The Year in Ipreo
2014 was a big year for Ipreo. We changed hands, added some new members of the family, hit a few milestones and welcomed some new faces. As the end of the month approaches and we all settle into 2015, the Ipreo Blog wanted to share just a few of the many exciting things that impacted us over the past year.
In August, we announced the completion of our acquisition by private equity funds managed by Blackstone and by the Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division. "We are excited to partner with Blackstone, Goldman Sachs and KKR in our next phase of development," said Scott Ganeles, Chief Executive Officer of Ipreo. "Our new investors bring a complementary set of experience, relationships, and in-market expertise that will help support the growth of the business and will allow us to provide our customers with accelerated access to new market-leading products."
Ipreo has long seen an opportunity in the Alternative Assets/Venture Capital/Private Equity space. As the premier provider of solutions that support investor relations workflow and the capital-raising process around new-issuances (e.g. new equity assets like IPOs, new debt offerings, etc), expanding our footprint to include pre-public companies and their financial sponsors is a logical extension of our offering. In late 2014, we were able to acquire two companies to help forge our way.
The first was Shareholder InSite (SI), the definitive leader in valuation services to the Alternative Assets marketplace. SI's strong management team, deep industry expertise, and excellent reputation with clients make it an ideal foundation from which to launch Ipreo's new Alternative Assets vertical, which is led by Shareholder InSite's Joe Maxwell and Brett Suchor.
Expansion of the Alternatives vertical following quickly with the acquisition of ClearMomentum, whose monitoring solutions are highly complementary to SI's valuation solution. The marketplace has already strongly indicated that the combination of Shareholder Insite's and ClearMomentum's solutions will be a powerful and highly valuable integrated offering.
Executive Additions
Ipreo welcomed new faces to our executive team. In addition to Shareholder InSite's CEO Joe Maxwell, we also brought in Agnies Watson as Ipreo's new head of Corporate Workflow Solutions. Agnies's 20 years of global financial services experience will serve her well in her role, in which she'll be responsible for the management and continued development of the firm's suite of Corporate Workflow Solutions, which includes its BD Corporate platform, and integrated solution that combines the industry's most robust institutional data with intuitive IR workflow tools focused on managing and communicating with investors.
Meanwhile, down south, our Raleigh office continued to grow, approaching nearly 200 employees by year-end, and we welcomed a new office across the ocean in Frankfurt, bringing Ipreo's presence up to 14 locations around the globe, not including satellite offices.
Products and Services News
Ipreo's various business lines reached significant milestones in 2014. Here are a few of the most notable:
IssueNet, which provides a syndicate-to-syndicate communications platform for the Fixed Income primary new-issue market, reached 100 member banks in November. Launched in 2003 by London-based Marketpipe Ltd (which was acquired by Ipreo in 2006) with the backing of ICMA and a consortium of 18 investment banks, IssueNet is now the market standard for running fixed-income new issues, running more than 80% of global euro issuance. This past year also saw the successful implementation of IssueNet APAC and launch of IssueNet Americas.
Discovery Data, within the Global Asset & Wealth Management Division of Ipreo, saw the release of a fully automated data integration app, Discovery DataLink, for Salesforce.com, greeted nearly 1,000 new subscribers to their flagship service, and had 145 million data fields updated or verified throughout the year, including 316,000 professionals and 3,500 firms added, and 325,000 email addresses populated.
We also launched RoadShowAccess, a web-based solution that automates, simplifies and enhances all elements of virtual management presentation logistics and viewing, in connection with new-issuance marketing across equity, fixed income and U.S. municipal bonds. With over 50 deals executed since inception, RoadshowAccess is quickly becoming a "household" name for banks to create and host virtual presentations given its sleek design and unparalleled functionality. Notably, RoadshowAccess has touched every asset class, deal type and region across all menu options.
Our Mobile team was busy as well! Continuing our commitment to providing an unparalleled user experience via constant innovation, we introduced and enhanced the mobile versions of our BD Corporate, BD Vision and BD Advanced applications, which are available across all Apple and Android devices. The BD Mobile apps give Research, Sales and Trading and other capital markets professionals all of the essential data and tools they need on the road to pull up profiles on their investor clients and prospects, schedule and map meetings, and log interactions in real time.
In their ongoing effort to meet the needs of both the municipal market and dealers, Ipreo's Municipal Team launched a variety of exciting new features in 2014, including online Sales Designation Entry directly from the Allotment, and the integration of MMD yield curves within the Scale page. In addition to these and other enhancements, the Muni team supported a huge amount of new issuance throughout 2014, with many deals over $1 billion, including State of California, Texas Transportation Commission, Dormitory Authority of the State of New York, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, City of New York, City of Los Angeles, among others. In total, over $320 billion in bonds were issued on 9,630 deals.
2014 was an eventful year for Ipreo, and we're expecting more of the same in 2015. Check back in with the Ipreo Blog to stay abreast of the latest happenings here and within the industry!

Vermorel, Fred (2011) Biography & identity, celebrity & fanhood: researching intersections of avant-garde and popular culture. (PhD thesis), Kingston University, uk.bl.ethos.548183.Full text not available from this archive.
This PhD by publication critically reviews the background, context, and reception of work published from 1978-2008. The work surveyed, comprises popular music biography, texts on art school influenced bohemia and counterculture, and on celebrity and fan culture. The social and cultural context of the work is mapped and methodological and stylistic issues addressed. The origins of the punk aesthetic through the Sex Pistols is charted. The turn in celebrity studies towards a "fan culture" based approach is demonstrated by the publication of 'Starlust' in 1985. Subsequent work on "fan culture" is discussed. Issues relating to researching and theorising popular culture and cultural and design history are debated. Extracts from the publications cited are provided.

