Tuesday Grid Update, 10/25 - Arkansas - Scout
Tuesday Grid Update, 10/25Clay Henry10/25/2011Garrick McGee said the Hogs need to focus on getting to "our seventh win." Tyler Wilson and Jarius Wright know the right mindset to get that done. It will be about a "sense of urgency."What needs to happen for Arkansas to play better early against Vanderbilt? Tyler Wilson and Jarius Wright had a simple thought.
"We need to come out with a sense of urgency," Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson said. "We have to play with higher level as far as competitive spirit. We had that in the second half of our last few games, but we didn't have that at the start."
Wide receiver Jarius Wright said, "I agree with Tyler. We are getting that fixed. The way to do that is do that in practice first. Then, you take that to the game. We worked on that today."
The Hogs had their first workout of the week Tuesday. Offensive coordinator Garrick McGee said it was a good, high-energy workout.
"We had a lot of energy today," McGee said. "We really had good focus and concentration on the field. That's what we have to do in our preparations in the meeting room, on the field. It's all about getting our seventh win. If we do what's right in the meeting room and on the practice field, we'll get our seventh win."
Wilson said he saw that competitive spirit in practice. He said it's that competitive nature that will serve Arkansas well. He said there is a lot of talk about the slow start in early-morning games and the way to cure that is with intensity.
"I think everyone from our coaches, our players, the media and everyone that follows us knows that we haven't done well in the first half of the last few games," Wilson said. "It's on us because we just haven't competed hard enough. That sense of urgency has been missing.
"We have competitive players, but for some reason it wasn't there early in games. I take that personally because I'm a captain. I have to lead and be competitive when you are a captain."
What happened at halftime to turn on that switch?
"There wasn't a lot of yelling," he said. "We were calm and poised.It wasn't like someone went off or lit a match. that's not what was going on. It was more a look in eyes than anything. There wasn't any jumping around. There was no panic. We knew we could stick to the game plan and we would be alright.
"We did talk about it and we've talked about it since then, too. We just have to continue to push to get that competitive spirit going and do it Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and then Saturday in the game -- from the start."
McGee said the Hogs hurt themselves by making mistakes. He said the throw on third down by Wilson on the first Arkansas possession was to the wrong receiver.
"If it goes to the right guy, that's probably a 55-yard play and things just go on from them," McGee said. "But it wasn't. And then we are off the field and (Ole Miss) keeps it for the next eight minutes and the quarter is over."
"It was a crossing route," he said. "We had two receivers in the same area, a high-low look. Joe Adams was underneath and Chris Gragg was just about five yards deeper. You put the defense in a tough area and one of those receivers is going to rub off a defender on the other one. One of them is going to come open. It's a quick decision, but you have to get it right. I didn't."
The Hogs found themselves down 17-0 before getting a touchdown late in the second quarter.
"It's a concern to start like that," Wilson said. "You spot someone 17, you are going to be lucky to win. We have done that a couple of times. Obviously, everyone in the world knows we can't get doing that."
Vanderbilt's defense is based on a steady diet of blitzes.
"They pressured Georgia 63 percent of the time," McGee said. "It was 42 percent against Alabama. Georgia's offense has certain aspects that are a lot like ours so we anticipate that they will (blitz)."
The Commodores have taken advantage of the blitzes to force plenty of pass interceptions.
"They do jump routes," Wright said. "We know they are going to do that."
Wilson said, "They run a lot of pressure. We noticed that against Georgia. We have to get the ball off quickly and let our playmakers make plays against those type of pressures."
McGee said the Commodores break on the ball sharply.
"We don't anticipate Tyler throwing picks," McGee said. "That's not what he does. But (Vanderbilt) defensive backs understand the routes that are run and they break on the ball. You see them making diving interceptions. They play hard and with enthusiasm. You see that from their coach to their players. The (secondary) coach is running up and down the sideline trying to excite his players.
"Tyler will be fine. He understands that he needs to throw to our players."
