex! and number 3. I dont know if I can trust him especially with that charge he got. Should I end things with him? I need opinions. Thanks in advance.
IF he WAS convicted as an adult and whether or not he's on the sex offender registry he has to leave. MY mom said he couldve been convicted as a minorr. We will see.

Medicaid & Telemedicine Reimbursement
Medicaid reimbursement for telemedicine can vary widely from state-to-state.
Here's a quick summary of the overall trends, and tips to navigate your own state's Medicaid policies.
Almost all state Medicaid programs offer some sort of coverage for telemedicine, usually for live video. Some states reimburse for telemedicine with few restrictions, while others have more limited coverage.
A recent telemedicine policy report from the American Telemedicine Association (ATA) has an excellent, in-depth analysis of state Medicaid coverage for telemedicine.
Here are some of the key findings:
- [tweetme text="48 state Medicaid programs cover telemedicine"]
- [tweetme text="24 states cover telehealth for state employee plans"]
- [tweetme text="24 states and DC have no specific requirements for the patient location"]
- [tweetme text="25 states recognize the patient home as an originating site"]
- [tweetme text="82% of U.S. states cover telemedicine state-wide, with no restrictions on distance between provider and patient"]
- [tweetme text=" 15 states and DC don't have liminations on which healthcare provider can do telemedicine"]
While the ATA report shows there's still room for improvement, the nation is trending toward broader coverage for telemedicine.
As you're researching your state Medical policies, also keep in mind that your state Medicaid handbook may not yet reflect the most recent policies passed. Some programs haven't quite caught up yet to the flood of new telemedicine policy. That's why it's always best to contact your state Medicaid program and verify the telemedicine guidelines as you're getting started.
Need some more help navigating your state Medicaid guidelines? No problem. Let's drill down to the common requirements that many state Medicaid programs put on telemedicine coverage. Here's a quick summary.
Patient Setting
Patient setting (also called "originating site") means where the patient is at the time of the telemedicine service. Traditionally, an eligible patient setting for telemedicine was limited to specific kinds of health facilities, often located within a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA).
With telemedicine technology increasingly moving to flexible online and mobile solutions that let patients and providers videochat via cell phone, this requirement can really get in the way. Many patients look to telemedicine visits as a way to get quick medical care in their homes.
The good news is that many state Medicaid programs are moving away from this restriction. Currently, 24 states plus DC don't have any restrictions on the patient location, and 25 states recognize the home as an eligible originating site.
Type of Telemedicine
There are many different types of telemedicine — the primary one is live video, followed by store-and-forward (saving and sending medical data), and remote patient monitoring (watching how a patient is doing from afar).
A majority of state Medicaid programs only cover live video telemedicine. Only Alabama, Alaska, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, and Texas cover remote patient monitoring and store-and-forward, in addition to live video.
Hopefully as these states start to show the powerful effects of alternative forms of telemedicine, other states will start to follow their lead.
Geography restrictions
In the past, many state Medicaid programs only covered telemedicine in cases where patients lived far away from health providers, in remote or rural areas. States would set a specific distance requirement or geographic area that a patient would need to meet to be eligible for telemedicine.
Luckily,most states are trending away from this type of restriction now. In fact, 82% of states offer state-wide telemedicine coverage and have no geographic limits.
Eligible Providers
While all states with telemedicine coverage let physicians practice telemedicine, state Medicaid programs often restrict what other healthcare providers can also do telemedicine.
Currently 15 states plus DC don't have this restriction – meaning any healthcare provider is eligible! The rest of the states have a set list of eligible providers, and only 4 states limit coverage to physicians only.
Covered Health Services
The majority of states cover telemedicine for standard office visits, but only some have additional coverage for specialty services like echocardiograms, mental health counseling, telerehabilitation, or even ultrasounds.
Check your state's policy to see what services are covered.

As the World Series dawns for another year, memories of past Fall Classics flood the mind, including 1950, the last time the Phillies and Yankees met for the title.
Bob Kimball researches the matchups from that year and the 2009 showdown.
At baseball.usatoday.com, USA TODAY has chosen 10 Series nuggets for fans to chew on — from Joe Carter's walk-off homer to clinch the 1993 World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays to Enos Slaughter's mad dash to score the winning run in 1946 for St. Louis.
Maybe you like Don Larsen's perfect game for the New York Yankees in 1956 or Jack Morris' 10-inning, Game 7 shutout for the Minnesota Twins in 1991.
