A unique object navigation system, user interface, and method that facilitate faster and smoother navigation of objects are provided. For example, the system can generate a plurality of objects that can be rendered on a display space that spans a single page in length, thereby mitigating the need to navigate through multiple pages. The system can determine the length of the page according to the number of objects generated. To view off-screen objects, an infinite scroll component can be employed. The amount of scroll space needed to view the plurality of objects can be determined in part by the length of the page and/or by the number of objects. The objects can also be viewed in a film strip format that is infinitely scrollable. The film strip view allows a view of the objects to be maintained while also viewing a selected object in greater detail at the same time.

In general, searching has become a popular topic in the computing world in recent years. With users wanting and demanding faster processing speeds, more memory, and smarter computers, searching and a system's ability to return accurate results almost instantaneously may be viewed as an important aspect of the computer experience. Conventional search systems display or present search results in the form of a column or list to the user. Unfortunately, this format can be problematic for several reasons. The list may span several if not hundreds of pages which can be cumbersome and very time-consuming to page to follow the results. Thus, only a fraction of the results can be viewed onscreen at a time. When a particular result is clicked on for more-detailed viewing, only that result may be seen and the user has to continuously switch between screens to view either the results list or any selected result. Hence, the user cannot maintain the view of the other search results when looking at any one particular search result. Overall, navigating around search results tends to be clunky and slow using traditional navigation controls and techniques.
The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the systems and/or methods discussed herein. This summary is not an extensive overview of the systems and/or methods discussed herein. It is not intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope of such systems and/or methods. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
The subject application relates to a system(s) and/or methodology that facilitate viewing and manipulating search results. In particular, the application involves an improved user interface and enhanced navigation controls that when taken together, provide a smoother and more efficient search experience for a user. For example, web search results (e.g., objects) can be presented in a display space in a grid-like arrangement of multiple columns and rows. Contrary to traditional user interface and navigation means, the results are not paginated across multiple pages. Rather, they are essentially maintained on a single page, whereby the length of the page can depend in part on the number of objects. Thus, they can be scrolled through all at once mitigating the need to page over and over again to see more results. This unique scrolling component can also accelerate or decelerate through the object results based in part on the movement of the scroll bar. That is, moving the scrolling component faster or slower navigates through the object results faster or slower, respectively. Arrow keys and other typical navigation controls found on a keyboard or other input or pointing devices can also be employed to assist with the navigation or manipulation of the object results.
In addition, the search results can be returned in the form of individual thumbnails wherein each thumbnail represents a shrunken view of each result. Each thumbnail can be re-sized as desired such that some thumbnails may appear larger or smaller than others. The size of the thumbnails can determine the number of results visible onscreen at once. That is, increasing the dimensions of one or more thumbnails may decrease the number of thumbnails viewable at once in the display space. The object results can also be collectively or selectively zoomed in or out to facilitate the viewing of each object without having to actually click on any one object to enlarge its size in the display space. This can be accomplished manually by selecting a number of objects and choosing a different thumbnail size or it can be done in a continuous zoom. Navigation to more results can also be accomplished by grabbing the results page such as with a pointing device and then moving the pointer up or down and/or left or right.
The user interface can also be improved by allowing the user to view both the object results and a selected object result in greater detail at the same time. This can be accomplished in part by employing a film strip view of the object results along an edge of the screen, thereby leaving the remaining display space for viewing the selected object result. Again, the object results in the film strip can be scrolled infinitely mitigating the need to page repeatedly to navigate to additional results. Alternatively, these object results can also be grabbed and moved up or down or right or left to see more object results that are currently off-screen.
