Facsimile machines, cellular telephones and browsing the Internet has fueled the demand for telephone numbers. The burgeoning demand for telephone access has been frustrated by the present telephone system. [0003] A significant problem facing users of telecommunications technology is the inability to access familiar telephone functions while conducting a digital communication session. For example, while accessing the Internet, a computer-based answering machine connected to that same telephone line is unavailable for recording incoming messages. Thus, a need exists for a method and system of saving incoming messages, simultaneously and independently, of a digital communication session. [0004] Another problem is the inability to automatically identify and route incoming calls based on caller identification information while using a computer for modem communications. Also, users are unable to route incoming calls based on signal content while using a computer for modem communications. Thus, a need exists for a method and system of identifying and routing incoming telephone calls, simultaneously and independently, of a digital communication session. [0005] A further drawback is the inability to conduct a speakerphone conversation using a computer while the computer is engaged in a modem communication session. Thus, a need exists for a method and system of conducting speakerphone telephone calls, simultaneously and independently, of a digital communication session.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0043] One embodiment of the present invention, as described below, is a small office telecommunication system that provides traditional voice telephone service along with high speed Internet access, voice message saver functions, caller identification information, fax service, digital data communication and voice-over-data communication. The system enables a single copper telephone line to provide multiple communication services. In a typical application, the system is connected to a host computer and a telephone line, commonly referred to as POTS, “plain old telephone system.” When the computer is shut off, the system provides one set of telecommunication functions and when the computer is turned on, additional telecommunication functions are available. For example, caller identification information appears on the system display when the computer is shut off, and when the computer is turned on, the caller identification information appears as a pop-up display on the monitor of the computer. When connected to a local network of computers, the caller identification information appears on selected computers within the local network. [0044]FIG. 1 depicts one embodiment of the present subject matter in a typical application. In FIG. 1, the present subject matter, referred to herein as “system 200,” is coupled to both a host, or local, computer 275 and telephone 70. System 200 is also shown coupled to hub 59 and network 55 having three computers, computer 56, computer 57 and computer 58. It is understood that network 55 may have any number of computers and FIG. 1 depicts one representative embodiment having three.

System 200 is also coupled to wall power outlet 25 through power cord 27. Computer 275 is also coupled to monitor 277 and keyboard 276 by cables not visible in FIG. 1. System 200 is coupled to telephone 70 through cord 73. [0045] In one embodiment, system 200 operates using a digital subscriber line (“DSL”). Various types of DSL technologies are currently available and are referred to collectively as xDSL, where the letter x is A (for asymmetric), RA (for rate adaptive), H (for high bit rate) or any of a number of other variations. International Telecommunications Union (“ITU”) specification G.992.1 describes ADSL and G.992.2 describes G.Lite DSL, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference. In general, DSL services are used for point-to-point communications for accessing a public network. DSL permits multiple forms of data, voice, and video to be carried over twisted-pair copper wires on the local loop. The local loop may be the last mile segment between a network service provider's central office and the customer site, or a geographically-created local loop. [0046] In one embodiment, system 200 operates using broadband communication technology which allows communication using multiple forms of data, voice and video. System 200 is operable using communication technology that allows digital data to be transferred through the communication channel without the need for converting between digital data and analog signals. Communications conducted exclusively in the digital domain can proceed without the time delays caused by digital-to-analog converters and analog-to-digital converters. Examples of broadband communication technology operable with the present subject matter include cable modem communications and high data rate (“HDR”) wireless communications. [0047] System 200, in the embodiment depicted in FIG. 1, allows for originating and receiving multiple telephone calls having various content including either analog signals, digital data, or both. Analog signals may include audio signals or analog fax transmissions. Analog signals may also include modem communications, including those modem communications conforming to standards such as V.32, V.32bis, V.34, V.90 as promulgated by ITU, or any other such communication standard. The communication standards V.32, V.32bis, V.34, V.90 are herein incorporated by reference. Digital data may include binary data or other digitized data, such as digital voice or digital audio. Digital data may also include digital files. Digital data may include voice-over-IP (“VOIP”) conforming to a standard such as H.323 promulgated by ITU and herein incorporated by reference, or any of a variety of other proprietary standards. Digital data may also include digital simultaneous voice and data (“DSVD”), such as V70 DSVD or other proprietary standard. Digital data may include data transmitted using DSL technology. Digital data may also include other forms of digital video data and digital fax data. [0048]FIG. 2 is a block diagram of one embodiment of present system 200. Telephone line 260 is coupled to processor 220 through telephone interface 240 and module 217. In one embodiment, module 217 includes an analog front end (“AFE”) and a converter.

