Dawgs Did It!

Butler 74, Florida 71

Great job!

As the New York Times notes, "Butler is the first team from outside one of the six major conferences to reach consecutive Final Fours since Nevada-Las Vegas in 1991. It is the lowest-seeded team to reach the Final Four since No. 11 George Mason in 2006."

Go Dawgs! Just two more games....

Go Dawgs!

Go, Dawgs! Beat them Gators on Saturday!

Really, now, is there anything else that needs to be said?

Jordan Academy of Dance to Close

Inside INdiana Business reports that Butler University has announced that the Jordan Academy of Dance, which has trained young dancers in Indianapolis since 1909, will close on 31 May because it is no longer a sustainable venture.

What Were They Thinking?

Has the management of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway lost its mind?

What ever would possess them to invite Donald Trump (who's flirting with a presidential run) to drive the pace car at the Indianapolis "500" -- for its centennial run no less!

This Indianapolis Observer is speechless.

"Change is Nature"

"Change is Nature", an exhibit of the works of Minda Douglas, continues through 25 March in Gallery 924, 924 North Pennsylvania Street, Indianapolis.

Douglas' series of mixed-media drawings reflects her interest in the natural world and its innate ability to be fragile and yet resilient. Life can end in the blink of an eye and other times, life persists, changes and evolves over centuries of geological time. The works in this series express the power, balance, and complexity of the natural systems that endure.

Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday.