Founded in 1986, Bakery de France has long been famous for its high quality breads. It began as a small local operation in the diverse Washington, DC area, serving mainly hotels and restaurants. They wanted to start selling their products at supermarkets and to do that, they needed a logo that connected with their customers.
This design is simple and elegant. The golden wheat icon also feels flame-like, that is intended to make you think of a warm, freshly baked bread that just came out of the oven.
Fresh, bright color palette and imagery make this product stand out behind the freezer case door. The still life of fruit communicates the flavor and healthily nature of Florida's Naturals Fruit Pearls.
Beaver Street Fisheries is a leading importer, manufacturer and distributor of quality frozen seafood products from the USA and around the world. The sell their products to hotels and restaurants, as well as straight to consumers under the Sea Best brand. I also redesign their packaging.
For their corporate logo, I wanted to create something that was simple and iconic; by reducing using the BSF acronym I was able to do just that. The light to dark blue gradient represents the ocean, and if you look closely, you can find fish swimming within the negative space of the letters.
I was asked to create several point of sale pieces for Aramark's summer promotion, all while working within the Snapple brand guidelines.
Melissa started her bee apiary in her backyard in an attempt to save the local honey bees dying from Colony Collapse Disorder. Turns out, she loves what she does and wanted to share that with people. Her plan was to sell her wild, raw honey at local shops and small boutiques. And to do that she needed a logo and package design.
Sweet Melissa is such a great name for honey and it deserves a logo that is unique. The E's have been replaced by the stylized art that makes up the bee's body. When the shapes are separated from the bee graphic they resemble a bee hive, and this helps make the layout one interconnected, cohesive design.
This project was to create a logo and a business card design for a digital strategist. He comes to me and says: "Hey baby, can you make me a logo?". Now before you get the wrong idea I should mention, he's not just any digital strategist, he's my husband.
If you know anything about how difficult it is to design something for yourself, the same thing applies to making something for your significant other. When you are designing you want to encapsulate everything you know about that person or business into a clear, cohesive message. Sometimes it is difficult to do when you have so much information to work from. So I started with the basics: he likes orange, asymmetry drives him bonkers, he likes likes simple and modern designs, he's a great balance of professional and fun. He is also a photographer, so I wanted a logo that is versatile so it be used in both applications. With all of that in mind, I started playing with his initials. With a bit of trial and error we netted out with a simple and balanced mark. The business card layout is playing off the logo that can be read from both directions.
One of my clients has a friend who lost her daughter to a automobile accident and started a Memorial Foundation in her name. I was asked to create an invitation for their annual Silent Auction event using their established logo.
Things to note about the design:
The banner wrapping around the logo is meant to convey the feeling of being hugged; the tail of the logo comes forward to make the heart shape more visible which conveys love.
A custom pattern for the background was made by repeating the butterfly in the logo.
The bottom of the logo gracefully leads to the event details.

Greg Cote: Miami Dolphins need consistent success to turn hope into belief
The NFL's coach of the week and Miami's man of the minute has arrived. Dan Campbell machos as much as marches into the interview room Monday at Dolphins camp, setting his feet wide behind the lectern as if bracing himself to repel an oncoming attack. He is all but dripping testosterone. Veins bulge from his forearms. He leads the league in calf muscles. His goatee is ready to pick a fight.
Campbell earned a Gatorade bath and a game ball for his Sunday debut as the team's interim head coach after Miami won easily at Tennessee, 38-10. With impressive restraint his players eschewed carrying him off the field on their shoulders, which might have been seen as showy. Likewise I might suggest holding off at least another week on the bronze statue.
Happy day is here again.
Let's keep the word singular for now.
The plural must be earned.
What did Sunday mean? What is the victory's larger effect?
"We're able to hope again," Campbell answered. "After that win you can start to believe."
I wasn't certain if with "we" and "you" the coach was referring to his players or to Dolfans. The message applies to both, but the key word in it is clear. Start. You can start to believe, fans, but you have been burned and let down too often to not demand more proof. Around here, one does not jump on the bandwagon. One steps warily onto it, never quite trusting where it is headed, or who's driving.
Sunday was a great day for hope, yes, and yet the little realist on your shoulder is whispering how the Titans aren't very good and had a rookie quarterback and had lost seven straight home games.
The realist is telling you Miami must now beat visiting Houston this coming Sunday and then keep winning against an escalating schedule to keep the improving and the proving going on. After the Texans it's three straight road games at New England, Buffalo and Philadelphia, then Dallas here in what could be Tony Romo's comeback game, then at the Jets.
The Dolphins will need every bit of the team that showed up Sunday in Nashville to keep that proof coming and actually make a run at the playoffs.
Campbell's newly awakened "sleeping giant" can afford no naps, no narcolepsy.
The coach knows it.
"The challenge for these guys is not to start patting each other on the back," he said. "We've been notorious around here for that. We get a big win and then there's a lull."
Being cautious and demanding sustained proof is not me raining on any parade.
It's me telling you the parade isn't here yet.
Sunday's game put out flyers that it's coming, but it is still a ways away. You have to cock your ear to discern the calliope music you think you faintly hear.
Stevie Wonder had a big mid-'70s hit called You Haven't Done Nothin' — a song so good we'll forgive him the double negative in the title.
Sunday was not nothing for the Dolphins, but it wasn't enough, either. It was big, by itself, but it must prove to have been the start of something big.
A franchise that hasn't won a playoff game since the 2000 season and has appeared in only two since has invited the calloused skepticism. It has forfeited its right to benefit of doubt and must earn that back.
The hope that Jimmy Johnson and then Nick Saban brought with them here amounted to nothing. The playoff tease of 2008 amounted to nothing. The "Wildcat" offensive wrinkle that was all the rage in 2010 amounted to nothing. That 3-0 start in 2013 amounted to nothing.
Now — exhilarating as Sunday's 38-10 win is — the arrival of Ndamukong Suh and all of the other upgrades have amounted to a 2-3 record moving forward in what suddenly feels like the NFL's toughest division, an AFC East in which the Patriots, Jets and Bills are a combined 12-4.
No Dolfan should be so hardened or cynical that he or she cannot enjoy what Sunday felt like and store that hope in the tank like high-octane fuel.
Around here, though, belief comes harder than hope.
Even the most encouraged Dolphins fans have the right to hook a thumb back at Sunday's performance and make a simple demand of their team:
More of that, please.
A lot more.

Greek salads have always been one of our dietary defaults. So much so, that we've decided it's time to spruce it up a bit. Rather than using the traditional chopped lettuce base that we're accustomed to, we ditched the lettuce entirely and replaced it with spiralized cucumber noodles. If zucchini and squash can do it, why can't cucumbers!? Try the recipe below for a new spin on your favorite classic.
Ingredients (serves 1):
- 1 large cucumber
- 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup yellow onions, diced
- 5 Kalamata olives, halved
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese
- Dill (to taste)
- Thyme (about 2 pinches)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- Wash cucumber and slice off both ends, flatly and evenly. Halve cucumber and send through spiralizer. Place cucumber noodles in bowl.
- Add tomatoes, onions, and olives to bowl. Add thyme and dill. Mix together so all ingredients appear evenly distributed.
- Add feta on top.
- Enjoy!