[0049] Memory 230 is also coupled to processor 220. Memory 230 provides storage for programming executed by processor 220, storage for messages communicated through telephone interface 240 (both incoming and outgoing), data corresponding to telephone calls (for example, caller identification information), or data relating to processing. [0050] In one embodiment, analog signals received by system 200 are digitized and processed by digital signal processor 220. In addition, digital data received by system 200 is processed by digital signal processor 220. In one embodiment, processor 220 performs DSL communications and system 200 is coupled to telephone line 260 which is a DSL compatible telephone line. Processor 220 also detects and responds to incoming dual-tone multi-frequency (“DTMF”) signals. DTMF signals received through telephone interface 240 and detected by processor 220 can be used to control the operation of system 200. [0051] In one embodiment, computer interface 270 enables coupling to local computer network 279. When system 200 is connected to network 279, at least one computer in the network enjoys access to telephone line 260 for telecommunications. In addition, information such as incoming calls and caller identification information can be routed to selected computers comprising network 279. Networks, connectors, and controllers other than Ethernet are also contemplated in the present subject matter. [0052] In one embodiment, system 200 also includes transducer 290. In one embodiment, transducer 290 includes an audio speaker. In one embodiment, transducer 290 includes an audio speaker with a microphone. Transducer 290 includes suitable preamplifiers, drivers and converters to convert stored data into audible sounds using the speaker and local audio into digital signals for processing by processor 220. In one embodiment, transducer 290 includes a unitary handset device or headset device including both a microphone and an audio speaker. [0053] In one embodiment, system 200 also includes display 280 coupled to processor 220. Display 280 may be an LED or LCD display and depict numeric or alphanumeric characters. Display 280 provides a visual indication as to the status, mode of operation or programming of system 200 or indicate the presence of, or quantity of, received messages. In one embodiment, display 280 indicates the time of receipt of received messages. In one embodiment, display 280 indicates decoded caller identification information. [0054] In one embodiment, system 200 also includes control 285, also coupled to processor 220. In one embodiment, control 285 is a user-accessible keyboard including a numeric telephone keypad. Control 285 enables the user to control the data displayed on display 280 or enables the user to manually select a remote location for routing an incoming telephone call. Control 285 also enables the user to enter selected telephone numbers into system 200 for purposes of dialing numbers. Control 285 also enables entry of telephone numbers for which incoming calls are to be rejected or accepted. Other uses for control 285 will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art. [0055] Clock 222 is coupled to processor 220 and provides a clock signal for system 200. In one embodiment, system 200 reads an internal clock signal from computer 275 or network 279 and updates clock 222. Clock 222 provides time and date information. [0056] In operation, one embodiment of system 200, as shown in FIG. 2, operates as follows. [0057] System 200 operates as a modem for communicating via telephone line 260 with modem functions performed by processor 220, memory 230 and computer 275. As a modem, system 200 enables data transfer between a remote telecommunication device or network via telephone line 260. In one embodiment, the modem function enables communication with a public access network using DSL technology. Multiple voice and data channels are operable using DSL in conjunction with the present subject matter. [0058] System 200 is operable as a message saver for incoming analog or digital telephone calls. Received messages may include, but is not limited to, analog audio signals (such as voice telephone calls), digital audio, digital data, voice-over-data (such as voice over IP), video with audio or any other combination of digital data and analog signals. In one embodiment, signals bearing analog content arriving at system 200 are digitized, and optionally, compressed by processor 220. Digital data arriving at system 200 via telephone interface 240 is passed directly to processor 220 for further processing. [0059] In one embodiment, incoming telephone calls are detected and answered by processor 220. Processor 220 also determines the content of incoming calls. The content of incoming calls can be detected using various user-selected methods, wherein each method is applied individually or in combination according to a predetermined hierarchy. System 200 can be configured to implement any of the following methods of detecting content. Caller identification information encoded between ringing signals can be used to determine content. Many telephone companies provide caller identification information between the first and second ringing signal and processor 220 can decode this information to determine the content of the call. Fax transmissions provide another means for detecting call content. Fax transmissions include a specific signal, comprised of particular frequencies and cadences in conformance with standard protocols, to signal the recipient that a fax message follows. Packetized digital data may also include header information that indicates the packet content. Caller-generated DTMF signals, in response to prompts generated by system 200, provide another method of content detection. For example, system 200 can prompt a caller to enter a “1” if sending a voice message or “2” if sending a fax. Distinctive