Or maybe there's a golden October moment that we missed that's a favorite of yours. (Cookie Lavagetto's two-out double for the Brooklyn Dodgers to bust up Bill Bevens' 1947 no-hitter or Bob Gibson's 17-strikeout game against the Detroit Tigers to open the 1968 Fall Classic come to mind)

It has acquired Snakes and Ladders, which manages venture playground facilities, and Yorkshire Playgrounds which installs and runs themed leisure facilities. With the purchase of Snakes and Ladders, Crown says that it has secured the services of its managing director, David Griffiths. Mr Griffiths was previously the chief executive of Wembley Stadium and the Queen Elizabeth Jubilee Sports Centre, Hong Kong. The deal has been struck on an earn-out basis which will be calculated as a maximum of twice profits before tax in the third year.
Crown said the acquisition of Yorkshire Playgrounds will also be paid by way of an earn-out calculation over one year. Crown is taking advantage of the increasing number of leisure centres and retailers keen to offer a diversion to younger children.
Crown came to the Alternative Investment Market last December after acquiring a fine art stationery group. It is also distributing a range of arts and craft products based on Walt Disney characters. In June, the company completed its fifth acquisition when it acquired RGM Originals, a greetings card specialist.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to automatic speech recognition modules and more specifically to a system and method of decomposing a lattice transition matrix into a block diagonal matrix.
2. Introduction
A lattice is a mathematic structure that compactly describes sequences of discrete events. The present invention is disclosed in the context of one of many uses of lattices. In large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR), the word search space, which is prohibitively large, is commonly approximated by word lattices. Usually these word lattices are acyclic and have no a-priori structures. Their transitions are weighted by acoustic and language model probabilities. More recently a new class of normalized word lattices has been proposed. These word lattices (a.k.a. sausages) are more efficient than canonic word lattices and they provide an alignment for all the strings in the word lattices. The present invention relates to a general framework for lattice chunking. One way to characterize the present invention is the pivot algorithm or method. In terms of state transition matrix, the present invention corresponds to decomposing the lattice transition matrix into a block diagonal (chunk) matrix.
In order to describe the manner in which the above-recited and other advantages and features of the invention can be obtained, a more particular description of the invention briefly described above will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings. Understanding that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are not therefore to be considered to be limiting of its scope, the invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings in which:
In terms of automatic speech recognition, sausages are very efficient and they provide a normalization or chunking of the lattice by aligning words from all possible hypotheses. The present invention relates to a system and method of providing a general framework for lattice chunking. The method is referred to herein as the pivot algorithm. There are four important components of the pivot algorithm. First, the time information is not necessary but is beneficial for the overall performance. Second, the algorithm allows the definition of a predefined chunk structure of the final word lattice. Third, the algorithm operates on both weighted and unweighted lattices. Fourth, the labels on the graph are generic and could be words as well as part of speech tags or parse tags.
While the algorithm has applications to many tasks (e.g., parsing, named entity extraction), the invention is described herein with reference to speech recognition results on the performance of word confidence scores for different large vocabulary speech recognition tasks. When compared with the results of our algorithms against off-the-shelf methods, the present invention shows significant improvements.
As mentioned above, there are four important components of the pivot algorithm: 1) the time information computed using the frame numbers is not necessary but is beneficial for the overall performance (the timing information is expressed in the states of the word lattice and corresponds to frame numbers of the speech files or the audio files.); 2) the algorithm allows the definition of a predefined chunk structure for the final lattice; 3) the algorithm operates on both weighted and unweighted lattices; and 4) the labels on the graph are generic and could be words as well as part of speech tags or parse tags.
The method is described herein in the context of automatic speech recognition (ASR). Lattice chunking has the clear advantage of normalizing the search space of word hypotheses. The advantages of these normalized lattices are in terms of memory and computation. In terms of memory, the resulting structures (pivots) are much smaller in size (order of magnitudes), while preserving accuracy of the original search space. In terms of computation, the normalized matrices have the compositional property. Suppose that one wants to compute the word string with lowest weight, Cmin, among all strings W=wl, . . . , wk, . . . wN in the lattice:
where Wl=vl, . . . vk, . . . vM is the set of word strings recognized by the lth lattice chunk, ml.
