Sony Superheroes Come to Life With Enovation,Xerox
G2 Graphic Service Bringing Superheroes and Movie Stars to Life with Equipment from Enovation. Marketing pieces help Sony's characters compete for box office dollars.
VALHALLA, N.Y. – The countdown on Sony Pictures Home Entertainment' website reads: 671 days, 14 hours, 5 minutes and 58 seconds (and counting!). Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (along with many Marvel Comic fans) is counting down to the arrival of "Spider-Man 3," the third in a series of blockbuster movies that's already netted Sony millions of dollars. "Spidey's" debut on the big screen three years ago broke movie industry records, reeling in more than $100 million in just the first weekend, even while competing with Ben Affleck's "Changing Lanes," Jodie Foster's "Panic Room," and the family-friendly "Ice Age."
Competing for the Viewers' Dollars
Competing for box office dollars is what the movie industry is all about and, in turn, why the marketing pieces and efforts surrounding a particular film are so crucial. The pieces – including everything from posters and P-O-P displays to window clings and signage – must be exciting, memorable and perfect. For that kind of high-end, high-quality printing, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment turns to G2 Graphic Service in North Hollywood.
Last year, when Marvel Comics' famous web-crawler took to the big screen for a second time in "Spider-Man 2," G2 Graphic Service tackled the job of producing posters, trade advertisements, consumer advertisements and window clings for the home video release.
And while the "Spider-Man 2" marketing collateral was a demanding job, it's just one of many that come through the doors at G2 Graphic Service.
"One of our primary staples is the entertainment industry," explains Joe Cotrupe, vice president of business development at G2 Graphic Service, "and that industry is extremely demanding."
Enovation, Xeros, Fujifilm Aid the Heroes
It was that demand that spurred G2 Graphic Service to install new equipment from Enovation Graphic Systems, including new devices from both Fujifilm and Xerox. "Our clients expect us to produce pieces of the ultimate quality and, to do that, we need equipment that's of the ultimate quality," he adds. "That's why we selected these new devices."
New in the prepress area is the Fujifilm Quattro scanner, PictroProof II contone proofer and FinalProof GxT digital contract proofer, along with a Rampage workflow. The company also added Xerox's new DocuColor iGen3 digital production press as well as Fujifilm plates in the pressroom.
The Fujifilm FinalProof GxT has really transformed the proofing process at G2 Graphic Service, not just in what the company is able to proof, but also in how they're able to proof. "For the first time our clients are truly able to see what their final projects will look like without the added expense of a press proof."
Building on the company's reputation of excellence in color proofing, Fujifilm gives users of the FinalProof GxT digital contract proofer added flexibility and versatility and allows them to tackle and proof jobs that they've not been able to previously. The FinalProof GxT system features an extended color gamut and allows users to transfer most PANTONE™ colors, opaque white and metallics to virtually any substrate. The Spider-Man poster is just one example of how the expanded proofing capability allowed G2 Graphic Service to accurately represent the 5th and 6th colors.
"On the creative side of this industry and at the higher-end of the spectrum, customers are willing to design and print jobs using an array of colors and metallics and with a number of very creative elements," Cotrupe says. "And if they're willing to design it, then we need to be able to proof it. The FinalProof GxT allows us to do that."
Extending the Gamut
In extending the color gamut for digital proofing, Fujifilm has added an 8-color library of donor material that, in addition to traditional C, M, Y and K, also includes green, orange, red and reflex blue. Additionally, custom libraries can be created using dot percentages of any donor color, expanding the gamut even further to accurately match more spot colors. "The majority of our studio work includes special 5th and 6th colors and often utilizes metallic colors as well."
Cotrupe says the prepress department at G2 Graphic Service is also pleased with the FinalProof GxT, especially with its user-friendly design and automation. "Our staff is the top of the industry and the automation of this device allows them to spend their time doing what they do best, instead of manually making and remaking proofs."

Google AdSense in Games
On Tuesday, Google announced the beta launch of AdSense for games which is expected to give the in-game advertising industry a huge boost, and will be Google's first foray into the video games market.
Below is a screencap of what we can expect with this move.
According to Christian Oestlien, the senior product manager for AdSense for Games, the program's beta launch will focus on the placement of a variety of forms of ads in Flash-based casual games and some larger titles.
In the beginning at least, Oestlien said, Google will work with partners like PlayFish, Mochi Media, Demand Media and Konami.
The latter, Oestlien said, would use AdSense for Games to place ads in well-known titles like Frogger and Dance Dance Revolution.
More information about this launch can be read here.

The first meeting of Gay Business Network NI was held on Tuesday 19th February 2013.
Lisa Walker, the founder of the network, said;
"Until now, Northern Ireland had no established forum for gay professionals to develop their businesses together. Once I realised this and started discussing the idea with other gay business owners and professionals, the potential benefits that come with developing a gay business network became clear. The network will allow us to promote businesses, advertise and generate business for each other all over Northern Ireland and at the same time provide a social outlet that will provide a forum for informal networking among group members".
"Our goals are;
To primarily support and promote businesses in NI that are run by people within the Network.
To create opportunities to work together, share experiences and become more profitable.
To work alongside well established groups like GNI, the Rainbow Project and Here NI to further improve the image of Gay people in Northern Ireland.
To develop a supportive social scene for gay people who want an opportunity to get involved in business in NI".
"We will be running monthly meetings as well as formal networking dinners and other social events. If you own or manage a business, are self employed, meet people as part of your job or if you simply feel that you have something to offer the group we would love to hear from you".
Like our facebook page for information on upcoming events.