McGee praised the Vandy defense.
"What you see from them is that they are really disciplined," he said. "They are well coached. They understand leverages. They play with the right angles. They don't give up big runs because they close on the ball at the right angles to prevent them."
The Hogs have hit big plays, but McGee wants to see more third down conversions.
"That's what we didn't do early in our last game," he said. "That's how you stay on the field. When you don't convert third downs, you can't get in a rhythm calling plays. We have to do a better job in concentration so we can stay on the field."
McGee was asked if Dennis Johnson will get the bulk of the carries this week after a 160-yard performance earned him SEC offensive player of the week.
"We'll keep doing what we do," McGee said. "It could be any of our guys (getting carries at running back)."
However, McGee was not surprised by Johnson's breakout game.
"I could tell in our Friday preparations, he was in the training room most of the day doing what he could to make sure his legs were fresh," McGee said. "I could see it in his eyes in pre-game warmups.
"Dennis is doing a good job (in preparations this week). But this is just the first day of a new game plan. He's into it, though."

Loved the hotel design and décor, furniture etc. Room a good size,a very comfortable bed and good pillows. Good location on an interesting little street. The 1st night the kitchen was closed due to cleaning, they delivered a small sandwich, the night of my very late departure the dining room and the lounge/bar area were all closed for a private function, so nowhere comfortable for checked out hotel guests to relax and wait for the airport pick up . Went upstairs and waited in the the very dimly lit deserted bar. Front desk staff on the whole very helpful but they seemed very understaffed with one staff member on in the evening trying to manage everything with people waiting. Dining room manager efficient and friendly, breakfast service very slow, good cappuccino. Loved the outside area, must be lovely to sit out there in warmer weather, too cold when I was there. I booked a massage, a bad idea, terrible massage, no technique certainly not professional in any way. Avoid the temptation

Stayed here two years ago and had a magnificent stay. We returned again last month and were very disappointed. Staff were indifferent and treated us like livestock. Food has gone down in quality. Water from sink and tub faucets smell like garbage. Not worth the room rate, even if it was 50% off.
There are too many hotels in this town to have this attitude, especially to returning guests. URBN, I am done with you.
Room Tip: The one not in URBN.

Don't stay here if you are looking for a good night sleep
3 days in a row I am being awaken by knocking or drilling construction noises. The first day I called to ask them to stop. The second day. The front desk didn't learn from the first to ask them to start later. I had a call AGAIN. And third day. They just said it was not their building!! .... It was the same noise!! And you can hear from inside the building! And yea. You hear thumping noises a lot. The acoustics in this hotel is THAT good.
All in all. I stayed here for 4 nights. And for 3 of them ... It like I never slept at all.
Ask yourself. What are you looking for when you go on vacation ... R&R? My advice to you then is to look elsewhere.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Technical Field [0002] The invention relates to the field of telecommunications and, more particularly, to an architecture for providing voice services in or to a telecommunications network. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Telecommunication companies continually create new telephony services and/or features (hereafter �voice services�) to be offered to subscribers. Voice services are a blend of voice processing technology, call control, and enterprise applications. Voice processing technology is used to recognize both spoken inputs and touch tone inputs from users over a telecommunication link. These inputs direct how a user call is to be handled by the voice service. The inputs also can determine whether a call will be and subsequently is provided to one or more enterprise applications. [0005] Voice servers implement interactive voice response technology with telephony call control. A voice server can execute voice services which can interact with a caller and also redirect calls responsive to user inputs. Accordingly, many businesses rely upon these solutions to direct incoming calls to various locations within an office. Similar to conventional voice response unit (VRU) type systems, more sophisticated voice server solutions can incorporate enterprise data. For example, an inbound call to an employee can be redirected automatically to a telephone number listed in the electronic calendar of the employee. [0006] Although voice servers mark a significant improvement over VRU technology, still, conventional voice servers do have disadvantages. Conventional voice servers utilize an architecture wherein high bandwidth data such as speech is routed throughout the voice server, including to voice and telephony services, thereby requiring the voice server to handle a significant amount of bandwidth throughout the internal communication channels of the voice server. For example, conventional voice servers utilize an architecture which includes a core processor that interacts with a core client. The core client serves as an interface to one or more telephony services. Within such voice server architectures, high bandwidth data typically is routed between the core client and the core processor. The significant amount of bandwidth necessary to route speech data throughout the voice server can place a heavy load on the voice server. [0007] Another disadvantage of conventional voice servers is that such systems are commonly viewed as a single entity comprised of both the voice processing