Search results can be in the form of various objects such as images, text, documents, sound and video files, and URLs. When performing an image search on the Web, for example, some of the images returned may be found on various web pages. Using conventional search and retrieval systems, it can be difficult to locate the image on the web page. The subject application provides an overlay of the image on the web page (the source of the image) which can improve the view-ability of the image while still maintaining a reference to its source. Otherwise, the image can be viewed in the web page or any page on which it is found. This can be applied to any object returned from a search such as text, documents, sound, video and URLs. For example, a search for the name of an author such as Ernest Hemingway may return thumbnail views of his numerous book covers, articles, images, and/or URLs having his name as a part thereof. One source of an article may be an American history website. Thus, a relevant portion of the article can overlay the website in which the article is found. An alternative view can be of the actual web page with the article. A drop-down screen or window can be employed as well to offer additional views of the object result aside from the current onscreen view. Therefore, if only the article is shown onscreen, then some additional views may include the article as seen in the webpage or the article overlaying the webpage. When dealing with an image of a car, for instance, the additional images may include a top view of the car, a side view of the car, a frontal view of the car, the car as viewed from the web page, the car alone, the car overlaying the web page on which it is found, etc.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, certain illustrative aspects of the invention are described herein in connection with the following description and the annexed drawings. These aspects are indicative, however, of but a few of the various ways in which the principles of the invention may be employed and the subject invention is intended to include all such aspects and their equivalents. Other advantages and novel features of the invention may become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the drawings.
The subject systems and/or methods are now described with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the systems and/or methods. It may be evident, however, that the subject systems and/or methods may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to facilitate describing them.
As used herein, the terms "component" and "system" are intended to refer to a computer-related entity, either hardware, a combination of hardware and software, software, or software in execution. For example, a component may be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, an object, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, and a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a server and the server can be a component. One or more components may reside within a process and/or thread of execution and a component may be localized on one computer and/or distributed between two or more computers.
The subject application provides enhanced user interface and navigational controls to facilitate viewing and/or manipulating search results. The number of search results retrieved for a given search can vary tremendously. For example, one search may produce 100 results whereas most others may return tens of thousands results—a seemingly infinite number. Regardless of the actual number, many typical systems currently in use distribute the results across multiple pages as needed, whereby each page may be limited to 10 results, for instance. Consequently, multiple pages of results are often obtained and viewing them requires paging to the next page over and over again. Not only is this a slow and tedious task, several intermediate clicks or steps are often required in order to switch views between a selected object and the object results list.
The subject application mitigates these problems by providing for an infinite scrolling feature that allows the viewing of all or substantially all object results by scrolling up or down or right or left without the need to page to the next page repeatedly. This can be accomplished in part by dynamically computing an amount of scroll space needed according to the number of results returned. Thus, the amount of scroll space can be dynamically determined each time a search is performed and search results are returned to provide an accurate sense of position along the list of results.
This contrasts with traditional techniques in which a page of any content has a fixed length. Any content that exceeds this length is moved to a subsequent page; thus to view this content, a different page has to be opened or clicked on. Similarly, a conventional scroll bar is programmed to handle a set number of objects (e.g., lines, rows, or columns), or search results in this case, so that the user can retain a sense of position with respect to the entire page. For example, when the scroll bar positioner is positioned in the middle, then the user knows that he/she is at about mid-page and there is approximately a half-page more of content to view. When the full page is not viewable at once onscreen, then the scroll bar can navigate through the entire page to see more content located thereon. Navigating to view more results becomes more cumbersome and inefficient when multiple pages of objects exist. Conventional systems tend to be limited to navigation to one page at a time. Unfortunately viewing results one page a time in this manner can be costly in terms of time, effort, and energy. The subject scrolling technique alleviates this way of haphazard navigation by allowing the complete list of results to be scrolled through at once without stopping to page to another subset of results. It should be appreciated that the scrolling technique described herein can be applied to search results lists or any other content presented to the user in a column and/or row format. For the purpose of brevity and ease of discussion, the subject application will be discussed with respect to searching, retrieving objects, and presenting search results, though any computing task is suitable.
Referring now to
One or more navigational components 130 can be employed to navigate and/or manipulate the objects in a smoother and more user-efficient way. The one or more navigational components 130 can include a scrolling component that can scroll through any number of objects from beginning to end without stopping to page up or down to a previous or next page to view a subsequent set of objects. Instead, the scrolling of the object results can be considered infinite—whereby the objects retrieved from the search are essentially distributed across a single page rather than across multiple pages.