I've never had a Christmas tree. And I've never decorated my house with lights.
Growing up, there was only one house that decorated on our block. It was just how it was in 21208 those days.
I did get to see lights every year, though. We'd all load up in the car and my dad would drive us to Towson or Timonium or someplace out that way so we could drive through the beautifully lit neighborhoods. It took my breath away. The cold air and the sparkly lights. It was so peaceful. So pretty.
I know that there's more to Christmas than shopping and commercials and incessant emails trying to get everyone to buy more stuff. I know that the holiday has deep meaning for so many. I just feel lucky that I get to enjoy the sparkly bits. Thanks for sharing. Really, I mean it.
And though Christmas is not my holiday, I do have two Christmas memories to share.
In college, a friend invited me to his parents' house for dinner and to decorate the tree. I could barely wait. He and his parents were shocked that it was my first time. (They evidently didn't know a lot of Jews.) I'll never forget how they gingerly laid out the ornaments and chose the placement of each one so carefully. It was really sweet. It was clearly a special family time and though it was lovely to be included, I felt like an intruder. An outsider. Interloper. But here I am, more than 30 years later and I can picture the generations-old red and white painted santa on a sled that I was honored to put as the finishing touch on the tree. I can remember exactly how that made me feel.
And I remember that when my friend's father died a few weeks later that I couldn't shake the fact that they'd never have Christmas together again.
A few years later, I worked in a big advertising agency and had a wonderful friend and co-worker there. I was young and single. She was a couple years older and married. She and her husband had been through a terrible time; they'd had an overwhelming loss. The stress it had put on the relationship was more than they could handle and he'd moved out. But before he did, he'd smashed their Christmas ornaments in spite. The ornaments that they'd bought for each other every year they'd been together – each precious one carefully and meaningfully selected. Smashed.
And if that isn't sad enough (and I'm tearing up remembering her face as she recounted the story), when they got back together, all that lovely history was gone. I wondered if she'd ever forgive him for that part. I'm not sure if she ever did.
Symbols are just symbols, right? Traditions are just traditions. But we attach so much to the traditions and symbols in our lives that it's hard to separate the things from the people from the memories.
And that's why I love seeing the shiny Christmas lights. The sparkle of it all brings back the time in the back of my parents' car and the adventure and the cold and the wonder.

Cornell University's Johnson School of Management is seriously rethinking the MBA.
Starting this May, the school will launch a one-year MBA program at its New York tech campus that aims to bridge the gap between tech skills and management ability. If the program proves effective, it could reshape the way leaders emerge in the tech industry.
"The goal is to produce leaders for the digital economy," says Doug Stayman, the associate dean of MBA programs at Johnson. "Organizations desperately need people who are true leaders but also understand the business needs and the technical needs."
To accomplish that goal, the program hopes to break down a longstanding barrier between the tech community and business school grads. Experts say that startups are often reluctant to hire the average MBA, whose skills they see as unsuited for the culture and work of their companies.
The MBA was developed in the mid-20th century and designed to prepare students for work in a specific type of company, explains Stayman. It was a lynchpin for places like Procter & Gamble and McKinsey — big companies known for their thorough approaches to analyzing data, solving problems, and implementing solutions.
But business grads trained in those skills aren't usually the candidates tech startups are looking for. "These things are not just content, they're cultural," Stayman says of the divide. More often than not, he explains, startups see the MBA style of thinking as clashing with their approach and culture.
To address that, Cornell consulted startups and tech companies when drawing up plans for its new degree, the Wall Street Journal reported. The program will mix classroom learning with a heavy dose of hands-on, entrepreneurial skills and experience. Students will learn skills valued by today's startups, such as consumer insights, planning, and product development.
So far, the program has more than 70 applicants for a target class of 35 to 40 people. The degree's hefty price tag, while not finalized, is expected to run in the low $90,000 range. By comparison, two-year tuition tends to cost between $100,000 and $120,000 for most top-10 business school programs. Stayman says the program will offer some merit-based financial aid, and he also expects a number of students will be sponsored by companies and employers.
Despite its tech-business focus, graduates aren't exclusively meant to work for startups. Stayman sees it as an open-ended certification. On the one hand, it could help the business-minded cross into tech, but on the other, it could give students an inroad to traditional management jobs.
"We want them to go to places who hire MBAs — to Deloitte, to Amazon, and to other recruiters who hire MBAs — but also to people who don't traditionally hire MBAs," Stayman said.

I was lucky enough to work at an event that took me over to Las Vegas and then on to the beautiful Mountain Sky ranch near Bozeman in Montana. High and on the edge of the Rocky Mountains, the state is roughly the size of Germany but with a population of just 3 million. I don't think I have ever been anywhere so ruggedly beautiful; the weather would change constantly, depending on height, valley, time of day, one moment closing down in a mist of rain and the next opening up dramatic vistas with rays of hot sunshine; the air always held an intoxicating scent of wet grass and wild sage. This is horse country of course and I had to quickly brush up some some long-forgotten childhood skills and get back in the saddle, with the additional handicap of cameras, lenses and rain. Around the periphery of my work, I tried to build a small portfolio of images as a personal view of this wonderful part of the world and the great team at Mountain Sky. I printed the photos in a small leather album with Tintoretto art paper by Queensberry. My aim for the future with this one? To go back, take more pictures and make a bigger book, bound in saddle leather!
Winter doesn't have to be a non-starter for location photography. In fact, the flat light and low sun (if it's around) can often be used to advantage. I usually get everyone to have a good run-around to warm up and keep any goose bumps at bay. I caught up with this lovely family again after doing a shoot for them in London about ten years ago. They had since spent time in the far east and the oriental terracotta figure made a great prop! The snowdrops were just appearing in the garden of their new home in the country and there was an out house with lovely top shade, as well as a fine old tree for a back drop - plenty to work with on a flat February day. Queensberry made a beautiful black leather matted album.
The phone is so often the one camera to hand. I like to use it as a kind of spontaneous sketch book, usually playing with a creative app like Hipstamatic, which gives these saturated, analogue style pictures. There is quite a trend in applying these filters to give a film-like or darkroom finish, even within professional software. I happen to love it but I still find it curious that in this connected age we hark back to haphazard processes usually associated with printing, when barely a single one of our images will ever come to touch paper. In fact, I wonder how many of our phone images will ever see light of day anywhere outside of the world of social media. A couple of years ago I carried out a small experiment and made an album of photos taken just on my iPhone 4. I also made some prints on fine art paper and the results from both were revealing; in fact, they were fabulous. The phone really is our greatest go-anywhere photographic tool.
Languid, late summer afternoons in Hampshire and how better to capture the mood than down by the River Meon with this gorgeous shoot. This is the very essence of a family photo session, an unrepeatable moment in time where youth, beauty and innocence collide. The client made a special framed collage for each daughter and the book is a Queensberry Duo album with pearl buckram cover.
I love this take on the family album, a beautiful press printed photo book with fine art paper bound in a sky blue cotton cover and matching case, still effective but perhaps without the formality of the traditional album. This was my second shoot for the family and we spent a fun autumn morning out on Primrose Hill, adding to the pictures captured in the same place two years previously. I hope we can do another similar shoot next year and then we'll have made a book for each child for later in life. Isn't this what it's all about?
To the beach! A summer holiday cry the world over. Here, near the south coast we are lucky that this doesn't need much in the way of planning - in this case a short hop to Lymington to pick up a rib and then a quick wind in the hair blast to a favourite spot by Hurst Castle. What is it about the sea that lifts the spirits? Why is the seaside so associated with childhood? Looking back at our own family albums nothing evokes such a feeling of nostalgia as those back views of our children atop a mound of sand, looking out to the horizon as the incoming tide begins to swirl around their castle. This shoot was all about the lovely south coast light, burning off some energy and generally having a bit of fun.

