“Holiday Author Fair”

Dec. 5
Indiana History Center

Whether it’s an episode guide to “South Park,”
a soup cookbook, or a photographic history of Burger Chef, it’s difficult to predict what you’ll find at the Indiana
History Center’s annual author fair. This year, more than 80 select authors will be in attendance, available from noon
to 4 to answer questions and sell their wares. The bestselling writer there will be historical fiction specialist James Alexander
Thom, with his latest, “St. Patrick’s Battalion.”

Speakers in the Basile Theater throughout the day
include Dick Wolfsie (“Mornings with Barney”), photographer Terry Border (creator of the odd, inspired “Bent
Objects”), travel writer Jane Fortune (“To Florence, Con Amore”), and yours truly. Details here.
 

“Toys”

Dec. 4
ArtBox Gallery

Twenty artists have each been asked to create a singe piece of art based
on the theme “Toys.” Their creations should make the Artbox Gallery at the Stutz II building a great place to
launch a journey through the December edition of the monthly First Friday downtown gallery tour.

Other potentially
interesting stops: Dean Johnson Gallery features three designers approaching the vase, the urn and furniture; the Harrison
Center for the Arts hosts the color-themed “Black and White and Read All Over;” and G.C. Lucas Gallery, for its
final opening on Mass Ave., features “Exploring New Ways,” which includes paintings and solar-plate etchings by
Montana artists Nicholas Oberling and Jennifer Li.

Details on “Toys” here. For a full First Friday rundown, click here.

“Yuletide Celebration”

Dec. 4-23
Hilbert Circle Theatre

Maureen McGovern, the hostess of this year’s “Yuletide
Celebration,” is no stranger to Hilbert Circle Theatre, having joined the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra there earlier
in the season for a pops concert.

Best known for her pop hits “The Morning After,” “We May Never
Love Like This Again,” and “Can You Read My Mind” (featured in, respectively, “The Poseidon Adventure,”
“The Towering Inferno,” and “Superman,”) McGovern evolved into a well-respected cabaret artist with
a string of Great-American-Songbook recordings, high-profile nightclub gigs and Broadway appearances. 

Like Santa’s
pouch, “Yuletide Celebration” is always a very mixed bag. Joining McGovern in this annual mix of the sacred and
the playful will be a Liberace impersonator, a dog act, and the Yuletide debut of the ISO’s new Wurlitzer pipe organ.

Senate bill draws kudos, continued doubts

In the blogosphere, health-policy experts have given the Senate health reform bill kudos for trying everything under the sun to reduce health care spending, but there are lingering doubts about whether it will really work.

Company news

<p><strong>Dow AgroSciences LLC</strong>, which seems to sign a new deal every week, announced two, in fact, in the past eight
                     days. The Indianapolis-based developer of agricultural products announced Nov. 24 that its Canada subsidiary acquired the
                     assets                      of Hyland Seeds, a division of Thompsons Ltd. of Blenheim, Ontario. Dow Agro is adding distribution
                     capacity for the 2010 launch of its SmartStax variety of genetically modified seeds.                      Then on Dec. 1,
                     Dow Agro invested an undisclosed amount in Ontario-based Agrisoma Biosciences Inc. The companies have been collaborating
                     since 2004 to genetically engineer plant traits, and now will expand their work into field crops, such as corn and soybeans.
                     Dow Agro&rsquo;s investment secured it a commercial license option for Agrisoma technology.</p><p>The <strong>Indiana   
                     Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute</strong> has received $2.5 million to help it turn laboratory discoveries into
                     treatments faster. The money will be used to bring the <strong>University of Notre Dame</strong> into the institute, now a
                     partnership of Indiana and Purdue universities. Other funds will go to build up the institute&rsquo;s Web site          
                     and to figure out best practices for community-health efforts. Nearly $1 million of the funds will be used to recruit patients
                     to participate in clinical trials conducted by physicians at the Indiana Clinic, a new joint venture of the <strong>IU  
                     School of Medicine</strong> and the Indianapolis-based <strong>Clarian Health</strong> hospital system.</p><p>Officials of
                     <strong>Wishard Health                      Services</strong>                      released details Tuesday of their first
                     request for bids on construction of a new Wishard                      hospital downtown.                      Hospital officials
                     are looking for contractors to build a 2,300-space                      parking garage, the first of five buildings to  
                     house the new hospital. Marion County voters agreed&nbsp;                      Nov. 3 to back bonds that&nbsp; Wishard&rsquo;s
                     parent organization will sell                      to fund the $754 million project.                      A meeting about
                     the bid process will be held Dec. 17. The new hospital is scheduled to open                      in December            
                     2013.</p>