There are many applications where these properties have been very useful. In the case of weighted lattices, the transition probabilities on the pivots can also be used as word confidence scores. The posterior probabilities on the most probable path of the resulting pivot alignment have been used as confidence scores for unsupervised learning of language models and active learning for ASR. The pivot structure of competing word hypotheses, as well as their confidence scores, have been used for improving spoken language understanding, machine translation and named entity extraction. The compositional property has been extended to the case of weighted string costs. Presented herein is the application of the pivot algorithm to the computation of word confidence scores for all the strings in a word lattice. Although not limited to this context, results are presented herein on the performance of confidence scores for a large vocabulary continuous speech recognition task.
The sausage algorithm that has been proposed by others is designed to reduce word error rate and is thus biased towards automatic speech recognition. The pivot algorithm according to the present invention is general and aims to normalize the topology of any input graph according to a canonic form.
The pivot baseline can be the best path or the longest path of the lattice, as well as any random path. The process of extracting the pivot baseline path from the lattice can be accomplished in many different ways. Further, the pivot baseline path is not a unique point or set of points in the word lattice. For example, in most experiments performed by the inventors, either the best or the longest path was used. Thus, the pivot baseline can be extracted in numerous ways and can represent different data.
The states on the pivot alignment baseline are assumed to inherit their time information from the lattice. According to the present invention, the time information is not necessary, but is beneficial for the overall performance. A time slot ts(T) of transition T is defined as the speech interval between the starting and ending time frames of T.
For all transitions T in the topologically ordered lattice, the steps described below are taken (106). In the lattice, each transition overlapping ts(T) is a competitor of T, but competitors having the same word label was T are allies. All the posterior probabilities of the allies of transition T are summed to obtain what is called a posterior probability of word w. The rationale of this operation is to try to avoid missing the important contribution of the same word, often due to very small differences in alignment. To compute the sum of the posterior probabilities of all transitions labeled with word w that correspond to the same instance, the lattice in a topological order is traversed and the method inserts all transitions into the pivot alignment baseline, finally forming the pivot alignment. The method next comprises finding the most overlapping location on the baseline (108), defined by a source and a destination state.
Continuing with the description of the flowchart of
Returning back to step 110, if the topology of the lattice would be hurt by the insertion of T to that location, the method creates a new location by inserting a new state in between source and destination (118). The method adjusts all the transitions to the destination state by making them point to the newly inserted state and inserts the current transition from the lattice in between the newly created state and the destination state (118). In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the newly inserted state is assigned the mean of the times of source and destination states as a location.
When the time information is not available, the method assigns each state of the lattice its approximate location on the overall lattice. According to this, the initial state is assigned a location 0 and the final states that do not have any outgoing transition are assigned a location 1. All the other states in between are assigned a real number in (0, 1), obtained by dividing the average length of all paths up to that state by the average length of all paths that go through that state. These numbers can be computed by a forward and a backward pass through the lattice. The inventors prefer to use these approximate state locations to obtain ts(T). In an initial state, ts(T)=0 and in a final state, ts(T)=1. The pivot algorithm runs in O(n�k) time, where n is the number of state transitions in the lattice and k is the number of chunks in the resulting structure, which usually is much less than n. For example, if the best path is used as the pivot baseline, then k is the length of the best path plus the number of state insertions made.
The inventors performed a series of experiments to test the quality of the pivot alignments and the confidence scores on them. These experiments used a test set of 2,174 utterances (31,018 words) from the database of the AT&T's "How May I Help You?" system for customer care (HMIHY). The language models used in all the experiments are trigram models based on Variable N-gram Stochastic Automata. The acoustic models are subword unit based, with tri-phone context modeling and variable number of Gaussians (4-24). The word accuracy of the test set when recognized with these models is 66.2%, and the oracle accuracy of the output lattices is 85.7%. Oracle accuracy is the word accuracy of the path in the lattice closest to the reference sequences. It is an upper-bound on the word accuracy that can be obtained using these lattices. To assess the quality of confidence scores on pivot alignments, the inventors plot ROC curves of false rejection versus false acceptance. False rejection is the percentage of words that are correctly recognized in the ASR output but are rejected as their confidence score is below some threshold. False acceptance is the percentage of words that are misrecognized but are accepted as their confidence score is above that same threshold. False rejection and false acceptance are computed with various thresholds to form the ROC curve.
Another method for testing the quality of the confidence scores is checking the percentage of correctly recognized words for given confidence scores. One may expect k % of the words having the confidence score of k/100 to be correct.
To assess the quality of the pivot alignments, the inventors computed oracle accuracies after pruning the pivot alignments with two different criteria. In Table 1, the oracle accuracies after pruning the pivot alignments by using a threshold for posterior probability are presented.