Veteran Volquez facing tough odds after second Tommy John surgery
Edinson Volquez made his way back to the mound after his first Tommy John surgery in 2009. But after undergoing the same procedure for a second time on Friday, the future is less certain for the Marlins' 34-year-old pitching veteran.
According to a 2015 medical study, the success rate isn't as encouraging for pitchers who have Tommy John a second time. And those pitchers who manage to make it back aren't as effective as they were previously.
"Although a second surgery may not be career-ending, it appears to be career-limiting by virtue of a decreased workload and pitching productivity," said Dr. Vasilio Moutzouros, an orthopedic surgeon who was involved in a Henry Ford Hospital study that examined pitchers who had Tommy John.
While about 75 percent of all major-league pitchers who have elbow ligament replacement surgery are able to pitch again, the figure drops to about 65 percent for those who require it a second time.
The Henry Ford study showed that walk rates escalated for second-time surgery recipients, while innings pitched declined by about half compared to those who had Tommy John performed once.
"And for those who return to the major-league level, they experience a mixed bag of performance levels," Moutzouros said. "In several categories, their performance declines significantly."
Volquez isn't a young pitcher, either.
"And then he's a little older, too," Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. "So it puts him in a different spot."
Ex-Marlins pitcher Josh Johnson never made it back after having Tommy John a second time, and even had the procedure done a third time, to no avail. Jarrod Parker, a promising young starter for the Athletics in 2012 and '13 when he won 13 and 12 games, respectively, didn't make it back, either.
Relievers have had better luck. Shawn Kelley, Joakim Soria, Brian Wilson and Chris Capuano made successful returns after having the surgery performed a second time. Relieving is something that Volquez might have to consider.
"Some relievers come back sooner, so that might be something to look at as well [with Volquez]," Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill said.
Whatever the role, there's a strong chance that Volquez might not pitch again for the Marlins. The typical recovery time is 12 to 14 months. Volquez, who signed a two-year, $22 million contract last winter, has one year remaining on a deal that calls for him to make $13 next season.
"We know what the rehab is for Tommy John, a minimum of 12 months," Hill said. "He's a veteran. He's been through injuries before. But it's hard to speculate when he'll be back."
While the Marlins reported that Friday's surgery "went well," Volquez faces long months ahead of working his arm back into shape.
"Whenever you get cut on, there's risk," Hill said. "We're hopeful he comes through it OK and the rehab goes well to get him back and have him, hopefully, healthy."
Nobody knows what the future holds for Volquez.
"There's been pitchers who have had two [surgeries] and come back and pitch," Hill said. "[But] the numbers are what they are."
▪ Saturday: Marlins RHP Dan Straily (7-7, 3.79 ERA) at Atlanta Braves RHP Mike Foltynewicz (9-6, 4.08), 7:10 p.m., SunTrust Park.
▪ Sunday: Marlins RHP Jose Urena (9-5, 3.82) at Braves RHP Lucas Sims (0-1, 4.50), 1:35 p.m., SunTrust Park.

Phoenix lander weak but still communicating from Mars
Posted: November 3, 2008
PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander has communicated with controllers daily since Oct. 30 through relays to Mars orbiters. Information received over the weekend indicates Phoenix is running out of power each afternoon or evening but reawakening after its solar arrays catch morning sunlight.
"This is exactly the scenario we expected for the mission's final phase, though the dust storm brought it a couple weeks sooner than we had hoped," said Phoenix Project Manager Barry Goldstein of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "We will be trying to gain some additional science during however many days we have left. Any day could be our last."
Mission engineers at JPL and at Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, are attempting this week to upload commands to be stored in the lander's flash memory for science activities to be conducted when the lander wakes up each day.
"Weather observations are our top priority now," said Phoenix Principal Investigator Peter Smith. "If there's enough energy, we will try to get readings from the conductivity probe that has been inserted into the soil, and possibly some images to assess frost buildup."
Phoenix landed on Mars May 25. It accomplished its main science goals during the three months originally planned as its prime mission, then continued operating, now in its sixth month.
The Phoenix mission is led by Peter Smith of the University of Arizona, Tucson, with project management at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and development partnership at Lockheed Martin, Denver. International contributions come from the Canadian Space Agency; the University of Neuchatel, Switzerland; the universities of Copenhagen and Aarhus in Denmark; the Max Planck Institute in Germany; the Finnish Meteorological Institute; and Imperial College, London. The California Institute of Technology in Pasadena manages JPL for NASA.