ringing also can be the basis for detecting content. For example, a single ring can denote a voice message or a double ring denotes a fax message. [0060] Each of the aforementioned methods of detecting content can be used individually or in combination with other methods. In one embodiment, a user-selected hierarchy of methods may be utilized to detect the call content. [0061] If processor 220 determines that the incoming call includes analog audio, then one embodiment provides that an outgoing greeting message is transmitted on telephone line 260, followed by receiving and storing of the incoming analog audio message. If processor 220 determines that the content of an incoming call does not include analog audio, then one embodiment provides that the content of the incoming call is stored without issuing a greeting message. The incoming content may be stored in memory 230 or in other memory accessible to computer 275. System 200 can subsequently process, store, or transfer the contents of memory 230 to other equipment, including, another storage device, a remote telecommunication device or network. In one embodiment, system 200 can receive into memory 230 data arriving via computer interface 270. [0062] Content detection allows system 200 to determine and provide an appropriate response. For example, one embodiment provides that, upon detecting the incoming call, and without having answered the incoming call, processor 220 decodes the caller identification information and displays the decoded information on display 280 or a monitor coupled to computer 275. [0063] In one embodiment, system 200 uses the content information to select one of a plurality of outgoing greeting messages for rendering prior to receiving an incoming audio message. For example, in one embodiment, system 200 uses the decoded caller identification information to accept or reject an incoming call. Processing of incoming telephone calls as a function of caller identification information is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,452,289, issued Sep. 19, 1995, entitled COMPUTER-BASED MULTIFUNCTION PERSONAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, U.S. Pat.

In one embodiment, transducer 290 includes an audio speaker and thus enables system 200 to play stored audio messages. [0066] In one embodiment, system 200 can perform simultaneous and independent telephone functions. For example, while conducting a modem communication session, system 200 can receive and save the content of an incoming audio telephone call. As another example, system 200 can conduct a modem communication session and simultaneously and independently receive an incoming call. The content of the incoming call can be determined by decoding caller identification information, detecting fax tones, detecting user-prompted DTMF signals, or by distinctive ringing, as previously described.

[0099]FIG. 9 is a flow chart depicting a portion of a method executed by one embodiment of the claimed subject matter. Starting at step 1, method 10 entails detecting a ring signal on a POTS line coupled to line connector 246. At step 2, method 10 queries as to the presence of caller identification information. If no caller identification information is present, then method 10 proceeds to process call at step 4. If caller identification information is present, then method 10 proceeds to decode the caller identification information at step 3, followed by administer call at step 6. [0100]FIG. 10 is a flow chart depicting a portion of a method executed by one embodiment of the claimed subject matter. Method 20 is a continuation of method 10 as depicted in FIG. 9 and portrays three alternatives for processing the call at step 4. Step 5 refers to detection of the content of an incoming telephone call and is further described below with respect to FIG. 11. Step 6 refers to the events subsequent to having decoded caller identification information. In step 6, the decoded information provides the basis upon which the call is administered. For example, the decoded information may indicate that the incoming call is to be routed to an external fax machine, in which case, system 200 transmits the received information via telephone connector 247. As another example, step 6 may provide that the call is to be routed to a particular computer in a network coupled to the computer interface 270. At step 7, processing the call entails performing a quick hang-up. Quick hang-up is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,546,448, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08,338,340, each of which was previously incorporated by reference in its entirety. [0101]FIG. 11 is a flow chart depicting the continuation of method 20 of FIG. 10. Method 30 portrays two alternatives for detecting the content 5 of an incoming call. The content may include analog signals representing audio signals or fax data. The content may also include digital data representing audio, fax data, digital data, voice-over-data, or digital video data. At step 5, detecting the content of the incoming call may include detecting and analyzing a distinctive ring signal 8. For example, uniquely coded ring signal patterns may denote the content of the incoming call. Alternatively, at 9, a general detection procedure may be applied to detect the call content. Examples of a general detection procedure include analysis of header information to detect the content, analysis of tones and cadences to detect a fax, or analysis of DTMF signals entered by a caller. Having detected the content at either step 8 or step 9, the method continues at step 6 in which the call is administered as previously described. [0102]FIG. 12 depicts selected analog functions 450 available using one embodiment of the present system. In the embodiment shown, message saver 500, speakerphone 550, caller identification 570, facsimile 560, and modem 470 are available.

