DESCRIPTION:The supersymmetric index of a microscopic theory has a macrosc
 opic dual formulation in terms of a gravitational path integral. I will di
 scuss supersymmetric non-extremal ("finite-temperature") saddle-points of 
 this gravitational index. These saddle-points compute the index of black h
 oles and black strings in asymptotically flat space\, even in the absence 
 of an AdS near-horizon region. I will then present a novel decoupling limi
 t of the black string solution in 5 dimensions in the limit that the 5d te
 mperature vanishes\, which gives a finite-temperature BTZ black hole that 
 computes the index in AdS3/CFT2.
