Aquaculture in a lagoon environment needs to address the technical, economic and social implications of the growing demand for marine products, new consumer requirements and the strong pressure for fishery and environmental conservation. An understanding of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the lagoon site is vital if aquacultural yield is to be maintained and raised. Full geographic coverage of the area under study, environmental projections and anticipated development works are all factors that can be readily captured by synoptic and multitemporal satellite imagery.
The operational availability of high-resolution satellite data, such as Landsat Thematic Mapper, SPOT, Soyouz and ERS-SAR, opens up new possibilities for studying marine coastal strips. These means of observation have a number of advantages over conventional tools.
Nador Lagoon, covering an area of 11 500 ha, lies along Morocco's Mediterranean coast. It has been the focus of several national and international programmes mainly because of its aquacultural potential. Localized yields encouraged the study of the lagoon as a whole. SPOT and Landsat satellite imagery and a concurrent ground survey produced a database able to deal with varying operating scenarios (floating cage aquaculture). Appropriate indices extracted from satellite imagery were employed to generate turbidity and bathymetric maps for the total lagoon area. Ground surveys were conducted to calibrate the satellite images and gather the necessary chemical and biological data.

Concentrations of nitrates (left) and phosphates (right) |
Salinity (left) and concentrations of dissolved oxygen |
The satellite images and ground data were combined to form a lagoon data bank encompassing the criteria for any expansion of floating cage aquaculture.
Physical description of the site: satellite imagery was used to describe the physical characteristics of the lagoon, producing detailed environmental mapping by overlaying the area under study and turbidity and bathymetric maps.
Chemical and biological description of the site: the ground surveys enhanced understanding of the general chemical and biological conditions in the lagoon (phosphates, nitrates, dissolved oxygen, salinity ...).
Construction of a digital database for the site: a geographic information system (GIS)2 was elaborated for the site to assist decision-making regarding future expansion and development works.
Costs (US$/km2) | Time (months) | |
Acquisition of satellite data | 2.0 | 1.0 |
Digital processing and modelling | 2.4 | 2.5 |
Thematic interpretation | 1.2 | 1.0 |
Ground survey | 1.5 | 1.0 |
GIS and databases | 2.4 | 1.5 |
Map preparation | 1.25 | 0.5 |
Total | 10.75 | 7.5 |
The evaluation of costs and delivery times is based on the overall implementation of the study through a combination of national expertise and minimal international assistance. Delivery times may vary slightly according to the complexity of other study sites.
The use of satellite imagery helped enhance the understanding of the lagoon site within a reasonable time frame. The digitized satellite data made it possible to evaluate and model natural phenomena, thereby helping decision-making for enhanced aquacultural management and development. The building of a database that can be continuously updated will be a useful tool for developers as they plan future actions.
The methodology developed in this study can be easily extrapolated to other large lagoon areas. It can also serve as the basis for identification of other off-shore sites along the coast, employing different types of satellite imagery to improve the understanding of circulation fronts, surface temperatures, geomorphological mapping and other aspects.
This study was conducted by the Royal Centre of Spatial Remote Sensing, the Ministry of Ocean Fisheries and the Merchant Navy of Morocco.