Also, the caller identification information can be stored, 580, on memory associated with the local hardware (local 581), the host computer (host 582) or a networked computer 583. As noted elsewhere in the specification, the caller identification information can be the basis upon which a quick hang-up is performed, as denoted at quick hang-up 574. Call routing 575 is accomplished as a function of caller identification information. The incoming call can be routed to the message saver 576, speakerphone 577, facsimile 578 or computer 579. [0109]FIG. 16A denotes the facsimile function 560. Incoming faxes 564 can be received by system 200 and outgoing faxes 565 can be transmitted using system 200. The data for outgoing faxes can be received by system 200 in various ways, including via the computer interface or the telephone interface. The receipt of an incoming fax can be displayed in various locations, including, local hardware 561, host computer 562, or a networked computer 563. The incoming fax data can also be stored in various locations, including, the local hardware 561, the host computer 562, or a networked computer 563. [0110]FIG. 16B denotes the modem function 470. Incoming modem communication sessions 475 can be detected and received by system 200. In addition, outgoing modem communication sessions 474 can be originated and transmitted using system 200. Modem communication sessions can be conducted using the host computer, as denoted at 472, or using a networked computer, as denoted at 473. The modem communication session may conform to any of a variety of communication standards, including V.34 or V.90. [0111] In one embodiment, during the course of a modem communication session, such as a DSL communication session, system 200 is able to receive, originate and process analog telephone calls. In one embodiment, detected caller identification information on an incoming call is decoded by processor 220. Depending upon the configuration of system 200, the decoded caller identification information is displayed on display 280, stored in memory 230 or forwarded to host computer 275 via computer interface 270. The decoded caller identification information may be transferred immediately upon decoding of the identification information or at a later time. The time for forwarding can be determined, for example, by a programmed function, or upon receipt of a request from a source external to system 200. In one embodiment, the caller identification information appears on a pop-up window appearing on the monitor 277 of host computer 275, or, in the case of a network coupled to system 200, the information appears on a predetermined group of monitors within the network. In one embodiment, the caller identification information is stored in a memory accessible to host computer 275. Furthermore, and depending upon the configuration of the system 200, either host computer 275 or processor 220 can access stored data and execute the routing and handling of the incoming telephone call. [0112] In one embodiment, system 200 can perform analog or digital fax communication functions, including receiving and transmitting fax data, simultaneous with the execution of a modem communication session. In one embodiment, an incoming fax is detected on telephone line 260, received, digitized (if not already digitized) and stored in memory 230. In one embodiment, the data may be stored in memory accessible to host computer 275. In one embodiment, system 200 can originate a fax transmission where the fax content includes digital data stored in memory 230 or at host computer 275. Upon establishing a fax communication session with the recipient, processor 220 transmits the digitized fax data via telephone line 260. Other fax functions are also contemplated by the present subject matter, including, for example, selecting a pre-programmed fax cover page for transmission with the fax data, group faxing capabilities, polling or other such functions. [0113] In one embodiment, fax transmissions can proceed, simultaneously and independently of, a concurrent DSL modem communication session. The difference in frequency between the fax data and the DSL modem communication enables the fax and the DSL modem communication session to proceed simultaneously. [0114] In one embodiment, system 200 can perform speakerphone communication functions simultaneous with the execution of a modem communication session. For example, system 200 can both originate and receive an analog voice telephone call using the speakerphone function. In one embodiment, after system 200 detects the incoming analog voice telephone call, the user can issue a command to host computer 275 to execute the speakerphone function. One embodiment provides that the speaker and microphone associated with host computer 275 serves as the audio transducers for conducting the speakerphone session. In one embodiment, transducers 290 are included in system 200. In one embodiment of the present subject matter, speakerphone calls can be originated by system 200. Programming executing on host computer 275 allows predetermined telephone numbers to be dialed by system 200. System 200, upon establishing a telephone connection to the predetermined telephone number, conducts a speakerphone communication session as described above. The predetermined telephone numbers may be received by system 200 by manual entry using controls 285 or as a data file received via