Oracle Accuracy
Any arc that has a posterior probability less than k has been pruned from the pivot alignment and the oracle accuracy has been computed on the pruned pivot alignment. Table 2 presents the oracle accuracies after pruning the pivot alignments using the rank of the transitions.
Oracle Accuracy
In between all two states connected by a transition, only the top I transitions that have the highest posterior probability has been retained when computing the oracle accuracy. For example, if one uses only the two transitions that have the highest posterior probabilities, one can achieve an oracle accuracy of 75.5%. These numbers indicate that, using the top candidates in the pivot alignments instead of just the ASR 1-best hypothesis, it is possible to be more robust to ASR errors. The sizes of the pivot alignments are much smaller than the corresponding lattices. In tests, the size of the pivot alignments is 7% of the size of the lattices.
The method embodiment of the present invention does not require any time information on the input lattice, and the labels of the lattice can be words as well as part of speech tags or parse tags.
Embodiments within the scope of the present invention may also include computer-readable media or tangible computer-readable media for carrying or having computer-executable instructions or data structures stored thereon. Such computer-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer. By way of example, and not limitation, such computer-readable media can comprise RAM, ROM, EEPROM, CD-ROM or other optical disk storage, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to carry or store desired program code means in the form of computer-executable instructions or data structures. When information is transferred or provided over a network or another communications connection (either hardwired, wireless, or combination thereof) to a computer, the computer properly views the connection as a computer-readable medium. Thus, any such connection is properly termed a computer-readable medium. Combinations of the above should also be included within the scope of the computer-readable media. Tangible computer-readable media expressly excludes wireless connections, wireless signals, and signals per se.
Computer-executable instructions include, for example, instructions and data which cause a general purpose computer, special purpose computer, or special purpose processing device to perform a certain function or group of functions. Computer-executable instructions also include program modules that are executed by computers in stand-alone or network environments. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, and data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Computer-executable instructions, associated data structures, and program modules represent examples of the program code means for executing steps of the methods disclosed herein. The particular sequence of such executable instructions or associated data structures represents examples of corresponding acts for implementing the functions described in such steps.
Those of skill in the art will appreciate that other embodiments of the invention may be practiced in network computing environments with many types of computer system configurations, including personal computers, hand-held devices, multi-processor systems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, and the like. Embodiments may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by local and remote processing devices that are linked (either by hardwired links, wireless links, or by a combination thereof) through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
Although the above description may contain specific details, they should not be construed as limiting the claims in any way. Other configurations of the described embodiments of the invention are part of the scope of this invention. For example, a matrix generated according to the method described above is within the scope of the invention. Further, the data associated with a lattice that may be linearized into a block diagonal matrix may relate to any string of symbols. In the context of language processing, the lattice data may relate to named entities, city names as labels, telephone numbers as labels, or any data related to natural language processing. The linearization process can enable a visualization of a lattice wherein the previously unstructured data can be visualized after linearization in a graphic form. Accordingly, the appended claims and their legal equivalents should only define the invention, rather than any specific examples given.

"Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a landmine. The landmine is me. After the explosion, I spend the rest of the day putting the pieces together."
Isn't that the truth? I think we're back to a functional format. Yesterday I snuck out to buy more cold medicine and things like- food when my phone started giving me what seemed like 8000 alerts. That was strange since I had left the blog in a state of disrepair. I downloaded a new theme, left for my errands and had intended on messing around with it at some point that day. Instead, I unloaded the groceries and sat down for 4 hours trying to undo the damage that I had created.
My plan to self-host and upgrade the blog stems from a desire to have full control over my content. I knew there would be a learning curve. I did not expect it to be so steep and at a time when my family obligations were overwhelming. If you have kids with asthma, you'll know that when they are struggling to breathe- that is where your entire mind resides.
I did enjoy the gibberish that was filler in those fake posts- Blue bottle aesthetic asymmetrical could be my new band name.
In the process of moving, I lost a lot of followers, and I have to move each post back over and republish it. I'm just going to do that as time allows. I knew I was going to have to do this eventually and better now than a year from now when I'd have twice as many posts. It's like pulling off a band-aid. Now that it's off I can actually get started. Thank you for your patience!