Other navigational components 130 can also include a thumbnail size control. One or more thumbnails can be selectively chosen to change their dimensions while still retaining a view of at least a subset of any nearby thumbnails not chosen for the size adjustment. In addition to the thumbnail size control, each thumbnail can also be manually re-sized by dragging an actionable corner of the thumbnail inward or outward, upward or downward, or left or right. By altering the thumbnail size of each object based on manual input, the desired number of objects as well as the desired size of each object can be determined according to diverse user preferences.
Referring now to
The infinite scroll control 210 can dynamically compute an amount of scroll space needed to accommodate any number of object results or objects for which scrolling is desired. Consequently, an infinite number of objects can be scrolled through an infinite scroll space so that a large or small number of objects returned from a search, for example, can be readily viewed, thus mitigating the need to page up or down in order to navigate to see more results. Hence, the infinite scroll control 210 can substantially enhance an end user's computer experience by providing less costly and more efficient object viewing capabilities.
The zoom controller 220 can change the amount of zoom applied to the objects appearing onscreen or off-screen. For example, when zooming in on the objects, more detail can be seen among a reduced number of objects visible in the display space at the same time. Likewise, when zooming out, less detail can be seen among a higher number of objects that are visible onscreen at the same time.
The film strip viewer 230 can take advantage of the available onscreen display space by arranging the objects or object results in a film strip manner along an edge of the screen or display area. When the user selects an object to view in greater detail, the object can be selected and then appear larger in size in the display space. Therefore, the user can maintain a view of the objects as well as view a particular object in much greater detail at the same time. Alternative views of the selected object may also be available. These can appear in a drop-down window for quick and easy viewing by the user. In addition, the user may select a view from this drop-down and readily switch views. One of the alternative views includes an overlay of the object with respect to the source of the object (e.g., by the object overlay component 240). That is, suppose the object is an image of a vintage car which was found on multiple websites. Each image or object result can overlay its respective source so that the user can maintain a point of reference for the image in relation to the source (e.g., page on which it was found).
The following several figures represent exemplary user interfaces of the systems described above. It should be appreciated that other layouts of the various screen features may be possible or available and such are contemplated to fall within the scope of the subject application.
Turning now to
Turning now to
When a user desires to see a more detailed view of the image, the image can be selected to appear in the other (larger) portion of the display space. For example, the user selects Image 3, thus a web page in which Image 3 can be found may appear in the display space. When the location of the image, in this case, (on a webpage) is not readily apparent to the user, the image (e.g., Image 3) can appear as an overlay over the source of the image. The overlay can obscure any content beneath it as depicted in
Various methodologies will now be described via a series of acts. It is to be understood and appreciated that the subject system and/or methodology is not limited by the order of acts, as some acts may, in accordance with the subject application, occur in different orders and/or concurrently with other acts from that shown and described herein. For example, those skilled in the art will understand and appreciate that a methodology could alternatively be represented as a series of interrelated states or events, such as in a state diagram. Moreover, not all illustrated acts may be required to implement a methodology in accordance with the subject application.
Referring now to
At 820, the method 800 can determine a length or an approximate length of a single page for display and navigation of the objects based at least in part on the number of objects retrieved or present. The scroll space for this single page can also be determined at 830 based at least in part on the number of objects retrieved and/or the length of the page. Thus, the length of the single page can change dynamically with each new or subsequent set of objects retrieved or returned by a search component. At 840, the objects can be presented on the single page and can be infinitely scrolled through in order to view all or substantially all of the objects—some of which may be off-screen. The length of this single page as well as the desired scroll space for this page can be determined in part by the number of objects retrieved for the search.
In order to provide additional context for various aspects of the subject application,

NIH Casts Critical Eye on How It Gives Grants
Nearly $15-billion for colleges is at stake in a review of the process for evaluating proposals
The National Institutes of Health's methods for reviewing and financing academic research proposals are often praised as the gold standard. Some American scientists, though, have recently offered less flattering descriptions, like "broken" and "arbitrary."