Watching a panel of top British scientists set the UK on the road to new forms of nuclear power this week looked a bit like a scene from an American film where an impoverished farmer puts his son on a bus with a five-dollar bill to start life anew in the big city.
There were plenty of wise words from the scientists – led by the government's outgoing chief scientific adviser, Sir John Beddington – who were making public their year-long study and recommendations on nuclear research and development. There was that intriguing mix of promise and uncertainty.
As a bonus, there was even action, when over in a separate location government ministers announced they had taken some of the scientific advice to heart and were implementing measures to support new nuclear R&D.
But as with the underwhelming fiver handed over by the father, there was an unconvincing amount of money. The centrepiece investment was a £15 million starter kit to encourage industry, academia and government to work together – hardly an amount that will construct, say, a thorium molten salt reactor.
No doubt the vision and early groundwork was there, put forth by the scientists who besides Beddington included – among others – David MacKay, the chief scientific adviser to the UK's Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC); John Perkins, the chief scientific adviser to the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS); and Robin Grimes, the chief scientific adviser to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Beddington said at the London gathering that he "cannot see a future" for the UK energy sector without nuclear.
"If it's going to meet its obligations for greenhouse gas emissions and at the same time have some degree of resilience in the system, there has to be a significant component for nuclear," noted Beddington, before he revealed the recommendations of a study that goes by various names including "Nuclear R&D Roadmap."
The roadmap helped shape the simultaneous government announcement led by BIS and joined by DECC of a nuclear "industrial strategy."
The strategy included £15 million for research at three institutions that will bring together government, academia and industrial interests – key in a deregulated energy environment like the UK, where market forces rather than government runs the energy sector.
It also included the expansion of DECC's National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) into a full-fledged central government research and advisory institution.
NNL is a government owned, commercially operated group that has primarily conducted contract research programs. Its chief science and technology officer Graham Fairhall was part of the 6-person panel that presented the roadmap. NNL's managing director Paul Howarth was another of the roadmap's authors, as was Andrew Sherry, the director of the Rolls-Royce-backed Dalton Nuclear Institute at the University of Manchester. Sherry participated on this week's panel.
(For a full list of the report authors, click here and go to "Annex B").
The scientists urged the development of alternative nuclear technologies if the country is to choose the more nuclear-intensive of the government's proposed scenarios for cutting British CO2 emissions 80 percent by 2050.
DECC's MacKay said that in a high nuclear scenario with 75 gigawatts of nuclear capacity, nuclear could provide up to 86 percent of the UK's electricity, providing 525 terawatt hours (tWh) per year out of a total of 610 tWh, a level he noted is "comparable to France." Nuclear today provides about 18 percent of the UK's electricity.
"Clearly I think that if we're going to be thinking about a significant expansion of nuclear capacity as we move toward our goal in 2050 of an 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, we need to keep options open," Beddington said. "And part of those options is … having the R&D to think about taking it forward."
That "R&D" includes the development of a number of unconventional nuclear reactor types, elaborated MacKay, who noted that, "there are a variety of ways of delivering 75 gigawatts of nuclear." Among the alternatives that he and others mentioned: reactors such as "fast" reactors that can burn nuclear waste in a "closed fuel cycle", molten salt reactors, thorium-fueled reactors, and fusion.
If this sounds familiar, it's because I broke the story of the then forthcoming roadmap here on the Weinberg blog nearly two months ago. I subsequently tipped it in The Guardian and on my CBS SmartPlanet blog.
During the course of their year-long study, the Beddington crew gave ongoing advice to the government. That has already resulted in action, as BIS secretary Vince Cable and his DECC counterpart Ed Davey announced the £15 million for coordinated industry, academic and government nuclear research at NNL, Dalton, and at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy near Oxford.
The government's BIS-led "industrial strategy" announcement also noted that BIS has provided £18 million to 35 different nuclear R&D projects, including £6 million to OC Robotics, a Bristol, England company that makes a robot controlled laser cutting tool for decommissioning reactors (important for taking down old sites, but not a direct step toward new, alternative reactor technologies).
To further help coordinate industry, academia and government – a theme that the panel repeatedly emphasized – BIS and DECC announced an alphabet soup of agencies that will work under the government's recently formed Nuclear Industry Council.