Building a Linux Certification Program
Throughout early 1999, much of our work occurred in the individual committees focused on very specific tasks. As outlined below, we developed a job analysis survey, began our public relations, built an Advisory Council to provide additional feedback and formed an independent nonprofit corporation.
Among our pool of volunteers were several individuals with degrees in psychometrics, who spent considerable time working on methods to validate the results of our exams. One of these individuals, Scott Murray, chairs our Exam Development committee and has been working hard on ensuring our exams are developed in the best method possible.
In March and April 1999, Scott and Tom Peters developed a web-based system through which we conducted an extensive job analysis survey. The main purpose of this survey was to aid us in developing the objectives of our first level of exams. Hundreds of volunteers took time to complete our surveys and help us statistically validate the tasks Linux system administrators do on a daily basis. The results of this survey were used to help us derive the exam objectives we have posted on our web site.
During this time, we wanted to ensure our program met both the needs of the Linux community and the organizations which will employ the successful candidate; therefore, Evan, Chuck Mead and I along with other members of our Corporate Relations Committee built an Advisory Council. This council consists of individuals and organizations who can provide us with the feedback we require. Members of our Advisory Council are part of a private mailing list to which questions are occasionally posted and feedback solicited. Their assistance is sought to help guide the overall direction of the LPI program, as well as in helping solve questions that arise from time to time within the mailing lists where a wider industry perspective may be useful. As a consultative body, the Advisory Council provides input to the LPI Board when it makes decisions related to LPI. In the process of building our Advisory Council, we had very successful meetings, both at trade shows such as LinuxWorld and CeBIT, and also separately with individual people and companies. We announced a large council including representatives from several distributions, Linux International, Linux Journal, UniForum, publishers, information technology companies and others who believe in the need for Linux certification. We appreciate their support and assistance in making our program a reality. Visit our web site (see Resources) for the full listing of our Advisory Council.
Meanwhile, Evan and the Public Relations Committee were collecting names and addresses of reporters and web sites. Evan coordinated our work to regularly distribute news releases publicizing our efforts. His work resulted in a great increase in the number of visits and added participation in our plans.
We also began to work with the System Administrator's Guild (SAGE), a special technical group within USENIX, whose members are working on developing a certification program for UNIX. We shared information about efforts and designated a few individuals to act as liaisons between the programs.
Finally, our Steering Committee began the process of becoming a formal Board of Directors and incorporating as a nonprofit corporation. Our board also began the process of submitting funding proposals to finance the exam development already underway.
By the time you read this, several of our exams should be nearing completion. Yet even as those exams are nearly done, we have many more still to develop. Over 200 people are now on our various mailing lists, and there is no shortage of tasks to complete. Please visit our web site, read about how you can become involved, and join in our efforts to make a strong certification program for Linux.
It has been a wild ride since we began our discussions last fall. We have had vigorous debates and put in some very long hours. Above all, though, our effort has shown the power of many people working together to accomplish a common goal. We've been able to take on large tasks and accomplish them primarily because we could divide the effort between many people. It has truly been a community project which we believe will result in the finest certification program in the information technology industry. We invite you to visit our web site and join with us.
Dan York (firstname.lastname@example.com) is a member of the Board of Directors for the Linux Professional Institute. He has been a technical instructor and training manager within the corporate training industry for nine years and has been working with the Internet and UNIX systems for 13 years. He is also a member of the Certification committee of the Systems Administrators Guild (SAGE—a division of USENIX). He is employed by Linuxcare, Inc., (http://www.linuxcare.com/) to work full-time on helping develop the LPI certification program.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Sustainability Tip
With fuel costs continually inching up, here are some tips that will help you drive more sustainably and save cash at the same time:
- Don't idle. If you're stopping for more than ten seconds - except in traffic, of course - turn off your engine. Idling for more than ten seconds uses more gas than simply restarting your engine.
- Don't speed. As a rule of thumb, you can assume that each 5 mph over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.20 per gallon for gas.
- Travel light and pack smart. Hauling an extra 100 pounds in your vehicle reduces fuel economy by up to 2 percent.
- Keep your engine tuned properly. Checking spark plugs, oxygen sensors, air filters, hoses, and belts are a few examples of maintenance that can save you up to 165 gallons of gas per year, resulting in potential savings of $380.
- Check the tires. Have your wheels aligned and keep your tires properly inflated. Low tire pressure wastes over two million gallons of gasoline in the United States every day.
- Know when to use the air. Air conditioning can decrease your fuel efficiency by as much as 12 percent in stop-and-go traffic, so consider cracking the windows. But at high speeds, driving with the windows open can decrease the overall efficiency of the vehicle.
- If you have a plug-in hybrid or electric car you want to bring, use a charging station. Twelve parking spots equipped with these are available in the South Campus parking structure.

Reorganization and Restructuring in Government presented by Deloitte
The next five to 10 years may represent a once-in-a-generation period of challenges and opportunities for the Federal government. The question isn't whether or not your organization will be affected by the shifts but whether or not your organization will be out in front of them.
Reduced budgets combined with unchanged - or more complex - missions have resulted in increasing workloads, which have sent agencies searching for ways to leverage limited resources while striving to improve mission performance. So, how can agencies reduce inefficiencies and redundancies without significantly impacting their core missions?