hardware and software components. In consequence, conventional voice servers locate both telephony services and call control including signal routing within the same software component. As a voice processing system expands beyond a single voice server, each added voice server implements and supports its own individual and single call model, resulting in multiple call models. An expanded system architecture of multiple voice servers, however, can become less reliable as the system is unlikely to function as expected, that is as a single, unified entity. [0008] Another disadvantage of conventional voice server architectures, is that the core processor includes the call model. This configuration can reduce operational efficiency as well as complicate expandability of the voice server. More particularly, when multiple core clients are introduced into the voice server, complex call model and communication facilities must be included in the voice server architecture to coordinate and manage the core clients and other components of the voice server. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009] The invention disclosed herein provides a voice server architecture which provides improved call handling ability and improved scalability over conventional voice servers. The present invention routes high bandwidth data such as speech within the voice server in such a way as to minimize needed bandwidth. Additionally, the core clients can include the call model, while the core processor can include lookup services and/or lookup functionality. Service creation also can be improved by providing for an interface between the service logic and the core client. [0010] One aspect of the present invention can include a voice server for hosting telephony services. The voice server can include a stack interface configured to exchange telephony signaling information with a circuit-switched to packet-switched interface. One or more core clients, each having a call model stored therein, can be included, wherein each of the core clients is configured to select and execute at least one voice service associated with a call. The call model disposed in the core clients can include an inbound call model and an outbound call model. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the core clients can include an application programming interface for communicating with the voice services. Notably, each core client can be associated with a virtual machine within which the one or more voice services can execute. The voice server can include a speech processing system configured to convert speech to text and to convert text to speech for processing the call. [0011] The voice server also can include a core processor. The core processor can be configured to distribute the telephony signaling information to the core clients and coordinate operation of the core clients and the speech processing system. The core processor further can exchange telephony signaling information with the circuit-switched to packet-switched interface via the stack interface. Additionally, the core processor can be configured to perform lookup services. [0012] Notably, according to the present invention, audio information within the voice server is routed to and from the speech processing system without being provided or routed to the core processor or the core clients. Also, the core clients, the speech processing system, and the core processor can communicate with one another via a packet-switched communications network. [0013] The voice server can include an application programming interface to the speech processing system through which the core processor can interact with the speech processing system and through which the speech processing system can exchange text with the voice services via the core clients. The speech processing system can include a speech recognition system and a text-to-speech system. Notably, the speech processing system also can process dual tone multi-frequency signals. [0014] If the speech processing system includes a speech recognition system and a text-to-speech system, the voice server can include an application programming interface through which the core processor interacts with the speech recognition system and through which the speech recognition system exchanges text with the voice services via the core clients. Another application programming interface through which the core processor interacts with the text-to-speech system and through which the text-to-speech system exchanges text with the voice services via the core clients can be included. [0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the voice server can include at least one real-time streaming engine configured to convert audio data between a streamed audio format and a packetized data format for exchanging the audio data between the speech processing system and the circuit-switched to packet-switched interface. According to another embodiment of the present invention, two real-time streaming engines can be included. For example, a real-time streaming engine configured to convert streamed audio from the circuit-switched to packet-switched interface to packetized data to be provided to the speech recognition engine can be included as well as a second real-time streaming engine configured to convert packetized data from the text-to-speech processor to streamed audio to be provided to the circuit-switched to packet-switched interface. [0016] The voice server of the present invention also can include a data store which associates voice services with the telephony signaling information, wherein each association of telephony signaling information with a voice service further specifies voice server resources required for implementing the voice service. The telephony signaling information can specify at least a called number and a calling number such that the core processor can access the data store to determine at least one voice service associated with the call and