Rogue self-publishers have been stuffing the comics sections of the Nook and Kindle online stores with an entirely different kind of graphic novel, turning Barnes & Noble's flagship device briefly into a "Nookie Tablet."
It's a rule of the Internet. Stop editing and moderating, just for a minute, and everything will turn to porn and spam. That seems to have happened on the Nook, and, to a lesser extent, the Kindle.
Self-publishing has turned bookstore shelves from "seller cares" to "buyer beware," with apparently no guarantees of quality or even that the content is what it says it is. With Barnes & Noble and Amazon apparently abdicating any preemptive editorial control, it's now a free-for-all online.
Looking for recent issues of Eric Shanower's award-winning Oz series on the Nook this weekend, I turned up a trove of XXX-men freely mixed in with the single-X variety. A hardcore "submissive erotica rape fantasy" was cuddled up right next to "The Last Unicorn" in Barnes & Noble's best-seller list.
What's worse is that a lot of the porn wasn't even comics; the graphic novel department had become a dumping-ground for ad-hoc collections of ripped-off hardcore JPGs and erotica with titles like "Attack From Behind!"
The Amazon Kindle Fire had less of a problem, but it's still there. Disturbingly, the number-one "comic" in the Kindle Fire's "Comics & Graphic Novels" department on Monday was a text-only chunk of erotica titled "Chili Peppers," which is indeed a graphic novel, but not the kind you'd be looking for in that section. (By Tuesday, it had dropped to number five.)
The Nook porn vanished as soon as I asked Barnes & Noble about it. They acknowledged it shouldn't have been there, and said self-publishers using their PubIt! Digital platform can simply pick whatever section in which they want their books to appear.
But Barnes & Noble would never let this kind of mis-shelving occur in its brick and mortar stores. Why should the online store be any different? Just because you have infinite shelf space doesn't mean the shelves must be poorly arranged.
Amazon did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
(Check out our best, entirely non-porny Nook Tablet apps in the slideshow above.)
How A Poor Selection Enables Porn Selection
Barnes & Noble tried to frame this as a First Amendment issue, but the answer isn't all or nothing. I'm not calling for porn to be removed from online bookstores just that it not appear by surprise, mixed in with the non-porn.
Barnes & Noble cautions that only adults should use its e-readers, because there are apparently no parental controls to filter this stuff. The company defends adult content as something adults should be able to read, and the company is right. But where to shelve your porn is completely under the e-bookstores' control, and it doesn't stop anyone who actually wants the porn from reading it.
Even porn publishers advocate parental controls and proper shelving. They know that if you're looking for porn, you're looking for porn, and if you're looking in the general interest section, you're probably not looking for porn.
It wouldn't hurt anyone, and it would help a lot of people, to put the porn in a special adult section of the bookstore rather than mixing it in with all and sundry. That's how every brick-and-mortar bookstore in the world works, including my local comics shop.
I'm assuming that there's porn scattered all around the e-book stores, just like there are porn podcasts hiding in the iTunes Store. But it's particularly visible in the comics section because Barnes & Noble's selection of comics is so poor. With relatively few compelling titles, the porn bubbles up to the top. That's a pity, because the comics-reading experience on the Nook is excellent. There just aren't many comics to read.
Most everything you'd want in a great comics store is missing. Instead, there's a weak collection of Marvel graphic novels, relatively obscure manga, self-published stuff, and some scans of old 1950s comics, along with a few gems like Vera Brosgol's "Anya's Ghost." It's hard to tell because the store isn't properly arranged by publisher as they are in most real comics stores. It's just a jumble.
The Kindle's editor-selected "Comic Books" store only has high-quality, non-porn stuff among its 108 graphic novels. Amazon's store also has a broader array of comics in general: 3,925 entries to the Nook's 977. But if you drill down to the full selection of "Comics & Graphic Novels," you'll still get text-only erotica in the top 10.
Editors Matter
This is all part of a disturbing, lazy trend to think that "on the Internet" means "with no editors." Editors matter. Readers and shoppers don't want to have to slodge through giant dumpsters of low-quality content to find what they want. They appreciate an experience where the best stuff - or at least good-enough stuff - has been selected first.
It isn't just about porn. It's also about the huge burst of uneven creativity enabled by self-publishing tools. While self-publishing has enabled genuine talents like Amanda Hocking to rise to the top, the general lack of editing and selection means that there's a much worse noise-to-signal ratio among self-published works than among professionally published writing.
The e-bookstores could at least enable some check-boxes in the bookstore views, letting readers sort by target age (which would also prevent buyers of grownup comics from having to slog through kiddie stuff) or allowing them to exclude self-published material. But Amazon and Barnes & Noble appear to neither edit their stores aggressively nor empower users to do their own editing.
I'm hoping Barnes & Noble and Amazon get their acts together here and improve their online shelving, showing readers quality books first. Otherwise, there's a big opportunity here for Apple - the king of editing and content selection - to shake up the e-book market.
And to both Barnes & Noble and Amazon, would it hurt you guys to get a better selection of comics? The catalog of First Second Books would be a good start.