NIH officials have heard both arguments, and plenty in between, in recent months. They have begun their broadest-ever self-examination of how the agency chooses grant proposals for biomedical research. That is important for
The Chronicle Review


text: Pakistan has turned to the US and China for help in modernizing its air force, but economic woes have strained the government's budget, even for the country's powerful military. Tension with the US over a host of issues, including the covert raid that killed Osama bin Laden last year, also hasn't helped. Shahzad Chaudhry, a former senior Pakistani air force officer, said the number of planes that have crashed "would be worrying for any air force." "If I were air force chief, I certainly wouldn't want to see over a dozen airplanes being lost," said Chaudhry. "Obviously we need to bring those numbers down." At least 13 planes have crashed since May 2011, many because of technical problems, according to a record maintained by The Associated Press. The air force did not respond to request for comment on the crashes. The most recent accident occurred on Nov. 22, when a Dassault Mirage fighter jet crashed on a routine night training mission in central Punjab province, killing the pilot. The air force said at the time that it was investigating the cause of the crash, but eyewitnesses said the plane caught fire before it fell out of the sky. Nearly half the planes that have crashed were decades-old Mirage fighters. They make up at least a quarter of the force's fleet of about 400 combat aircraft, according to the website GlobalSecurity.org. Many were built nearly 50 years ago and acquired from foreign militaries that had already retired them. "We bought them at almost throw-away prices, brought them over, overhauled them and continue to operate them," said former Pakistani air force chief Tanvir Mahmood. "This was our compulsion because of the financial constraints that we had." Chaudhry, the former senior air force officer, said the Mirage was a "very sturdy platform" that shouldn't fail easily. "But when you have the intensity of an operational combat environment, problems tend to be there," said Chaudhry. The crashes raise questions not only about the age of the aircraft, but also flight maintenance practices, said Sajad Haider, a celebrated former air force pilot who has written a book about the service. Other planes that have gone down include the Chengdu F-7 fighter jet bought from China, the JF-17 Thunder fighter jet jointly developed with China and Pakistan's Mushshak trainer, a propeller plane.

Depth of Speed: Mark Arcenal
Hypebeast TV recently visited our paddock in San Mateo and filmed us doing our day to day. They interviewed Mark about his passion for cars and what it meant to the business. Check out the video which features his Skyline Hakosuka, S14 and the Bus.
About Depth of Speed
Depth of Speed was born from a desire of story, travel and a love of anything automotive related. Next year my wife and I will be taking to the streets to uncover and document the greatest stories from the automotive world. From coast-to-coast and from top to bottom, finding the best stories will take the highest priority. Every time I meet someone new or attend an event I'm amazed at the depth, passion and love that the automotive world brings. Depth of Speed is just that – an in-depth look at these stories. There is something about motors and machines, that to an outsider looking in, would make us seem plain crazy.
We have begun the process of outfitting our trusty Scamp trailer to traverse the entire country. Known affectionately as a fiberglass egg, our Scamp will be our home for one year of our lives. At only 13 feet long it will make for a cozy year.

you guys are doing such amazing work
my gosh i feel like im there in the moment thank you guys for blessing every one with this rare
Good interview.
Dang, way cool video! Nice work Josh and Mark. Much respect for you Mark. This video gave me an idea of the kind of person you are and that you're a car guy and have made yourself successful in life. I love that bus. I can remember riding shotgun in an early bus, lowered and primered similar to yours and it was such an experience. My first car was a '72 Bug that I did a Cal-Look style build on. I miss the smell of that car. Huge passion for the old cars.
Josh, great to see where you've gone with your videos in the last year. It's been awesome to watch. Can't wait to see what you do at Bonneville this year!
Cool Video.I agree nothing feels or smells like an older car. the smell of gas and carpet that absorbs the smells of gas and fresh open window air.
I love that car I don't think after owning something like that I could drive anything else!!!
Such a cool video! I love the passion you can just feel in this video. Keep it up Mark!

80-year-old man accused of molesting young girl
A North Naples man was arrested Tuesday following accusations that he molested a girl younger than 12.