The new Nuclear Innovation Research Advisory Board (NIRAB) carries on the work of Beddington's ad hoc Nuclear Research and Development Advisory Board, which wrote the advisory report. Another new group, the Nuclear Innovation Research Office (NIRO), will reside at NNL to advance NIRAB's work.
The government stated in its BIS-led announcement that, "It is keen to explore opportunities to back future reactor designs, including the feasibility of launching a small modular reactor (SMR) R&D programme to ensure that the UK is a key partner of any new reactor design for the global market."
On a related note, the Beddington advisory panel recommended that the UK join SMR development efforts with the U.S. where the Department of Energy (DOE) has a $450 million SMR development programme.
"There's a potential synergy by working with the Department of Energy in the USA, which is actually setting up a fairly large programme with significant finance in it," said Beddington. "In a sense we can work with them, and that is rather attractive. It generates a potential for piggybacking on work that's going to be done in working closely with the Department of Energy."
SMRs provide utilities and other end users with lower cost options for adding incremental power, and provide cleaner and lower cost energy in remote areas, where dirty and expensive diesel generators typically serve.
While SMR designs come in conventional uranium-fueled water-cooled varieties, many of the alternative reactors such as molten salt, pebble beds and fast reactors lend themselves to small form factors. In fact various fusion companies are also trying to develop small fusion reactors.
BIS scientific adviser Perkins described fusion "as a long term opportunity, where the UK has a significant position," given its research at Culham, which participates in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) fusion project in Cadarache, France. Perkins pointed out that, "there are crossovers in R&D between fusion research and fission research," as both involve developing materials that can withstand intensive neutron bombardment.
At the scientific advisers' press conference, Beddington said it is too early to choose any one SMR technology.
Other recommendations by the scientific advisers included that Britain:
- Rejoin the international Generation IV International Forum on nuclear development
- Participate in EU and other spent fuel recycling research
- Invest in "closed fuel" cycles and reactors that don't require constant replenishing of fuel as conventional reactors do
- Work on nuclear development with other countries including key partners France, the U.S., China, India, Japan and South Korea. (Such as with NNL's recently announced £12.5 million project at the Jules Horowitz test reactor in France)
- Invest in nuclear fuel fabrication and infrastructure
- Develop exportable nuclear expertise
Back to my farmer's analogy.
That £15 million is a good start. But like junior's five-spot, it's barely a token in an industry that the government this week valued at £1 trillion globally.
Serious development of alternative reactors will require serious money. To single out just one example, anyone I've ever talked to about building a thorium molten salt reactor sets the ultimate development cost in the billions of dollars. The £15 million pales next to that. So does the £12.5 million that DECC's NNL two weeks ago said it was investing in the Jules Horowitz test reactor in France, which to be facetious, could buy some pumps and valves and several cases of Chateau Pétrus, but won't come anywhere near getting the job done.
Nonetheless, these are undoubtedly significant developments.
Beddington called this week's announcement "an important and exciting first step," that "will reverse the years of decline in taking nuclear R&D seriously."
And additional government funding appears set for next year, when Grimes anticipates another £10 million for irradiation studies.
At some point, though, those numbers will have to grow by an order of magnitude.
"We probably do need to up the investment in nuclear R&D," Beddington said. "Unless we get that, I have concerns that there are issues around the nuclear program. But we've set out a fairly comprehensive R&D roadmap which I think will have an implication of additional money."
Given that the UK handed over real control of its energy sector to the market 20-some years ago in Prime Minister Thatcher's privatization movement, the hope might have to be that the newly strengthened industry-academia-government collaboration instigates more financial interest from industry.
To make up an example: How about if BP invests in SMR development? It's not so far fetched. Oil giant Shell has shown recent interest in a molten salt reactor.
In what looks like another step to help catalyze industry involvement, BIS – the government's business department – rather than DECC, ran this week's nuclear industrial strategy announcement. Prime Minister David Cameron echoed that same business emphasis later in the week when he gave BIS' business minister Michael Fallon the second job of energy minister within DECC (under secretary Davey), replacing former energy minister John Hayes, who is now an adviser to Cameron.
Fallon should encourage private investment across different energy sectors, including nuclear.
Until industry ponies up large sums for nuclear R&D, the government will continue to suffer from China envy, watching Beijing pour money into nuclear R&D, which it can do because it – not the market – controls the energy sector.
Once the real funding arrives in the UK, the ride could lead somewhere. Maybe even on an electric bus powered by nuclear.