computer interface 270 or telephone interface 245, as shown in FIG. 4. [0115] While many of the above descriptions include a modem communication session in process, it will be noted that this is not a prerequisite for the operation of the other described analog functions. [0116] When a host computer or network is unavailable, one embodiment of system 200 still provides selected analog or digital functions. For example, decoded caller identification is stored in memory 230, and in one embodiment, is depicted on integral display 280. As another example, one embodiment provides that incoming messages and received fax transmissions are stored internally using memory 230. As yet another example, in one embodiment having integral transducer 290, system 200 can provide handsfree speakerphone operation. [0117] When a host computer or network becomes available, one embodiment of system 200 provides that additional functions become available. For example, stored contents of memory 230 can be transferred to host computer 275 or networked computer for further processing, transferring, playing or printing. The stored contents in memory 230 may include, but is not limited to, for example, received audio messages, received fax transmissions, and decoded caller identification information. In one embodiment, an incoming call is routed to a predetermined computer or user in the network as a function of information detected in the call. [0118] In one embodiment where DSL processor 220 a is separate and distinct from voice processor 220 b, digital data is transferred between the separate processors. Various digital data transfer protocols can be incorporated into the present subject matter. For example, in one embodiment, the digital data can be in the form of packetized data and may include either header information, footer information or both. The header information, or the footer information, can include addressing information or information keyed to the identity of the sender or recipient of the information. In one embodiment, the digital data can be transferred in data frames. [0119] In one embodiment, data compression and decompression is utilized. For example, the content of an incoming analog voice telephone call can be compressed upon storing and later, decompressed when played. Compression may include technology as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,452,289, previously incorporated by reference in its entirety. [0120] Messages or data stored in memory 230 can be transferred from system 200 via computer interface 270 or via telephone line connection 247. If transferred via interface 270, the data becomes available for further manipulation, editing or managing. The data of memory 230 can be transferred to computer 275 at a predetermined time, or upon a receipt of a signal from computer 275 or system 200. To transfer a message via telephone line connection 247, in one embodiment, system 200 is adapted to initiate a telephone call and then forward the message at the appropriate time, or alternatively, system 200 is adapted to receive a telephone call and then forward the message. Initiating, or establishing, a call entails seizing the telephone line, dialing a predetermined telephone number corresponding to the remote location, coordinating the communication with the receiving location, transferring the message, and terminating the call. [0121] In one embodiment, system 200 can respond to an incoming call requesting the transfer of a stored message. One embodiment provides that system 200 detects an incoming telephone call, answers the call, executes a security check to verify the authorization of the caller to access a stored message, and upon successful verification, transfers the requested message after which, system 200 releases the telephone line. [0122] In one embodiment, caller identification information can serve as the mechanism by which incoming calls are routed to a predetermined recipient. The recipient may be within a local network coupled to system 200 or the recipient may be at a remote location. A pre-determined list comprising caller identification information corresponding to targeted recipients is stored in memory and enables caller routing. [0123] In addition to call routing on the basis of caller identification, routing can also be performed on the basis of time or day of receiving the call. Clock 222 in the foregoing figures provides the clock information to enable call routing on the basis of time or day of receiving the call. For example, one embodiment of system 200 provides that calls received during a predetermined period are routed to a predetermined telephone number at a remote site. In one embodiment of system 200, other measurable parameters can serve to determine the routing and management of the incoming telephone call. [0124] In one embodiment, call routing can be performed on the basis of user-entered DTMF signals. In one embodiment, call routing can be performed on the basis of data encoded in the header of packets or on the basis of fax tones and cadences. [0125] In one embodiment, system 200 can either accept or reject incoming calls based on any means of content detection. For example, calls can be accepted or rejected based on decoded caller identification information. Accepting the call can include answering the call and invoking the message saver function as described above, or routing the call to the appropriate recipient