Louis G. Chasse, 80, faces two counts of lewd/lascivious molestation.
Chasse is accused of inappropriately touching the girl during a visit to his home last summer, according to an arrest report. When questioned Tuesday by Collier detectives, Chasse said his actions were "not for sexual gratification" but said he would not have wanted his wife to see what he was doing, a report said.
Chasse told detectives if he saw a stranger doing the same thing, he would "consider him a dirty old man," reports state.
As of Wednesday, Chasse, of the 1700 block of Bald Eagle Drive, remained in custody at the Naples Jail Center.

Torche Gets Back Into Its Heavy Groove With Restarter

Ben Weasel knows this, and he sees no point in contributing to the morgue of dead discs. The former Screeching Weasel/Riverdales frontman has just released a new solo album, These Ones Are Bitter. But you won't find it in FYE or Sam Goody or any non-virtual store for that matter. With the exception of the limited-edition vinyl release Edmond Records has planned for later this year, These Ones Are Bitter is available only in digital format.
It's the first album on Weasel's digital-only label, Mendota Recording Company, a project he knows will likely be a challenge given the "you gotta hold it to own it" mentality of many music fans. But without having to shoulder the cost of CD replication and having spent next to nothing on recording costs, Weasel's not exactly betting the farm on it.
"If the thing flops I haven't lost that much money, because I didn't put up that much money," Weasel says via phone from Madison, Wisconsin, his home for the past year. "If it exceeds my expectations which are very low I can feel like I was the first one on my level who did this." But his level is one not easily categorized. Though Weasel had his taste of the big leagues the Riverdales toured with Green Day in 1995 and influenced numerous mainstream "punk" bands, he prefers to stay out of the spotlight. "I've always been more comfortable in an underdog role, and when that wasn't my role, it became boring to me," Weasel says, describing the Riverdales' three-month tour with Green Day. "It gets to the point where it's like punching a fucking clock."
For the past two decades, the Illinois native (born Ben Foster) has been kicking up a racket both musically and as a former columnist in punk rags like Maximumrocknroll and Hit List, as well as his own fanzine, Panic Button. (Many of those columns would later turn up in his book, Punk is a Four-Letter Word.) Screeching Weasel formed in 1986 and dissolved three years and two albums later, only to reemerge in 1991 with a new lineup and a new full-length, My Brain Hurts, an album that laid the blueprint for the generations of pop-punk bands that followed.
Rooted in Ramones-styled minimalism and armed with an abundance of oohs, ahs and whoh-oh-oh-ohs, to say nothing of the melodic, three-note guitar leads and catchy choruses, Screeching Weasel became one of the most emulated (read: ripped-off) punk bands of the 1990s. The band broke up again in 1994 and, with the exception of guitarist John "Jughead" Pierson, morphed into the Riverdales, a back-to-roots band that negated any semblance of '90s pop-punk, going instead for the "golden era" Ramones sound. Two years later, Screeching Weasel came back from the dead, releasing a few more albums before disbanding for good in 2001. The Riverdales, having initially called it quits in 1997, regrouped in 2003 to release Phase Three, its final album. By then, however, Weasel had already released his first album, 2002's Fidatevi. That album was far more personal and reflective than most of Weasel's previous work (with the possible exception of Screeching Weasel's Emo). On These Ones Are Bitter, though, Weasel adopted a narrative approach.
"On the new one, I'm writing from the perspective of two characters in a relationship that's breaking up," he says. "Some songs were written from the male perspective, some from female perspective, and one that's both. I wanted to do something that was not as I wouldn't say the last album was a confessional, but it was personal. I wanted to get away from that."
Despite the ostensibly dour subject matter, the songwriting on These Ones is a lot brighter and poppier than on Fidatevi. All the essential pop-punk elements are here the vocal hooks, three-note guitar leads, oohs and ahs and this time around, there's more of each packed into every song. For example, the opening track, "Let Freedom Ring," starts off in familiar Weasel mode, beginning at full steam with a terse, catchy guitar lead that's followed by the introductory "welcome back" verse. Before the song's halfway mark, however, it gives way to a Fastbacks-styled instrumental breakdown (sans over-the-top guitar solos) before changing to a higher key and resuming the main hook, creating a crescendo on top of a crescendo something Weasel employs throughout the album.