Daliah Lavi
Daliah Lavi
Born Daliah Lewinbuk (sometimes spelled Levenbuch) on October 12, 1942, near present-day Haifa, Israel, to a Russian father and a German mother, Daliah Lavi spent the early years of her life on a kibbutz with her parents. It was there, in 1952, where she allegedly met Kirk Douglas, who was in Israel shooting The Juggler. The actor was taken by the girl and arranged for her to study ballet in Sweden, where she got her first taste of acting, landing a small role in the film Hems�borna in 1955. Soon after, however, she moved back to Israel, where she tried her hand at modeling, among other things, and by 1960 her movie career had officially begun. Fluent in several languages, Lavi made herself known across Europe and America, appearing in dozens of film, mostly comedies -- often erotically charged -- including 1963's La Frusta e il Corpo, 1966's The Silencers, and 1967's Bond spoof Casino Royale. In 1969, after performing some songs in Hebrew on Israeli singer Topol's BBC show, Lavi was eventually signed to the German-based Polydor Records, and soon she became a veritable star of the "schlager," or pop song, with hits like "Oh, Wann Kommst Du?" and "Willst Du mit Mir Geh'n?" as well as German-language versions of other popular tracks. Despite the fact that she continued to release the occasional album in the 1980s and '90s, Lavi never regained the fame she had had in her younger years, though she did experience a bit of a resurgence in the 2000s with the issuing of various greatest-hits albums, and J�rgen Paape even sampled her for his song "So Weit Wie Noch Nie" on the Kompakt compilation Total 3. ~ Marisa Brown, Rovi

Title: | Women's Head Coach |
Phone: | 508-793-3626 |
Email: | firstname.lastname@example.com |
Year: | Fifth Season |
College: | Clark, 1998 |
Lisa Meola enters her fifth season as the women's tennis head coach at the College of the Holy Cross in 2013-2014.
In 2012-2013, the Crusaders finished with a 5-10 overall record, which included a 2-0 fall slate and a second place finish in the Salve Regina Doubles Invitational. Jessica DeSimone was named to the Academic All-Patriot League team for the third time in her career, becoming the only PL women's tennis player to win the award all three times since its inception during the 2010-2011 season. Five student-athletes were named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll.
Her squad went 11-5 in 2011-2012, posting the program's most victories since the 2008-2009 team that went 10-8. The Crusaders won six straight matches during the course of the season, the longest win streak for the team in over six years. Emily Marr was named the Patriot League women's tennis Scholar Athlete of the Year, becoming the first Crusader to earn the honor. Marr and DeSimone were also named to the Patriot League All-Academic team.
During the 2010-2011 campaign, Meola had five student-athletes named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll. Two players, Marr and DeSimone, were also named to the inaugural Academic All-Patriot League team.
No stranger to Holy Cross, Meola was the assistant tennis coach during the 2008-2009 season. Prior to her tenure at Holy Cross, Meola was head coach of the Notre Dame Academy (Mass.) women's tennis team for seven seasons. While there, she compiled an overall record of 137-7 and coached the squad to three consecutive Division II State championships.
Meola began her coaching career in 2004, where she coached the Clark tennis teams. She also has experience as a tennis instructor at the Paxton Sports Centre in Paxton, Mass. A 1998 graduate of Clark, Meola received her educational provisional certificate in 2001 and her master's degree in education from Boston University in 2011. She currently resides in Holden, Mass.

Celebrating the season with song
Canton, NY, Dec 21, 2011 — Traditional Arts in Upstate New York, TAUNY, organized a couple of caroling parties again this month in Canton.