Robert Rubin (l), Alan Greenspan (c), and Larry Summers (r) have deep and long ties to Citibank and to the highest levels of government. Rubin was chairman of Citigroup and a former Treasury secretary who pushed through many of the deregulatory schemes that made the 2008 to present Great Recession possible. Greenspan, the long-standing chairman of the Federal Reserve, created the money supply which fueled the housing bubble, this in response to the collapse of the tech bubble. Summers, also a former Treasury Secretary, pushed for the repeal of Glass Steagall, and other deregulatory measures including a hands-off policy toward the collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), which were at the heart of the 2008 financial meltdown. Summers has a long and checkered association with Citi, incluing accepting a free ride home on the Citi corporate jet from the Democratic Convention in 2008 and $99,000 for giving two speeches to Citi executives in 2008, shortly before he assumed regulatory oversight of Citi as an official in the Obama administration.

About Lancashire
All our Lancashire collections:
Lancashire's borders encompass a great swathe of land which includes the charms of Georgian Lancaster, and seaside dame, Blackpool. It also edges right up close to the Lake District, so it isn't short on natural wonders either. The range of choices when it comes to choosing the best places to stay in Lancashire's smaller towns and villages is just as broad. There are good options for walkers, and those wanting to explore the region's historic highlights, but there are also great bolt holes to escape to.
Lancaster's grand castle is a beacon, reminding us of this county's link with the monarchy, but these days Lancaster is more university city than seat of kings.
Just outside the city are the deep valleys and heather moorlands of the Forest of Bowland, part of the Pennines and a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Forest is popular with walkers and anglers especially.
If you're interested in discovering more about Lancashire's history you'll probably want to visit Clitheroe Castle, the ruins of Sawley Abbey and the Judge's Lodgings, once the home of witch-hunter Thomas Covell, who 'caught' the Pendle Witches.
The Lancashire coast has been a popular holiday destination since Victorian times, when Blackpool was queen of the seaside resorts. The pier, tower, ballroom, the 16 hectare Pleasure Beach and the annual illuminations still draw a crowd. If Blackpool's not your cup of tea, head further north to Fleetwood and Morecambe.
Our selection of the best places to stay in Lancashire cover most bases from family friendly seaside haunts to pubs with rooms to charming B&Bs. There truly is something for all tastes and budgets.
For Lancaster
- Penny Street Bridge occupies a lovely listed building right in the heart of the town. The rooms are crisp, modern and neutral, the bar and restaurant are popular with locals, and the 28 rooms start from just £85 per night.
- The Ashton is an exquisite Georgian manor house turned B&B, just five minutes from the centre of Lancaster. There are just five, carefully styled rooms in this romantic bolt hole.
For Lancashire's lovely coast
- The Midland Hotel is a fabulous seaside Art Deco icon in Morecambe, just on the coast by Lancaster with the Lake District fells in the background and the great open expanse of Morecambe Bay in front.
- The Big Blue Hotel is big and blue and right next to Blackpool's Pleasure Beach. Very child friendly, but also surprisingly chic, considering its 157 rooms start from just £55 per night.
- If you're looking for something a bit more boutique on the coast, try Number One South Beach, which has a range of uniquely decorated rooms and sweeping views over the beach. They say it's 'South Beach in Blackpool'…
For exploring the region
- Hipping Hall Hotel is a traditional farmhouse crossed with a roadside inn, just 20 minutes from the Lake District. The excellent restaurant makes this more of a restaurant with rooms - six inside the house and three cottages in the yard.
- The Spread Eagle near Clitheroe is a bright and stylish pub right on the river in the pretty Ribble Valley. There are seven rooms, popular with walkers because it's right on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales with glorious views of the Pendle Hills.
To escape!
- Northcote is a real foodie delight offering Michelin starred cooking with produce sourced locally - if not direct from the garden. The hotel itself was converted from an imposing Victorian manor house, and the decor is plush but masculine.
- The Inn at Whitewell is in a picturesque village in the heart of the Forest of Bowland. This 23 room inn has been in the family for three generations now and the family's taste for unusual and beautiful antiques has not faltered.
- The Cartford Inn is a fabulous 17th Century coaching inn on the River Wyre. As well as plenty of charm this property has outstandingly beautiful views.

text: Right, so... for those who are in Toronto, we had an African music festival this weekeend, Bana Y Afrique. I had a fantastic dish of barbequed tilapia (steak cross-cut cf. a filet), couscous made from cassava (excellent!) and this tomato sauce. I grilled (pardon the pun) the woman on the ingredients, and she was not forthcoming, so I switched to French, hoping to get around the linguististic barrier. No dice. She told me me that it was tomato, ginger root, and some chili pepper, but the rest was "African spices". No elaboration on that. Please, anyone, if you know what it might be, tell me! This stuff was ambrosia!

Eck's Saloon Has Poured Its Last Shot in Lakewood
Eck's Saloon, another local watering hole that's dried up.
Jon Solomon
Dive bars are disappearing all over metro Denver. The latest casualty? Eck's Saloon, which was a rock-music haven as well as a popular Lakewood joint, although it had apparently become a lot less popular in recent years. Jon Solomon reported the news yesterday on Backbeat; once owned by Mike Bruno (who also owned Iliff Park Saloon and Bruno's Saloon), the bar had changed hands twice in as many years. See also: Lakewood Rock Haven Eck's Saloon Has Closed
The music has died at Eck's Saloon.

People have been pouring out their memories in the comments section of our original story. A sampling:
From Christi: "So sad! I have so many great memories there! And it was the place I could feel close to some of the ones that are no longer with us. ( This bar was my "home" filled with family! I feel like so much is lost now. I'm literally in tears."
From Melissa: "Another one bites the dust! Hey, I still miss the Rainbow Music Hall on Evans. It is a Walgreens now."
Says Rachel: "What? Damn I've had some good times there!