as described above. Rejecting the call, in one embodiment, can include answering the call and immediately hanging-up the telephone line. It is believed that such a quick-hang-up will tend to frustrate human callers and discourage repeated unwanted calls. Rejecting undesirable, or unauthorized, incoming telephone calls serves to reduce unnecessary burden on the communication resources (including, for example, the telephone line and the present subject matter) and assures that the communication resources are available for desired callers. [0126] In one embodiment, system 200 is suitable for conducting various digital communication functions as depicted in FIG. 17. Digital communications functions can include receiving and forwarding various types of digital communications, including digital voice over data 610, digital audio and voice data 620, digital files or data 640, digital fax communications 650, or digital video data 630. The content of digital communications can be detected by means of caller identification information 660, identification information encoded in the header of an incoming digital packet 665, user-generated DTMF signals 670, or distinctive ringing 675. Incoming calls bearing each of the various types of digital communications may further be screened or routed. In one embodiment of the present subject matter, caller identification information encoded with incoming digital data enables management and routing information to administer the incoming digital data. Screening or routing may be based on time or day of receiving the call, or other predetermined parameters, individually or in combination. One example of such a parameter, operable as a means of screening or routing, is the destination information embedded in the header of received packets. The content of incoming calls bearing each of the various types of digital communications may also be stored in memory coupled to DSL processor 220 a. [0127]FIG. 18 depicts a block diagram of one embodiment of system 200. In this embodiment, system 200 includes processor 220 coupled to telephone interface 240 and memory 230. Telephone interface 240 transfers telephone line signals between processor 220 and telephone line 260. In this embodiment, telephone line 260 is a DSL communication line. Memory 230 provides storage accessible to processor 220 and storage for incoming messages received via the telephone interface 240. [0128] In FIG. 18, communication with system 200 proceeds by way of telephone interface 240. Communication with system 200 includes such functions as entering programming, establishing system configuration, and input and output of data. Information received from incoming calls is initially stored in memory 230. Stored data is then later rendered, or made accessible, by transferring to another telecommunication device via telephone interface 240. [0129]FIG. 19A depicts a portion of a block diagram of one embodiment including a cable modem processor. Cable modems provide shared access, broadband communication over a cable network. In the embodiment shown, DSL processor 220 a, as shown in FIG. 6A, is replaced by cable modem processor 1220 a. Referring to both FIG. 6A and FIG. 19A, cable modem processor 1220 a is coupled to computer interface 270, D-memory 230 a, and dual port memory 230 c. Cable modem processor 1220 a is further coupled to cable connector 400 through tuner 420. Cable connector 400, in one embodiment, includes a coaxial connector. [0130] In one embodiment, system 200 can provide cable modem communications of digital data using cable modem processor 1220 a while simultaneously providing analog telephone functions. Incoming digital data received via cable connection 400 is processed and stored in digital format. The stored data is accessible to voice processor 220 b, and thus, is available for further processing as previously described. For example, in one embodiment, voice processor 220 b provides user-notification of received messages using computer 275 or network 279. [0131]FIG. 19B depicts a portion of a block diagram of one embodiment including a cable/DSL processor. In the embodiment shown, DSL processor 220 a, as shown in FIG. 6A, is replaced by cable/DSL processor 2220 a. Referring to FIG. 6A and FIG. 19B, cable/DSL processor 2220 a is coupled to computer interface 270, D-memory 230 a, and dual port memory 230 c. Cable/DSL processor 2220 a is further coupled to cable connector 400 through tuner 420. Cable connector 400, in one embodiment, includes a coaxial connector. Cable/DSL processor 2220 a is further coupled to connector 247 through AFE 216 and isolation transformer 243, as previously described. [0132] In the embodiment shown, system 200 can provide cable modem communications as well as DSL modem communications, using cable/DSL processor 2220 a while simultaneously providing analog telephone functions. Cable/DSL processor 2220 a supports cable modem communications via cable connector 400 or DSL modem communications via connector 247. Digital data is stored in memory accessible to cable/DSL processor 2220 a. Digital data stored in dual port memory 230 c is accessible to both cable/DSL processor 2220 a and voice processor 220 b. CONCLUSION [0133] Although the present subject matter has been described with reference to the foregoing specific embodiments, many alternatives, variations and modifications will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art.