We truly enjoyed our stay at Runaway Bay! There was so much to do. My family enjoyed playing shuffleboard and tennis! The bikes were a big hit! We spent most afternoons in the pool. The beach was just a very short walk from the condo. We especially loved the beach chairs and beach towels. With powdery sand and limited crowds, what more could you ask for! In addition, we used the trolley most evenings. Be sure to visit Bridge St for outside entertainment by the water. I would definitely recommend this condo for couples or families! Plenty of room with everything that you need for an enjoyable vacation! Thank you, Steve!
Anna Maria island is the perfect place for a relaxing break , the beach is stunning and the restaurants great. Steve and debbies condo is perfect and Steve is a pleasure to deal with , thanks for a great stay . Mark and Tania Rogers Hampshire UK
Steve was very accommodating and was always available to answer all of our questions even though he is in the U.K. We stayed Dec 18, 2016 through Jan 31, 2017. The condo was very clean and everything we needed for every day use was readil available. We liked the location being near the center of AMI. Our favorite beach was always Coquina and we went there almost everyday so we did not use the pool. However the pool was clean and very nice. Our disappointment came from the sofa and love seat. The sofa seat cushions slanted drastically to the back and made it impossible to use unless you used one of many sofa pillows behind your back and sides. One seat cushion on the love seat kept sliding forward. I would have given 4.5 stars if not for the seating.
What a great stay and the location helped a lot! We were able to do everything and was short distance from our spots. Perfect size for the 4 of us. Allowed us to be roomy, chill and relaxed instead of being cramped in a hotel room. Steve was awesome to work with and talk to. Very polite and responsive. Thanks for an awesome stay. Will do it again Fosho
This is our 3rd time to stay at Runaway Bay and our 2nd in this unit. We found everything we needed and more supplied for us in the condo. We enjoyed playing in the waves at the beach, relaxing at the pool, as well as beautiful sunsets! Restaurants were within walking distance, and the kids enjoyed the bikes. We come to visit relatives in Bradenton yearly, but like to have our own place to stay. We definitely will try to get this unit again!
Thank you Steve for allowing my family and I to rent your condo. You were excellent to work with and your condo was exactly what we needed. The pictures do not do it justice. All of the beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and it was such a nice atmosphere. The beach was literally across the street! The price was perfect!

Periodic and Oscillatory MotionA phenomenon, process or motion, which repeats itself after equal intervals of time, is called periodic.
If a body moves to and fro repeatedly about a mean position it is called oscillatory motion.
For a body to oscillate or vibrate three conditions must be satisfied.
- The body must have inertia to keep it moving across the midpoint of its path.
- There must be a restoring force (elastic etc.) to accelerate the body towards the midpoint.
- The frictional force acting on the body against its motion must be small.
Examples for Periodic Motion
- Heart beat of a person; period about 0.83s for a normal person.
- Motion of earth around the sun; period is one year.
- Motion of Halley's comet around the sun; period is 76 years.
Examples for Oscillatory Motion
Oscillations of a simple pendulum
Vibrations of a mass attached to a spring
Quivering of the strings of musical instruments etc.
Motion of the earth is periodic but not oscillatory because it is not to and fro.
Period and FrequencyAny motion that repeats itself at regular intervals of time is called periodic motion. The smallest interval of time after which the motion is repeated is called its period. The period can be represented as T.
- The period of vibrations of a quartz crystal is expressed in units of microseconds (10-6s).
- The orbital period of the planet mercury is 88 earth days.
A block of mass is attached to a spring, the other end of which is fixed to a rigid wall. The block moves on a frictionless surface. The motion of the block can be described in terms of its distance or displacement x from the wall.
Suppose we consider an oscillating simple pendulum, its motion can be described in terms of angular displacement θ from the vertical.
So the displacement can be expressed in terms of mathematical function of time. In case of periodic motion, this function is periodic in time.
The simplest periodic function can be written as:
f(t) = A Cos ω t (or) f(t) = A Sin ω t
ω is the angular frequency of the oscillation. The argument ω t in the above function can be increased by an integral multiple of 2π radians.
The above function will remain the same for each increment of 2π radians. So its period can be expressed as:
f(t) = f(t+T)
Furthermore, any periodic function can be expressed as a linear combination of sine and cosine functions.
f(t) = A Sin
ω t + B Cos ω t
By choosing A = D Cos
φ and B = D Sin φ , the above function can be written as,
f(t) = D Sin (
ω t + φ )
Where D and
φ are constants and can be found by squaring and adding the equation A = D Cos φ and B = D Sin φ ,
A2 + B2 = D2 Cos2
φ +D2 Sin2 φ = D2 (Cos2 φ + Sin2 φ )
Dividing the equation