resources associated with the voice service. The core processor can be configured to determine an available one of the core clients and to provide to the available one of the core clients the called number, the calling number, the determined voice services, and the determined voice server resources associated with the call. [0017] The stack interface can include one or more stack interfaces for exchanging telephony signaling information. Each of the stack interfaces can be dedicated to a particular telephony protocol. A consolidation processor can be included for coordinating communications between the core processor and the stacks. For example, the consolidation processor can be configured to read telephony signaling information from each of the stack interfaces and provide the telephony signaling information to the core processor. The consolidation processor further can be configured to receive telephony signaling information from the core processor and distribute the telephony signaling information to an appropriate one of the stack interfaces. [0018] Another aspect of the present invention can include a method of processing calls within a voice server. The method can include identifying, within a core processor of the voice server, telephony signaling information for a call. The core processor can perform a lookup function with the telephony signaling information to determine voice services for processing the call. The telephony signaling information can be provided to a core client within the voice server. Notably, the core client can have a call model stored therein. The core client can use the received telephony signaling information to retrieve a voice service associated with the call. Accordingly, the core client can execute the voice service to process the call according to the executing voice service and the call model. In processing the call, the core client can exchange textual information with the speech processing system such that the core client does not receive or process an audio channel. [0019] The method also can include receiving the call within a circuit switched to packet switched telephony interface and separating audio information of the call from telephony signaling information for the call. Audio information from the call can be formatted as streaming audio and can be provided to a speech recognition engine to convert the audio information to text to be provided to the executing voice service. [0020] The telephony signaling information to be provided to the core processor can be placed on a telephony stack. Notably, telephony signaling information to be provided to the core processor can be placed on at least one of several telephony stacks, wherein each telephony stack corresponds to a particular messaging protocol. The telephony signaling information can be selectively provided to the core processor from one of the telephony stacks. The voice service also can provide playback text to a text-to-speech engine for playback. Accordingly, the playback text can be converted to speech. The speech can be formatted as streaming audio and can be provided to the circuit switched to packet switched telephony interface for playback over the call. [0021] Another aspect of the present invention can include a method of processing calls within a voice server which includes executing a telephony voice service, and within the voice server, receiving audio over an established telecommunications link. The audio can be routed to a speech recognition engine for conversion to speech recognized text and can be provided to the telephony voice service for processing. The telephony voice service can determine text for playback and can provide the playback text to a text-to-speech engine for playback over the telecommunications link, such that audio is not processed by the telephony voice service. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0022] There are shown in the drawings embodiments which are presently preferred, it being understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown. [0023]FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a voice server configured in accordance with the inventive arrangements disclosed herein. [0024]FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating another embodiment of the voice server of FIG. 1. [0025]FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating an exemplary inbound call model which can be disposed within the core clients of the voice server of FIG. 1. [0026]FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating an exemplary outbound call model which can be disposed within the core clients of the voice server of FIG. 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0027] The invention disclosed herein provides a voice server architecture, which provides improved call handling ability and improved scalability over conventional voice servers. In particular, the present invention provides a voice server which partitions voice services into four primary parts: network stacks, speech processing resources, a core processor, and core clients. In accordance with the inventive arrangements disclosed herein, high bandwidth data such as speech is not routed to the core clients. Additionally, the core processor can include lookup services while the call models can be included within the core clients. [0028]FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an architecture of a voice server 100 configured in accordance with the inventive arrangements disclosed herein. As shown, the voice server 100 can include a core processor 105, one or more core clients 110 and accompanying voice services 115, speech resources 120, and network stacks 125 and 130. Communications between the various components of the voice server 100 can be facilitated through a suitable packet-based network communications protocol such as Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). [0029] The core processor 105 can communicate with and coordinate