Mass (Data) Appeal
UX Strategy & UI Design
THE NEED: Travel software giant, TRX, created a cost analysis tool for small to mid-sized businesses. Thom was assigned to guide the UX strategy, create standardization documentation, and design the user interface.
THE RESULT: Working with a talented set of business analysts, statistics experts, and a handful of innovative ASP/Flex/.Net developers, Thom focused the online application's UX around filtering massive amounts of data in a matter of seconds. The UI design is easy, beautiful and touch-friendly, ready for tablet use, which inspired interface adjustments for lateral products.
Mapping New Territory for a Classic Game
Strategic Creative Consultation, Conceptualization & Evangelism
THE NEED: Geocaching is a high-tech adventure game with a stash of 2 million hidden containers all around in the world. Thom was commissioned to address the complex UI and UX issues they were facing, as well as create an updated game experience for a new kind of player.
THE RESULT: Working closely with the executive and senior management team, Thom helped identify the fundamentals for the much needed expansion of the game which targets the next generation of their audience. Focusing on holistic experience design, Thom set the direction of a new mobile app and its overarching game experience. He also helped to shift the organization's growth mindset through internal evangelism with the creative and development teams.
Hop to a Different Beat
Interactive Strategy, Website Design & Photography
THE NEED:Emerging hip hop artist, Azizi Major, needed an innovative and engaging online mechanism to launch and sell his debut album and gain attention. The challenge was to create something that stood out from the clutter in a saturated urban music scene.
THE RESULT: Thom and his team developed an interactive Website experience that engaged visitors and invited them to linger. Users could listen to the entire album, while on the site and were able to purchase digital versions from a variety of online resellers. View the archive site at AziziMusic.com
Each screen provided a uniquely photographed and animated scene that represents each song. In fact, the "Let's Get It" image was runner-up for the iStock Design of the Year award for it's extensive compositing of custom stills with stock photography.

THE NEED: Jamarie is in the business of helping her clients make memorable first impressions. So, when speaking to a variety of large audiences and clients, she requires a presentation template that delivers a visually-rich statement.
THE RESULT: After sketching out ideas and setting a brand direction, a photo session was scheduled to capture Jamarie. Each image was strategically shot so that she can equally deliver a message to her audience and clients, while her presence remains top of mind.
The imagery flows seamlessly with the animation on each slide. The focus and attention to detail in all aspects of the deliverables, as well as Jamarie's speaking style, helps her to win over audiences, gain clients and expand her following.

Identity & Brand Design
Thom has designed the identity for many brands over the past two decades.
Pro Bono for a Clever PSA
Interactive Microsite & Photography
THE NEED: Did you know lung cancer is the number two killer in the United States? This shocking statistic needed a serious awareness campaign with a twist that would grab the viewer's attention. Thom teamed with top industry creatives to create an online presence which emulates the top hit club song (at that time), Hotel Room Service by Pitbull.
THE RESULT: The goal was to create a one-page microsite to raise awareness about lung cancer. The marketing geniuses at Marketzero created the Dr. Lung Love character and overarching idea, the talented Raygun shot the music video, and Thom and his team were responsible for the photography, Website design and interactive development.

How Innovative UX Thinking May Solve the Inefficiencies of Display Advertising
Do ads interfere with the UX of Websites? Will an ad convert better if it complements or distracts from content? Can an ad add value to a site? Is it possible to build a better user experience around the complex struggle between grabbing attention and delivering value?
Thom discusses answers to these questions and sets the framework of a conversation that is open to the room.

Five reasons to love Marty Turco
By the look of a lot of Bruins fans' reaction, most people were expecting the Bruins would recall Khudobin or Hutchinson from Providence to replace Tuukka Rask. Instead, we got the surprise signing of Marty Turco. People don't seem pleased. Or maybe they were just shocked that Marty Turco was still playing hockey somewhere. But when Khudobin's injured and Hutch is green as a grasshopper, alternative options weren't really there. I, personally, was hoping for the return of England's greatest netminder Byron Dafoe.
If nothing else, this Rask injury is just ending the Tuukka/Thomas playoff debate early.
But now that the initial Turco-signing surprise has faded, Bruins fans should be stoked to have Mr. Turc Turcoton on the squad. The guy's guy class, humor and more.
After the jump, five reasons for Bruins fans to love Marty Turco:
He's fan driven
One thing we really hate is the lack of fan relations from the Boston Bruins. Yea, the Bs have "fan relation" people but their fan relation program is pretty lacking. Luckily, when Turco's not giving Timmy a breather or sharpening his skates, he can be interacting with the fans and making bets with Habs fans.
He's not afraid to play a little dirty against Vancouver
Someone buy Turco a Bruins World Order t-shirt because he was trolling/cheapshotting Vancouver before Brad "The Predator" Marchand.
To be fair, the Canucks also ran him into the boards once. Wonder if there was outrage to get Darcy Hordichuck suspended for life like with Lucic. Probably not.
Turco doesn't shy away from the physical side of hockey either, unlike some goalies.
Like everyone else, Turco hates Pierre McGuire
Video says it all, really.
He's not afraid to speak his mind
Chicago sucks. Turco knew this right away.
He's a prankster
Man... imagine the trouble Turco and Marchand could get into together.
Props to Steph and her blog It's a Neutral Zone Trap for reminding us of Turco's fun side.
Go Bruins!