SCRIPTURES – Zechariah 9:9-12; Romans 7:14-25a;Matthew 11:25-30
"Come to me, all wholabor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, andlearn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest foryour souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matt. 11
Onceagain, with fireworks displays and cookouts and parades, we Americans havecelebrated our Independence Day. One of the special activities in Norwalk onJuly 4 was the reading of the Declaration of Independence by town clerk RichardMcQuaid. The 2nd paragraph begins with the very familiar words:
We hold these truths to beself-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by theirCreator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty andthe pursuit of Happiness.
TheDeclaration concludes:
We, therefore, the Representatives ofthe united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to theSupreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions… [and] with afirm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, mutually pledge to eachother our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Note thereferences to God. He is the Creator who endowed us with our rights, theSupreme Judge of how we live them, and the divine Providence we can call uponto protect our rights. How interesting that this foundational assertion of ournation's independence also asserts our dependence upon God!
Thisis not only interesting; it is Biblical. Note how today's Scriptures refer toGod. "YourKing is coming to you," says Zechariah. His rule shall be "tothe ends of the earth." Jesus gives thanks to His Father, the "Lordof heaven and earth." There can be no independence from the King whorules heaven and earth! This is true even for us followers of the humble andkind Son of God, for Jesus says of Himself: "All things have been handed overto me by my Father." We are all utterly dependent upon God; and, we arethe most blessed when we not only realize this but rejoice in this.
Rejoicein your dependence! This is not easy, as independence is something which wecrave.
Ø Fromearly on we are told, "Be your own person! Think for yourself!"
Ø Teenagersyearn for the independence that comes with a driver's license.
Ø And,the financial prosperity which frees you up to do more of what you want – buyor fix up a house; take a vacation; etc. – is something we all desire.
Wecrave freedom. We yearn for independence.
Independencefrom God, however – living as you wish and doing what feels right to youinstead of what He commands – is never a good thing. This is because we are notfree people. We are in bondage to sin, even the best of us. "Sindwells within me," the great apostle Paul laments, and what is true ofhim is true of us all. Do you not constantly feel sins' urgings and hear itswhisperings of discontent, dissatisfaction, envy, and anger? — even at God? "I donot understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the verything I hate." Boy, I've done that. "I have the desire to do what isright, but not the ability to carry it out." Sad, but true. "WhenI want to do right, evil lies close at hand." It sure does. It's asclose as:
Ø TheTV show you know you should click past and not watch because of the desires itwill reinforce in your mind;
Ø Theharsh response that's on your tongue, that you know will get your digs in;
Ø Yourspouse, whose request irritates because it's not what you want.
Sinand evil are in your heart; that's how close they are. They do not lie theredormant, but seek to shape how we think and live. This is why independence fromGod – not listening to Him, not believing that what He says in His Word istruly good and so gladly following it – results in much sin and evil. It cannotbut do so, for we are all, as Paul says in Romans 7, "captive to the law of sin thatdwells in [our] members."
Howmuch better to be captive to God and His Word, to say of the Lord of heaven andearth: "He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep ofHis hand." (Ps. 95) How much better to go to Jesus to "take[His] yoke upon you and learn from [Him]."
Ø Ayoke – the bar across the shoulders of an animal that binds it to a wagon andenables the driver to control it – is not the image we Americans want.
When you wearGod's yoke, however – when you bind yourself to His Word to learn it and obeywhat it says – "you will find rest for your souls," Jesus promises.
Howso? Where's the comfort and rest in not only confessing but gladly embracing and rejoicing in your dependence uponGod? As God's humble and obedient child you will be able to pray, as we did inthe Collect of the Day, "Gracious God,our heavenly Father, Your mercy attends us all our days." In Jesus God is Gracious,our heavenly Father. What a blessing to know that He is not an almightytyrant who doesn't care about you and so rules according to His own whims anddesires without regard to what they will do to you! That's how the citizens ofthe American colonies in 1776 viewed their King, George III. "The history of the present King of GreatBritain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in directobject the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States," Jeffersonwrote in the Declaration of Independence. That's not our King and Lord! InJesus God is a Father who loves you and receives you even in your sin; who willforgive you always, and no matter what the sin; who can be trusted to lead youin what is good and right, for He is a good Father; and, who will bring you tolive with Him in heaven. Your mercy attends us all our days: oh, what ablessing to know this! Attends us: inother words, God is attentive to us. He is not just aware, a great Eye in theSky. He is with you to help you. By His Word He directs your ways and keeps youfrom sin, with its harm and danger. He makes your faith stronger as He allowsyou to struggle and be tempted – but never too much, never apart from His restraininghand. You do not know your future, but God not only does; He prepares it andbrings forth His good purpose for you in it as you take His yoke upon you andlearn from Him.
Youknow, there was a time when getting married was called "getting hitched" or"being yoked." Although that may not sound all that good, it really is good. Iremember my life before I was yoked to my wife. I sure didn't eat as well! Ihad more freedom to do things, I suppose, but I'm much happier with the life I havenow. And, one of the main blessings is knowing that I'm not alone.
Ø Iremember when I arrived in Boston for my Vicarage year. How lonely I was in myapartment by myself!
I'venot felt that way since.
Howblessed it is to be dependent, to be yoked to the Lord of heaven and earththrough your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Don't ever be afraid of or fightagainst His yoke. "Take my yoke upon you," says Jesus, "and learn from me, for I amgentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yokeis easy, and my burden is light."

Oaks Day celebrations in Melbourne are in full swing with racegoers letting their hair down as the Spring Racing Carnival rolls on.
It's not hard to see why it's colloquially known as Ladies Day, with thousands of women attending the event in glamorous party outfits as they soak up the sun and enjoy a glass of champagne with friends.
Flemington Racecourse welcomed about 70,000 guests on Thursday, all of whom seem to have recovered from their Melbourne Cup celebrations remarkably well.
Described by the organisers as a day of 'beauty, femininity, style and grace', Oaks Day is known for being an afternoon during which racegoers can embrace 'wonderment' and escape normality.
A range of styles were on show, from floral chic to elegant bold shades and fully sequined sparkles.
Accessories took centre stage with many attendees sporting intricate fascinators of flowers and feathers.
The weather was a little kinder to racegoers compared to Tuesday's downpour, with the sun shining for the majority of the day.
Star jockey and previous winner of the Melbourne Cup, Michelle Payne, also took a sartorial risk and opted for a tutti frutti pleated dress in the unique shades of canary yellow and tangerine.
She later raced in the Kennedy Oaks and placed third.
Superstar mare Arisita, ridden by Damian Lane, won the $1million race.

Officials at the Newcastle-based bank insisted that the deal with the Championship club was in the "best interests of tax payers" after their counterparts at Newcastle announced the new deal.
Concern is bound to be raised by the new deal as the bank re-builds following the Government-imposed re-structuring that followed nationalisation of Northern Rock when it was at the centre of the credit crisis.
A Northern Rock spokeswoman told Telegraph Sport: "We do remain mindful of our responsibilities under Government ownership and therefore only consider those advertising and promotional channels that deliver a very high return on investment and are also a good strategic fit.
"We believe that the sponsorship deal with Newcastle United is right for us and provides both of those things.
"We feel that brand awareness and promotion are important elements in the continuing development of the company which is in the best interests of tax payers and we have looked at all advertising and promotional channels so they deliver a very high return on the investment and fit with our strategy. This deal does both.
St James' Park confirmed a new contract would take effect at the start of the 2010/11 season and had a "maximum sponsorship potential of £10 million" that would be "phased over four years".
A club statement said: "Newcastle United Football Club can confirm that Northern Rock plc, the new bank formed following the successful restructure of the Northern Rock business on 1 January 2010, is to become the main sponsor of Newcastle United Football Club."
The contract will expire at the end of the 2013/14 season, but would be " subject to agreed reviews" and follows what the club called "a long-standing relationship between Northern Rock and Newcastle United" with an " existing contract expires at the end of the current season".
Derek Llambias, Newcastle's managing director who runs the club for owner Mike Ashley, said the deal could help both organisations "achieve our respective goals".
"We are naturally absolutely delighted to have signed a new deal with Northern Rock plc and to have their logo adorn one of the most famous and iconic jerseys in world football from the start of the 2010-11 season," Llambias said.
"This alliance underpins the desire of two of the regions most well known names to continue to work together over the next four years.
"Sponsorship of Newcastle United is a proven commercial investment that not only generates significant media value for Northern Rock plc but also enables the bank to connect to customers at a local and national level.
"Newcastle United's aim is to return to the Premier League next season and we believe that collaboration will help both companies achieve our respective goals in the local, national and international marketplace"
Gary Hoffman, Northern Rock's chief executive, added: "I am pleased to confirm that the new bank has become main sponsor of Newcastle United. There has been a long-standing relationship between Northern Rock and the club, which dates back to 2004, and it represents an important community link.
"The new contract will help keep the Northern Rock brand in the public eye and reinforce our strong roots in the North East region, a community we are immensely proud to support."