DENSO Slashes Size and Weight of Radiator by 40 Percent
― Environmentally friendly design allows for more efficient use under-the-hood real estate ―
KARIYA (Japan) ― DENSO Corporation developed a new and more efficient radiator that is 40 percent smaller and lighter, compared to DENSO's previous radiators. Also, the radiator's tank is made with a plant-derived resin making it more environmentally friendly than conventional radiators.
"The radiator's reduced size translates into greater design flexibility for installation in the engine compartment. This also helps make the vehicle safer in the event of a frontal collision because the reduced size allows for a larger impact or crash zone," said Akio Shikamura, senior executive director of DENSO's Thermal Systems Business Group. "In addition, the radiator's tank is made of a plant-derived resin, which DENSO has been mass-producing since 2009, making the radiator greener and environmentally cleaner than traditional radiators."
Smaller, Lighter, More Efficient:
With higher heat radiation efficiency, the new radiator is only 16 mm wide, but equal in performance to the conventional 27 mm wide radiators, resulting in a substantial size and weight reduction. A radiator's performance depends on its two major components – fins and tubes. The radiator's more efficient heat radiation is achieved through improvements in the design of the fins. DENSO increased the amount of louvers – that are located on the surface of the fin – to 30 percent per unit area. This design change allowed the radiator to have 10 percent more efficient heat radiation than DENSO's conventional radiators.
DENSO, along with a materials manufacturer, has jointly developed thinner and higher-strength materials that are used to make the fins and tubes. This new material allows for a global procurement of materials, which helps DENSO be cost-effective in all regions around the world. The fin, using DENSO's manufacturing expertise, is the world's thinnest of its kind. The radiator offers the same strength as DENSO's previous radiators while using thinner materials. All these advantages enabled the radiator to be 40 percent smaller and lighter than the previous models.
The newly developed 16 mm wide radiator is installed in the Lexus GS. In addition to the 16 mm wide radiator, DENSO will also commercialize a 27 mm wide type, which is thinner than the conventional model of 36 mm type, and 11.5 mm wide type which are thinner than the conventional model of 16 mm, to offer a wider range of the new radiator series for a greater range of vehicle models.
DENSO will continue its research and development to expand its new radiator series into more environment-friendly and safer products to meet the increasingly diverse vehicle needs worldwide.
DENSO Corporation, headquartered in Kariya, Aichi prefecture, Japan, is a leading global automotive supplier of advanced technology, systems and components in the areas of thermal, powertrain control, electric, electronics and information and safety. Its customers include all the world's major carmakers. Worldwide, the company has more than 200 subsidiaries and affiliates in 35 countries and regions (including Japan) and employs approximately 120,000 people. Consolidated global sales for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011, totaled US$37.7 billion. Last fiscal year, DENSO spent 9.3 percent of its global consolidated sales on research and development. DENSO common stock is traded on the Tokyo and Nagoya stock exchanges. For more information, go to www.globaldenso.com, or visit our media website at www.densomediacenter.com.
The radiator, located at the front of the engine compartment of a vehicle, is a heat exchanger which cools the engine cooling water. The radiator consists of three units: tubes through which engine cooling water flows, a tank that stores the water, and corrugated fins for heat exchange. When outside air drawn through the front side of the engine compartment is forced through the radiator fins, it removes heat from the fins and thus cools the engine cooling water flowing through the tubes.

Research Results
Paper Abstracts
Abstracts and summaries of online reports, publications, and academic papers from the Indiana Nonprofit Sector Project. Topics include the characteristics and challenges of Indiana nonprofits, nonprofit employment, volunteering and individual engagement with nonprofits, and analysis of nonprofit databases and community variations in the density of nonprofits. See our list of project publications.
Indiana Nonprofit Employment
Our ongoing analysis of Indiana nonprofit employment is a joint effort by the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and the Indiana Business Research Center at Indiana University to document the significant role of Indiana nonprofits in the state's economy by providing detailed information on the size, composition, and distribution of paid employment in the private nonprofit sector in Indiana.
Local Government Officials Surveys
The Indiana Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (IACIR) periodically collects information on current issues affecting local governments in Indiana and/or services available to Indiana residents. Since 2010, these surveys have included questions on topics particular interest to Indiana nonprofits. A series of short briefings on selected topics are posted here.
Indiana Nonprofit Surveys
All publicly available sources of information about nonprofit organizations exclude large segments of the nonprofit sector and contain very limited information. We have therefore developed several major surveys to provide important benchmark information about the Indiana nonprofit sector and allow for a more indepth understanding of the important contributions Indiana nonprofits make to the state and local communities.
Special Topics
We have completed several smaller projects on special topics relevant to the Indiana nonprofit sector. This includes an analysis of the impact on Indiana nonprofits of changes to overtime pay requirements (effective December 1, 2016), a survey of the extent to which Indiana residents trust nonprofits more or less than other key institutions (October 2008), and a survey of the personal affiliation of Indiana residents with nonprofits (May 2001). The results and key findings of the surveys are posted here.
Nonprofit Composition
See our IRS Exempt Status Initiative report - an analysis of Indiana nonprofits that have had their tax-exempt status revoked by the IRS because of noncompliance with the Pension Projection Act of 2006. Also, view GIS maps of Indiana nonprofit organizations by type, NTEE category and total count of the organizations. Each link connects to maps by raw count and density.
Comprehensive Searchable Nonprofit Database
We have updated our comprehensive, searchable database of Indiana nonprofits using listings available from the Internal Revenue Service (tax exempt entities with Indiana reporting addresses), the Indiana Secretary of State (entities incorporated as nonprofits in the state of Indiana), and the yellow pages (religious congregations in Indiana).