the operation of the various components of the voice server 100. The core processor 105 can process telephony signaling information for calls, perform lookup functions to determine services associated with received calls, as well as allocate resources required for processing a telephone call. For example, the core processor 105 can identify available core clients 110 for processing a telephone call as well as allocate speech processing resources. [0030] Although the core processor 105 can receive telephony signaling information, audio or speech data for calls is not routed through the core processor 105. The core processor 105 does, however, include lookup services for querying data stores to determine telephony related information for a caller or call. Generally, lookup services enable communications over a network. As such, the core processor 105 can use a lookup protocol to obtain information regarding remote programs or machines and use that information to establish a communications link. [0031] Each of the core clients 110 can serve as an interface between the core processor 105 and a voice service 115. One core client 110 can be allocated per voice service 115. The core clients 1 10 can store call models for both incoming and outgoing calls. The core clients can fetch and execute voice services as required for processing a given call. According to one embodiment of the invention, the core clients 110 can include virtual machines. Alternatively, the core clients 110 can be associated with or instantiate one or more virtual machines, such as voice browsers, in which the voice services can be executed. The voice service 115, upon execution, can provide interactive access to a caller as well as interface with any enterprise applications as may be required. Notably, the voice service 115, once executing, can interact with the core processor 105 via the core client 110 to instruct the core processor 105 as to where to route the speech data for telephone calls. The core client 110 can include a defined application programming interface (API) which facilitates communication between the voice services 115 and the core client 110. [0032] The speech processing resources 120 of the voice server 100 can include speech recognition systems 135 and 140 as well as text-to-speech (TTS) systems 145 and 150. The speech recognition systems 135 and 140 can convert received speech to text. The TTS systems 145 and 150 can convert text to speech to be played to a caller. The speech recognition system 135 and the TTS system 145 can be incorporated into or provided as part of the voice server 100, while the speech recognition system 140 and the TTS system 150 can be third-party systems which can be added to or work cooperatively with the voice server 100. [0033] The voice server 100 can be communicatively linked to a circuit-switched telecommunications network via a gateway 155 which serves as an interface between the telecommunications network a packet-switched network. More particularly, the gateway 155 can receive telephony information including telephony signaling information and audio or speech information over T1 links, integrated services digital network (ISDN) links, and/or channel associated signaling (CAS) links. The gateway 155 can separate telephony signaling information from the speech and/or audio data, as well as combine the two for transmission over the telecommunications network. Audio information for received calls can be converted to one or more streams of audio formatted in a suitable protocol such as Real-Time Transport Protocol. Similarly, one or more channels of streamed audio can be received in the gateway 155 and format converted for transmission over the telecommunications network. [0034] The telephony signaling information can be converted from a circuit-switched format to a packet-switched format and placed on an appropriate stack conforming to one of multiple supported communications protocols. For example, received signaling information can be placed on the stack 125 conforming to an H.323 stack or the stack 130 conforming to a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) stack. Notably, both stacks 125 and 130 can be implemented as Java stacks. The consolidator 160 can serve as an interface between any protocol stacks and the core processor 105. Accordingly, through the consolidator 160, the core processor 105 can receive or read telephony signaling information from the stacks 125 and 130 as well as write telephony signaling information back to the stacks 125 and 130. [0035] In operation, the gateway 155 can receive an inbound call. As mentioned, the telephony signaling information can be separated from the audio information. Accordingly, the gateway 155 can format the received telephony signaling information for use with a packet-switched network and place the telephony signaling information on an appropriate stack such as the H.323 stack or the SIP stack. The consolidator 160 can take events from the stacks 125 and 130 and provide the telephony signaling information to the core processor 105 via a TCP/IP connection. [0036] Audio information from the inbound call can be format converted by the gateway 155 into a channel of streamed audio which can be routed to the real time streaming (RTS) engine 165. The real time streaming engine 165 can coordinate one or more channels of streaming audio, synchronize the channels, as well as link one or more of the streaming audio channels to the speech recognition system 135 or 140 for conversion to text. [0037] The core processor 105, having received the telephony signaling information for the inbound call can perform one or more functions. As the telephony signaling information can specify the called number and the calling number, the core processor 105 can query the data store 170 and/or 175 to determine one or more voice services to be implemented as well as any voice server resources 120 that may be required to process the call. The data stores 