Been looking for something different to do on the weekends? We recommend the Oyster Roast at The George Washington Hotel – happening every Friday night! From 6 to 8 pm on their Sundowner Patio, you can enjoy awesome oysters and of course, fabulous drinks to go along with!
Most people either love or hate oysters, and if you're unfamiliar with them, chances are you are not likely to try them. Truth is, oysters are delicious! They are versatile, they are unique, and there are so many different kinds worth trying. So many varieties of oysters are raised right here in Virginia, meaning we have access to some of the freshest and most delicious ones!
We were curious about why Chef John Lawrence, from George's Food and Spirits, chose to work so closely with oysters. Here's what he had to say, "I would start with simplicity, the basic shucked oyster stands by itself. Everything you wanted to know about it is sitting in that shell. The Merroir, the taste and texture of the oyster, allows you to understand the subtle complexities of the region that the oysters were raised. Salinity, metallic, sweet and earthy are revealed in one simple little package."
Taste of Blue Ridge's upcoming Root to Table event will feature tons of amazing food and talented chefs. Chef Lawrence will be there and, you guessed it, he will be preparing some truly wonderful Baked Rappahannock Oysters! If you loved the weekly Oyster Roast, you will love this event as well! Tickets are on sale now – you can purchase tickets and find more information here. Make sure you're following @tasteofblueridge on Instagram – we are posting daily updates and behind-the-scenes images to show you more about this remarkable culinary community!
The Oyster Roasts are only $20 per person which includes a draft beer or glass of house wine, and are open to all. You can delight in your choice of either one draft beer pint, or a glass of the house wine, and up to two dozen freshly shucked and roasted VA oysters. You can even purchase more roasted oysters at $12 per dozen, because we both know you'll be longing for more! Follow The George Washington Hotel on Facebook to keep up with the roasts and all other events.

The eastern region, one of the five regional power committees in the country, comprises Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha and Sikkim and was constituted in May 2005 to facilitate power system functioning in the area. About 100 delegates, including representatives from NHPC, NTPC and PowerGrid Corporation besides officials from Bhutan are scheduled to attend the meet.
"The meetings take place at regular intervals to evaluate technical requirements of the power system and arrive at solutions that will help bring energy security. This time it is being hosted by Bihar. State principal secretary (energy) Pratyaya Amrit is currently the chairperson of the ERPC," said R Lakshmanan MD of Bihar State Power Generation Company Limited and Bihar State Power Transmission Company Limited.
The meetings may discuss power requirements, new projects, central sector projects, construction of substations, planning and investments and inter- state coordination issues.
Asked about the role of Bhutan, he said, "The power generated from hydropower station in Bhutan is transmitted to India via the eastern region," he said.

A Coffee and the New Top 5 in iTunes Friday
In September 2011 I had posted a list of the top 5 tunes in Jeff's and mine iTunes library. Having recently synced most of our devices, I was curious as to whether or not anything had changed in terms of the top 5 tunes, and was pleased to see things had not remained static in the top spots.
So here, as of this week's sync of our iDevices, are the current top 5 tunes in iTunes in the Woodman household:
- Rescue by Seabird is now in the number one spot, and with good reason: I need to remember when I'm in a mess of my making, God is there as my rapture, my Saviour, and my rescue. Too often I'm like the prodigal son – returning with a plan to fix things after I've messed up. And just as often God is there as my Father, with a party which somehow rescues a weary soul and a contrite heart.
- Forget and Not Slow Down by Relient K is now 23 plays behind the number one song. I think I'm finally letting go of some regrets.
- Another song by Seabird has moved up the list: Stronger bumped out MercyMe's So Long Self (the latter now being in the #7 spot), and is still a great song to run to, drive to, clean the house to . . . (you get the picture).
- Every Teardrop is a Waterfall by Coldplay also continues to make many a running playlist. Plus I still love the line about rather being ". . . a comma than a full stop." Because you know what? God's stories don't stop with me. I'm a part of an ongoing narrative, and that is simply amazing. (This spot was previously held by Matthew West's You Are Everything, which is now in the #10 spot.)
- The Cave by Mumford and Sons has happily slipped into the space vacated by Seabird's Stronger, and it talks about holding onto hope, pressing on in spite of faults and fears, and understanding dependence. All good things for me to be reminded of on a regular basis.
What's in your top 5 on iTunes? Feel free to share in the comments section (I'm always on the lookout for new tunes!).