Western Refining Finalizes Purchase of Arizona Chevron Stations
The company also completed the master lease for Chevron/Valero c-stores formerly run by the Loma Catalina Co.
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif. -- Western Refining Southwest Inc. has finalized its purchase of multiple Chevron-branded gas stations and convenience stores in Tucson, Ariz., from Fisher Arizona LLC, according to Fisher's financial advisor AXIS Business Advisory Services LLC.
"This was the second transaction we closed in as many months representing owners of gas stations and convenience stores in Tucson, Ariz.," said Marc Berger, co-managing director for AXIS and lead principal for the transaction. "Western Refining Southwest Inc. was the acquirer in both transactions. I think it is another excellent strategic move by Western Refining as a means to lock up distribution for their refined product."
Western Refining Southwest also completed a master lease agreement with Loma Catalina Co. for 17 Catalina Mart c-stores and gas stations, along with supply agreements with Chevron and Valero, AXIS announced.
"We're pleased to have been the lead financial advisor for this transaction, which took the collective efforts of all the participants. Chevron USA Inc., Valero Energy Corp. and McDonald's Corp. were all extremely helpful in assisting with a complex structure," said Berger.
As CSNews Online previously reported, Western Refining Southwest announced the purchase of the stores in June and began operating them later that month.

Project DescriptionResponding to the organizing elements established in the Campus Master Plan, the new Student Center is positioned immediately adjacent to the intersection of the "arc" and "spine". The "spine" relates to an axial link from the existing Campus center, aligning with the footbridge across the ravine, to the center of the academic and administrative core of the campus. The "arc" refers to a linear pedestrian-based development pattern running from the west to the northeast, on which current and future administrative, academic and recreational buildings are located.
The building design has two differing "faces" ... the campus entry and the campus core. The campus entry side of the building utilizes very traditional modular brick masonry to reflect the materials of the existing campus, yet introduces a very dynamic and contemporary look. The campus core sides of the building are treated with a smooth two color aluminum composite panel system suggesting the slick, contemporary aesthetic that is associated with technology.
The first floor accommodates areas that have the highest potential student interaction and benefit from at grade access or proximity to loading and service. Spaces include dining, servery and support, multi-purpose, storage and mechanical areas. The second floor is "carved" away in numerous locations to allow for multiple vantage points and overlooks. Floor openings mimic the rotated geometries of the exterior envelope, provide lounge spaces, and give the opportunity to "see and be seen".
The project was designed to meet the requirements of Executive Order 111 and LEED Silver Level Certification.

Grace Huang was born in Wisconsin and grew up in East Lyme, Connecticut (this town is not where Lyme disease originated from (it's east of that town). She received her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in the field of political science. An intellectual question that motivates her research is this: what are the conditions that promote collective inspiration versus collective hysteria or violence? Her research interests include political leadership, the political uses of shame in Chinese leadership, and rural to urban migration in China.
Dr. Huang's teaching interests include Comparative Politics, Democratization in Asia, Chinese Politics, and the Rise of India and China. Her research interests include political leadership, the political uses of shame in Chinese leadership, and rural to urban migration in China.
In her spare time, Dr. Huang enjoys outdoor activities with her family and reading to her son and daughter.
My research has taken me to a riveting period in Chinese history—an era sandwiched between the fall of a dynastic empire in 1911 and the rise of a Communist China in 1949—China's long revolution.

The Selection is In
There were two paltry votes (one of which was made by me!) to make a selection of which poem I'll revise for an end-of-the-year collection. Thank goodness they were for the same poem or I'd have to flip a coin. No matter, we'll do better next time I'm sure.
Our selection was from week three, the poem about the guest taxidermist. Obviously I'm fine with the choice since it was the one I voted for. When I revise the poem I'll talk about the process and try to articulate why I select different words and phrases.
My Prompt for Next Week
This week for something different I had my kids pick the prompt cards from the Storymatic for me. My daughter selected the character cards (the first two prompts) and my son selected the situation cards (the last two prompts). I'm excited for this week. Not that the prompts haven't been fun before but these are really evocative to me.
- Trespasser
- Recluse
- Undeveloped roll of film
- Long awaited invitation
My Poem from Last Week
All of the Children Are Grown Up
Yesterday Bobby was the servant
We made him get us lemonade and snacks
Under the hot sun
He spent the afternoon spritzing a cool mist
And adjusting umbrellas to block the blaze
Ours moms just watched
As they haggled
Over items priced for a quarter or less
Which they no longer wanted
But felt some value could be had
Today I am the servant
Making Kool Aid (grape)
With too much sugar
The twins like to feel grit between their teeth
Inside I missed the incident outside
Some baseball cards went missing
Aiden, one of the twins, calls Bobby a thief
Alyssa, the other twin, calls for a full investigation
The cards are sitting next to me
On the table were Aiden put them
I transition from comfort to heat
Drinks and cards on my tray
Innocently I ask if they are Aiden's
Must have forgotten them inside
The twins look mollified and drink in silence
I whisper to Bobby that he's now in my debt
To be collected at some future date
Announce to the group that I am the host
As it's not appropriate to have servants these days

- "You can have your shockball cards back...when Tatooine freezes over!"
- ―A seriously annoyed parent
When Tatooine freezes over is a euphemism for never or infinity commonly used throughout the galaxy, since nearly everyone thought of Tatooine as "the planet water abandoned". The phrase is so popular, that Darthipedians have used it on numerous occasions, including by the evil admins when they ban a troublesome user for good.
Han Solo once attempted to ground his children until Tatooine froze over, however they were able to use the Force to countermand his orders. This happened so many times, that Han eventually gave up trying to ground them.