What's most different about These Ones Are Bitter compared with every other album Weasel's made is its execution and production, courtesy of Weasel's Iron String Quartet. The group comprises guitarist Mike Kennerty (who also produced the album), drummer Chris Gaylor of the All-American Rejects, and Alkaline Trio's Dan Andriano. It's hard to refer to a punk album as polished without sounding the obvious alarm bells. But there's a difference between polished and slick, and These Ones embodies the former without succumbing to the excesses of the latter. It is, after all, a pop-punk album. This might not sit well with the lowest-common-denominator types who expect every new Weasel recording to sound like My Brain Hurts. They're the same people who think Weasel teamed up with Kennerty and Gaylor in an attempt to capitalize on their success. The truth, of course, is a lot more random.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bill White has a new biographical television commercial that is just running in San Antonio for the time being. A national Republican television time purchasing company reported that White has put $45,000 into the purchase.
Texas Politics
White's new San Antonio television commercial
One Response
Why would Bill White waste all that money on an ad when he gets full time, full court puff piece coverage in the Express-News? I saw an ad banner for White when I arrived at mysa.com just now, and at first assumed it was just another "news" article from Fikac or Ratcliffe extolling the virtues of the Democrat candidate.
"White gets sheriffs, chides Perry over land deals"…"The Rick Perry sigh"…"White calls Perry's education record 'abysmal'"…"Perry's tightrope walk on immigration"…"Hutchison crossover support boosts White"
"For the White campaign news release on the sheriffs, please read the extended entry."
Guffaw! We ALWAYS get the White campaign news releases in the Express-News, probably verbatim for the "news" articles they run on the campaign.
When have we read about multimillionaire oilman Bill White using fracking fluids in his oil drilling that pollutes our aquifers? I guess opposition to aquifer pollution is only relevant when it is used to oppose golf courses, and never when it is done by Democratic politicians…

For David Winston and Marc Hall, creative director of special events, the main goal in doing up this New England house for the holidays was to find atypical solutions that combined elegance and organics. In the dining room, looking beyond the polished first impression reveals some surprises, like a layer of berries tucked beneath the blown-glass antler candleholders. In the trio of bouquets, dogwood stems (Cornus alba 'Kesselringii') support a simple white-and-green palette of orchids, snowflakes, hellebores and ball-shaped flower heads of Brunia. The crowning glory of the room is the chandelier. The drum-shaped framework of aluminum and wire, 30 inches across and 38 inches tall, was created to fit over the existing light fixture. It took three people two days to meticulously attach its tiny "jewels" — pine needles, hemlock cones, Mylar snowflakes, faux gems and Hypericum berries.

In HFR we are family with a rich heritage worth reliving. We can actually see the evidence of the lofty days of our forefathers on the mountain all around us. To be able to visit, feel, touch and enjoy the icons of HFRs past and the glory days of our ancestors is an adventure worth sharing. On the other side, too often we see the crushing sight of great icons of "Little Charleston" gently returning to dust.
Our HFR family was born for the noble purpose of keeping our rich heritage alive for our progeny and for their progeny. I love remembering my mother's passion to impart to my sisters and me the intrinsic value of our Flat Rock heritage. Dad joined Mom in instilling in us a burning desire to help save and share this majestic piece of history. And, thanks to you and the dedicated HFR banner carriers before you and me, we're actually doing just that!
Today we find ourselves in a better position than ever before to play our own individual parts in saving and returning great threatened Flat Rock landmark icons to their original grandeur. The excitement is in the wind. We know you'll want to be a part of it. Stay tuned.