Hagel able to laugh about Senate confirmation - In the Loop - The Washington Post

Chuck Hagel is ceremonially sworn in as Secretary of Defense by Vice President Joseph Biden.
You might recall that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel had a rather unpleasant Senate confirmation process. Even though he was back among friends in his old stomping grounds, he was subjected to intense grilling, questions about his patriotism, and a hearing in which his performance was roundly panned. Words like “defensive, frustrated, and lethargic” were used to describe it.
But the experience doesn’t appear to have left any deep scars on the tough guy — in fact, he’s even able to joke about it. During his ceremonial swearing-in ceremony on Thursday, during which Vice President Biden administered his oath of office, Hagel cracked this funny after thanking the crowd for the warm welcome and applause: “Last time I received something quite like this was in the United States Senate in my confirmation hearing.”
Of course there was more laughter. “I’m a better person for it,” Hagel concluded. By	Emily Heil

- Position outlook: Mavs upgraded across the board
Jose Calderon, who signed a a four-year, $29 million deal with the Mavs this offseason, has career averages of 7.2 assists and 1.7 turnovers per game.Darren Collison is a nice sparkplug backup, but he never earned coach Rick Carlisle's trust to run the offense, especially in clutch situations, as evidenced by the Mavs recruiting geezer point guards Derek Fisher and Mike James out of their rocking chairs during the season.
Veteran Monta Ellis, who has averaged 19.4 points during his career, is capable of taking over games for stretches with scoring flurries.The upside with Ellis: He’s the most dynamically athletic guard to ever be paired with Dirk Nowitzki. He's a tremendous penetrator who is a good finisher when he gets to the rim and willing passer when help defense comes. He's a one-man fast break waiting to happen. And he’s capable of taking over games for stretches with scoring flurries.

Nicolas Anelka gets shock all clear to make Mumbai City debut despite 'quenelle' ban | Daily Mail Online
Nicolas Anelka gets shock all clear to make Mumbai City debut despite 'quenelle' ban
Ex-West Brom striker banned for five games for controversial celebration
When Anelka signed for Mumbai, FA asked for suspension to stand
Originally reduced to three matches upon arriving at his new club
But now Anelka looks set to play in the opening Indian Premier League game against Atletico de Kolkata on Sunday
League chiefs say they haven't had guidance from FIFA on his suspension
Published: 17:42 EST, 11 October 2014 | Updated: 18:29 EST, 11 October 2014
Nicolas Anelka has been cleared to play for Mumbai City in Sunday's opening game of the Indian Super League.
The former West Bromwich striker was banned for five games by the FA for his ‘quenelle’ gesture in December that was deemed anti-Semitic.
But the Indians have allowed him to face Atletico de Kolkata after writing to FIFA for guidance but receiving no response.
Nicolas Anelka, in training for Mumbai City, looks set to make his Indian Super League debut on Sunday
Anelka's 'quenelle' gesture caused controversy and saw the then-West Brom striker banned for five games
Kushal Das, general secretary of AIFF, said: ‘We asked FIFA about his ban, but since we have not heard, he can play.’
Initially the ex-Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City forward saw his ban cut from five games to three.
The 35-year-old protested his innocence claiming it was merely an appreciation of French comedian Dieudonne M'bala M'bala who used the expression in his shows.
On arriving as one of Mumbai's marquee players, the FA and had asked FIFA and the Indian Federation to uphold the ban.