Location: Jean Mayer Human Nutrition Research Center On Aging2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
1. Determine the effect and mechanisms of food components and their interaction with age on immune function and infectious diseases. a) Determine the mechanisms of Vitamin E-induced enhancement of T cell function in the aged with focus on early activation signaling and membrane related events. b) Determine the contribution of polymorphisms at cytokine genes to heterogeneity of vitamin E-induced effects on cytokine production and resistance to respiratory infections. 2. Determine the effect of reducing caloric intake on the immune response of humans. 3. Determine the effect and mechanisms of food components and their interaction with age on immune function and infectious diseases.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
T cell function declines with age resulting in higher incidence of infections in the elderly. We showed that vitamin E (E) supplementation enhances T cell function in the aged. In Objective 1-A, we will test the hypothesis that T cell receptor (TCR)-induced signalosomes(combination of protein and lipids that are formed at the site of T cell and antigen presenting cells) exhibit age- and vitamin E (E)-related differences in their patterns of protein and lipid recruitment. We will identify qualitative and quantitative age- and E-related differences in the protein and lipid composition of signalosomes using an enhanced magnetic immunoisolation procedure and highly sensitive and quantitative proteomics and lipidomics methods. In objective 1-B, we will test the hypothesis that higher frequencies of specific cytokine polymorphisms contribute to incidence and severity of respiratory infection (RI) in the aged and that the effect of E on RI is dependent on cytokine genotype. This will be tested using data and DNA samples collected from a 1-year randomized, doubleblind, controlled (RTC) study of E supplementation in elderly. In Objective 2 we will test the hypothesis that a long- term calorie restriction (CR) intervention in humans will enhance T cell-mediated function and that the CR- mediated effect is due to intrinsic changes in T cells and/or a reduction in prostaglandin PGE2 production. This hypothesis will be tested utilizing subjects enrolled in the NIA- supported multi-center RTC, CALERIE Phase 2 and determining the effect of CR on T cell subsets proliferation, and intra- and extra-cellular cytokine, and PGE2 levels before, and following 1 and 2 years of 25% CR. These studies will help develop effective strategies to improve the immune response in the elderly.
3. Progress Report:
Zinc is essential for the regulation of immune response. We previously reported that 30% of nursing home elderly had low serum zinc levels, and zinc deficiency was significantly associated with higher incidence and duration of pneumonia, as well as decreased all-cause mortality. We have now determined the effect of zinc supplementation on serum zinc levels and T-cell mediated function (a key cell in fighting against pathogens, the function of which declines with age) in the zinc deficient nursing home elderly. We found that dietary supplementation with 30 mg/day of zinc for 3 months is effective in increasing serum zinc levels and improving T-cell mediated function. Results suggest that zinc supplementation may be an effective strategy to improve immune function in zinc deficient nursing home elderly. Obese individuals and the elderly are at a high risk of becoming iron deficient and having an impaired immune system. Little is known about the effect of obesity in the elderly on iron status and immune response. Weight loss through calorie restriction may have beneficial effects on iron status and immune response of obese young and older adults. We have shown that elderly Ecuadorian women with high BMI have higher inflammation and increased hepcidin, a hormone that when upregulated, lowers iron levels in blood. We have also shown, in collaboration with researchers at Boston University School of Medicine, that calorie restriction in obese adults lowers inflammation and hepcidin. In this study we also showed that macrophages in the subjects' adipose tissue may be significant producers of hepcidin, which might be part of the mechanism by which iron deficiency occurs in the obese. Currently, we are investigating the impact of calorie restriction on iron homeostasis and immune response of young and older obese women in. With this research we hope to elucidate the mechanisms underlying impairment of iron status and immunity in young and older obese individuals, with the long term goal of developing strategies for their improvement. Some components in olive oil, referred to as phenolic compounds, have been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Very few studies have evaluated the role of olive oil, the main oil consumed as part of the Mediterranean diet, on immune function of the elderly. We are conducting a study to determine whether high olive oil consumption will reduce inflammation and improve cell-mediated immune response in the healthy elderly (aged 65 and above). Measures of interest include the in vivo immune response index, delayed type hypersensitivity skin response and the ex vivo immune response indices such as immune cell counts in blood, proliferative response of T lymphocytes and their subsets, and production of different cytokines known to regulate immune and inflammatory responses. The study is designed to have 20 participants in each diet group (olive oil or control) when completed. Currently, of the 44 eligible participants, 17 have completed the study, 6 are currently in the study, and 17 have been scheduled to start the study. Results have the potential to identify olive oil consumption as a dietary intervention to favorably modulate immune and inflammatory responses, which has the implication of preventing and/or mitigating age-related diseases. Observational studies have suggested an association of whole grain diet with reduced risk of developing obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers. We are conducting a study to determine how consumption of diets rich in whole grains vs. diets rich in refined grains would impact immune, digestive, and cardiovascular health in the healthy adults aged 45-65 years. In this study, we plan to have 40 participants in each of the two diet groups. Currently, 7 participants have started, and 12 are scheduled to start the study. Results have the potential to identify whole grains as a dietary intervention to improve physiological functions in multiple bodily systems. We have conducted a study to determine the effect of two years of calorie restriction (CR) on immune response in humans. We have completed all the participant visits, sample collections, and measurements for proposed analytes. The data analyses are underway, and the final data report will be submitted