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
As influenza vaccine efficacy is reported to be lower in elderly subjects compared to healthy adults, probably as a result of immunosenescence, there is a desire to devise ways to increase the current vaccines efficacy for this target population. Adjuvants are known to boost immune responses, thus representing one way to increase the efficacy of the current GlaxoSmithKline Fluarix™ influenza vaccine in elderly subjects. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and the reactogenicity of a revaccination with the adjuvanted GlaxoSmithKline influenza vaccine administered intramuscularly about 1 year after administration of the first dose of vaccine. For immunogenicity and safety evaluations, subjects who have already received Fluarix™ during the preceeding year will receive a dose of commercial vaccine and will form the control group of this trial.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.---GoMocs.com is starting a series called the "Season in Pictures" today recapping a memorable 2013-14. It's only fitting to begin with freshman point guard Greg Pryor.
The Memphis, Tenn., native did something not seen very often at Chattanooga. He became the first freshman to start every game at the point in the DI era. Click the photo gallery link above for Greg's season in pictures.
Three-Point Shot: Greg Pryor
1) First freshman to start every game at point guard for the Mocs in the DI era. Most starts (33) by a freshman point guard eclipsing Wes Moore's 23 in 1995-96. Hall of Famer William Gordon played in 26 games as a frosh in 1973-74, but "starts" were not kept as a statistic.
2) Top Play: Game-winning charge taken with 1.1 seconds to play to secure one-point home win over Wofford.
3) Best game: 19 points, four rebounds, five assists and three steals at Nevada in two-point loss on buzzer-beating three-point bank shot by Deonte Burton. The Wolf Pack tied for third with UNLV in the Mountain West Conference this season.

Mission Statement and Goals
The mission of the ORNL DAAC is to assemble, distribute, and provide data services for a comprehensive archive of terrestrial biogeochemistry and ecological dynamics observations and models to facilitate research, education, and decision-making in support of NASA's Earth Science.
ORNL DAAC Data and Data Services are used to:
- Understand terrestrial biogeochemical processes
- Assess the accuracy and uncertainty of remote sensing products
- Integrate process understanding within remote sensing observations
- Develop, assess, and drive biogeochemical models
- Educate future earth scientists
- Provide information for decision-making activities
ORNL DAAC's Goals are to:
- Serve as the primary active archive for biogeochemical dynamics data derived from NASA's field campaigns
- Provide field data to assess the accuracy and uncertainty of NASA's remote sensing products
- Work with NASA to develop best practices, tools, and training for data providers to generate terrestrial ecology and biogeochemical dynamics data for sharing and archival
- Archive and disseminate regional and global data products for modeling and analysis
- Archive and disseminate model source code to enable synthesis of results across modeling studies
- Work with NASA to develop and use the best available technology to organize and present data to users
- Facilitate interdisciplinary synthesis by providing and integrating diverse data required to address common hypothesis (across multiple scales, model-data intercomparison, etc.)
A NASA EOSDIS Data Center
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center (ORNL DAAC) for biogeochemical Dynamics is one of the NASA Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) data centers managed by the Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) Project, which is responsible for providing scientific and other users' access to data from NASA's Earth Science Missions. ORNL DAAC is operated by the ORNL Environmental Sciences Division and is responsible for data archival, product development and distribution, and user support for biogeochemical and ecological data and models.
Supporting NASA Earth Science
NASA's Earth Sciences Division has built its Research and Analysis activity around a suite of six interdisciplinary science focus areas. The mission of the ORNL DAAC for Biogeochemical Dynamics falls within the Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems focus area, which addresses:
- the distribution and cycling of carbon among the active terrestrial, oceanic, and atmospheric reservoirs
- ecosystems as they are affected by human activity, as they change due to their own intrinsic biogeochemical dynamics, and as they respond to climatic variations and, in turn, affect climate.
User Working Group
The ORNL DAAC User Working Group (UWG) provides guidance in the assembly of data and model products needed in biogeochemical studies to address global environmental change issues.

Virtual Network Overview
Updated: July 10, 2015
A virtual network is a network overlay that you can configure in Azure. VMs and services that are part of the same virtual network can access each other. However, services outside the virtual network have no way to identify or connect to services hosted within virtual networks unless you decide to configure that specific type of connection, as in the case of VNet to VNet configurations. This provides an added layer of isolation to your services. Azure Virtual Network also lets you extend your network into Azure and treat deployments as a natural extension to your on-premises network.
