Now through May 28 , various times, Herron School of Art and Design, Indianapolis -- The technical skills of Robert Lostutter will entertain, enlighten and amaze gallery visitors. Lostutter is one of the finest watercolorists working today. The show will provide the viewer a glimpse into the development of this accomplished artist. How is it possible to create such brilliant, flawlessly detailed watercolors? Until now this is a process the artist has actively kept out of the public eye. This exhibit will offer a unique opportunity to witness a master's technical approach and process to one of the most delicate of all mediums, large-scale watercolor. The exhibition will travel to The Chicago Cultural Center from July 28 through Sept. 24. The exhibition is free and open to the public. The Herron Galleries are open daily from 11a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursdays until 7 p.m. Public parking is available in the IUPUI garage west of Herron. For more information, call 317-278-9419.

Powering up with kinesiology faculty member Mike Willet
Mike Willett holds 24 state records in powerlifting, a strength-based sport that includes three events: the squat, the bench press and the deadlift. Willett, associate chair of the Department of Kinesiology in IU Bloomington's School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, talked with Elisabeth Andrews, IU Media Relations, about his sport, his workout routine and his recent competition. "It's like being a soldier. I want to go down fighting. I love the sport too much to ever quit, so the only thing that would stop me is an injury that would prevent me from competing at a high level. I always tell myself that when I can no longer be the best I think I can be, it will be time to consider another sport," Willett said.

When new patients learn the IPC is unlikely to end their pain, and that pain control depends heavily on behavior and psychological adaptations, many are disappointed. Instead of the word "cure," Dr. MacKie talks about increasing function. "If we can double what they are doing, even with the same level of pain, that's significant progress," he says. "The idea is functional recovery with, optimistically, some measurable degree of pain relief."