Did You Injure Your Head In A Motorcycle Accident?
An experienced attorney can help you recover
Bikers know that they take risks every time they get on the road. Because a motorcycle doesn't have an enclosed body like a car, motorcycle riders are some of the most vulnerable people on the road. That's why they take significant safety precautions such as wearing protective gear.
But even with those precautions in place, motorcycle accidents can and do cause serious injuries - and some of the most serious are injuries to the head, such as concussions.
The experienced motorcycle accident concussion lawyers at NLE Law are dedicated to helping injured motorcycle riders and passengers recover. We understand the long-term consequences of a head or brain injury, and we know how to pursue full and fair compensation for those injuries.
How motorcycle collisions lead to brain injuries
Unlike passenger cars and trucks, motorcycles provide no head injury protection to riders or passengers. Most commonly, bikers sustain concussions and other head injuries when they are thrown from their bikes and hit the ground or an object. Sometimes, a larger vehicle makes direct contact with the biker's head during a collision.
Helmets help to protect against head injuries, but they only do so much. Even a biker who is wearing a helmet may sustain a serious head injury depending on the circumstances of the accident. And the nature of brain injuries is such that even a seemingly minor impact can have serious long-term consequences. For instance, research shows that even mild concussions can lead to permanent damage to the pituitary gland, leading to debilitating, long-term symptoms such as fatigue, depression and mood changes caused by hormone deficiencies.
If you have symptoms of brain injury, you need to take immediate action
Brain injuries, along with some other types of injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents, can be especially dangerous because they have delayed-onset symptoms. That's why it's so important to seek medical help right away, even if you feel fine. Some symptoms that indicate you may have a concussion or other brain injury include:
- Confusion
- Disorientation
- Loss of memory
- Difficulty reading or concentrating
- Changes in mood
- Fatigue
- Sensitivity to light
- Ringing in the ears
- Blurred vision
- Loss of coordination or balance
In short, if something's not right, you need to see a doctor right away - and you need to contact us. The longer you wait to seek legal counsel, the more difficult it may be to get the compensation you need to move forward. We're dedicated to helping injured bikers recover, and our attorneys know how to get our clients the treatment and services they need to reach maximum medical improvement.
If you've been involved in a motorcycle accident and suspect you may have a concussion, we're ready to help you. Call (206) 623-7520 to schedule your free consultation.

I thought as a first post I would share my 2 cars that I have detailed using exclusively CG products. I had tried many different products in the past, the 300C here is plastic dipped Coy Orange, with matt black down the centre and on the wheels, and the M235i is just a standard Metallic Black paint, with clear bra.
These 2 require very different styles when detailing, and I have never found a product superior to CG when working on both of these.

City of Pearland, TXHome Menu
Methodology and response rate
- Using a mail-out/mail-back methodology typically gets a higher response rate than phone for the same dollars spent.
- Selecting households at random within the community to ensure those selected to receive the survey are representative of the larger community.
- Over-sampling multi-family housing units to improve response from hard-to-reach citizens.
- Contacting potential respondents three times to encourage response.
- Providing a pre-addressed, postage-paid return envelope.
- Weighting the results to reflect the demographics of the population.
Citizen Survey Results
Since 2009, the City of Pearland worked with outside vendors to conduct the Citizen Survey. The statistically- valid survey provides an opportunity to connect with community members and gain a better understanding with qualified data of opinions on City services and the perceptions of quality of life. The results are used by Pearland leaders to identify challenges and to plan for and evaluate improvements and to sustain services and amenities for long-term success.
Why use a scientific sample and not survey the entire population?
Just like well-grounded opinion polling in business or public policy, if you get a representative sample to respond for a large group, you can make solid, well-founded decisions based on the representative sample. Just like when you're doing your sampling of water quality and such, take a dip and you can assume that's true for the whole pool. The representative sample gets people that would not normally come to a City Council meeting or even vote, but live in Pearland. Additionally, the City has built in regular opportunities more and more into publications for quick feedback cards, so the representative sample scientific survey is one of several pieces, but one that we should put a good amount of weight towards.

2013 Survey Results
In 2013, Pearland residents were asked to rate Community characteristics and City services through a random survey. The survey of 400 residents was conducted via home telephone last fall. More than 90 percent of residents feel the quality of life in their neighborhood and in Pearland overall is good or excellent and residents continue to feel the convenient location is the best thing about Pearland. Results of the survey provide valuable feedback in improving the quality of City services.

Neuqu�n Province Coat of Arms
Geografical Location
Population: 474.155 inhabitants (2001).
Surface: 94,078 km2
Capital: Neuqu�n
Main cities: Neuqu�n, Zapala, Chos Malal, Alumine, San Mart�n de los Andes, Cutral C�.
Two main zones are distinguished: the mountainous west, with abundant rains, lakes and vegetation; and the
own Eastern part of the Patagonian plateau, with few precipitations and very barren.
Neuqu�n province is bounded by the provinces of R�o Negro on the East and South, Mendoza on the North and Chile on the West.
Valley of the Dinosaurs
Weather Conditions in Neuqu�n City
Of continental type. In the region of the Andes Mountain r the climate is cold and humid, with temperatures that oscillate between the 5 and 12 degrees Celsius and rains that reach 2,000 annual mm. In the mountainous zone, north for the Alumine lake, the climate is semi-arid, with rain between 150 and 300 mm.
In the rest of the province it is cold, dry, windy and with inferior rains to 150 mm.
In the mountainous zone, abundant rains make possible the existence of dense forests, in which
the dominant species are chew, Lang and the false larch. At the lower level of the forest is
plenty of collies, diverse shrubs and flowers like amancay.
Towards the east, the density of the vegetation is diminishing because of the lower
rain, changing from high trees to other small bushes species (main, cairn, none) and, finally, to the shrubs and grass.
There are many species that are exclusive of Neuqu�n, standing out two varieties of red deer: the puddle and humble.
Between the carnivorous mammals it is possible to see ferret, the Patagonian zorrino and the Mauna cat. The eagles, condors, woodpeckers, Patagonian coterie, finch, gallareta, Mac, heron, avutarda stand out between the birds.
Neuqu�n receives visitors worldwide interested in the sport fishing. Its rivers and lakes introduced species like the brown trout and rainbow, and other native ones like the pejerrey, perches and carps abound.

Fruitgrowing :
Towards the east of the province, in the valleys of the Neuqu�n and Limay rivers, the agriculture
is intensive and it has been developed by the construction of an artificial irrigation system that includes
drains and channels. The apples and pears occupy the first place in production, followed by the peach
trees, plums and sour cherries. It is also of consideration the production of grass and vegetables.
The Neuquina River basin - that also includes part of the provinces of R�o Negro, La Pampa and Mendoza- is the most important oil and gas productive zone of the country, it produces 39% of the total of petroleum of Argentina.
The Loma de la Lata deposit has verified reserves of 306,460 million of m3, it is the greatest of the country, and contributes with almost 40% of the gas produced in the country. Pipe lines have been constructed in order to transport the fluid towards others areas of Argentina and the neighboring countries.

Industry :
Although its highest concentration is around the capital city, it has important manifestations in other cities, as
the cement industry in Zapala. The mining reaches a high level of
development in the provincial northeast, while in the west the main economic activity is related to the forest operation and the sawmills.