Whether you need a virtual network depends entirely on what you are trying to do. There are no one-size-fits-all virtual network designs. However, you'll find that every solution falls into one of 3 basic configuration categories: No VNet, Cloud-only VNet, or Cross-premises VNet (which includes Hybrid solutions). Once you know which basic category your project falls under, you can then build on it to create a network design that supports the solution that you want to create.
It's best to know if you need a virtual network before you deploy your VMs and cloud services. VMs and cloud services acquire their network settings during deployment. This means you can't simply move something into a VNet if it is already deployed. However, you can redeploy your VMs and cloud services. It's a relatively straight forward process, but can result in some minor downtime for the VMs or services while you redeploy.
The graphic below will help you decide. Keep in mind that this is just a basic decision model to get you started. For more details, see Are there other considerations?, Cloud-only virtual network configurations, and Cross-premises virtual network connectivity.
When deciding if you need a virtual network, there are a few other things to consider. You may also want to create a virtual network for the following reasons:
Name resolution: If you want to connect to your VMs and cloud services by hostname or SRV records, rather than using the IP address and/or port number, you'll need name resolution. When you deploy VMs and cloud services to a virtual network you can use Azure-provided name resolution or your own DNS solution, depending on your name resolution requirements. For information about name resolution options, see Name Resolution for VMs and Role Instances.
Enhanced security and isolation: Since each virtual network is run as an overlay, only virtual machines and services that are part of the same network can access each other. Services outside the virtual network have no way to identify or connect to services hosted within virtual networks. This provides an added layer of isolation to your services.
Extended trust and security boundary: The virtual network extends the trust boundary from a single service to the virtual network boundary. You can create several cloud services and virtual machines within a single virtual network and have them communicate with each other without having to go through the internet. You can also setup services that use a common backend database tier or use a shared management service.
Extend your on-premises network to the cloud: You can join VMs in Azure to your domain running on-premises. You can access and leverage all on-premises investments around monitoring and identity for your services hosted in Azure.
Use persistent private IP addresses: Virtual machines within a VNet will have a stable private IP address. We assign an IP address from the address range you specify and offer an infinite DHCP lease on it. You can also choose to configure your virtual machine with a specific private IP address from the address range when you create it. This ensures that your virtual machine retains its private IP address even when Stop/Deallocated. See How to Set a Static Internal Private IP.
Cloud-only virtual network configurations are VNets that don't use a virtual network gateway to connect back to your on-premises network or directly to other Azure VNets. They aren't really a different type of VNet, but rather, they are a way to configure a VNet without configuring cross-premises connectivity. You connect to the VMs and cloud services from the endpoints, rather than through a VPN connection.
Cloud-only configurations are very easy to create. This is because you don't need to coordinate your IP address ranges with the ranges on your local network or with the ranges of other VNets. You also don't need to configure a VPN device. If you create a VNet and find later that you want to add cross-premises connectivity, it can be somewhat more complicated than to simply add a gateway to your VNet. This is because the IP address ranges that you select can't overlap with the ranges that are on your local on-premises network or with other VNets that you may want to connect to. In that case, it may make sense to create a new VNet with the required settings for a cross-premises connection, and then redeploy your cloud services and VMs to the new VNet.
For Cloud-only configurations, see Create a virtual network.
Cross-premises connections offer an enormous amount of flexibility. You can create multi-site configurations, VNet to VNet configurations, ExpressRoute connections, and combinations of multiple configuration types. If you are extending your on-premises network to the cloud, this is the way to do it. Most cross-premises connections involve using a VPN device to create a secure connection to your Azure virtual network. Or, if you prefer, you can even create an ExpressRoute direct connection to Azure through your network service provider or exchange provider and bypass the public internet altogether.
Cross-premises and Hybrid solutions can be somewhat more complex to plan than a Cloud-only virtual network configuration. Often, these types of connections require collaboration with your network engineer because they involve coordinating network routing as well as configuring VPN devices.