170 and 175 can include associations of telephony signaling data and voice services, references to voice services, as well as a listing of voice server resources required to implement the voice services. As shown in FIG. 1, the core processor 105 can query the data store 170 directly or can query the data stores via an appropriate interface such as API 180 and/or 185. [0038] The core processor 105, having determined one or more voice services 115 to be executed for processing the inbound call, can allocate the necessary voice server resources 120. For example, the core processor 105 can identify an idle core client 110 which is not being used by a voice service 115. The core processor 105 can pass the identified core client 115 the called number, the calling number, information describing the resources which have been allocated for processing the inbound call, as well as the services which are associated with the call. [0039] The core client 110 can fetch the designated voice services, for example from another data store or an application server, and execute the voice service. The voice service determines whether the call will be accepted. If so, the voice service signals the core processor 105, via the core client 110, to accept the call and to route the voice channel to the appropriate speech processing device. Audio received via the inbound call can be processed by the speech recognition system 135 and can be routed to the voice service 115 as text strings. The speech recognition systems 135 and 140 can communicate with the core processor 105 and the core clients 110 via the speech recognition system API 180 as shown. Notably, the speech recognition system 135, being integrated into the voice server 100, can include an additional interface, such as an application toolkit providing further functionality for the speech recognition system 135. [0040] The voice service 115 also can send text, whether generated by the voice service or obtained from another enterprise application, to the TTS system 145. Similar to the speech recognition systems, the core processor 105 and the core client 110 can communicate with the TTS system 145 via the TTS API 185. Additionally, as the TTS system 145 is integrated into the voice server 100, the TTS system 145 can include an additional interface, such as an application toolkit providing further functionality for the TTS system 145. Accordingly, text which is converted to speech via the TTS system 145 and/or 150, can be provided to the RTS engine 190. The RTS engine 190 can receive speech from the TTS systems 145 and 150, and convert the received audio into one or more channels of streamed audio. As was the case with the RTS Engine 165, the RTS engine 190 can coordinate one or more channels of streaming audio, synchronize the channels, and provide the streaming audio channels to the gateway 155. [0041] The gateway 155 can receive the streaming audio channels and convert the audio into a format suitable for transmission over the telecommunications network. Notably, the audio can be routed according to telephony signaling information provided to the gateway 155 by the core processor 105 via the consolidator 160 and the stacks 125 and 130. [0042]FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating another embodiment of the voice server 100 of FIG. 1. As shown, FIG. 2 depicts a simplified view of the voice server 100 wherein the core processor 105 is in communication with the core client 110. The core client 110 can be in communication with one or more voice browsers such as voice browser 198. Accordingly, the core client 110 can forward profile and resource information to facilitate the retrieval of one or more voice services through the voice browser 198. The profile and resource information can include, but is not limited to, the calling number, the called number, the number of subscribed voice services for the call, the uniform resource locators (URLs) to the voice services, whether speech recognition is required, whether TTS processing is required, as well as references to access the TTS and/or the speech recognition systems. Also shown in FIG. 2 are exemplary message flows between the core client 110 and the voice browser 198 which CAN execute the voice service. Accordingly, the core client 110 can include a defined API for communicating with the voice browser 198. [0043] The voice services to be executed to process an inbound call or initiate an outbound call can be retrieved from the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server 192 from the data store 194. The data store 194 can include a plurality of voice services which can be implemented in Voice Extensible Markup Language (VoiceXML), Java, Java Server Pages, Enterprise JavaBeans� (EJB), Servlets, and other types of scripts and/or application programs. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the voice services can be stored using Java Archive file format. Data store 196 can include any required audio clips or segments for use with the voice processing services. Notably, the voice browser 198 can establish secure HTTP connections with the HTTP server 192 using secured socket layer (SSL). [0044] During operation, the voice service 115, which is retrieved from the HTTP server 192 from the data store 194, can send text or application text to the TTS system 145 for conversion to speech which can be routed to a caller over an established telecommunications link. Speech or other audio signals such as dual tone multi-frequency signals received over the established telecommunications link can be recognized and/or processed in the speech recognition system 135. The resulting textual representation of the processed audio can be routed or sent to the appropriate voice service 115. As noted, communications between the voice processing resources and the voice services can be facilitated through a packet-switched data link using, for example TCP/IP. [0045]FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating an exemplary inbound call model 300 which can be disposed within and followed by the core clients of the voice server of FIG. 1. The inbound call model 300 can begin in a wait state 305. Responsive to receiving a �SETUP� command from the core processor, the call model can proceed to state 310 where a �START� command can be sent to the voice browser. The call model again can enter a wait state 315. If the core client receives a �TRANSFER� command from the voice browser, for example as a result of executing the voice service, the call model can proceed to state 320, where the core client can send a �TRAN� or transfer command to the core processor. The transfer command, both from the voice browser and to the core processor, can specify any necessary call routing information as determined by the voice service. After state 320, the call model can proceed to wait state 305. [0046] If in wait state 315, a �CONNECT� command is received from the voice browser, the call model can proceed to state 325 where a �CONN� or connect command can be sent to the core processor. After state 325, the call model can proceed to wait state 330. If in wait state 330 a �STOP� command is received from the voice browser, the call model can proceed to state 340 where an �END SESSION� command is sent to the core processor. After state 340, the call model can proceed to wait state 305. [0047] If in wait state 330 an �END SESSION� command is received from the core processor, the call model can proceed to state 335, where a �STOP� command is sent to the voice browser. After state 335, the call model can proceed to state 340 and then to wait state 305. If in wait state 315 an �END SESSION� or �TIMEOUT� command is received from the core processor, the call model can proceed to state 335 where a �STOP� command can be sent to the voice browser. The call model can proceed accordingly. If in wait state 315 a �STOP� command is received from the voice browser, however, the call model can proceed to state 340 where an �END SESSION� command can be sent to the core processor. The call model can proceed accordingly to wait state 305. [0048]FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating an exemplary outbound call model 400 which can be disposed within and followed by the core clients of the voice server of FIG. 1. [0049] The outbound call model can begin in wait state 405. If a �DIAL� command is received from the voice browser during execution of a voice service, the call model can proceed to state 410 where a �SETUP� command can be sent to the core processor. After state 410, the call model can proceed to wait state 415. In wait state 415, if an �ALERT� is received from the core processor, then a �RING� command can be sent to the voice browser in state 420. After state 420, the call model can return to wait state 415. [0050] If in wait state 415, a �CONN� or connect is received from the core processor, the call model can proceed to wait state 425. The call model can remain in wait state 425 until a �STOP� command is received from the voice browser or an �END SESSION� command is received from the core processor. If a �STOP� command is received from the voice browser, the call model can proceed to state 435 where an �END SESSION� command can be sent to the core processor. The call model then can return to wait state 405. If, however, an �END SESSION� command is received from the core processor when in wait state 425, then the call model can proceed to state 430 where a �STOP� command can be sent to the voice browser. The call model then can proceed to state 435 where an �END SESSION� command can be sent to the core processor. The call model then can return to wait state 405. [0051] If in wait state 415 a �TIMEOUT� or an �END SESSION� command is received from the core processor, the call model can proceed to state 430 where a �STOP� command can be sent to the voice browser. The call model then can proceed to state 435 and eventually return to wait state 405. [0052] In the Appendix, several call processing conditions or scenarios have been illustrated which depict exemplary message flows between the various components of the voice server and the telecommunications network. For example, the Appendix illustrates message flows for the following call scenarios: a failed outbound call, an inbound call that is terminated locally, an inbound call that is terminated externally, an inbound call that is transferred, an inbound call that is rejected, an outbound call that is terminated locally, and an outbound call that is terminated externally. [0053] The present invention can be realized in hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software. The present invention can be realized in a centralized fashion in one computer system, or in a distributed fashion where different elements are spread across several interconnected computer systems. Any kind of computer system or other apparatus adapted for carrying out the methods described herein is suited. A typical combination of hardware and software can be a general purpose computer system with a computer program that, when being loaded and executed, controls the computer system such that it carries out the methods described herein. [0054] The present invention also can be embedded in a computer program product, which comprises all the features enabling the implementation of the methods described herein, and which when loaded in a computer system is able to carry out these methods. Computer program or application in the present context means any expression, in any language, code or notation, of a set of instructions intended to cause a system having an information processing capability to perform a particular function either directly or after either or both of the following: a) conversion to another language, code or notation; b) reproduction in a different material form. [0055] This invention can be embodied in other forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof.