[For the situation see Rephidim] The name is also given to Kadesh, (Numbers 20:13,24; 27:14; 32:51) (Meribah-kadesh), because there also the people, when in want of water, strove with God.

THE VOLANTE, -------------------- VERMILLION, SOUTH DAKOTA. -------------------- Published monthly by the Students' Assoclation of the University of Dakota. -------------------- -------------------- BOARD OF EDITORS: E.

BOGGS, Business Manager. H. D. WRIGHT, Assistant Business Managers. C. H. AYES, -------------------- -------------------- EDITORIAL. -------------------- HONESTY THE BEST POLICY. The representative of Nebraska at the Interstate Oratorical Contest held in Lincoln, May 1st, was ruled out en the charge plagiarism. Whether the charge is just or not we have no way of ascertaining; yet we can see that "the way of the transgresser is hard." For the sake of victory this student, G. O. Fergerson, of the Wesleyan University of Lincoln, Neb., laid aside his own honor and dignity and descended to the rank of the thief. From the result we may read a warning against dishonesty manifested in the way of plagiarism. What is plagiarism? There are various opinions about it. According to some persons, one cannot use a form of argument or imitate a gesture but that the charge of theft is incurred. Everything must be "original;" even if the whole effect of the production be sacrificed to that end. This view may be safely condemned; yet no tolerance should be had for the other extreme. To a certain extent we must imitate and beyond that we ought to be original. At any rate the city of Lincoln holds one student at least who has learned this lesson. From the grand position of standard bearer of the state of Nebraska in one of the best contests between the Western states, he has fallen to the humiliating disgrace of being in everybody's mouth — a synonyme of dishonor and disgrace. The experience is not inviting. Few care to share it. Yet while heaping condemnation upon one so signally faulty, we might mention some things in our own school. True no rank plagiarisms have been committed; yet there are little thefts which are proportionally as bad. Is it much worse to steal an eloquent per-oration than to change the names and geographical location of a story and thus produce an "original" sketch; or to change a poem to suit new conditions and thus get the credit of possessing true poetic frenzy? It must rest hard on the conscience to steal apples or horses, but it certainly is but little less criminal to steal passages of classic English for an oration or to copy ones grand "efforts" from back numbers of magazines. -------------------- MILITARY RULE VS. DEMOCRACY. It is rumored that the republican form of government in West Hall must soon succumb to the inevitable; or in other words, that that building will next year come under the control of an officer of the U. S. Army, who will

Comments: I've owned two Red Sea ozonizers in the past and after the warranty expires, there is no repair service anywhere!!! Their office in Houston, TX says to take the unit to your local aquarium store. I've yet to find anyone, including online searches, who repairs these units. So, I would advise not to buy this brand if you plan to use it more than a year.
Comments: Conked in the first 2 months. bought an Ozotech instead.
Thank you for taking the time to review our products.

I was so excited about the fabric scrap wreaths that I made for Molly's and Addison's birthdays that I wanted to make one for Halloween, too. My mom ran to Hobby Lobby for me to grab some black, orange, lime and purple fabrics and I worked on the wreath for a bit at a time a few nights last week.
This is the final result:
These wreaths are super easy and can be pretty inexpensive if you can find cute fabric at a place like Hobby Lobby. I just might have to make a fabric wreath for every holiday. {Then we'd have to figure out where to store them…}
Have you been crafty this week? Did you make anything for Halloween?
Yes, that's my purple dining room wall! I LOVE that room and will always have a purple dining room. It was inspired by my Nana's china, which lives happily in my china cabinet.