to the collaborators at Duke University. When completed, this work will provide the first data to learn how long term CR impacts human immune response. To quantify more precisely the measurement errors associated with different methods for assessing diet and physical activity in large epidemiologic studies, the Nutritional Immunology Laboratory collaborated with the Harvard School of Public Health to conduct the Women's Lifestyle Validation Study (WLVS) and the Men's Lifestyle Validation Study (MLVS). Through the use of multiple measurements, the studies will evaluate the validity of various objective biomarkers, as well as existing and new methods for assessing diet and physical activity. Over a period of one year, WLVS has successfully collected data on 761 women among participants in the ongoing Nurses' Health Study I (NHS I) and Nurses' Health Study II (NHSII) cohorts. Laboratory determinations of study samples, data cleaning and preliminary analyses of available data are currently ongoing. MLVS has successfully enrolled about 400 participants from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study and the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, and aims to enroll 300 more. Findings from the two studies will be of great value for the interpretation of a large body of published literature on the impact of diet on health and immune response in older men and women, as well as inform future study design and methods. Little is known about the impact of age on asthma despite the increasing occurrence of the disease in elderly patients. In addition to investigating the role age plays in this disease, we also looked at the efficacy of a potential preventative dietary component: fish oil. We found that fish oil was effective at decreasing both the tissue damage caused by asthma and reducing the number of inflammatory cells in the lungs of old asthmatic mice. Although more research is necessary, these results provide support for identifying new ways to mitigate asthma in elderly. Over activity of T cells is a key contributor to autoimmune disease, the incidence of which increases with age. Green tea has components in it that are biologically active and can affect T cells. One such component is epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG, which inhibits T cell proliferation and function. We investigated the effect of EGCG on several protein molecules [interleukin (IL)-2, IL-7, and IL15], which are known to transmit signals to maintain and regulate T cell growth and function, as well its underlying mechanisms. We found that EGCG interfered with the interaction of these molecules with their receptors, the structures on cell surface that receive these molecules and relay signals into the cells, by reducing their production and availability. EGCG can thus block signal transmission to T cells resulting in reduced T cell activation. These results identify EGCG as a potential dietary intervention to suppress the overactive response of T cells that causes autoimmune diseases. It is believed that various T cells play an important role in the autoimmune response. We have previously reported that EGCG can improve autoimmune disease in an animal model. The underlying mechanism for this effect of EGCG is not completely understood. One mechanism through which EGCG could improve autoimmune disease is by altering the population of different types of T helper (Th) cells. To further determine the mechanisms, we investigated how EGCG modulates generation of various Th cells from a common precursor, called naïve T cells. We found that EGCG reduced development of naïve T cells into autoimmune-promoting Th cells (Th1, Th9, and Th17), and protected the positive response of the T cells known as regulatory T cells, a type of T cells critical in suppressing autoimmune response. We further found that EGCG affected the regulatory network for each of the T cell types. These results as well as those mentioned above will help in better understanding of EGCG's beneficial effect on autoimmune diseases and provide useful information for potential application in the prevention of autoimmune diseases in humans. Wolfberry (WB) has been demonstrated to improve immune response against the influenza infection in old mice. Our preliminary results indicated that wolfberry could improve antibody response against influenza virus in old mice. To determine the underlying mechanisms, we investigated the impact of wolfberry on dendritic cells(DC), a key cell involved in helping B cells produce antibodies. The DC from old mice were treated with WB in vitro, and their ability to affect DC function was determined. We found that WB promoted DC maturation of DC and enhanced their function as indicated by production of regulatory molecules. All these processes are important for recognizing pathogens and developing antibodies to combat pathogens. These results suggest that WB may improve the ability of DC in the elderly to induce antibody production. Further studies are needed to determine if similar results can be reproduced in humans.
4. Accomplishments
1. Wolfberry (Goji berry) consumption enhances defense against influenza infection. Flu is a major cause of illness and death worldwide. Improving immune function is a key to increase a host's resistance to influenza infection, and nutritional intervention is a promising approach to attaining this goal. ARS-funded researchers at JMUSDA-HNRCA at Tufts University, Boston, Massachusetts, conducted a study to determine the effect of wolfberry, a wild fruit shown to boost immune response, on influenza infection in an animal model. They found that wolfberry consumption reduced morbidity due to influenza infection as exhibited by prevention of influenza-induced weight loss and pathological changes in the lungs. Further they showed that these effects of wolfberry were due to maintaining optimal immune response during infection. These results strongly suggest that wolfberry would have the potential to improve the immune response and increase resistance to influenza infection in older humans.
2. Obesity in pregnancy impairs fetal iron status. Iron is essential for fetal development. Since obese individuals are at risk of becoming iron deficient, it is important but yet not known whether obesity in pregnancy would affect maternal and fetal iron status. ARS-funded researchers at JMUSDA-HNRCA at Tufts University, Boston, MMassachusetts, conducted a study to find the answers. They showed that cord blood from newborns of obese mothers had significantly lower levels of iron than cord blood of newborns born from lean mothers. The obese women also had significantly higher blood levels of inflammation markers and hepcidin, a molecule known to regulate iron homeostasis. These findings suggest that maternal obesity may compromise iron transfer to fetus, which poses a potential, negative impact on the offspring development and long-life health status.