MAYA LIN'S MEMORIAL DEFENSE - The Washington Post
MAYA LIN'S MEMORIAL DEFENSE
Architect Maya Lin, who as a student seven years ago designed and fought for the stark black granite Vietnam Veterans Memorial, yesterday found herself defending it once again. Before the Senate subcommittee on public lands, national parks and forests, she argued against the addition of yet another statue to the memorial grounds, this one to honor women veterans.
"It's been dedicated, and I think it's done," she said. "In allowing this addition you substantiate the assumption that our national monuments can be tampered with by private interest groups years after the monuments have undergone the proper legal and esthetic approval processes."
Still, she was not optimistic about prevailing upon the committee, which yesterday held its only public hearing on the proposal. After her testimony, wearing a look of resignation, Lin said she had "no doubt" that a bill authorizing the statue's installation would be approved. "It's going to happen," said the 28-year-old designer of the five-year-old monument. "And I just don't see where it will end."
Lin's testimony was supported by J. Carter Brown, chairman of the Commission of Fine Arts, and by Reginald W. Griffith, executive director of the National Capital Planning Commission, federal planning bodies that have ruled against the proposal recently.
Support for the statue came from 10 of the 18 witnesses, including representatives from such major veterans groups as the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans and the Vietnam Veterans of America.
Committee staffers predict easy Senate passage, although there is no companion House bill yet. "It will be a tricky thing to be opposed to a bill that honors women," said a senior staffer. The bill was introduced last October after the Commission of Fine Arts rejected the proposal.
Yesterday was yet another of many conflicts for the memorial, which has become Washington's most popular monument, attracting more than 1 million visitors yearly. When Lin's design was chosen in 1981, it attracted a thunder of opposition. Then-interior secretary James Watt held up its construction permit until a compromise was reached and a statue and flagpole erected on the site.
The newest proposal -- a lone Army nurse -- came from the Vietnam Women's Memorial Project. Donna-Marie Boulay, who heads that group, testified that "a women's statue is appropriate ... We lived and worked amid the wounded, the dying, the dead."
Though many agree with the idea for a memorial to women, and point to a 1986 law authorizing a memorial honoring women veterans of all wars, they oppose this one because it would disturb the design.
"If this year's legislation says we stop with just one addition," said Carter Brown, voicing fears that this will open the gate for special interest groups, "what does next year's legislation say?"
Sen. David Durenberger (R-Minn.), who introduced the Senate bill along with Sen. Alan Cranston (D-Calif.), tried to calm those fears, pointing out a clause stipulating no further additions. "I want the record to show that the sponsors of S. 2402 consider this statue a fitting way to complete the Vietnam Veterans Memorial."
Opponents to this proposal also are concerned with Rep. Robert Dornan's (R-Calif.) bill, which seeks to have a tall flagpole at the memorial's apex.
